This came at the right time, I've been toying with the idea of trying D/D/D for a week or so now, I've seen some of your previous videos too as welll as from other players, but it's nice to have a beginner's guide to start at, because all this pendulum stuff and their effects is so confusing to me, but I REALLY want to give it a try!

Just returned to MD after a very long time and I wanted to build DDD as my first deck because I loved it in the anime (along with SHS) and how as an archetype it uses all summoning mechanics. Amazing first video and will be looking forward to watching the entire series! Always feared that the deck is overwhelming to learn but I appreciate you breaking it down so its easy to understand. Thanks again and appreciate the vid!! Keep it up!!!

In my opinion, the minimum core for the deck should be 3 Swirl, 3 Kepler, 3 Griffon, 3 Copernicus (unfortunately), 1 Orthros, 1 Ragna, 1 Rage, 1 Cerberus, 1 Necro, 1 Typhon, 3 Gate, 1 Swamp, and 1 Patent, which adds up to 23 cards. With 17 remaining spots, you can choose to focus on a handtrap-heavy build or a board-breaking strategy. I used to play a 41-card deck with decent results, leaving Lamia, Eternal Darkness, and Thomas in the side deck, and adding more handtraps. It's definitely bricky at times, but it also means that if you don’t get to play, your opponent doesn’t either thanks to your hand full of handtraps. At that point, it comes down to skill-interrupting at the right moment and drawing the out. For the main deck, I’m planning to play 45 cards when I return (I’m a slave to capitalism), including the 23 core cards plus 3 Ash, Nibiru, Imperm, Droll, and Mourner; 1 Called by the Grave; 2 Triple Tactics Talent; 2 Dark Ruler No More; and 2 Evenly Matched (WCQ Berlin made me choose this build, as I believe Se Fiendsmith is more vulnerable to board breakers now compared to the past with the Fire King engine). In the side deck, I’m planning to include 1 Lamia, Thomas, Eternal Darkness, Set Rotation, One for One, Terraforming, 3 Nightmare, Throne Dogwood, 2 Lightning Storm, and 1 Harpie’s Feather Duster. I don’t have the Fiendsmith engine yet, so I can’t say much about it, but I don't think it’s worth playing more than Requiem, as we don’t have much space in the Extra Deck and it mainly helps make Caesar more easily. So, the final board should have 2 Caesars, 1 Machinex, and maybe Siegfried plus Eternal Darkness. The real concern with the Fiendsmith engine should be consistency-it should be our "Diabell." To achieve this, I think at least 3 Engraver and 1 Quick-Play Spell (though it’s a brick if drawn, as you have to discard Engraver to search for it, use it to Link 1 to special summon the second Engraver, then reborn the first by shuffling Requiem and go into Xyz 6) are necessary. Tractus can also be used, but that leaves less space for handtraps and board breakers, and it not a surprise that ddd is not a branded deck with can use engine to win the games and it's hard to control.

so in the case of fiendsmith D/D/D fiendsmith doesnt necessarily generate a better endboard than our regular ones, but it is a huge consistency booster. If you have bricked with only 1 D/D and fiendsmith engine, but want a full-board you could actually do it by sacrificing your first big caesar summoned by the engraver by normal summoning your brick d/d and going into gilgamesh to fetch a contract out of it + set scales. I think your non-engine choices are super interesting, why did you go with mourner over veiler? since mourner is only hotp, wouldn‘t it be more beneficial to habe multiple veilers that you can trigger in the same turn as well? + veiler enables siegfried with typhon in the worst case
@HakAIan
12 күн бұрын
@@DifferentDimensionDreamer i do understand your point of view but I have a sentimental attachment with mourner thanks to its burning effect and its during either players turn as long as opponent summons a monster . Regarding veiler synchro into Siegfried , sure it may be good but it also means that it’s your last resort and you don’t have much so maybe hiding your hand and waiting a bit would be wiser choice. But as always it all depends on the context and duel.

@@blacklabel9739 i would say it‘s okay going second. Competent enough to push for game even in your first turn, but you have to know the opponent‘s deck suuuper well and think two steps ahead (literally). You have to assess with your hand wether the cards you have are enough to bait out all interruptions AND otk with your monsters too. I would even go as far as to say, the actual reputation that this deck is a big brain deck, stems from its going 2nd lines, because there are no official ones. A good and excellent D/D/D player differ in their ability to improvise and win going 2nd

@DifferentDimensionDreamer Awesome to know. I created a new account so I can get the gems to build this deck and rebuild my salads along side it. Like salads this deck looks like so much fun to play and has good recursion if something happens. Can it play through negates well? You mentioned having to bait them out to push for game and I'm used to that because my salads have 14 cards that can start the combo.
@DifferentDimensionDreamer

@@blacklabel9739 100% it can play through negates easily, especially if your opponent doesn‘t know how to handtrap you. But compared to salad we don’t have as many starters. Natively, this deck only has 6 1-card starters and 3 2-card starters. However, it has 10 extenders which really come in clutch if need be! You can easily play through 3 negations if your hand is right, but because of the decks 5 soft garnets, in bad hands 1 interrupt may be game ending

To be honest, I wish we could get a new D/D/D support card so that we can replace Copernicus, which is now quite slow, and also get a better Kepler. To be honest, Copernicus is the worst of the starters; it only serves to foolish, unlike Kepler, which can also be used tactically to bounce a scale, summon it, or something similar. I can’t wait to replace Copernicus with a card like Martha, something that special summons from the deck, graveyard, or Extra Deck, and inflicts damage depending on the level times 100. If it does summon, it treats itself as a Tuner. When Pendulum summoned, it recycles a banished card, and when reborn from the graveyard, it sets a Dark Contract. I also can't wait to replace High Genghis with something more interactive, like a contact fusion card so that we can get rid of the other brick typhon and has an effect that's like yubel so instead of just negating effects, replace the effect with an effect that makes the opponent take 1000 LP damage and we gain half of it while benefiting us as well. Additionally, we need a Link-1 monster for cases when our starter gets interrupted, so we can link into it. On summon, it could foolish a Dark Contract that burns you by 1000 LP during the standby phase, allowing you to apply both effects (taking 1000 LP damage and choosing one of the other effects that foolished card has). When used as material, it should have a + effect that protects our Dark Contracts from leaving the field once per turn by burning the opponent for 1000 LP instead, so it also works with Deus Machinex somehow. We also need a Link-3 monster that protects our monsters and serves as an omni-negate, along with more consistency cards, like a Quick-Play Spell from the anime that adds 3 cards with different scales, and immediately after, lets you Fusion or XYZ summon, then banishes itself to recycle by paying 1000 LP.

Yo Alan! Finally got around to respond to your support ideas! Really cool ideas. I do agree on the coper part. From all the 2 card combo lines, coper is by far my least favourite paired with gryphon. His pend scale effect is really lacking too. If we would have a new starter that extends our plays like martha the deck will instantly be bumped up a tier and I find the effect fair too since the format got powercrept way too much. Everything that replaces our main deck one-ofs with starters that enable us to go full combo is a win in my book. Typhon has to be one of my least desirable hard draws in an opening hand and there are so many times were I just wanna cut him out😪 a contact fuse for us that helps with reviving would be hella clean A link 1 and a link 3 would be great for consistency reasons, maybe even only a link 3 since if we receive main deck support, the main deck monsters should give us enough ways to spam atleast 2 bodys on the field to go into a link 2

The unfortunate thing here is that 1 space in the ED is just wasted for a Machinex that is just there to get stuck in the ED rather than be more useful than combo extension.

for sure! Getting a new link 3 would be something really nice or a link 1 in the case when we don‘t get a second body on field. Something that boosts our consistency through interruptions.
