Is this another internet "mystery" attempt as Cicada 3301?

I'm just a regular poster posting their stuff, lol.

https://imgur.com/IcZWLKa Going to remove the Gigaplant FTK deck, was a nice flashback from https://www.pojo.biz/board/showthread.php?t=1307923 so while it will still be on my thread, it will not be in my decklists on DB atm.

https://imgur.com/pjuBx8B Wanted to give some different variations of Salamangreat a try. https://www.pojo.biz/board/showthread.p ... 47&page=15 The discussion on this page started by Yamatoishikedaortiz just made me want to try some stuff a bit more. This is just a draft to start messing with, get a feel for different tricks.

Trickstar Orcust vs Mine Burn? (1-0, 1-0)
Back to back singles wins going second after losing the RPS and winning game 1. I misplay the combo, failing to use my silent boots for fodder to set up my link for the counter trap and most effectively control the field. I still win due to their deck being so weak to me ashing metaverse, from the looks of things. https://imgur.com/FfhRMrA I’m so tired I side out called by the grave for pankratops vs the deck that keeps no monsters. Yikes. Take the next game with easy stage freezing and combo with ash on metaverse again.

Trickstar Orcust vs Artifacts? (1-0)
Another singles bout. I take the RPS win, which goes a good way to me winning the duel right there, easily swarm and despite brain farting on my counter trap, I think getting it for protection was a good idea given my overwhelming disruption count making it unlikely they would swarm in a way that needed the card removal plan, more likely to meet some evenly to troll me than that. Still, I think this deck could use some work to improve the chances of opening a playable hand that nets both the trap and field spell play. Still need to practice that silly combo, lol.

Unrated replays with wokky, first one was a singles bout I won going second, second was a singles bout we both god handed, but my start wins. Third is a replay of us messing with stuff from that hand, probably ways to do it better, but we tried stuff out, haha. Might fill in more notes later.

Bit of singles testing with Salamangreat Draft. I lost RPS all 4 times, haha, but they didn’t have powerful turn 1 fields.

Salamangreat Draft vs Thunder Dragons (1-0)
They bricked and I didn’t, they scoop. Mulling over my link choices a bit, and the second tested stallion for the list, but no real conclusions yet. Realize counter trap set-up is better to hold up brick since I need no special damage output.

https://www.duelingbook.com/replay?id=407264-10485310
Salamangreat Draft vs Altergeists (1-0)
They set 5, have a spoofing but end up rage quitting when I start making plays.

Salamangreat Draft vs Combo Deck (1-0)
He bricks on garnet, but draws ash and GOSR. I use foxy, they ash, I mindlessly called but tbh should have let it through, I easily have an otk under ash and could hit a more important hand trap later. They goofed a GOSR but I ignore it and plow over it for an otk anyways. The foxy getting fusion of fire by accident was cute, but having fennec access made the hand otkable without called on ash.

https://www.duelingbook.com/replay?id=407264-10485629
Salamangreat Draft vs Mine Burn (1-0)
They start with chain energy, making me think burn, so I hold on to cosmic for the possible mine, ends up taking the game for me as I break the rest of the field.

Salamangreat Draft vs Salamangreat (1-0)
They win the RPS and do a weak foxy move with 4 backrow. I simply make my pushes and they quit, despite it being a match. Recurrance proved a cute add off of foxy.

https://www.duelingbook.com/log?id=407264-10486372
Salamangreat Draft vs Thunder Dragon Danger (0-2)
I lose to their field game 1 after losing RPS.
I switch out 3 cosmic for 3 lancea.
Game 2 I start with a dweller counter trap board, but still get otked as I flip my trap on their thunder dragon fearing threats, only to realize I needed it for a much more threatening link play, etc. Dangers are a minimal link fearing force. Maybe even setting rage instead would have been better.

https://www.duelingbook.com/replay?id=407264-10486993
Salamangreat Draft vs Salamangreat (2-0)
Game 1 they win RPS, my disruption on mirage stalled them. I push over backrow but forget to give myself a spare bale. Regardless, mole ends up giving me large CA and I grind them out.
https://imgur.com/swLmoKw We shall see how good crow is.
Game 2 they start and I nab the normaled gazelle’s spinny with crow. Easy push and I keep them off their engine and they quit.

I open, probably should have thought about gunning for a trap play or a dweller, but their deck is trash and they quit when I flip my quick-play to avoid the shuffle, despite having metaverse, which they did not know I had ash for, lol.

Please don't spam this thread. I use one thread to keep track of my Yugioh process, let me keep it focused for that. I'm happy to hear thoughts from other people on stuff here, but not aimless posting.

[The Notetaker]

Doing a clear out of my DB account to start anew. Maybe I make the same decks again, or different decks, idk yet, I just want a fresh start. To review what is being moved out for now, though I will try to leave it saved elsewhere.

All right, gave my first go at thunder dragon danger combo. I've not looked at any list format, but faced a few and have a pretty decent idea how they work. https://imgur.com/VszCIPO First draft of my understanding of the deck without any viewings of other decks to modify with, that way I can see what I know prior to my input.

Thunder Dragon Danger vs Danger Orcust Big Eye (0-1)
They win RPS and I don’t think either of us really knew what we were doing. I ended up losing with my poor plays.

Thunder Dragon Danger vs Noble Knights (1-0)
They win RPS (time to start picking paper in singles, geesh), and start with a weak NK field. It is clear they do not know the deck very well. That’s fine, I poorly pilot my own list to an otk, despite forgetting wyvern, among other misplays.

I win RPS with scissors, lol, forgot my own comment. I start with thunder dragon and danger, they quit, Idk if DCed.

Long story short, still have no idea what I am doing, have a few suggestions for edits in mind, but first wan to get a feel for the deck before I make calls.

Thunder Dragon Danger vs Salamangreat (1-0)
Lost RPS again, really should choose paper, haha. Anyhow, I otk them with what seems to be a strong hand with a ton of resources. I am a bit worried about the thunder dragon density, that needs some figuring, might be high, but I like thunder dragon fusion. Still, if I’m not using many other spell/traps other than allure vs sarc, it may be better to go with sekka’s light in the main for the easy +1 reshuffle. Heard of a little dragon that may be worth using with guardragons, saw a list with spell canceler. More and more handy ideas, will run by my side when I get used to the main, want to make sure I better understand my combos. Otked without doing the math and thought I needed borrelsword, lel. Yikes. Need to decide how to use the guardragon pisty, if I want to triple burst to justify it or not, or just use it as a play over-styled card effect. Think I’m comfortable enough to get a grip for what kind of fields they make, we’ll see.

[YGOCARD]Thunder Dragon[/YGOCARD] Danger vs bad Hero deck? (1-0)

Misplays for days, I start with rock and take the single going first. I nearly miss my mandatory effect, probably sequence into skull dread poorly, and think I may like the guardragon play with that little dragon who can discard and add, Omni Dragon Brotaur. Would allow the play to create the bosses a bit easier. I still end on multiple monsters that troll their plays, but it could have been played better. [YGOCARD]Thunder Dragon[/YGOCARD] Fusion for Titan is nice. Use it to wipe board, though that was an overkill mission, will need to think how needed that is. Their engine wasn't really important, just there to watch the solitare.

Another singles, I take the RPS with scissors, (horray!) and start, but get my dread veilered. Think I could have sequenced a bit better, but win on colossus floodgating their search and basically doing a thunder dragon grind. Since I’m going to make an edit, guess this gets its own post. Note to self, remember your chaos dragon thunder dragon, lol.

Been considering using high level dangers, either in main, or side, particularly for going second, as level 8 is best danger level in thunder dragon danger builds and their stats for the best for attacking without executing disruption vulnerable plays. Also, their pop effects are solid going second for outing annoying issues when you discard them, hence the go second thoughts for the sideboard rather than the main.
