I feel like people's expectations of the format get in the way of their actual enjoyment. They expect it to fix all problems instantly, when in reality, even just being slightly better than TCG makes it worth playing.

Sometimes the ways people dismiss Genesys is just kinda frustrating to hear. Almost hypocritical. They'll insultingly call it "TCG Lite", without admitting that even just being a slightly more balanced modern is still an amazing thing.

Can you negate the effect of this card? Archworld Kristya

I am wondering if is there a way to negate the effect that stops you from Special Summoning? Or the only way would be to destroy the monster?

Labrynth (Post Update)

Firstly, very open to suggestions! Especially with the side deck, trap recs, and the SEC spread.

I have a few other builds in-mind, but this is the most straightforward (and possibly the best?) I was originally running a Dogmatika package (Punishment, N’tss, and Thunderbolt) but sending cards from ED really screwed with my SEC, so I cut it all for Changel. Could also cut Changel for a 2nd Big Welcome (or maybe a Rollback and some 1 pointers,) looking for feedback there. No surprise, SEC is INSANE (if you can resolve it). Also, Demise is even crazier. Considered siding it, but it’s just so damn strong! May side Traptantalizing if I can’t think of anything else, but not sure the draw power is SUPER necessary?

Was running Trap Trick, but between Lady, Back Jack, and Set-Up, you rarely have issues getting a specific trap and can put the points elsewhere. I’m open to other Trap suggestions - Ice Dragon feels like the next most obvious, depending on format. Considered a singleton Fiend Griefing, but I’m not sure if it’s ever impactful enough. Also - is there a consensus on Heavenly Prison vs the new Audhumla card? Both seem to have pros and cons.

I’ve had a lot of fun playtesting it so-far! Open to any feedback or suggestions :D

Dark Magician Primite

I feel like the list very heavily struck DM, but on the other hand, I didn't have any of the expensive stuff. Any advice for this DM deck?

Why shaddol beast is not better than broww?

Hey, I can’t understand why people play Broww (in non Dark World engine decks like Purrely) which is at 3 points instead of Shaddoll Beast is at 0. What would you gain by playing Broww instead of this?

A summary of the Genesys Anniversary Points Update Fully Categorized

Hey all, as a lot of you know, konami dropped the Genesys Anniversary points update yesterday which had over 300 points changes. All of them were listed in alphabetical order and were not grouped by archetypes, making it hard to digest all of the changes at once. It was hard to internalize just how much some archetypes were affected at a glance, like blitz and sacred beast, because the names for their cards were spread out alphabetically.

To solve this, my team created a fully categorized summary of all the changes sorted by archetype (generics and staples are at the end). Hopefully this helps everyone in their preparation for YCS Houston and beyond. Feel free to share this with others, and have fun labbing!

Are 100 pointers where they need to be?

By their own admission people generally found cards pointed 40 or less to be playable while 50 point was acceptable for best in role and after that if you gravitated to playing more than 50 you jumped straight to slotting 100 point cards.

So I find it odd they pushed so many cards between 51 and 99 up to 100 or down to 40, maybe 50.

I don't know enough about the game but it seems like there should be enough of a design space to give people who like to play 100 point cards more interesting deck building choices by pointing specific cards between 88 and 97 points because they don't fulfill the power of the cards deserving of being 100 points.

What am I not understanding here?

Blind Second Mikanko

First draft on a blind second mikanko list post points list. The side deck is very rough. Have not thought too much about what a going first board looks like, but the side deck will get tailored around that once I do.

The idea for the main deck is to maximize your chance of drawing a starter + 2 breakers. When going second, this deck plays 14 starters which is slightly lower than I'd like, but the best you can do with the current point distribution.

6 kaijus is optimal to have the highest chance of opening exactly 1 kaiju. You don't mind opening a kaiju + lava golem, but ideally don't want to open multiple kaijus as they are useless when paired together. Interruped kaiju slumber is a better dark hole for this deck since it costs 0 points, synergizes with the other kaijus in your deck and leaving your opponent with a monster on board is an upside for this deck. It is a hard once per turn, but you can always use it or a spare kaiju as an ohime discard worst case. Chalice was picked in the last slot to try and deal with something like a hyper invoked aeon summoned on your turn that can bypass your monster's protection.

Advice on Gemini deck

I keep experimenting with gemini monsters and I can't seem to find a way to make the deck 'work'. I try and use a mix of the chemicritter archetype and gemini ablation support but that doesn't seem to put them out fast enough or good enough compared to other decks. I tried the double summon spell cards, gemini trap hole, and other gemini generic support cards and those bricked too hard too often. I even tried using time-tearing morganite and that kinda worked but I felt nerfed because I couldn't run hand traps or if I did half the time they were useless since I already activated the card.

I don't think I can ever get this deck to work no matter what cards I try and swap out and I think that the Genesys format wouldn't do me a favor even if I could run a card like Ultimate Offering.

Has anyone ever seen a gemini deck work or does this archetype have no hope?

How playable is onomat after the recent point listing?

I've been interested in genesys but onomat is the only deck I play in MD that doesn't use links. I was wondering if it was at all playable after the new point listing and if it is, is it relatively budget friendly? If not I'm also interested in alternative decks with similar playstyles or better pricing.

Went to my first ever tournament for Beyond The Brave playing Genesys Format.

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.

First Drytron brew post oct 5th list

First drytron decklist after the new points list. For now I have not done anything crazy yet, still playing machine rituals. I do not really think benten has many uses.

The 2 ursatrons is something I've experimented with in the past (= rank 7) but deemed it unnecessary. with a lower ceilling due to the abscence of DAD perhaps worth considering again. Same for the meteor shower, maybe i'll end up siding it instead of maindecking it.

I have been a big fan of metamorphosis both lvl1 fusions have been very impactful. the levels 7's much less impressive however.

The toon support has felt rather underwelming though the synergy with metamorph is rather cute.

Deck is 93 post list i believe so some points still left to build a sidedeck
