Subterrors Are Taking Over Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel | Why Are Floodgates Looked At Negatively?

Hi Everyone!

Today I have here some replays of me climbing to Platinum, with my Subterror Guru Control Deck!

I'm still testing out other cards, but I think the consistency of the deck is quite good, and I'm very happy with the deck building so far.

The game plan with Subterrors are to get to your Guru as soon as possible. Once you have access to Guru, you use Guru to search Fiendess. If you already have Fiendess in hand, search Final Battle.
You can get access to Guru with The Hidden City, by destroying Nemesis Archer, or by utilizing the pot cards, Duality and Extravagance.

After that, it's all dependant on the other cards you have in hand. Utilize the others to disrupt the field and protect your own. Solemn Strike, TCBOO, Dogmatika Punishment, Solemn Judgement, Torrential Tribute, Lord Of The Heavenly Prison, etc.

A funny thing about Torrential Tribute and Lord, is that if lord is active, and you activate torrential, you can destroy every monster on the field, and save your own monsters, because Lord protects facedown cards.

This floodgates in the deck do wonders against Madolche and Tearlaments. You can also play around negates and Skill Drain, thanks to Subterror Final Battle.

I also want to note down something. I've played floodgates for a while now, and while I personally think there are no problems with certain floodgates, others disagree strongly. This is just to clarify to you all that I do not care.

Floodgates are designed to stop aspects of play. And if you can run a couple of floodgates that mess with the opponent, while keeping your deck together, then go for it. No one should be insulted or ridiculed for playing a card that is ALLOWED in the game, and is reasonably fair. It does not make you less skilled for playing them.

On another level, it does not make meta players better, and it does not make you worse. Obviously, cards on the level of Mystic Mine were too overpowered. WAY too overpowered. But TCBOO? Gozen and Rivalry? Nah. There are hundreds of out, some that are part of the archetype that you may be playing. Nothing to do with skill, but everything to do with PROBABILITY. The only legitimate skills in the game of Yu-Gi-Oh, is all in the deck building and in-game decision making. Rant is over.
