r/YGO_Genesys

Oh hey!

I've been looking at getting into Yugioh with Genesys and found myself gravitating towards Zombie World. Super Polymerization is one of my favorite cards to play, Doomking Balerdroch reads like a card that could thrive in Genesys without being overly complex, and the new Pumpking retrain were reasons why I wanted to play this deck. With that said, I know there are several cards that I'm playing that while potentially swingy and flashy, aren't feeling like the best options for the deck. I'm further feeling completely lost with what to fill in the Extra Deck, I have a better idea about the sideboard since I can fit eight 1 point side cards but need to familiarize myself with the meta more before I commit to anything. Really, I'm mostly just looking for advice on what should be in the main deck in addition to any other suggestions for filling out the rest of the list. Thank you in advance!

I have been trying out the Darklord stuff, but I can't figure out what the 6 other pieces of non-engine I should be running. Right now, I have the Mulcharmy package in the theory that I could draw into a herald or a droplet if I go second game one, though I'm not sure If I should just main board more blow out going second cards for that.

I'm also not sure about the side deck. I know I need the Heavy poly's when I know I'm going second, but i'm on the fence about the rest of it. Just looking for some guidance. I'm sure the heralds will be pointed before long and totally undo what all I'm planning.

Thoughts on my deck. I dont have a side deck I kind of wanted to have another tri-kit brigade in there.

What do you think? Advice etc

This is the list I've messed around with and really enjoyed. But I haven't seen anyone else playing the deck despite it being pretty popular in TCG for a while. Just seems strange and I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing or not understanding.

Brought RDA to locals after testing a little online recently with all new stuff. Deck feels really good & the added consistency is wonderful. Against decks like Blackwing & BEWD for example I just demolished with typical RDA aggro. More layered boards were an issue to play into going 2nd. Magnets for example were especially difficult to play against since they can turn all face up monsters into Earth, having bounces, monster pops (with steal) & negates.

As usual, not running Illusion Gate since I expect it to be pointed soon. Was sorely missing the play-set of Raigeki the previous deck build had. Book of Eclipse was decent & Gravity Collapse in main deck can be a rude shock for the opponent.

Hypernova doesn’t seem worth the resource investment after testing, despite the lines barely being harder than for Supernova. Which is why I didn’t opt to run it.

Overall I didn’t do much testing of the new stuff prior to it coming out TCG side, so there’s optimisations to be made. I did try Branded synchro package in testing but the conflicting locks & points made it not worthwhile if trying to use synchro Ecclesia. Without that card, FotWD & x3 Ecclesia & x1 Kitt is fine for extra engine into Crimson King.

I posted a dedicated train deck prior to the updated point announcement, but quite a few people pointed out some interesting techs - most notably, Subspace Battle. Now that the points are out and after playing around a bit, I realized that none of the new Train cards (with one exception) have a lock on them. So now I present Rank-10 Turbo.

Essentially any 2 level 10’s makes Flying Launcher which unlocks your entire line of Trains, so we’re running all the easy to summon 10s, the most interesting tech being Malefic Cyber End who is a free, non-OPT, level 10 machine if you have a field spell (which you’re running 9 copies of). It’s also a guaranteed add off Subspace Battle (typically you’re picking both Cyber Ends and Night Express, but the Kaiju is also a good option going 2nd). The deck can go first or second, going first you’re making Varudras, Mercurium, Gustav Rocket, and Citadel. Going second, you’re looking to break their board and otk.

We’re running Shaddoll in the side because, not only is it a powerful going 2nd engine that makes a level 10 Earth Machine, but Wendi is a Wind monster you can run to get in the gy for Mercurium if you know your opponent is running something like RT. I am open to more nuanced side-deck options, but I haven’t REALLY gotten to playtest that aspect, yet.

Open to suggestions, but in my testing up to this point, it’s super consistent and flexible!

Another Magnet Warrior win on the Austrian Nationals. We have a decklist for Crystron and Ice Barrier.

Announced with the new points update

So I’ve been seeing some decks side this card, and I’m not feeling it. I understand I don’t have to play it, but I want some insight on what I’m not seeing so I can potential add a card to my side that would have me better equip for upcoming big events. I have a friend that mentioned it’s good against monarch, and I can see that, but what else is this showing to be highly useful against? I’m probably never running into matches where this card feels appropriate, but that doesn’t change the fact that in a ycs, it’s far different than my local or even duelingbook, thank you guys for your time!

I'm rather new to Genesys so I don't know all the point value on different cards so I just wanna know what other people would suggest as hand traps, board breakers, etc.

Edit 1: updated deck list below

Hey guys making a deck with the new support for rank 10 plays.

Any advice/ tips or tricks are always welcome.
