Update: I have since recording this video been playing the Duelist Cup and saving the most interesting replays! Next video featuring the Duelist Cup will probably be some sort of compilation of some of the more interesting duels I played! Much love to all those who watch
@@marcmitchell2288 I honestly wouldn't know, I would love to learn ninjas but the deck seems so technical and big brain that I don't think I could handle it 😂
I feel you bro. There was a few times where i lost coin flip and got to play 2nd 5-6 times in a row. Like it blatantly not random at all . And everytime i need to win 1 more to lvl up, the game will gave me 2nd or facing against meta deck with multiple handtraps. Believe me , i saw the pattern where the game seems bias for meta deck to get 1st. Seriously, Konami need to scrap out the grind mechanics. Let players don't drop rank/lvl anymore if they already win in certain numbers. Cause I've truly rage about it many times in situation where i win , then lose after and win again for me to lose again, which I don't even move in the rank at all from that back and forth
I experienced a similar thing! I had been playing Kashtira the whole way and managed up to I think level 16 or so, then it got really rough and I got frustrated with Kashtiras inability to be consistent (thanks Konami) so I tried 1 duel with Ice Barrier and managed to avoid demotion. I am starting to piece together now why so many high ranked players are playing a variant of stun. I'm pretty close to putting my Floo deck back together and just trying to "Floo stun" my way up to the end xD
Man thankfully my drawing luck has been crazy in this event. A good bunch of the times my opponent got 1st and filled up their board, i just drew evenly matched/ or a kaiju that let me just uno reverse them.
Ngl as much as I love Kashtira, this event got me really feeling for a blind second deck - the inconsistency sometimes is WILD. I dont know if I would wanna go full "dark side" with stun, but could definitely consider some sort of blind second thing just to round out the last bit of the event now xD
@@LetsDuel_UA-cam I'm not so sure it will be that easy, Kashtira is a very "go first and pray you don't brick" type of deck.. but the amount of bricks and coin toss losses I'm getting is getting kinda wild xD
I've ran into the same Transaction Roll back ftk deck 4 times now. Lost every one 😢. Stupid shifter never shows up when you really need it. Had to take a break from the cup after that. Has anyone else ran into this annoying ftk deck?
I believe I have run into this deck once or twice.. though luckily not very often! mostly for me, it's been Centur-ion, Stun, Voiceless Voice, a couple of SEFK or Yubel
Yeah this DC has been extra stressful. I’ve met nothing else but either Stun or Kashtira pure. My literal first match coming in was Stun, my spirit was high so I won the match, but after every single match with those kinda decks I think I’m slowly losing both my grip with the deck I’m playing and my sanity.
@@bachouvenn3563 You got this man! Don't give up just yet! It's this meta we're in that's causing these types of decks to be so prevalent.. the amount of Voiceless Voice, Centur-Ion and Yubel I've had to face has been crazy! Luckily dodged most of Snake Eyes so far 😅
@@TriixstarHD Branded, I’d say I’ve quite mastered the deck, but I’m really pissed by the matchups, I’m so unlucky that 8/10 matches I’ve played are all stun decks
@@bachouvenn3563 ah man the deck that I had started trying to build all the way back when I first started playing 😅 Branded is still super strong, no meta decks really like playing against stun so remember it's not just you 😅
It's fun until 18 been playing Kash. Then I get cheese'd by Yubel, Horus and stuns. Whoever decided to make the last three lvls ranked should be grafted.
I love kash, but using it in duelist cup is a suicide, in my opinion it’s impossible to play a deck that can potentially lose to a imperm or a raigeki, in ranked is a good funny deck imo; in this dc I’m switching between tear and voiceless and I must say it’s going good so far, much easier than the previous dc
@@AbysmalRandomn3ss I think I get it now, sorry (been a long day) the character in the thumbnail I produced through AI, and unfortunately haven't uploaded it anywhere or anything 😅
If this game is stressful for you, and you are not looking for a stressful game, play something else, seriously. I play mostly on the events, specially when maxx c is banned. Otherwise Im just getting the daily gems and deck building. I got to Plat 1 once when it was the highest rank and it was really fun, even when the decks at the time were stuff like Drytron, Virtual World with VFD, etc., and the best part is that I only play F2P. Life can be stressful by itself, no need to get into an stressful hobby.
I appreciate the sentiment, "stressful" is probably a bit of youtuber hyperbole, generally speaking I enjoy the game (I have 535 hours atm xD), I just don't love the sweat-fest events like Duelist Cup, I have no problem with most of the other more casual/fun events just.. "ranked but not ranked" is a hard pill to swallow when your F2P gems kinda depend on it T_T
@@TriixstarHD I agree, it sucks that every other event these days is just a duelist cup instead of a fun event, but if you are just collecting the gems, you can stop at level 15, since you can't derank at that level. In my case, last I got to level 19 and then quit because I was there only for the gems, and I was luck I didn't see a lot of stun because otherwise I would have quit a lot sooner.
I'm also kinda considering 17 "the end" - not that I wont play but, I can live without the last 200 gems from the levels and the title thing xD Also the same thing happened to me with my Kashtira deck.. literally one game away from level 17 to now battling from 15 back up :')
@@TriixstarHD I don’t think you can level down from 17 so it’s just the next milestone, I would happily push for 20 but I don’t know if I’m going to be able to get level 17 in the first place running Dino but it’s my best deck and don’t have ur points for better decks but the free gems from the events have been great I agree bought a few packs and I’m sitting at 4.3k think I’m waiting until the hero support comes out so I can drop all my gems getting what I need for a second deck that I like, sorry for the rant haha GL getting level 17 wish ya all the best bro 👍✌️👌
@@chickenflex4882 Appreciate you man! Good luck on the grind and with the Hero deck as well! Always nice to see/hear people just going for decks they like best! 😁
I've played barely played, and when I do, it's Ice Barriers or Genex or some meme deck because these events do not deserve the time of day. Like thanks for the free gems, and heres your survey telling you to get your shit together. Repeat every 3 months now seemingly with no real change for the better.
Soo far I’ve just had extremely spiteful duels against meta decks. I’m talking I just disarmed your generic follower using yubel/centurion with everything, drawn upwards of +6 cards and added more/milled some, set up a board, and get hand trapped to death until your hand is empty…. Then my opponent top decks Evenly/raigeki or a crucial Ash stopping me from delivering the final touches… it’s disgusting makes me hate the rigged game even more every day Don’t forget how they love to run terrible niche cards that no one uses but just soo happens to counter what you have at the moment
You play to the best of your ability and understand what problems may come. If you’re constantly complaining about everything I don’t see how you expect to ever deal with any situation. See what went wrong, see if winning was possible, think of every outcome, if you can’t do all that. You probably shouldn’t be playing Yu-gi-oh
@@VanceWeebin nah next your gonna cry about just drawing an out all the time. You didn’t acknowledge anything I said just started selectively whining to me about getting good or stopping. You’re actually a clown bud lmao
@@takeyourpoisoniv if there was a laugh react on UA-cam i would give it to you buddy, its a slog of rubbish when you get up in levels just filled with stun and Omni negates all over the place "jUsT dRaW tHe OuT" is literally all you can do xD also yes. yes i am ass.
@@TriixstarHD I feel you. Personally I just run whatever deck can start with 2 cards and fill the rest of the deck with outs that can't be responded to. Ra, Kaiju, lava golem, with any engine(s) that don't give AF about that first summon. I still lose too and trust the bullshit gets to me too. But like way less than what y'all are experiencing. I personally choose to go second.
@@takeyourpoisoniv I have been dying to put together a go second deck just for this event, the decks I play most are just hard lose if I go second, so much so I am also REALLY close to joining the dark side.. er.. i mean. trying to build stun xD
I think that simple minded approach of running a ton of Kaijus and cards you can’t respond to will be helpful to get you to duel lvl 10 after that you’ll get paired with snake eyes etc. and forced first from coin toss

I've not had issues getting max DC. Got lucky and mostly faced Yubel players and as a ninja user, they're pretty easy.

That's Master Duel game's logic for you. But you don't need to win everygame, just take a couple hour break when you suffer a lost streaks
Lost on last duel to go to 20. Then...lost big...back to 18 again
I've just been through the same thing.. had 1 duel to get to level 17 i think it was, now back to 15 :')
I get like 10 matches of centurion and yubela . Then like 10 of not seeing them at all.. then once backup the same thing.. so boring

They just surrender when i reached the max level lol
Keep it up man, you could do this. I finished this DC from last week with my Centur Adventure Synchron, it's not so hard this season honestly.
Good job man! I'll keep trying but slowly losing the will at this point xD
@@TriixstarHD So you should change the Decklist first and try again :D
