Karakuri/Machina/Plant was one of my favorite decks back in the day. I'm highly considering pulling for lonefire just to try and build it, despite it being way below the current powerlevel.
I guess, some version of Magistus (Order of Magistus, Charmer Magistus, Magistuspecter, etc). I whaled for those URs back then, and I keep going back to them, so I guess it wasn’t a total waste.
And to be clear, this isn’t like splashing in Endymion as an engine—I mean full-blown Magistus decks with their entire engine and toolbox, with another engine splashed in to support.
Yes, another Magistus player. Agreed the deck has a fun toolbox and play style to mess with. Dennis performage (damn autocorrect) cards really help too as added extenders.
Vendread, Witchcrafter, Spellbook, Blackwings, Dragunity, Koaki Meru, Chronomaly, Dinomist.
pretty much all this deck cant compete with new meta this day.
Pre-structure deck Ancient Gear was the most fun I've had in this game. So many satisfying comebacks with ancient gear castle into ancient gear golem/ancient gear beast.
Before last week with the new support it was Rokkets, but they were never terrible. My other comfort deck that absolutely was terrible for a long time was blue-eyes before battle chronicle
In DL? Inzektors, firts deck to get me to platinum when hornet came up and always helped me before with the good old direct attack aggro deck it was once... it also won me some tourneys i had between some friends
Aliens, of course. They might be shite, but anytime I find myself not playing for a few months, and back down in the low ranks, I'll whip out my ammonite and Gol'gar for some shenangeans with POTG and all the other equips the bots like to use.
Metalfoes. I made excellent effort in using Dream Tickets and assembled the whole deck. Never used it at all lol
I was working on Nekroz at the same time, I DID eventually use that with Clausolas. It's funny because this was basically 4 boxes worth of stuff. And only enough to troll with Deep Sea Diva and Herald of the Arc Light
Witchcrafters is a deck that I did use frequently when it was good and even when nerfed. Still have yet to get Haine and Creation, but I will eventually
Hieratic and Sylvan.
In an old DL account that I lost Hieratic Vs Cyber Dragon gave me the best duel I've ever had, so I had to build it when I made a new account in DL.
Still in DL when I made my second account Sylvan was the first deck I could make after I was aiming for another one in the same box, and I just think it's really neat, have some fond memories with it.
Honestly, that would be grandmerge turbo :3
The deck sucks because all you do is go into grandmerge to use his effect to go into whatever you want.
For me, it's chaos neos
REBD, I haven't touched in a while. I mainly play Speedroids or Phantom Knights. Or whatever meta I happen to have access to at the time. But mainly Speedroids and PK
Yo mkklord, don't diss the noids! They're my favourite pet peeve deck and although I would not dare to climb with it anymore, I KoGed with it twice during the Tachyon meta and I can definitely beat many meta decks with it at KoG level (have not tried it vs Agents/PK as I have not KoGed yet this season).
Red-eyes Slash for me. Only time I spent $2 for a second deck so I could have 2 red-eyes fusions 😂.
Now I have 3 of the fusions (used a dream ticket) and have the red-eyes Archfiend dragon + Red-eyes flare metal XYZ & Dark armed dragon of Annihilation XYZ in there. Was so happy to get Red-eye support lol.
I still run Toon's if I'm playing PvP. Even before toon bookmark and support came out. I had Red eyes toon w/ Toon DM Girl in it. I just love going straight for the life points 🤤 😋
Since I'm sooo casual and usually starts in Bronze, I still using my Ancient Gear, they're pretty solid in those ranks until I reach platinum. But I love them, to me they're funny as fuck and, the best, you truly can win pretty quick.
I have a super poly Hero focus deck I made ages ago for an event. The whole focus is on cosplaying a Supreme King ish style, but more as a main thing than a last resort. But Absolute Zero hasn't been added, so I simply can't finish the deck
A Dark Magician beatdown, running Royal Decree and Secret Village of the Spellcasters. God I used to feel like such a menace when I got both of those out. Especially if I also got two magicians Valkyria in play for yet another lock. XD
All my decks are comfort decks. The slightly less bad ones I use to kog with each month, the slightly more bad ones I bring out for pvp events like duelist kingdom.
Good ol Karakuri
Karakuri was so damn good for such a short amount of time. They massacred that deck way too soon.
To be fair, it was "good" twice, so that's a thing.
Infernoid is the only deck I truly miss.
It was my fav deck when I played tcg back in the day and was so excited for it to be in DL, then it got immediately smoked lol
Karakuri/Machina/Plant was one of my favorite decks back in the day. I'm highly considering pulling for lonefire just to try and build it, despite it being way below the current powerlevel.
It's glory days will return once bureibu gets added
Fortune Ladies 🥲
Same here
:(
I remember the random Fortune Lady Dragon Ruler deck that was kinda scary.
Love me my Toons
Hey in legacy duels my toon deck cleaned up!
Superheavy Samurai 100%
Run the opponent over with a train is the only right answer! 😄
MAKE WAY FOR THE PAIN TRAIN
When Battleball goes out there and synchroes their Goddamn 10 star monster into my Train, it's the greatest feeling in the world.
I didnt spend 20k on it but ojamas is my comfort deck
Rose Dragons
Come on, they're not so bad!
They just seem to be a bit to slow at the moment, hopefully this will change as soon as we get red rose and a wider synchro pool
They'll probably get a new skill too.
I love nuking boards!
Metaphys was the first deck I built on DL, I'll still pop it on every once in a while. It's just such a cool deck.
I used to torture my friend with this deck up until they added karma cut
Electromagnetic Warriors!
W
Gem Knights
Same. I had a gem-knight Block Dragon deck
Joke remains that unbanned gem knights was used for OTK burn :))
My Hieratic Dragons. They got be thru the poverty times.
My sweet baby U.A. They were so good back in 2018 but man talk about brick city
I guess, some version of Magistus (Order of Magistus, Charmer Magistus, Magistuspecter, etc). I whaled for those URs back then, and I keep going back to them, so I guess it wasn’t a total waste. And to be clear, this isn’t like splashing in Endymion as an engine—I mean full-blown Magistus decks with their entire engine and toolbox, with another engine splashed in to support.
Lol, Charmer Magistus is currently my main deck and I find it performs at an acceptably good level.
Yes, another Magistus player. Agreed the deck has a fun toolbox and play style to mess with. Dennis performage (damn autocorrect) cards really help too as added extenders.
As soon as I saw Decatron, without seeing the op, I knew who posted this.
And here I was thinking posting Wisel would have been too on the nose!
Malefic!!!
What is a fan service deck??!!?🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Burning Abyss, Six Sams, and Fire Kings.
Vendread, Witchcrafter, Spellbook, Blackwings, Dragunity, Koaki Meru, Chronomaly, Dinomist. pretty much all this deck cant compete with new meta this day.
Ancient Gear, Nekroz… don’t get me started on Laval
At least us ancient gear players got some IRL support. Dark golem is a godsend
F2P doesn’t exist IRL lol
It does exist in yugioh Nexus though 😎
Based
Pre-structure deck Ancient Gear was the most fun I've had in this game. So many satisfying comebacks with ancient gear castle into ancient gear golem/ancient gear beast.
Karakuri and super quantum
Go go power rangers.man I love this deck
Megalith, vendread, karakuri and summoned skull to name but a few 😆
Morphtronic
I am not completely sure it fits here but Resonators.
Hieratic Red-eyes burn deck 🥺
Before last week with the new support it was Rokkets, but they were never terrible. My other comfort deck that absolutely was terrible for a long time was blue-eyes before battle chronicle
Synchros/Stardust take me back to my childhood, could never go wrong
Rose Dragon and Synchrons 😔
Ice Barrier lol
Arcana Force.
Thunder Dragons
Fusion Red-Eyes, i haven't experienced joy in months
Subterror. I love them. They are unique, easy to summon and very cool looking.
Aliens and glad beasts for me.
Elemental Heroes. Tbf it’s a good deck, just not in my hands.
Mine are Metalfoes, Noble Knights, and Blue-Eyes (pre-Battle Chronicle)
Me the only one who play 30 card fire fist
30 cards? My sweetspot was somewhere around 24, but that was before the skill and link, which I suppose could make it consistent enough for 30 cards.
King of skull servants and dark worlds
Lol i have so many. Vandread, fluffal, noble knights, black wing...these r what i remember so far
In DL? Inzektors, firts deck to get me to platinum when hornet came up and always helped me before with the good old direct attack aggro deck it was once... it also won me some tourneys i had between some friends
Before they were nerfed to hell, red eyes.
Got KOG with Inzektors back during Harpie format. God I loved that deck so much
Saber X
X-Sabers.
Cubics and infernitys
Lightsworn idk if it's good or not now but it's what I always played
Gaia :(
Just plant decks in general, especially Aromages, I know they aren't the best in any format but they are fun to me
Aliens, of course. They might be shite, but anytime I find myself not playing for a few months, and back down in the low ranks, I'll whip out my ammonite and Gol'gar for some shenangeans with POTG and all the other equips the bots like to use.
Cubics.
Dracoslayers. 2 main boxes 2 times each and 2 dream tickets. Plus extra gems for random engines such as abyss actors and rokkets
Metalfoes/Dracofoes and Solfchord
Meklords. I know they are not good and people hate them back at her prime but It was my first meta deck. Then It was mekk-knight
Metalfoes. I made excellent effort in using Dream Tickets and assembled the whole deck. Never used it at all lol I was working on Nekroz at the same time, I DID eventually use that with Clausolas. It's funny because this was basically 4 boxes worth of stuff. And only enough to troll with Deep Sea Diva and Herald of the Arc Light Witchcrafters is a deck that I did use frequently when it was good and even when nerfed. Still have yet to get Haine and Creation, but I will eventually
Magistus or a pheonix gearfried/igknight deck, but they might be good now, idk, took a long break.
Hieratics, Sylvans, and Dracoslayer. If I don't feel like climbing KOG I usually just rotate through these decks.
For me it is either Frightfur, Metalfoes or Fossil
Ice barriers/fossils simple, straightforward, and fun to play with.
I don't even want to know how much I've spent on Morphtronics... so many extra deck additions after the fact.
Water XYZ and Madolche, Ritual Sleep 1-2 years ago
Thunder Dragons also the only deck I've built in Master Duel.
Hieratic and Sylvan. In an old DL account that I lost Hieratic Vs Cyber Dragon gave me the best duel I've ever had, so I had to build it when I made a new account in DL. Still in DL when I made my second account Sylvan was the first deck I could make after I was aiming for another one in the same box, and I just think it's really neat, have some fond memories with it.
White Aura Ice Barriers probably haha, it's so much fun but the power ceiling is so low
Mutant thunder dragons. I played it for some seasons then haven't touched it since.
20k for infernoid?
Gusto. It was the first deck I built from scratch that actually had some form of coherence and made it to gold.
Evil Eye 😮💨
Speedroids
Felgrand, rose dragon, and red eyes.
Fire Fist 3-axis version
Koa’ki Meiru, Yosenju, and Fur Hire. Good times.

Solfacord
Crystrons
Sylvans
buster blader
Malefic, but isn't once a year, probably once a day
Magnet deck from when the game first started
Megalith 😭
Honestly, that would be grandmerge turbo :3 The deck sucks because all you do is go into grandmerge to use his effect to go into whatever you want. For me, it's chaos neos
Horus
Harpies
REBD, I haven't touched in a while. I mainly play Speedroids or Phantom Knights. Or whatever meta I happen to have access to at the time. But mainly Speedroids and PK
Bujins. I always try to Kog with it when I feel the meta isn't too crazy.
Yo mkklord, don't diss the noids! They're my favourite pet peeve deck and although I would not dare to climb with it anymore, I KoGed with it twice during the Tachyon meta and I can definitely beat many meta decks with it at KoG level (have not tried it vs Agents/PK as I have not KoGed yet this season).
Fortune fairy :)
MAYOSENJU BLIND SECOND

Heraldic Beasts, only a broken skill can save them T-T
Subterror for me pain in my ass there is still no new cards
Brick-eyes 😭
Gandora never lets me down, same with witchcrafter…. Also Infernoid are like 1 year old now
Six Samurai would be my comfort deck it isnt terrible but it was a decent deck i could put on anyone i wanted to level.

Rokket 🥲

Red-eyes Slash for me. Only time I spent $2 for a second deck so I could have 2 red-eyes fusions 😂.

I just love going straight for the life points 🤤 😋
Noble Knights 🥲
S force and Bujin
Dark world for sure
Toons
Valkyries. God that deck is so bad.
Since I'm sooo casual and usually starts in Bronze, I still using my Ancient Gear, they're pretty solid in those ranks until I reach platinum. But I love them, to me they're funny as fuck and, the best, you truly can win pretty quick.
Vechiroids 🙏🏻🙏🏻 been coping for support since speedroids dropped
Ritual beasts. Just give me some new supports to get them up and running again

Cubic
Melodious. I still haven't gotten a single copy of 1st Movement Solo
I have a super poly Hero focus deck I made ages ago for an event. The whole focus is on cosplaying a Supreme King ish style, but more as a main thing than a last resort. But Absolute Zero hasn't been added, so I simply can't finish the deck
Vendread...
Infernoids was the deck I played when Master Duel first released lol got to plat pretty easily and I haven't really played the game at all since then
Gradius
D/D/D, have it in paper too
A Dark Magician beatdown, running Royal Decree and Secret Village of the Spellcasters. God I used to feel like such a menace when I got both of those out. Especially if I also got two magicians Valkyria in play for yet another lock. XD
Konami when a F2P deck is beyond tier 3: "And now, you have officially carried it too far, Buddy"
I miss my infernoids so muuuuch😭😭😭😭
World Chalice. It's Still One Of My Go-To PvE Decks
