Tackle crusader definitely isn't meta, but I played it for fun and by chance got matched against a stun player who summoned a barrier statue and set 4 pass. Its so funny to discard it with a vernusylph and book the floodgate. They were not ready for tackle crusader turbo lol.

Something you can only do in Master Duel is to toggle off against your opponent, and wait for their fifth summon to toggle on so when it suddenly passes priority on that summon your opponent might think they're about to pay the nibiru tax. I've seen hero players scoop from that lol

When the tenpai player destroys my entire field except for the battle immune hootcake and madolche salon, does full combo and I survive with a few hundred life points at the end of their turn. They used their pops on glassoufle and ticket instead which stopped a puddingcess summon sure but still lol

No way 😂 I was playing Dice Rally in Master Duel, and going first my bonus was a copy of True Name. I wrote the name of the card I wanted most, my 1 of copy of Herald of Orange Light- and I guessed right it was my top deck! That won me the duel, a real heart of the cards moment right there lol.

B.E.S. is so hard to stop in ygo. I negated 2 spells, booked 3 monsters, negated a monster, spun two from grave, spun two from field & I had three high defense battle immune guys who float. Through that they made a fusion with 4500 ATK piercing who attacks all monsters and set my DEF to 0 for game

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I usually don't run droll & lock bird, but its a pretty good counter to the heavy draw decks like clown crew popping up in Master Duel recently.

001

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I do enjoy taking the Maxx C challenge. A lot of decks are all engine and negates with no breakers. Engines often dont want -all- their cards in hand, and if they blow all their negates during set up they cant stop interrupts. But if they have breakers thats then you just lose instantly lol.

000

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Some decks only need one card in hand to win, and then theres Evil Hero who cant win even after I gave them 26 cards in hand under Maxx C, and they resolved that grass looks greener too lol. My end board was only Madolche Sistart, Teacher Glassoufle, and my one copy of destructive daruma karma canon

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Ive been experimenting with goridan slicer in my deck. Its pretty great going second, but I'll probably cut it since its no good going first. And ygo is all about going first at the moment.

000

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Clown Crew ygo summoning Tsumuha-Kutsunagi the Lord of Swords during my M2 in response setting my trap cards- a war crime. Clown Crew flood gating themselves with rivalry of warlords against my mostly fairy deck- hilarious lmao. Win condition Biancaviso is the only illusion type why play rivalry 😂

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

I tried to play a different deck in yugioh, and I have no idea what Im doing lol. With my main deck I play great, but swap to a new deck and its like my brain is made of mashed potatoes lol. Its the lopsided experience of a deck with 650 hrs practice moving to one with 0 hrs and its a bit jarring

100

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Had an 11 turn duel going 2nd vs Branded with Madolche. Terrible hand too. I shouldn't have won but my opponent misplayed wildly. For example, on normal summon of Mudora, they CL1 Mirrorjade so I CL2 Mudora. They had to banish their own Mirrorjade as the only monster on field. Many such examples lol

100

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

The way Yugioh mixes game mechanics with lore is so funny. I was playing against darklords and got a laugh when my opponent fusion summons The First Darklord (based on lucifer) by fusing three level 6 dark fairies. It could have been any three dark fairies, but doing it with 6+6+6 is hilarious 😂

100

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Ive been able to get to diamond 4 with my madolche deck the past few months. It doesnt really stand a chance against folks who know what they are doing, and it takes me like the full month to get there. But considering how old the cards are thats not to shabby lol. Ive got basic competency with it

011

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

You know, sometimes you can just show up to the master duel fusion cup with nothing but main deck madolches summon 4 monsters going 1st, one of which is pudingcess, no backrown, and still somehow win against branded player who crashed into pudingcess then scooped when her effect pops their Rindbrumm

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I think I'll have to take a break from Master Duel for a few weeks because of a nasty repetitive stress injury in my hands. I checked my steam stats, 584 hrs of play over the last 4 months. Thats like 5 hrs a day on average which in retrospect was maybe too much lol. Need to take more breaks.

110

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Had an opponent send two fuwalos and maxx c against me turn 1 so I thought I'd try the maxx c challenge to deck them out. Got them down to their last three cards. Did my last summon, they were an Exodia deck LMAO nice

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Get Destructive Daruma Karma Cannon'ed, Rapidraptor -Rising Rebellion Falcon! 😂 Bonus: I had Mudora the Sword Oracle in grave to stop their gy follow up too.

Master Duel screenshot: An opponent with only Rapidraptor - Rising Rebellion Falcon on field is in the battle phase targeting Madolche Queen Tiarafraise in defense for attack, amidst a full Madolche end board. Destructive daruma karma canon, a trap card that is hard counter to unaffected tower monsters is flipped face up. It affects the player to send the card to the graveyard, not the card itself. So it resolves and removes them.

030

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

The other day in master duel, I had no engine in hand going first. Set one pass thinking it was over. Opponent summons mimighoul dragon, I negate. They summon mimighoul archfiend. Uno reverse! I activated Destructive Daruma Karma Cannon, flipping their face up mimighouls face down on their side LMAO

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Bsky was locking me out for a while there, as it was saying I had to give it my SSN, credit card, etc to 'verify age'. I didn't want to give away all my sensitive personal info, and thought I was going to be locked out for good. It loaded today though but if Im gone in the future thats probably why.

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

y yugioh deck isnt the strongest, but theres something very charming about summoning a postal worker from deck to deliver your spells and traps then sending him back to get more. Messengelato is getting a workout delivering to hootcake, anjelly, puddingcess, meowcaroons, ticket, and various fairies

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

I made a silly misplay and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in my latest round of master duel. My opponent only had psychic end punisher left and all I needed to do was summon underworld goddess of the closed world using it as material. I misclicked "use sistart as 2 material" instead of it😩

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Im getting better at piloting madolche. I finally made it out of platinum into diamond. That and I started picking go first after a few months of always choosing to go second. First day of picking go first and I climbed all the way from platinum 5 to diamond in just a few hours lol wild.

000

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Eyy, swapping out two Kaijus and a Slumber for two copies of cosmic cyclone and one copy of evenly matched has seemingly made my deck much stronger as im on the longest winning streak I've had with it. Banishing backrow to prevent recycling is such a big help in yugioh

010

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

My madolche deck has been struggling against branded lately, but I finally managed a win. I had a lucky opening hand of three vernusylph, anjelly, a kaiju, and dark ruler no more. That let me run full combo and set up all my backrow. Then 3 turns to draw into small world for a barrier statue lol

100

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

A fun hand for breaking boards in yugioh, dark ruler no more plus two copies of evenly matched which is not once per turn. DRNM turns off their monster negates and abilities to save themselves. The first copy of evenly banishes the field, and the second copy scoops up any recovery they manage.

110

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Board breaking in master duel is fun. Im playing madolche vernuslyphs with a kaiju package. Going second against Purrely Yummy. Their end board has Herald of arc light (gy hate), expurrley noir with 7 materials (tower), yummy way, mignon, and my friend pureley. They also had ash blossom in hand.

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Here's my Madolche / Vernusylph going second deck, 45 cards: 30 monsters, 10 spells, 5 traps. Key techs: Alpha bouncing a kaju (reusable same turn removal), awakening forests foolishes glow-up bulb for naturia beast, and bulb as a near universal small world bridge #master_duel #madolche #vernusylph

An image of a 45 card master duel deck and 15 card extra deck featuring madolches, vernusylph, kaiju and more.

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Exosisters is such a bad match-up for my a Madolche Vernusylph deck. Thankfully I've found some success running Kumongous, the Sticky String Kaiju and Alpha the Master of Beasts. Pop their biggest threat with the Kaiju then use Alpha to reset the kaiju and itself to my hand for next turn. #yugioh

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Playing against hecahands as a going second board breaker deck with 3 copies of TTT is so satisfying. A lot of hecahands players don't use protection, so you can just steal their Hecahands Dandalos, and use it to steal their Xeno to summon a second Xeno. Stealing the theft engine, hilarious😂 #yugioh

000

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Often in Yugioh Master Duel stall decks refuse to take the battle victory even if they have you fully locked down. But if you actually play out to turn 45 or whatever even if they technically would mill you they often lose to time limit which is really funny. Its nice to spend time with them lol

100

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Lmao a yubel deck summoned a monster to my side of the field to get their yubel out. But they positioned them in such a way that I was able to swap control with Geonator Transverser on my turn. It was like "haha you thought you were the Chad, but now it is I!" Stealing yubel is so funny lol

000

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

Ah fun yugioh tech discovered for me, Im sure many know it, vernuslyph of the flourishing hills to summon itself, and search vernuslyph corolla. With those two cards on the field my madolches are immune to destruction. Can still be banished and other things, but blocking destruction is still big.

000

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

Oh I learned a fun interaction. You can activate Madolche Magileine's search ability on flip summon. And you can reset it with book of eclipse. So not only is book of eclipse decent board protection, it also gives me a second chance to search with her if she gets negated in a previous turn.

000

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

I am getting better at facing Kewl Tunes. Im winning a bit more often, just gotta wait to negates until a bit longer into their cycle. It takes a long chain of vernuslyph summons to get onto the field going second if the negate doesn't stop. Or droll etc.

000

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

Faced a big string of stun decks today. Lots of floowananderezee. Lots of morganites. Fell two ranks ugh. I won a game against number 59 crooked cook, inspector boarder, and a few lunalights. I also beat a voiceless voiceless deck. Something like 10 floowananderezee Morganite games in a row ugh lol

100

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Okay! I've been refining my Madolche Vernuslyph combo deck (Master Duel Apr 2026) and I think I got something pretty good now. I'll post the deck list below in case anyone else wants to try it. I'll do monsters, spells and traps, and extra deck as separately (Note: M= Madolche; V= Vernuslyph of the)

100

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

Finally making some progress with my madolches in master duel again. Stalled out for a while when Kewl Tunes dropped and everyone was playing them. Its a bad match for my deck lol.But Im finally back up to platinum 1. Hopefully I can break into diamond before the end of the month lol.

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Got a new deck of tarot cards. Been testing them out with a general read on myself each morning. And despite a lot of shuffling, I get almost identical readings every day lol. Four days in a row the Four of swords is my past, in this deck its chained Fenrir who will destroy the world lol. Girl true

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

It doesn't help that I keep accidentally bricking my ash blossoms with dominus purge too lol. Still lots of user error to blame on my end. Some of those fights were definitely winnable, I just made mistakes like above. Among others silly inexperience errors. I'll climb back up eventually no worries

000

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Bah, the Kewl Tunes archetype that just came out is a bad match up for me and my madolches. Its a bit frustrating getting interrupted every two seconds lol. And bouncing my big xyzs rip lol. Fell from platinum 3 back to plat 5 in one long bad run against a bunch of them in a row. Ah well.

000

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

Just had the funniest duel. Going first, petingcessour activates, opponent fuwalos's. He gets 1 card as i summon puddingcess and end with just those two on field. Turn two, they go through their whole hand to get out a single 5k Hero who attacks 3 times. Hits puddingcess first, gets deleted by her 😂

000

The Ace of Hugs @brookebrite.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

I started playing Yu-gi-oh master duel as a first time player earlier this week. Lots of fun. Im running a rogue Madloche Vernuslyph deck for fun. Initial thoughts, Fresh Sistart is the MVP of the deck. Puts cards in the grave when needed, negates targeted distruction, and bounces cards from GY too.
