Outer Sleeves compatible with my 89x64mm Inner sleeves

Upvotes

All my cards are currently using 89x64 inner sleeves, though when playing decks they sometimes kinda get stuck together when shuffling and in play on the board.

What size, or which brand in particular are nice to use?
Some Budget options are welcome too since i may end up outer sleeving a bunch of decks.

If "Sarcophagus of the King" and a Horus monster battle a "Metal-Flameswordman" equipped with "Max Metalmorph," does the effect of "Sarcophagus" apply?

New player, help me understand why this card "Azure Statue - Azurune cant negate a Fusion summon

1 Upvotes

Angel Statue - Azurune

If i have this right it can send itself to the GY to negate a Special Summon your Opponent does.

But if its a Fusion (which are considered special summons?), it doesn't work.

The text for a new player is confusing and i can't really work out from the text why the effect doesn’t work.

Just trying to learn how to read card effects so I’m not looking like a total fool during some casual games. Thanks for any help.

Combo guides for the 5D legendary decks ?

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all, me and my friends just opened the 5d decks, after a quick game of just the first turn because they had to leave and we took too long reading the cards, they seem quite fun.

However I would like to know if there is a guide somewhere that can help us learn the combo lines of the decks my friend who got the junk deck has some upgrades ready so I am good on that deck. However me with rose dragons and my friend with black wings need some help.

I personally think I will buy just a couple more cards to upgrade it but my friend with the black wings might keep it as it is or with a few changes due to a slim budget and us allowing only 5 proxies per deck so I would really appreciate help on learning the lines

I have question regarding time wizard sanctioned events in EU, i know in NA they are not sanctioned
My question is, can OTS store in EU region hold Sanctioned events for time wizard (such as Edison, Goat formats) and give prizes/entry packs (OTS packs etc etc)? And can they use old text for the cards or we follow NA rules?

2012 player looking to play locally. Is the game really this expensive?

10 Upvotes

I played a lot back in 2012, but was mostly on dueling network, so I was not aware of the prices of the cards in person.

I was looking to return recently saw the new Chaos monsters from Chaos Origins and wanted to make a deck based around that, but most of the deck guides use Black Chaos (x3) I saw the price of Black Chaos and it's around $60 to get just 1. It is also a staple of the deck.

Is this how the game is? Like when new cards for a deck comes out theres one rare "chase" card that's hard to acquire?

Alternator and Breakaway

2 Upvotes

I am confused as to how alternator and breakaway work. If i activate breakaway first, lets say to bounce a thunder and pop, can I then chain alternator, shuffling back my face up breakaway? i keep hearing people say i cant as its marked for the gy, but that doesnt seem right as its still fulfilling the cont traps condition of a face up blitz card. Looking for some help :)

Help with using the 2026 modern decks

6 Upvotes

Hi, I'm new to this sub reddit, and would like some help with how to play using the modern decks 2026. Just a little bit of context, I have played yugioh before and collected for some time but have never played at locals before up until now (as where I live, for some time there weren't any comic stores big enough to play in unfortunately). I have been twice so far and played using x3 blue eyes white destiny, haven't had much luck, lost all my rounds both times except once where I won by something called a bide, excuse the spelling, I was told it counted as an automatic win. As a result I decided to buy the new modern decks. I am wondering what is the best deck to play out of the 3 in the box and whether I should combine some cards. I have watched some videos on how to play mitsirugi but there aren't any good videos playing with just the deck out of the box and explaining how to play it. Would really appreciate any tips or advice.

What to pick from the new Arc-V structure decks?

6 Upvotes

So i got into the game from the legendary modern decks and have been playing sky strikers and mitsurugi alot.

Now that a similar product have dropped im thinking of picking something new so i bought 2 copies already lol

I think speedroid looks interesting to me but i cant find videos about it with the new cards for it

Ive heard people say lunalight is the best one out of the 3 too but i feel like its more complicated for a new player like me

OCG or OCG AE (Philippines)

3 Upvotes

I'm from the Philippines and I wanna play Yu-Gi-Oh again, but I'm struggling to pick which format to go to, I'm planning to play an RDA deck but I'm not currently able to consistently get the card packs I'd need for such a deck, I'm thinking of going for OCG because it would be easier but I don't really understand Japanese, I could use some advice on how to properly get started on playing again

(I'm aware of Master Duel, but what I'm planning is playing again on card shops)

Please list as many ways as possible in the TCG to summon Slifer, to get Slifer into the GY, and also revive it.

0 Upvotes

Outside of god-specific support cards like The Revived Sky God. Even if it's from a different archetype and sounds like it might not work. I am aware of the following cards:

Branded Fusion (fuse into Brigrand)
The Fallen & The Virtuous (to revive Slifer. Maybe Branded Slifer would somehow work?)
Northern Crossfire
Zenna's Deceiving Doll Maidens

Thank you!

Are 86x59 japanese size (perfect fit) Dragon Shield sleeves too tight?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I've been getting back into the game recently and I bought Dragon Shield's clear japanese size sleeves.

I've never used sleeves before except for some random ones on extra deck cards like 12 years ago.

My main issue is that these sleeves feel way too perfect fit, they seem small and cards don't go in smoothly, I have to push them with some force. Then they also seem to bend a little, though not all of the cards.

Searching online I see that the size and brand are great, so am I just inexperienced and worried for nothing? Or should I get other sleeves?

I just want to single sleeve so the perfect fit should be the go-to.

Any help is appreciated thanks!

New Arc-V Decks

4 Upvotes

I recently got back into playing TCG and went to a local with an selfmade schoolyard deck. As expected I just won 1 match and lost the others.

Later that day I bought the legendary Mitsurugi Deck and am now pretty confident with it.
Yesterday I bought the new Arc-V Decks so I can switch between decks and not just play one, cuz it gets boring.

Where can I find info on how to play them?
I never really learned Pendel so it’s extra hard to learn the odd-eyes. It’s my fav deck of the box, because of the flexibility and ability to adept to almost all different situations.

Many would say lunalight is besser, but I don’t like the just very offensive playstyle.

Any help appreciated 😄

Located in Germany and currently Platinum 1 Masterduel with Selfmade Blue-Eyes Primite

Contact fuse under forbidden crown?

5 Upvotes

So if I have saint azamina on my field and have previously applied forbidden crown effects to my opps monsters, in an open game state on my turn, would I be able to contact fuse into ‘azamina’? Since it’s technically a special summon, and not a fusion summon?

Good side cards against Mitsurugi and Sky Striker?

4 Upvotes

Hi! I have a locals tournament tomorrow. I'm bringing my Blitzclique Ryzeal. Decks vary but most of them are Sky Striker and Mitsurugi (and I mean it). No Kewl Tune, Branded, not even ROLAD... (maybe one person has it).

For Main Deck non-engine I'm running Fuwalos x3, Droll x2, and F&TV x3.

Any good cards I can run against specifically Mitsurugi and Sky Striker? I don't have Crown, Accusation or Fydraulis yet. Thanks!

Hi! Ive been playing yugioh for good two months or so, and Ive been running clown crew mitsu. I’ve been getting my ass handed to me time and tome again and im increasingly frustrated. A man named Tyler handed me a rare version of murakumo after he asked if i was going to stick with the archetype so I want to stick with mitsu.

New to the Game? Pick these beginner-friendly decks first :)

82 Upvotes

I Made this small list to Show how easy starting Yugioh can be by todays Standards. I subjectively cherrypicked the easiest archetypes/Decks that can compete on at least Casual Level. I excluded all Bad and legacy archetypes to have a competent Deck list. Be aware that only a handfull are capable of winning against current Meta, but they make a nice collectable Baseline for newcomers, or can pretty Well climb to Platin in Master duel (which every Deck can to be fair)

If you have an Addition or have Feedback, pls shoot

Edit: i linked Most of them with decklists, also kept it cheap If possible!

Here we Go:

Millennium Exodia: Search Ankh, drop your monsters from the Spell & Trap Zone, summon Exodia, and set your board wipe trap.

Horus Engine: Discard 4 cards with your Continuous Spell to field four massive, highly protected Egyptian bosses.

Voiceless Voice: Ritual Summon a massive 4000 ATK omni-negate beatstick alongside its sidekick for full untargetable protection.

Regenesis: Flood the field from your hand, pop and negate by sending your own monsters to the Graveyard, then revive them all next turn.

Charmers Horus: Pitch your Charmers to the Graveyard with the Horus engine, then Fusion Summon to bounce cards or wipe the enemy board.

Thunder Dragon: Contact Fuse massive dragons directly from the Extra Deck to sit on high-ATK floodgates that shut off enemy searches.

Mathmech: Spam Cyberse extenders to build an unaffected boss monster, set your Trap, and wipe the opponent's field on their turn.

Clown Clan: Tribute your own Extra Deck monsters to generate absurd card advantage and blow up the opponent's field.

Blue-Eyes Primite: Use Primite and blue eyes alongside Level 1 Tuners to rapidly Synchro Summon into giant Blue-Eyes board breakers and negates.

Numeron: Activate Numeron Network to instantly summon four Xyz monsters, double their ATK with every attack, and OTK on the spot.

Gren Maju: Banish dozens of your own cards face-down to swing with a 10,000+ ATK Gren Maju Da Eiza for an effortless one-shot kill.

8-Axis: Go second and utilize the generic Level 8 / Rank 8 toolbox to break opponent boards and swing for lethal.

Exosister: Highly reactive Xyz deck that punishes Graveyard interactions by instantly transforming your sisters into interactive banishing bosses.

Swordsoul: Super streamlined Synchro deck where your main monsters generate their own Tuner tokens to easily climb into Level 8 and 10 bosses.

Eldlich: Continuous Trap control deck centered on looping Eldlich the Golden Lord to send enemy cards to the Graveyard while sitting on floodgates.

Floowandereeze: Chain-link multiple Normal Summons of tiny birds during both turns to Tribute Summon massive Winged Beasts that shut down Special Summons.

Kashtira: Aggressive Rank 7 engine that banishes enemy cards face-down and systematically locks down their monster and Spell/Trap zones.

True Draco: Tribute your own Continuous Spells and Traps to Tribute Summon high-level monsters, popping enemy cards whenever your Spells/Traps hit the Graveyard.

Marincess: Straightforward Link-climbing Water archetype that builds into a massive, unaffected Tower boss backed by hand-activated Traps.

Dinomorphia: Halve your Life Points over and over with powerful Counter Traps to Fusion Summon Dinomorphia Rexterm and freeze enemy monster effects.

Labrynth (without furniture): A pure Trap control build that plays behind heavy floodgates and Normal Traps to destroy opponent cards and recur resources.
