I swear playing master duel rn is so frustrating. With Runic and Labyrinth which are both super annoying ways to play, but alot of people are starting to play them or decks that include them. The Despair, Swordsoul, and Floo which are all so annoying and honestly this game is turning to whoever goes first wins unless you have a really cheesy way of going second makes this game so unfun. I literally only play right now to just build some fun decks to play in casual, but i got to play rank to get crystals to build what i want. Then just to build it go to casuals and play against Floo.

@@bigpablo673 I don’t want to just play against bad decks. That’s not what im saying but playing against Runic 4 games in a row that’s not fun. I can be ok with loosing if it’s a good game and i understand the meta and ik that the most competitive decks will be played in higher ranks. But decks like Runic or Labryth are just not fun to play against at all. I play aDespia and Swordsoul in rank so truthfully i’m not complaining to much cause that’s what rank is, but it can be that way and be unfun. Now in casual i do expect to not have to play against meta decks. I expect for it to be rougue or gimmick decks or whatever, but it should be a break from the annoyance of rank
@@deshawnstewart7117 true, im so sick with runnick and adamancipator so i try playing casual, guess what, 4 games i play in casual is againts branded with ido lock and 3 runic stun.

i think its funny as hell youre running raigeki break. Im running it too but only because im using a fabled engine to combo andwraith with lovely labrynth. Good luck with building, its a really fun deck thats taught me how to use the toggle button. Does lose to duster tho :(
Silver is annoying as hell. Most of the games are either laggy suicide bots or people lagging not playing on pc. The game state is super simplified yet the games are just as long or longer than going at it between two combo decks. Most annoying part of making a new account is getting out of silver
This is what you get when they don't ban and limit the right cards. You get players that use the same decks over and over again or just run to the next "meta" deck that will carry them because they are trash. Nothing is wrong with that but it is better if the decks was balanced out better.
I agree with that but also maybe if they were just be quick about the releases of new decks so everyone has a varity of options to choose from by then the game will be perfect everything is balanced it's just your skill with your own favourite deck that will remain to carry you ... but nah we may wait for 3, 6 or 9 months to get your favourite archetype ... I hope they make it shorter tbh oneday
Yesterday I got clapped by someone using swordsoul in gold 4 after getting clapped by one otk deck . I use an above average dragonmaid deck can't even summon a card. Now I'm putting despia cards in just to have some chances against stronger decks.
I would be in higher rank in MD if it wasn't for my weak ass connection. Fails every other duel and can barely stack wins in a row to be able to climb to Plat. I'd be stuck in silver (no row wins) and at best tier 3 gold before a WINNING BLOW DUEL DISCONNECTS ....
I'll do you one better: Who thought combos that go on *for like 20 MINUTES* in seemingly every goddamn archetype these days was a good idea? At least Runicks do something mildly *DIFFERENT.* (Calling out the inevitable pointless "Why is Gamora" reference in the replies.)
@@TheTaintedWisdom eh swordsoul and branded doesnt take that long to do their combo, deck like adamancipator, pend, spyral, dragon link on the other hand just take forever even if you dont throw any disruption and when you use a single ash they just spent another 20 minute looking at youtube tutorial video since i guess they dont eveb know how to play their deck.
He started the vid with around 7500+ gems so, you can guess that's the catch. But, when I opened the pack, I used 8000 gems. And unlocked only 2 UR Lady, half of the SR sets for labrynth, a complete set of Runick and other non Labrynth SRs. I think most likely Konami wants you to play Runick and if you are lucky enough to get required amount of dust to dismantle and craft, good luck with the Labrynth deck. 👍 The deck is extremely fun. Once the board is set-up properly there is little chance for you to lose the game. But it is not a super tough deck to face against to be honest.
Anyone down to play friendly matches on master duel? Getting annoyed playing against meta decks in rank especially runick. I’m currently in platinum V but don’t even want to play rank anymore
Dude, you've gotta verbally distinguish "Labyrinth" from "Labrynth" Doing so lets you and people listening keep the fact that they're two distinct words in mind, which will make searching for the cards easier since you're more aware of the spelling difference. I pronounce Labrynth as "Luh - brinth" so that it's more noticeably different from Labyrinth's "Lab - er - inth" or "Lab - uh - rinth".
you should see bronze, full of diamond frame losers farming new players cause they can't win in diamond, asians which 99/100 times will have triple ash and maxx C (clearly smurf accounts), bots with a starter deck........and then a random guy trying to have fun with blue eyes or a rogue deck.
Skellington, 493-519-993, Vs. shiroharu01, Speedroids Vs. Dragonmaids Gold 4, I've been a fan of speedroids for years and years now and just recently came to masterduel, getting to see support for speedroids definitely is a blessing these little guys ability to circulate through synchros like nothing is some absolute fun, especially now with new cards like den-den daiko and fuki, this deck really has potential, maybe not to be top tier but definitely to be a major amount of fun and catch a lot of these top tier deck players off guard.
Ya sadly ever since Sword Soul release, every fucking rank plays the same shit with maybe an exception every 20 or so duels. Use to be youd get literally anything under the sun until plat then it's just meta but like I said ever since ^ it's been mind numbingly boring at all ranks. Hell even casual is aids cause its BASED OFF YOUR FUCKING RANK which limits your player pool by alot
It's hard to say if the player base is just gravitating more towards the Selection Packs to dictate their decks but there's little doubt in my mind that Konami sticking their collective dicks into the tiering system is royally fucking things up.
