nooooooooooooooooooooo. Pendulums weren't even the top deck in their own era. They had PePe. Meanwhile that same era gave us Djinn-Lock Nekroz and "Fuck the rules, I've got furries". But nobody says "fuck rituals" or "fuck xyz" >__>

Tbh I wouldn't even mind if they banned Electrumite if they got rid of the bullshit Link rule. Pendulums are frail as fuck, there's no reason to bottleneck them. Merging the pendulum zones to the standard s/t zones was perfect. <_<

Seriously, Pendulums don't do anything other decks don't already do. Summon a bunch of monsters on one turn? Bring back monsters you killed already? Walls of text? Bruh that's literally every archetype after like, 2009 >_____>

Pendulums are definitely a lot more fair now since the two major rule changes to them.

Not having free pendulum zones means that you don't effectively have 7 backrow since pendulum monsters often have continuous effects as a spell card.

And with the restriction to special summoning from extra deck to extra monster zone or to open zones link monsters point to means they can't just full summon from their extra deck every turn.

I think if those rules were still in place today, some pendulum decks could become problematic.

Like always, every new summoning mechanic introduced is generally at the weakest at the start so while pendulums weren't a problem when they came out that was likely because the cards available at the time.

This is the first time I see another rainbow Herald other than Ultimateness, Orange, or Arc Light.

Does nobody use Perfection?

Perfection and Ultimatness both have the same effect, Ultimateness just has a better body so it's harder to attack over. Since Dryton is the most common engine and that only cares about tributing monsters whose attack is equal to or more. 1800 vs 2000 atk is not much different when the drytons are 2000 atk.

Now if you were using a different ritual engine that uses stars, then perfection is far easier to get out.

If anything, it feels like hitting Conquistador will just push Eldlich decks towards running even more floodgates, which seems somehow counterproductive. But I guess a non-targeting destruction effect can be dangerous, so meh. Benten being Limited might hurt Harold, but I'm not holding my breath.

Also, I'm pretty sure every card they hit that went to Limited/Semi-Limited was N or R, while the one card to be set back to 3 was an UR... which is hilarious in its own right.

Eva is the main problem with herald. Benten being limited hurts the consistency in getting it out slightly, but eva is 2 negates in hand.

>semi-limit DD Dynamite when the FTK deck only needs two to go off

lmfao

tbf, it does prevent Trap Trick from fetching one since you now banish 1 of the 2 copies.

It also makes it less reliable to fetch via Lilith

A Lvl 11 Aarakocra Inquisitive Rogue

Currently I'm playing an Aarakocra Rogue, but the next character I'm planning on playing is a Human Warlock/Bard.

I stopped at 5.5K for the special plate for your buddy. More gems would be nice, but honestly I'm burned out of the event and the game in general. So it's been hard to want to play more.

ToadallyAwesome posted...

Dragonmaids are a really fun deck and they can be downright oppressive with the right hand. They benefit a ton from some crazy wording they have or in some cases dont have. Like their fusion spell isnt once per turn.

The fusion spell also returns to the hand even if the targeted dragonmaid doesn't get returned to hand by its effect. So the opponent can't even destroy the creature in response either.

CTrunks posted...

Yeah, you can't just punch yourself in the face a bunch, that would make things way too easy.

So, I finished the final Mission I had for this event (the destroy monsters by battle one), and I have some very simple thoughts.

This event was fucking miserable, and it has actively made me dislike Synchro Summoning. Like, I had been considering making a Blackwings deck as a future project, and now I'm seriously reconsidering it because this was the least fun I've had with an event thus far. It wasn't even the prevalence of True Draco decks rolling around (since I was eventually guilty of that as well), but just how... utterly tedious and miserable it is to go second against a Synchro deck; so many games I played ended on my opponent with 2-3 negates on board at minimum, and when you're trying to bumblefuck your way through the proper combos, it just sucks.

However, I may also just be salty that it took me two days to kill, like, 10 monsters.

Blackwings can build into links and xyzs and not just synchros. You can run with some raidraptors extra deck monsters since both are dark winged beast archetypes.

honestly I don't think pure synchros really work that well. Easier to brick with bad hands since you need to get a both a tuner and non tuner to start and there's many good extenders with link or even xyzs that losing out on those extra deck creatures hurts.

Kim_Seong-a posted...

Finally got back to playing the game a bit. The synchro fest is kinda garbo ngl. >___>

It's because you have people running True Dracos which were actually banned in the XYZ fest and sychro decks tend to end up being a lot of watching special summoning for a field of negates.

The fact a loss is only 50 points, it's often just not worth staying to end of the duel for the measely 50 so it's a lot of scouping.

Tennousu posted...

Wait, you cannot use x-Link monster to summon Borrelsword to cut the amount of link mats needed?

-

I got a couple of wins off the event where the opponent forget to use Shooting Majestic's negate...

And I got bulied by Trickstar player who -just- happened to draw Honest and that one Trickstar giving their monster the same effect as Crystal Wing.

It's a 4 link monster that requires 3+ effect monsters. So you can use a single link-2.

I'm sick of seeing True Draco decks in the synchro exhibit. What's the point of these special exhibits if people are just going to play stuff like this anyways.

I keep misclicking and summoning the wrong link monster instead of IP Masquerena.

I swear every time I destroy a face down Eternal Soul, the Dark Magician Player activates it destroying their own field

I might try to build an infernity deck for the sychro. Will be hard without some of the link extenders.

Also just had this duel: https://youtu.be/WGEPNkT7GYk

FabIe posted...

Any reason for the vanilla harpie instead of Harpie lady 2 or Cyber Harpie? I get unexpected dai but i feel like you could cut those and bump ash and maxx c to 3.

It's just consistency in getting out Simorgh when going 1st. The amount of decks that just surrender against Simorgh + barrier, because they can't out barrier is fairly common.

Honestly I used to run Ash and Maxx at 3, but then they became dead draws in my hand too often if the game went on more than 3 turns.

Here's my current Harpie Deck.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/6/1/AAQF_uAADHKR.jpg

Main Deck is complete right now. Extra deck could use some work. Like I never go into Borrlesword or the Knightmares, but they are decent utility to have since I don't have much better to replace them with.

I crafted a forbidden droplet, got a free pull on the pack with forbidden droplet. It upgraded to UR pack and gave me a 2nd forbidden droplet.

Kim_Seong-a posted...

Maxx C is one of the most powerful cards in the game. You either:

1) resolve it successfully and
-->1A) get 1-3 cards off one effect with no drawbacks
-->1B) force your opponent to end their board prematurely to deny your card advantage, making it easier to break

or

2) force your opponent to use cards like Ash or Called, which would've otherwise been used on your combo starters next turn.

It's absolutely bonkers that this card is allowed in the modern game when the pots make you banish a quarter of your deck just to get 2. Hell, even Upstart Goblin has a drawback and that's just one draw

Fun Fact. Maxx "C" is banned in TCG.

People have been wanting a banlist update for some time now, but seems like we aren't getting that anytime soon.

I got my Baronne de Fleur pull

Tennousu posted...

By 'rogue deck', what do you guys mean by that?
Deck that nobody ever expect? Or rarely seen?

Rogue deck often just means "non-meta deck".

Kim_Seong-a posted...

tbh a hard cap on summons would just gimp rogue/casual decks while the meta would shift to some other degenerate strategy that doesnt rely on summon spam >_>.

Master Duel has the D.D Dynamite FTK which only normal summons 1 monster at most. So yeah, summoning limit wouldn't solve anything.

Master Duel issue is ultimately the ban list. A lot of problem cards are actually banned or limited in the TCG whereas in Master Duel they are not.

Kim_Seong-a posted...

Oh, I mean, I cant get its "activate from the hand" thing to work.

I must have missed something. Next time I draw into it I'll see if I still have the problem. Afaik there was no protection/lingering effects. >_>

You can only play Evenly Matched from the hand if the opponent has 2 or more cards on their field, since the act of playing Evenly Matched counts as having 1 card on the field.

Kim_Seong-a posted...

What am I doing wrong? Two different times now I tried to activate Evenly Matched and it just didnt work >_>

I have no cards on my field, go to battle phase, then go to main phase 2, the prompt never comes up.

Evenly Matched counts as 1 card on the field when it is being played.

ToadallyAwesome posted...

You get a sweet border and the street cred. But it seems like its a lot more cut throat now where gold is the Wild Wild West (Will Smith not included). I played against fluffals/Frightfursthat wouldnt have happened in gold a month ago

I believe you only need to hit plat once to get the border. Otherwise right now plat is infested with FTK D.D. Dynamite bot decks so I'm not seeing a real benefit to being plat.

Key and Peele was funny as hell but almost every sketch overstayed its welcome and just went on and on and on.

This is one of my favorite skits they did and I think it has the perfect duration.

I like how some people get really upset when people would rather get free money instead of sex, because sex is something you can already get for free.

It didn't matter tho. The guy was running Man Eater Bug.

I made a stupid mistake just now in a ranked battle.

I meant to Link Summon I:P to give destruction protection to Simorg, but misclicked and summon Harpie Conductor instead.

The fact people would literally pick something you can get for free over free money is sad.

Tennousu posted...

Is there any N or R Kaiju? Does Lava Golem also belongs to 'kaiju' group or not, seeing it needs 2 monsters on opponent side to be summoned.

a.k.a. suggest some kaiju-like cards for my synchro deck. Gameciel is UR and I'm not sure if I'm willing to part with my UR CP after my foolishness before.

Technically, Lava Golem and Sphere Mode Ra are not Kaijus. Kaiju is a specfic archetype with some support cards.

Ra is part of the God card archetype and I don't believe Lava Golem is a part of any archetype.

However, they effectively do the same role that Kaijus play just with the ability to remove more cards.

Calwings posted...

That combo has been around for 15 years and it's still hilarious when it works, but decks usually have enough backrow removal to deal with it. Plus, both D-Fissure and Cosmos are limited to 1 in the TCG (but they're at 3 in the OCG and Master Duel!) so that also made it less common.

In master duel I really don't encounter a lot of back row removal

Calwings posted...

Another thing to consider: you run Dimensional Fissure in your deck, but you actually can't use Maxx C or Droll & Lock Bird if D-Fissure (or Macro Cosmos) is up because they specifically say "send to the graveyard" for their cost, which you can't do. There are a few hand traps like Ash Blossom and Swift Scarecrow that just say "discard" and don't specify that they need to go to the graveyard, so you can use them while D-Fissure is up, but most hand traps can't be used. So if I were going to make a Yosenju build with D-Fissure and/or Macro Cosmos, I probably wouldn't run any of the hand traps that can't be used while they're active.

There's a funny a meme thing you can do. It's not like impossible to deal with since any backrow removal destroys it. But a lot of decks might only run Harpies Feather Duster and not have any other removal. Which if you have a negate solves the issue.

Gravekeeper's servant + Dimensional Fissure or Macro Cosmos. Both completely prevent your opponent from attacking.

Kim_Seong-a posted...

This is embarrassing to admit but I have a 0% winrate against Numerons.

It feels like every time I face them I have zero answer to their FTK and they open that stupid field spell lmao.

You can Ash the field spell. It's a hard once per a turn effect. Actually NVM, it's a cost effect so it won't work. Though often you ash their field spell searcher and they can't do anything.

The other option is things like Skill Drain since the Numeron XYZ monsters can't OTK without using their effects.

dave_is_slick posted...

Those cards that mention "place place those cards on top of the deck in any order"? Those don't work. The first card I choose is not the first card I draw. The fifth card, thinking it goes bottom to top, still isn't the first card I draw. And I've expiremented, the first card isn't even among the five I choose from.

Are you perhaps activating another effect afterwards that searches your deck causing it be shuffled?

Like let's say you play a card that let's you special summon a monster from your hand or deck, even if you summon the monster from your hand, your deck will still get shuffled because it was searched.

Calwings posted...

Enjoy your free wins from people who immediately surrender when they see a Drytron card and don't have an out to Herald in their starting hand because they immediately assume Herald is coming. I know because I'm one of them.

Tbf, sometimes I just quit not because I couldn't deal with it. But I'd rather not sit for 5 minutes watching them set up their board.

Antifar posted...

See the customization of classes and abilities is something that really hooked me in Three Houses.

I like the customization FE has been bringing to the table in the recent games. But I think 3H was a bit of down step. Like you could make anyone anything which just ended up making certain characters better due to their boons or personal combat arts since at the end of the day there was little reason to not make everyone the best classes.

Fates did a much better job with class customization imo. Characters had personal classes they could switch between and could pick more with supports. Which let to more strategy around supports and made characters more unique since it wasn't just who had the easiest time becoming the best class in the game.

I won the coin toss, chose to go first and got a really sad turn 1 hand. Good thing he didn't kill me turn 2 which allowed me to come back due to Maxx "C" draw. If I hadn't got those draws I basically lost since my next few draws were not monsters.

Twinklestar posted...

also I'm very sure XYZ have level, they're all Level 4, except the Fusions which vary in level :p

XYZs have rank. Which is different than levels. XYZ creatures can bypass things that check for level like Burder of Mighty or Gravity Bind since they do not possess a level.

Tennousu posted...

Man, meanwhile Synchros -can- be used for Xyz or Link materials. This is unfair. /s /rant

So you need to summon Links first, throw them to GY, then utilize Synchros to make full use of Borreload Savage Dragon.
Or banishing Extra deck via effects/spells/traps.

Synchros are harder to get out compared to xyz and links.

Most decks that run links use them to help clear away monsters from their main monster zone in order to trigger effects as part of their combo or summon links that help extend their combo.

Then you end on a link like apollousa.

Tennousu posted...

After watching some videos and stuff I get the idea of building a synchro(n) based deck.

But still, seeing most of the Extra Deck being URs is painful.
Why do Clear Wing and Crystal Wing have the same rarity despite the former being slightly inferior than the latter.

Also, can Link monsters be used as Xyz/Synchro material? They don't have levels.

Link Monsters can only be used for summoning other Link Monsters.

Both XYZ and Link monsters do not have levels and therefore cannot be used for synchro (or ritual) summons.

It was pretty meh tbh. Don't get why people loved it so much.

You know exactly what his point was and it doesn't change just because gen 9 isn't out yet

Then he should correctly state his point instead of saying it incorrectly.

scar the 1 posted...

Dude, his point is that the ninth generation makes the third European regions out of the last four generations. That point doesn't change just because gen 9 didn't release yet

EDIT: On topic I like European representation but it would be cool to see a region based on like west Africa or something.

He said the last 4 games. This wouldn't include gen 9 anyways since it's the upcoming gen.

gamepimp12 posted...

Its trolling because youre splitting hairs for the sake of arguing Lmaoo.

we know the location of Nine generations right, so if I say the last 4 you should count 9 because we know the location.

Now if I said the last 4 generations of Pokmon designs where sub par you would count from 8 since we dont know Gen 9 Pokmon.

If the current gen is 9 then you should be able to play the gen 9 game.

You can't because gen 9 hasn't been released yet.

gamepimp12 posted...

basically

apparently we cant count it as a europe generation cause the m

how many generations is it ?

9 right

Japan x 4
new york
france
Hawaii
England
Spain

3 of the last 4 Gen have been in Europe can we stop the bullshit trolling

Even though we have all the relevant info we need about this specific topic, we cant count this Gen yet

So anything that doesn't agree with you is trolling.

The current gen is still 8 despite how much you want to push that it's gen 9 just because we got an announcement trailer.

gamepimp12 posted...

we have new gen announced and new Pokmon announced. Its fair to count it

Just because something has been announced doesn't mean it's suddenly the next gen.

We know 3 pokemon from the entire region right now. It's hardly gen 9. People won't be battling each other with gen 9 mechanics either.

gamepimp12 posted...

were on gen 9 now right

Gen 9 isn't out yet. It's still currently gen 8.

AceMos posted...

wait why does skill drain work on abyss stungray its effect flat otu saysi ts still a trap not a monster

The text says "This card is ALSO still a Trap Card". This means it is both effected by things that target effect monsters and things that target trap cards.
