Yeah, it doesn't count as a "card on the field" once it becomes an Xyz material. I'm pretty sure it's the same reason Pendulums go to the grave instead of the extra deck when used as Xyz material.

I will admit, I got really mad when I learned that tokens couldn't be used as XYZ Materials, that's my gripe. gently caress you Shadow Lich.

Xyz material USED to count as 'on the field', back when Xyz first hit the game. You can thank Tour Guide and Sangan for getting that rule changed.

I'm still unsure of why Sangan couldn't get pegged back to 1 after that ruling. :negative:

Sangan was at 1 after that ruling. They killed him off completely because he was still just too strong of a searcher when combined with Tour Guide.

I'd rather have Witch of the Black Forest back instead, anyway.

By the way, Crush Card Virus is getting reprinted on the newest Golden Series. What are the odds it comes off from the Banlist in April?

The game is too drat graveyard oriented in modern YGO for Crush Card to be too useful. It's a side deck card at best, and even then it's still subpar.

Probably not. The best decks in the game right now are all elemental, and CED's errata turns it into more of an annoyance then anything else.

wheres the jester, I could do with some pointless nonsense right about now

I just tested out my new shiny Frightfur Deck against a Masked Hero deck whose owner was not afraid to drop A Hero Lives in order to get Dark Mist and consequently Dark Law on the scene. Since Graveyard play is pretty important for this archetype, I kinda got my rear end kicked.

Just use Mask Change II and Form Change. Much easier. No such luck with Great Tornado, though. Shining is a much better use of Fusion anyway.

I tried running Reborn Tengu in HEROs, with a fair bit of success. You can use it to summon Divine Wind and then get another one to use to make Great Tornado or another Divine WInd.

Reborn Tengu is seriously amazing. I'm so glad it's back at 3.

So is it just me, or are most high rank XYZ's kinda... worthless? Like, if I can get 3 level 7s or 8s, or even two, onto the field to XYZ them, it feels like it'd generally be a better idea to just... leave them there. Especially with how good of effects normal cards can have now.

Well, some of them are really good. Big Eye, Felgrand, and Heliopolis work in lots of decks, especially with Rank-Up cards. I was able to make a gimmick deck using Heart-Earth Dragon that I had a lot of fun playing, too.

Why the different ban lists anyway. It seems like that would kill a lot of the potential for international play.

If I remember correctly, they are officially two separate games. The TCG and the OCG technically have different card pools, so it may necessitate some additional alterations. Of course, this was a decade ago I last knew anything about this. It may have changed since then.

I've got some respect for Great Tornado after fighting a friend's Egyptian god deck which utilized Hardened Armed Dragon as tribute fodder. He was pissed/impressed I got over two Obelisks that had the dragon's protection.

everythingWasBees posted:

Kind of.

The OCG can only use Japanese cards in their deck. The TCG can use any other language, more or less.

So a TCG deck can have English, German, and French cards in it, but the moment you stick in a Japanese card, you're crossing a line. It's really kind of silly.

EDIT: Here's the official TCG ruling on it.

quote:

Q: Can I use OCG cards in my Deck?

No. Cards printed for Asian markets are not legal for play in TCG tournaments.

Q: Can I use foreign language cards in my Deck?

You can use foreign-language copies of legal-for-play cards printed for the TCG market, as long as you can show an official translation of the card, kept outside of your Deck and Deck box, when asked to do so by an opponent or tournament official.

Playing heroes owns. I've been using something similar to an ocg deck list sans stratos and it's been kind of overwhelming with how many possible plays you can make. I make dozens of mistakes every turn but sometimes it doesn't even matter since I'm pulling so many xyzs and nodens out of my butt.
