Small indie company, please understand.

Even if they want to let full power Rhongo Bhongo, VFD, and Herald of Drytron go free for awhile longer you'd think they'd try to deal with obnoxious FTK garbage. They've already dealt with similar decks in the festivals.

Plat is also infested with bots running Banquet FTK. They surrender if they can't go first since there's no penalty for losing once you hit Plat.

Played against a fellow Sky Striker player yesterday. They were obviously new to the deck if not the game since they kept using card effects in a suboptimal way and had a deck of 55 cards.

The duel was still fun since I haven't used my Sky Striker deck in a while and I figured they might learn something. TOO BAD I KEEP GETTING DISCONNECTS.

I'm trying to figure out what deck I should make for the synchro event. I'm thinking of either Adamancipator or Shiranui.

Adamancipator is probably the stronger deck, but I believe you can get a significant amount of the Shiranui deck from the Solo Mode.

What the heck is this destroy monsters by battle thingy? Is that some sort of new mechanic? You'd think they'd make a bigger deal out of something that seems so incredibly difficult to do.

Got lucky when I pulled from the new Synchro pack and got Barrone, so I pulled the trigger on Speedroids. I've always wanted to toy with them. Still fun to try and figure out the lines of each deck. Granted this one certainly isn't optimal without its Link, not to mention I don't have all the big Wind Synchros, but I've been doing well beating up non-meta threats at least. Hi-Speedroid Kitedrake is a beast.

Eldlich being banned at this point feels like a meme instead of an actual attempt at balance because True Draco is allowed and Meagliths don't have Phul at 3.

Ugh, I did one of those things where I had a strategy that could have worked while taking part in the Synchro festival last night but I fucked myself cuz I activated an effect on reflex.

[up][up] Eh, even if there's problems with the actual balancing Eldlich being banned makes me happy. tongue

Always hate when I run into them, becomes a game of "Did I draw Paleozoic Dinomischus, Feather Duster, Macro Cosmos or Thunder Dragon Discharge if I'm using my Thunder Dragon deck to start with or on turn 2?" / "Do they have Skill Drain already set to counter if I try to use BLS to banish Eldlich?"

I am convinced Speedroids do not need to know how to play the deck. Just click buttons and hope you get out Crystal Wing/Barrone. Or just click enough buttons that your opponent assumes you know what you're doing and scoops even though you have no plan.

The Speedroid loaner deck is surprisingly strong, so I've just been coasting on that. Shout outs to Maliciousmagnet for letting me sync away that Blackwing player's Baronne into Clear Wing Rider. My skill is immeasurable.

I used the loaner decks for a little but switched to my Starry Knight deck. Surprisingly doing decent, though dropping a Barrier Statue certainly helps on that.

Hell, the custom Synchron deck I'm using has given me a nice number of scoops from people quitting after I go first and play Junk Speeder combos.

Yeah, last night I had a lot of people I went up against using the Speedroid deck.

Haven't been able to play the event yet but I heard it's kind of awful. You either run one of three combo decks (Virtual World, Speedroid, Junk Speeder turbo) or True Draco with all the floodgates in existence, and the person who goes first just wins. True Draco is also kind of inexpensive to build. I actually like True Draco because I'm awful and might resort to using them.

Kind of a shame since I really liked the N/R Event, even if it was a bit flawed.

I combined my usual Zombie World deck with Mayakashis and it's been the best of both worlds so far- I get to disrupt combos decks with ease, and True Dracos outright can't play the game as long as Zombie World is up.tongue

It's kind of an odd event, by nature a vast majority of Synchro archetypes Special Summon and combo a lot (Synchrons, Flower Cardians, etc.) but that also means pretty much every deck dies to either floodgates or the usual hard counters like Ash, Droll, and especially Nibiru. So more than past events you have a huge divide between people who want to play it as intended with the combo-focused Synchro archetypes and people who want to cheese with archetypes that can ignore the event's restrictions entirely; either way the player that loses is usually the one that didn't get an uninterrupted combo first.

Not to.mention some of the most powerful synchros in recent history just dropped right before the event so those who got lucky, crafted, or whaled their eay to get said cards have a clear advantage over those who dont.

I don't think there's a problem with me going full combo Speedroid, getting hit by Nibiru, and still managing to end on Barrone. Also had a fun game where Synchron gave me 20 cards off of Maxx C, so I had the easiest Droplet in the world. Somehow I've even been stomping True Draco. Skill Drain? Still got enough hand and graveyard effects to summon bug numbers and just swing in.

Liking the event so far, but it reminds me of the time the game got a bit ridiculous with summoning a bunch of monsters on one turn. I think that is slightly less nowadays even after the new master rules removed the extra deck monster limitations, but it is ironic how the monsters with a speed/turbo theme often take the longest to get out whether through chain summoning or the player trying to calculate the needed levels.

Finally done with all the rewards for the event. Destroy by battle remains a massive pain. Wasn't bad as an event, a few annoying decks to run into but I was able to actually run my more casual decks so that was much more fun then I'd had out of ranked.

I got all the gems from getting 11000 medals, now I'm working on getting 100000 damage with a burn deck.

So I'm awful.

I built my True Draco deck and have been running it with 0 losses. On a recent game I opened with Solemn Judgment, two Solemn Strike, Pot of Duality, and Card of Demise in my hand. I end on a board with those negates, a monster, Skill Drain, and some other backrow. I kind of wish my opponent had done something before surrendering.

Edit: I actually had a legit fun duel against an Endymion player. We went 11 turns and both got down to the wire in LP (me mostly from paying costs lol). Sadly couldn't save the replay because I'm capped and you can't overwrite any from the results screen.

Got all(?) the gem awards for the Festival. Outside of a couple matches with the Speedroid loaner I used nothing but True Draco and am X-0 so far.

Got all the rewards with good old Speedroids. Only lost four times in total amazingly. Virtual World when I was still learning the deck, Sacred Beasts (aka Skill Drain and two Called By), Zombies because I got a little greedy, and a single True Draco that managed to outgrind me.
