It'd be cool if they do, and they find out that the LDS has actually been training more Lancers to protect Standard, as Reiji said they would. So Obelisk Force appears ,and they're stopped by a powered-up, Pendulum-using Masumi, Yaiba, Mieru, and whoever else isn't a card.

You have no idea how much I would love this because GEM-KNIGHT PENDULUMS WOULD BE AWESOME.

In other news I think I may retire from the game until either Cyber Dragon Infinity or Planetellarknight Whatever gets banned.

Because hey, guess what, it's no fun fighting a Harpie deck and suddenly having to face down Infinity out of nowhere. :argh:

Just saw the first Yuya / Reiji match, what the hell happened with Reiji's Pendulum's? Like did that have a logical reason for happening or did it just happen so Yuya wouldn't eat a serious loss so early?

Logical in the YuGiOh world, sure. There weren't any Pendulum cards in the game until Yuya magically created them, so Reiji made his own but they weren't 100% stable. It's kind of a big deal when he perfects them and then everybody can Pendulum Summon.

He does say it: His cards aren't as 'good' or functional as Yuya's.
Here is where the shonen technology/technique/hissatsu ougi stuff comes in.

It is kind of neat, actually. When his Philosopher pendulums destablize, you see their scale numbers change and their pendulum effects appear on the cards, themselves. When he initially played them, they had no pendulum effects.

I just marathoned through the second half of Arc-V, it really is loving awesome.

The fact Yuya isn't invincible and in fact gets his rear end kicked regularly is a fantastic change of pace for the series, Reiji is a manipulative bastard very reminicent of Godwin.

The whole thing with the dimensions is a great storyline that offers plenty of potential, is a good thing that they've manage to made every relevant character interesting. Otherwise it would be easy to get burned out of so many characters. Speaking of characters, I love how everyone who has shown on the series eventually plays an important role (except for the quiz kid, gently caress that guy). Yuya's mom suddenly becoming a badass gang leader was the best. Sucks that Mieru isn't part of the lancers though.

Lots of callbacks here and there that make the series a treat for all of us who grew watching the older series.

The series still has its weak points, the battle royal against the final three Obelisk force members got stupid after the third interruption and is really distracting how everyone keeps confusing Yuya/Yuto/Yugo/Yuri and Serena/Yuzu/Rin/Ruri despite not looking similar at all.

Uhg. Seriously, gently caress that kid. Worst part of the show.

I do like the idea of Masumi, Yaiba, and Mieru cranking out their Lancer quals off screen and have them be the home base defense line during the inevitable second Fusion invasion.

Also, here's the current Trap Monster deck list - heavily revised in order to include synchros. Please ask questions and post feedback for the deck to increase its speed. Thank you.


MONSTERS (5):

3x Yuki Usagi
2x Effect Veiler

SPELLS (12):

3x Magic Planter
3x Mystical Space Typhoon
3x Upstart Goblin
2x Pot of Duality
1x Raigeki

TRAPS (23)

3x Earthen Spider Statue
3x Metal Reflect Slime
3x Abyssal Stungray
3x Tiki Curse
3x Imperial Custom
3x Zoma the Spirit
2x Tiki Soul
1x Bottomless Trap Hole
1x Solemn Warning
1x Compulsory Evacuation Device


EXTRA DECK:

1x Hot Red Dragon Archfiend
1x Crimson Blader
1x Clear Wing Synchro Dragon
1x Black Rose Dragon
1x Moonlight Rose Dragon
1x Leo, the Keeper of Sacred Trees
1x Goyo Guardian
1x Armades, Keeper of Illusions
1x Number 101: Silent Honor ARK
1x Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Superior Dora
1x Castel, The Skyblaster Musketeer
1x Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon
1x Evilswarm Exciton Knight
1x Constellar Pleaides


A huge change with this build is the abundance of synchro monsters added to the extra deck, as well as the removal of Swamp Mirrorers and Quantum Cats for excessive draw power.

It was a toss up, whoever got to their setup first got the win. An considering Team Tribs had near identical decks (iirc) they could set up and stall like no other team playing.

It could still be worth running as a one-off. Getting things like Goyo and Crimson Blader are easy wins conditions.

I'll try it. The reason for my reluctance is that it takes two turns to summon the non-tuner trap monsters. If I could instantly normal summon then e-tele for a synchro, I wouldn't hesitate.

There's a 10 episode or so filler arc between the first duel with Reiji and the start of the tournament arc. Otherwise, not really.
