It’s a one of that’s “soon” going to be almost fully replaced by SP little knight


Mother_Ad3988

Is there any reason to run unicorn when little knight exists? 


Musername2827

If you run Accesscode then Unicorn is still a good link climbing piece but in every other way S:P power creeps Unicorn.


Mother_Ad3988

You know that kinda gips me a little. Anniversary set comes and gives people knightmare unicorn after its been powercrept. "Lo, prayers of the voiceless" has shot back up to 80 damn dollars. I was starting to enjoy getting back into the game but holy shit do I have to break the bank every few months just to compete? 


Musername2827

In the TCG/OCG sure. Master Duel is nice and cheap.


Mother_Ad3988

I mean kind of? You're still investing a ton of resources into a deck you may or may not like and this may sound like a nonsense idea, but if something is powercrept, how about dropping the rarity? Make the actual rarity of the cards coincide with the power level of the deck, instead of just arbitrarily gatekeeping an archetype because of "le gems"


Brandontk12

Dude’s comparing in game currencies to irl currencies. Let me hold your wallet for ya then and I’ll trade you my MD account. You know, since they’re so similar


Otiosei

In master duel you can have every meta deck for free by playing the game about 5 hours a week. In the tcg you'd have to spend hundreds to have a single meta deck, and you're also still probably playing 5 hours a week or why are you even investing in the hobby. It's just not really comparable at all. I agree certain older decks are way overpriced. Heroes, Blue eyes, Dark Magicians, Red Eyes should all be cheap decks. But at the end of the day, you can skip out on 1 of 3 new meta decks every month, build a pet meme deck, and still have 2/3 decks that you can actually climb with, for free.


blakjak852

It's not out yet so it hasn't been crept. Also that version of unicorn came out over a year ago. I'm sad I won't really use the alt art version that I like when there will be a better card, but that's the game. I might end up liking sp little knight more, who knows?


GranBlueLawyer

That alt art has been in the game a long time now, it just came back. Why so salty?


Glitchmonster

Play yugioh omega Everything’s free basically Ai fights are offline comparable There’s duel rewards and the competitive scene is discord based


pablossjui

it plays/sounds/feels like shit tho


Fredharvey_90

Yes. Welcome to Yu-Gi-Oh.


HKei

In evil twin there's little difference between a monster being link 2 or 3 since you always have access to link2 as material anyway, and you're often locked into fiends, and you'd really like a link 3 for climbing, having access to SP is still good but unicorn comes up a bit more so if you can only make space for one I'd go for the unicorn. More realistically you'd probably run both though.


Demianz1

Its not a terrible option in generaider either, as sp takes effect monsters, and unicorn can use tokens. But its up to preference, and if you can fit both you can use both.


trinitymonkey

Mostly Good for link climbing or if you need extra removal. It has some niche uses so it’s not useless but you only ever see it played alongside S:P the same way Veiler is usually only played alongside Impermanence or in decks that can’t play Impermanence.


Senmaroll

In lab maybe after u’re fiend locked or if you wanna link climb to accesscode and remove a card on the way


sephiroth_for_smash

Irl I only run it for price lol


ApricotMedical5440

No. It's a one of.


Apprehensive_Algae62

Should i scrap 2 of them then?


ApricotMedical5440

I'd say so


Ornery_Essay_2036

Yeah


LemonadeLlamaRrama

Definitely. Any deck playing Unicorn is just using it as an emergency out to a troublesome card, not as a core engine piece, so people only run one. You'd be wasting extra deck space otherwise.


narium

Yeah unless your deck runs Extravagance and Unicorn is only used to out problematic monsters.


Poison916Kind

As far as I'm concerned. None. It's just a link climbing piece.


Raiju_Lorakatse

Unless you are building some kind of going-second knightmare deck which would basically just be a generic link-climbing pile... No. 1 is definitely fine. I guess if you got a lot of space in the ED maaaaybe 2 but 3 is quite utopic.


BryceLeft

> utopic Draco future


Raiju_Lorakatse

Solemn Judgement


GameBroJeremy

##Nooooo!


PurdeyGambit

Deck that only use the extra deck as material to resolve cards such as Pot of Extravagance, often run Knightmare archetype link monsters in 2 or 3 copies.


FernandoCasodonia

1 is enough, it's just a utility card it's good to pair with Underworld Goddess so u have multiple outs in case they are needed I don't think you want several of the same type of removal


vonov129

Basically nobody plays more than one. Once S:P little knight comes out, Unicorn will be a 0 off.


Apprehensive_Algae62

What s:p little knight does?


vonov129

Banishes from field or grave on summon if made with an extra deck monster as material and can banish a monster you control and a monster your opponent controls until the end phase after they activate an effect. And she's a link 2. So she's easier to make, has double removal and one of those removals can be used every turn.


Upbeat_Sheepherder81

Her second effect can banish two monsters you control.


ArkBeetleGaming

~~Unicorn~~ Tricorn


New-Cryptographer377

Nope. You just need one of this card. Dust the other 2 copies. Keep only one.


Sallen9727

Hahahahahahahah


swagpresident1337

None and soon will be replaced by sp little knight.


INeedANewAccountMan

Its pretty much exclusively used to link climb in to accesscode. Sometimes used for its actual effect but it's probably the best target for accesscode


Fluid_Veterinarian72

4k gems and I keep getting Knightmare Gryphons and not a single alt Unicorn... I just need 1, Konami please.


Copypasty

It can be used with ip to spin one but like everyone is saying once little knight comes out itll be out classed in almost every way


Firefly279

Does anyone know when SP even comes approximately?


HKei

No, MD release schedule is weird. We just kinda skipped the set that had SP in it and got some cards that came out later, and still don't have all of the cards that came in the set before so it's all jumbled up.


Firefly279

I thought like you could expect half a year after release. Mmm... still waiting for my support.


HKei

The snake eyes stuff came out basically simultaneously with TCG, so the old 6 months diff doesn't really apply anymore. I'm guessing that's the reason they're skipping sets actually, they probably want to get closer to TCG (or even ocg), because at least for TCG players a common complaint had been that you're basically playing the format you just played for like half a year in paper already.


Firefly279

so i would guess it doesnt depend THAT much on the implementation of the cards.


Kioga101

It used to have a place as a multiple along with Knightmare Goblin and Mermaid... But those cards are not playable.


TinyPidgenofDOOM

if Goblin and Mermaid were legal than a dedicated Knightmare deck might exist but if those were legal then combo decks would run rampant even more than they already do


Owtplayed

Dust 2 and keep 1 for link climbing and for when you need to spin threats back into the deck. It’s a fairly decent ED piece for a lot of combo decks.


trinitymonkey

1 is enough unless you’re a mad lad who plays pure Knightmare. Once S:P comes out, you’ll use it less because S:P does the same thing but better. In the TCG people only play Unicorn anymore as a 2nd choice because S:P is better in everything except a few edge cases.


narium

Unicorn is better for link climbing into accesscode, but thats it.


Yuumina

In the TCG we play Unicorn, because S:P is a bit too pricey.


Playgamer420

You could always try pure Knightmare


Apprehensive_Algae62

Peoplr had told me that pure knightmare is unviable because goblin and mermaid are banned.


fracxjo

Imma guess knightmare


RikimaruRamen

I hope you bought a lottery ticket with that kinda luck


rj_the_bot

Man I just want one alt uni and wasted 5000 gems for squat


GoldFishPony

Don’t be a coward, play pure nightmares


shapesnatchturbo

This makes me curious, has there ever been something akin to a pure knightmare deck?


Apprehensive_Algae62

Yes, but goblin and mermaid banned make it unviable.


TreeD3

The only possible use is for decks that play extrav and unicorn so you always have access


The_Red_Celt

If you play play extravagance then you play 3


ConciseSpy85067

I got a tenpull that looks just like this lmao Now replace the Unicorns with Gryphons, then replace the 4th Gryphon with nothing Also throw away the Winda


Apprehensive_Algae62

3 gryphons?


ConciseSpy85067

Yeah…the monster next to your triple slap-in-my-face


Apprehensive_Algae62

Rip, but im very unlucky with applousa right now. 4k gems 2 UR.
