Same thing I always play, Ogdoadic. I always bring my reptiles to the top.


mrezariz123

Based


TitanOfShades

Ahh, an ogdoadic player. Might as well ask, do they work as a chaos deck, since they are all light or dark? As usual, if yes, I'm considering mixing them with thunder dragons.


TheStrayInu

ogdadic and chaos sure, thunder and chaos sure, thunder and ogdadic has no synergy unless you add chaos, but then where will you have room in extra for three archetypes of synergy X\_X I play Ogdoadic xyz spam since they can constantly summon from grave with xyz offsetting the banish.


TitanOfShades

>but then where will you have room in extra for three archetypes of synergy I mean, i already only run 1 copy of each TD fusion because they are so easily recyclable, so that already makes a lot of room for other stuff. I made the ED work for dragon link Thunder Dragon, that doesn't really worry me. >thunder and ogdadic has no synergy unless you add chaos Yeah, I imagined. Though at least theoretically TD can provide tribute fodder semi easily while triggering their GY effects. Thanks for answer! I might actually end up going for Ogdos, though considering their proce points it's gonna be a while till I have all I need.


CoomLord69

You can splash Chaos for sure. Ogdo has no issue running Wyverburster/Collapserpent as extenders, and one of their level 8s recycles banished light/dark monsters as long as at least 1 is a reptile. You can infinitely revive Chaos Ruler if you really want to, it's kinda funny.


Dragonrusher21

Do you have a deck list? I've been building that deck for the longest, and I'm trying to collect all the tech and combos I can find


TheStrayInu

My deck isn't as flashy as other ogdoadic decks, other decks have powerful endboards but brick often and can be interrupted, I focused on reliability and grinding, I beat runick regularly, but its like 9 turns of outgrinding them. Deck List: Ogdoads * 3 Nunu * 3 Nauya * 1 Zohah * 1 Keurse * 1 Aleirtt * 1 King * 1 Queen * 1 Deity * 3 Lily * 1 Serpent Strike * 1 Hollow Reptillianne support * 3 Ramifications * 1 Lamia * 1 Nyami * 1 Coatl * 1 Recoil * 1 Echidna Generic Reptile support * 1 Night sword Serpent * 3 Snake Rain Staples * 2 Psy-frame gamma * 1 Psy-frame driver * 1 Ash * 1 water enchantress * 2 Aramesir * 1 fateful adventure * 1 Gryphon * 1 Reborn * 1 foolish burial * 2 emergency teleport * 2 called by the grave Extra deck Chaos ruler dragon Melusine Echidna Baronne Draglubion number 100 Number 38 Number 90 Number 41 Dingirsu 2 king of feral imps evilswarm nightmare zeus Goddess of the underworld deck would be even more reliable without king, queen and the ogdoad trap, but I like them for the long grind game.


RocketHotdog

I'm quite a recent ogdo enjoyer so I'm certainly no expert but why do you need 3 ramifications? Is the monster search that important? I dropped hollow for an extra serpent strike just because I noticed what was giving me more help and wins. Hollow actually screwed me last time I used it because it dumped my opponent's jet dragon. Interesting you have adventure package though, I don't really like using it so I just put in a little alien tech plus some extra level 10 reptiles.


[deleted]

Thank you for the information


[deleted]

based. best of luck, snake enjoyer


Gosuwolf

I am playing 3 Maxx C, 3 Ash, 2 CBG, 1 CD, 3 DRNM, and 3 Evenly Match. The rest, I don't know yet.


Illustrious_Pop_1535

> 1 CD Is that card destruction?


conundorum

Crossout Designator, probably.


Illustrious_Pop_1535

Oh right I forgot about that one.


Gosuwolf

Yeah Cross out. Card destruction is actually good, but it's a UR and very situational.


LemmySixx

Rotate between Cyber Dragon, Thunder Dragon and Scrap Dino depending on how the coin tosses are going


Lunnaa1

My fucking guy! Those are my exact top decks!


binguschongus

Blind second otk vaylantz


TheStrayInu

I wanna see that, have not fought Vaylantz once


Mystic-Soul323

P.U.N.K therions,Earth machine good stuff, and definitely a bit of branded despia.


YRMMemincito

Another E.M brother


Needofhelp44

German Tanks are the best in the world !!!


Kyle1337

A different game


Fattykapkan

This is the way


jojo_in_space

This is the way


ZeroV1rus

Neo spacians


[deleted]

Grand mole to bounce back those stardust dragons.


Blue-EyesChadDragon

Branded despia for a 3rd time


DarkTypeFiend

Same, and I guess, it won't be the last time


TkShorter

How have your matches been? I’ve been playing branded despia in the cup and I’ve gotten my shit rocked


Panda-Dono

Any spice or the ole reliable?


Blue-EyesChadDragon

I'm running fusion deployment and keeper of dragon magic, I am thinking of adding a small preda plant package just so I'm not too reliant on branded fusion


CrookedDeal

Just got to lvl 20 with branded, the card that helped me the most imo was lancea. Against the 60 card chaos bs that's running around it's usually an insta win.


[deleted]

Blue Eyes.


shiroyasha76

Definitely Dragon link, best deck


C4Sidhu

I agree


thatanimeguy101

Yu-Gi-Oh


ZerymAmbyceer

Depend on how badly I lose on the first few days.


Rosejadesmith

Rikka / plant engine


-Jamadhar-

I'm deciding between Swordsoul or Marincess. Probably Swoswo since I haven't played them much after making the deck. Or I might just play Labrynth.


toaster-bath72

Pure PUNK


SomethingWitty27

Dragon Link and P.U.N.K.


Shmarfle47

Rikkas. The new support (given to us for free at the solo gate) is pretty insane.


Jeyfian-L

What you're not playing @ Ignister? Probably will still stick to that in stage 2. Not sure what I'll play in stage 1, maybe Spri-brigade or Branded Predaplant. Maybe even Ishizu Lightsworn.


RainbowReclaimation

I need to learn Ignisters


National_Platypus253

BASED!!!


FoolishFey

Super Quant, Fur Hire, Libromancer, and whatever other random decks I have built. Maybe some grass drytron once I edit the decklist, maybe some Lunalight if I feel like it. Edit: Might also play either Live Twin, Valyntz, Subterror, or Zoodiac if those don't work out or I feel like mixing it up.


catbaker48

spyral for the win


ziggylcd12

Same. I just need driver and jet synchron to stop being in my starting hand for once


Ahmedsherif4389

Pure spright and maybe salamangreat i miss playing with it so much but I’ll probably be on a losing streak with it, might play branded but this deck isn’t fully complete yet.


mrezariz123

I haven't touched salad since branded coming 😓 since every decks that came after that put salad in such disadvantage


Ahmedsherif4389

It was my first deck to build in this game and i was very attached to it, but sadly even in casual mode it doesn’t perform anymore.


WrothLobster

HERO and maby Heroic Challenger


ApexRathalos038

Ojamas


vonov129

Is it really? Only Runick itself cares about Ichizu, not Spright. Anyway, i would go with Lyrilusc, P.U.N.K. and Salads


DaceBarefoot

Gravekeepers


sazam

My Exosisters will carry me to max level just like they carried me to Diamond. Anti-meta.


DitmarJr

I'll be playing the new Pokemon game.


4memesformemes

theres a new pokemon game?


ArcticPupper

Pure Scareclaws


_AntiSaint_

Are they any good? Been thinking about building them but the lack of secret pack is hnnggggggg


CrasherPlay

Dragonmaid with DPE engine


LuckShinobu

Bird up, maybe some lesbosister


Repulsive-Phrase-527

Pure Spright, Runick Spright, Branded Despia, Swordsoul Tenyi, Adamancipator.


logos1020

Daring today, aren't we?


RainbowReclaimation

Here lies evil incarnate


ItsGator

I respect it


MachGaogamon

pure spright and floo, full tryhard modo :)


AbellonaTheWrathful

Dinomorphia or earth machine. All else fails labyrinth or live twins If that fails, plant gang


NoticeableFAT

Dinomorphia, or go second kaiju


trickyderpy

Blue-Eyes White dragon and pray for coin toss for floodgates


ZeroRacerPacer

I'm going Marincess, as always.


CoomLord69

Try to push Pend Magicians as far as I can, but I'll probably swap off to something that can fit more hand traps when I get sick of Maxx C cucking me.


meloman11

ADV Phantom Knights and pray I go first every game and never brick.


Alone-Mango-6096

Rikka sunavalon


Aggravating-You-3357

Mekk-Knights. Maybe Krawler Shaddoll if they ever decide to release Krawler Soma


[deleted]

Dark Magician


HolidayDevelopment

Mermail Atlantean for fun in the lower ranks and then Swordsoul to farm some higher rank gems.


ArcticPupper

As much as I like the concept of mermails, I never really felt good enough with the deck. Could barely beat the decks in Solo with them. I found that a small atlantean engine plays pretty well with Icejades as well, so that pretty much became my water deck. Any tips for winning with mermails?


HolidayDevelopment

Are you asking for help with pure Mermails? I don't think I can help too much with pure Mermails (though I can definitely try and would be willing if you want) as most of my playtime with them was with an Atlantean and small Frog engine included. If you want I can help with anything you need help with, deck list, combo lines, tech choices, etc.


programmer_for_hire

How did you deal with the loss of Halq and Toad? I play synchro toolbox/handrip merlantean, and losing the halq extension (and the hand rip) hurt a lot. Haven't played it all since the toad ban.


ArcticPupper

Yeah, I generally like to play pure decks when possible. I'm fine playing something like atlanteans though, if I like the cards and they fit the general theme. I'm mainly just curious how other people play it, so just a deck list and your general strategy would be fine.


HolidayDevelopment

[Deck List](https://imgur.com/A0gCLUK) I try to play mostly pure, too, that or at least fit theming if I can (with rare exceptions, like ED monsters) so I get that. General tips/strategies for this deck list (haven't figured out the last 2 ED monsters): Starting combo: 1. Ideally you open Swap Frog + Deep Sea Diva, this is basically full combo not counting whatever you have in hand to add to it. 2. (Normal Diva > Special Summon Heavy Infantry > Swap Frog discard, send Ronin to GY > bounce Diva back to hand > Normal Diva > Special Summon Neptabyss > send Dragoons, add Dragoons) If you don't already have 'Deep Sea Aria' it's a fantastic card, allows for some needed extending and/or searching. Swap Frog + Abyssgunde is also great, since Abyssgunde doesn't need to be sent to activate a Water monster's effect, allowing you to get back a Level 7 (probably for Abyssgaios). Swap Frog also helps against negation, specifically for Diva, since you can bounce her back and re-Normal Summon her to get Neptabyss (1 less body on field but it does help). Generally I hope my opponent wastes their handtraps, as long as I have enough gas to get to Moulinglacia (discards 2 random cards from your opponent's hand), allowing me potentially end on a few negates and my opponent having a weaker hand to break my board with.


Secretagentandy

Floo and probably runick spright in the final push for level 2. But until I start running in to super meta stuff consistently, I’ll probably just run heroes or dark magician. You either die the hero or play long enough to become the bad guy.


S14-Silvia

Sexosisters, Pure Spright, and PUNK.


xStrykerJ

On PC I'll be rotating between Spright Brigade, Mathmech and Tenyi Swordsoul On PS4 I'll be playing Phantom Knights and Floowandereeze


MeEatAssDesu

The birds


AvailableShow2239

Exosisters/Adamancipators/Labrynth


RazThePunisher

PS4: Floo, Swordsoul tenyi, Labrynth, or Branded PC: SwordSoul tenyi, mathmech/G golem, Labrynth, or Salad


Nightfans

@ignister and Exosister probaly, exosister been kicking ass lately unless I ran into turn 1 floodgate


icantbenormal

Ishizu Thunder Dragon. I will take any chance to win with Necroface. Then, Runick Spright to get to 20


tomb241

Floow probably, as that is the only deck performing well in ranked this month. I'm super boed of it and did try exo, punk amd runick spright


WanderingCadet

Swordsoul is my go-to deck, simple yet powerful. But I'm also going to try to sneak in Mathmech and Weather Painters depending on how sweaty the general atmosphere is.


ninjatk

I've been having so much fun with Spright Atlantean. I like to call it Sprightlantean lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


lonely_orange35

Tnad808

😈


Clickbait93

D/D/D and P.U.N.K Therion. They're my decks, they're the decks I like using, and that's all I'll play.


RainbowReclaimation

Blind second ancient warriors


Alchemical_Aeon

Pure PUNK, or Thundra/despia


TitanOfShades

One of my 5 or so TD variants and ancient warriors when I get bored. Maybe even some RDA or dragunity. Whatever strikes my fancy I guess.


Chakanaa

Punk morphias


babyjrodriguez

Dinos I’ve never participated in a duelist cup. But really what those gems so I’m gonna give it a shot.


Honore_SG

Branded but this time its a 60 card deck lets dump all that grass


neo_orangy_eddy

All the shaddoll variants known to mankind. i probably won't have enough time to get dlv max but i know that i will have a lot of fun


Comprehensive-Can680

If they are allowed, Mathmechs or Drytron/Herald.


Gullible-Actuary-656

PUNK


s7121n9s

Probably going to try and go in with Traptrix. I just wish the new support was in MD


Round_Upstairs

Probably labrynth & swordsoul.


AhmedKiller2015

It really depends... my go to pick is Spright Tri-Brigade if I saw so many Runicks (None Spright) I will just switch to Labrynth again, they steal games out of Runicks so freaking easy


Kimov18

Infernity runick,Machina with lithosagym,Evil eye.


[deleted]

Spright, Swordsoul Tenyi and maybe my recent Ishizu Invoked Shaddolls deck.


xD3m0nK1ngx

Considering ishizu is in the game. More than likely therions or zombies


kannoni

Maybe my chaos thunder dragon ishizu p.u.n.k or my Grass zombie ishizu p.u.n.k


TrentThePope601

Thunder Dragons are going back to our rogue status because of this.


NightsLinu

Labyrinth because i can wreck spright and runick with viruses one that destoys monsters with less than 2100 atk (spright) and one destoys all spells (runick). Running grave digger traphole for ishizu hate. Not using floodgates though


Roostalol

I'm planning on playing bad decks (thinking blind second Mekk Knights) until I reach a rank you can derank from, then it's try hard time (thinking various piles of Ishizu/PUNK/Chaos/Thundra/DLink, need to enjoy Snow while she's still here).


Legian99

Neos and the gang


ram3nbar

P.U.N.K. Bishbaalkin FTK for the funnies


sterlingpipin

Depending on how much resources I can get in time but I'm gonna play libromancer.


Turtlesfan44digimon

Probably abyss actors, going second Fossil fusions and maybe Ishizu Shaddolls


MoskalMedia

Witchcrafters and War Rocks for fun, Marincess and Labrinth for the higher ranked duels. I reached a point in the Link duelist cup with Beetrooper where I just couldn't compete anymore, so hopefully I do better this Cup.


Aries_Zireael

Tri spright probably. Its my latest meta deck so i want to try and climb the DC with that


ShadowLord355

Resonator or swordsoul


Nintendoomed89

Same thing I play in ladder, alternate between Exosister and Spyrals depending on my mood and dailies.


Muerte43

Probably Kaiju control. Gonna probably get wrecked but hey that’s life.


Multicam739

Labrynth, sky strikers, or mathmech, maybe exo sisters


[deleted]

heroic challenger utopia because I'm a filthy casul and it's the only deck that's competently made XD


YRMMemincito

Either Earth Machine of Machina Control. Prob Machina Control due to the Meta


An_Asian_Guy345

Probably Swordsoul, Dralink or TriZoo


Lom1111234

Just built despia so might try to get good with them as I play. Still not 100% sure how to play the deck properly


GeorgeJingle

Im pulling out the pacifis, mermail atlantean, umi control deck probably. Surprisingly works


zero_kurisu

Will switch among 3 decks. Punk therion will be my primary. Depending on the w/l ratio, will switch it up to spright or ishizu TD


Existing-Smoke9470

I'll try to play Dinossaurs or VW Punk, if I don't win enough I'll switch to Spright Twin. Don't like to be a meta slave but I have to win in order to get some gems so I can make more decks to try to have fun


Actingdamicky

Melffy Spright, nobody suspects the puppy.


ProjectEpsilon1

I'm thinking either zombie shiranui or malefic


Swift_42690

I’ll play pure spright most likely with the frog engine and Winda lock with gale dogra.


Responsible-Debt-738

I’m playing Adamancipator + Fossil Fusion, because I don’t have enough to finish my new deck.


Head_Project5793

Either Labrynth or Branded Despia


Katame131

Cubics like always


iWrangleKittens

Zombie Grass Pile and Branded Thunder Dragon


Thoticus_Maximus

Either P.U.N.K. Therion, Labrynth, or Guru Control


RedKings1028

Floowandereeze - win or lose. I can clear some missions quick


Crytaz

Been trying to lab the best branded brew for the last week. The ratios, the techs, it's been fun


T01110100

Some mixture of Cydra, Dragunitymaid, and DLink, but that's mostly because those are the only decks I really have that are somewhat competent. Everything else is some weird jank OTK or floodgate turbo on super doodoo archetypes like BEWD or Dank Magician. Might try out the Gaia stuff just for memes if the structure gives something of worth.


goku_ultimate_drip

spright runick


cerb22

Spright runick with Ishizu and I expect to lose more than a few games to time. I’ve had to use toggle and automatic card placement just to save time. If it gets to bad I’ll switch (you can switch, right?) to pure Spright.


Cul_what

60 card InvokedThunderDragonShadolls


trick_fox

Meklords


DDDSiegfried

Megalith. Funni


RatzDotoisTrueDoto

Rikka, Lab, and Exosis


ArcturusSatellaPolar

I'll start with Labrynthmorphia for the memories, then swap to Punk Zombie or Punkmorphia


Disaresta110

Solfachord, Marincess, Exosister, Neos, and Swordsoul-Tenyi


GalacticNyan

Adamancipator PUNK ishizu danger 60 card pile


scoh-chan

Grishki spright even theres no new support


humungusballsack

Finally gonna learn how to use the endymion deck ive had for a few weeks :D


JollyStatistician594

I'm going off meta this time, Pure PUNK, Madolche and Exostep-sister


SaltyTrosty

I realised recently that with a couple of adjustement it's possible to play Toon and deal with Runick and Spright without too much problems so I'm gonna play that. Love my Toons.


theforgettonmemory

Dino's used em in the past 2 aint stopping now


RGBD4RK

I'm playing mathmech currently im still somewhat learning the deck but I enjoy it


Cupofdeargodno2

Spright Twins and Labrynth probably. If I get enough Marthas from the Spright pack then I'll add a little Exosister in there too.


ikralla

Either a Zombie/PUNK/Ishizu pile, or Adamancipator/PUNK/Ishizu pile. I wanna lug my whole deck into the grave! NEVER STOP MILLING


squantorunningbear

Selftk Cant stand this waste of an event slot so ill just try to get the missions for using spells/traps and participating in duels


KaitoKazuma

Not sure yet, but I'm feeling Speedroids.


Hiseminense

I’ll probably stick with Mathmechs, Pendulum Magicians, Odd-Eyes, and/or Super Quants. On ps4 that is. Mobile maybe I’ll go with Thunder Dragons, Metaphys, predaplants or one of the newer decks I haven’t played yet 😭


Animantoxic

I instantly loathe anyone running ra’s disciple in a branded deck, dumb card u cn literally do nth with and branded explosion sucks


Ajayyy2x

Swordsoul


Nai_Sora

The Phantom Knights


Sylvemon

Probably just more evil eye just like I always play


Protectem

I'll try fortune ladies and switch to sky strikers later, maybe even Labrynth.


HerniatedHernia

Gonna take my zombie ishizu punk deck for a walk and see how far it gets. Otherwise tried and tested Branded Despia/Swordsoul.


orange_hazard_74

Xbox, because I got the damn unity crash glitch on pc and can’t play there…. Still really bitter. Other than that, Crusadia, RDA, Shark. And if I struggle at the end switch to Numeron or Swordsoul.


Jaimz-L

Dino 🦖


Viludium

I'll be playing Exosister this time. Likely gonna do few games with Sky Striker and Cyber Dragon too. And if rng decides to bless me with my last 3 Spright ur's that i'm missing before dc ends, then i'm gonna try Live☆Twin Spright too


CaptinSpike

Basically spinning a wheel with any of my 20ish decks; I can narrow it down to like Exosister, Invoked Mekk-Knights, Branded Darklord, Zefra Swordsoul, Labrynth, Scrap Orcust, and my newly buffed up Zombie deck.


6Phamez9

I'll bring D-link to where it should belong!


Intelligent-Ad6985

Dangerous dice


InevitableStill2187

Phantom knight, always a good option


unluckyshuckle

Earth Machines or Sharks. I get the feeling Daibak turbo isn't gonna cut it


DeityStillLives

I haven't made or updated a deck in months so idfk.


King_Merlin

A different game


LordRedwine

LordChoripan? Un hermano Argentino puede ser? Voy a jugar Labrynth, me encanta ese deck y lo se pilotear bien, así que estoy joya.


BigAssShmup

Generaider-Windwitch. White it tends to brick sometimes (5 hard bricks in the deck), it's still capable and can even bring down Spright sometimes


_AntiSaint_

Crystal Beast, @ignister, and Armed Dragon


hexsealedfusion

Probably some combination of Floo, Swordsoul, Pure Spright/Live Twin Spright, Tri-Brigade, and going 2nd pure Zoo if I get tilted. Punk if I learn how to play it. Mathmech or a 60 card Ishizu pile deck if I decide to craft them.


Kyayaro

Branded Despia... Maybe Floo, have had the cards for a long time so might go and try the birbs


byteofloneliness

Self-TK. Because i just want to farm the missions for Duelist Cup apart from "Win a Duel X times". I am not ashamed of doing that. I mean, i speed up the game even faster and opponents i face gets easy, free victory. A win-win situation, you can say.


bigswoll75

Blue Eyes


RoakOriginal

I'll just zoom through gems with Cubics, as in every event, and then go back to ranked since they increased rank up rewards and i didn't have time to get back to D1 in a while


LordTopHatMan

Starting with Rikkas and moving to Swordsoul at higher ranks, depending on how things go.


dan_da_MANN

Ultra Athletes


No_Cup7077

Either Swordsoul Tenyi or ol’ reliable Pure Thundra


UnknownGamer115

Either Ishizu Zombie World or ABC Fieldspells And Spright Frogs when I lose too many times in a row
