How is everyone playing through an established Ace + 5 set board without relying on hard-drawn mass removal?

As I understand it, the typical sky striker endboard is sky striker Ace - zero and 5 set backrow. What kind of strategies does this established board struggle against, other than hard drawn lightning storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Evenly Matched etc? Kaiju and similar cards don't seem to work very well. Surely I am missing something simple

Combo/ruling question, Murakumo vs lollipop yummy.

On my turn, murakumo with a set prayers on my opponent's field and cupsy yummy way on my field with lollipop yummy in GY.

I activate an effect to target and destroy murakumo (doesn't really matters), opponent activates chain link 2 prayers tributing murakumo, chain link 3 cupsy yummy way targeting lollipop

New chain. Chain link 1 lollipop targeting Murakumo in gy, chain link 2 Murakumo summons itself, dodging lollipop.

If that took place on his turn lollipop would successfully banish Murakumo.

Is there a way, in this scenario, during my turn to prevent my opponent from getting to activate murakumo's raigeki effect?

Banished Symphony (A modern shell for a classic card) "inferno tempest" - I have optimized this Decklist again, cause why not. (TCG 4FUN)

Hey everyone!

I am still experiementing and improving my inferno tempest build simply because I am addicted.

This deck completely flips that narrative by treating Inferno Tempest as a nuclear launch button, fueled by modern, hyper-resilient engines like Maliss, Fiendsmith, Yummy, and Sky Striker.

Instead of leaving you empty-handed, resolving Inferno Tempest banishes your entire deck's worth of Cyberse, Fiend, and Fish monsters at once. This triggers an explosive chain reaction of Maliss and engine triggers in the banish zone, letting you rebuild an unkillable board in Main Phase 2 and pump Topologic Zeroboros to well over 10,000+ ATK for an instant game-ending threat.

What makes the build click:

  • The Yummy and sky striker Engine Pipeline: Turns any 2 effect monsters, into a 4-material Saryuja Skull Dread to fix your hands and dig deep for your combo pieces, also makes the Deck more resilient to inderuptions and provides more choices into breaking boards.
  • Kikinagashi Fucho as a Pivot: Solves the deck's historic weakness of being forced to go first. Fucho completely tanks the opponent's turn via card immunity (there are outs to it, but it's good enough for a 4fun list), and on Turn 3 flips into Attack Position to act as the ultimate, uninterrupted 0-ATK crash dummy to trigger your Tempest.
  • Triple Tactics Thrust as a 3-in-1 Fixer: Functions as a dynamic puzzle piece that instantly searches whichever of your 3 golden combo conditions (The Enabler, The 3000+ ATK Wall, or the 0-ATK Crash Dummy) your hand is currently missing.

I've put together a full, detailed structural guide breaking down the step-by-step Turn 2 nuke combo, the exact engine ratios, and my Standby Phase defensive loops (including how we use Keaf, Murk of the Ghoti to completely shield our Zeroboros from Ty-Phon).

Check out the full breakdown in the link below and let me know your thoughts or optimization suggestions! Let's make legacy cheese terrifying again.

Enjoy!!

Attempt 2 at creating an inferno tempest decklist for Master Duel

Hello guys. Same concept we try to reach inferno tempest with 3 conditions 

  1. get inferno tempest in hand

  2. a low monster on our field ( <300)

  3. a high atk monster on the opponent's field ( >3000)

When inferno tempest resolves we count on Dark Necromancer to summon Gren Maju Da Eiza which with 29 or more banished monsters in our banished zone can otk through the kajiu that sits on the opponent's field (that's basically it).

Lunalight Kaleido Chick basically fully protects Gren Maju Da Eiza during its atk attempt and Dotscaper chain blocks the other 2 effects from being negated

If all effects resolve, you will have 3 bodies on field (25-3= 22) so the 2 necroface are there to fill back your banished pile (>29), because sometimes you will have more monsters stuck in hand. 

Engraver and mirror Resonator (if there is an ED on the opponent's field) both have the potential to 1 card combo into Saryuja Skull Dread (recycle effect) (Resonator call is added since Terraforming is banned in MD)

Deck is a bit bulky at 43. Since I don't play master duel I will need your help:

How often are you forced to play first with a goind second Deck? Does high wave king caesar or Desirae, stand a chance as a board if I am forced to go first?

Can you provide some masterduel specific tips, to adjust this deck, a bit more for master duel?

Inferno tempest combo line question

Post Inferno Tempest: I activate a chain of banished effects which results in me:

Summoning Maliss trio, lacrima crimson tear (with dark necromancer) , Dotscaper and maliss March hare in hand.

It results in:

Relinquished Anima => s:p little knight => Maliss Red Ransom (add field) => banish field draw 2 => link into Requiem => Lightless shadow (effect to summon Ransom) => Zeroboros => March Hare (blow up the field)

Next turn => Zeroboros + lightless shadow (with at least 1 in hand) + keaf, Murk of the Ghoti (with silent wobby banished) and lacrima crimson tear with Requiem in the gy.

I usually play under Left Arm's restriction so no set and my opponent has their established board. Dark Necromancer can summon any fiend or zombie lvl 4 or lower.

Question: Do you have suggestions of improvement in this combo I just mentioned?

Reducing the amount of banishing effects for a similar result will be welcome

Knightmare throne. Are there any good targets outside yubel and big engine starters?

Like are there any monsters that can be utilized, alone, for a specific niche scenario?
