I just posted about heading to my first 'real' event after not playing for 6 (possibly 7)+ years.

I love the Karakuri Archetype. The artwork, their niche abilities to banish and draw cards etc.

This is my current set up, I will say it was very consistent, rounds went on for 10-15 minutes, multiple turns with battle damage going both ways.

I want to really push the Archetype to make it 'better'.

I don't want to start adding huge engines like trains, more cards I may have forgotten about or a few cards I could add or remove?

I know this is in no way competitive by the way, I don't care about winning, if anything it's funny seeing people double take when I normal summon Ninishi 🤣

I've only just started playing Yu-Gi-Oh competitively. I only ever played casually with friends 8 years ago without handtraps etc.

Attended my first large event for the release of Beyond the Brave yesterday, where they had a few hours of Genesys.

My deck of choice?

Karakuri.

Genesys was honestly so much fun, I know people hate it but despite using Karakuris some of my matches lasted 30+ minutes, multiple turns, battle damage going both ways.

I played a total of 3 opponents, I only won a single duel out of 7 duels but that one win felt like I'd won the entire tournament.

I managed to play Magnet Force in every game which threw people off.

This turn, all monsters on the field whose original Types are Machine or Rock, are unaffected by your opponent's monster effects (except their own).

Proper Yugi anime moment when playing against Elfnote, Blitz and Invoked.

Won the raffle for my first ever playmat and on top of that, managed to pull a secret bandit, trade for the secret Ashtra and pulled together a playset of the other Super/Common Ashtra cards to try out.

Also pulled another Secret Rare Bandit today when playing sealed, coming second place! The guys I was playing with also pulled the starlight overframe red eyes.
