Common Charity

If you're interested in trying out this very new and unexplored format after years of only small gradual changes you can head over to the discord server that will be hosting an asynch tournament for it starting the 21st!

X-Saber as an archetype is probably just not quite good enough, it didn't get either of it's new synchros and the strategy likely can't keep up with what it has access to. The set also contains some big improvements to the generic synchro and rank 4 pool, these four among them

Mitsurugi gets many of it's cards, now only missing two of the ritual monsters. Expectations for it aren't that high but it will likely be a relevant deck, either in a pure version like this or in some kind of megalith-based ritual pile

The new Legendary modern decks 2026 will likely cause a large shakeup in common charity's metagame, introducing into the format many strong generics such as these as well as strong archetypes such as sky striker, mitsurugi (and maybe x-saber a little bit)

A deck that might be able to make really good use of these is Tenyi as a deck that wants to blind second anyways, these sets also contain a common reprint of frobidden droplet which might play a similar role.

being main decked is questionable, the card is obviously impactful going second but playing a card that is dead going first can be hard to justify in a slower format compared to advanced. Being level 4 makes it easier to play in decks like megalith that can use it as tribute

The new Legendary 5D's decks contain all 3 of the mulcharmy monsters at common, which will obviously impact common charity as a format. With a currently more combo-leaning meta of decks like melodious, lunalight and megalith these might slow the format down a little bit

New cards from ALIN open up a lot of opportunities in CC, among those is the code igniter engine which can be used to improve endboards in decks with rank 4 access. Here in Melodious it is used to make a dragostapelia and a negate in the form of SA.I.dekick.

the other people in top 4 were bhoffman492 on amazoness and me (graefin) on volcanic eldlich white forest

Our SUDA torunament has just concluded! Congratulations to Cho_Cathal_ic for getting first place with crystron and n0body_fur for making second with blind second hero

@MBTYuGiOh hey guys remember common charity? It's still being run, the format is changing a lot right now and there's a pretty active community that does regular tournaments.

TWITTER THREAD TWITTER THREAD! Today, I wanted to talk about Yugioh's forgotten formats. Traditional, Prerelease, Deckmaster... Konami's always on the lookout for ANOTHER WAY to play with overpriced cardboard. Which "side formats" do you remember fondly? (Or not so fondly?)

Amazoness is a blind second strategy that aims to break boards/otk. It showed some results already and recently got Call in the speed duel box. The card for sure makes it stronger and might pull it up into the higher parts of rogue, although how good it'll be exactly is unsure

Vampire is a deck that aims to quickly establish an advantage engine using its recursive tools and the searchable omni negate vampire domination. This is held together with generic zombie support like uni-zombie and shiranui swallow-slash as disruption

The OTS also contains abyssmegalo and the portuguese OTS contains both gunde and turge at common. Mermail hasnt seen any play in common charity so far but these cards might change that

Shark is a deck that has been close to viability for quite some time and these new cards might help the deck reach that. Right hand shark enables buzzsaw into a crooked cook with right hand shark under it. I doubt this will see success in a format where people main kaijus tho

The commons in the next OTS set have just been revealed and has some interesting stuff for common charity! The biggest new card is shopina, it'll help melodious, a deck already in meta contention. It'll be interesting to see if this can push melodious above the power of lunalight
