Master Duel Rookie Guide!

When you're first start Yugioh Master Duel, the temptation is high to just spend all your free gems on anything that the shop promotes at the time. I'm here to advise you that maybe instead of jumping right into such, we instead try to be a little more optimal... then jump right into buying whatever you want.

First Step - What to Buy

There are many Archetypes within Yugioh and some of them do work better than others. Do some studying on what's meta, though if none of that interests you, you're free to try your hand at a Rogue Deck or something out there. While you may not win every match, you'll still have a strong sense of pride and victory when you do come out on top. However, a strong deck starts with a strong base, and these eight cards might just be what you need. The first on your shopping list should be one of the following (Listed by Most Value to Least in my own personal Opinion) :

Infinite Impermanence Set

Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring Set

Lighting Storm Set

Solemn Judgment Set

Triple Tactics Talent Set

Forbidden Droplet Set

Effect Veiler Set

Nibiru, the Primal Being Set

All these bundles provide you with 10 Master Packs with which you can get any number of random, but potentially powerful cards, and even if you strike out with pulls, you are guaranteed at least One SR Rarity Card (10 SR Dust if you don't care with a chance to be 30 if Royal Glossy). On top of that, you have a chance to find Secret Packs for cards you may already want which would eliminate having to craft one first. If anything, you should buy at least ONE of the bundles to help you get started. Once that's done, look at how many gems are left and get started on pulling from a secret pack.

New Packs are also always coming out so be sure to check them. They can have a combination of new and old cards and tend to be more geared towards updating an existing archetype while introducing a new one. They also might just be releasing good generic cards that can help to shape up a deck.

On top of that, if you feel like you'll enjoy using a structure deck more, then I recommend purchases three copies of the deck, looking what it has, removing what you don't care for to add in the extra copies, and crafting/Secret Pack pulling the rest of what you need. It might be cheaper than you know! Remember, a structure deck is 500 gems and you can get three for 1500 gems to get three copies of a card from it (or more from the older ones) and with that you can have a better chance to build the deck that works for you, on top of that, if you get lucky with pulls from a secret pack containing cards from the deck (or the archetype) you may even be able to construct a better deck than ever for much cheaper. Also, as a lil bonus, here are the numbers for ya.

All Eight Sets - 6000 Gems One Copy of Each Structure Deck - 6500 Gems Three Copies of Each Structure Deck - 19500 Gems The Feeling of Victory - Priceless (ImsorryIhadto)

Second Step - Deck Building

Deck construction in any TCG/OCG is important, it determines how often you'll have the chance of drawing what you need to win or what you'll need to survive. Your opening hand could spell victory or defeat, and knowing how your deck can handle things is just as important as knowing what your cards do. On that topic: READ. YOUR. CARDS.

Many a match is lost when someone notices they read the card wrong and have ended up in a situation where they are forced into an action they cannot reverse. There is no 'Oh I didn't mean to do that, can I take it back?' in Master Duel, and you have ample time to read and understand what a card does. When you've constructed a deck you like be it from having pulled cards from a secret pack, a structure deck brought it's bits used to make a deck in tandem with secret pack cards, Normal AND Secret packs used to make your deck, or even the complete insanity of just using Master Packs, take your deck into Solo Mode or Free Duel (if your brave) to see how well it does. Take the time to learn your combos, understand how your cards chain and such, and if you need to, look up guides and videos to better help your deck and deck-building skills.

One other thing you can do, if you need, is going through the Practice Tutorials that Master Duel has for you. Though a lot of it is REALLY BASIC, you might still enjoy a little,

Third Step - Ranked

So, you've brought what you needed, you built your deck, you tried it out and learned it, all that's left is to Duel. Take your deck into Ranked and do your best to climb. Find out what the Meta looks like and make adjustments to your deck to help you fight against it or turn it completely on it's head. If you start to suffer a loss-streak, maybe try building a new deck and see if you might have more luck with that, but the moment it stops being fun, it's time to put down the controller, mouse, or whatever else, and take a break. Tilting can lead to misplays, forgetting about the timing of your cards, or just plain exhaustion. If you're genuinely trying to play so you can participate on a Tournament Level, find ways to help de-stress and de-tilt so you can keep climbing, learning, and trying for the top. Don't compare yourselves to others either, you're going at YOUR pace and at YOUR time.

If you find, during a ranked match, you've already lost and see no point in continuing, don't. Surrender. No points are lost in Ranked, a loss would've been a loss anyway, no need to suffer through it. Though Surrendering forfeits your claims to any bonuses you might've gotten after the duel, you may wish to sit there an just let it happen. Dealer's choice. In my personal opinion, I don't enjoy wasting an extra two-minutes of my life to let my opponent Ego Stroke, so I'll just scope and go next. If you want to stick it out and get your rewards for your plays, go right ahead, you complete your missions even if you lose. It's all up to you to decide how you handle it.

Final Step - Post-Match (Ranked and Casual)

The Match is over! You've either won and are celebrating, or you lost and are trying to figure out what went wrong. There are a few things Master Duel allows you to do Post-Match.

For a limited time, you can grab the gameplay of your match and save it. Simply go to Duel ----> Then go to either Ranked Duel or Casual Match ---> Go to Match History ---> Click on the match you either just did or did a while ago ---> Click Play Replay or Save Replay if you wish to watch over the match or save it for future videos of your own, submission clips to those who upload such, or if you just wanna review things on your own. Your other options are to view the profile of your opponent, confirm their deck or Report (Max is 3 times per Day/Maybe per-opponent?). Confirming a deck is something you can do to see if you were just an unfortunate victim of Konami Favoritism (Not salt(alilsalt)) or if your opponent just had a really well constructed deck. You might also get inspired to try something similar or even take the deck and see if you can improve upon it. Viewing the Profile allows you to see the person you've faced and potentially 'Follow' them. You may find you enjoyed the match and want to follow them or maybe you'd like a rematch and you follow them and try to invite them for a round two. Just don't harass or spam them. Reporting should be reversed for the people who actually did something worthy that you can prove or at least have strong evidence of some wrong-doing.

I thank you for reading this whole thing if ya did and do certainly hope that I was able to help out in some form. Obliviously, this is for new players to Master Duel and potentially Yugioh as a whole. I'm no expert and alot of what I do here is casual play and opinion, granted my casual play is just Ranked cause... rewards, but yeah. I still do hope this was able to help, enhance, or simply just give ya little smirk or smile, even if it's at my expense ;u ;

Welp, Back to the Trenches

If anyone has decided to follow me, I apologize if you've suddenly been blocked/reported. The Bots have returned and I am on a warpath. It seems like every day more of them follow my blogs. It's very annoying, and if I'm tired or annoyed, I'll 100% look at the name/description of the blog and if I see 'Untitled' you're probs getting the boot.

If you're an actual person, at times I do check if there have been posts made, and if that's the case, you're safe.

The Nuzlocke’s End

Okay so, here’s what I mean by the Nuzlocke’s End. The game is ‘over’ once you beat all the storylines. What does that mean for me? Well here’s how I see it in terms of the story I’ve sort of set up for the game.

This part is mostly my own headcanons/story for the Nuzlocke itself, if you don’t care, you can ignore this part.

STORY

As you all know by now, the way the Nuzlocke works in the context of the Pokemon World is that, for myself, the Pokemon cannot battle again due to wounds that have gone beyond that would normally be recovered, or in the case of the Double-KOs, their spirit is broken and they don’t wish to weigh down the party. HOWEVER, with the story of Heroic slowly coming to a climax, here’s what’s gonna happen. 

Heroic becoming Champion Rank, does not end the Nuzlocke. Heroic beating the Leader of Team Star, does not end the Nuzlock. Heroic beating Arven, does not end the Nuzlocke.

Once all three have been done AND Miraidon is fully recovered (able to do combat) THAT is when the Nuzlocke is over. Upon this happening, all pokemon in the Hospital have their faith restored and perhaps I’ll write a short story to cap off the journey. The Pokemon will be sent to a close friend to look after and have their own Hall of Fame type deal with Pokemon Home. 

GAMEPLAY

Basically, once I beat all four story-lines, I no longer have to obey the rules of the Nuzlocke for other activities. I can use items during combat, I can challenge Terra Raids, Pokemon can Faint and I can be wiped out and the run not be over. On top of that, those in the Hospital can be returned to the normal Boxes, and no level-limiters.

I more than likely will be just capturing the Legendaries and re-battling gyms and that’ll be the true end of the LP portion of the Nuzlocke, as the Nuzlocke will have ended once the last story-mode is beaten.

Immortal Unchained

It took me five years, plenty of bitching, quite a few failed attempts across three systems (P4, PC, P5) and so much more, but thanks to my older brother sitting through and watching me (and just being general support and keeping me from self-cannibalism due to rage and anger) I have finally beaten it.

Some minor thoughts on this five-year journey.

This game will not be my go-to Gun-Souls, I’ll sooner mod Dark Souls 1 to have it be my Gun-Souls than this, but it was an experience. I wish a lot of things could’ve been different, I wish there had been more polish and more shine, I wish it wasn’t trying to hard to be like Dark Souls 2, and I wish it didn’t do so poorly. If it were to get a sequel that improved upon its base, I think it could be a real hit. I’d hope they’d change A LOT but I would play it. 

Overall, it’s not great, but it’s not horrible enough to banish into the Shadow Realm. 

If you’re looking at it and thinking about trying it, go for it. You might have a better time with it than I did, and you might have more fun with it, but if you end up wanting to create a physical copy of it to fire it into the sun, I can’t blame you.

Nuzlocke Lore

This is mostly due to the videos coming out tomorrow so if you haven’t seen them

=SPOILERS=

Also do consider checking out the playlist.  If you’re from the future... hi! Hope you’ve enjoyed the Nuzlocke! Now then

The Nuzlocke rule I have in place as a Come-Back (Literally) mechanic is the following: Basically, if a Pokemon faints during an event but are brought back to full HP BEFORE you are able to interact with your party again AND without help from the Pokemon Center, they are ‘back’ but only once. So effectively, every pokemon gets a +1 for only these events. Whiting Out during them is an instant L unless you have back-up mons, but in this case, they are all gone (They didn’t get healed by some outside influence.) This is my only real ‘Grace’ rule to prevent the LP from becoming too desperate or too short and I do punish myself for it. I’m not allowed to use those mons unless I do fights without them.

In-game what this means is: I get an extra chance sometimes. I don’t know when pokemon are healed post-battles and even then, I don’t plan for it (which is you saw the episode you would know that was the truth by how I reacted). The situation that happened in the video is also a bit weird because of how things happened. This is also something that can ONLY happen in the newer games.

In-Nuzlocke-Lore what this means/what happens:

The pokemon who you’ve chosen to go on this journey with you have been taken out (critically injured if you’re choosing the ‘They Die’ route) however, before they could sustain an injury that would remove them from battle permanently (Or again, bleed out) they are healed by someone and brought back to full health. However, they still have a small mental block that prevents them from wanting to fight, at least for a bit.

Unfortunately, if they suffer another defeat, the injury they sustained the first time has come back but worse. This leads to them retiring (dying) due to complications from the wound. On top of that, they do not feel like they are worthy to remain on your team. The other pokemon have been through battles without taking similar scars and continued to grow while they, even with their own growth, lost... again. 

This is my own justification for what’s happened/why I’m doing it.

No Vids Tomorrow

Said it on YT, saying it here. Again, everything is alright, I just had a moment that shook me to my core and it doesn’t help I had a very hard time sleeping at one point because of very bad thoughts so the combo hit was enough to knock out my funny and I just need another day to recover. I’ll be back Monday.

[heroiclegendyt]

Mondays might be Clean-Up Days

By that I mean I got across my blogs, check the new followers, and then drop the bots down into a hole... a hole filled with spiders, that are on fire, and immune to flames, and are venomous, and have spikes, and the spikes are venomous, and-

My point being, I greatly dislike the surge of bots.  

[heroiclegendyt]

Almost outta the first month of 2023. Had two weeks where I couldn’t do a Friday vid, got sick, Mini got sick, and older bro had a rough time...

BUT

We had just as many positives too! Found some fun new games for Randoms, visited a friend’s place for fun, actually got to watch the Royal Rumble and experience that with a big group of friends, Mini has been doing good in school, and I’m excited for new releases that are coming up!

As for a lil blog update: Still trying to figure out what to use the blog for. Occasional thoughts is one thing, screaming into the void my desires, another, but maybe I could put my thoughts on current games I’m playing and what I’m doing in them here as well? Would anyone be interested in behind the scenes LP talk as well as what happens when I’m gaming off-screen? I could also do like, lil reviews of games if anyone would like to see that as well.

Once again, just screaming into the void and thoughts for later. Might just forget about ‘em and this blog continue to collect dust too :V

[heroiclegendyt]

Dude

I dunno which being of luck is looking over me, but right now, I know they got my back fr fr.

So, as you all know or maybe don’t since I don’t really post here :V I’m doing a Violet Nuzlocke for the channel. Right now, I’m doing some off-screen grinding to up my odds of beating this Nuzlocke... and during the grind, I found THREE random shinies. Just... wow. JaymerX is gonna be salty about this XD, but honestly, I’m blown away. Hell, if the Nuzlocke fails, I might just try and make it into a challenge run with the shinies I got. I’ll still have some of the rules lifted over, but legit, wow.

[heroiclegendyt]

Pokemon Violet Nuzlocke

For the upcoming feature on the channel, I’m writing this to have the rules for the LP/Nuzlocke up to be viewed whenever by whomever. If you wish to do a similar nuzlocke to mine, you’re free to use this as a reference. Now onto the rules. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules for the Nuzlocke Standard Rules -You must catch the first pokemon you See. That is your only catch for that location. You cannot capture another pokemon on that route. -Once a pokemon has fainted it is no longer usable for the run(must be removed from the game or put in a box) -You must nickname all your pokemon. This builds a bond between you and your pokemon.

Extra Rules for this Run 1. No Items during battle. 2. No Tera Raids. 3. For capturing the first pokemon 'Seen' in a location, it goes based on what the player sees first. If multiple mon spawn in the same spot, the one closest is the one captured. -Unless a different mon ran into you, then that mon becomes the new 'seen' mon. 4. Shiny Pokemon do not count towards your catch (unless they are the first one seen) and may be caught but cannot be used during the journey. 5. No Gift Pokemon unless they are from NPCs. -Mystery Gift may have to be voted on/discussed 6. Auto-Battle is allowed UNTIL your pokemon hits Orange Health. Once it hits Orange, you have to battle with it before it can auto-battle again. -In world explanation: It needs confidence to battle again before it can do it on it's own. 7. Pokemon can only be transfers when near or at a Pokemon Center 8. 5 Picnics between each Pokemon Center. Refreshes after Pokemon Center use. Avoid abusing. 9. Moves must not be Forgotten and then Remembered to cheat out having to use Elixirs and Ethers. 10. Trades are allowed only to evolve Trade-Based evolutions.

Clauses: Dupe-Clause is in effect, however, this goes for the Pokemon and it's Evolutions. Example: You catch a Pidgey. You can no longer catch a Pidgey again and can skip it as an encounter. However, you also cannot later catch a Pidgeotto, or Pidgeot.

Personal Rule: Cannot beat all of one type of challenge and then do the others. Challenges (Titan Mon, Star Raids, Gyms) must be done in any version of this order Gym, Gym, Star Raid, Titan.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wish me luck Oh I know Dupes clause just goes for repeats instead of the evolution line, however, the added evolution line part for this Nuzlocke. 

[heroiclegendyt]

Pokemon

Oh hell yea am I getting the new games! To keep up with the theme, I’ll be getting the opposite version of my big bro, like we did when we were kids and still do now. I dunno how any playthroughs or randoms or even how Nuzlockes will be affected by the changes. I am super excited for it all though! 

[heroiclegendyt]

Important

I’m not gonna make a video about it, but, seeing the state of the world, I wanna say this.

This channel, this tumblr, my twitter, etc. are a safe place for all of you. I’m happy to have you watching regardless of who you are or where you came from. So long as everything you do is between consenting adults and legal, I welcome you. 

My content will not be bringing up the topics, not because I don’t care or disagree with anything, but because I want my channel and etc. to be a place away from all the chaos. A little slice of peace to help you guys keep going. Just a big guy with a big heart trying to be silly and help you through the day with some silly content. 

I wanna try to make you laugh and just forget about the bad things, give you a place and space to just take a deep breath, reset, and then tackle the problems. I want to be your bonfire on the road. I want to be your lantern where you gather with others and get ready for the challenge ahead. 

IF any bit of my content can do that for you, even if it’s just one of my shorter ones, I’m glad and thank you for choosing me to be the one to help you. Even if you don’t watch it full, but just enough to get to the funny bits, thank you, and I’m glad I could help ^ ^.

That’s all from me, stay safe everyone.

Gosh

Sometimes, the biggest obstacle between me and posting something is the mental gymnastics I go through. 

‘Yeah I post up how I wanna get a kirby game for my little sister!’ “Yeah but, what if people take issue with that? Would they even care about that? What if you’re not able to get it for her? What if-” ‘...I... I just like Kirby and so does she... wouldn’t it be fine or cute?’ “...But, there are so many what-ifs!” ‘:c’ BRAIN LET ME FUCKING GUSH ABOUT KIRBY AND HOW MUCH i LOVE THE CHARACTER! LEMME TALK ABOUT HOW i WANNA PLAY THE GAME FOR MY LITTLE SIS SO WE CAN HAVE FUN WATCHING KIRBY BE AWESOME! 

whyamIlikethis:’)

[heroiclegendyt]

Zombies

Honestly, I really like the Yugioh Zombie types the best of all card games with the undead. Like, Vendread is sooooooo fucking cool and the lore behind it all is neat, and that’s just one of them. Discovering some of the other ones? I’m just super happy that Zombies have become such a cool and neat archetype. I remember back with Vampire Lord and Vampire Genesis, those days... damn, like, I sometimes miss ‘em, but seeing how far we’ve come since has been so enjoyable. 

That’s all, that’s the post, a little bit of love for the Zombie-Type monsters.

[heroiclegendyt]

To The Person I just Dueled in Master Duels

Why didn’t you just attack? You had it, you had it all in your hands, and it spilled out onto the floor. 

I’m turning what happened into a short, you can’t stop me. 

Just know, you’re doing some good. I’m going to turn what you did into a lesson for others.

GGEZNORE GeT rEktEd!
