Hey people,

I will be at my first regional in a few weeks.

I use for my extra deck konami sleeves and for my main and side deck dragonshield ones.

The konami sleeves are looking cool but are very poor quality. Thatsy why I tought, I will just oversleeve them with transparent dragonshield. But someone at my locals told me, that I would have to oversleeve the main deck too than.

Is this true? Cant I just oversleeve my extra deck with transparent ones?

Moin Leute,

wollte euch nach eurer Meinung und Erfahrung fragen. Kurz:

Ich änderte Vorgestern mein Paypal PW. Soweit so gut. Habe dann aber erst gestern Abend eine Mail bekommen von paypal ala "ihr PW wurde geändert - waren sie das wirklich".

Da hier ca 24 Stunden zwischen waren, habe ich mich auf einem anderen Rechner erneut eingeloggt und alles funktionierte, auch keine Daten wurden geändert - nochmal PW gewechselt. Was ich daran so bedenklich finde: Diese Mail soll ja eine Sicherheit darstellen wenn man wirklich gehackt wird. Wie viel Sinn macht es bzw. wie kann es sein, dass diese 24 Stunden zu spät versandt wird?

Habt ihr hier ähnliche Erfahrungen?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a new deck box because I’m annoyed that my side deck is only separated from my main deck by a small plastic divider in my current one.

I’ve been searching for a box with extra space specifically for the side deck, but I haven’t found anything suitable, except for Magic -themed options, which are way too big for around 80 cards (main, side, and extra deck).

Do you have any recommendations for this kind of deck box?

Hey guys I had my first locals with the deck in the screenshot.

It could have been 3-1 if I hadnt make a huge mistake in round 3, so overall, Im okay with it.

But I often struggle to find the right balance for the endboard.

So any tips for ratios or cards I should use (please beside expensive ones, like harmonya - I know 3 of would be great but its to expensive).

Thank!

So I work on a clown crew deck with ROLAD - it is pretty good but I know, that azamina or branded versions are better (but so expensive :/) soooo I stumbeld across the card in title which will have no drawbacks because the extradeck cards will have no effect to use on field (clown crew cards).

My Question is - can this be a good tech for the deck or it is only in theorie good? Getting 5 bodys on the field is relativly easy as clowncrew/rolad but is there any drawback I have oversee?

Hi everyone,

I played a few remote matches on a Discord server yesterday with about 4–5 people, and something really stood out to me. Are Yu-Gi-Oh! players just like this, or why are there so many people who seem to hate the game?

I was playing ROLAD with Clown Crew, my first semi-meta deck, and I kept hearing from everyone how unfair ROLAD is and how terrible the new set is.

Meanwhile, on YouTube and other platforms, people were praising the set, and personally I think it introduced some really cool new cards (Blitzqlieque, the new Sacred Beast support, etc.). But on Discord, everyone seemed to agree that they either wouldn't go to locals anymore or would just play Stun because they're "being forced to." At the same time, they were saying the Ryzeal/Maliss meta was so much better.

Honestly, it felt like I was talking to my grandpa, the whole "everything was better back in the day" kind of attitude.

I was actually a bit disappointed because I really like the new set and the ROLAD cards. I also happened to pull almost exclusively ROLAD cards from two boxes, so I was pretty happy about that. Hearing such overwhelmingly negative feedback was honestly kind of discouraging.

Oh, and the biggest criticism was that you supposedly can't interact with ROLAD because everything is basically a Tower.... Where I was like "this is not true and the deck has a few spots to brutally interrupt" but no, for them it is game breaking....

Maybe Im in the wrong and dont see the potential for a very bad format but in my opinion the true problems a card like spell canceler.

Moin Zusammen,

glaube mein "Problem" welches ein absolutes Luxusproblem ist, ist hier genau richtig.

Kurz zu mir - bin mitte 30 und 100 % Remote in einer Softwarefirma tätig wo ich im Support für die entsprechende Software tätig bin. Der Support besteht aus Linux-Bedienung und Recherche in Logs, Update der Hauseigenen Software bei Kunden sowie Datenbank-Analysen/Bearbeitung wenn es mal ganz tief im Getriebe hakt - das fasst es gut zusammen. Ist also kein "Rechner mal neugestartet" Support, da hängen teils Rechnungsmanagement ganzer Großbetriebe dran.

Ich mache das nun seit über 5 Jahren und fand es anfangs auch super, weil ich eigentlich mich sehr für IT interessiere jedoch nur eine kaufmännische Ausbildung habe und endlich meinen Fuß reinkriegen wollte. Heute merke ich jedoch, dass ich hier in gewisser weise mich nicht weiter entwickeln kann.

Ich würde gerne nicht mehr Support machen, sondern Inhouse Administration, oder einen Mix aus kaufmännischen Themen + IT.

Noch ein Problem - ich bin ehrlich: Ich bin Faul wie sonst was. Ich springe nur so hoch wie ich muss. Dadurch bin ich dennoch in 5 Jahren vom Junior zum Senior aufgestiegen (weirder flex) aber wie gesagt, nur mit dem Einsatz den ich bereit bin zu leisten.

Meine Frage ist also am ehesten: Gibt es Stellen in der Wirtschaft, die für einen IT "ungelernten" mit kaufmännischen Einschlägen und nun vorhandener Erfahrung ideal wären? Ohne 60 Stunden klopperei als Key Account Manager? Oder MUSS hier schlicht nochmal ein Fernstudium etc. ran, wenn ich wirklich nochmal was anderes machen will?

Sorry für den wirren Text - jedoch kommt hier gut heraus wie unentschlossen und ohne Vision ich gerade bin.

Titel - I read not good things about secret beast and neither did I about Invoked, the both more budget friendly "new" decks in the new set.

What is your Opinion about it? In my testing online with sacred beast I got the feeling, that they are crumble very fast against more than 1-2 pushes going first. But maybe I had a bad deck or skill issue.

I'm fairly new to the game, so sorry if this is common knowledge:

I pre-ordered 3 boxes of Chaos Origins, but I realized today (yeah, maybe it would have been smarter to learn about this before :D) that there are certain card ratios in Yu-Gi-Oh! boxes. If my intel is correct, there are only 2 Secret Rares guaranteed per box.

Because I want to build the new Ritual deck and maybe Sacred Beasts too, I came to the conclusion that it would be smarter to buy one less box and get the rest as singles. There is no way I will pull the specific Secret Rare I need three times out of three boxes.

Is my take correct, or is there more I should know about it?

How do we play it in TCG when we dont have the thunder spell card (Lightning Crash). Is there any other generic searcher as good as this for the deck?

Hello everyone,

As the title suggests: have you ever had opponents who don't actually seem to want to play Yu-Gi-Oh, but rather just want to play Solitaire (and no I dont mean combo-stuff :D) ?

Some background: last week I attended locals in a different town. I was playing pure Clown Crew (without Harmonia or Spark), and my opponent was on Sky Striker. At the beginning of the match, I told him that I've only been playing paper Yu-Gi-Oh for about 4–5 weeks and that I might need to ask about some Sky Striker card effects from time to time.

I won Game 1 because I had a strong opening hand, got to go first, and, without trying to sound arrogant, played pretty well. Throughout the entire first game, however, I proactively explained the effects of my own cards, including effects that I technically didn't have to explain. On two or three occasions, this led to my opponent wanting to take back actions he had already committed to. I allowed it because I wanted to keep things relaxed and figured he was probably still learning the deck and/or dont know anything about mine.

I also ended up winning Game 2. During that game, I spent about five minutes explaining the passive effect of Clown Crew Meteor. That in itself wasn't a problem. What became frustrating was that my opponent either couldn't understand or simply wouldn't accept the explanation during the first three attempts.

Again, throughout the game, I allowed him two or three times to take back activated cards or undo actions. I also had to repeatedly explain the effect of Clown Crew Flair, specifically that I could set one of his monsters face-down on the field, after I used flair as a tribute (his Raye). Eventually he understood and finally chained Raye's Quick Effect in response.

The game ultimately went to me because he never asked what the passive effect of my Clown Fusion monster on the field did. Because of that, I was able to attack his Rose in Defense Position with Biancavisco and deal enough damage to remove his remaining 2000 Life Points. This time I just refused to explain proactive, why I summoned this monster alongside biancavisco because in the end I also want to win.

After that, he completely lost his temper. He started talking about how unfair my deck was, how terrible it was, and so on (with a bit cursing).

I was honestly pretty baffled by the reaction. It left me with the impression that some players only want to play their own game and don't really want to interact with their opponent at all, let alone take the time to read and understand new cards or unfamiliar effects.

Has anyone else had experiences like this?

Hello everyone,

I recently bought the following sleeves from Cardmarket: Dragon Shield Sleeves – Matte Blood Red, and for inner sleeves I got KMC Perfect Size Sleeves.

Both orders have arrived, but unfortunately the cards still have quite a bit of room inside the KMC inner sleeves, so I think I may have ordered the wrong size.

I did some research afterwards, but I can hardly find any well-reviewed inner sleeves for Yu-Gi-Oh! cards on Amazon and other sites.

Could you recommend some good inner sleeves that fit Yu-Gi-Oh! cards properly and also work well with Dragon Shield outer sleeves? Ideally, they should be available to order within Europe.

Thanks a lot for your help!

I want to preorder the coming chaos origin set (yu go oh) but I’m unsure if it will arrive at the release 02.07 or if I will be feel bad and still have to wait to like 7/8 July because they will only start shipping after the release date.

So do youhave experience with preorder at cardmarket?

Hey guys,

I’m still relatively new to the game and currently playing the Mitsurugi deck from the Structure Deck. The thing is, I already played this deck a ton in Master Duel when it first came out, so I’m not super excited about playing it again in the TCG.

I’m generally not a fan of heavy combo decks, and I’d also prefer something that isn’t too expensive. I know “budget” is relative, but I’d rather not spend more than around €100 just for the deck core.

Do you guys have any recommendations for decks I could look into now or in the future? For example, I really like the new Witchcrafter support cards, and some of the upcoming Chaos Origins cards also seem really cool.

In general, I enjoy decks that control the pace of the game and don’t rely on 10-minute combo turns.

Thanks a lot!

Maybe stupid question but: How does the effect apply? For example:

I tribute summon on opponents turn - Meteor is on the field - and I tribut sommoned as response to a summon effect of my enemy (Faimiena for example, clown crew has a few ways to tribute summon on opponents turn) - does this mean now my opponent cant activate the trigger effect of his new summoned monster because meteor says

"Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects when you Tribute Summon a monster."

Hello everyone,

I just had my first locals, actually, my first live tournament ever. A little about me: I’m a pretty laid-back guy in my mid-30s and I’ve been playing Master Duel only for the past two years. I thought, “Man, playing in real life has to be pretty cool too,” so I grabbed the Mitsu Structure Deck and went for it.

And what can I say, it was a weird experience. First of all, playing in real life is way more exhausting, all the searching through the deck, keeping track of effects yourself, and making sure you don’t miss anything. But it was fun too.

Now comes the weird part: I’m a fairly social person. I’m not exactly the center of attention at a party, but I do join conversations and enjoy talking to people, if I like the topic. I was very upfront from the beginning and told everyone that it was my first tournament and all that.

The thing is, nobody there really seemed interested , or at least not in talking to me. Including me, there were 9 people, and I quickly realized that the other 8 had known each other for a long time and apparently play together every week. Well, as the “new guy,” you’re naturally a bit of an outsider at first. Well, here, more than just a bit. Nobody really wanted to talk to me beyond the current match. Some people even seemed kind of startled when I joined conversations (all Yu-Gi-Oh related). Even simple questions like “Have you guys been meeting here for a long time?” got very short, one-word answers.

To be fair, no one was rude or anything like that.

I guess what I’m trying to ask is: can experiences like this happen at TCG locals? Is it kind of cliquey and difficult to fit in at first, like in some other hobbies?

Because honestly, on one hand I did have fun, but on the other hand the experience was pretty mediocre. I wasn’t even looking to “make friends” or anything, but I thought the social aspect would be a bit more enjoyable.

EDIT: Hey guys, thanks for alle the support and nice talk...Im now motivated to go another time again and dont quit it yet :). I dont have that many hobbys so this experience was to new for me as an adult to know, how to classify it.
