Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Been playing Super Quants and I noticed a weird quirk with Great Magnus that probably applies to a whole lotta other cards too? Great Magnus’s effect tiers are applied when it has 2+ material, 4+, and 6+, respectively, which I assumed meant “2 or more.” The card effects themselves are grayed out though when I have the number listed, and so I guess those tiers are actually “more than 2,” “more than 4,” and “more than 6”? It’s doubly confusing when I check the actual card and it explicitly says “2 or more.”

Well now you can run a third to get the Blue Ranger out more consistently! :v:

Or an amazing turnaround victory.

I wish the replay woulda let me see what the guy had in hand, but honestly, without a Kaiju or something, I don't know what you could do to overcome Great Magnus and Magna Blaster from a clean board.

You know, I can’t say I’ve ever found an opportunity to actually use that card as anything but Green Layer discard fodder.

Yeah I think the easiest way out there would be to somehow use my boss monsters as materials as either fusion fodder or kaiju tributes? I also realized that King Magnus could be destroyed by an opposing Magnaliger, but I dunno that most decks should even run that as a splash option.

So far, my favorite out for dealing with combinations of "is unaffected by card effects" and "can't be destroyed by battle" is Underworld Goddess of the Closed World. I realize that a Kaiju or Lava Golem would be cheaper, but I've also had exactly one opponent not scoop the moment she got on the field... and he tried to torrential her and scooped when it didn't work.

I added her to my deck and she came in handy for my promotion duel for Platinum 5, so thanks for the idea! Having her just stop my opponent from trying to pull a Blue-Eyes out repeatedly never got old.

Is it foolish and reckless going for a turn 1 Great Magnus with 7 materials when my opponent Maxx C's? Yes, but drat its fun seeing if they can come up with something to deal with him.

Left Shark Crooked Cook isn't immune to being tributed, or piercing damage, and if you manage to summon something else to their side of the field you can punch it right the 700 defense nose.

I was running Super Quants and I opt not to run the trap card that grants piercing damage because I don’t really find many good uses for it. Maybe I should add one so I can loving deal with the Crooked Cook!!!

I bounced between a bunch of decks but I'm currently taking the event as an excuse to learn D/D and I'm having a lot of fun with the playstyle even if it is kinda limited with what options I have available.

There’s a new bot that just wastes your time in a bid to get you to surrender so as not to waste your time. I had like 6 of them in a row on my way up from Gold 2 to Plat 5, I thought I was gonna just get a straight shot up to Plat without any hassle but the last guy was an actual person.

So what decks do people think are going to be good for Highlander

I modified a HERO deck I built for Fusion Fest for this. Not having Verte Anaconda or Fusion Destiny just means that I have less of a focus on DPE and I spent more of my test plays turboing out Malicious Bane.

Sure, but then they probably don't have much they could respond to your hypothetical board with. They don't know you've got a hand of bricks and if they don't wanna sit through your turn, I can see why they'd just scoop.

I’m surprised there hasn’t yet been a Castle of Dark Illusions link monster that has protection for any monsters it points to. Seems like a pretty obvious way to retrain that card and integrate its Duelist Kingdom usage!

something prevented Buerillabaise from triggering off of Staff Recipe, please let me know if you can figure out what it was).

The first four Nouvelles courses are worded as “When” triggers, so they are optional and thus, priority passes to your opponent if you try to be proactive about firing off their effects so they have the option to respond and if they do, you have missed the timing and no longer have a window to bring out the next dish. It’s really annoying!

I’ve been waiting for Nouvelles Meat Man for ages now, but I dunno if he’s making it into the set after this upcoming one. As it is, they play a pretty fun control game that’s frustratingly annoying to trigger on your own terms. I run a Dogmatika build because Concours giving your opponent a fusion monster turns on Ecclesia and matrix so you can go insanely hard in generating card advantage and turboing out Alba Zoa. Also being able to send cards from your own extra deck can help seed your own plays; I run Infernoble Knight Captain Roland in the extra so I can send him to the GY with Dogmatika Maximus so he can target and equip himself to a warrior monster on the field at quick effect speed.
