Likely they bricked
#rush_duels
desert cosmos
dusk sleet
And Shining Flare Wingman would just be cracked
uncut badger
Or they're a maximum deck
dusk sleet
It already can reach pretty high ATK values, but in Rush Duels, it's even better
[Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman]
valid cave
i think you're most likely to keep a scary spell/trap in hand
tender orioleBOT
[Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman]
Level: 8
[ Warrior / Fusion / Effect ]
ATK 2500 / DEF 2100
valid cave
so aqua dolphin shooting monsters isnt very helpful
valid cave
...this thing better not be written like skyscraper
uncut badger
Oh no
valid cave
thatd be like the longest card text in rush
dusk sleet
Also, it's a pretty useful first turn monster
uncut badger
Wait
dusk sleet
Use it, then tag something that's gonna be used to further plays, like say, Necromaid Nana, or the wide variety of "draw 1" type support
stuck summit
my guess is shining flare wingman is gonna count warriors
dusk sleet
At least Aqua Dolphin's getting it better than Flare Scarab
All Flare Scarab can be is a beatstick in most cases.
stuck summit
i really like heat and pulse's designs
dusk sleet
Yeah!
They feel like natural reimaginings of neos fusions
Previously they were like this
tardy mica
warriors with dif names
valid cave
nah
i think flare scarab is much better than aqua dolphin in rush
desert cosmos
...this thing *better* not be written like skyscraper
Watch it be.
dusk sleet
a[Elemental HERO Flare Neos]
tender orioleBOT
a[Elemental HERO Flare Neos]
dusk sleet
Which isn't bad but it barely resembles Neos
desert cosmos
That's the idea
The master duel neos Fusions resemble their neo spacian more
While the rush ones are more of Neos
uncut badger
The new neos dudes look like modern ultraman designs
dusk sleet
Most you'll be cracking with Flare Scarab is 1700 ATK. (Or, 2100 if your opponent has a field spell up too)
Which is pretty high up there, but Elemental HERO Sparkman already reaches 1600 ATK without needing the effect to do so
Of course this is assuming the effect is 1:1. It very well may be different
valid cave
its not really special, but that does make it just a functional beater when youre not contacting!
aqua dolphin just... doesn't do anything
it can discard a card that you don't want just to empty your hand and de-brick i guess?
dusk sleet
Aqua Dolphin to me feels like it'll excell in going first
dusk sleet
So it's a case-by case thing. Also as said, it can really put some pain on Maximum-focused decks, since some of the individual maximum monsters have lower ATK than the complete set
Worst-case scenario it may just be regulated to side deck duty.
...Also wow Excutie getting fusions now
uncut badger
The excutie fusion nukes the field, draws 20, and revives 3 level 6 monsters from either graveyard
dusk sleet
Yep
It's more Goha propaganda
I mean, how else do you explain a deck around so much level 6 monsters, that really hates anything above that number
desert cosmos
...Also wow Excutie getting fusions now
Not just a any Fusion, a contact one.
dusk sleet
Yeah!
dusk sleet
You'll need both Lilius and Lumiere on the field ideally
A little easier now given Excutie Lilius is now Semi-Limited
desert cosmos
I mean those are already good on their own. So imagine fusing them.
desert cosmos
A little easier now given Excutie Lilius is now Semi-Limited
She likely going back to 3.
dusk sleet
I'm a little unsure of how great Lilius really tend to be, given it's a beatstick all in all
dusk sleet
In a deck using em though, it's pretty substansial how helpful it can get
uncut badger
The new fusion is making whoever monster it destroys by battle be put to 1 on the banlist
dusk sleet
Everyone's lining up to destroy Praime Dwarf
uncut badger
Brb, raiding konami so that we can import magical hats to destroy secret gate by battle
dusk sleet
That actually would be pretty cool a port
valid cave
so i know yall are excited about heroes, and im excited about cuties
but can we talk about the other fusion there?
so furst off "the ever-present princess of heaven" goes hard as a name
valid cave
but it's a contact fusion of specter of heaven's end and specter of heaven's beginning
which summon eachother and are just playable staples on their own!
so like im pretty confident shes busted even without knowing what she does
dusk sleet
Yeah, it's absurd how helpful they are in throwing stuff to the GY
About the only real competition they have is Legend Magician
valid cave
shed have to be like a 2000/0 vanilla to be bad
desert cosmos
I wonder if the berry theme is getting a contact fusion
Since everyone and their mother seems to be getting one
uncut badger
The amount of contempt every time rush gets brought up in gen actually makes me upset
uncut badger
The people who complain about ygo having a lack of option problem are the exact same people who groan when literally anything other than current gets brought up
Its actually insane
stuck summit
wow that's a pretty huge boost
valid cave
okay now your berry freshes have 700 atk instead of 100 
stuck summit
i'd imagine they have some way of increasing their attack like how love angels do
dusk sleet
The amount of contempt every time rush gets brought up in gen actually makes me ...

probably!
dusk sleet
The one weakness of Excutie
Block Attack
valid cave
dependent on how much though whether the +600 is relevant though
dusk sleet
I mean, Love Angel stuff has like 0 ATK, but then they get ATK super rapidly
So they will likely have ways to bring the hurt
lusty venture
yup
berry fresh already swings for 2200 with creek
while simultaneously turning the sent monster (assuming 100 atk cuz theme) into a heatflash-ish
stuck summit
we out here summoning berries in the wetlands
dusk sleet
Yep!
uncut badger
Yea
Heaven's beginning is a 1 card fusion monster now (not counting setup)
Which is kinda crazy in terms of powercreep
uncut badger
Anyway i kinda want to go on a bit of a rant
Why are maximums so underutilized?
Ever since the mechanic came out, we have only 18 of them, 3 of them didnt come from either the anime or manga, and 3 and didnt underperform in the meta
What went wrong?
dusk sleet
Honestly, from what I noticed, Fusion happened
stuck summit
i think a big problem with maximums is that if your deck has even one of them you need to build the entire deck around it or it's just dead weight a lot of the time
dusk sleet
It's just usually more efficient to dedicate a very big monster to your deck if it's a fusion monster, rather than using up 3 specific monsters just to maximum summon
It's a consistency nightmare of a fashion
tardy mica
catching up on go rush and good lord the phaser arc destroyed the impact of maximums so much
dusk sleet
One thing to note is also, you kinda have to rely on Maximum monsters when you do a Maximum summon.
Which means, if you can't account for a specific kind of card, your plan will end up collapsing on itself
Just ask anyone whos ran into a Magic Cylinder
stuck summit
watching it as it came out felt even worse since they revealed what phaser's maximum did like a month before the episode it debuted in aired
dusk sleet
Man, they did Poseidra dirty
Used to be a cool sea dragon that the Atlantean's kept
Now it's some... guy.
uncut badger
Its also a centaur
For some reason
Anyway i'm very mad because i wanted to make one of the main characters in my game use beelucitaroth but the card is so bad it makes me want to scream
dusk sleet
Yeaaah, it's one of those series that really goes all in on Maximum summon, but isn't too impressive all in all
A shame, since it's one of the very original themes out there, with Harpie Lady
uncut badger
It has the problem with a lot of other rush cards where it was designed to combat the current meta enviroment exactly
And then falls off a cliff once it inevitably shifts
dusk sleet
The deal with forbidding opponents from setting cards is an interesting one though
It does force confrontation, which is pretty climatic
uncut badger
Not not setting lockdown is from desparacion
Beelucitaroth is a 3k guy that gains 600 and piercing until the end of turn by milling 1, trap destruction protection and immunity to being destroyed by battle by normal monsters
uncut badger
Yea it was a direct response to gate order
which it mostly failed at because the card is not good
tardy mica
yeah poseidra looked awful
the phaser arc is imo the worst arc by far of the series since bridge took over
boring duels, godawful villains,
and doing that to my beloved maximums
uncut badger
I would've said the goha employee arc was worse if not by yuga goha showing up
But yea the phaser arc was pretty middling
tardy mica
goha employee arc at least had the zombie episode that was fun
uncut badger
They did my boy manabu dirty 
valid cave
the thing with beeluci is that like
of course a low-level maximum is expected to be weaker than a high-level maximum, but
tardy mica
i wouldn't call any of the phaser arc duels entertaining
valid cave
most of the maximum support is built around level 10s
so a maximum that has zero level 10 pieces is much harder to summon than the actual boss maximum
if it just had actually efficient enablers that worked on it then itd be perfectly fine
but rn it just offers maximum monster names fur cards that care about that
uncut badger
Yea it mostly exists as disparacion's personal discard fodder
Which sucks because the card has some of the coolest art in ygo
On another note
I kinda just realized that maximum's "built in" protection is pretty underwhelming once you take them out of the context of rush
tardy mica
yep
maximum is perfectly designed within the confines of rush but it's pretty garbo outside that vacuum
tardy mica
watching phaser vs tiny alien simp girl
er, tremolo
no i won't be bothered to remember Zwijo's inferior simp's name
uncut badger
I kinda just realized that maximum's "built in" protection is pretty underwhelmi...
Lemme correct that
It's bad IN context
It loses to so much stuff nowadays
Like literally any legend card
tardy mica
the mechanic desperately needs some more and better generic support
it's got vibes too immaculate to be left in the dust
uncut badger
I'm still dumbfounded that in 4 years of rush we only have 18 maximums
tardy mica
and like a third of them are just over road in different forms
uncut badger
There's more GEMINI monsters than maximums
tardy mica
i get they want to maintain the spectacle of them somewhat
but then why did they make the phaser arc
uncut badger
Mechanic's so desperate for support the best that duel links could come up with was just treating the pieces as reusable tribute fodder and atk reduction spells
valid cave
mind, duel links specifically is terrified of the idea of consistent maximums
it couldve given maximums incredible support effortlessly if it wanted
but it doesn't want maximum turbo to be a deck because it'd be unfun and require huge removal infrastructure to not render the game unplayable
i don't think it's unreasonable to expect, at some point in the future, that duel links will get a skill thats like "once per turn, reveal abyss kraken middle in your hand: add abyss kraken left and right from your deck to your hand, you can't normal summon for the rest of this turn"
but thatd only be after the power level is high enough
uncut badger
Honestly
The main thing i'm concern with in terms of DL Rush is the board wipes i.e. dark hole and burst stream of destruction
Since yknow, 6k lp game
valid cave
otherwise
maximums are just kinda hard to fit into a set fur the most part, i think that's why there's so few of them
there always have to be 3 slots dedicated to them
specifically, 3 slots of the same rarity
and maximums are usually big flashy monsters that innately want to be in a high rarity by nature
thats literally what theyre designed fur, the mechanic is made to be cool above all else
but it's not very practical to dedicate 3 of your 8 over rush rare card slots in a main set to the same heccn card
so theyre usually relegated to side sets that can fit whatever into them
uncut badger
Oh, i havent considered the rarity aspect, that makes sense
Btw when was the last printed maximum printed?
desert cosmos

maximums are just kinda hard to fit into a set fur the most part, i th...
I'll wait until they start priting modular parts
desert cosmos
Something like a new part treated as yggdrago L in hand. Should work.

wind harbor
Yes
valid cave
december of 2023 yeah
uncut badger
Oh dear
wind harbor
we 100% see another max or 2 by the end of go rush
tardy mica
i wanted to make a rock maximum custom but i could never figure out what i wanted to do with it
maximum CACs are so hard to do right
wind harbor
that are somehow even worse than what we already have
uncut badger
~~that are somehow even worse than what we already have~~
Watch, its gonna be like
valid cave
in terms of set release schedule, orp2 was the most recent major side set and included a maximum monster reprint, while hc01 was the one that came befur that and had a new maximum in it
uncut badger
Trap destruction protection, it can put 1 level 4 or lower monster in the top of the deck, and it gains 300 atk by discarding 1
valid cave
so with maximums not being generally printed in main sets, id say thats pretty expected
uncut badger
Its base atk is 2700
wind harbor
next set after kp18 should be mrp3 going by last year's schedule
so I could see them printing the meeg max there maybe?
valid cave
honestly, meeg max could just go into any main set at this point in the common slots, if any max belongs as filler it's that
tardy mica
mhm
that was prob one of the worst parts of phaser arc
half the cast becoming jobbers to a literal nobody
wind harbor
Yudias drawing fusion at any point finishes the arc
uncut badger
Asaka...
valid cave
(although its art would benefit a lot from being in over rush rare)
wind harbor

uncut badger

Wait, what?
tardy mica
i'll be honest thats stretching into the corkboard territory
tardy mica
thank you for actually spoiler barring that
wind harbor
||The scene of him returning to earth has several different elements from the Sevens one||
tardy mica
so far the show seems to be on an upswing because of ||Epoch|| partially after phaser arc being a trash fire
i just finished ep 69
wind harbor
you'll soon get into the territory of ||what being renewed for a third year mid-season does to a show's plot||

Can we go for one yugioh show without any major production issues happening?
JUST ONCE?

you get the Yudias is a shirt arc instead

wind harbor
They should have released the design irl ngl
uncut badger
Ygo 9 will return to master duels and make ppl remember why they changed to rush to begin with
wind harbor
ygo 9 will replace contact fusion with synchro and the first synchro deck will be forgotten for 3 years, as is tradition...
uncut badger
Ygo 9 will make yuga solve classism by building a bridge
tardy mica
i love Yuga so much
my perfect chaotic good gremlin child
wind harbor
you joke, but there's a very real possibilty they keep Yuga for ygo 9 and never finish any of his go rush plots...
wind harbor
surely they'll close the Otes thing by the end of ygo 9, right...
uncut badger
He basically doesnt interact with the cast at all
tardy mica
what do you mean
||Otes is the stupid OS he built to filter out ladybugs from his vision||
that was another insulting bit of the Phaser arc
stuck summit
yugioh 9 will be an even further in the past prequel where they finally show the card games on forklifts that were mentioned in that one episode of sevens
wind harbor
what do you mean
||Otes is the stupid OS he built to filter out ladybugs from hi...
||it's unfortunately even more complicated than that||
uncut badger
Yugioh 9 will go so far back yuga will have to become ygo's version of dr stone
wind harbor
last time we ended up with Otes being ||Yuamu||
tardy mica
||i'd like to congratulate him on his transition then||
wind harbor
the s2 finale was a doozy
uncut badger
Delete damamu from the show?
tardy mica
he's worse Kaizo
essentially
Kaizo being around to simp over Rovian would at least make Yuna's toxic bisexual arc more interesting
uncut badger
Kaizo got the salarymen duel which is infinitely funnier than whatever damamu did or will do
wind harbor
Damamu is there to handwave some shit later on ngl
tardy mica
he's just there so they can use the egil velgear stock footage whenever Zwijo duels
uncut badger
Oh yea
tardy mica
that's his entire purpose in the show
uncut badger
||aint zwijo a jobber now?||
wind harbor
like, it's 100% how they get contact fusion, given there's a Damamu ep coming up right before the arc finale
wind harbor
||aint zwijo a jobber now?||
he 100% ||beats Yudias next ep to shill contact fusion||
uncut badger
||Ah, the revolver tactics, i see i see||
wind harbor
Tho this leads to a question about the arc finale
is it ||Zwijo and Meister vs Yudias and Yuhi||?
tardy mica
i can tell by this point in go rush they were starting to run low on the respect women juice they stocked up on for sevens
wind harbor
||Meister debuted contact and beat Zwijo tho||
uncut badger
Surely Yuamu is still gonna carry the show right?
wind harbor
so at least that's something
uncut badger
Right?
tardy mica
yeah
wind harbor
Surely Yuamu is still gonna carry the show right?
surely she's not gonna ||dissapear at the end of the season||
uncut badger
For me at least it seems like a very uncohesive pile of cards
wind harbor
How does it function?
it doesn't unfortunately
uncut badger
Requiem feels like the worst anime ace from the rush era
And dian keto is literally right there
tardy mica
hasn't galaxy kinda centralized around dwarf fusion stuff
uncut badger
And oblivion is a vanilla
uncut badger
hasn't galaxy kinda centralized around dwarf fusion stuff
Hasnt the entire game centralized around that
tardy mica
idk
uncut badger
From the tournament results posted yesterday
tardy mica
i don't keep up with rush metagame
wind harbor
tbf, that's more of a meta-specific thing
since there's a lot of light decks around now
uncut badger
Somehow, dragias returned
wind harbor
surely they'll print dark dragon support now that ||Yuhi took bluetooth||
surely they'll make Redboot.dek good...
uncut badger
That Red-Boot looks greener
The effects is grass + add 1 red boot from gy to hand if your opponent controls a level 7 or higher mon
uncut badger
Rush has had it too good for too long
Its time to banish a light and a dark
fr tho chaos emperor dragon would kinda suck in rush
tardy mica
It would

there was also an extra one that was on the fusions, but had no means of fusion summoning

I'm not being literal

It's just Special Summon effects are too common rn to be called a cheat.

Well, it would be nice, but it can't really arrive 1:1.
Though, I certainly would like it!

honestly a version of fusion gate that just says "fusion monsters can be summoned by contact fusion" would be a reasonable approximation

Thinking about it
We havent seen any contact fusion with a multi choice effect, did we?

i remember when it was revealed everyone was like "yo this is crazy" and then it was just alright
a big part of why cydra was good in advanced was because it didn't use up your normal summon
which doesn't matter in rush

Yeah, admittedly it's a ways off from how notoriously powerful it is on the offense.
You can OTK with it, but you gotta get a good bit lucky to pull it off, but it's still very possible

Ehhh, well, let's take a rain check on the duel with spirawr, I may try that again later
I'm looking forward to trying out Hybridrive again though!
Also, didn't know what attack name Hybridrive Screwdriver had, so I had to improvise by calling it "Titanium Carbide Impact"

i'm so glad that chromatographagas is a competitively viable card

well, theyre still basically locals, though best of 3 (instead of best of 1 like most jp local events)
number of participants varies, some are small (~10 people), some are bigger (~50 people), cant really tell which are which from konami's posts, would have to do some digging in other spaces to see people posting about them to find context

Alright so considering this took like 10 minutes to make I feel comfortable sharing these secrets
As pointed out, yeah, I got no clue about a lot of these, Dragon's Burst Fusion especially
It did show a few to-do's, the duel did!
Also, all these level 7's were just giving me the worst luck. And considering I am, well, me, you can bet that's a recipe for disaster when I draw a whole hand of them and nothing else to work with them
...Also, man, I really wish Polymerization was more usable, cause this kind of deck could really use it

@valid cave so what do u think will be hit this banlist

Oh neat thunder giant
dusk sleet
I find it weird how a lot of games can't really decide if Elemental HERO Flame Wingman or Thunder Giant is the one fusion monster to give a lot of focus to
Like, in Duel Links, Flame Wingman has got a summon video associated with it, but in Legacy of the Duelist, it doesn't, and instead it is Thunder Giant
Anyways, all these monsters being unable to be Special Summoned gets me thinking about any potential way to reuse them when they land in the Graveyard
I guess being free picks for stuff that requires shuffling things to the deck as a cost is fine, in case you aren't interested in anything else
tardy mica
Lets avoid anything from Vrains tbh

In theory print both
Then Argent can reveal Flame Wingman to combo into either with a bubbleman in hand
desert cosmos
Issue with bubbleman though is that it's not a Normal monster. So no adding it with Rising Hero/Hero Boy
Kinda wish they turned it into a normal monster for whatever that's worth.
dusk sleet
Given how many fusion monsters are out in full force, I still wonder why we seen no hide or hair of anything that can be treated as a substitute for a fusion material
desert cosmos
I think flat out Fusion substitute is just too strong.
dusk sleet
Mentioned before that stuff like Goddess of the Third Eye, Versago the Destroyer and Beastking of the Swamp are doable 1:1, but there could also be monsters exclusive to Rush Duel that could do the same, albeit possibly with some conditions to meet first
lusty venture
Symph, you literally played BEWD against me. The fusion subs change their name
dusk sleet
Ah, yeah
lusty venture
you also play Gaia
dusk sleet
Yeah, name changing is a thing
dusk sleet
Was more thinking something that generally can be used as 1 material naming a specific fusion material
desert cosmos
Red-Eyes Moon Dragon is not a name change
dusk sleet
But of course, all the other materials must be correct
desert cosmos
Well not on field at least
dusk sleet
Yeah, there's a difference between treating it as, and actually changing the name
desert cosmos
If this card is used as material for a Fusion Summon, its name becomes "Red-Eyes Black Dragon".
dusk sleet
Blue-Eyes Bright Dragon is treated as Blue-Eyes White Dragon while in the hand, but you have to use it's effect to change it's name outright
And it's not Blue-Eyes White Dragon at all in the GY
desert cosmos
Yeh there are a lot of ways to go about it
dusk sleet
Was thinking Beastking of the Swamp would be the least problematic, since it's type and attribute aren't leading itself too much to other plays
lusty venture
Im excited to see how the neos fusions change the hero deck
dusk sleet
Whereas Goddess with the Third Eye is a LIGHT Fairy monster, which would be very, very helpful for Celestial Warrior stuff, as well as Imaginary Actor

I would still see play in anything tho. And we don't know how that works with contact
Speaking of Fusion sub, Hex-Sealed Fusion would make great legend monsters
dusk sleet
Wouldn't work, going off OCG rulings
Like, you can't use Goddess with the Third Eye to Special Summon Chimeratech Fortress Dragon for instance
desert cosmos
Wouldn't work, going off OCG rulings
Issue is that contact in rush is treated as proper Fusion Summon based on anime text.
dusk sleet
Ahh
desert cosmos
You can Summon this card by Contact Fusion (Fusion Summon it by shuffling the above face-up monsters from your field into the owner's Deck as material).
dusk sleet
Oooh
desert cosmos
Makes it much simpler imo
Also the text implies it could still be Summoned by a Fusion spell if you want to.
So it's a win/win
dusk sleet
Yeah!

this seems adaptable
dusk sleet
You can for example, I believe get stuff like Hero of the Sweep, Hero of the Assist, and others, due to it being a warrior monster
Tempest could be cool
It's not a valid target for Rising HERO Argent, but it at least gives Bubbleman something to do
uncut badger
wait
argent is only 5-7
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It's actually really good for how narrow it is
You can use it in tandem with Avian Spell Tactics, to guaranteed you at least get something

they still could, though cards haven't been designed around it so it'd be very hard to use for legacy support

nah, this has the levsl 5 that gains 500 atk vibes...
valid cave
true
lusty venture
It's more that Electrum's level is higher than 7
it's effect refers to banishment so it would need to be reworded already, and yes I was thinking an electrum that is a lower level
its main issue is that it requires 4 monsters, so either you are using polymerization or they have to print a rush equivalent of miracle fusion
dusk sleet
Oh yeah
Admittedly would be a good case for wanting Polymerization.
I'm still holding out for any practical use for that spell card. It being a Legend card really holds it back, since you'd usually want to use anything else, like Graceful Charity or Dark Hole
stuck summit
yes iirc
valid cave
no
it can't
cause you can't attack on the first turn and the effect does nothing unless it attacks
valid cave
sure but thats requirement and not effect!
im pretty sure if it was "req: none, effect: mill a card, also if this card destroys a monster it can attack again" youd be able to activate it turn 1
dusk sleet
Ahhh
Alright, good to know
As a general rule though, what sort of effects cannot be activated on the first turn?
I imagine simple ATK and DEF increases are fine, but anything that you have to go to the battle phase to use cannot work
valid cave
yeah, any effect where the only things it does don't affect a property read by the game & is dependent on battle phase to do anything can't be activated on t1
that includes dragias and anything that gives piercing
if the effect also increases atk, you can activate it t1; straight pierce can be activated t1, pierce can't
dusk sleet
Righto
valid cave
notably that also doesn't just apply to t1, it applies to any situation where you can't attack
if dragias can't attack that turn for one reason or another you can't use its effect
dusk sleet
Righto
...I guess just in case they're plotting on introducing like, I guess effects that make your opponent skip the battle phase

Negate attack's wording gets kinda awkward if that happens

interesting, so it also lets you fuse more things off with praime dwarf in addition to the pop huh?
notably the change means it can't pop unless the opponent has a face-up monster though

dusk sleet
Some people are too mean about Rush Duel
Admittedly in the case of custom duel on DB there probably ought to be some way to check a box to indicate that the duel will be done in a certain game mode (Not just Rush Duel, but Speed Duels too)
Custom Duel already makes adjustments if each player has a rush duel deck, but this way it may successfully show that the hosted game will be done in a rush format
lusty venture
yeah the best I can do is say "this is a rush duel" with the current system
dusk sleet
Also, Mask of Darkness? Crush Card Virus? What?
lusty venture
true
dusk sleet
Something does tell me that if someone else went in this duel with like, a very modern deck they would have said something like “you know there’s a mode for rated duel” or whatever, but I don’t know

That would honestly be a great way to get people to play rush duel
Just cause Ojama Lime is finally a real thing
Would make sense too, considering how Ojama Red cannot really arrive 1:1, and Ojama Blue just can't work as is

I don't think Konami considers ojama lime that much if a meme

Quaking Mirror Force, trap (legend)
[requirement] when an opponent's monster declares an attack
[effect] change all face-up monsters on your opponent's field to face-down defense position

quaking notably changes face-up def monsters face-down, and also is missing the perma-stun effect
while miracle fusion... doesn't do the skyscraper thing thankfully!
dusk sleet
I'm super suprised that Miracle Fusion isn't a LEGEND card
Like, what, Polymerization is, but Miracle Fusion isn't?
tardy mica
Miracle fusion is locked to stuff that can only be fusion summoned
uncut badger
Yea miracle is more "archetypal"
dusk sleet
Yeah, that's a good way to restrict it
All Elemental HERO fusion monsters, for better or worse have that restriction
I still do want more than just Flame Wingman and Thunder Giant, though. Mighty curious if stuff such as Steam Healer, Mariner or Tempest can be expected
desert cosmos
> **Miracle Fusion**, spell
> [requirement] none

Funny how they worded it to not be able to Summon contact fusions
valid cave
er, it can't summon most fusions
desert cosmos
er, it can't summon most fusions
Wut ?
I don't think the text means what you think it means
dusk sleet
They need to be fusion monsters that can only be summoned by fusion summon
Which, means pretty much all Elemental HERO monsters. You can't for example, summon Hero of the Sweep with this
valid cave
lemme put a comma in there
[effect] fusion summon a warrior type monster that can only be summoned by fusion summon, by returning monsters from your field or graveyard to the bottom of their owners' decks as material
it can only summon the monsters that have to be fusion summoned (the hero fusions)
and its effect is to summon them by returning their materials to bottom
desert cosmos
I mean that's how all heroe fusions are like, except the neos ones we have not seen.
valid cave
it might still be able to summon those, since contact fusion is a fusion summon!
depending on how they're phrased
desert cosmos
it might still be able to summon those, since contact fusion is a fusion summon!
Kinda but even irl, the neos Fusions are must first. (Reviveable)
dusk sleet
Ok, so apparently Quaking Mirror Force doesn't prevent your opponent from flipping any monsters that just got destroyed from being flip summoned back up
Still, pretty dangerous and can get around some situations
valid cave
yeah quaking is a big downgrade from the irl version
its unlikely to see any serious play irl, feels like theyre putting it here so they can add it to duel links later
dusk sleet
Side deck card, honestly
valid cave
side deck it where?
dusk sleet
It's not bad there all things considered, but you don't use it unless you're certain Mirror Force can't stop an opponent's usual workaround to destruction
valid cave
any situation it prevents could be avoided by shiny shady instead
dusk sleet
The side deck, of course!
There's only one side deck!
...Oh, you mean, like, using it in general
Considering how you use it during the battle phase, if it does go off, it's too late for your opponent to attempt to fix the situation
I imagine it would be better at home in decks made to capitalize on turtling
valid cave
it plays into a lot more though
dusk sleet
I think Musical Princess does a lot of that
valid cave
loses to any main phase removal compared to a card like shiny shady, while shady answers everything this couldve answered
and it takes up your legend slot!
dusk sleet
Who knows, maybe a deck that makes use of really flipping things face-down
valid cave
yeah that's the only case it's really worth considering - if you care about the opponent's stuff being set, somehow
dusk sleet
Yeah, Shiny Shady does this, but you can only have 3 of them in a deck
valid cave
yeah, but you can only have 1 legend card, and its not really worth burning your legend slot on redundancy when you could spend it on a more unique power card that cant be replicated
similarly if your deck has an in-theme mirror force effect, you probably play cylinder and dont include the original mirror in main or side
dusk sleet
What I'm confused about is this:
Why Quaking Mirror Force, in a Structure Deck on Elemental HERO?
valid cave
well... is there a more fitting typal legend they couldve released instead?
otherwise, it's just a generic legend, and intentionally a weak legend in the cheap structure so that you spend more $$$ on getting a better one!
dusk sleet
Gimme a sec, p sure Jaden has some very cool trap card he used
valid cave
(and i also suspect it's a duel links plant, this is a very convenient place to plant a legend fur duel links)
dusk sleet
Well, there's [Draining Shield]
tender orioleBOT
Well, there's [Draining Shield]
dusk sleet
Pretty much the inverse of Magic Cylinder
valid cave
oh true that couldve worked
and would also be a nice duel links plant!
dusk sleet
Aside that, there's (using stuff that could go 1:1 in Rush Duel):
Final Fusion
Staunch Defender
A Hero Emerges
And if we're going off of cards that actually are in Rush Duel, Negate Attack
uncut badger
Gimme a sec, p sure Jaden has *some* very cool trap card he used
He had solemn judgment lol
dusk sleet
Yep, though, can't exactly port in counter traps
Well, some of them, at least, it made sense for Negate Attack
valid cave
Aside that, there's (using stuff that could go 1:1 in Rush Duel):
Final Fusion
...
none of these would be legends though!
dusk sleet
Final Fusion is devastating, but realistically only goes off under specific situations, Staunch Defender is pretty much like Call of the Earthbound, and A Hero Emerges is just RNG stuff
Then again, Jaden also, just straight up had Mirror Force too
valid cave
realistically, hero emerges isn't rng - you probably resolve it with only 1 card in hand (neos) to guarantee it
uncut badger
Jaden had a weirdly high amount of staples
valid cave
but, then it's like, a worse version of dragon encounter??
uncut badger
PoG, sollemn, mirror force, honest
dusk sleet
Yeah, it's surprising
This is the quality you'd expect from Obelisk Blue, not Slifer Red students
uncut badger
Tbf he only got red because he did the exam late
dusk sleet
It's a neat card, but there's no prescedent for tokens just yet in rush duel!
But, if there was, then it would be cool
Also, Dandylion's got more meaning than just being a good card; it's one he designed himself, if memory serves. And then it became a real card.
