Doubtful. He was one of the central characters in regards of the cult plot in the latter half of season 1 (or english season 2), and considering the controversy in regards of the former Carly's japanese VA, needless to say, the production team discarded any resemblance to cults for japanese season 2 and changed what would have been Iliaster as a whole.

i think chronos was the only antagonist was wasn't edgy, even though gx was a series of exponentially edgier villains as its run time went on
chronos had petty vendetta with judai, he disliked him without actually driving the main plot (actually maybe he did since he dispatched titan to deal with judai)
amnael kept up his serene behavior so i guess he also counts as non-edgy
but i like to focus on fujiwara since nothing actually prevents him from appearing in the game asides from needing an english va appointed to him
i have past affection for the character as well

I don't think they care about referencing sayer because he was in a game as recently as link evolution which also covered his plot

Is it just me or is the new blue eyes skill kinda worse than ultimate dragons?
But yea like, losing on the galaxy eyes, dingirsu, linkuriboh, levianeer, crystal wing, and vermillion dragon mech is probably too big of a drawback
Having to run 9 blue eyes monsters is also rough
Like, what are you running? 3 bewd 1 alt 3 sdow 2 abyss?
If it counts extra deck it gets much better, of course
If we get the new-ish ritual spell that ritual summons from the deck using normal monsters in hand the deck goes crazy, too

During this Duel, you can Normal Summon/Set "Elemental HERO Neos" and "Yubel" without Tributing. If you receive damage from your opponent's card effect when your Life Points are at 2000 or below, your opponent will lose Life Points equal to the amount of damage you took.
Each time you summon a "Elemental HERO Neos" or a "Yubel" monster, you can activate one of these effects:
●Send 1 "Yubel" that was Normal or Flip Summoned this Turn to the Graveyard to set 1 "Yubel - Terror Incarnate" to your field from outside the Deck. If you control a "Yubel - Terror Incarnate" that was Normal or Flip Summoned this Turn, you can send it instead to set 1 "Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare" to your field from outside the Deck.
●Add 1 "Miracle Contact" from outside your Deck to your Hand. If you have "Elemental HERO Neos" or "Super Polymerization" in your Deck, you can add 1 of them to your Hand instead.

Rules
Every monster above lvl 1-2 require tributes
Lvls 3 and 4 need 1
Lvls 5 and 6 need 2
Lvls 7-9 need 3
Lvls 10-12 need 4
Spells must be set face down on the field for 1 whole turn to be activated and can only be activated during main phases 1 and 2 unless it's a quick play spell
Traps work the same as other formats
Each player starts with 12000 lp and there aren't any direct attacks.
Players can only draw if the card(s) drawn won't make the number of cards in hand go above 5 (Maximum hand limit)
Both players start with 3 cards in hand and can't draw on either of their first turns
Players can only attack with 1 monster per turn
Decks are 60 - 80 cards
Field setup is identical to the master duel format except for extra monster zones

I don't have the gems nor time to grind both. 😦
A game of commitment, classical gacha fall trap.
I dunno how much longer the game will last, though.
If you ask me, using the same gem currency for both Speed Duels and Rush Duels has to be the worst mistake Konami ever did for Duel Links, since now, if you want to play RD mode and you were playing Speed Duels, then you won't have enough gems, and therefore, you'll have to pay for gems / packs in order to keep up,
And no ways to craft box cards out of dust, it means that UR and SR Stones remain mostly unused, except for crafting Card Trader stuff.
I apologize if I may seem like a broken record.

i don't really understand the complaints about using the same gem resource. even if they used two different resources there's no reason to expect that they would give us more gems overall. it would only mean that you lose choice over which to invest more in and half or so of a month's gem intake would be worthless to some players

what I said
you draw 5 cards every turn
you set 3 every turn
dragias is really good precisely because it gets you 4 attacks so people can't turtle forever
or piercing effects or battle position changing
robust void
that being said it is really hard to make a comeback in RD right now for someone who got hit directly first because even if that player draws into a way to break the opponents board, if the opponent just draws another strong tribute monster then they can do the same to you but you're now in the position to be otk'd because they just got hit first. and traps suck right now so there's no real defensive walling

So you can simply just attack them back

so basically battle phase matters?
and whoever that got the upper hand keeps the upper hand?

I'm not gonna lie
This shit kinda sucks
Maybe play 1 ultimate nightmare or wiseman

Unlike hero alliance summoning neos here doesnt accomplish shit
Maybe could cut it to 1
Maybe play a neos fusion package with brave and grand neos
Neos kluger must be fusion summoned which neos fusion does not, but you can at least get neos in gy for the miracle contact
Probably better

We cant keep playing bacon saver forever
This deck sucks ass i'm gonna lab blue eyes instead
Local man refuses to play 20 cards
I wish i could play levianeer so bad rn
Maybe cut veiler to 1 or 2 and play some karma cuts, it is searchable after all
Chaos max is kinda cope, abyss can only search it in the end phase, preparation of rites only adds lvl 7 or lower rits so that's a no-go
You could play manju but lmao
Weirdly enough the skill allows you to ritual summon anything, not just light dragons
Not sure what exactly you would use that for but it's an option
blue eyes nekroz, trust
Deck's also so telegraphed that your opponent will not summon stuff in defense under any circumstance, so ramming chaos max into a monster and deal double piercing will be hard to do
If you're enough of a crackhead you could play block attack

why is s-force performing so badly in DL wrt tier lists
it should have a consistent board wipe set up going first and going second it still can dodge some interruptions
sleek garnet
It did get some tops at launch but
Couldnt exactly keep up with the rest
Justify pass just isnt that great of a board
@dapper grotto ok so, legit question
The pass no one buys now gives both 17 packs each of the speed and rush boxes, the price is still 1.5k gems
You think it's worth it?
robust void
justify pass sounds worse than filling all 3 zones and setting s-force chase then banishing their entire field
robust void
no, if you have s-force gravitino on field it banishes everything (well other than backrow)
he should normally be there because you prob used him to get chase
sleek garnet
Oh
Right
Honestly
The thing with s force is that they dont really do much going second
And are kinda reliant on seeing chiyomaru going first
robust void
they have 9 chiyos with the upcoming support
technically 12 with reinforce truth
i could see going second being a problem but the fact theres less zones still sounds pretty good? like if you can get two monsters on field nd still end with chase on t2 a banish two of their monsters seems like it would be hard for most things to recover from. maybe im underestimating the strongest decks right now though. they have a better going second plan with the upcoming boss monster too
i feel like theres a possiblity its being slept on because its such a meme in the tcg/ocg
also justify pass can seem like the correct play when its not necessarily
sleek garnet
Iirc the main thing holding s force back was just
Lack of representation
So it could be that it's actually a sleeper meta threat
robust void
i really wish i could buy into it and see how it does since im used to playing it

this is random as hell but it always reminded me of an old touchmaster machine in a restaurant I went to and my favorite game on it was a soccer game where you could choose 1 of 3 different colored teams or cows and play against human characters and I picked the cows every time. I might be the only person here old enough to even know what a touchmaster is now though
