I got to the second to last round of part one and then just got so tired of seeing the same Kashtira combo over and over and over again with the only variation being some of them splashing into Kashtira Scareclaw or Tearlament for one different card on board.

Why the gently caress is Duelist Cup the only event Konami runs on repeat

It's like ranked duel, but worse

"exodia but it's an actual supported summoning mechanic" is such an obvious slam dunk that it's shocking it took this long for them to figure it out

Pokemon sorta did that too with V-Union though iirc it was kind of a bust

it was pokemon's second attempt at it after "Legend" cards, slotting in at 2 and 4 card exodias to compliment ygo's 3 and 5. Legends seemed to have been a flop due to being underpowered for the effort that went into them (though very cool collectors items), and while V-Union was appropriately strong, they had the issue of being thrown randomly into a format that already had a lot of supported gimmicks & never got dedicated support itself. they also had to release all of them as promos, realizing correctly that no kid was gonna be excited to pull mewtwo's right leg out of a booster pack, but this made distribution uneven so some regions didn't even have access to the cards

Cause Master Duel is a serious game for serious duelists. Just ignore the fact that it's best of 1, lacks a sideboard, is 6 months/1 year behind the paper game, and lacks a banlist that even remotely attempts to balance itself around best of 1. :v:

speaking of sideboards, i think the one scariest/fun design space that YGO still needs to mine is stuff like Wish in MTG where you can pull sideboard cards during the match

Also Pokemon's evolution system kinda makes them more inclined towards those 'specific card combos' anyway. That's just remixing how their core mechanics work.

If anything, despite being there from the jump, Exodia is the most 'unsupported gimmick' of the game, it's never worked in ways the rest of the game does.

Feeling kinda proud of myself. My opponent just uploaded a match he lost to Master Duel's Duel Live. Although it does mean dozens of people are going to witness me miss lethal with Magistus vs Black Wing because I forgot to summon a monster I searched...

It's so obnoxious. They can go first, set up their Towers monster, and even if you somehow manage to get rid of it, they'll still have drawn several cards, brought back a Purrely monster, and just completely set themselves up for the next turn.

Seriously, it's annoying a deck that obnoxious has gone this long without any hits.

Speaking of R-ACE though. I don't think I've seen a deck go from unplayable to actually good with a single card before. At least not to this degree. Promethean Princess really irons out most of the issues I had with the deck: she's interaction; she recovers your board; and she can get you to lethal. I've even gotten away with replacing cards to get to Hydrant with more handtraps and extenders. Would actually recommend the deck in this state.

Started playing again and was saving my gems up for VS but built mikanko instead cause I figured VS was at least 2+ months away. Still got like 6k so hopefully that's enough to get started on it.

Just of the Nouvelles alone, you could probably get away with 2x field spell, 2x Poissoniere and 1x Baelgrille, saving you 60 UR dust.
