Shout outs to the funniest fuckin event thus far

Yeah it's never really over because I do run counters to most boards. I do surrender early if I drew no hand traps against DLink or something like that.

But honestly, most duels aren't really over til both players had their turns. I guess I personally build to be able to do that. If you're going full gas turn 1 centric, it's pretty easy to know when the duel is over

But yeah I'm not even talking about those situations either. Some people will have 5-7 turn duels and then showboat for a long time regardless. Heck, even if you had good exchanges for 2-3 turns, they'll still showboat. It happens every 3 or so duels for me, when I'm trying to just quickly knock off my dailies

I'm not even talking about people setting up 8k. I'm talking people playing for like 2-3 min with multiple negates and 8k+ already on the board against an empty board. I'm fine with people actually finding the OTK line, but it's very obviously not about that.

It's just lack of manners and stupidity. There's not any justification otherwise. Because every quests are designed to be accomplished as you play the duels they require you to play for the full rewards, there's literally 0 reason to do this except to waste the other person's time

Yeah the card is in reference to lightsworns. Hopefully that's not a dead ass Jain though, and a ded Ryko. I feel like Minerva turning basically mommy might indicate a lot of time's passed in the lore, but I don't think it's Jain and Ryko turned skeleton levels of time

Also yeah in game end scenarios where it's obvious the other guy turned responses off, I make it a point to finish the duel ASAP. It really doesn't take much to do your daily quests, and doing a lot of duels is the last quest you finish on every single event anyways. Showboating is completely useless and just a waste of everybody's time but the guy showboating (technically even a waste of their time as well, which makes it even more stupid)

It ruined some very good duels I've had over the years. It's like damn, we had that good of an exchange and you're gonna drag this shit out? It's so bad. I can understand some ppl doing it slowly due to circumstances but the problem with it is that it's done at all

After 10,000 years, Alchemy Stars in their 2.5 year anniversary celebration, finally released the shop lady from Umbraton, Shoel, into the gacha pool. People wanted her from day 1

Considering how many ppl love showboating against an empty field and do it slowly to boot, it's pretty BS that surrendering kills all your accomplishments

Damn, when grief ain't HOPT

Yeah Ib is gonna be a fucking problem, I guarantee you. She's only gotten stronger over time I'm fairly sure... though she does cause you to run a few more bricks in the deck.

Ib is gonna pop off so freaking hard in Runick Synchro builds. You can make Laevatein into Jormungandr now for free. It's just almost freaking free. That's 2-3 powerful interruptions not limited to a card type.

Enterblathnir is also a really good hand rip, which can benefit a Runick grind game.

Oh my god, it's not HOPT. You can summon Ib, search the spell, summon Runick lvl 9, play spell, use Runick lvl 9 + whatever you summoned for Enterblathnir, hand rip, summon Runick lvl 9 again, summon another Enter Blathnir. The funniest thing is that if they can't out your board, you can handrip or banish from board the next turn as well. It's broken actually

Wtf, that's kinda crazy actually. It's a huge buff to Mikankos. I dunno if every deck can so easily search it though.

I just don't think Towers mons are that big of a problem atm anyways

Snatch Steal isn't gonna do shit. Non-targeting aspect is incredibly nice though. It'll probably be run on decks like Change of Heart is, and honestly, CoH is just considered a decent staple atm.

Rest of the list is quite nice. Ib to limit is incredibly scary actually. This is probably the scariest unban in the entire list. Cimo lives in the cave ages. I'm shocked that he's not shocked they didn't hit Chaos Sorcerer or some shit

I made a 60 card PUNK Despia Bystial Synchro pile

It's not very good, and on my test runs, I drew my 1 of Driver like 3 times out of 4. I don't think I need to express the sheer unlikeliness of that.

But like srsly, Ringowurm is really op. The reason I wanted to do this too was cuz I wanted to try out Chaos Witch

https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Chaos_Witch

Damn, now I see eng art is very slightly censored. Anyways, I happened to already have 3 of her, so I just really wanted to see if she can be a core part of a deck. Turns out, not quite... the biggest problem is that she locks you into light/dark synchros...

I have a PUNK pile for the Chaos Ruler + Vamp mill, but as one might expect, the problem is Chaos Witch's restriction, which prevents me from using Vamp to mill for her.

Make one want to... perhaps dismantle her lol

Btw, if you guys haven't noticed, Weiss, one of the new Lightsworns, is actually Snoww, aka the Dark World searcher. I think their lore literally is that they just look creepy and mean but they're not actually bad guys. I think Dark Smog? Or one of those Lightsworn supports intersect the two lores with Snoww guiding Ryko out and also potentially helping him awaken to the power of twilight thus kick starting their disappointing modern support.

I guess they invited Snoww out to chill with them, and she's pretty cracked. Def 1700 in reference to her original attack as Dark World

Also I dunno if you guys have seen probably the greatest Cloudian replay ever made:

First duel. It's so insane

https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/comments/18kb518/lede_ocg_times_at_jump_festa_2024_five_new_cards/

Ancient Gear support. Not looking good for me if it's any good, cuz I happened to dismantle an AG UR recently. Not that it matters, cuz in the future, I'm gonna be playing Ritual Beasts 24/7

I started popping off with SwoSo that I didn't really update up to the standards of the current meta, and I just kept going til DL 14. The gem scaling drops off per duel around here so I'm probably done

Only got up to about DL 12 or so cuz I'm only doing 1 duel daily

Been testing a for fun draft format. Scrounged up a ton of leftover sleeves >.>

Basically, you split generic non-draw centric cards into ~200 monster 50-100 spell ~50 trap, ~50 ED

Draft and game are played in 3 rounds:

R1 Draft:

You don't have to show your opponent your drafts.

You take turns taking 2 pairs of 2 cards from the Monster pile first, choose one pair and add to your deck, opponent does the same. You repeat til you have 20 monsters and put them in one pile

You take turns doing the same for Spell then Trap but take 10 spells and 6 traps.

Then you take 2 pairs of 3 cards from the ED pile and take one pair

You should have 20 Mon, 10 S, 6 T, 3 ED, and you keep them separate

R1 Duel:

Choose who goes first by any means. 4k LP each. Each player draws 3 Monsters, 1 Spell, 1 Trap. Turn 1 player can choose to draw 1 card from one of the 3 piles. Turn 2 and on, the turn player draws 2 cards total in any way they wish (e.g. 2 monsters or 1 mon 1 spell etc)

R2 Draft:

Winner takes 2 pairs of 2 monsters and adds one pair til they got 10, loser takes 3 pairs of 2 monsters and adds one pair til they got 10. They can make a 20~30 monster pile and dump the remainders back into the pile.

Do the same for spells and traps til both players have 4 more of each, and you must add all of them to the pile.

For ED, do the same til you add 6 to the ED.

R2 Duel:

Loser gets to choose turn order, rest of the rules are the same

R3 Draft:

Do the same as R2 unless it's a 2-0, but add all the cards chosen in draft. Same split, 10 mon, 4 s/t, 6 ED

R3 Duel:

Same as R2.

It's pretty engaging. I have a pile that's predominantly Dark/Earth/Light with Zombies, Dragons, and Warriors. I have Vampires in there that are really strong in draft with the Vampire lvl 4. I have a lot of Blue Eyes and some generic normal/dragon supports thrown in there as well.

Of course I have stuff like Goblindbergh, some Yuma stuff, Tour Guide/Sangan, Summoner Monk, all draft favorites. Monk is op cuz you can guarantee to draw spell in your hand. If you're aiming for it, you can keep choosing to draw monster/spell for your turn

You know what's cool about the TCG side decks for backrow heavy decks? You run Lord of the Heavenly Prison in the side deck. Might sound obvious, but you do this because people aren't really running backrow hate in the main deck. Meaning you can go backrow stack freely game 1, take the losses when somebody runs a fringe one-of harpie's or something. Game 2-3, you slot Lord in and feel safe when you draw it, cuz the opponents are inevitably going to be slotting in backrow destruction. Does nothing against Evenly, but that's about it

I heard Branded/Despia synchro stuff is pretty based. At the very least, it's not the usual Mirrorjade pass nonsense that made the deck die off after a lot of spins and face down banishes came into the meta.

Yeah Im looking for more Shaddoll focused lists, because unfortunately dolls are primarily used as an engine now to summon Winda but thats just now fun imo

You can run more Shaddoll stuff and use the Tearlaments just for the fusion aspect. Most of the other builds are simply gonna be worse than the Tearlament focus or be too slow. The problem is that all the modern decks simply do grind games better AND put up way better first turn boards. Tearlaments basically get you there in terms of first turn power, but they got hit so hard that if they're ever outed, it's pretty bad.

https://www.masterduelmeta.com/top-decks/diamond-i/february-2023/shaddoll/jush/pF2qU

I can see here, a Shaddoll Mathmech. Mathmechs are a deck with some real legs. People will use this fucking deck long after it's gone out of the meta, so it wouldn't be a waste to build something like this. Not sure what the logic is behind the deck, and you'd need to modify it quite a bit if it's truly meant to go second, like with Triple Tactics Talent or Thrust.

Current Shaddolls can go a lot of ways. Tearlaments are probably the best option right now with them. They mill the Shaddolls and can also fuse with them to summon stuff like Winda. Shaddolls are usually a smaller engine in this deck, but you can use more of them and the in-archetype ways to fuse to go Shaddoll centric. People usually don't do it because the Tearla and the generic fusions are a bit stronger

I'm gonna check it out. As to if I'll play long term is suspect mostly due to me finding the gameplay inadequate compared to YGO.

People love saying it's a coin flip to win in YGO, but at the highest level, it's like the coin flip matters, but even then, the deck building and crucial decision/response making is far larger in YGO than most of the other TCGs I've ever played. If you're good enough, you can win more than you lose, and that can't happen if it's a win rate based on a 50% coin flip. It's because YGO was already made with user responses in mind. Comparatively any games like Pokemon or Hearthstone or Shadowverse that's made with automated "break my board" situations in mind, it's inherently far less interactive or fun compared to YGO.

But imo it's not a bad card game to try and to be a little bit competent at. It's fun once you understand how to win, but then after it requiring like 200-300 duels to reach the actual ranking and then realizing there are even worse duelists there because they've done that climb ages ago, it's not a great experience.

So while this isn't YGO, thought it might be interesting to mention Shadowverse is getting a sequel. It's an 8 yr old game, and once MD came out, I quit it. That's the Vellsar era going into the hotel ppl or whatever.

It was long overdue for a big update, but the core gameplay is mostly intact, except for 2 of the clans being merged together, which was already introduced as a concept in their physical card game. Shadowcraft and Bloodcraft are being merged. They don't have too much in common except for the ability to do dmg to yourself or your minions. It's weird that 2 of the more complex clans are being mixed, but it makes sense in that they're thematically too similar.

They're doing a super evolution, which adds yet another layer of text to nearly every units. It'll use 2 Evo points but only after turn 6, which worries me a lot. First off, rotation has always aimed to end the game at turn 6~8. It almost never goes beyond that, and some decks that are broken ends before that. So now they're just like putting a hard cap on when you actually start playing the game, and I feel like it's heavily favored to whoever reached turn 6 as their turn.

Their totems now also have active effects. Previously the totems have automatic effects that activate on some condition or destruction, as well as a fanfare effect that happens when they enter the field. So this is a really small change that's undeniably different.

They've also teased some new panels on the bottom left of the UI, which is very unclear as to what role they'll play, as the presentation never directly addressed it. But my speculation is that it's similar to the Extra Deck in YGO or Vanguard.

And unrelated to the card games, for some reason, they just added a bunch of mini games you can play together with friends, including mahjong and soccer lmao. But they have confirmed that doing so will result in obtaining some cards.

Summer 2024 I guess

MBT's unending crusade to convince everybody Zoo is good when it's shit and it's only there in VS because they don't need that space for anything else.

Yeah you make Baronne and Chungus. Without a Lava Golem, people have trouble outing both

Vegeta yes

I'm having not a good way climbing with PUNKash. Theosis is a massive brick without a Kash monster.

Might have to ditch the Kash entirely and just leaving Fenrir, and replace the other Kash with, idk, Bystial stuff I guess.

My list was 2 Fen, 1 Riseheart, 3 Unicorn, 1 Birth, 1 Theosis. In PUNK Kash, you almost always search Birth for the 2 lvl 7 fodders.

Supposedly it was really common early into DC, but it's already been falling off once people realized how inconsistent it is. Ratpier being at 1 is the biggest problem. There's currently no reliable way to do Chakanine's effect to potentially do Draco Future into Drident without putting too much cards into your deck

Also hilariously, Dark Ruler No More + a Zoo into Zeus is objectively worse than DRNM + Evenly Matched due to the significantly less required cards needed to execute the latter.

I'm gonna tell you guys right now, after today, or maybe even halfway through tomorrow, all Zoo cope builds will disappear

I'm gonna go full in. I'm hearing like VS Zoo bullshit. No. It's bad. I actually quite like Zoo, but it's really really bad. Please do not waste URs on Barrage. Don't be me

Yeah there are so many funny Slifer janks. I guess Slifer is the one with the most unique mechanics, technically.

It is with heavy heart that I declare PUNK Zoo to be not all that good. The problem is that it's better to use Instant Contact, which is really hard to make space for in the ED when min 4 of them need to be Zoos. Drident pop is great, and this deck ultimately summons IP + Drident. The problem with it is that Instant Contact Kash heavy PUNK simply does more because they can easily summon Baronne/Chungus/PUNK setup. I kept trying for a potential Draco Future setup or Drident, but it's just not good. The biggest problem is that Invoker is a rank 3.

I tried an IP + Drident setup, but it's too ED hungry

Ok my gacha luck went fucking hogwild in the most important banner in R1999

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/fbfc55a0.jpg
In 30 pulls, 2x Tooth Fairy, 1 An-an, 1 Charlie (one away from the 3rd LB that makes her top tier), 1 Bkronblume, and 1 Blonney, who sucks but I wanted her for collection sake.

I still have pulls left, which is making me feel really tempted. 2nd LB on Tooth Fairy extends her buff/debuff, which is kinda insane, but I feel like from what I heard, I should be saving my stones for equally important banners. I know Tooth Fairy is like a pre-req in a lot of upcoming shit though, and I love her design

Bystials are gonna be really prominent this DC cup sadly. Most likely Bystial Dragon Link will be on top this DC, because their 1st turn combos are extremely consistent due to the release of Ringowurm.

Also Ritual Beasts did end up topping in Japan and nearly won a tournament. Looks like a massive boost in its battle plan's consistency and 2-3 more interruptions put on the monsters was more than enough to put them in the realm of viability. I'm hoping they get their time in the sun for more than a few metas, but it might result in the new Lara being hit on the banlist, which would be a personal affront to me.

Yeah though presumably, there are other stuff that can be targeted, then you can White Woman an untargetable and a targetable... in the perfect world...

https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/comments/18clrm5/vjmp_vjump_reveal_moon_of_the_closed_sky/

Yeah this isn't a huge surprise as everybody expected it seeing the top arrows. Now White Woman joompscare is a Lava Golem. Alternatively, she can still be used to summon other Link-5s, so possibly, she might even make White Woman obsolete

Though her being an activation is not great actually, now that I have one more look at it

That's also assuming you believe he only knew since 2022. He walked back on knowing since '21, but yeah him also claiming he's donating to charity long after he claimed he knew is really scummy

Also it took him a week or two to find a charity to dump their publicly reported money, and it wasn't like an unrestricted donation. So there's no real excuse. If anything, it makes them seem worse that they were easily able to make an unrestricted donation, cuz they basically fucking lied about that too then

Finished all of UTTU and Limbo VI for this cycle of R1999. Honestly, as long as your strategy is solid, you can usually win without too crazy of an investment. It basically took a month of character growth and some gacha luck to beat everything.

Regulus gets better and better as time goes on, even though she's already good before. Just having a pure power single dmg for regular attack and the dodge AOE power ult makes her able to solo DPS despite being a supportive attacker. She's not gonna outdamage a single target DPS against a non-mob boss, but she's not that far bh because you can focus on using her passive on a single target attack. Timing her apple moxie -1 is also a huge defensive move that can cancel the enemy boss ult. I can't imagine her falling off, cuz nothing stops you from running one more DPS.

Melania needs the Insight 3 to really shine. Basically her stacking passive increases her ult dmg gradually. Normally you need 6 ults for max dmg, but with Insight 3, you only need 3 ults. Because a lot of bosses do too much damage to you and have <50% hp conditionals, Melania doing more and more damage makes her a really powerful boss killer

Balloon Party is a 5* and she's really powerful. You'll get a chance to get a free Balloon soon because of a faulty banner info. She puts counters and heal on-hit passives on your party. Great defensively, and a healer is pretty much a pre-req against the hardest bosses

Medicine Pocket does a single target dmg debuff and heals. His defensive buff is stacking and only decreases when the character that has it gets hit. So spam that heal. The stun ult is really op and stops most bosses' big turns, except the ones with the yellow chain looking passive clear the stun.

Leilani is a decent 3* if you don't have other good Red types. She enables Melania, nuff said. Melania getting Moxie is always good.

Another tip is that the Blasphemer of the Night psychube boosts your dmg by a lot if the enemy has 2 [neg status]. Unless you use Sotheby exactly, this psychube kinda sucks. The game does a poor job of explaining that stat debuffs are not [neg status], so your Bkornblume or Baby Blue's double stat debuffs do not give the Blasphemer boost.

They're worse than Kashtira splash in majority of the decks. I'm only considering it cuz I can make rank 3 like nothing with PUNKs and still do other things.

3 Barrage is not that consistent, and 1 Ratpier prevents a more powerful Future Draco line

Aw some of a gun... I forgot Ratpier only procs when normal summoned... Ok this makes them significantly worse by a massive margin

It's kinda funny to see now why people are like Ratpier at 1 is significant vs people who are like Ratpier at 1 does literally the same as 0.

Trying it out, Ratpier at 1 is actually a huge buff. It's easy to think Zoos are just the same power with or without the mill, but it really does turn out that the Ratpier Zoo mill enabling Chakanine is literally the only thing that makes the combo work without drawing 2 Zoos. It allows you to run 2-3 Zoo main deck rather than relying on a janky Thoroughblade discard, which requires a much bigger Zoo package

I don't even think Barrage is all that important. I'll try it out with 1 Barrage at best, but IIRC Barrage just enables an Ape and Drident on board, which is not that threatening, and it still does nothing to assuage their inherent weakness against destruction

Either way, PUNK Zoo Kash will be my playground for the next meta. I don't think it's crazy strong, but it's pretty fun. It's probably what Gold Pride was to TCG's PUNK

Seems Dick Masterson's book is a satire. It's basically showing how ridiculous masculinity is because they value things that will inherently get them killed through foolishness. The joke is that it's a manly thing to think that these things make them better than anybody who believes otherwise.

I dunno much about this guy, but undoubtedly some people are gonna fixate Karl being a misogynist through some gymnastics relation

Either way, there are still some very damning things about the Open Hand foundation not reporting all of their earnings. They still need to be investigated. They're running off with way more money than people think they are

Tennousu posted...

I disrupted their Redoer stuff to bring Scheiren to GY....only for Chaos Ruler to hit the other Scheiren.

Kitkallos + Tear Kash is mill 10, Chaos Ruler + Zombie Vamp is another 9, plus whatever Scheiren mills.

Deck's nuts when it rolls tbh, I can only applaud.

Yeah I mean they have to summon Kit in the first place, which is why the 9 comes first and is the most important. 9/30ish (initial 5 draws and any PUNK search/draw or pulls) isn't that high a probability to mill the 2 you need for Kit.

Tennousu posted...

Umi 'control'?

No, Umi STUN

I dunno why people ever called it control. It's just not, it's always been Umi Stun. There's not that much recursion, and the way they win is via a heavily protected floodgate setup

PUNK Tear was more popular when they had more names and Ishizus to work with. You just use them to summon Chaos Ruler and Vampire rank 8 to mill uhh 9 or something like that. It's pretty good even now but if you miss, your turn is just a bunch of beatsticks

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/c199e641.jpg
Got a pseudo towers, 3 hand traps, a trap negate, 4x bounce, and with Ratpier, you can still have the PUNK field spell (have to destroy with Drident to get a Zoo in gy for effect, which is super lame) leave Drident in the ED and can use Zoo for Zeus package.

I think it's only mildly stronger than Kash Tear but have better match up against random things. Megaclops isn't that great tbh. You can make a case for making this a strictly going second deck.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/d1443eb3.jpg
I got wild with it. There are weird things you can do where you end on this board: Megaclops, Sharakusai, Dragon Drive, PUNK Field, PUNK Trap, draw 2. You trade Whiptail for 1 Ratpier when she comes, and she makes this combo extremely consistent. Barrage is optional thus far but potentially it's just better. It's super weak to destruction sadly

I'm looking for a way to get Draco Future and Drident on board, but for now, you can only really do it on going 2nd using Downerd, but I realize you can just use Zeus.

W...wait... PUNK Zoo?

Yeah lol I was just quoting the video. I didn't look it up or say it to sound smart or whatever the fuck people here said. I distinctly said it was a summary, not a statement of my opinion on the subject. Their accusation does indeed come from the part with the signature

OrdinaryGamers vid extreme short summary: just adding all the public donations they can find, the revenue doesn't match their report. They should be earning significantly more.

So they're accusing Jirard and fam of perjury and withholding information on earnings illegally

Yeah his whole family could probably get indicted for something. Not too sure about jail time personally, just a massive fine and probation if the money is still there.

Then the robot developed AI and went rogue

That's the only route where The Completionist makes it out of this. They reveal Jirard was a puppet figure, but he's gone rogue and stole the funds
