So how are the new rules/LINK cards or whatever? I kinda dropped out of playing some time right after pendulum hit outside of a few video game entries and the Link cards/new Special Summon zone seems interesting but weird. Do pendulum summoned monsters bypass that mechanic or is that summoning method's gimmick just hosed?

Really hoping Abhyss end up being good. The tribute summoning from the graveyard and constant resurrection seems like a fun gimmick. Plus they're all Light and DArk so you can splash a lot of other poo poo in with them.

Doremichord being about pendulum summoning without actually pendulum summoning is such a weird niche. Hope they're at least fun.

Duel Links was kind of supposed to be that at first, then turned into an object lesson in why Konami cannot be trusted to manage power creep.

It was more a lesson in that most of the early cards in the game were just kind of bad and unfun to play.

E Hero will never die. Also boy there's a lot of instant fusion cards in here trying to make Neo Spacian work and I'm here for it honestly.

code:

Wake Up Your E HERO
Level 10 LIGHT Warrior Fusion Effect Monster
ATK 2500 DEF 2100
Materials: 1 �Elemental HERO� Fusion Monster + 1+ Warrior monsters 
Must be Fusion Summoned.
(1) Gains 300 ATK for each Fusion Material used for its Summon. This card can make a number of attacks on monsters each Battle Phase, 
up to the number of Fusion Monsters used as material for its Summon.
(2) If this card battled a monster, after damage calculation: Destroy that monster, and if you do, inflict damage 
to your opponent equal to its original ATK.
(3) If this Fusion Summoned card is destroyed: Special Summon 1 Warrior monster from your hand or Deck.

You know what, They made Manjome Thunder RP both fun and actually playable, maybe we can make Judai RP half decent. PLus I really like the art and idea behind most these new E-Hero cards. Neo Space and E Heroes working together, 'TO ME, MY HEROES!' as a fusion card, all top notch. I mean look, even Winged Kuriboh is in the team!

Wait why haven't they made HERO Winged Kuriboh card yet?

Where are the Ojamas fitting into your Manjoume RP deck? They need to be there, of course.

https://ygoprodeck.com/chazz-it-up-4/

This is the deck list I started with and then I just started loving with ratios and putting in generic support/defense staples as I win/lose and see what worked out. I did a lot of this on sim and now am trying to rebuild in Master Duel without just whaling for card pulls.

https://ygoprodeck.com/power-rangers-armed-dragons-chazz/

This one is probably a better starting point now, though. It also uses Armed D. Thunder level 10 which means you get to do the whole ONE! TEN! ONE HUNDRED! ONE THOUSAND! MAJOUME THUNDA! shtick as a recovery/alt win condition.

God I was just thinking about it, Gem -Knights are Genex 2.0 aren't they. Zefra is their third attempt, World Legacy is their fourth. Who at Konami is obsessed with the idea of taking a bunch of support cards for otherwise mechanically unrelated archetypes and glueing them together?

Gem-Knights are E Hero 2.0 (Elementally/Color Themed base team fuse together in many combinations, heavy focus on battle effects and pumping out more fusion, being canonically heroes with burning hearts of justice) and also good wtf?

Gem-knights are a deck based on combining their own monsters with other ones of specific types/attributes more commonly found in other decks that they're connected to by lore. They're Genex.

No you can run pure GEm-Knights and cover every single type and attribute you need for every fusion.

Like they have pyros and thunder and aqua etc in their own archetype.

They just cover a poo poo ton of types with their fusions so there's overlap with other archetypes because those types aren't unique to Gem Knights. Like that's a dumb comparison. They're explicitly trying to be E-Hero 2.0

You can also do this with Genex. They might be E-heroes 2.0, but they're also Genex 2.0. Their fusion monsters even all have the thing you're supposed to fuse them with in their art.

But that's still not a sensible comparison. Because it's such a stretched idea that you could apply to any archetype with multiple Extra deck summons and multiple types. Which is... a lot of them.

It's not a useful comparison because it doesn't actually tell you anything about how the archetypes function comparatively nor how good nor bad they are.

Saying something is Genex 2.0 implies that they're probably pretty bad because what most people think about Genex is "Oh this is just half designed garbage" and not "Oh this in an archetype about summoning with multiple types". Calling them say, E-Hero 2.0 does actually give you an idea about their intended playstyle and concept. Gem-Knights were not intended to be played with anything but gem-knights. Because their designs and lore specifically are built around them fusing with one another and they cover everything then need so the phrase

Dabir posted:

is just a bad read on the archetype. Their support is all focused on them specifically outside of Gem-Rose which is a anime reference card meaning it's designed for that first and not strictly for use in the actual card game.

I think Cleretic was asking about hte new arcethypes.

One of which is Mysterune https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Mysterune

They're based on first person RPGs and are built around slamming out your guys from the extra deck immedietly and using there effects for protection while you recycle quick play spells for disruption and milling.

quote:

Spring of the Mysterune
Field Spell:
You can activate "Mysterune" Quick-Play Spell Cards from your hand during your opponent's turn. Once per turn, if you activate a "Mysterune" Quick-Play Spell Card: You can target up to 3 "Mysterune" Quick-Play Spells in your GY; place them on the bottom of the Deck in any order, then draw that many cards.

quote:

Deceit of the Myster Rune
Continuous Spell:
You can only control 1 "Deceit of the Mysterune". Each time a Quick-Play Spell Card is activated: Banish the top card of your opponent's Deck.

Most of your quick play spells disrupt AND mill but you don't get to battle BUT your monsters are really only there to give further protection and searches.

ALSO THEY BANISH not send to GY so you can slap in SOul absorption and Fire Princess to be a huge rear end in a top hat.

Valiants also seems like it'll be insanely fun. You force your opponent ot play an SRPG in a card game format where you're physically shoving their monsters into the spell/trap zone like they're crystal beasts to brick them up.

Hell on of them acts as a archetype fusion when it's summoned by movement and you can forced that on an opponents turn and one of hte fusions just let's you set an effect monster to any spell/trap zone as a main phase only quick effect.

You just slap their boss monster into the s/t to be a brick.

I'm doing Metalfoes F.A. and it's incredibly fun. Popping your own cards to draw and search and flood the board with the baboon plant guy then you Fuse out to Metalfoes to recycle the Spell/traps and monsters to search next turn and eventually ending on like, Metalfoes Mithrilium Odd-Eyes Absolute, Heartlandraco and cross sheep and a clear enemy board.

or you just make you FA Hang On Mach very big, banish everything and use the quick play spell to put it in defense and pop a card on your opponents turn.

Dragon maid players elects to go first, sets 3 passes. I duster (Aside feather storm also being an hfd recycler is insane), Play lyrilusc bird call get Maxx C'd and elect not to summon anything, pass.

Okay so they're down to 1 card in hand, they play a maid get a spell link to Striker Dragon, play a spell to ressurect, link into Heiretic Seal. "Okay that might be an issue...I'll have to bait out something or go Nightning Gale first to get the protecti-"

They then banish to ressurect another dragonmaid to link up to the no effect Gaia Linker hit me for 2.6k and pass.

I'd say the main thing Dark Magician has over Blue-Eyes is that Eternal Soul is better than True Light, and they kinda have better ways to protect it.

It's still fairly easy to just beat their heads in if you get a monster stronger than 2800 Attack on the field, but if you don't then Dark Magician can be harder to out because of that.

Yeah but blue eyes doesn't really need true light to make plays and eternal soul seems very crucial to DMs playbook
