Made a cool deck for this tag team tournament if that's happening. What banlist would we be using for it?

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

I haven't been able to even start building my deck due to university and getting accustomed to my current timeslots that are bizarre as hell, but I should start tomorrow hopefully. I've never built a deck around a single summon type, it should be fun! Even moreso with Fusion where I need certain Spells.

...Fusion Gate is still good, right?

Fluffals are a real easy fusion deck to make...but I'm not sure if their win con isn't particularly strong or it's just me being terrible. :eng99:

Fusions? Needing spells? Pfffft.

They're an OTK deck. You have to go in as hard and fast as you can.

I try not to go first while I'm playing Fluffals. I tend to win more when I can go second with them and murder my opponent on turn one.

Yeah, I've been practicing with a Fluffal deck someone made against an ai, and it's really fun. Tiger and Wolf seem like the only useful fusions, though.

Eh, why not?
I've been using the same deck ever since I was in middle school. I'm almost done with college now so maybe, just MAYBE it might be time to buy some new cards.

My current deck is a gambling deck. It still wins an annoying amount of times no matter how broken the metagame gets due to the fact dice jar never gets old. Have there been any good gambling cards out in the last...uh, 5 to 6 years?

Sheep has the Armades effect, so it's good if your opponent has tons of backrow. Leo is good for finishing off your opponent without risking battle traps or something like Honest.

Bear and Mad Chimera are definitely garbage though.

Contact fusion is done by two monsters who are on the field, Gladiator Beasts and Neospacians make use of Contact Fusion.

They get to go on team Fusion. Your team is determined by the contents of your extra deck. (Or what goes into it, in Pendulums case)

Team Fusion must only have fusion monsters, Team Synchro must only have Synchro monsters etc.

Who cares about that poo poo when Yoko gets a duel and she's apparently the "Legendary Grandmaster". I hope her deck is cool.

Also, I think it's probably just going to be a Yugo dueling in ep 54 because it's going to be a riding duel I think.

I have nothing built, little knowledge of the gigantic amount of cards in the game, have never played a deck based around a single Extra Deck type, and I have to go to sleep soon anyways because I have class early tomorrow. I don't think that'll be possible, but thanks anyways.

Most things I know about what I'm building is that anime HEROes are poo poo, manga HEROes are great, and Masked HEROes are basically the best thing ever.

so... this is a thing

quote:

Ignoring Shin "No females Dueling in this Work" Yoshida probably recasting personalities, one of the more bizarre points in 5D's is the sheer disappearance of cult like elements from 5D's right around the time Demak vs Rua and Ruka entered.

It appears it was probably tied back to the ultimate firing of Li-Mei Chiang due to her connections to the ロマゾフィー協会 cult (The Roma-Sophie Society), which was basically a hyper sexist cult that basically brainwashed a lot of women (and had them as in home slaves and for their lighter crimes, forced women to wear Mini-Skirts for the proper spiritual energy).

It appears that the actual arrests and investigations might of been on going from around the mid-way of the first season of 5D's was in production. And likely Chiang's cult connections were likely known on some level by the 5D's production staff, so.

They likely probably wanted to avoid any connections with Chiang's crazy ho ha if/when it came down. Probably also PTA/Concerned parent complaints about children's show subject matter. (5D's was a kid's show, was on a kid's time slot, and sells cards to elementary school children as part of its market audience).

Basically having an ancient star cult sekritly running the world, Demak being from apparently an Earthbound God death cult, and the Arcadia Movement being one of the most blatant cult/new age religion things probably to be in a children's work:
Huge no no. Especially when a major supporting actress is in a drug-addled sex/slavery cult.

The best and only use I can see for this is that it comboes sorta with Fusion for an otk and helps you dump red-eyes from your hand easily.

Alllmoost but not quite.
Say you get a clear field on turn 2, 6 cards in hand the best case scenario is that you get polymerization, two red eyes-dragons, one summoned skull, a claw of hermos and a send-from-deck-to-grave card like dragon shrine, foolish burial, card of red jewel OR a normal summonable monster with more than 400 ATK, either of which are actually the most important card of the lot.

You are 400 LP short if you end up with only the first five of the above.
(3200+1000+500+500+2400 = 7600)
(BDA+Red-eyes sword+BDA effect)

It does complement the dragon summoner dude though since he tends to clog your hand with red-eyes if he gets dumped early. It also incentevices you to run more dump cards. I could see how it might kinda work in a Darkness Dragon gimmick build as well.

What this card really needs is for future fusion to get limited. :getin:
