She’s toxic as hell, but I love all the wacky things you can do with Isolde.

Was that an Unchained mirror??? So cool

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely haven’t done a good job of keeping up with competitive news (or really yu-gi-oh news in general), but you can expect that to change at least a little bit - I’m planning to post a lot of content about the World Championship.

Sure! Welcome aboard.

Heroes are always very cool, and 245 is honestly pretty cheap nowadays.

Mathmech could be another option maybe? I didn’t do my own price list like you did, but a lot of the lists here look decently competitive: https://yugiohtopdecks.com/decks/Mathmech. Kurikara and Thrust are the biggest expenses, and I feel like both are helpful but not mandatory.

Bro I’d be livid

For Monarchs specifically, I think it would be cool to give them some spells/traps that can be activated from hand. That way Morganite becomes a more viable choice.

Another option that would be cool (but maybe not balanced?) would be a special summonable little guy with an effect like “If this card is tributed for the tribute summon of a monster with 2400 attack and 1000 defense, any effects of the tribute summoned monster that activate upon being summoned can apply twice.” Double Caius banish/Thestalos rip would be very funny.

Makes sense - Droll shuts down a lot of very strong decks.

Hmm, good question. A deck that I would call “straightforward” is Floowandereeze . . . but I’m not sure you’ll make many friends at locals if you play it!

Maybe try Swordsoul or Gold Pride? Swordsoul generally sets up two powerful synchros as an end board and feels strong but fair to play against. Gold Pride is just a cool deck with fun thematics that can still flex its muscles a bit.

My le zeus . . . It . . . Le sent cards from field to grave???
