Yeah this might be one of those cards they take a few tweaks to

eh the def is off

Also notably its a reptile that needs aquas

@agile badger up to rush duel?
agile badger
Oh, yeah, just give me a sec
agile badger
Ya!
Plant stuff does look cool
I do wish there were more themes aside from Ninja's
lusty venture
there is the anti-vanilla deck, but its bad
agile badger
Ahh
laughing grass
The reason it's seemingly like this is, if you flip those blades of grass upside-down it looks like "^^", which looks like an emoticon
...So I guess it just exists as some sorta joke.
stuck summit
no, w is short for "warai" which is japanese for laugh
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww looks sort of like a field of grass so people started using the kanji for grass as the japanese equivalent for lmao
lusty venture
valid cave
the ^^ thing is the tcg-side joke, since the wwwww thing doesnt really make sense outside of japan!

Delirium Calabrone, lv7 light insect/effect 2500/1200

Dynamic Dino Dynatyranno, lv3 earth dinosaur/effect 1000/0
[REQUIREMENT] If all monsters in your Graveyard are Dinosaur Type, send 1 card from your field to the Graveyard.
[EFFECT] Destroy 1 Spell/Trap Card on your opponent's field.
Dynamic Dino Dynatops, lv3 earth dinosaur/effect 1000/0
[REQUIREMENT] If all monsters in your Graveyard are Dinosaur Type during the turn you Normal Summoned this card.
[EFFECT] Add 1 EARTH Attribute Dinosaur Type Maximum Monster from your Graveyard to your hand.
agile badger
Oop, they broke the chains
agile badger
Oh, sure!
lusty venture
Well played
agile badger
Righto!
lusty venture
Dynatops definitely makes dynamic stronger
Im not entirely convinced on the new tyranno
agile badger
Super Conductor Tyranno is very cool, given how absurdly high its ATK is, but... that's about it
Makes me thing they may be plotting just a straight-up high ATK gameplan with Two-Headed King Rex, Crawling Dragon #2 and this thing
lusty venture
err tyranno as in Dynamic Dino
agile badger
Oh
Was asking about the Maximum Monster situation cause I had Jest of the Cosmo Princess in the hand, and was wondering if a Maximum Summoned monster is treated as three cards. I knew it was one single monster, but wasn't too sure as far as being cards was concerned
lusty venture
ah
but yeah for all purposes a maximum mode maximum is considered 1 monster
and thus 1 card
agile badger
Righto
lusty venture
But yeah as I was saying, all the other dynamic main decks have their place. Pieces are well pieces of the ace, Dino Dynatops is a +1 that recovers pieces (gadget-ish) and then there is dino tyranno who is just hammer crush on a stick
agile badger
Ehhh yeah. At that point you could just use something like Remove Trap, or whatever that spell card was that lets you use it with both a dinosaur and a field spell
valid cave
being on a monster is miles better than being on a spell
dynatops hard locking you into dinos for the only piece of side recursion we have is really unfortunate
but tyranno being an in-theme justiciar to help you get over losing the real justiciar is very nice
valid cave
although it's still a little bit awkward because backrow removal is more valuable if you're running a more conventional tribute summony gameplan, and dynamix turbo doesn't really need to clear out backrow before summoning the big guy
and if you're not turboing out dynamix, then there's not much good incentive to go mono-dinosaur yet, so you can just run the actual justiciar
good card in theory, and you run it anyway for sure if you're on dynatops because the dinosaur options are real bad rn
but doesnt slot into the gameplan quite as easily as it looks like it should
lusty venture
being on a monster is *miles* better than being on a spell
I mean I guess, but I feel like it could've been better. Though in hindsight maybe hammer crush is a bad comparison, its more of a heatflash but it turns something else into the heatflash.
Plus I am playing more of a turbo dynamix gameplan, but yeah you are right. Hopefully we get some better dino bois soon

Delirium Delaunay, lv2 light insect/effect 800/1200
[REQUIREMENT] If you have another face-up LIGHT Attribute Insect Type monster on your field, change this card from Attack Position to face-up Defense Position.
[EFFECT] Send the top 2 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard. Then, make 1 face-up monster on your opponent's field become Insect Type until the end of their next turn.
lusty venture
Can we get level 5/6
Level 5-6 is unlikely for this deck unless they increase their levels

agile badger
<@1252735289282007132> Want to do a rush duel? (Testing a ritual concept custom ...
Oh! Sorry for the late reply. Was doing stuff, but if you still want to try a duel, I can do so.
agile badger
Sure!
lusty venture
Very nice duel
and yeah like fusion before it, ritual summoning is gonna need dedicated support to making the required spell be found quicker (and back up ways to perform it for dedicated decks)
and ways to reset it if milled
At least if it works how we expect it to
@agile badger https://youtu.be/PGJ8uUonyMI here's the clip of the ritual summon in the anime
He summons 3 monsters, then takes a card (note his hand was 3 monsters, praime call, and another spell) from his hand and performs a ritual summon. So the only possibility is ritual from extra
agile badger
Ahhh I see now
valid cave
and yeah like fusion before it, ritual summoning is gonna need dedicated support...
if ritual uses generic materials then i dont think itll need anywhere near as much support as fusion
fusion needed to arrange 3+ specifically named cards to do anything, ritual summoning with generic materials from field should be very consistent and the ritual spell will only rarely be a dead card in hand
which also means you dont need to build around it to the same extent and can just use it as one of many power plays in your deck
lusty venture
yeah generic materials would help it (I probably shouldnt have made the ritual custom need 3 monsters 😅 though I rarely drew it in me and symph's duel)
valid cave
unless ritual materials are always stuff like "transam linac" + 2 light attribute galaxy type monsters (whose combined levels equal or exceed 11)
lusty venture
The ritual being over level 10 is so cool
sharp gust
How often are characters using other characters decks or cards in Rush. I swear I've seen that happen many times in the clips I've watched
stuck summit
not super often
valid cave
well, it's the usual all-your-powers-combined trope mostly! altho there's a few other cases
luke takes over for yuga to fight yuga, luke gives romin some of his cards at one point
yuhi switches his deck with someone else's 7 times
happens a lot more in go rush than in sevens i think
lusty venture
do we count Gavin having his lackeys play his cards for him
sharp gust
Just from a quick look there's a duel where Yuga uses all his friend's aces. And Yudias also does that against Ziwijo
uncut badger
How often are characters using other characters decks or cards in Rush. I swear ...
4 relevant times in sevens with some with some minor card borrowing here and there, pretty much at least once every arc in go rush
Arguably more times in sevens due to both of yuga's maximum monsters being gifts to him from his friends, but he got to keep them and is the only one that uses them, so its a bit more iffy on if it counts or not
Tecnically every time yuga duels counts since his sevens road magician was also handed to him by otes, so
They really tried to accentuate the trading part of the trading card game title
valid cave
if you really wanna look at it that way then every character is just borrowing their cards from goha
agile badger
Well, it looks cracked, but look at what you gotta do to use it!
And knowing what you need, I got no doubt that 3 fusion summons were done using this
valid cave
worst case scenario is that you never meet the condition, it's a dead card and you brick!
especially because it can only use materials from hand, which is terrible, particularly when the name changers for the materials work only on field and these decks usually try to get materials in grave asap (which you need to do anyway to meet the 7 casters condition)
and getting materials to hand is much harder than to field or grave
tardy mica
really need to just "borrow" a cyberspyce list sometime
valid cave
and also you need to have 7 dark casters with different names, which means dedicating your whole deck to this (note: your materials, and every card that could help set this up, are not dark casters)
card is extremely funny and id love to see someone resolve it irl but its also objectively terrible
agile badger
It's one thing that trips me up a lot with Sevens Road Magician
Half of it is dedicated to using most every attribute to jack up the stats of cards you have, and the other half is solely dedicated to DARK Spellcasters
So making a deck is one big decision on if you are going to dedicate yourself to one or the other.
From what I seen, both are perfectly valid options, but trying to juggle the both of them in a single deck isn't very viable
uncut badger
Half of it is dedicated to using most every attribute to jack up the stats of ca...
And then there's just playing every staple under the sun and wonder fusion
agile badger
That too!
valid cave
what really annoys me about this card is "9 or higher"
if someone wants to fusion summon gladimagia with this for some reason why stop them?
lusty venture
A fusion for when you only got the fodder, neat
also level 1 fusion interestingly enough
valid cave
also level 1 fusion interestingly enough
odd that shes level 1 when she otherwise has the smol delirium stats!
i think they just wanted to mark off "level 1 fusion" on their checklist.
lusty venture
odd that shes level 1 when she otherwise has the smol delirium stats!
Maybe it's cuz she represents them at a larva stage? And the level 2s are considered older then her
tardy mica
does anyone have a delirium list i can "borrow"

@agile badger down to rush?
agile badger
Oh yeah, I can do a duel!
agile badger
K!
lusty venture
I figured since legend supports legend, it be the perfect place for hydra viper.
the mage power was my last second addition, it was originally graceful charity
agile badger
It feels a little bit too sinister considering the theme, but it works!
lusty venture
Legend saber clears out 2 out of their 3 monsters, then hydra viper rushes down the last 1 and twice to the face
also @agile badger had this as a back up equip for hydra viper
lusty venture
bumps it to 3800, add in the triple attack and thats nasty
agile badger
...Ok wow yeah that is just absurd
lusty venture
Legend priestess? it's priest, but uh they arent legends on the field
besides triple snoot of course :3
agile badger
...This really sets in the realization that some Legend monsters like Vorse Raider, Mystical Elf and Gemini Elf just are getting way more archaic as time goes by
lusty venture
(and kotetsu which I also teched, though not legend by effect he also can wield the helmet)
agile badger
Which is unfortunate cause I feel like Mystical Elf does have a niche in having a higher DEF value than a lot of monsters, yet you'd rather use Elemental HERO Clayman if you really need to defend stuff
On the bright side that does mean we'll see less restrictions on what's allowed as far as cards go. Definitely awaiting stuff like Battle Ox, Warrior Dai Grepher or Hunter Dragon
lusty venture
Full battle ox theme when 🙏

ATK: 1300 / DEF: 1500```I figured the best way to capture what Battle Ox would be about is just raw attack values. Just like Kaiba would have wanted.
valid cave
mill 4 o.o
i know its deck restricted and all but i hope this isnt the direction rush design is gonna be going down when basically every good deck besides berry can be described as "mill pile"
agile badger
Ah, yeah, I just figured it'd be more high-risk than most other cards.
The restriction does keep it from being an absurd graveyard packer, so I tried keeping it a little restricted
But, yeah, that is a trend I hope isn't gonna be too commonplace
Feels like the most we should get from huge mill stuff is just Release Wrath
And I just realized Release Wrath would be cracked with Hydra Viper
valid cave
~~And I just realized Release Wrath would be cracked with Hydra Viper~~
realistically, no
if you mill 5 and make it 2800 then its excellent
but if its a more average case and its like 2400 then its a lot more whatever
cause you'll still be relying on other cards to clear relevant thresholds, and if you're using hydra viper to attack directly on top of an established board then +1800 isnt that big a deal and you're already in a very winning position
and of course release wrath is just not a very good card most of the time
itd still be funny tho
lusty venture
yeah the helmet is a better choice if you wanna go for a big boost for viper specifically

Now I wonder if we can get wingman fusions of the other classic heroes
master rule has flame wingman and wild wingman
ah thats how they get around the rush links translation
lusty venture
what dark heroes could we get?
Destiny Heroes
The vast majority of dark heroes are destiny, vision, or evil
the dark e heroes are stuff like necroshade and dark mist (dark panther doesnt count cuz its a beast)
simple cedar
I wouldn't mind Steam Healer and a Shining evolution to boot.
Actually, thinking about it, what would other Shining HEROes look like in Rush?
agile badger
Given how incredibly well-used each of the original five elemental HERO monsters tend to be, little shocked that [Fifth Hope] wasn't made yet
tender orioleBOT
Given how incredibly well-used each of the original five elemental HERO monsters...
agile badger
...Then again, I imagine they have plenty of draw potency already with Elemental Circulation, but what harm would recycling on top of it do?
agile badger
So from what I understand, the method of Ritual Summon seems to exactly be like how it was originally presented way back in the original anime series
Just, you need a specific monster as the main requirement, plus one or two other monsters to be sacrificed alongside it.
e;g, Gaia the Fierce Knight for Black Luster Soldier, Dark Magician for Magician of Black Chaos, Dark-Eyes Illusionist for Relinquished
lusty venture
So less specific fusion?
agile badger
Likely, if what I'm hearing it right!
stuck summit
do we have confirmation that it summons from the extra deck?
valid cave
do we have confirmation that it summons from the extra deck?
i dont believe it was explicitly written or stated anywhere (the ritual spell just says "ritual summon transam diskarma linac" without specifying location to ritual summon from, like fusion)
but we saw the hand both times it was ritual summoned and diskarma wasnt in it
so basically yeah
lusty venture
Because where else would it come from, can't be from the main deck

Hmm, sure! Give me a few seconds and I'll get right with you

Good duel!
lusty venture
well played
agile badger
Chaos stuff looks very cool!
Really is a kind of heartwarming when Yudias and Zuwijo's monsters can form a cohesive deck
agile badger
There's sooooo much fusion stuff Transam Linac can go for now
Amazing to think that a level 4 monster has this much stuff it can do now
lusty venture
rematch now that I made this adjustment?
agile badger
Ah, sure!
lusty venture
well played 😅
agile badger
Appreciated! It was nice!
I definitely need to keep a calculator on my table though lol
lusty venture
I keep on not drawing the new fusion spell despite being a 3 of, and graceful is avoiding me today. Was a good match
agile badger
It happens! The new cards still look pretty neat though!
I did have the new Elemental HERO fusion in the deck as well, but I kept wondering when I'll ever use it when I have Miracle Fusion anyways
I guess using it means I can have two fusion monsters when I can only fusion summon one, but that's a rare situation
valid cave
is it really rare though?
cause i see it as literally just "any time you want to make burst wingman you get a free dude stapled on"
agile badger
If you use Fusion, it's fantastic, since you can proceed to use Voltaic Wingman to fusion summon more stuff.
But it's just a little more restrictive if you rely on Miracle Fusion for your fusion summoning needs
valid cave
all you need is the 4 materials in grave, that shouldnt be too hard to achieve when these decks are usually dedicated to getting materials in rotation!
(using voltic also notably shuffles your deck after you fuse with miracle, which means you might be able to re-find your materials faster)
agile badger
Ahhh, good point
lusty venture
goldfished the deck a bit, deck really needed eve

uncut badger
Oh
desert cosmos
Ritual Material.... kill me
valid cave
seems so!
will be interesting to see how that goes once its printed, i have no idea how good itll be
you can splash it but the floor is still that you go -4 to get a face-down 1600 def guy
even if the ceiling is you win the game
the fact it specifies using face-up monsters as material greatly limits its power
otherwise i think itd be very strong followup through a shady
but if the materials are face-up it does likely have to be the main attempted game-winner you commit to
valid cave
it is, but its not unique in that either
sevensgias is also an instant gamewinner into no backrow, but one which takes a lot less investment
of course the unique part is still that literally any deck can run it... but most wont be able to run it very well
if you build around it, its probably going to be by trying to minimize the resource cost as much as possible? gadgets might be effective, with a stocked graveyard you could summon diskarma off only 1 monster, and diskarma is a good outlet when gadgets otherwise tend to fill your hand with way more monsters than you can spend
uncut badger
1 thing about it is that it tecnically doesnt require any previous setup
Where as wonder fusion needed both mats in the grave
valid cave
yeah
its risky but it has potential
will be interesting to see how it plays out
altho im personally not a fan of aggressive bosses and otk cards so like, on a personal level im not too enthused to see something like this injected into the format
uncut badger
That is if the irl release doesnt nerf it
I could see the effect only being live if transamu rainac was one of the materials
valid cave
the face-up thing does also mean that even tho shiny shady is your best case, cards like invitation arent helpless against it, you can still deny levels
smth like swimming will be very effective into an attempted diskarma
valid cave
That is if the irl release doesnt nerf it
its possible but
as much as i dislike otk bosses i really hope they print it as-is
i like it when cards are generic and can be played in weird places
agile badger
Would be messed up if cards that would normally change battle positions become a staple in a ritual deck, just to avoid these situations
There's actually not a whole lot of cards to my knowledge that can change your own monsters from face-down defense position to face-up attack position, though.

unless this is a sign we get a new name changer for buster blade (or another for DM)

That would be one way to reinvent the Dark Magician Deck!
Something feels very off about it considering how the best way to play it doesn't even involve Dark Magician, but this weirdo
Might as well share these while I'm about right now. The Beginning of the End feels like it conceivably can be a card.
It's way less understandable that Swords of Revealing Light could. But it was an attempt to try and make it work!
Also, the Legend thing really subtracts from the pitch black background on the card, lol

desert cosmos
Also Dark Magic Ritual having a 43 card deck implies it coming with 3 rituals
Doubt it has 3 rituals if the boss is magician of black chaos
Not to mention how ritual spells seem to be able to only summon 1 monster.
valid cave
if its meant to be a ritual-focused deck itd make sense to have more than 1 ritual monster/ritual spell though
could be lower-power stuff, but it could also make sense for it to get the gaia/red-eyes treatment and have a stronger effect ace but have bonuses for summoning black chaos
seems reasonable that theyd prioritize putting the DM import on the cover
desert cosmos

Then we would have multiple ritual spells which is annoying.
Unless they make the other rituals treated as magician of black chaos in extra ?
After all diskarma ritual does not summon any light galaxy
valid cave
is it that weird to get multiple ritual spells? especially when the ritual comes out of extra deck
we don't really need the generic ritual spell for consistency anymore
you can treat the ritual spells similar to maindeck bosses actually
desert cosmos
is it that weird to get multiple ritual spells? especially when the ritual comes...
You still need tributes. And face-up tributes at that.
Opening 2 ritual spells still succ
valid cave
yeah but thats the same stuff as opening 2 tribute summoned bosses
discards and recursion effects help smooth it out if youre aiming to play a ritual deck
desert cosmos
yeah but thats the same stuff as opening 2 tribute summoned bosses
It's a bit worse.
valid cave
what makes it worse?
id argue its better because you can set spares in the backrow for later
desert cosmos
A tribute summonable monster still monster. It could tribute face-downs and the number of tributes required is always the same.
A level 7 monster will always be better than ritual spell (for now) for example.
valid cave
a level 7 ritual spell can be summoned with 1 high level tribute though, and can be set for later
valid cave
also, they arent necessarily all going to require face-up materials from the field
fusion started with face-up materials on field only but more spells (especially tcg imports) started to drop that
black magic ritual could certainly be done tcg-accurate

They will in their first year.
valid cave
we dont know that, especially when imports are in play
desert cosmos
Fusion took forever to get different requirements
valid cave
imports tend to do weird things
desert cosmos
We will see. I still think rituals are gonna be slow (just like fusion)
If they go all in RN, they would have nothing to add later.
valid cave
well, i think the generic ritual spells are the type of thing theyll start to do later as they scale up the power level
when rituals are in the extra deck i wonder if like, contract with the abyss and such would be legend-worthy...
desert cosmos
Ya know what's the best thing about rush rituals. They are clean. They don't mention their ritual spell either. So replacing ritual spells with new ones will be super easy.
Much less confusing then whatever master duel has
valid cave
yeah the trinket text on md's rituals is so weird
but i have one peeve with rush rituals
they kept the over-tributing rule
its just a kinda strange thing thats not suggested by the ritual card text (rush has it in reminder text for now, but that's inevitably going to be dropped soon enough)
and its especially weird because so much of rush's card design allows you to over-tribute for no effect
cards like manifestation that let you send a second card to do nothing for example
so itd be with precedent for ritual spells to just let you dump your field for no reason and itd be a lot more intuitive too
desert cosmos
yeah the trinket text on md's rituals is so weird
This one is the most confusing of them all. That lime basically has no function in game. And konami refuses to make reverse pre-prep. Yet this mofo lists 2 ritual spells for no reason.
desert cosmos
its just a kinda strange thing thats not suggested by the ritual card text (rush...
I think that was just the side effect of not wanting diskarma to be summoned using 4 level 7+ monsters.
Basically for balance
I assume all rush original rituals do something based on the number of materials used.
Just makes sense to encourage using multiples/runing low level.
valid cave
diskarma still uses only the field as ritual material, so youre still capped at 3
but usually using high-levels as ritual material would be an inherently worse situation for you
itd still be much easier to modify the resulting ritual's effect to correct the balance concern though instead of permanently burning an unintuitive relic into the game rules
desert cosmos
Well konami is sticking to that double gimmick of if you have a level 8 in hand, you must use that one instead of 2 level 7s to ritual summon a level 8
The same mechanic that doomed megalith lol
valid cave
actually no, that's not how the over-tributing rules work
youre allowed to use the 2 lv7s, you dont have to use the fewest number of levels/monsters
see, this is why the over-tributing rules are bad
its just that a set of materials is invalid if you could remove any of those materials and still meet the ritual summon requirements
if you have 2 7s and an lv8, and you need 8 levels to ritual summon, you can use both lv7s or the lv8, but if you use the lv8 then you cant use any other monsters
desert cosmos
I might be confusing it with the stuff that saying "including".
With the level 4 megaliths being unable to use themselves + a level 8 to summon a level 8
@valid cave i stil don't understand why the megaliths are ruled that way
valid cave
yea
worse than that i can absolutely see rush duel encountering the exact same problem
we have praime dwarf and such that fusion summon using themselves
its not at all unreasonable to see a ritual summon counterpart and then theyll have the megalith problem
lusty venture
Doubt it has 3 rituals if the boss is magician of black chaos
But if the deck is ritual focused, it would make sense to add additional rituals that can be summoned out
and maybe a monster that can discard a ritual spell to add a monster back
desert cosmos
If rituals are extra deck i wonder if we gonna get "this card's name becomes "x" in extra deck"
It wouldn't be that weird for rush tbf
lusty venture
I can see it
Maybe "This card is treated as Dark Magician while in the Extra Deck and GY"
agile badger
Well, RIP Synchro monsters.
Turns out the old Ritual mechanic finally outdid you
uncut badger
Contact rituals would literally just be synchros if you think about it
Not being able to exceed levels aside
uncut badger
Rip rush junk warrior tho, i'll miss the possibility of ever playing with you
lusty venture
Notably this text would allow two things at once
- If Konami wants to make it 1 ritual for the DM deck (with recursion and filter) they can have it ritual summon Dark Magician
- DMG would still be able to count the rituals for her boost
though I am only expecting half (DM in GY)
uncut badger
Hmm
lusty venture
Even if they make DMOC vanilla otherwise, it should have that GY name change just for DMG (as a throwback to Master Rule DMG)
desert cosmos

Not quite. Synchro would be basicly the ritual equivalent to Contact Fusion.

It's less costly than Shiny Shady!
agile badger
Alright, so here's a riddle here; I'm having to make a deck using only 1 copy of a card for every space in the deck, extra deck and side deck.
I had this as an idea at first, using some kind of Metarion/Galaxy sort of mash-up with some creative choices to make-do with the lack of more than 1 copy of each card (Hence why Polymerization is in this deck), but I'm still not too sure this even works.
Really, the one flaw here is that so many things here rely on Imaginary Actor. There's several ways to get around that, but at the end of the day this'll need one specific monster to really put things together.
Also, there's a few questionable choices, and I'll definitely need to gear up the side deck to take on any other such decks. Maid's Michief is one card I was gonna throw in, since I got no doubt there will be decks that are just "throw out every level 7 thing under the sun" and I'll need something to punish that plan with.
(Actually, it's already in there, but I won't say no to other kinds of cards)
Other idea was to just throw out the Metarion stuff and go for a Praime deck. Fusion Summoning Transamu Praime Full Armor Nova is practially a game-ender, but again, that needs 3 cards, which I may not even be able to get.
uncut badger
I think the best option here would be to fully commit to the galaxy stuff

Oh hi Highlander deck
agile badger

valid cave
gotta be equipped to play on edo, its where the tourney takes place!
agile badger
Well after that atrocious showing from me there's no sense in not sharing the deck
It's terrible, but it's here
valid cave
fusion's got a lot of power if you can resolve it in this format
since the cards that stop it will be a lot less consistent to find
agile badger
Well, that's the thing; I gotta resolve it first
agile badger
...And between a lot of trap cards and that I have to draw what I need first... it's incredibly rare

i think metarion has potential, you have a ton of redundancy there
uncut badger
hear me out
agile badger
Oh yeah, that's the other concept
uncut badger
Level 7.dek
agile badger
Ehhh

good idea to avoid things that need specific cards that you dont have redundancy for

Ach, sorry about bailing in the middle of the duel
Had to do something right quick
In any case, I got to get back to work on making this highlander deck. Dark Matter can work but I just don't trust my luck to hold out enough to make the most use of it.
I am liking this trend of making Elemental HERO fusion combinations that never existed before. Fusing Avian with Sparkman was nice, and I'm looking forward to other combinations, like say, Avian with Clayman, or Burstinatrix with Sparkman.

agile badger
Yeah!
valid cave
gg!
im iffy on my side deck but i mostly feel satisfied with it
could maybe consider dropping a boss for consistency though
since this deck has less consistency pieces than my main ancient gear deck does
agile badger
Here's a deck recipe for what I'm doing. Still tentative but the last few highlander duels has give me new insights.
Ancient Gear looks super potent too, but I can see where the problem with too many high-level monsters can come in
A few things I might do is replacing the field spell and Remove Trap, and put in something else... or just keep it gone for 40 cards
valid cave
calling dark meteor is basically just better than remove trap
agile badger
Oh yeah, that thing!
Yeah, that's a shoe-in, especially since it shuffles used cards back in
valid cave
also, 7 traps and youre still not on the #1 most used trap in rush? wheres invitation at!
valid cave
scat thief is in there! but it sees little to no play anymore
invitation to a delirious dream is the one i mean
agile badger
Oh, right
Definitely feels like trap cards are more important, since you need all the time you can buy in order to get plans sorted out
agile badger
Ahhh yeah.
valid cave
the 1 justiciar often goes away without resolving, lot less recursion available
so thats why im on 10 traps myself
agile badger
I guess spell/trap removal could be side-deck stuff, but that's not gonna be the small stuff; if anything it's just cards like Heavy Storm and Giant Trunade if you need big removal
agile badger
I do wonder if a "Trap Hell" deck can be done
Kinda like the idea behind Odion's deck in the original anime series
P sure the most there is in such an idea is one that has a bunch of pigeons
valid cave
yep! but its much more problematic to do high trap counts in rush duel
mostly because of zone limitations
agile badger
Ahh yeah
valid cave
you can only set 3 traps at a time, and you can't proactively free up space like you can in tcg because all traps need to be activated at a specific timing
agile badger
Guess if such an idea is to come to fruition, traps that can be activated more freely are important, so more room can be made later
valid cave
theres not very many direct payoffs to high trap counts either, mostly having lots of traps is its own reward
pigeon burn is rather outdated as a boss monster im afraid (and of course, always has the issue that you cant really tribute summon the dude if your hand is all traps)
agile badger
I guess next idea I can move onto is just straight-up beatdown, not caring about specific cards, but just a bunch of high ATK stuff.
Guess Dinosaurs would be the best choice
There's not a whole lot of lower level monsters that have what it takes to stand up to a Two-Headed King Rex
valid cave
i like running 10 traps but thats pushing it roughly to the limit of how much interaction you can play without bricking
its still monsters that do the job of winning the game for you
agile badger
Yep!
Might end up tossing out Voidvelgr Pale Rider; kinda misjudged how used it is
I probably got it mixed up with Voidvelgr Requiem
valid cave
palerider is just a 1600 dude who can be shuffled off monochrome
same theory as twin rex like you said but with a little more synergy with your deck
agile badger
Yeah, it doesn't do much, but it can fight!
valid cave
he seems ok, but itd probably be better to run something light attribute for guardian of order
agile badger
Sure thing
Guess Elemental HERO Sparkman's fine!
Lemme know if you want to do more testing!
valid cave
i wish rush had more trap payoffs
we just dont really have many
we have endless spell hell, weve had multiple such decks, give us the trap cards equivalent!
i promise you, the trap version will be much more interesting to play against.
we could get, like, boogie trap as a stone excavation equivalent
or maybe trap of darkness or even transaction rollback! (first effect only.)

[trap gatherer] is rather complicated but would be a really exciting traps payoff

I love this card's artwork
It's just a stick with a bunch of bear traps stuck to it. And it looks mega painful
Who needs swords?
valid cave
we have yet to get any equip spells like this printed irl, but a number of them have been in the anime! albeit with less text
valid cave

none of those would even work anymore
or maybe they would work and itd instantly destroy itself when you touch it
oh! thats why it has 2 effects that get rid of itself!
agile badger
I mean, they still look like they've been armed!
I sure wouldn't want to get smacked with it!

On the topic of trap cards; I feel like in spite of how often Magic Cylinder can just end duels then and there, Torrential Tribute just seems to be the best kind of legend trap card out there
Mostly because unlike the majority of trap cards, you can activate it on your own turn if you want
There's few trap cards that can do that, which loops around to how trap cards that don't get a chance to go off being a hinderance if you can't get rid of them yourself.
Makes me feel like Emergency Provisions could be a card that can actually see use, and not just to be used as a quick way to get rid of a spell card you just don't want

compulse works the same way!
altho using either of them proactively is still relatively rare
valid cave
~~Makes me feel like Emergency Provisions could be a card that can actually see ...
since there's no chaining in rush, you wouldn't be able to do the usual provisions trick of sending a card you've already activated
so itd be a pretty terrible card, big minus for no real payoff - you can work around the backrow clogging issue in much better ways
altho cards like happiness harvest that can incidentally pitch spare backrows can be nice at times
but only if theyre good enough to be played for other reasons!
agile badger
It does feel like there ought to be more Legend Trap cards. Think the last one we got was Quaking Mirror Force; and it was a Structure Deck card, at that!
Oh wait, Treacherous Trap Hole was a thing!
lusty venture
any chance at ritual reveals in it?
lusty venture
oh ok
agile badger
I wonder if I can make a deck that's just, pure beatdown
Just a bunch of monsters with high ATK or effects that give themselves high ATK, and several monsters that special summon themselves (Cyber Dragon, Jinzo the Mechanical Menace)
wind harbor
is this not what Light Galaxy is
uncut badger
scratch that, isnt this describing half of the cardpool?
desert cosmos
Still wonder when they will reveal ritual
uncut badger
Didnt they already?
agile badger
Ehh, fair enough
One thing I kept noticing is that a lot of Summoned Skull-related cards mention Level 7 or higher Fiend-Type Normal Monsters.
And this is like, the only one that exists
lusty venture
@agile badger down to rush?
agile badger
Nice going!
agile badger
Well, turns out there is a downside to using Fish Depth Charge in a panic
lusty venture
Same when you tricked me into thinking fish depth charge wasnt fish depth charge XD
agile badger
lusty venture
In my head I was thinking "Yeah there is no way it is fish depth charge if Don just lets me normal summon with a clear win on board"
agile badger
Mostly kept it set cause I knew all three copies of Ancient Gear Gajiltron Baena was in the GY
So there wasn't any real risk yet... though, as per usual there's always the maximum jumpscare
valid cave
Mostly kept it set cause I knew all three copies of Ancient Gear Gajiltron Baena...

Gadgets
with diskarma thrown in as an alternative boss
oh and just realized, I added the wrong one in the first duel. I dont think it changed much but green adds red not yellow 😅
had a red (maximum) to add and used it as sac fodder anyways
basically this was the board state @valid cave for the turn later in the duel when Don made me think fish depth was not fish depth
DB is so weird with rush replays in terms of lay out.
agile badger
Support Unit - Kumamimi has got me hit with a fear of domestic robots

I'm probably gonna be treading very lightly around every single Roomba I see from now on

Allllright, @valid cave , got another concept for highlander if you're still up for testing decks!

here so you dont have to scroll up (Made sure to turn the @ off as to not disturb qwwqq)
agile badger
Well, that deck's a dud, but it's fine, I knew it wasn't gonna be too worthy
agile badger
Feels like I had better luck with the Metarion stuff
Also on such a subject, what exactly is your secret on how often you get what you need to defend with?
valid cave
quantity! i run a lot of traps!
agile badger
Traps? Ah yeah, I guess that's a good point
I feel like I'm using traps too, but the entirely wrong kind of trap cards
valid cave
in the end there i got mirror+invitation+gear force+destruction of the universe+crisis+magical retribution
good luck chewing through that!
agile badger
Does make me wonder if doing some countermeasures for trap cards can be a good way to play it. Machine Inspector is already great for that, so...
valid cave
the amount of trap removal you can have in highlander is rather limited...
agile badger
Yeah, that it is. Keeping the trap cards from ever going off in the first place, on the other hand...!
...Though that also seems very risky, considering how such effects are rare, and you just don't want to bank on one card to save you the trouble
Argh, Highlander hurts my brain
valid cave
thats why i feel safe running so many traps, youll have a hard time answering them!
and why ancient gear has potential to be so good - because a lot of the good traps available are battle traps, which gears are immune to
agile badger
About the only thing that can push through is a Maximum monster. Which, is just never going to be summoned realistically.
valid cave
id love to see a maximum summoned in highlander! there are some recursion spells that could make it work...
agile badger
I think the best would be Dino Maximum. You can mix and match with the pieces, so all you really need is the centermost pieces
valid cave
thats possible, tho youre missing out on power pieces like super electromagnetic maximum, recurring nightmare, gear start that can add multiple pieces at once
agile badger
But in the end I think the best course of action is just, don't neglect defense. You need something to fall back on if something gets flipped over, and having 0 def is way more hurtful than it looks
And given Ancient Gear Golem and friend's stats, they don't need to worry all that much about that happening
agile badger
Well, guess I'm gonna go on that next journey to find a deck for Highlander. Lemme know if you want to duel again!
lusty venture
oh hi drowning mirror force
stuck summit
drowning seems pretty good
proper jackal
Yeah, it actually works against conventional Maximum Monsters!
agile badger
Decided to do duels against the AI in edo in preparation for this thing I'm doing with Spirare
...Only real issue is, the AI is pretty dumb most times
Also it's using my own deck, which makes things worse; I don't think there's a time in which it picked up on a course of action I didn't catch up on when I dueled before.
It tried to destroy something that expressly stated it was unable to be destroyed by card effects
I don't think I'm gonna learn much from it
uncut badger
Yea i dont think i've ever saw a genuinely good ygo AI
From the long thinking times to obvious misplays
The one i'm working on is also uhhhh, not the best, i'll admit
agile badger
Guess there's no better experience than duels against actual players!
agile badger
The one i'm working on is also uhhhh, not the best, i'll admit
Sounds cool!
rare silo
Are you just using the "Feelin' Lucky" bot (not one of the bots for a specific deck)? That one does almost everything at random.
Or do you have a specific AI?
Choccy, do you mean that you're writing your own AI for edo?
agile badger
Yeah, for a lack of a better AI for whatever this disaster of a highlander deck is, it's Feelin' Lucky
uncut badger
I'm making a fangame
Speaking of
Trying to make maximums good is proving to be extremely difficult
There's already not much to work with, considering that all of them are either already used in sevens/go rush, is a retrain of a DM monster, or is a blaze fiend
agile badger
@valid cave aaa sorry to keep bugging you on this
Alright, so I might've caved and decided to try my own take at the EARTH Machine pile. If you want, I'm available for another duel, if that's alright!
valid cave
<@225458766374502400> ~~aaa sorry to keep bugging you on this~~
Alright, so I m...

valid cave
hosting
agile badger
Well, that's a way for it to end, alright!
valid cave
gg!
agile badger
Ye!
...Alright, but being honest, would you say there is some things I ought to work on?
Cause when I decided to deck Ancient Gear Golem in the face instead of Support Unit Kumamimi, I realize I may not be making the best decisions
valid cave
altho a golem can kill the gadget max anyway!
agile badger
Ahh, yeah. Well, I guess it was a losing prospect no matter what
Feels like the Maximum Monsters just really aren't that great considering how low-power they are.
valid cave
i dont think the landporter max is worth it
agile badger
Ahh yeah
valid cave
its just minus and threatens to brick you sometimes
agile badger
Too much commitment seems like!
valid cave
unless you hit the 1 in 4
agile badger
If you are curious, this is what I've been working with
Key thing is that it works off a lot more maximum related stuff. Definitely throwing out Landporter and putting Ropero in the side deck
I can see why EARTH Machine is super good here though; it's got practically everything, and given how loaded some of the spell/trap zones will get, stepping around that issue is a great thing to have
Had Ultra Violady and Indigo Prison in the side deck, just in case though. Level 7 piles might get hit with a surprise when those two are factored in. Dunno if it's gonna be very helpful here, but maybe in another deck...!
...And I just noticed the absurd requirement on Skyporter Max. 10 monsters to shuffle in the deck before even using that effect?
uncut badger
Essel if you squint
uncut badger
anyone up for a game?
agile badger
Oh, sure, I can try out a game
uncut badger

uncut badger

Ok, ready now!

agile badger
Kay!
lusty venture
😅 sorry about that
uncut badger
its fine lol
agile badger
hi yeah guess who got hit with like 10000 in battle damage
Oh yeah, have a deck recipe on me
One thing I'm anticipating on, is there will be more support for Gaia in the form of Black Luster Soldier, but that's likely going to be a ways off
And given that the first ever ritual monster shown is just incredibly bonkers, it's a tall order when you have the near exact stats but are practically a normal monster.
But I'll trust they got something of an idea!
uncut badger
Here's mine
uncut badger
I was between mirage dragon, him, and the creator
agile badger
Mirage Dragon might be a mite better if you're gonna go all in on Transamu Praime Full Armor Nova
You really don't want to get hit by a Magic Cylinder, rare as it might be
But Zaborg's still great!
uncut badger
Yea
Hoping we get the rest of kuaidul's cards soon
Stock in particular is great for the deck
One question that i also have is
Should i play diskarma?
Doesnt seem that good in this deck, tbh
agile badger
I think decks that can slam out several monsters for it would be more suited than Praime
Whereas with Praime, they have high levels to reach that requirement, but you get the most out of the ritual spell if you use the max limit of 3 monsters for the ritual summon
agile badger
Haven't tested the ritual at all myself, but I know Spirare and Summer used it a whole bunch
uncut badger
Here's mine
Also ngl, pretty tempted to play 3 prime call
Its honestly the best card of the deck
Also can i just say
How annoying it is for your gameplan to put as many monster with different types into the gy as possible
And your 4 best cards are all galaxy type?
agile badger
Well, in my opinion, one of the best cards is a Beast-Warrior!
Praime Cat Straynya is really good, given how it makes your bigger Praime monsters unable to be destroyed by card effects!
stuck summit
does red-eyes still run dead end? if so this is probably good in that
valid cave
could try it with this guy but youll likely struggle to find the deck space
agile badger
Argh, I'm conflicted now on what deck to bring
I got a choice between EARTH Machine stuff and Metarion, but I'm conflicted on which to commit to
Several others are using the EARTH Machine thing which works very well, but I feel like being original with Metarion would work better for me
agile badger
@valid cave Oookay, one last test run for the road until I have to prove myself at the tournament. You still up for one last duel?

i notice your last hand had lumi + nobody scat thief
you might take a piercing hit from innovator, but you can use scat thief to survive a turn and refresh your hand for more gas
agile badger
Well, I could, but knowing my luck, you were already well-prepared for that in advance. It probably was a losing prospect no matter what
valid cave
(or perhaps put lumi in attack, since innovator can most likely pierce over her anyway, to minimize the damage further?)
valid cave

maybe, but that mindset's not a tournament-winning one, you play for every advantage you can get!

Alright, I may have to attempt this one last time, just to make sure I'm not messing much up.
I just gotta make sure at the very least I'm not on the bottom rung!

When you got limited means of fighting back, that can definitely save your hide!
