10 Yu-Gi-Oh! Decks you need to try that aren't Maxx "C" magnet

In the meta most especially in OCG and Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, we anticipate that you'll play against a myriad of handtraps you can ever imagine and in today's Metagame, going second without any disruptions against opponent plays could mean game over. Clearly, determining who goes first and second in the first game may predict your fate. 

While handtraps are our go to cards to control the pace of opponent's plays, you wouldn't want to experience the same destiny especially when your opponent would gain card advantage and that is through Maxx "C". 

Similar to Nibiru, the Primal Being, Maxx "C" puts pressure the moment it's used. Looking at the effect, it doesn't do anything to affect the field you are trying to establish but the creepy part is if you do, the player who resolved it would gain a lot of card advantage which would eventually make your established field futile. We always have a choice though either you take the challenge or you end your special summoning. Most of the time, it's always the latter choice....until I discovered, choosing decks that do not instantly get affected by Maxx "C". 

You saw that right! Today, we're going to list 10 decks/archetypes that can stand a chance even with roaches around. (And we'll sort it backwards 'cause why not) 

Is "Pure P.U.N.K" now viable? | Power of the Elements (POTE)

Will PH finally have its own ‘Card Con?’ Here’s our answer.

Why these 7 Yu-Gi-Oh! cards need to be reprinted ASAP?

(Rumbling) Do you hear that sound? (What sound?) That's the sound of people crafting their cards! Look, there's one dismantling their royal finish Obelisk!

In the advent of Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, your imagination (and patience) is your limit: Imagination as you can build whatever deck you desire and patience as you grind for gems so you can buy packs and get random URs and SRs which you can dismantle to generate almost any card that exists in Master Duel database. None of these can happen in real life but while we couldn't dismantle our card stashes and absolutely get any card we need, we can make these accessible. As a duelist on a budget myself, it's music in the ears when you hear the word REPRINT. Why though? Let's get started.

Here are the Top 10 MUST-HAVE cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel!

Hey everyone! Welcome to our very first article in February. Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel has been a very popular game since its release and it really caught the attention of existing, returning and new playerbase. While Master Duel has a great feature to dismantle unwanted cards and craft the cards you need with ease, with less exposure to the current OCG/TCG metagame, there's high probability that the crafted SRs and URs will turn into waste by getting cards that either doesn't benefit your deck's strategy or has little to no impact in the competitive scene. Which is why today, we're going to share the top 10 must-have cards whether you are just starting to play the game we love or if you want a baseline to build almost any deck!

Deck Analysis: Scareclaw "Isn't scary yet" because..

Hey everyone! Arcknight here. Today, we're going to deep dive on one of the newest archetype who debuted on Dimension Force (DIFO) and it's no other than Scareclaw. The deck has an interesting concept of swarming monsters to summon their boss monster Scareclaw Trich Heart where even Red-Eyes Dragoon will bow down. They also have their own level 4 monster that can instantly turn into a +2 in terms of overall card advantage when you have 3 or more defense position monsters. It really does prey on the weak but is it strong enough to face the current meta? That's what we're going to find out in this exclusive article!

In this article, we'll divide the analysis into 3: What worked, What didn't Work, What will work. As we anticipate a possible 2nd wave on the next sets, we expect that the supports they got are just the beginning. Let's dive in on the cards and strategies that worked for them.
