@@LordBeau even in games where Maxx C isn’t a factor it’s not that good. There’s just other better decks out there. Trust me I tried to make them work.
"i feel like it wasn't the deck that won, but the non-engine" Well that kinda sums up the entire format really. Being able to play a lot of non-engine is what makes a deck good nowadays.
Yeah that's a lot of decks these days who's entire going second gameplan is "use non engine to stop my opponent on turn 1, so I can do my turn 1 combo on turn 2"
The reason he still called the deck only okay even after its performance was because he noticed how much the non-engine carried his wins. Other decks can make the same boards easier as well.
It really is unfortunate that cards like the Rulers are stuck on the banlist for so long that the formats where they would be good without being game-breaking or disruptive have long gone. And I doubt adding more Rulers to the pool will make a meaningful difference, considering their own effect restriction.
Did you know that the Dragon Rulers can be splashed into Kashtira? Not only is there level 7 synergy, there's also attribute synergy. Fenrir is Earth fodder for Redox, Ogre is Water fodder for Tidal, Risehart (and detached Shangri-Ira) is Fire fodder for Blaster, Unicorn is Wind fodder for Tempest

There’s some pretty solid utility but when you think about it that’s all they kind of are. A pretty solid toolbox to get where you need to go that if the opponent has the right interruption then you’re doomed. Then again with enough interruption any deck would be stopped in their track. Still seems pretty fun though.
in order to fix dragon rulers being underwhelming i think they should print light and dark dragon rulers that help patch up some of their weaknesses im sure nothing could possibly go wrong doing that :)))))))))
Literally full power on MD. It just costs way too many URs or I would've messed around with them. Just missing Super Rejuvination but that hopefully stays the case.
YEAAAAAHHH I've been running the Armed Dragon/Dragon Ruler stuff since they unbanned the deck. They also work surprisingly well with Kashtira cards I learned

Ive been playing dragon ruler in master duel... before the RDA stuff arrived it was so fun drawing 5 cards during my endphase thanks to super rejuvenation
The problem isn’t the dragon rulers it’s the fact that modern yugioh is bunz 🗑. It’s a completely different card game then when it was back then especially in 2014
New series idea: do a tournament of the competing builds for an archetype to determine what's best. This is one that could use it, there are a million flavors of armed dragon/kashtira/dragon ruler/rose dragon/rank 7 combo decks.
I’d be curious to see what Dragonmaid could do with the Rulers. Although Dragonmaid sucks, it feels a bit like those cards were designed with the Rulers in mind.
Lets see if in the new banlist(Which I hope is in a way or less), we get to see the water dragon ruler getting limited to experience some more variety in decks in the format
I tried to make them work in MD, but they have just been power crept, they do practically nothing in the modern game and people need to realize that. Maxx c isn't as big of a deal as most people think, well it is, but it affects the playability of dragon ruler's just as much as any other deck, not very much. Not to mention that master duel has tomahawk. I know everyone has tons of memories from when the dragon ruler's were an unstoppable meta threat that would break the game at full power. It's not like that, it hasn't been for a long time now
I've been playing them with Horus engine cause matching attributes are cute and you can otk going second very easy and all your cards are very good with the new Horus being a free send to no targeting send a card opponents control and be replaced with new field spell
I've been working on a water dragon cluster deck for like the past week, specifically for the fireking and snakeyes. Ive tried labrynth with rollback and bonding-dho to summon water dragon cluster. Ive tried pure water dragon with trade-in and sacred sword of seven stars with a small dino pack. Kairyu-shin & water dragons, but i think the most consistent so far has been water dragon/icejade. Mermails are good too. The bonding/chemical archetype needs support so badly. 😅 I'd appreciate any help if anyone more well-versed in ice jade than i am could help me out. I know theres better anti-pyro/fire decks, but water dragon and water dragon clusters effects are really good

It's not great but it does stuff lol
you also just can't compare master duel format to TCG due to the existence of Maxx "C"
it is a different format so it's technically possible they do something in the tcg not likely but still possible.

facts, the deck looked crazy in this video
Yes he even defeated the best deck in the format
@@luismiguel7256 yeah but that happens a lot. He beat kash with Gold pride in that tmt but lets be real
The reason he still called the deck only okay even after its performance was because he noticed how much the non-engine carried his wins.
Other decks can make the same boards easier as well.
@@dracomeister7684 he also drew pretty well every game. No way it consistently draws like that
As an Odd-Eyes player, I adore the fact that the Rebellion Overlord option was included, it's always so hilarious turning to level 7s into 9k damage

0:09 If the OCG is an indication, Tidal will come back to TCG soon
0:55 how much the deck changed in 11 years
Did you know that the Dragon Rulers can be splashed into Kashtira? Not only is there level 7 synergy, there's also attribute synergy. Fenrir is Earth fodder for Redox, Ogre is Water fodder for Tidal, Risehart (and detached Shangri-Ira) is Fire fodder for Blaster, Unicorn is Wind fodder for Tempest
i would be VERY interested to see a kashtira dragon ruler list
Its more of the opposite. Kashtira being an engine in dragon rulers
You can probably jam some fenrirs for extension but other than that it just sounds like a crappier version of both kash and ruler
This sounds a lot better in master duel with Ariseheart still legal. Imagine detaching and reattaching Rulers for searches every turn.
I tried it with tempest before the second wave of Kash support just because it was a seven and I was using some random red-eyes cards and it worked ok
