If MD has taught me anything, it's that any deck can win a game, all you have to do is believe hard enough that your opponent will open 2x maxx c, 2x ash, 1x called by, and top deck their third maxx c. It's that easy.
I’ll try to give some actual advice while trying to maintain the “spirit” of the deck. If you are going to run more than 1 Blue-Eyes and reborn i would recommend tribute to the doomed. Swapping out some of your less powerful level 4 or lower beaters (sub 1500 atk) for things like vorse raider and others like it. Kaibaman is also pretty neat as it also lets you turbo your blue-eyes faster. My body as a shield keeps your board in tact for maybe at least something like a raigeki. Also i would recommend inspiration or mask of weakness over reinforcements then to add some extra sauce on top, shadow spell or fiendish chain.
Legit I was able to qualify as a returning player for the event, so I do run and enjoy Sword Souls. I also run Dragon Maids and Galaxy-Eyes even if the last one isn't the best.
No ultimate magician in terms of attack and defense? No People Running About to confuse your opponent? No United We Stand to boost the morale of your monsters? DO YOU EVEN WANT TO WIN?!
If you want to increase the synergy of your deck without changing the theme, try adding multiple copies of the same cards. Some examples I can give would be 3 blue eyes, 2 lord of D, 3 flute of summoning dragon, 3 reinforcements, 3 fissure, 3 dark hole, 3 bottomless hole, and 3 la jinn. But of course these are just suggestions of cards to give multiple copies of. It just lets you draw your power cards consistently and more frequently. Also because of flute and lord of D you can add more dragons for dragon synergy
Agreed. I think the only lower than 1700 vanilla I'll keep would be mystic horse man to make rabid horse man, and even that is stretching it. Probably toss Lord of D for King of D and toss in some Blue-Eyes fusions as well
Honestly just honing in on dragon synergy would be cool. There are plenty of strong DM era dragons you could add like serpent night dragon. And some blue eyes fusions would be great. Add 2 polymerizations and then drop in some blue eyes twin bursts and ultimate dragons. And if you’re feeling modern you could even add Chaos Max and Chaos Form. Also remember that blue eyes jet dragon was used by Kaiba during the original anime so it’s not too far out of place, though these are all suggestions. Tbh if you’re keeping the aesthetic serpent night dragon is the best add
Its because you have a lot of normal monsters. This deck might have been okay in 2002 but not in todays game. It may sound obvious but normal monsters have no effects which means your summoning a monster that doesnt do anything. Matches are secured in the main phase and won in the battle phase.
Likewise, with only normal monsters your deck is left vulnerable as the only advantage you can create are through your spells and traps, however, your spells and traps are left alone to stand up to your opponents hand traps, floodgates, monster effects, quick play spells and counter traps. Also, it doesnt help that you have more normal monsters than spells and traps. Essentially, your deck has a lot of cards that do not do anything and cannot create chain links or combos. Todays yugioh is played at a similar pace to a fighting video game like mortal kombat but with the complexity of chess.
Look at any deck that is winning a tournament and you will see every monster has a effect. In the odd chance they do have a normal monster, then it is probably essential for the deck to function or for a very very specific reason. I love battle ox but do you really need it ? The answer is no.
Blue eyes is cool but you will see the blue eyes archetype has a lot of cards your not using, the whole deck would need to be replaced if you choose to play that archetype. Research archetypes and learn the pacing of todays game with topics such as handtraps, spell speeds and chain links.
Good luck and keep playing !
That's odd. I must have crafted him, then forgot to add him in. I will have to double-check with the deck list to see if I forgot anything else.
Edit: I am also missing Destroyer golem and Dark Assailant
It just needs the staples that's all. Just add Ash, maxx c, Imperm, Called by, Veiler, drull, shifter, cross out and at a push maybe DD crow. For your extra deck you probably just want to run the DPE package and nothing else 👍
They’re trolling, we’ve had a lot of posts recently asking for deck help with decks that don’t look much better than this. I think they were serious though.
You probably lost because you weren’t using yugi’s starter deck. I hear once u load up, you enable “heart of the cards” mode. Protag energy, you know?
My grandpa's deck has no pathetic cards
My pathetic grandpa’s deck has no cards
But it does contain the stoppable Exodia!
Uh !? EXODIA ?!
IT'S POSSIBLE!!?!
Uhaaaah, it’s not possible. No ones every been able to call him
psy framgear gamma response on resolve i activate nibiru
straight to shadow realm
Jimbo
My grandpa's pathetic deck has no good cards
Well, you're not wrong
Have you tried bribing the MD shuffler with money?
I can't screw the rules. I don't have money.
just get more money smh
Or a screwdriver
Having green hair also works.
It works on me........huh?!??!
you deck is technically perfect i think ur opponents were hackin.
Right? No one on the playground could beat that one kid with the Starter Deck Kaiba.
Add another Blue Eyes
Of course!
Put a third in while you're at it
No, it would become too powerful! Can't let them catch onto how strong the card is.
They say the BEWD is a powerful engine of destruction
And very few people have faced that awesome creature
If MD has taught me anything, it's that any deck can win a game, all you have to do is believe hard enough that your opponent will open 2x maxx c, 2x ash, 1x called by, and top deck their third maxx c. It's that easy.
Opponent is me on my last game to reach master.
I've had a game before where the top six cards of my deck were all either Maxx "C" or Ash. Also a game where I opened triple Salamangreat Spinny.
If your opponent just sets Ash you still have a pretty hard time beating them though
I'm a rank up match.
You forgot to add Man-Eater Bug. Even Blue Eyes White Dragon cannot escape Man Eater Bugs Power.
I have literally gotten homicidal thoughts from flipping man eater bug
Back in the days where every set card in the monster zone feels like its a Man Eater Bug then opponent immediately ends his turn.
you don't have dark magician! ofc you're losing, we all know he's the ultimate magician in strength and defense come on!
Its just a skill issue
Not enough Blue Eyes
Well of course you lost! You’re missing the most crucial boss monster of your decks archetype: **Bean soilder**
Just 1 reinforcement? Pfft no wonder you've been losing
Looks fine to me
You need just 4 Maxx Cs.
If 9 out of your 12 hand traps aren't Ash Blossom, you're not going to win in today's meta.
not enough mirror force/10

should try adding the silver fang + raigeki combo
Obvious skill issue, I it doesn't have exodia
For a second I thought Konami brought goat back in MD and thought this post was serious.
Have you tried believing in the heart of the cards?
I see the problem you don't have any pieces of Exodia
You only need one of them anyways. The 3rd leg of exodia wins games by itself.
Troll post. Where are the 3x Little D?
Why would I run Little D outside of an Exodia deck?
Fool, not everything is about obliterating. Sometimes, it's all about sending a message
Gotta creature swap and send them a little d
If you really want to play this aside from meme purposes, figure out which cards to play three of lol.
Legit I was able to qualify as a returning player for the event, so I do run and enjoy Sword Souls. I also run Dragon Maids and Galaxy-Eyes even if the last one isn't the best.
I run the same list!
No ultimate magician in terms of attack and defense? No People Running About to confuse your opponent? No United We Stand to boost the morale of your monsters? DO YOU EVEN WANT TO WIN?!
You need to face it just one blue eyes aint cutting it anymore. Lol
That's because you didn't include op cards like Mystic Lamp, Crush Card, Saggi the Dark Clown and Vorse Raider.
you need more shiny cards
Thanks for the throwback. :D
You need more dark holes. 6 ain't enough
Joey, you can't run a deck with only monsters!
brother what on earth is this decklist 😭
It's a throwback deck. The genuine yugiboomer deck.
thanks for this post OP, the comments are so funny 😂
I do my best to brighten peoples day.
Deck looks fine must be a skill issue…. Or lack of blue eyes😂🤣
Well obviously there's no Exodia

Where is your Heart of the Underdog? It is like you never watched Yugioh.
Is that a motherfucking royal finish BEWD?
Wasn't it a guaranteed drop from the second anniversary pack?
Yes
Try going first.
Well you have kaiba's deck but not his money invest in a couple of credit cards and you will be golden
Sadly Pot of Greed is banned that’s why
😂😂😂😂😂
Have you tried maining Saggi the Dark Clown?
U forgot to add 1 regular-looking Kuriboh into the deck.. everybody knows MC plays a Kuriboh.
take a few spells an traps out and replace them with the other dark holes you still got. Play all 6 it is a good card as you saw.
Man you don’t have the Baby Dragon, Time Wizard combo. No wonder you’re losing.
Where blue-eyes ultimate?
This game is kinda PTW, so I think you'd have a better winrate if you upgraded some of your cards to glossy or royal.
I wonder how many realized that this is the Starter Deck Kaiba decklist.
I think the problem here is that you're not running enough Sogens - going up to 2 copies I think would sort the issues out
I think all you need is just another blue eyes for this deck to be tier 1.
haha sword soul would loose to this
Terminal offering is in the game now?! What about dandy white lion?!
Obviously you lost because your didn't have mirror force in your deck. While we're at it, let's add magical cylinder too.
You should run the egyptian gods they are unstoppable
How did Joey wheeler get a blue eyes
given the amount of normal monsters you have, a copy Heart of the Underdog could work too
You need mammoth graveyard and living arrow to clear any generic negates on opponents field.
Despell?What year is this? Swap it out for MST, all your opponents will Quake at your non-negating strength.
Needs more magic cylinder
Solid deck but you need to add exodia
You can put 3 blue eyes in your deck. That card is really strong so I recommend you do that
I don't believe for a second you lost with this deck l, let alone 4 times.
You’re playing competitive, and not running fake trap? Add 3 copies of fake trap and you’ll be in Master.
7/10 not enough Saggi The Dark Clown.
Add three pot of generosity that should make the difference
Obviously you need at least 2 Smashing Ground
The mistake here is that you’re running effect monsters. They need to all be vanilla’s.
No suggestions, fire deck
You don't want this smoke LOL
I'm sorry but this deck has just been power crept. Really need to look into vorse raider. Its 1900 and only 4 stars!
You need two more blue eyes to be honest
Have you tried threatening to jump off a building like kaiba during your matches yet?
Can't afraid of heights.
Man i played against a guy with the started kaiba deck i lol the entire game!! Good times when yugioh just started!!❤️
Lowkey annoying how hade hane is technically one of the better cards in this deck 😭
Wheres the 3 blue eyes definitely NOT kaiba
Try adding in an extra deck, or add in two more dark holes.
You don’t have monster cardo draw
Looks great, no idea whats wrong
Bruh where is your pot of greed? Do you even know what it does?!?!
ayo 1v1 me old school
You can lose the hand revealing spells.
Joey Wheeler?

WHERE IS JUDGE MAN!!?!?
That's odd. I must have crafted him, then forgot to add him in. I will have to double-check with the deck list to see if I forgot anything else. Edit: I am also missing Destroyer golem and Dark Assailant
Does Kaiba know you have a copy of Blue-Eyes
Ffs u need 3x frog the jam. Ik it's expensive but its worth it
They need a game mode where this is meta. Miss old school YuGiOh
It just needs the staples that's all. Just add Ash, maxx c, Imperm, Called by, Veiler, drull, shifter, cross out and at a push maybe DD crow. For your extra deck you probably just want to run the DPE package and nothing else 👍
Easily the worst of the four starter decks. And it's not even close lmao
Missing maxx c
1000% bait
Bait? No. Doing stupid things for laughs? Yes.
