look at this card... This is insane what they do with this game...
Well if it comes to mirror match, usually you win by having Towers or Kernel . And again I don't think Reqliphort is worse. But I know it have possible backfire effect. And I don't like when it can make situation worse for me. It may not, but still there is risk. And yes, Skill Drain can negate Towers and Kernel and LP don't matter in long run, when you can go so fast with this deck.[DOUBLEPOST=1418052612][/DOUBLEPOST] Rules haven't changed that much. 2 field spells and you don't get to draw when you go first. Plus pendulum zones. That's all that matters.
I saw many builds and I personally like this one most. But as I said for me it's a best case scenario. Naturally it involves searching/drawing cards. Plus Assembler gives you too much draw power to not use it. But again in the end, one with Towers or Kernel would win the Qli race, as in basic in case of your deck, if you don't run other monster that can deal with that, you go -1 every turn on never ending wall of pendulum monsters. Reqliphort is not that good, but it's your additional one sided Skill Drain. On other hand Saqlifice is great card that can possibly help you with Towers/Kernel and give you all searches you need. Ehh I guess everybody plays their own way. My deck focuses on speed and getting all the pluses. I guess you prefer to go slower with this deck.
Also lets talk about best case scenario for meta-Qli build. It involves standard randomized chances, so in arena it could be even Batter. Case of going first: You set scale with: Hand:3 With Scout you add 1 "Qli" card, in this case lets say we go all in: Hand:4 Now we pendulum summon 3 regular pendulum monsters from our hand: (I personally think its a best combination you can get in your Extra deck) Hand:1 Also its worth mentioning that if our opponent activates Maxx"C", he gets only 1 card. Now we tribute our Qli monsters for Towers And by this moment opponent probably just ragequit. Unless they can do something that can deal with it. We use Towers effect to make our opponent discard 1 monster OR look at their hand if they don't have any. -End Phase- We get to draw 3 card due to Assembler eff (too lazy to paste its eff, just go and look for it on wiki). Hand:3 Field: Pendulum Scales: Other available and more often happening case is you ending with similar scale (different monsters, but scale stays at 9-1), 1-2 Qli monsters, having Skill Drain in back-row together with Emptiness. At this point it's all Kyogre now. If we go second it looks similar, but in best case we get Raigeki for more Pendulum butthurt OR just OTK It's too bad that for now I don't see any good Qli FTK strategies (but old good Catapult Turtle may be answer for that).
Positioning of scales doesn't matter. You can have Scale 9 Qli Scout on left and Scale 1 Qli Assembler and still be able to preform pendulum summon mosters from 2 to 8. Also to make this explanation a little bit more complete; when Pendulum monster is treated as Spell Card, it's not treated as any existing type of Spell (Normal, Quick, Field, etc.). And yes till this point every monster have even Scales on both sides and monsters with two different scales, if they make appearance, they probably gonna be anime exclusive.[DOUBLEPOST=1417991961][/DOUBLEPOST] Cost of this summon is hand advantage. You loose cards pretty quickly. And right now only good pendulum decks that can deal with that problem are Qli's and DDD's. And they Level (not rank) matters. But more importantly what matters are their pendulum effects and scales. EDIT: Right now there are 40 pendulum monsters (46 if we count illegal cards and 47 if we count twice appearing on list "Flash Knight") that are accessible in game. And most of higher scaled ones have effects that prevents them from being used outside of certain archetype. Also I forgot to mention Yosenju archetype. It also can deal with lack of cards in hand, but it's not pure pendulum archetype.
I do, but hey use it if you want. It's not like if pictures belongs to character you cannot use them with new character. They are just to make it easier to see situation.
I would go as good guy, but nobody ever notices it so I will go as a good guy that uses bad guy cards instead.
Wait, wait, wait ... WAIT! We will have plot?!
If Jaden is sure he won't be dropping again out of RP, just start new RP. No one does simply change existing setting just to fit in villain.
So this character is owner of the land and a ghost of present not-Christmas. Just it. I'm using this one and unnamed one in this RP.
"Are you sure about that? After all it is a land of the dead."
*cough*loads of decks that are able to pull a fight and don't involve pendulums*cough* Plus Pendulum butt hurt.
Here, IDK. In real game, yes. After hearing you complaining so much about banlist and bad draws I'm pretty confident about this.
"Useless struggling." "I discard White Stone of Legend, triggering it's effect to add Blue-Eyes White Dragon to my hand." Hand:5
Well that wasn't my original plan, but hey I can work with that.
OOC:What? Again! Dang it. But I can dig it.
Nothing.
1800 LP if no hand traps were used. Also 4 cards in hand (5 including upcoming draw phase, again if no hand traps were used).
"I activate Double Summon to Preform additional Normal Summon. I summon Ojama Black from my hand." (Hand:10) "Now I overlay my Ojama Black and Ojama Red. XYZ Summon. Ghostrick Socuteboss!" "It's effect activates by detaching Ojama Black. I can destroy your last monster. Next I tribute Paladin of White Dragon to Special Summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my deck." -Battle Phase- "My monsters, attack!" -Main Phase 2- "I set 5 cards face-down and end my turn." (Hand:5) -End Phase- LP:8000 Hand:5 Field:
"Well with your appearance we cannot talk about you having hand." -Main Phase 1- "I activate Reload." As cards returned to deck, boy proceeded to draw 20 cards. "Looks like I don't need to prolong this. You won't be able to become danger to our plan." A wide grin appeared on his face. "Everything is set in stone by gears of fate. And your fate is to loose this fight. I normal Summon Ojama Red." "Due to it's effect I can Special Summon up to 4 Ojama monsters from my hand. I Special Summon Ojama Blue, Ojama Yellow, Ojama Green and Ojama Black." Hand:15 "But that's not all. I overlay Ojama Yellow and Ojama Green. XYZ Summon. Ghostrick Socuteboss! Now one more time I overlay Ojama Blue and Ojama Black. XYZ Summon. Ghostrick Socuteboss!" "Next I activate White Dragon Ritual. I tribute Level 4 Djinn Cursenchanter of Rituals to Ritual Summon Paladin of White Dragon!" Hand:12 "Now due to my Djinn Cursenchanter of Rituals your dragons won't be able to doge this. Ghostrick Socuteboss effect activates by detaching Ojama Yellow. I will destroy your Stardust Dragon. But that's not all. I activate effect of my second Ghostrick Socuteboss by detaching Ojama Blue to destroy your second Stardust Dragon." (OOC: Any chains?)
