#

but i like non extra deck focused skills so

#

i also like skills that don't look like an ikea assembly diagram

#

but that obviously mean those will be weak passives

#

yugo will certainly get a new skill during his rerun, pretty much all event characters do

dapper grotto
#

Event Rerun skills are usually super awful sadly.

pastel lotus
#

yes but it will always be there

#

and iv's was not that bad iirc

#

it also wasn't super busted

#

i think gimmick puppets might have lasted for more than 3 weeks if their event wasn't so close to arc-v world release

#

i assume you mean besides kaiba and yugi

dapper grotto
#

Ye. Red-eyes sadly will never be great.

pastel lotus
#

but yeah nu kaiba is showing up less and less now that the actual dishonest archetypes are here and ol' blue peeps can't keep up with them

dapper grotto
#

It's just okay at best right now.

#

They need to release some of his BACH support here.

#

Maybe Blue-eyes Jet Dragon.

#

It doesn't seem that broken.

quick axle
#

Or Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon.

pastel lotus
#

ah blue eyes

#

eternally kept afloat by the imagination of fanboys and fangirls

#

at least spirit heavily cripples pendulums

pastel lotus
#

raging pendulum the hotness for q2 2023

#

yuya fully demonstrated that being a ygo protagonist is pure suffering

quick axle
#

If only Arc-V didn't botch the dismount...

pastel lotus
#

earlier i mentioned heroic challenger as an archetype whose strategies revolve around battle

#

there is actually a a second archetype that also fits the bill

#

burning knucklers (battlin boxers)

#

yeah zexal was really the eipitome of a battle shounen

#

it was also accused of copying off of dragonball, saint seiya, digimon, yugioh dm and gx, and probably various others

quick axle
#

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, Yuma caused me to drop the series early on.

#

The anime series, that is.

#

Episode 20, series dropped.

pastel lotus
#

i think yuma is the best dressed protagonist of the series

#

a very me opinion

#

i keep trying to imagine my favorite actors and chris redfield wearing yuma's kit

#

because it was just really that fashionable

#

girls were great eye candy but gets plot shafted as per usual

quick axle
#

Tori / Kotori is probably one of the most useless girl protagonists, possibly.

pastel lotus
#

yeah but that would be fine if they didn't drop teases of her dueling like hee wearing a duel disk in ed 5 iirc

#

she also gets copious of screentime for someone without a personal arc

#

of course gx was also very warrior and battle-orienteated

#

evil hero malicious devil effect summarized:

#

hey, if you enter your battle phase, you all have to battle me!

quick axle
#

Tori / Kotori's "arc" can be summed up in two words: "YUMA-KUN!"

pastel lotus
#

i lowkey thought that was vector/ray

quick axle
#

BTW, in your case, it's Rei, not Ray.

pastel lotus
#

yeah

quick axle
#

Also... uhh... Season 2 ZEXAL spoilers, dude.

pastel lotus
#

that would only bother those who watch the show

quick axle
#

shrug

pastel lotus
#

and i never explained his character motivations

#

i found zexal enjoyable although i would give it 2 out 5 on the originality scale

#

if i hated it more adamantly, i would give it 1 out of 5

#

the dm copying was more blatant, yuma himself had a personality more akin to jounouchi, and some of yuma's early cards have gambling themes (double or nothing, monster slot)

quick axle
#

Not to mention, outside character and duelist growth, Yuma is an AWFUL duelist.

pastel lotus
#

yuma actually has family members, except they barely do anything contingent to the plot

#

well zexal was meant to be a renaissence of the series

#

new easy ed summoning method

#

reprinting of the beginner's edition 1 and 2

#

like it built to attract new blood

quick axle
#

Fair.

#

To be honest, outside that, Yuma is kinda endearing.

pastel lotus
#

it was a gateway series to the new 10s

#

zexal had a large swathe of level changing cards, which looks neat, but went almost unused in actual play because, why should i spend 1 card to change my monsters' levels

quick axle
#

And I gotta be honest? These quotes in-game were quite... I dunno... catchy.

"Here comes Utopic Onomatopeia!"
"Come on in! Zubababancho Gagagacoat!"
"Zubababancho Gagagacoat's effect activates!"
"Gagaga Sister! Time to play!"
"Gagaga Sister has another effect!"

pastel lotus
#

also in classic gx fashion, zexal ii became more about the chaos and darkness and seeing yuma heavily injured and so on

#

shark was literally hospitalized after the end of the duel with dr faker

#

he was dueling with an injury the whole time

#

zexal really ramped up the drama element

#

thought the ost by conisch was topnotch

quick axle
#

Anyway, we're getting a bit off-topic.

small fern
#

didn't realize initially that wasn't directed at me 😅

weak bough
#

i was a big zexal fan

pastel lotus
#

not really off-topic if the game was built upon the shows and even tries to be an epilogue for the said shows

#

every duelist chronicles/duelist road event is a quick and dirty summary of the anime and dm manga arcs

#

like idk if anyone considers those spoilers?

#

btw its still mind-boggling for me to see synchro having so many animation variations

pastel lotus
#

it was always clear from the get-go that duel links would 100% interwined with the anime (manga for dm/dsod) but it would follow current ocg rules and adopt speed duel constraints

#

if it didn't we wouldn't have characters or skills beyond basics like lp boost and draw sense

weak bough
#

and if it's a number monster that shows up

odd solar
#

whats an efficient way to farm gems

#

im tryna build a dark world deck

quick axle
#

I have a better question: Why?

odd solar
#

i like dark world

quick axle
#

Playing Dark World is basically P2L.

odd solar
#

damm

quick axle
#

The completely worse opposite of P2W.

#

Way too expensive for what the deck can do.

odd solar
#

that fucking sad

quick axle
#

The saddest part is that we got Grapha too little too late.

#

And all the centerpieces are scattered through multiple boxes.

#

Snoww is one box, Dark World Dealings is another box, Gates of the Dark World is ANOTHER box...

#

And Grapha is yet ANOTHER box.

odd solar
#

dam

#

welp time to give up

quick axle
#

In other words: Don't bother with DW on DL.

#

Sorry for being so harsh.

odd solar
#

i guess ill stick to dark magician

#

no problem

mighty bramble
#

Tbh I’ve been having a hard time caring about the game rn

pastel lotus
#

xyz was a relatively weak mechanic until spider

#

btw only using rum barian force produces a different xyz animation on zexal world right?

#

the same doesn't hold when you use a raidraptor exclusive rum?

pastel lotus
#

zw is a pretty useless archetype, being glorified equip cards

#

their only purpose is to augment hope (utopia) and nothing more

#

that's why they are never splashed into other decks

#

it was zexal having a flashy battle phase so it can garner more viewers

weak bough
sleek garnet
#

Skypalace babylon and battleship cherry blossom

#

And by tecnicalities

#

Leo utopia ray targetting utopia since leo always treats itself as c39

#

Utopia ray and shark drake veiss targetting a rank 3 since you can target any monster for barian's force

silk hatch
#

Im building S force, i have 0 of the SR link monster. do i reset box now or keep summoning for the justify 55 packs left

pastel lotus
#

i just hit upon a piece of trivia

#

yugo has go in his name

#

go means five

#

yugo's first unlock event happened in may

#

so konami choose a meaningful month for it to happen

#

how would you feel if someone used [gift exchange] and you got [germ infection] from it?

vivid waveBOT
# pastel lotus how would you feel if someone used [gift exchange] and you got [germ infection] ...
Effect

Both players banish 1 card from their Decks, face-down, and if they do, during the End Phase of this turn, both players add to their hands the card their opponent banished by this effect.

Effect

The ATK of a non Machine-Type monster equipped with this card is decreased by 300 points at each of its Standby Phases.

pastel lotus
#

what kind of sentiment does that convey?

robust void
#

why is spear cretin at 1? doesn't it suck

sleek garnet
robust void
#

spear cretin never was though so idgi

#

god I hate this deck sometimes. imagine making a pend archetype half full of level 5+ monsters but not ensuring that they can even pendulum summon themselves because your gimmick gives them all similar scales

lofty vessel
#

Do we have any dinomist players here?

pastel lotus
#

no

dapper grotto
#

Nah, I don't have enough of their SRs. pain

pastel lotus
#

dinomist only strategy is tribute something do a double direct attack

quick axle
#

Dinomist is unga bunga.

pastel lotus
#

yeah so

quick axle
#

And probably kinda cheeky.

dapper grotto
#

Gotta hit real hard and get that protection up.

pastel lotus
#

they resist scale destruction that's about it

#

crystron is still the premier water machine archetype

quick axle
#

@leaden warren's favorite.

dapper grotto
#

Glad I got that prismatic Crystron UR then. GremlinRoseWheeze

#

Hopefully I get the rest someday.

pastel lotus
#

i need to see if speedroid is splashable into crystron

#

1 copy of tri-eyed dice shouldn't hurt

#

and ignknights do nothing

#

they "burn" themselves in the pendulum zone, that's it

dapper grotto
#

I just go Crystal Wing + Psyframelord Zeta every time. xd

#

For Speedroid.

#

Never used Tri-eyed Dice tho.

weak bough
#

i just have dinomist as high attack level 4 water monsters as a placeholder until i get better cards for shark

sleek garnet
#

It's kinda sad tbh

pastel lotus
#

komoney always shhots themselves in the foot

#

anyways, i am feeling some feelings of unease towards duel links atm

#

i'll still play and login for rewards but...

#

definately going to reduce my time allocation per week

#

thia game is trying to milk anime lovers out of their money

#

for a series of decidedly good to mediocre animes, with each successive installment being more polarizing than the last

#

4000 lp has been too little since dsod era, but that's not the main reason i am semi-quitting

#

i need to get some rl stuff sorted away as well, including finding a new job

pastel lotus
#

is [number wall] in?

vivid waveBOT
# pastel lotus is [number wall] in?
Effect

Activate only if you control a "Number" monster. "Number" monsters on the field cannot be destroyed by card effects, and cannot be destroyed by battle except with another "Number" monster. When a "Number" monster you control is destroyed, destroy this card.

sleek garnet

Dont think so

starry budget

tropic herald
#

I don't even think I belong in platinum anymore

#

I came back to the game after several days hoping the difficulty level of that rank will go down now that the legends who got ranked down are now back up but nope

#

all the arc-v shit is annoying too

#

yuya just annoys the shit out of me

quick axle
#

If you're getting annoyed at the game, you may as well quit while you're ahead. Whining about things not being fair for your pet deck is getting old.

#

We have already told you that pet decks belong more for a casual environment, which the ladder is anything but.

tropic herald
#

I tried regular 40 deck yugioh and I don't like it as much as the speed duel format

#

it's such a gamble because it's harder to have a better hand

quick axle
#

@sleek garnet My apologies if I'm being direct.

tropic herald
#

whereas with DL, between the 20 cards and character skills, it's easier to get what you want

#

just too bad it's p2w

#

I'd love to play kash or some of the newer meta in DL but alas, it hasnt happened yet

quick axle
tropic herald
#

nobody seems to care much about the nostalgia

#

I don't run into that many people playing DM or even GX stuff outside of heroes, DM or blue eyes

#

remember when solomon muto came out? yet no one played as him. yet when yugo or whatever the arc-v kid's name is came out everyone started playing him

quick axle
#

I'd say, if you're getting completely frustrated at the game, I completely understand. You can just quit and play something else that respects your time and treats you better.

tropic herald
#

look, I'd love to play regular yugioh but I don't like the 40 card minimum limit

quick axle
#

Because believe me, complaining about the game not being fair over and over again and about stuff gets old really fast, and it's not fun for you or for anybody being overly negative. If you're feeling frustrated and you can't take it, the best option you have is not to play. That way, you'll feel less frustrated at stuff.

#

I'm going to be honest. Currently I don't play the game, because I feel like I already had my fill, and I don't feel too great about the current state, and got tired of having to grind for gems over and over again. Instead of complaining to the internet about my woes, I just stopped playing, and I feel better for it.

tropic herald
#

do you just play regular ygo now

quick axle
#

I play Master Duel myself.

#

Also the real game, but gotta admit, the problem about the P2W stuff is more pronounced in the real game.

tropic herald
#

I heard MD was less pay to win

quick axle
#

Due to the card value and how it can get expensive to build certain decks.

tropic herald
#

the 40 card shit just means more gambling and odds

#

speed duel means you can get the shit you want in your hand more easily and bring it out faster

#

and I think that's better

quick axle
#

MD is indeed less P2W, providing that you know what you're doing, but that's neither here nor there.

quick axle
#

As you're advised to play builds with 60 cards in the OCG / TCG unless the deck is specifically built for it, you don't want to play 30 cards in DL for the exact same reasons.

tropic herald
#

it feels like there's less hand consistency with higher card counts though

quick axle
#

Again, it's a relative matter. In the OCG / TCG, there's cards you want to see more on first hands to start your plays. The same thing applies to Speed Duel formats.

tropic herald
#

is there any other place you can do speed duels aside from DL

quick axle
#

The Speed Duel format IRL, which has the preconstructed stuff and that, but otherwise, sorry, I wouldn't know.

#

Also, IIRC, the Speed Duel format isn't seen all that often around here.

tropic herald
#

really disappointing because I find it much better than regular duels

#

yet regular duels have the better looking meta cards like eldlich and kash. I think orcust stuff is meh

#

but in order to use the appealing meta stuff I have to go with the format that has worse odds that I'm not as used to

sleek garnet
#

the 40 card thing isnt as bad as you make it out to be

#

tcg has more 1 card starters and consistency enablers

#

pot of prosperity, for example

quick axle
tropic herald
#

what is a 1 card starter

tropic herald
#

this just applies to those two archetypes though

#

but that alone was enough to scare me

sleek garnet
#

gonna be honest bls and relinquished arent even playable in speed duel format

tropic herald
#

yeah they are

sleek garnet
#

if they were you wouldn't loathe here every day, would you?

tropic herald
#

they're perfectly playable. are they good? not particularly

#

but they're playable

tropic herald
sleek garnet
tropic herald
#

so like, something that starts off your combo?

sleek garnet
#

by itself, yes

tropic herald
#

would junk synchron be another example

#

or buster whelp

sleek garnet
#

without shooting star road, not really

sleek garnet
tropic herald
#

but I always see shooting star players and buster players use those first

#

much like how orcust players like to use scrap recycler first

sleek garnet
#

1 card starter start your combos without you needing to draw any other pieces

#

junk synchron is tecnically a 1 card starter because of your skill

#

but for whelp you still need to have a buster blader in hand

quick axle
#

An example in the real game (before the combo pieces got hit): Tearlaments Reinoheart is a 1-card starter, since it gets me to Kitkallos with a single move, providing that the card doesn't get hit by a handtrap.

sleek garnet
#

or a destruction sword card in hand if you're searching memory

sleek garnet
sonic nimbus
#

Sunseed Genius Loci is another example of a 1 card starter

quick axle
#

[Sunseed Genius Loci]

vivid waveBOT
# quick axle [Sunseed Genius Loci]

level Level: 1
[ Plant / Normal ]

ATK 0 / DEF 600

Effect

This seed can only be harvested from the sacred tree once every thousand years, and will become the guardian spirit of its land after a thousand more.

quick axle
#

And it's just a Normal monster.

#

But "wait" you say: How does a Normal monster be a 1-card starter?

#

Because with it, you summon Sunavalon Dryas and get started.

#

@sonic nimbus Is that about right?

mighty bramble
#

Do you think Orcust is going to be hit

sleek garnet
#

Yes

mighty bramble
#

Well I’m still happy I got my Dingirsu yesterday

quick axle
#

Crystron broke it, so it's no wonder Orcust also broke it.

#

That card is a [Mistake].

vivid waveBOT
sleek garnet
#

Honestly

#

Recycler hit does nothing

#

They need to hit mermaid

#

Otherwise people just run 3 tetherwolf 3 skyblaster and call it a day

mighty bramble
sleek garnet
#

The link 1, yes

mighty bramble
#

It’s already at 1 tho

sleek garnet
#

Correct

#

So either they put another engine card to 1 (release, harp, or orcust knightmare) or just ban the card altogether

quick axle
#

Either that, or put Orcust Knightmare at Limited 1, which accomplishes the same thing.

#

As Mermaid and Knightmare is what makes the combo thrive, IIRC.

#

@sleek garnet Correct me if I'm wrong.

sleek garnet
#

Eh

quick axle
#

Although... nah... that wouldn't work, since they could play Iblee instead.

sleek garnet
#

You could make it world without orc knightmare

quick axle
#

No, banning it would avoid future headaches.

sleek garnet
#

Harp to 1 would be the move, if not a ban

#

works for them since harp is an old card, too

quick axle
#

Unless there's like a surprise hit deck.

#

Like, the Synchron hits past list came out of left field.

sleek garnet
#

2 weeks lmao

#

My petdeck can't have shit

quick axle
#

Just becaose "the deck performed way too well" in the KC Cup.

sleek garnet
#

If you think about it

#

The banlist hits decks that end games too fast rather than the best ones

#

There's obviously a lot of overlap between those but it's not a perfect system

#

they also hit stun a lot but that was brazil's fault

sonic nimbus

none of the meta monsters in duel links are cool

stuff like despia, eldlich or kash can't come soon enough

those are so much cooler than fucking orcust

quick axle
#

@jaunty radish Neither at the moment. Banlist should be coming in the next few days.

#

And it's very probable they're gonna be hitting Orcust.

#

And with so many Orcust variants? My guess is that Mermaid will bite the dust and become Forbidden, plus something else.

jaunty radish
#

Idk yuya have a lot cards,perfomaparls odd eyes magicians. Look first what you can have and build his deck learn plays ,pendulum can do instant win if full summons and immediately attack

quick axle
#

@sleek garnet I dunno if that sounds reasonable.

sleek garnet
#

Ngl the hits to gala, ding, and harp are a bit unneeded

#

The babel variant is fair in the landscape of the game, and people consider the problem to just be that mermaid turns the deck into an engine

#

Dont see them hitting paira nor pend call, either

quick axle
#

Then probably hitting Mermaid would be the only sensible choice.

#

Mermaid is just that ridonkulous.

#

And yeah, Mermaid turns Orcust into an exploitable engine.

#

Anyway, I was thinking on ways to cut off access to Limited 3 cards, that was it.

dapper grotto
#

they should definitely hit Orcust Knightmare somehow.

#

Maybe put Knightmare and another Orcust to 2? I dunno.

quick axle
#

Remember, Mermaid is what makes the one-card engine work.

dapper grotto
#

Unfortunately, I've also seen people use the Babel variant instead of Mermaid, so I'm not so sure.

quick axle
#

Probably putting Orcust Knightmare to Limited 1 could solve the issue.

#

Alongside Mermaid to Forbidden.

sleek garnet

I know Orcust are probably gonna get hit but I invested in them anyway before because no other new deck really interests me

Hopefully they'll ban Smoke Grenade of the Thief preemptively if that's the case.

Either that or put it at Limited 1.

#

And make it conflict with something else.

That thing would certainly break Isolde.

#

Probably not. Sounds like a reasonable preemptive hit.

#

If they bring Isolde, of course.

half sphinx
#

I wouldn't be surprised by them bringing Isolde, because a lot of the archetypes we know are most likely in the next box don't seem that powerful

quick axle

Isolde could be the next bundle card.

Sealed Tombs / Prescience...

dapper grotto

Because she's a beautiful young woman who can Seal your Tombs for a Musical Instrument's profit.

Mirror matches tend to be extremely painful when it comes to that. me_dead

Sealed Tombs is basically a pocket Necrovalley that cannot be countered.

And it was way more powerful than that before. I still remember the heydays of Dark Magician using Sealed Tombs.

Huh

#

I guessed keith revolver yugo

dapper grotto
#

I thought Revolver at first, but he's more of an anti-meta pick.

I thought it would be a 50/50 split between yuto and yuya for odd eyes players so i didnt think either would make it

fallen kestrel
#

If a deck is too good, the whole deck likely gets nerfed, specifically its starters and searchers

#

I assume ur referring to farfa, and it is a powerful card

#

Power ≠ Rarity all the time

white stirrup
#

Mekknights are better overall

small fern
#

eh fair, esp. with newer sets ranking stuff N or R when it woulda gotten SR or UR back in Ultimate Destruction

#

i.e. alien warrior and archfiend soldier being R (which makes them a lot more painful to get, somehow), whereas Vorse Raider was SR

Not much all things considered

#

Babel orcust never used it and mermaid builds are

#

Well

quick axle
#

Mermaid was Mermaid.-

#

Mermaid was overcentralizing, and it allowed for token generators to use it and abuse it.

I see

So it’d still be safe to build it?

Orcust I mean

jaunty radish

No ban for orcust ❤️
But knightmare mermaid 🧜‍♀️ is not a little to much for be forbidden?

#

Knightmare Mermaid, even at Limited 1, it basically made Orcust an engine for other decks to use.

Which is an unhealthy mess.

Tbh the reason I wanna make Blackwings is because of the upcoming raid event

Effect

If a "Performapal" or "Odd-Eyes" monster you control attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step.

i spent 950 gems on crystal wing, haven't used in ranked so far but i know i'll get a lot mileage out of it in other pvp events

now should keep up the synchro pattern and go for trishula or my personal favorite like one for one?

#

one for one might get interesting when ruri releases

#

this is the only time i seek counsel on an important investment decision

#

current legacy scene be like:

#

i love legacy meta

#

no book of moon, no lava golem, no mask change, no links, no mirror force, no gravetraps, no archetypes that run exclusively based on how many times i can banish my stuff in 1 turn

#

problem is dinosaur don't have their strong stuff, no crystal beasts, hero counterattack, etc

1st time I won against a toxic deck kek

mighty bramble
#

I was going against a Gravekeepers player and they surrendered the second I destroyed their first Necrovalley

pastel lotus
#

ok i figured out why bubble shuffle is so good in legacy

#

it basically functions as a substitute enemy controller

#

and you get to "evolve" bubbleman into a more powerful attacker

#

the obvious tell is having bubbleman in attack position but since its rarely seen and bubble shuffle chains to removal anyways

dapper grotto
#

Hmm...might try it out sometime.

pastel lotus
#

i really like yuya's deck

#

large number of types represented, large variations in level range, can acclimatize themselves to (at the time) any extra deck special summon method

#

it was pretty much the epitome of diversity

#

plus most of them are splashable into other decks since the effects are not highly archetypal

Lunalight Tiger, if it comes, probably it's getting restricted prior to release.

is it an arc-v thing but the synchro one still can't exist anymore, idk

So the same thing applies for the Pendant Girls.

The pendant girls are Zuzu (main), Celina (Fusion), Rin (Synchro) and Lulu (Xyz).

and possibly also without fusion dragon guy (yuri) who deleted yugo but idk if i read correctly

white stirrup
#

They will all be added anyway

#

No matter what the Story is

pastel lotus
#

+1 point for ms guide

#

my theories on why pendulum wasn't too widespread in arc-v anime (out of universe)

#

duels might take too long

#

they get tired of designing 2 sets of effects for every monster

#

only times i can remember yuya going up against a pendulum user is sawatari (yosenju), reiji (ddd), leo akaba (spiritual governor something, its unprinted), dennis (entermage)

#

serena will have lines with parasite fusioner but its unusable in her native deck unless you splash in some other fusion monsters that can use it

#

serena was the only girl to get pendulums but she only used them once

#

gongenzaka had pendulums but only used them in synchro city

#

i want rin to get in but since konami actually follows in-show introduction order >_>

#

have to wait until winter probs

#

now should i buy trishula or one for one

#

one is the classic first gen synchro dragon boss

#

the other one lets you fill the graveyard with something and lets me out any level 1 from deck

#

which has amazing utility beyond even synchro

#

crystal wing already bought

#

also i love ds carly's convo with z-one, she is such an unabashed jack simp

pastel lotus

does anyone actually miss the dm anime approach where they actually voice the character's thoughts?

#

DSOD is very decently populated for having 4 on-movie duelists (joey didn't have a chance 😔)

#

given it also reflects its manga predecessor

if duel links does follow the character's on screen appearance order then i am in for a bit of a wait

since i think mizar was the last emperor, unless they do vector last

white stirrup
scenic grove
pastel lotus
#

i think the only worlds that don't really follow appearance order, even loosely, are dm and dsod

#

dm is whoever they want now

#

actually dm did follow appearance order somewhat since pegasus was added before yami marik

#

gx has a lot of skipped characters, any of the seven stars, amon garam, mizuchi saiou, yusuke fujiwara (s4 villain)

#

5ds has 2 incomplete set of villains but zexal gets all 3 brothers in

#

nasch has the most cards out of the 7, so regardless of appearance order, he might get added pretty late

#

hope they release more ddd stuff so it can be t1 again

Sounds like the next logical step tbh

Maybe a Zexal Road event for it

probably won't be until alito mizar dumon and vector are added

i forgor whether it was TG or Crystron that was bigger

fallen kestrel

I dont know, but crystron is way better

pastel lotus
#

TG had no protection

#

it was concentrated synchro

#

it was released in the last set of 5ds, extreme victory

#

before it could get more useful support, zexal came and komoney diverted everything into promoting xyz

#

the only tg synchro that really mattered was hyper librarian since its free draw whenever you successfully synchro spam

#

antinomy is mainly remembered for the memes

#

entermate was based on tg in that it was a motley bunch in terms of attributes, types, and levels

#

also real life circuses also took in all kinds of people and animals so

from a protagonist with a diverse lineup of monsters, the next show went into the mono-cyberse duelist

Though references to certain characters aside, Dystopia is sick as much as it’s evolution is an abomination of D-HERO art

Also is this actually the debut set of Spirit of the Pharaoh?

#

Though more Monarch stuff is also really neat

drowsy holly

I mostly want Dystopia because as a one off it's actually fine. There's a couple of ways that D Heroes can manipulate their atk, and it's one of the higher attack D Heroes that can be summoned easily.

it'd give D-fusion its actual boss to go into

the first box that i can remember that explicitly tethered itself to the end of the month character release is infernity destruction

dapper grotto
#

LMAO

#

Shop Maint when the new box comes out

#

idc since i am stockpiling gems for one for one

#

don't see any must-own cards anyways

#

horn of heaven when

#

cyber twin dragon got released in a water box

#

d-hero dystopia guy got released in a light box

#

like what's with these out of place anime fusion mons?

So uh

#

Solomon has BE as his Ace?

#

I understand why but I really wished he had some of the Exodia Monsters as his Ace

pastel lotus
#

i bought one for one

#

could probably help for some memey exodia plays

#

the packs that came with it didn't give me anything i wanted

#

main box curse

#

vylon prism is a pretty good tuner

#

combine with megamorph and what you equipped prism to will definately rip some shizz up

dapper grotto
#

Spent 2k gems to get a Crusadia Regulus RARE. Oof lol

#

I did get Dystopia and Wonder Driver along the way, so it wasn't that bad.

#

Definitely gonna try out D Heroes after Crusadia.

Wait

#

Let me check my monarch pool rq

#

Hmm

#

No erebus is tough but i have some dream tickets laying around

mighty bramble
#

I decided to check what Monarch specific stuff I have

hazy crow
#

Can someone explain to me how Dimension destroyed Yazi? Dimension is a targeting card, and Yazi is immune to targetting effects right?

Effect

If you control a Spellcaster monster: Target 1 monster you control; Tribute that target, then Special Summon 1 Spellcaster monster from your hand, then you can destroy 1 monster on the field.

quick axle
hazy crow
#

So if the effect is like, in general destroy 1 monster (to any field) it bypasses Yazi??

quick axle
hazy crow
#

I see, that's why the card only specify 1 monster and it doesn't "target" at all

#

I'll keep this in mind kek

quick axle
#

Also, Target is an effect condition.

nvm hahaha

Im searching for a Dimension like "targeting"

quick axle
#

Dingirsu doesn't target either.

hazy crow
#

Ohhhhhh

quick axle
#

And so it doesn't Chaos Dragon Levianeer.

hazy crow
#

Aaaand Trishulas

#

Magical Dimension isn't even a guaranteed destroy, so it bypasses destroy-negation

pastel lotus
#

anything that lets the user choose which cards to distribute x effect to during resolution is a non-targetting card

#

see spellbooks

pastel lotus
#

and then cards like hammer shot don't select anything at all, it goes to whichever meets the condition at time of resolution

quick axle
#

Ironically, back in the old days, cards like Fissure and Smashing Ground were too good.

#

Before Power Creep.

Wow Gramps really runs as contendor for worst Skills

#

"Whoa you summoned Obelisk!? Let me just add the same Monster to my hand."

sleek garnet
#

If only his exodia skill wasn't somehow worse than yugi's

quick axle
#

Way too slow to work?

#

If they decide to add them somehow, I would say that the Grandpa's Cards skill would need to be changed, so it doesn't activate if you already have even a copy of those cards on your deck.

sleek garnet
#

Also the gameplan is just too clunky to work

sleek garnet
#

Without using the extra deck

  • Lose 1000 LP
  • Add exodia's head to your deck
  • Draw it
  • Live a turn, lose 1000 LP
  • Send 2 pieces to the GY
  • Live a turn, lose 1000 LP
  • Summon head, tribute it for incarnate
  • Make incarnate stick for 2 turns, GAIN LP, then lose 1000 LP
  • Send the other 2 pieces to the GY
  • Make incarnate live for 2 more turns
#

Congrats you won now

#

Like, you can maybe use [dark factory of mass production] to not have to wait until turn 13

vivid waveBOT
sleek garnet
#

Still is an awful gameplan tho

pastel lotus
#

i really liked the default skill

#

at least its not the same extra deck guidance skill i've seen a hundred times

#

i run pendulums to make up for the lack of an extra deck the first skill imposes

#

also there's a bit wordplay with our last 2 entrants

#

yuugo in may

#

sugoroku in june

#

don't think i don't notice komoney

quick axle
#

Considering my limited japanese knowledge.

pastel lotus
#

nothing its just in the same numbered month

#

its definately intentional from their end

quick axle
#

Then it's what I thought.

#

June being the sixth numbered month.

sleek garnet
#

Ok

#

Hear me out

#

Next month's character is not gonna be Celina, it's Dennis

quick axle
sleek garnet
#

I mean

#

Aside from the twitter controversy

#

There's still a chance copium

mighty bramble
#

I still wanna build Monarchs but even with having some of the older stuff it’s still going to take a bit

#

And that’s not even counting the Squires if there’s any necessary ones

sleek garnet
#

Realistically you dont really need much of the old support

#

Funnily enough kuraz is one of the only old monarchs that trigger on special summon so that's your usual ether target

brisk pawn
#

I wonder how is battlin boxers going to go once alito comes

#

Will his skill boost it

#

Or will his new cards give it power

sleek garnet
#

Erebus and eidos are in aerial assault, raiza is in shining sunrise

#

And escalation is on crusader's battlegrounds

#

You probably need to dig for 3 edea tho

pastel lotus
#

dennis is more based but i think they will shill the girl next

sleek garnet
pastel lotus
#

it will get quirky new skills

#

but they don't have like an ultra powerful field magic or anything

#

maybe some skill relating to rum the seventh one

3 Level 4 monsters
During either player's Battle Step, if a "Battlin' Boxer" monster you control battles an opponent's monster: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the effects of the opponent's monster until the end of the turn, that monster you control cannot be destroyed by that battle, also your opponent takes any battle damage you would have taken from that battle.

Bigger question is

#

Will we get lead yoke?

pastel lotus
#

this is definately a box ace when his release month gets pinned down

sleek garnet
#

The deck lives and dies on that card exactly

#

zexal already has 3 chad archetypes, this, heroic challenger/champion, and zw which lets hope sweep anything

#

burning knuckler actually gets counter traps though

#

idk if veil at limit 3 actually affects their gameplan

mighty bramble
#

I can’t use it

sleek garnet
#

Isnt it a ticket card?

mighty bramble
#

Is it?

sleek garnet
#

I think so

pastel lotus
#

star cestus summoning animation will be fire!

#

i definately plan to play it more than shiranui or that vrains archetype

mighty bramble
sleek garnet
#

lmao

mighty bramble
#

I even used one of my Prismatic tickets on one

pastel lotus
#

alito will at the very least, be more useful than hands

#

simply for being a warrior chad

mighty bramble
#

Here’s what I got for Monarchs before Prime

dapper grotto
mighty bramble
#

What

dapper grotto
#

None of the new or Erebus means it's not a great idea to get into Monarchs.

sleek garnet
#

Society if we had stormforth

#

The ether package kinda sucks without it

dapper grotto
#

I only got an Erebus in my card pool atm.

#

Yeah, you absolutely need 3 of Edea and the dark vassal.

mighty bramble
#

Is the rest good enough

dapper grotto
#

No.

#

They don't even play those.

sleek garnet
#

You probably need escalation

dapper grotto
#

These are the bread and butter of getting your tributes.

pastel lotus
#

they don't want to release dumon because chair too strong

#

its still limit 2

dapper grotto
#

Along with:

#

As your choice of good monarchs.

sleek garnet
#

Reminder that the skill requires you to use 6 high level monarchs and 6 monarch s/ts

#

Kinda hate how bad the second half of the skill is

#

"Hmm yes, let me wait until turn 4 to trade 2 play starters for a brick, that's what the deck needs"

pastel lotus
#

skills with deck construction requirements will always force one to play their deck linearly

#

which is why i prefer non-archetypal decks

#

terrible for climbing but i least i can choose when to connect the dots, not when my effects tell me to
