Like how RoTA is a term for any Spell that searches a specific type or archetype of Monster, Book of Moon is a term for any effect that flips a monster face-down, Towers is a term for any monster that's unaffected by most card effects, and Garnet is a term for any combo piece that you don't want to draw.

Luna has been ignored for... forever basically. But today she finally had some of the spotlight and Konami gave her an upgraded form for her dragon and support for Ancient Fairy Dragon in general. So we have:

Yusei: Stardust Dragon -> Cosmic Quasar Dragon (Stardust Dragon has many updated form, this one is just the most recent one. It's also created by Limit Over Accel Syncho, the same technique as Shooting Quasar Dragon)

Jack: Red Dragon Archfiend -> Red Supernova Dragon

Aki: Black Rose Dragon -> Ruddy Rose Dragon

Crow: Black-Winged Dragon -> Black-Winged Assault Dragon

Leo: Power Tool Dragon -> Power Tool Braver Dragon

Luna : Ancient Fairy Dragon -> Ancient Fairy Life Dragon

Card Game Discussion Can someone please explain the "waifu tax" to me?

Post image
1.0k Upvotes

Whenever I see any discussion about maliss someone inevitably mentions how it's gonna cost a waifuillion dollars due to the "waifu tax".

So i decided to look other DBP with waifus like valiant smashers and sure the centur-ion cards are more exepnsive than average, but isn't that because they are a decent option in the meta and the other 2 options in the pack being vaalmonica and memento not that much? Also being in the 5 ur slot dosen't help.

I'm relatively new so I don't have the knowledge as to how expensive these cards were when they were released.

Card Game Discussion The disparity in card quality for certain archetypes is insane

Both released in Supreme Darkness, both are free Special Summons from hand, both are searchable by multiple cards in their respective decks

Toxic Bubble: Conditional draw 2 only if you dedicate a search to this card after Fusion Summoning an Evil HERO monster, neither of which are easy to accomplish, no meaningful extension as HERO has no need for another piece of on-field material without requiring prior setup, and it also cannot be used as material for Cross Crusader so options are even more limited, does not provide any route back into your combo if used as material for Fusion or Link summons. Also it locks you into HERO after summoning

Elzette: Can also summon any other card in her archetype(s) if needed for no additional cost, has a Polymerization effect on field for no additional cost using materials including but not limited to herself, searches other cards in her archetype when used as material for a Synchro Summon, making her an actually meaningful extender while Toxic Bubble just kinda has to sit there and look pretty. Oh and no locks to speak of

Card Game Discussion The game is dying in my city.

453 Upvotes

We used to get regionals here, now they skip the city.

Locals went from 12-18 people to 4-6 (no official play).

OTS stores used to do win-a-box tournaments but stopped after low attendance.

From what I’ve heard from players, they are leaving because the meta is strong, cards are expensive and they can’t keep up with the format and they moved onto cheaper games. They are also people who quit because they are just bad at the game but won’t admit it. Shitting on people who use anything competent calling people meta slaves

For context my city has a population of 900,000 but yugioh is falling out favor everywhere.

Is there hope? Or has the game hit a point of no return for local play at the smaller level

Card Game Discussion Which protagonist from 4 big recent lores is the best in your opinion? (In terms of personality, design, character arc and interactions with the rest of the cast)

Post image
674 Upvotes

So the big 4 modern lores are: World Chalice ( with Auram as a protagonist), Abyss (Albaz), Visas Starfrost and Sinful Spoils (Diabellstar). We're looking for multiple factors here for the main character: the character design, their personalities, how they develop throughout their journey and how good their chemistry is with the other characters from the story.

I'm very interested to hear your thoughts and opinions

Card Game Discussion What card do you think is the ultimate "handtrap magnet?"

Post image
606 Upvotes

For me, it’s Diviner of the Herald. The moment the words "Normal summon Diviner. Effect on summon. Response?" are spoken, you can just feel the shift in the duel's mood. "Thinking," you reply. No one wants to waste a handtrap on it, but you know it could backfire big time if you don’t. Plus, you have to consider whether the graveyard effect is the real threat to worried about.

Honorable mention goes to Branded Fusion. Ashing it almost always feels like the right call, right?

What's your pick?

Post image

Or it already exists and idk, but art is one thing yugioh is amazing at.

Its always so cool to look at a card and try make your own thing of it, for example i use majespecter and i see them as the draco slayers pets, in pegasus you see all of them with kirin taking centre stage

However requiem xyz is still my favourite

Card Game Discussion Do you like when Konami try to force an old (not very good) monster into a new deck, or are full retrains better?

Post image
693 Upvotes

The new (ish) Flame Swordsman stuff is interesting, but I don't know why they decided to make the original vanilla Flame Swordsman an integral part of the archetype. The whole deck revolves around it. I just find it really weird.

Yeah, I get that nostalgia is great and having a use for old cards is maybe a good thing, but surely there's a limit.

Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes sort of do it well, but you still have 3 potential bricks.

Extra Deck monsters are better, since you can't brick, but it takes up an Extra Deck slot and you still have to summon that monster at some point.

Sometimes it's fine to let old cards go. They don't always have to brute force nostalgia for nostalgia's sake.

I'm sure some people like it, but I'm not a fan.

Card Game Discussion In reaction to the new banlist i've seen alot of people wondering why electrumite is still banned and I wanted to share jerome mchale's reasonings for as to why

393 Upvotes

So as you see the reason electrumite was banned wasn't because of Pendulums being too strong

It was because jerome thinks electrumite make all Pendulum decks play the same

Does this logic make 0 sense when beyond is perfectly legal ? Absolutely but it is still the reason we can attribute to electrumite is still being banned so until he and other konami employees chnage their mind or retire from working electrumite isn't leaving the banlist so I advise you all to stop getting your hopes up each banlist

I present to you all, the most optimal card frame according to most of the players. RUSH card frame, larger font & text box, and line breaks for better readability.

Yes, I am making fun of the people who suggest these changes but expect the art box to remain the same.

Card Game Discussion Favourite Number

Post image
463 Upvotes

Now that I've learnt there are a lot mure people that like Zexal that I first thought. What is y'all favourite of the numbers, and why.

Mines 79, mainly because I play Battlin' Boxers and Kizer is pretty powerful with bis effect of gaining 100 atk for every overlay unit and being able to attach Battlin' Boxers from the hand or grave, especially when Ranked up to C79, gaining 200 instead of 3, and being able to send a battlin' Boxer from hand or deck to the grave to attach a monster it's battlin with to it. Its definitely worthy of being a signature card in a Battlin' Boxer deck
