Finnished Arc V 74.

Its official, every male who uses fusion summon is a psychotic asshole

Spoiler

I got angry the moment we see Sora being a Smug brat in the shadows. Fuck you, Yuya already bodied you, you were saved by the bell

Excited for the Ancient Gear Support, that fusion card is just ridiculous, no way they'll print it without a heavy nerf first.

What about Yuuya?

I was surprised Dennis showed his true colors that easily. I hope the subs make it more clear why, because it seemed like a random time to reveal his true identity rather than just take the loss. Also, disappointed it wasn't an entermage fusion

Dude was gonna get exposed no matter what (thanks to the Shun's trap card forcing him to reveal his hand) so I guess Dennis was just like, fuck it. Drawing that fusion card probably didn't help him hold back either.

New Archetype revealed "Dinomyte"

We've known about mist since rex dude.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

It's been about two years since I last made some cards and I was wondering if any of you would critique these.

When this card is Summoned: Target 1 card you control; send it to the Graveyard, then your opponent discards 1 random card. Once per turn, if you control no "Mercy Family: Unicorn" you can Special Summon 1 from your Graveyard or Banished Zone.

When this card is Summoned: Both players must send 2 cards from their Extra Deck to the Graveyard. Once per turn, when a card from your side of the field, hand, or Deck is sent to Graveyard by the effect of a card you control: Special Summon 1 "Mercy Family" monster from your Graveyard. This card's Attribute is also treated as DARK.

When this card is Summoned: Target 1 face-up monster you control and 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; the targeted monsters lose 500 ATK and DEF. If you control a "Mercy Family: Mrs. Mercy" and "Mercy Family: Mr. Mercy" this card gains 2300 ATK. This card's Attribute is also treated as DARK.

When this card is Summoned: Target 2 monsters your opponent controls; destroy those cards and then discard 2 cards. If there at least 2 other "Mercy Family" monsters on the field, this card cannot be destroyed by your card effects.

When this card is Summoned: Both players must send 1 Spell or Trap Card from their Deck to the Graveyard. Once per turn, when a card from your side of the field, hand, or Deck is sent to Graveyard by the effect of a card you control (other than this card): Add 1 "Mercy" Spell or Trap Card to your hand from the Graveyard.

If you control another "Mercy Family" monster, when this card battles with an opponent's monster: Destroy both monsters at the end of the Damage Step and any battle damage inflicted to either player's Life Points is also inflicted to your opponent.

When this card is Summoned: Both players must send 1 Spell or Trap Card they control to the Graveyard. Once per turn, when a card from your side of the field, hand, or Deck is sent to Graveyard by the effect of a card you control other than this card: Add 1 "Mercy" Spell or Trap Card to your hand from your Deck.

When this card is Summoned: Both players must banish 1 monster from their Graveyard. Once per turn, when a card from your side of the field, hand, or Deck is sent to Graveyard by the effect of a card you control: Target 1 monster you control; this turn, it can attack twice during each Battle Phase.

When this card is Summoned: Target 1 face-up card you control and 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; flip the targeted cards face-down. Once per turn, when a card from your side of the field, hand, or Deck is sent to Graveyard by the effect of a card you control: Target 1 monster your opponent controls; the targeted monster's effect(s) is negated until the End Phase.

When this card is Summoned: Both players must send 1 Monster Card from their Deck to the Graveyard. Once per turn, when a card from your side of the field, hand, or Deck is sent to Graveyard by the effect of a card you control other than this card: Add 1 "Mercy Family" monster from your Graveyard to your hand.

Each time a card from your side of the field, hand, or Deck is sent to the Graveyard by the effect of a card you control, your opponent loses 400 Life Points for each card sent to the Graveyard.

Once per turn, if a card from your side of the field, hand, or Deck is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect you control, add 1 "Mercy Family" monster from your Deck to your hand.

If your opponent destroyed any "Mercy" cards you controlled this turn: Target cards your opponent controls equal to or less than the number of "Mercy" cards your opponent destroyed this turn; return those cards to the hand. If this card was discarded or sent from your Deck to the Graveyard, you can Set it in your Spell & Trap Card Zone instead.

You can only activate this card if you control a "Mercy Family" monster. Special Summon this card as an Effect Monster (Wyrm-Type/DARK/Level 3/ATK 1800/DEF 1800). (This card is also treated as a Trap Card). At the start of the Damage Step, if this card attacks an opponent's face-up monster, destroy that monster.

 

[Regiruler]

Right off the bat: you can't target cards in the hand.

And your PSCT is atrocious.

I'm known as Pojo's harshest judge for the community CaC challenges, don't take it personally.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

How should I phrase that then and I did look up some official cards first to refresh myself on OCG. What about the archetype in general so far when it comes to playstyle and aesthetics?

New Archetype revealed "Dinomyte"

Yeah, I've been following the Dinomist cards since Rex. I just need a Fusion/Xyz Megazord and I'm completely sold. Speaking of Rangers, I still need to make an Igknight deck...

I finally got caught up with Arc-V!

Spoiler

Man, duels with Shun and people from Academia are the freaking best! I think his duel with Sora is still my favorite though. Yay for Sora being back too!

I'm still honestly surprised this team could pull off such a high quality series after the past blunder.

Its one reveal after another, always something going on, a great sense of tension.

Its quite good

New ARC V intro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEaFUIXd348

Pretty damn cool if you ask me

 

[hairypeckpeck]

Decided to try and build a semi competitive deck.

Bought 4x 2015 tins, 2 booster boxes (the new challengers and crossed souls), 3x masked hero structure decks, and a bunch individual "staple" cards.

Built 2 decks; masked Heros and tellarknights.

the masked heros deck is based off of this dude who placed top 32 in WCQ Europe http://yugiohtopdecks.com/deck/4294

my tellarknights deck is just a consensus from the top decks people have been placing well

haven't been to the local card shop in well over 10 years but i still see a bunch of people playing.

should be interesting...

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Could I get a proper critique please? I spent a hell of a lot of time on those cards, posted them on about 3 different sites, and would like some criticism, especially because I'm thinking about running another CCG and want to make sure these will be healthy for the game. I also want to add a couple more and the outcome of those will depend on what's needed for these currently.

 

[Wiseblade]

The whole "this card cannot be destroyed in battle by DARK monsters " part is WAY too much. Dark is the most populous attribute in the game and tons of archetypes will have DARK boss monsters. The worst part is that it really screws with the mirror match. Especially when you consider that some of those monsters are protected from destruction effects.It's just way too powerful an effect to be on an archetype of DARK monsters.

Other than that, you've essentially made Dark World's again. Game 1, the discard effects ruin your plays. Game 2 & 3, you side in your Gemini Imps and D Fissures to lock them out. At least Dark World decks are easier to disrupt and don't really decrease the size of your hand.

The easiest counter decks would be Shadolls and Dark World, but that stupid DARK immunity makes me take pause. Fabled would probably have some fun though.

Thank you. When I first saw the images that inspired me I thought the family should have some kind of feed or prey on the DARK element, but if it turned out to be too much like I expected, I'd drop it.

I can sort of see Dark Worlds, but not really. Dark Worlds is all about constantly drawing and discarding to swarm the field while the Mercy Family so far has to rely on Mr. Mercy for swarming and boosted effects from killing your own cards while at the same time killing something of your opponent's.

 

[Wiseblade]

Dark World monsters have effects that trigger when discarded. Mercy Family effects trigger when other cards are discarded.

The DARK effect wouldn't be quite so terrible bad if Mercy Family weren't dark themselves. just play out the mirror match in your mind.

Erm, what? It's absurdly easy to play around attribute-based protection. Go into practically anything from the extra deck. Shaddolls make anything other than Winda. BA make literally anything in their extra. And there aren't any other dark decks with a significant presence in the game, and really haven't been for at least 2 years. Even if you count decks like Ghostricks, they have a lot of utility and could just bypass it entirely.

On a different note, the Scroll Play Kickstarter has only about 2 weeks left. I know YGOrg posted it, and many of you already read YGOrg, but I felt like sharing for those that don't.

It would be easy, if they didn't have hand destruction effects. Shadolls and BA could bounce back pretty cleanly, but I still think the effect makes the match needlessly awkward and the mirror a real pain.

 

[SkullHydra]

Day freaking one.

EDIT: I don't think I can actually post the scan...

We now have a 'Power Ranger' Zord and Megazord archetype on the way. All of the hype.

 

[beanman25]

Would I be stupid to buy a premade deck off of ebay? Not looking for anything with amazing cards. I want to buy a performapal deck and some can be gotten for under 20 bucks.


I'm getting into the game again, and am just looking to acquire more decks. I have a hand built cyber dragon one, but performapals look amazing too.

Wow, that's really going to hurt Qli and Shadoll. I guess Qli decks will need to rely on skybase now

 

[Wiseblade]

I try to get out and Konami pull me right back in.

Nekroz, Shadoll and Qli got WRECKED. Some strong hits and removing a limiter on a solid counter deck makes them both less consistent in tournament play.

As a Prophecy & Six Samurai player, unlimited Shi En andSpellbook of Fate makes me laugh. The decks are going to be solid Tier 2 contenders now.

 

[Fj0823]

I for one, welcome our new Kozmo Overlords.

 

[Shadowcreep]

Goodnight sweet nekroz I'll miss you.

 

[Wiseblade]

Nekroz might be able to eke out a meager existence if the new archetypes don't completely obliterate everything. Shadolls and Qli are super dead though.

It's the typical Konami balance strategy: hit the decks currently running the show to make way for the new stuff.

 

[Wichu]

I won my local Sneak Peek again. As someone who mostly plays Magic, I'm starting to get the impression that Yu-Gi-Oh players aren't that great at limited formats like sealed deck.

Everyone else seemed to be trying to play archetypes, often with several in one deck, making a bunch of their cards useless half the time. I made sure as few as possible of my cards could be dead draws. Sure, go ahead and put your sweet Raidraptor Maces or whatever in your deck - I'll just be getting in for 1600 every turn with Skilled Red Magician while you fail to draw either of your two Raidraptors and the Maces rot in your hand. Even in the finals, my opponent was stuck with a bunch of useless Majespecter spells/traps after I beat his monsters to a pulp.

No good pulls this time unlike my Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon last time, but I did get another mat!

Yu-gi-oh players just aren't conditioned to think that way. Draft play only really comes up at sneak peeks and even then, people will just gravitate toward the stuff they know is powerful in standard play.

 

[Wichu]

The SDY Dark Magician art in Yugi's Legendary Decks is Common (the other two are Ultra). Goddamn it, Konami.

 

[Wiseblade]

Yeah, I don't understand why Konami have recently been shafting the best Dark Magician art.

Read up on Synchro, Xyz and Pendulum summon.

Then think about what kind of startegy.you'd like to play and come back to us.

We'll get you something good and likely affordable.

Thanks for that. I know a bit about Synchros and Xyzs (in term of how they work and summon). Will look up on Pendulum

As for strategy, i used to play a fiend beat down hand destruction deck. This was during the Yata-Lock period (yea, thats how long im out of touch lol) combo with cards like Don Zaloog, Vampire Lord etc

Currently im slowly playing / learning the game again via the PSP Arc-V game

i read that Yang Zhi can be quite complicated

So alongside Traptrix Rafflesia and Cyber Dragon Infinity, Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer is also Secret Rare.

I hope you didn't think $150 for a playset of Luster Pendulums was too expensive.

 

[Regiruler]

How does a super rare even get that expensive.

That said, only secret from BOSH that will reliably stay above 50 is notice and twin twister. The new rarity scheme will put a big dent on prices.
