That's a good way of looking at it
#rush_duels
agile badger
valid cave
it's still an awkward design though - sacky effect, but unlikely to actually resolve. i don't really like cards like that
agile badger
A lot of people tend to set stuff first if they're rushing for a tribute summon anyways, assuming there's no effects prior they want to use
Ehhh, well, true there too
It was about the best I can do on short notice
valid cave
i still think making it summon only 1 will make it more reasonable as a card, not just because it lowers the payout but also because it makes it much harder to prevent
so you don't feel that bad playing into it
valid cave
perhaps your 3-mat boss monster could become "during the turn you fusion summon this: special summon up to 2 ojamas from your graveyard face-up to your opponent's field, they cannot be tributed for a tribute summon until the end of your opponent's next turn while they are face-up"
agile badger
Oh yeah, that'd be a cool way to use Sovereign
valid cave
and then ojama lord would become a mandatory 1-of include in every fusion extra deck ever after
agile badger
It'll mirror Ojama King while still being distinct enough for a Rush Duel format
Good thinking!
valid cave
which speaking of, makes it funny that the optimal 2 monsters to summon off duet (or the theoretical sovereign) would always be green + black because then they wouldnt be valid lord materials!
agile badger
Yeah, one of them's getting left out, unfortunately
I can just imagine one of them complaining when they do get left out of a fusion summon in favor of the other
lusty venture
got a replay?
agile badger
Sure!
agile badger
It's... not very interesting, I have the worst luck and didn't think it through, but here it is
Oh spirare got it
valid cave
huh, is the replay broken? i think something broke in the replay
agile badger
Rush Duel currently can't allow for just including names, so I went with 0 ATK/1000 DEF for the descriptor
valid cave
it ends on me summoning praime dwarf directly on top of fadronir, activating fusion, and then nothing else happens
agile badger
About the most interesting thing happening on my end was walling for a bit with The Creator
valid cave
is it broken fur you 2 too
agile badger
For such a large monster The Creator rarely sees play
lusty venture
huh odd
agile badger
You'd think all that DEF would be helpful somewhere!
valid cave
yeah it seems like duelingbook doesnt handle rush duel replays well
lusty venture
ended here yeah, rip
agile badger
It's really 3 each of the above customs, plus the ports of the Ojamas
And I forgot Ojama Delta Hurricane aaaaa
Unfortunately they're 100 def too large for Animagica Leader to make use of them
If you wanna use them, they're in my customs folder!
Feel free to put em in a customs deck
I imagine if they were to become a real theme, they would need to take a page out of Love or Berry Fresh's book on making low level and low power monsters into a credible threat
...But then again, being weak is kinda their thing, so I imagine the best way, is to make them something not to underestimate. Teamwork is how they get things done!

**Excutie Lumiere Front...
<@&681691144509194284> LUMI
valid cave
okay so
she really is just lumi and lily stapled together
which means she isn't actually all that strong fur the deck - lumi and lily already more or less fill the roles she does
she's still good just because she takes literally no deckbuilding investment, but it's a pretty safe design, they're not pushing cutie this set
still, shuffling lumi and lily back into deck is nice because you like re-drawing them, and you get a 2800 vanilla to revive off scramble afterwards, which'll always be nice, little upgrade to lily
there's some cases where she can beat over things you couldn't, or shuffle a fusion away - flame was your answer to those otherwise, she gives a second answer and one that's a little less painful to use and isn't stopped by battle traps (but is stopped by summon traps!)
oh yeah shes also relevant in the mirror match
agile badger
Y'know it's underwhelming for all that artwork, but honestly, that's pretty alright for it to do a small, yet still notable thing when you contact fuse.
Basically combines the two into doing stuff the two already were doing
Really, the most explosive contact fusion monster out there is still the Dark Matter stuff, and that's mostly cause contact fusing them is actually much harder to do than the rest.
desert cosmos
I don't think it's underwhelming
It's a shuffle for any monster not just 8 or lower
And it got no cost.
- big atk. And no side effects.
valid cave
well, the cost is shuffling lily and lumi
a lot like if you used base lumi, you're still going down one monster on field (except this one exposes you to shiny shady)
lily already is a beater with no side effects if youre playing cutie, it might occasionally be relevant that you aren't attack locked by her in royal rebel though?
agile badger
It's an equal tradeoff, from the looks of it
valid cave
@agile badger you up fur a duel rn?
lusty venture
Btw we all watching the OCG times tonight?
valid cave
oh, theres a thing happening?

Well, that was exciting!
I did a check on if Voltcondor was used in the anime, and it was.
By Yuga. What?
I mean, admittedly it makes some sense, since Voltcondor's got effects based on attributes, which was a big thing with Sevens Road Magician, but I think that whole thing took a bit of a backseat compared to the sheer attacking potential the other, bigger lightning birds had
Basically discount store Raidraptors
valid cave
yep, its one of those one-off cards used by the protag that got expanded into a full deck theme! just like chimera, gaia, etc
i dont really like that modern condor discards the attribute matching gimmick yeah
uncut badger
By Yuga. What?
Yuga had a lot of weird stuff in the anime, yea
agile badger
They really feel more like Raidraptors!
Yeah, there was Sevens Road, one single rock monster that somehow supports Spellcasters, a single Maximum Monster that's a FIRE Warrior monster for whatever reason
valid cave
(hey, he also used a second rock monster that had nothing at all to do with spellcasters!)
agile badger
https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Hyper_Engine_Vast_Vulcan
Seriously, this is not a Warrior, and I refuse to believe it
But it is, so eh!
Oh right, Ice Age Catapult!
Forgot that one
There's a lot of theming on Attributes to the point where I probably could tell it's a card Yuga used if it mentions Attributes while also seemingly being very closed into it's own typing
Like, Steel Mech Lord Mirror Innovator
uncut badger
He also had a weirdly high amount of beast, winged beast and beast warrior monsters
agile badger
Oh right he had like
uncut badger
Savage claw tiger, bendorbreak
agile badger
Uh, I guess the thing that looked like Silver Fang
Unironically would have loved a theme around Silver Fang. It's got very nice artwork
uncut badger
He also had bascule the moving fortress
valid cave
he's got level 7 goodstuff, he's got mono-caster
he's got tri-typal, he's got machine typal, he's got warrior typal
he's got attribute matching, he's got attribute hate, he's got mono-dark support
he's got maximum, he's got fusion
and, of course, he's got sparks! 3 of them!
all in the same deck
agile badger
Jeez, his collection sounds like more of a mess than Yugi's, and that's saying a whole lot.
uncut badger
Funnily enough, unlike other protags, these cards that look like they show up exactly once are actually recurring
Like, those guys show up constantly whenever he's milling or discarding cards
valid cave
which proves that he's not bringing different decks in each duel whenever he debuts a new strategy that directly conflicts with the last one! they're all in the same decklist!
uncut badger
The biggest surprise is that he's also running exactly 40 cards
agile badger
Jeez!
uncut badger
no wonder he keeps bricking
agile badger
And Sparks of all things
uncut badger
3 of them
valid cave
at least in yugi's case a lot of his cards were just vanilla beatsticks; summoned skull and dark magician don't conflict unless you introduce their tcg support to the mix
agile badger
You never know when that 200 effect damage will turn a duel around!
valid cave
yuga though
well, despite everything he's still got room to play spell archer in there!
uncut badger
He mostly streamlines his deck ||in go rush|| tho
agile badger
Amazing how it is
uncut badger
Focusing mainly on 7 roads and his fusions
valid cave
how many types does yuga actually play in total, maindeck, not counting the otes duel?
lemme try and count without checking
- spellcaster
- beast
- beast warrior
- winged beast
- machine
- warrior
- rock
- thunder
- zombie
is that all?
fiend
right
uncut badger
Didnt he have an aqua?
valid cave
Didnt he have an aqua?
hmm
dont think so?
agile badger
Honestly I think the only types not used to my knowledge was like, the fusion types save for Magical Knight, and Sea Serpents?
valid cave
he has a few monsters that look like aquas but theyre casters or rocks
amazingly he had the restraint not to play a single dragon until borrowing dragias!
agile badger
Ahh
valid cave
amazingly he had the restraint not to play a single dragon until borrowing dragi...
(he did have defender, which mentions dragons? but that doesnt count it works perfectly fine in mono caster)
lusty venture
If he was aqua, wouldnt he be Mr. Aquamy?

aaaa puns

ey choccy, summer, either of you up to rush?

Sorry for that
agile badger
It's alright though~
valid cave

agile badger
Nice!
valid cave
thats one case frontier helps!
lusty venture
yup
agile badger
Looked up Aqua stuff
What exactly am I supposed to use Splitter Slime for?
Cause that's a very specific criteria for monsters this thing works with
valid cave
splitter slime's a pretty strong card!
the criteria basically say "revive your legend"
agile badger
Well, yeah, a lot of Legend stuff does fit that bill!
Could be handy with cards like Master Craftsman Kotetsu
valid cave
(although theoretically you could add light or dark effigy if you want more revive targets...?)
agile badger
Ooh yeah
valid cave
not really worth it to set it up with a bad card like that just fur the -1000 though
uncut badger
Can:D all 
valid cave
the cand fusions are funny
agile badger
Golden Flying Fish sounds cool in tandem with Umi, since both types get a field bonus
valid cave
well, it doesn't really help you for your 1000 atk utility monster to go to 1200 atk
agile badger
Omitted the whole Special Summon thing, cause honestly, it's not necessary
Though, I wonder how obnoxious the captain will be given you can summon two of them, and that means your opponent cannot attack.
valid cave
scrap iron would be a neat legend
not that good, since your opponent would know it's there and it'd be the biggest jest target ever, and it's otherwise a lot worse than any other legend trap if it resolves only once
but it'd be neat
agile badger
Yeah, once it does go off, it's gonna be a prime target for removal
I imagine if it were real there also would be something that supports it, like Malevolent Seller or Goblin Holedigger Captain
valid cave
the real support is ryozai
agile badger
Oh, true!
That would be very obnoxious, yeah
Then again, Ryozai being summoned anytime is big trouble, given how universally protective it's effect is
I'm still amazed it's not on the forbidden/limited list
valid cave
we'll need to shoot jest befur we hit her!

Yep!

only 4 in tcg, none in rush until now
it feels like a very natural combination
agile badger
It's not even a combination that gets brought up very often either, like a FIRE Sea Serpent monster or an EARTH Fish
valid cave
i dont bring it up because it doesn't even feel underused to me!
not that uncommon in custom cards either
oh yeah there was also fisher sky in the anime who used a full wind zombie deck
id like to see the proper arts fur these, judging by the full art of schlecht we got earlier these are really faded and color distorted, plus kinda obscured by the heavy foiling effect on this proxy
the full art of schlecht was very bright and pretty!

Oh yeah, they did show the full art. Sure!
I think Copper had a neat custom theme around WIND Zombies

Alright, gonna put out a potential call for starting up a tag duel, just for a bit of a tryout
It's probably going to be very awkward compared to how tag duels in the OCG work, but given there's now 4 people here that do rush dueling I figured now's a good time as any to put out a call for one
agile badger
I got thinking: with all these Dungeon Duel Monsters stuff I was doing, I think I could possibly try my hand at a rush duel campaign
Granted this means figuring out how DDM even works, but I believe it'd be super cool
lusty venture
ooh

It's an untapped genre in that game for sure!
I suppose for the first time, I could try to draft out card contents, potential events and the like, then see how well it'll script in
Was gonna try Swords of Revealing Light at first, but that would be way too long an effect I feel, so I went with the next best thing in protecting things back then here instead.

I also don't think there's any prescedent for just being unaffected by a specific card, but I don't think it'll hurt very much.

The prospect of Legend Priest sounds neat
Though, I really would like it to be distinct from Legend Magician. Legend Saber exists, which sounds cool but realistically only works if you're making a deck around Gilford the Lightning, since it doesn't support any other monster it can support

[EFFECT] 1 face-up Level 7 or higher monster on your opponent's field loses 1000 ATK/DEF until the end of this turn.
stuck summit
goodgoo...
uncut badger
What year of the main yugioh/master duels/not-rush/whatever you wanna call it do yall think current rush is the closest to, in regards to power level?
agile badger
I'd probably say, early 5D's/Late GX
The power scaling has been chugging along, but earlier cards, even those from the very first sets still see plenty use.
Funnily enough, it's the monsters that see the most use, with earlier spells/traps seemingly not having enough fans to justify their use, with few exceptions (Legend Spell/Traps, of course, but also stuff like type-dependant spell/trap removal, Dark Liberation, etc.)
uncut badger
Honestly, i'd argue to be much later
The base mechanics of rush naturally makes decks very grindy, even the aggro ones
Enough for it to be around late zexal / mid arc v era
Your only downside being a lack of constant access to a toolbox in the extra deck, but decks like qli and domain monarchs manage to also do well in that period despite that
agile badger
Yeah, there's some credit there
But really, I think it's kinda hard to pinpoint just where Rush Duel now would lay, since it's a way different game
lusty venture
I dont see goodgoo being ran
stuck summit
yeah i really doubt that berry fresh needs removal so badly that it would run this
lusty venture
berry fresh garden can't boost its stats, dies to swimming, its arguably a worst version of diarga
but for aqua instead
lusty venture
Monarchs do care about 1k def, but this sacs itself
agile badger
Messing with DEF can surprisingly be pretty effective
I noticed that several cards tend to care about the DEF stat as a requirement for some card activations
valid cave
nah this is a great card
youre very happy to have her fur sure
in a pure version of berry, you're desperately missing ways to actually swing over things and will struggle to clear a ryozai or anything bigger, this offers much-needed redundancy and makes your revival spell way more reliable too
in an engine it's just a great effect to have in the toolbox
her def stat doesn't stop any of the synergies that matter, you don't care that she's destroyed by swimming or isn't buffed by garden because you're not using her as a beater anyway - you're always sending her to grave, either for her own effect or for another berry's
everything else works, shes a pitch to pleasure/rich/happiness, shes revivable by generis
shes also definitely a better version of diarga! mostly because she reduces def, and in a ryozai world thats very important
valid cave
hey i found this funny deck on the jp database!

@agile badger i think you should appreciate this... mudballman skysavior!
uncut badger
So, this is a rush duel links question, but since my original idea was to ping the 3 regulars that play both games there, i'll just post it here instead
How do yall feel about skills being able to search from deck, in terms of game identity?
stuck summit
i feel like rush not having searching is a big part of what sets it appart from regular yugioh
especially since searching is way less necessary in rush due to how drawing works
valid cave
i don't care that much
it makes sense as a way to allow strategies to be playable that never were irl, without introducing the busted deck digging support that they were given as enablers in irl rush
my gripes with rush skill design are their needlessly complicated restrictions, similarity & lack of relation to the decks they support, and the restrictions being heavily biased towards some staples being playable almost everywhere and other staples being locked out of every single deck
(a lot of that applies to speed duel skills too, mind...)
uncut badger
my gripes with rush skill design are their needlessly complicated restrictions, ...
Mind giving out some examples of the locked out staples?
Only ones i can think of are like, dragias, yamiruler, and call of the earthbound
valid cave
Mind giving out some examples of the locked out staples?
This Skill can be used if the only monsters with 1400 or more ATK in your Deck are Dragon Type.
the most common skill restriction... others are "level 4 or higher" or some similar atk/level requirement, but they all say you can't play big monsters outside your type, but low level staples are fine
so, most decks can't play:
- any off-type legend monster
- dragias
- yamiruler
- guitarna
- shock dragon
- torna
- swift gaia
- dark sword magician
- boring kong
- carrier+kanan
but most decks can play:
- essel
- torero
- carrier+lamoon
- the beast package
- the zombie package
- thunder gazelle (if your limits allow it)
- boltricorn
- sanctity
- piercing samurai
- goat+majesty (if your limits allow it)
etc.
so the staples you see are repetitive and it's pretty arbitrary that you're allowed to play essel but not shock dragon or whatever else you might want
uncut badger
That's fair
valid cave
What year of the main yugioh/master duels/not-rush/whatever you wanna call it do...
(also i cant answer this because i dont have enough knowledge of master rules, historically)
uncut badger
> This Skill can be used if the only monsters with 1400 or more ATK in your Deck...
Honestly i dont think that decks would change much even if the restrictions were lifted, aside from the obvious culprits like Mr. Attacks Twice
So i dont really mind it that much
But i see where you're coming from
valid cave
well thats just exactly why its frustrating!
swift gaia isnt even a good card but if it couldve maybe had a chance in duel links if not for the incredibly arbitrary limit 3 combined with no skill allowing it
uncut badger
Its seeing play in icezark for what its worth, but yea
It pigeonholes the format by a lot
agile badger
Man, the one time it arrived, it was just not useful, cause normal monster support is just very great, and the OG was still very much handy
uncut badger
On another note
I looked up what blaze fiends are doing currently
Its another deck that uses maxiumum pieces as an advantage engine for a different beater and doesnt actually bother about maximum summoning
Just like every other modern maximum deck 
(except abysskraken, that one is still doing fine)
Maybe the main reason konami doesnt print a lot of them is because the mechanic is just cursed lol
valid cave
problem is, all the other "modern maximum decks" have terribly outdated maximums!
they just aren't printing any actual maximum monsters together with their maximum support
uncut badger
I mean, okeabyss aint terrible
valid cave
so yeah, you play the good cards instead
like, see that wyrm support? excavator does nothing in 2024, at best it's like the most expensive hammer crush ever!
you can print all the excavator enablers you want, it's not making excavator a good boss monster
desperately needs a retrain, like magnum got fullsteam at least
agile badger
For the most part, there's not a whole lot of material to draw on
uncut badger
Yea, i wonder how much you have to push them in order to actually worth putting your eggs into one basket that'll probably be a cosmo princess victim next turn anyway
agile badger
The vast majority of Maximum Monsters are featured in the Anime, with the 3 originals to the game either being a premier theme (Blaze Fiend), or a popular series of cards that just made sense to make into a Maximum Monster (Harpie Lady Sisters)
uncut badger
Yea, i wonder how much you have to push them in order to actually worth putting ...
Specially in a way that wouldnt make them boring
Like, you could make them an otk button, a floodgate, or a straight up towers
agile badger
Actually doing a Maximum Summon is still a very noteworthy event; one of them demands attention, and you definitely need to make fighting back against it in any way you can a top priority if your opponent summons it
uncut badger
None of those are "fun" options
agile badger
The Maximums that are just "beeg something" or just restricts what your opponent can do are a little iffy
I just like the ones where you are in a prime spot to just clock your opponent's monster and possibly the opponent itself with some massive attacks
valid cave
excavator is the OG stall-towers, i'd absolutely support making it so invincible it's boring with a retrain
agile badger
I just love how "all in" this thing is
uncut badger
aka the unplayable variety
agile badger
You throw everything out, but if you're in a prime spot to make that push, you practically are just gonna vaporize any resistance your opponent has
It's really what I wish Cyber Dragon could do
In a sense, a lot of Maximums can fall into the whole "offense, defense, utility" trifecta
It's a good balance
uncut badger
Yknow, i wish there was a way to make individual pieces think that they're in maximum mode
Would boost a lot of the sevens era ones
agile badger
Ehh, yeah!
I do appreciate how some of the later ones don't have to be in maximum mode
uncut badger
Like, imagine yggdrago L being a removal spell in space builds
agile badger
Wyrms, Harpie Lady and Jointech can do alright by just summoning them normally
uncut badger
i'm grasping at straws here lmao
agile badger
It's a concept for sure
Like, how there exists some equip spells that made Gemini monsters in the OCG be treated as having their effects
agile badger
You could make something that, if applied to that monster, has it treated as a Maximum monster, and gains its effects
uncut badger
Is a 6.8k ATK left magnum overlord piece what konami intended?
Probably not
Would it be fun tho?
debatable

heck of an effect actually, thats super free
my question is... how do you get it off the board? how do you get this 400 atk attack position bungus off the field, how many tribute monsters do you need to play to make this work?
i feel like that's already a thing with hero and neos, you have all the free summons in the world and all these amazing low levels and absolutely nothing to do with all that material and you end up with a super clogged field because you have only 3 monster zones and you have nothing to do with your attack position bunguses

desert cosmos

Yeah, HERO definitely needs more level 5 and higher monsters.
Most you got are generic warriors you can throw in most anything like Glacies the Snowmeister of Sacred Splendor (What a mouthful), and stuff that are part of their series, of which there's two of them and each one requires two tributes to tribute summon
It's definitely been mentioned here before but stuff like Elemental HERO Bladedge, or possibly some rush exclusive HERO's that fit such a bill would definitely make this less riskier to play. It's still very great in spite of all that.

It would have to either specify a laundry list of all kinds of HERO monsters, or be much more generic

I really am unsure what effect #2 ought to even be, since if I said Original ATK, then it wouldn't be nearly as faithful to the original, but I imagine it ought to be considering that I'm reasonably sure if it was done as written, it's just be an infinite loop of getting ATK
At least 1 and 3 are, I think, alright
Also, if you're wondering about Etoile Cyber, I just gave it the continuous effect to simply gain 500 ATK if the opponent controls no monsters
For the most part, I was doing this at first to see how different things would be with a lot of OCG ports, but now I'm beginning to learn a bit more about rush duel custom cards as I keep doing this, learning more about rulings, how effects are written and things like that. It's neat!
Maybe one of these days I can get K to do a rush duel custom card contest
uncut badger
It's soooooo frustrating that all of the sevens road members are dark monsters
Like yea it makes sense in the lore
But i sure would like if my magician gained more than 300 atk if i only have them in my gy
valid cave
yeah that was a weird choice
uncut badger
The fact that most of the backgrounds could realistically match with an attribute feels so bad too
Like
Witch - fire
Mage - wind
Warlock - dark (still)
Wiz - earth
Enchanter - light (weakest match, but it had to go somewhere)
Sorcerer - water
Done

Though you also can get some OCG cards there too, so there's that.

I find it rather off how Elemental HERO Pulse Neos and Elemental HERO Heat Neos are only Rare rarity in the Dark Matter of Phantoms set

galaxy cup 2024 decklists and deck breakdowns are up!
elementary division:
- 1st: treasures goodstuff
- 2nd: jinzo
- top 4: harpie, harpie
general division:
- 1st: gaia
- 2nd: jinzo
- top 4: jinzo, celeb rose
highlights:
- the general division winner includes 3 copies of obnoxious celtic guard (in side deck)
- the elementary division winner is running quaking mirror force as the legend trap of choice
- the one celeb rose list is on zero traps (in main deck), not even a legend! which is very unusual even among spellslinger combo decks
agile badger
Ayyyyy Gaia
I didn't think Obnoxious Celtic Guard would be a considered side deck card. That's interesting!
Either that, or they really were going all in with the whole deal of this being a deck Yugi would use.
stuck summit
i guess the celeb rose player was going all in on the jinzo matchup
valid cave
Either that, or they really were going all in with the whole deal of this being ...
nah, this is a competitive event!
i think the theory's that jinzo, the #1 deck, has few to no outs to it
in the finals matchup their opponent would have literally no way to deal with it except jest, which you really don't want to burn a jest pop on a level 4, and that reduces their damage potential by a lot until they do
agile badger
nah, this is a competitive event!

uncut badger
Alright, gonna ask in the context of a draft campaign; what sort of cards would ...
Depends on how its structured
A lot of cards care about types and attributes in your field/gy
So keep that in mind
Removal of any kind is inherently powerful
Combo pieces are only really good if they either do something outside the combo you can reliably see the rest of the combo pieces
uncut badger
One thing i would consider is bundling cards together, like 3 maximum pieces with 1 card pick, or a fusion monster with their named materials along with a fusion spell (usually just the most basic one, "Fusion" in rush's case)

If you botch the coin toss of Time Wizard and destroy your own monsters, it'll actually deal the entire total of your Monster's ATK to you as effect damage
Not half, the whole lot
valid cave
yup, no halving in rush!
agile badger
Someone probably lost a duel this way, I'm certain
...Then again, maybe not, considering that summoning Time Wizard and banking on this effect means you are already in a bad situation.
Learned this trying to remake, what I guess would be some kind of "Joey" structure deck for Rush Duel, but got super conflicted, since I can't decide between Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Time Wizard, Jinzo or Gilford the Lightning as the one Legend card

I don't know why I included that whole "Spell Card" thing, since generally if it's going to be a spell card you want to avoid affecting your monsters, it's gonna be too late for that, especially if it's something like Dark Hole
valid cave
my opponent doesn't have dark hole to wipe my board, but thats ok, ill wipe my board for them!
agile badger
Yeah, it's not a very helpful trap card, but it could be useful if you don't want your opponent doing anything to a monster you want to keep out of the GY
agile badger
If any of you want, you can check into my customs for rush duel. I feel like I ought to show a little restraint in posting them here, since a lot of them aren't really special; just OCG ports. Especially the case with Normal Monsters, since about all they bring to the table is that they might have a specific type, attribute or statline not seen yet
agile badger
...But I have to ask myself a few times.
Who would even use Ryu-Ran in this day and age?
Cause admittedly, in spite of the huge prevalance of normal monsters in Rush Duel, those same Normal Monsters kinda have to have a point in the workings of a deck, and random sorts of normal monsters from the OCG often won't fit such a list
And even in the case of normal monsters, most would just sooner use something like say, the various 2500 ATK normal monsters (Galactaria Oblivion, Elemental HERO Neos, etc.) if they need a bunch of them, or just Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
Does make me wonder if there could be some undiscovered interractions for certain monsters if they existed
About the most I can say is, having a level 5-6 normal insect monster can provide some really neat options in tandem with Pholus the Star Knight. One of their more potent spell cards can straight up steal the opponent's monster, but only if it's an insect, and it doesn't work on something whose level is too high
But if you had something like say Hercules Beetle or Empress Mantis, it could work out
lusty venture
They should make dedicated support cards to the less hype vanillas
Like build around levels of support
Examples below
agile badger
Yeah!

The doggo was one of the better tribute monsters for Noodle Ninjas, even though it definitely has no concept of what being a ninja entails
