I Love Cooking

Yugioh Side Blog - Mostly TCG focused, but I also play Master Duel with some regularity! Will probably be posting decklists/locals reports/thoughts/rambling etc that I used to post on the evil site.

Rip Cimo, gonna go find an old deck profile of his to play as closely as I can at locals tomorrow.

Built and then played this at locals Saturday - it was really fun! I’d never played runick or naturia stuff before and made a lot of bad reads and misplays but still ended up 2-2 with my first double loss lmao. Really feels like this strategy has legs but might need some more work?

Ended up last minute pivoting ruddy rose into garden rose maiden so that red rose + hugin is combo and ruddy rose feels horrible to resolve in this list.

Combo tutorial I made for people here https://www.duelingbook.com/replay?id=150620-75209723

oh boy i love coping in events

probs needs the second yellow marten over the trap but this was fun - why do they never ban gryphon in these tight banlist events?

pretty consistently ends on I:P gryphon and nightmare which is solid but also pretty consistently draws unplayable lmao

I am picking up yummy for tcg — been waiting a while for stuff in the mail but I’m definitely going to try to get used to it standard for a bit before trying any silliness ^^

Since they added the ranked floors I climbed to master ball this season in pocket for the first time instead of stopping at U1 for the rewards!

Win rate wasn’t too bad… did some eevee deck climbing (leafeon flareon and psychic turbo) and some buzzwole but ended up doing most of it with donphan aerodactyl lmao

I haven’t finished a ranked ladder since the last time I capped master duel I think!

Back in gold in MD for the first time in a bit - doubt I’ll climb to master again bc it takes forever but wow fiendsmith with apo and white forest with baronne are craaaazy holy

I was inspired this morning with Torin trying to put together DM HERO slop and this deck is so funny.

Max ceiling replay - you can also do the same thing with normal Vyon but you have to overlay Vyon and Lacrima instead, then end on Desirae instead of Caesar + Paradise. Wanted and Diabellstar are equivalent except obviously Diabellstar is a -1.

If you don't have the Wanted/Diabellstar open you can still get the Colossus via the hero line by making an S:P to banish any monster.

Second at locals lost the mirror in finals with handtrap snakes

Felt really fun, got the ftk off once - finals bricked my life away but it happens!!

2/12/2025 Bystial Fiendsmith Azamina Chimera Unchained - This is my theoretical full power build of the deck with side, aside from the fact that I would cut 1 or 2 gazelle. I don't own fuwalos, though, so I don't play this in paper currently!

2/8/2025 Bystial Fiendsmith Azamina Chimera Unchained - This is my essentially current cook that I've been focusing on. I think this deck has SERIOUS legs and power, and I wish there were other people experimenting with it! It's a BASED-style pile of engines with loose synergies deck where all roads lead to an unchained endboard. I've gotten top 2 every locals I've played it so far! Only change has been cutting 1 gazelle since this iteration.

1/18/2025 Fiendsmith Azamina Chimera - First draft with Azamina Elzette! This deck is such a blast.

[edgeimpchain]

10/14/2024 Fiendsmith Azamina Chimera - I have been iterating on this deck for the last 4 months, essentially. I love the deck a lot, especially with Azamina Elzette!!

[edgeimpchain]

9/29/2024 Grass Tearlaments Lightsworn - This deck was fun but obviously is a gamblers paradise, as one would expect! Activating Left Arm Offering in a world with handtraps is like the most nerve-wracking thing in the universe, lol.

8/3/2024 Purrely Spright Fiendsmith- Fenrir is Purulia and I didn't have the third lurrie or engraver on me. This deck was unbelievably fun, to be honest. I should look back into it sometime. This is the beginning of me putting the Fiendsmith cards into almost every deck I build, though.

[edgeimpchain]

6/4/2024 Melodious Lightsworn - Ostinato is SUCH A GOOD CARD. I played this at YCS Indy 2024, lost every die roll but won every game I went first. I had an absolute blast playing it, though, what a great time!

[edgeimpchain]

4/15/2024 Snake-Eye - I loved snake-eye first wave and the early format, because I was doing wacky stuff like this with it, lol.

3/11/2024 Ashened - I wish these cards were better... not much else to say tbh.
