A vase to face encounter.

GARVASE DAY!

Alright, thanks. Why would this "era" end?

Because the anime series the cards are based off will end and the next one could wind up introducing stuff that's significantly less interesting.

During Zexal anything that was not rank 3, 4, 7 and 8 basically did not exist and that was because in the anime fusion and synchro simply did not exist anymore.

I hope the next series doesn't introduce anything new.

I wasn't joking by the way, I really wouldn't be surprised if arc v turned out to be one last huge swansong before it gets wound up for Konami to spend the money on putting the wrong version of PES on steam instead.

While it's obviously meant to be a lovesong to the franchise as a whole, you're kidding yourself if you think Konami's going to quit before the game becomes unprofitable. It just makes sound business sense to continue with it, until the numbers become way too low.

I hope this keeps going strong, I'm just getting back into this and its very fun to collect and figure out combos and play with my coworkers and friends. It is a bit of a money sink though, I did the math and I've spent a thousand dollars since May. My friend has spent $1600.

They used Fusion once or twice in Zexal. Ritual too, though no one has ever really cared about Ritual.

I have exclusive information that there will be a card that lets you treat your entire graveyard as "Skull Servant" for one turn

It also lets you summon the new egyptian god card, the skulled servant of anubis

You do play Zombie World in Shiranui Shaddolls. That way Mezuki can recycle your Shaddoll fusions, and you can then use Spectralsword with your main deck Shaddolls.

There's a surprising amount of synergy in the deck, honestly.

I do too.

They just weren't good until the Arc-V era began.

(Other than Gishki but that was a single loop that was killed before the deck even left Japan.)

Now? Now they're pretty drat great.

Good job!

Reminds me of the time I bought a random handful of packs (like 8-10) from Storm of Ragnarok (I think?) And pulled both an ultra and an ultimate Shi En.

Or as a kid bought 2 packs of the team rocket Pokémon packs, and one had a dark blastoise hollow, the other a dark charizard hollow.

Official Tournament Store.
Basically a store thats allowed to host store sized tourneys with specially made boosters as prizes/participation awards.
They usually have really good cards with better odds of rares (i think) in them, the first one had Dark Laws, Monkeyboards and skullcrobats.

I just want Venom support, it's all I really want. On the other hand I do really like the new Ancient Gear stuff and they're a pretty awesome archetype too. In fact most of the Archetypes that don't do everything but instead do one thing really really hard are things I love. Although I don't know if Ancient Gear counts as that or I'm just used to my 1-shot power-bond Ancient Gear gimmick deck.

Chaos giant is good.
Chaos giant is really really good. Shame it cant be power bonded or limiter removal'd

The hardest part is actually getting him out as the search and grave dumping powers of ancient gears is a bit lacking.

The best you can do is gadget/tin fish , ss AGwyvern, search AGbox, grab AGknight, xyz into gear gigant X, grab AGhunting hound and even then unless you can get a poly in hand or hunting hound on the field you cant fusion into chaos giant until next turn with hunting hound.



FAKE E

Wait a second.
Foolish burial of belongings then AGdrill. too slow

Yeah seems like most ways to get chaos giant out are massive minuses, and unless you have fortress on yhe field its a prime target for monster effects.

Foolish Burial with Belongings is an insanely good card, on that note. It gives U.A.s the extra bit of searching power that I think the deck needs. I need to get into YGOPro and try rebuilding with deck with that teched in.
