I dont lnow how you can miss Sedall since he has the ring, but you can, I guess Maybe you can attack enemies before he gets hit, and keep healing him. Idk

Doesn't the rest of the map just not even open up until you talk to Seadall? Even if you could make it through the level without the terrain changing abilities from Corrin's ring (getting Camilla's ring from the DLC would probably help this a lot) I don't know how you could beat the level without recruiting him first.

There must have been talks about adding a new game plus. I wonder why it never happened. Maybe because no matter what you cant miss any characters?

I know for a fact that you can miss Lindon since he's the only recruitable character in the game that's on the enemy side and recruited by talking to him as an enemy. It was so deep in the game and I was so used to Engage not having recruitable enemies that I just forgot they were a thing and killed him like a normal enemy in my first playthrough. I only found out afterwards that he was recruitable and I felt really bad about it, so I made sure to recruit him in my second playthrough even though I didn't plan on using him.

Plus, theoretically, you could just skip the paralogues where you recruit Anna and Jean. I don't know why you would want to, but you could. I think.

So who wants to make the next topic? I made this one and megamanfreakXD (who I haven't seen post in these topics in over a month) made the previous two, so I figured I would ask first before I just did it myself again.

I wonder how many games I'll have to play with Sky Strikers before the first time my Raye gets banished into an NTR doujin with a Bystial. I'm only in low Gold right now, but I'm sure I'll run into them at some point.

legendarylemur posted...

Crazy that I can go into this one and basically have to only pull 1k gem and just end it lol. Feels a bit anticlimactic

If there were only 2 cards I needed from a pack like that, I would just craft them and not even waste time or gems on pulling from the pack. That's what I'm doing on my main account since I only need Sprind and maybe Garura for that one.

Is it okay to put 3 fusion deployment in any deck?

It's apparently really good in Branded now. Its main use is to summon Cartesia (who's really important to the deck now and needs to be in rotation ASAP) by revealing Granguignol, but in a pinch it can summon Albaz by revealing any of the Albaz fusions, and in my Branded Tearlaments deck it can even summon Reinohart by revealing Kaleido-Heart.

legendarylemur posted...

HUHHHHH?!?!

EXCUSE ME?!?!

Nice! You got the cards you needed and a royal rare Ultimate Slayer fodder too.

Spent 12k on the new selection pack (plus 1.5k on the Cyber Dragon structure deck just for 3 copies of Fusion Deployment) and got basically everything I needed for my Branded and Dogmatika decks, including a glossy Magnamhut, a glossy Garura, a glossy Alba Zoa, and a royal Lubellion. The only UR's I might still need from the pack are more copies of Cartesia and Lubellion (only pulled 1 of each and I'm pretty sure I need 2-3 copies) and I'm out of gems so I can just craft those after I dismantle some UR's.

How many copies of the new cards (including the Bystials) do I need to improve my Branded and Ritual Dogmatika decks? I know which cards, just not the ratios. Gonna pull on this pack on my side account, my main account only needs Sprind so I'll just craft it.

So, are bystials actually good in an non-bystial anti-meta deck? I have no plans to run a traditional deck, but their banish effect seems generic enough to fuck with a ton of deck since almost all the decks I see are light or dark.

There's no such thing as a Bystial deck. They were meant to be generic and anti-meta with their banish effects. Branded and Dragon Link decks can best take advantage of their bodies and other effects besides the banish and are the closest things you'll see to a "Bystial deck", but pretty much any deck that needs to counter Tearlaments and doesn't lock itself out of special summoning them (like Floowandereeze does) can use them.

legendarylemur posted...

They have a slightly more lenient banlist. But the big difference is that they have Maxx C, and Tears can actually play around Maxx C

The OCG banlist also has stricter hits to Sprights (Blue, Jet, and Starter all limited, TCG only has Starter semi'd), Floowandereeze (Map limited and Shifter at 2 in OCG but neither of those apply in TCG), Branded (Fusion and Opening at 1 in OCG while TCG's only hit is Expulsion being banned), and Kashtira's main deck (Fenrir and Unicorn limited while TCG has Unicorn semi-limited and Arise-Heart in the extra deck limited), as well as four Bystials limited that aren't hit at all in the TCG yet. So other decks around Tearlaments as well as their #1 counter all being weaker in the OCG is another big factor of why Tearlaments are still able to stick around even in their now severely weakened state.

That plus other tools like Grass, Chaos Ruler, Curious, Fairy Tail Snow and the recently unbanned Glow-Up Bulb being legal in OCG (while they're all banned in the TCG) and abusable by Tearlaments. It's no wonder why the deck is still alive and fairly viable.

SomeLikeItHoth posted...

Is anyone else still playing any Fire Emblem games?

Aside from some occasional support grinding in Engage, no. I still eventually want to do an all-guys playthrough of Engage (to balance out the all-girls one I already did) and I also feel like playing FE7 again but I know that's coming to NSO soon so I'll wait for that.

Shit escalated very quickly on Dr. Stone this week. I did not see that coming. Thankfully, I had Sacrificial Princess ready to go for a nice palate cleanser.

Well them being limited only really hurts the decks that actually use them actually. The rest of the Bystials all have the same old quick banish to summon condition, which means the rogue decks afraid of them are still screwed just because they exist. You'd basically need to destroy that deck entirely

Bystials aren't a deck of their own. Magnamhut and Druiswarm are splashable handtraps, tons of decks would be running as many copies of those two as they can solely to counter Tearlaments, and any other Light/Dark decks that need the GY would be caught in the crossfire. Magnamhut is basically an interruption that searches another interruption (though Dragon/Branded decks might use it to search a combo piece instead) so limiting it means there are less opportunities where the player essentially gets two Bystials for the price of one. Druiswarm is also two interruptions for the price of one with its second effect, which can be triggered simply by using it as material for a Synchro or Link summon on your turn after you summon it with its first effect. Limiting these two specifically helps curb the free advantage that the Bystials bring non-Dragon/Branded decks and how badly they cripple Light/Dark decks that need the GY.

The other Bystials besides those two are only one interruption outside of very specific decks or circumstances, which makes them still annoying but less powerful than the much more generic Magnamhut and Druiswarm. If decks besides Dragon/Branded decks want to devote precious deck space to these less useful and versatile Bystials (to have more than just the single copies of Magnamhut and Druiswarm) because they're that afraid of Tearlaments, then they'll be a lot less powerful than if they were allowed to max out on Magnamhut and Druiswarm. As a result, there will be at least some players who aren't willing to use the less useful Bystials and will only run the single Magnamhut and Druiswarm, which means Light/Dark decks that need the GY don't get crippled as badly as often.

Bystials are (sadly) a necessary evil right now to deal with Tearlaments, but as a whole they're terrible for the long-term health of the game because of how badly they invalidate so many decks. They, like many of the archetypes Konami released in 2022, were a mistake.

Magnamhut and Druiswarm are gonna be limited. Light/Dark rogue decks aren't completely fucked it looks like

legendarylemur posted...

Ok them coming limited is kinda ridiculous imo. They're toxic of an archetype, sure, but we didn't even get to play around with it lol

That's good news. Those two are the main ones that decks were splashing to use as handtraps because their secondary effects were so generic. Dragon decks (especially D-Link) were abusing Magnamhut's search, and all kinds of different decks were using both of them to destroy the viability of Light/Dark decks because Magnamhut could just search for another Bystial if you weren't using other Dragons besides them.

Decks can still use the other Bystials if they're that desperate to counter Tearlaments, but Saronir and Lubellion really only help Branded decks with their other effects and Baldrake's second effect is situational and only usable either in a Light/Dark deck (that gets hurt by opposing Bystials anyways) so they're not nearly as useful as those first two. From what I can tell, these pre-hits were basically Konami's way of saying "only Branded decks get to use these at full power" because they were originally made as Branded support. Magnamhut and Druiswarm were splashed in other decks at 2-3 copies apiece before being limited to 1 in the OCG, but Branded decks only ran 1 of each anyways and ran more of Saronir and Lubellion instead.

You know how giving UR is like an allergic move by Konami.

That's usually true, but them semi-limiting Spright Blue instead of Spright Jet is the first time I can recall them hitting a UR when they had a perfectly viable and sensible non-UR alternative they could have hit.

Then limit that fourth Ishizu card too. Or ban some of them entirely instead of just limiting them. Or ban Fairy Tail Snow, that stupid furry little bitch that keeps jumping out of a Tearlament player's graveyard like a god damn jack in the box. Even without directly hitting a Tear card that's still in the shop, there was more they could have done and they didn't do it.

>hitting no Tearlament cards at all
>only limiting 3 of the 4 Ishizu cards (and they can just play Diviner to consistently send them to the GY anyways)
>banning Terraforming and hurting several rogue decks (and also Floowandereeze again lmao) with collateral damage instead of just banning Tear's field
>Tear is still great, meaning Bystials will see widespread play when they arrive, destroying even more rogue decks including my beloved Sky Strikers

Yeah, I think I'm done. I had low expectations, but holy fuck Konami.

why can stuff like barronne de fluerer negate stuff like mahaama, but ash blossom cant negate stuff like giant rat?

https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Damage_Step#Cards_and_effects_that_can_be_activated

Fast effects that negate the activation of a card(s), or negate the activation of an effect(s).

Ash Blossom can't be activated during the damage step because it negates the effect of a card, not the activation of a card, which is different.

Have 10k gems saved up and 300 UR mats. Part of my brain says "build Tears!" but the other part says "pendulum support in 10 days!"

Wait until we see what the next banlist does to Tears before deciding.

If they don't significantly hit Ishizu Tearlaments on the next list (at the very least hit the Ishizu cards since they're not in the store anymore) I'm probably not going to play again until they finally do.

That's shocking. It's like the most braindead one path deck

"Branded Fusion, summon Albion/Lubellion, effect, summon Mirrorjade" usually doesn't take that long. Unless it's one of those decks that combines Branded with other stuff. I've had Branded Drytron for a while and recently built a Branded Labrynth Ishizu 60-card trash pile deck that's really stupid but really fun.

It's hilarious that they dropped the new TCG banlist right in the middle of a YCS that a lot of the big YouTubers were playing in, so only Cimo (who's now the "History of Yu-Gi-Oh guy" and barely plays the TCG these days) and Dkayed (who's now the "Master Duel leak guy on Konami's blacklist" and hasn't played the TCG in years) were able to actually do a decent reaction video for it out of all of the ones I follow. The list itself seems pretty meh too. Barely hit Kashtira, hit Purrely and SHS way too soon, borrowed the OCG/MD philosophy of bloating the semi-limited list that I'm not a fan of, etc.

Oh well, I'm only a MD player anyways. The only way this affects me is if it might be a hint at future MD pre-hits like Diablosis for Kashtira.

Really enjoying the voice acting, Chisato especially. They did a great job there

The whole cast was great, but Chisato's voice acting was on a whole other level. Plus, this was one of the only shows where I finished the last episode subbed and then immediately jumped into re-watching it with the English dub (which was also great).

We won't need it that soon with how slow the topic is going, and 20+ posts away is too soon for the "post random shit to get the topic to 500 and move on" rush. When this topic gets to 490, that's when you should start getting ready to post it. I just wanted to give you some advance notice.

Sort of like the weird way Konami tries to justify Pendulum cards getting banished by Macro even though they're supposed to go to the extra deck instead of the graveyard.

I guess so, that makes sense.

I got an answer to the question I thought of in post #287:

https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/comments/13oj88d/comment/jlhhsuw/?context=3

Redirecting a card to be banished (AKA what Shifter, Cosmos, D-Fissure, etc. do) doesn't count as banishing by a card effect, so a "send to the GY" effect like Dingirsu would indeed get around Gymir's protection from being banished even if an effect like Shifter being active would cause it to be banished instead. God, this game really is for lawyers.

I'm determined to make this work in my adamancipator deck. Just wish Baronne de Fleur didnt exist......But could someone tell me this how it's effect interacts with cards like Dimensional shifter

Kim_Seong-a posted...

I know that Imperial Iron Wall overrides banishing floodgates like D Fissure and Macro, so I assume Gymir would fall under a similar ruling.

The only question with this situation would be if an effect says that it sends to the GY (like Dingirsu or Zeus) rather than destroying or banishing. Would it still work because the effect itself doesn't destroy or banish, then the monster would be banished instead of being sent to the GY due to the lingering effect of Shifter? Or would it not work because it would be banished instead, therefore Gymir would protect from it?
