This episode was really good and had great character moments: Yuya desperately trying to keep his team together, Gongenzaka being far too honorable for what he has to deal with, Kurosaki still a presumptuos piece of poo poo (I prefer his Raid Raptors when drawn in a more traditional style rather than CGI), Dennis who is basically a GoT character, just wonderful.

Which Raid Raptor card are you referring to when you say that it's horribly overpowered?

Devil Eagle.

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

Really? It is good, don't get me wrong, but aren't most Raid Raptors capable of unspeakably punishing the opponent for daring to Special Summon monsters? Maybe I am undervaluing it but it doesn't seem much worse than Rise Falcon.

On the other hand, that card requires 3 monsters... I don't know.

Well, if it goes with the anime effect, it's a point and inflict damage.
You can also target your opponent's monster.

Imagine it's Gagaga Cowboy, but much better.

Well, all Raid Raptors have required Winged Beasts for their Xyx Material up until now, meaning that it will not be quite as ubiquitous.

Well yeah It's a RR exclusive Gagaga Cowboy, but a much better nonetheless.
Also you can actually Rank-up into force strix and keep the RR train going, which is always good.

If it calls for Winged Beasts that means it can run in Blackwing. And since a lot of the blackwing bosses are great beatsticks...
Yeah you get my drift.

It is much better than Rise Falcon. The ability to burn first on your turn and then immediately after when your opponent start his turn too would result in some wicked come-back plays if the card sees release.

It was. Leo was intended to be a Signer waaay before the end of the series, and there were only intended to be five Signers.

Crow ruined everything. :argh:

The Heart wasn't tacked on. You can see it in the WC2009 DS game. I cannot provide quotes, but I recall Maruyama being somewhat disdainful that he had to design multiple iterations of the full Crimson Dragon mark.

I like the heart, personally, the way Ruka's mark holds on to it is nice. I just don't like how lame Lifestream Dragon is. It doesn't even have its level-reducing effect it had in the anime.

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.
So one Gem-Knight Combo I've grown to love.

Brilliant Fusion into Lady Diamond, Dump Normal, Lazuli and Other (Another Lazuli if you have another normal in Grave)
Summon Normal, Use Lady Diamond's effect to Summon another Lady Diamond. Use that Lady Diamonds effect to tribute the 0 attack Lady Diamond to summon a Master Diamond. Depending on your field state, you can chain this to 3 Lady Diamonds and another Gem Knight. Usually Master Diamond because you've filled the grave.

But yeah, Gem-Knights are loving Bonkers from going to "I have no field" to "I have 2 3k+ monsters on field" And that's just a 1 card combo, Brilliant Fusion.

EDIT: Wait drat you can't do that because of Lady Diamonds conditions. drat.

How well is this build working for you? How well is it working without any traps?

Personally, I'm really not fond of running modern Gem-Knights without using Call of the Haunted to really abuse Lady Diamond's effect.

he used some sort of "shuffle hand into deck" card and chained graveyard special summoning card on protector of the sanctuary.

Let me tell you the tale of mighty Slur, destroyer of all that is interesting and protector of all that is tedious!

The only positive thing I can say about Protector of the sanctuary FTK is that it at least isn't Royal Magical Library FTK. Watching your opponent play solitaire for 1 minute to then rage quit or win instantly is much preferable to watching your opponent do the same but in 10 minutes.

I don't know about Protector of the Sanctuary, but I do agree Ptolemaios needs to get banned hard. It gives every deck a super easy way to go into Infinity, which is really, really not fun. There's basically no reason at all to not run Ptolemaios, Nova and Infinity in your Extra Deck at any time, beyond playing Cyber Dragon where you only need two out of three. Not to mention how it can lead into anything else, Nova/Infinity just seems to be the most popular use and it's very easy to see why.

I'd assume that some of them aren't using Infinity because that frees up another Extra Deck slot, since they won't have to run Nova. Extra Deck space is tight as hell for Clownblade, so any chance we can take to make room, we're going to take.

Either that or they just don't HAVE Infinity. :v:

I admittedly took the decklist from a Yugituber I stumbled onto, so I can't claim credit for the build. It's not perfect either, there's already a few changes I want to make to it (clean up that extra deck for one, and drop the Cores for Solemn/Bottomless/Compulse), but I'm having a blast playing it. Once you get the right setup it just blows up and your opponent can't do anything about it.

EDIT: Never mind. I'm keeping the Cores. I'm a dumbass that forgot they were level 9. Instant material for Tarotray's Ritual.
