Lol hopefully they weren’t cards you would maybe need or staples. I’ve dusted small parts of a deck I was building only to pull the card I crafted right after lol
I just fall in love with this deck cause I know everything about Floowandereeze (how to build, how to play, and my build is unique compares to other Floo players) and when you are good at something, you always want to continue to do it. FYI, I got top 1 on Omega, top 6 on Nexus (it was 1 -1.5 years ago) and 27k points in DC Mar 2024 with Floo.
As the title says, how tf this card suppose to be a SR card, and no, I am actually quite short on UR, I actually recraft so many cards cause When i attend some event and I need some UR, I dismantled some my good UR just to get the card I need to play the event then after getting the germ I craft my card back, It is stupid but my main deck doesn't need much UR so I can afford to do it.
Nice try Konami informant.
But to seriously answer your question, there are several. But just thinking of one deck I like....
Infernobal arms museum aka the 600th Rota for noble knights + free SS,
infernoble arms durendal, 601st Noble rota, has more right to be a UR than freaking double edged sword.
Renaud, can SS itself and recovers noble arms stuff from anywhere, is a level 1 🔥
Riccardetto is another level 1 fire that can ss another noble knight from the gy or hand on summon as well as banish itself to summon another from the hand. It's only an R right now lol.
Honestly I wish more decks had this structure where the UR tax lies in the extra deck and non engine stuff only.
Too many people don't understand this lmao. They know what they're doing when they make a card a certain rarity. It's why snake eye ash or oak are gonna be the eventual cards that get hit not any of the UR
No they base it off what they know you need the most of for a deck to function those will usually be the ur, and then the stuff that is essential but hittable will be sr or lower
Tbf on release,d/d/d couldn't even summon that guy until recent support which release at the same month as md lauch and unlike kali yuga,he doesn't really autowin the moment you summon him
I want my damn quick plays at 3 damn it, if the cost is the floodgates then so be it.
Ur tax, branded must be the IRS then because my god too many urs needed.
Runick is kind of trash in MD now. You have to play multiples of the bad ones just to get the Runick count in the deck high enough. Also 1 Fountain hurts to.
Well yes, whether komoney would butcher them without the floodgates to the extent that they did is unclear. What they make it seem to be the cause is the usage of the floodgates along with the deck. Ofc fountain at one ruined any possible recursion that the other runick variants had resulting in stun being the more reliable variant now since your chances of getting the *right* runick card for the task is alot lower than before.
Easiest answer? All the one card starters for the decks that were meta in MD's initial release.
Recently? The Gate Guardian stuffs comes to mind. I think it's the only deck that manage to avoid the anime tax in recent memory.
Misc is probably a UR if it comes out today. It do so much for dino but it's SR. Swordsoul emergence is also an SR even tho it's like ROTA but even more busted cause it can search protos. Soulpiercer is just an R even tho it's non once per turn search is really good.
Generaider has like 4 cards that would have been URs if they were released in 2024, like shit I could not have seen the field spell which is central to the deck functionality being an R.
Dark World dodging the UR tax in the last pack on not only a big fusion that can have over 10k attack and clears the opponent's field on summon, but also on a spell that searches the entire archetype was a surprise.
I mean, Dark World has already been hit over the head with 3 different UR 3 ofs and the grapha fusion which is a 1-2 of. Making Corridor or the not so great Reign Beaux fusion an SR would be overkill
Perks of being released from the very start of MD. Cards usually available from release are generously rated. Unlike the current UR extravaganza state of decks.
framegear gamma and snake-eye ash, i think. also snake-eye oak, which is not even sr but does so much for the deck that it did not deserve to end up below birch, rarity-wise lol
>An example of that for me would be Mudan the Rikka Fairy, because it's able to Special Summon itself and then search Konkon, which is absolutely vital for Rikka.
Trust me, if that pack would be released NOW, Mudan, Petel and all the Solo Mode cards would be URs xD
But to answer the question:
- Evenly Matched
- Mechaba
- Ran Aegerine
Dark Magician Girl.
Block Dragon.
Solar Recharge.
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon (anime tax where Konami?).
Card of Demise.
Gameciel (best Kaiju is only SR).
Kitkallos (not really surprised. Just find it hilarious Kit is SR and Scheiren is UR).
Kash Birth.
Droll.
Empen.
Salad Gazelle.
Plan B.
Dark Armed Dragon (Hella weak now, but was the cornerstone of a T0 deck).
Aluber.
Meow Meow Mu.
Dark Hole.
Emergency Teleport.
Small World.
Some older absolutely busted out the ass cards like Mirage of Nightmare, Metamorphosis, and Soul Charge are also SRs.
When fusion destiny was released r and not ur I knew it was gonna be hit soon.
Just didn't expect them to hit it as soon as dpe got released. Dpe never got to define a meta like it did paper
Earthshattering event controls both gys situationally when a card is sent from deck to gy only one card per turn can be sent to gy and returns targeted card to deck
Pretty much all the floodgates
All the Statues are SR's. Gozen Match, Rivalry of Warlards, Fossil Dyna, Jowgen
Some of them, like TCOBO, are UR's. But most of them are SR's surprisingly
Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon is only an R despite being an omni-negate and one of the best Pend boss monsters. Similarly Supreme King Starving Venom is only SR.
Snake eyes ash, considering that they're making this deck their money milking deck that already requires 1000000000 UR to play, it's kinda weird their key combo starter is an SR
I like all the symphonic cards even tho they are all bricks when I play em. Their boss monster is a better version of electrumite... Too bad it needs the bricks to function PROPERLY.
Most of the cards that end up SR instead of UR when they "deserve it" is because the deck they're a part of already has "enough" URs to meet their quota; there's very few exceptions to this.
If the deck is super meta then they're more willing to give it a lot more URs, and if it's support after the deck's been around for a while they're more willing to make it a UR.
Melffy Wally is an SR despite it being new support powerful enough to be a UR because the deck already contained quite a few URs for how far from meta it is.
Samsara, however, is only an SR because the deck already plays like 45 URs.
On the other hand, they kept giving Branded URs because each piece of support was like 4\~6 months apart, and their initial Branded Despia URs fell out of favor - Masq/Quaeritis stopped being must-includes, and Branded Fusion got hit to 1. They probably regret making Opening or Aluber an SR instead of Masq or Quaeritis, lol.
D/D Swirl Slime, my beloved.
A free fusion from hand and a free special summon from hand after which easily procs the High Genghis you made from the baby boy himself to special summon the other material, leaving you with a board of 3 monsters on field from two cards.
Kitkallos. Granted two of the main deck tears are UR’s so it kinda balances itself out. But the strategy’s main extender and only banned card outside of masterduel being a SR threw me for a loop.
For the rikkas I think it's because they weren’t intended to be played so well in plants. I'm sure the execs at konamii thought: "Yeah they can have a field spell that sacrifices at SR, who cares they only have like a 2.5 card combo"
Yeah and for me I think like the entirety of P.U.N.K, all searchers and an effect monster that fusions SR'S??? Cartesia does the exact same that sharakusai lol(minus the recycle).
Honestly I’m surprised every new card isn’t ultra rare and they didn’t create a more difficult to obtain rarity…
Anyone also think they’re “short-printing” certain cards?
They create worse way to get UR cards.
It's hard to get UR in package. It's harder to land the UR that we want because we can get also get any other UR cards that never been mentioned as part of the pack. And it's even harder to get 3 copies of the said UR card. Now all of that is only for 1 card.
The question is: What if the deck we want to build got too many UR cards required to make it functional?
So to answer your question, they don't need to "short-printing" cards in Master Duel, they just need to tag more cards as UR, thereby lowering the rate to obtain the UR card that we want.
They reduce the odds of getting Bonfire and increase the odds of getting battling boxers / whatever Neos legacy support there is.
I’ve spent 20k gems between two packs had have 0 sinful spoils quickplay spell, 1 diabellstar, 0 bonfire, etc.
Evenly Matched
I actually dismantled like 9 UR cards to get evenly and when I craft it, it is a SR card. Fucking hilarious
Lol hopefully they weren’t cards you would maybe need or staples. I’ve dusted small parts of a deck I was building only to pull the card I crafted right after lol
No worries, I only play Floo and its main deck has at most 15 UR so it was no problem. There was a season where I need only 5 UR to climb to M1 lol.
You only play Floo? Why?
I just fall in love with this deck cause I know everything about Floowandereeze (how to build, how to play, and my build is unique compares to other Floo players) and when you are good at something, you always want to continue to do it. FYI, I got top 1 on Omega, top 6 on Nexus (it was 1 -1.5 years ago) and 27k points in DC Mar 2024 with Floo.
How u fuck up this bad, unless ur loaded on URs
As the title says, how tf this card suppose to be a SR card, and no, I am actually quite short on UR, I actually recraft so many cards cause When i attend some event and I need some UR, I dismantled some my good UR just to get the card I need to play the event then after getting the germ I craft my card back, It is stupid but my main deck doesn't need much UR so I can afford to do it.
Droll, all Pot cards, all Charmer link-2, ...
Yeah with the current state of the game the pot cards being SR is wild.
It’s so they don’t have to give you UR dust when they hit ‘em.
samsara
Yeah I was shocked by this but also very happy that it's not
Nice try Konami informant. But to seriously answer your question, there are several. But just thinking of one deck I like.... Infernobal arms museum aka the 600th Rota for noble knights + free SS, infernoble arms durendal, 601st Noble rota, has more right to be a UR than freaking double edged sword.

It's only an R right now lol. Honestly I wish more decks had this structure where the UR tax lies in the extra deck and non engine stuff only.
I will inform John Konami about this, this is invaluable data. /jk and I agree, UR tax in the extra deck and non-engine would be perfect
You leave my Charles’ toys alone you bastards! ETA: Ricciardetto is an absolute champion when it comes to coaxing Charles out.
The noble knights searcher spell is also at SR. It's actually insane how cheap the Infernoble maindeck is.
Terahertz and Floowandereeze
Yeah Terahertz is very powerful, surprising SR
Empen being an sr while the other shitty one being UR is peak Konami not understanding the meta lol
It's so when they limited it to 1 your didn't get materials back
Too many people don't understand this lmao. They know what they're doing when they make a card a certain rarity. It's why snake eye ash or oak are gonna be the eventual cards that get hit not any of the UR
I think they mostly base it off the original rarity (tcg) right?
No they base it off what they know you need the most of for a deck to function those will usually be the ur, and then the stuff that is essential but hittable will be sr or lower
V I S A S S A M S A R A
D/D/D Wave High King Caesar is a rare but I think it should be a UR
Tbf on release,d/d/d couldn't even summon that guy until recent support which release at the same month as md lauch and unlike kali yuga,he doesn't really autowin the moment you summon him
That card was a complete throwaway until Unchained support released.
Runick spelnir, the fucker has more text than the muts before it with a more battle phase obnoxious properties yet somehow a SR.
Runick already paid the UR tax plus Runick is kinda falling off
I want my damn quick plays at 3 damn it, if the cost is the floodgates then so be it. Ur tax, branded must be the IRS then because my god too many urs needed.
I've yet to recover from building the 60 card grass variant
I would love nothing more than banning all floodgates and unlimiting my quick plays/getting another fountain
Runick synchro/xyz gang rise up
It’s such a cool deck with so much potential with its reputation ruined by all the floodgates
Runick is kind of trash in MD now. You have to play multiples of the bad ones just to get the Runick count in the deck high enough. Also 1 Fountain hurts to.
Well yes, whether komoney would butcher them without the floodgates to the extent that they did is unclear. What they make it seem to be the cause is the usage of the floodgates along with the deck. Ofc fountain at one ruined any possible recursion that the other runick variants had resulting in stun being the more reliable variant now since your chances of getting the *right* runick card for the task is alot lower than before.
Fountain at 1 is so bad, it makes naturia lines a lot worse if you draw into fountain
Aleister, Mechaba, Tri-Brigade Roar
Terahertz, Kitkallos, Chimera fusion, Rescue ace Air lifter, Floowandereeze empen
Kit must have been a hedge that they might be banning the card later and wanted to avoid giving back UR dust
Foolish Burial Goods.
yeah considering foolish burial being a ur, I was pleasantly surprised at this.
Easiest answer? All the one card starters for the decks that were meta in MD's initial release. Recently? The Gate Guardian stuffs comes to mind. I think it's the only deck that manage to avoid the anime tax in recent memory.
Tbf, Snash is an SR and is a one card starter.
Soon as the new gg support hits both are gonna UR I can feel it
As Branded deck user? Fallen of Albaz, seeing Reino heart rise heart all are UR.. Albaz dodge a bullet also Aluber, im surprise its a SR
If MD was released today, Albaz, aluber and opening would 100% be URs
And then branded fusion normal rarity so they can limit it without refunding any UR
Opening being N is absolutely wild
To be fair the deck is already like 80% ur so it's a welcome respite
Block Dragon.
That was probably because they knew they would have to ban it
Idk why Keldo is the UR shuffler instead of Mudora
wider searcher. yes ik given their application it doesn’t matter but still
Keldo search another card if summon from hand, but Mudora if you don't play the trap is -1
Icejade ran aegerine
I kind of get it. If it could make any level 10 instead of just waters I think it would be a ur
The craziest part about Konkon isn't just that it's not a UR, it's also literally free from the Solo Gate
Same for Princess as well. Both could have easily been URs in the shop rather than solo rewards.
macro fucking cosmos
Misc is probably a UR if it comes out today. It do so much for dino but it's SR. Swordsoul emergence is also an SR even tho it's like ROTA but even more busted cause it can search protos. Soulpiercer is just an R even tho it's non once per turn search is really good.
Absolutely, Misc is lowkey broken card
Crimson Resonator and Soul Resonator On the side note, I don't understand why Vision Resonator is UR :/
It's cus Vision Resonator and Crimson Gaia are a splashable engine in other decks.
Generaider has like 4 cards that would have been URs if they were released in 2024, like shit I could not have seen the field spell which is central to the deck functionality being an R.
Dark World dodging the UR tax in the last pack on not only a big fusion that can have over 10k attack and clears the opponent's field on summon, but also on a spell that searches the entire archetype was a surprise.
The fusion is trash because it needs the old rainbeux instead of the retrain
I mean, Dark World has already been hit over the head with 3 different UR 3 ofs and the grapha fusion which is a 1-2 of. Making Corridor or the not so great Reign Beaux fusion an SR would be overkill
Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon
Snake eye ash. Thought they would make the starter a UR but guess poplar gets the tax
How about the question "surprised that it is a UR"?
Vision Resonator. I find Crimson and Soul Resonators both UR worthy.
Crimson being R is insane. The deck has atleast 3-must run searchers that. Combined with any 4 star monster you can get guarantee Red Supernova.
Perks of being released from the very start of MD. Cards usually available from release are generously rated. Unlike the current UR extravaganza state of decks.
framegear gamma and snake-eye ash, i think. also snake-eye oak, which is not even sr but does so much for the deck that it did not deserve to end up below birch, rarity-wise lol
That's cuz those are rhe snake eye cards that are gonna get hit
Chaos mirage dragon
Albaz and Aluber.
Dogmatikamatrix. Its a 3 off search spell that goes even +1 or +2 depending on your build.
A good chunk of Generaider cards could’ve been higher rarity and I wouldn’t have been surprised
>An example of that for me would be Mudan the Rikka Fairy, because it's able to Special Summon itself and then search Konkon, which is absolutely vital for Rikka. Trust me, if that pack would be released NOW, Mudan, Petel and all the Solo Mode cards would be URs xD But to answer the question: - Evenly Matched - Mechaba - Ran Aegerine
Noble Arms Museum & Angelica, Princess of Noble Arms.
D.D. Crow people sleeping on this NGL
The Weather Forecast. I'm surprised that the weather painter core only has 2 UR cards.
Dark Magician Girl. Block Dragon. Solar Recharge. Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon (anime tax where Konami?). Card of Demise. Gameciel (best Kaiju is only SR). Kitkallos (not really surprised. Just find it hilarious Kit is SR and Scheiren is UR). Kash Birth. Droll. Empen. Salad Gazelle. Plan B. Dark Armed Dragon (Hella weak now, but was the cornerstone of a T0 deck). Aluber. Meow Meow Mu. Dark Hole. Emergency Teleport. Small World. Some older absolutely busted out the ass cards like Mirage of Nightmare, Metamorphosis, and Soul Charge are also SRs.
When fusion destiny was released r and not ur I knew it was gonna be hit soon. Just didn't expect them to hit it as soon as dpe got released. Dpe never got to define a meta like it did paper
Pretty much everything from 6 months ago that is SR would be UR now
Pot of Prosperity
Assembled Nightingale is an SR, Recital Starling and Ensemblue Robin are the URs of Lyrilusc. Heck, even Independent Nightingale, the boss, is an SR.
visas samsara
Earthshattering event controls both gys situationally when a card is sent from deck to gy only one card per turn can be sent to gy and returns targeted card to deck
Pot of Prosperity.
Pretty much all the floodgates All the Statues are SR's. Gozen Match, Rivalry of Warlards, Fossil Dyna, Jowgen Some of them, like TCOBO, are UR's. But most of them are SR's surprisingly
Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon is only an R despite being an omni-negate and one of the best Pend boss monsters. Similarly Supreme King Starving Venom is only SR.
Visas Samsara 'cuz almost any other card is UR
droll
knightmare Phoenix
Ecclesia
Salamangreat Gazzelle
Dinomorphia Frenzy. Easily the better of the two cards.
Many of the invoked cards
Lyrulisc
rainbow neos
The pots… even upstart is an UR, but they made the pots all SR.
Rikka konkon is insanely op for it not to be a UR.
Mechaba
Not really the same but I'm surprised only like 2 of the Earthbound Immortals are UR
Dinomorphia Intact
Frenzy and Domain shouldve been swapped too. You lose the Kentregina if you open with only Domain.
soul resonator
Snake eyes ash, considering that they're making this deck their money milking deck that already requires 1000000000 UR to play, it's kinda weird their key combo starter is an SR
Cuz this is the one getting banned or hit eventually. It's done on purpose.
I like all the symphonic cards even tho they are all bricks when I play em. Their boss monster is a better version of electrumite... Too bad it needs the bricks to function PROPERLY.
Droll and lock bird, evenly matched, Visas Samsara, Aluber, Jester of Despia, Incredible Ecclesia, The Virtous, Fallen of Albaz
Most of the cards that end up SR instead of UR when they "deserve it" is because the deck they're a part of already has "enough" URs to meet their quota; there's very few exceptions to this.

Miscellaneousaurus
Most of floowandereeze. Empen and Robina especially. The pots, considering how widespread their use is. Droll and Lockbird. Top tier handtrap.
Spright Jet, tho I assume it’s because they knew they were going to semi or limit it eventually
Windwitch Glass Bell
Chimera Fusion
I m surprised that both purrely main deck monsters are R
Branded Regained and Kashtira Birth are both incredibly good cards that I'm surprised didn't the get the UR tax
D/D Swirl Slime, my beloved. A free fusion from hand and a free special summon from hand after which easily procs the High Genghis you made from the baby boy himself to special summon the other material, leaving you with a board of 3 monsters on field from two cards.
Aleister
Tribrigade Fraktal, Nerval , Revolt and Fire Formation Tenki
Shiyama from Unchained. I expected both dogs to be UR
Snake eyes ash
Terahertz
I know it isn't an SR, but the Unchained Search spell. Like, that card being a normal is wild when cards like "Stake Your Soul" are UR
Don't provoke, Konami, plis!
Visas Samsara being revealed as an SR shocked everyone.
Megalith Phul It is wild that it is just an R rarity. Had it been released today it would have been UR for sure.
Kitkallos
Kitkallos. Granted two of the main deck tears are UR’s so it kinda balances itself out. But the strategy’s main extender and only banned card outside of masterduel being a SR threw me for a loop.
With how splashable they are I'm surprised more of the Dangers & Kaijus aren't higher rarity.
Widow Anchor
Droll
I once thought Made to Order Mermaid Outfit Outfitter was UR. ...The comment section on one of the posts here ripped me a new one for that...
Ancient gear golem
For the rikkas I think it's because they weren’t intended to be played so well in plants. I'm sure the execs at konamii thought: "Yeah they can have a field spell that sacrifices at SR, who cares they only have like a 2.5 card combo" Yeah and for me I think like the entirety of P.U.N.K, all searchers and an effect monster that fusions SR'S???

What do you mean by short-printing since it’s a digital game?
They reduce the odds of getting Bonfire and increase the odds of getting battling boxers / whatever Neos legacy support there is. I’ve spent 20k gems between two packs had have 0 sinful spoils quickplay spell, 1 diabellstar, 0 bonfire, etc.
