TaurusOxford posted:It's entirely possible they were scooping in hopes of being matched with an opponent they could curbstomp, rather than having a drawn-out duel. I think it's exactly this. You might not get EXP for surrendering, but that doesn't mean sitting there waiting to lose is a good use of your time.

i'm only familiar with it in duel links, but there are loads of opponents who will surrender the second it looks like you're actually going to play the game. more than a couple times i have taken a look at my opponent's board, thought "well I'm not sure how I'm going to crack this but i might as well try", normal summoned a monster & my opponent immediately wets themselves & scoops

Bo1 encourages giving up too fast, especially if you're getting tilted.

What I hate is how you’re probably still going to get nothing even if you stick it out because of how piddly the points are for almost everything except winning. Aside from being just that desperate to clear out a daily mission, there’s literally no reason to not surrender and move on to the next match once it becomes clear that you’ve irrecoverably lost.

It's really stupid how the points don't stack between matches. Like, thanks for the 3500 points - 500 of which are completely worthless.

I actually caught a self-burn deck in the replays for the five gems. They managed to get themselves down to 100LP before passing, and the opponent still insisted on comboing into a 12000 attack King of Skull Servants for the kill.

Setting a pendulum scale would count as activating a spell card, sure. And any activated effects from them would be spell effects.

Something that I don't think was shared here was that a few weeks ago, in the OCG, a deck got a 3rd place tournament finish with Mushroom Man #2. Yes, THAT Mushroom Man. This is the decklist:  And yeah, there is a real meta reason for it, with other decks including a copy in their sideboards apparently. Stealing from reddit: redditor posted:Kashtira is the deck that can make good use of it, especially in the mirror match. Mushroom Man #2 has 2 effects; mandatory eff of owner taking 300 every standby phase, and paying 500 in endphase to give the card to the opponent.

It's a pity that it's about to become irrelevant before somebody has to come up with a counter to Mushroom Man #2. All hail Ishizu Tearlament.

I saw a great Ishizu cosplayer at PAX Australia, and I can only imagine she is exactly the one person extremely hype about Ishizu Tearlament. That said, I do want more meta retrains of extremely 'anime' cards. C'mon, Konami, let me kick Spright's rear end with a tennis-themed deck.

girl dick energy posted:Hell, make them new Gishki support so they have an archetype to prop them up instead of being one-off legacy support that gets immediately forgotten about. Make them generic ritual support that's busted and name them all Ritual Origin. Like "Ritual Origin: Hangry Burger" lets you bin it to search any ritual monster and a ritual spell and if you use that spell this turn you can banish from the graveyard for cost. Seriously just back ritual busted again, gently caress this extra deck garbage.

Just won a match with the Dinomorphia loaner vs. an Agent of Order deck that ended with an 8-chain  I started by activating the trap to rez a couple of them… specifically, the guy that lets you send a card from deck to do 500 LP to the opponent on summon, after I’d knocked them down to 300 thanks to Stealthbergia getting to activate off of something with 3200 ATK. That then kicked off a string of negates and counter-negates (including a set Infinite Impermanence from the opponent!) that all ended with my little guy’s effect getting to go off.

Fun Dinomorbin fact for you gamers, if you only have 1 LP, anything that costs half is free since it rounds down. Meaning you can in fact get no cost Solemn Judgements. It's very funny.

Two related questions: 1) Is Dinomorphia an actually legitimately good deck outside of the gimmick format? 2) How long does it usually take for retired Selection Packs to become discoverable secret packs? Looks like I just missed the boat on the Invincible Raid one that had a lot of the pieces for the deck

1) There are cards that haven't been released yet that will make it a better deck, but it will never be the meta. 2) It hasn't happened yet, but there are signs that they're at least planning on adding new cards to the old packs.
