idk, magnet has better... it's not even card advantage since it's a level 6
and the (mandatory) level increase is actively anti-synergy with them since their non-named materials must be 4 or lower

Yeaaa Magma Dragon

Remind me, what Wyrm we already have in Rush?
valid cave
Remind me, what Wyrm we already have in Rush?
the new clad dragons (the obvious thing magma dragon wants to work with!), the older constructor/destructor series, and then custodian is a notable single
we also have a star protector series announced in the future and that's going to be based on a wyrm type monster so theyll probably also work with magma dragon

Oh the clad dragons are wyrms? Didn't notice it until now
And I don't know how can I forgot asana/asaka deck is wyrm, lol

I thought I recognized that spacesuit somewhere... and then it hit me that it's the same one Dentacle the Parasitic Extraterrestrial had.
Well, that's ominous.
Oh yeah, and they finally revealed what Rising Hero Argent F is.

But it exists, and the effect from what someone told me is pretty good

I think this is just to prevent cheating
Like, if you decided to set a Monster in the Spell/Trap Zone, and then use this card to return it so they wouldn't be any the wiser on if it's really a spell/trap or not

that's when you whip out the hot off the press to peek at the bottom and get the opponent dqed for cheating

ah alright I'll host @agile badger

Dunno why messages are very mixed up

Nice duel!
Tour Guide might be really good in Mad Fiends too.
You can use it to Speciall Summon Dead core, since it's a level 3 monster.

seems pretty good
agile badger
Definitely a great pick, given that Galactica Fusion Space is in the same set
lusty venture
very splashable contact fusion

so the rush version of familiar possessed is just a completely different card from the ocg one?
[familiar possessed wynn]
tender orioleBOT
[familiar possessed wynn]
WIND • 
Level: 4
[ Spellcaster / Effect ]
ATK 1850 / DEF 1500

So basically it's like a "Neos Wiseman retrained into Neos Kluger" situation
Only difference is that Wiseman really should have been a Fusion in the first place
zenith crane
it's not like great moth was the same

they buffed her to apply to all winds instead of just herself
otherwise they just cleaned up the jank and i don't think that's unreasonable
valid cave

agile badger
...Ok wow these are cards, alright
Seeing a new Worker Warrior is just, surprising.
What's with the weird LP cost?
tardy mica
that worker warrior card is just weird in general
especially since it needs the fusion to go infinite
agile badger
...Ok wow, this actually could keep activating.
tardy mica
as long as you have LP yeah
agile badger
The only limit is how much LP you are willing to spend
Is there a Spell Economics, but for Monsters?
tender orioleBOT
[brain research lab]
Field Spell
agile badger
Oh, this thing!
tardy mica
the worker warrior stuff also already pays a LOT of LP for it's "core" cards
agile badger
But yeah, no chance at just ignoring LP costs.
...But given these are shady robot businessmen, it's not entirely out of the question to have something later that would do that.
tardy mica
the whole theme seems to kinda be held back by the fact it's boss monsters are 4+ years old
and so are most of it's other cards too
and idk enough about the rush card pool to know if there's ways to make up that difference
agile badger
The Chairman in question is a fusion monster, as well, so you still need to go through some hoops just to pull it off.
...But it being here may be hinting at something else coming soon.
tardy mica
yeah
the issue with middle manager is that it specifies ORIGINAL name
so you will no matter what HAVE to run said fusion
agile badger
I actually do like how it does.
It means you need to put some effort into making this work.
But since Sinister Chairman gets more ATK for each machine monster in your GY, that can be a lot
tardy mica
it also just means the name change shenanigans will be on the cards that interact with chairman
kinda like the news cards
tardy mica
I’m not sure if I’d want to use my legend slot on this
valid cave
yea
if youre hard wyrm locked (by buildragoon) then youve got nothing better to run
but if youre not running a buildragoon deck this isnt very good
lavish skiff
Funny to see it being a Legend (which I'm aware is solely due to being a reviver with that stats), since I barely ever heard about that thing in ocg/tcg format
agile badger
I think it's mostly just, nobody used generic wyrms
About the one consideration was possibly Night Dracolich. The only case for newer wyrms was with the Yang Zing.

that makes sense for how to add unions to rush
but wtf is "union fusion"
ahh
anyways it's nice seeing the 2 material XYZ fusions
valid cave
but wtf is "union fusion"
xyz has reminder text!
tardy mica
yeah i saw that right after sending that
worn edge
Nice XYZ Dragon Cannon
tardy mica
the 2 material fusions counting for their components when summoning XYZ is a nice addition to make them playable
agile badger
Well, the XYZ stuff is very minimalistic this time, but this does give us a look at what to expect with Union monsters
And they planned around the way these are fusion summoned too if Union Search is any indication
I never considered Pliage to be a theme, but here we are I guess. And a new Normal Monster!
I think this is the level 5 normal monster with the highest ATK, discounting of course, Cyber-Tech Alligator
lusty venture
woah, XYZ time
OH HI UTOPIA
@agile badger want me to add the xyz cards so we can do a match with them?
agile badger
They made dumb mascot suits for Caligo Claw Crow and Stinging Swordsman too

these arent too bad actually, im down
kiryu probably just becomes perpetually the equipped monster can attack directly, no need to tribute itself
dark blade knight...
...why is this card just a downgrade? even if you turned it into a union fusion.
eh, it's a fine niche option, probably becomes union fusion + main phase effect to place up to 3 monsters on botdeck
then you get to pick whether to have piercing or gy hate and thats decent

Alright, enough of this
I'm actually unsure of the ruling on if an equipped union monster really quallifies as an equip spell, but if it does this would be cool

I'm actually unsure of the ruling on if an equipped union monster really quallif...
the card text says they equip as equip spells so i'd assume yes
agile badger
Yeah, Gradius is super cool for LIGHT Machine strategies
lusty venture
well, I know what proxy to replace with Utopia
agile badger
Oh right, they do only account for FIRE monsters with the field spell
lusty venture
utopia 3 cards added
lusty venture
Oh right, they do only account for FIRE monsters with the field spell
Nah I mean cuz old proxies get replaced with new ones (DB already has the charmer stuff)
agile badger
Ahh
valid cave
Dangit, how do I do this?
the eye doesnt do rush
(thats why we like bastion instead)
valid cave
the card text says they equip as equip spells so i'd assume yes
while it is an equip spell, the question is whether revenge max checks the card type on the field or in the graveyard
since (even in japanese) it mentions "the destroyed card" rather than "the chosen card" i expect it to check in graveyard though
unfortunately
unless we get a reprint in this set that's errataed to say "the chosen card" :3
lusty venture
@agile badger down for another?
agile badger
Oh, sure I can try another!
lusty venture
nice dueling
agile badger
Baseball stuff's pretty cool!
I kinda forgot how massive the ATK stats can get on those
lusty venture
and we're getting more of them later, this reveal was only a partial reveal
agile badger
And with the field spell you can pretty much load the bases and swing for the fences
(I hope I'm using Baseball jargon the right way)
lusty venture
Maybe even a gagaga girl to go with magician
agile badger
Yeah!

I was actually thinking some other kind of big Xyz monster for another cleanup hitter
Like Heroic Champion - Excalibur
lusty venture
Or some ZWs
agile badger
...Honestly I dunno much other monsters that'd fit the criteria for some of Yuma's monsters.
Oh, shoot yes
ZW!
And with Unions hitting the scene they'd be perfect for union monsters
lusty venture
Maybe BW? (Baseball Weapon)
agile badger
Like, a ZW that's just a catching mitt based on Ultimate Shield
Or a really nice bat based on Lightning Blade
lusty venture
The Japanese version even uses the english letters so the pun should still work

So they are doing Hope Ray V, huh. Thought they'll skip straight to Hope Ray Victory.
Also, cute art on the new field spell. Kurivolt, Caligo Claw Crow, and Stinging Swordsman, all are Yuma's cards

Brassdes of the Diabolic Duds came out April 11th
It didn't become a series until Rising of the Aurora
zenith crane
fine. i cant remember things
that's basically no time
what i mean is that we can be pretty sure it was always meant to be an archetype in this case
lusty venture
Yeah very short time between the two, there are better examples I couldve given
though dead end was a really good example
uncut badger
the actual example is jointech prime rex bc archetypes imply internal cohesion and jointechs are anything but

realized the union search checks bottom 5 
so have to do work arounds to play it, damn
