YGO is one exception to the rule, it floats between /v/ and /tg/, but not everyone likes /tg/.

>>51006650
You could always, you know, attack and kill it
Doesn't it also affect all Dragon-type monsters on the field and just not the ones you control?
Could also just use that to your advantage

>>51006650
You have to remember that this card was released when effect monsters were the minority and normal monsters actually saw extensive play outside of meme decks.

Synchros are basically Ritual Monsters, but they stay in your extra deck, and instead of using Ritual Spells to summon them, you use Tuner Monsters + Non-Tuner monsters. Also you have to meat the level requirements for Synchros exactly, so you can't summon a level 8 tuner with cards that add up to 9 for example.

>>51024032
She doesn't vomit it out. She has a disorder which cause her to not properly digest food so she poops food if she binge eats

>>51021520
It's because Yugioh's only format is Legacy and new sets have to sell, thus, power creep.

>>51007111
Why would I exert the effort to defend a card that doesn't make or break anything but some really old gimmick combos? To get Lady of D to do anything without dying instantly, you have to open the absolute perfect 4 cards, and then you STILL have to actually win at some point without getting your backrow blown up or your monsters negated.

So honestly as a medium-new player whose only experience with Yu-Gi-Oh is the horrible obnoxious playerbase, why/why *not* Yu-Gi-Oh? I think it has a neat mashed up crazy aesthetic.

>>51026862
Does that mean she can eat her own shit?

>>51029697
I just like the lack of set rotation and resource system. You'd be surprised how few card games go without these things.

>>51029747
I love that I apparently can still play with all my middle school cards, despite them being underpowered now.

>>51029864
Some are flat out banned. The earlier spells like Raigeki & Heavy Storm are either limited or banned thanks to how strong they are.

>>51026862
>Falling for it

>>51006650
Most effects, spells and traps at the time did not "target". It was near fucking useless when it came out.

>>51029715
Technically anyone "can" eat their own shit, it's just a question of whether or not she'd want to.

>>51030129
But the game has been so power crept that Raigeki which is limited to 1 now isn't even being played. No rotation sounds cool (and all the legacy support of old archetypes is nice) but the power creep of Yugioh is becoming absurd.

>>51033158
Right. It's either "I have a generic, easy answer to this problem, or I die" most turns of the game once it starts to really roll.

>>51033179
In this game your deck is both your shield and your sword. A sword will kill a man in a single strike unless a man is extremely fortunate. A shield will protect a man from killing strikes and with deft use allow for a counterattack.
Do not blame the man for swinging his sword with the intent to kill, learn better and wield your shield.

>>51033260
The point I'm making is that the swords are so godly that unless you have a god-deflecting shield at any given moment, you just die off instantly.

>>51033297
Do I hear you crying because a man was smart enough to sharpen his sword, whereas you left your unkept and dull? No sword is all powerful of godly, a mans sword is only as good as the man who uses it. You need not a "god deflecting shield", you need first to learn how to properly wield your shield.

Gem-Knights truly are the best archetype.

>>51033493
A fusion monster called Crimson Nova Trinity the Dark Cubic Lord. It is a level 10 DARK attribute fiend type with 4500 attack and 3000 defence. It requires 3 copies of Crimson Nova the Dark Cubic Lord to summon, it must be fusion summoned and it cannot be special summoned by other ways. It cannot be targeted or destroyed by your opponents card effects. When it declares an attack, your opponent loses half his life points. When this card destroys a monster by battle it can make a second attack during the battle phase. While this card is on the field, if you take any effect damage your opponent takes the same amount of damage to their life points.

"Oh no, the other guy expanded on my metaphor, I better call them a crybaby."

You're so goddamned laughable. Obviously this game takes strategy, but a lot of cards are just so powerful that there's no reason to not run them, the same way that some cards are so good at stopping shit from happening that there's no reason to not run them. Sure, decks need win-cons and answers, but it's gotten a little ridiculous.

>>51033612
Never heard anyone call it that before, but it's not surprising.

If you can get it running, it can be pretty damned good. It has its own shortcomings, though.

>>51033614
I'm not calling you a crybaby because you expanded my metaphor, I'm calling you a crybaby because you refuse to accept your own defeats and learn from them, instead choosing to blame literally anything and everything but yourself for your own failures.

So for fun I want to make a Cat themed deck, but I'm coming blank on any actual strategy. Obviously competitiveness is out the window, but I'd like to win some casual games with my friends.

So far I've got

Cat's Ear Tribe
Lock Cat
Catnipped Kitty
Magicat
Rescue Cat
Cat Shark

Other than those the only cats I can find are tigers (which I'd like to avoid if I can), a performal & Crystal beast which are maybes but obviously their effects would be redundant and... maybe... Copycat... I know that's cheating but I like that card.

Obviously these cards have very little to no synergy however, so thoughts? I think all of them being low level might be good for a level limit B strat but I dunno

>>51044587
>Level Limit B
That won't work, since XYZ monsters exist, and they don't have levels.
You could use spells/traps that prevent destruction with Cat's Ear Tribe, using them to destroy any monsters that aren't immune to its effect. Besides that, all I can say is that you're going to have to rely on some generic spells/traps for extra support.

>>51044587
Wind-Up Cat & The Dark Cat with White Tail will be somewhat useful I guess. The Fabled Catsith is the only Cat Tuner I'm aware of & will make Magicat not useless. No idea what you'll actually Synchro into though, there's just no Cat Synchros as far as I'm aware. Use Cat's Ear Tribe, maybe some Swords of Revealing Light/Mirror Force/Negate Attack/ect. Level Limit Area B will have limited use since y'know XYZ. You'll need equip cards, I suggest United We Stand. You'll want to swarm your side of the field, keep the fuckers alive and have a low level death star if all goes as planed

In order for a card to target, it has to literally have the "target" keyword in it's effect text box. Unless it's something like an equip spell that targets by default.

>tfw would return back to YGO

Did Konami lose control or what?

>>51051959

They lost control as early as Metal Raiders or whatever set had Mirror Force and Torrential Tribute. The game started with "Summoned Skull and 7 Colored Fish: the Deck" and continued to creep from there.

With the amount of sets YGO has shat out over the years, with the requirement of every few sets having at least one deck archetype that can beat the current top decks in order to sell their product, that's a shit ton of power creeping.

>>51052049

i can't pull it up but i remember hearing that the creator of the series once said that joey is actually a better duelist than yugi & kaiba it's just that he doesn't have access to the cards they do.

also it's implied that he did beat yugi for his red eyes at the end of battle city.

also dartz was totally that kid who would print out his own cards & make them insanely OP

>>51057703
i'm suprised that we didn't get a dragon ball super style revival of the original series when that movie was announced

or would that have retconned GX, 5Ds, ZEXAL & ARC V?

>>51057933
The other series are set in another dimension/alternate universe so that wouldn't be a problem

>>51057933
ZEXAL and ARC-V are different dimensions, so it wouldn't have mattered. They could easily redo yugioh without causing a huge amount of retconning.

>>51057959
adding:

not only that, but in the bonds beyond time movie(the only time 5Ds interacted with either GX or DM), yusei synchro summons around yugi, and his memory was not wiped, meaning yugi is now aware of synchro summoning, opening up DM to new mechanics.

to be honest though I'd rather see a remake of DM with all the modern mechanics

i consider shonen the japanese equivalent of superhero comics with the exception of a few writers here & there i don't really expect anything mind blowing going in

i liked season 0/pre-DM because the premise was more interesting

also i felt the games they introduced in it were more interesting than the card game.

>>51058388
IMO later series like early 5Ds and later GX and ZEXAL were far higher quality than DM ever was. The only thing DM has going for it is some fairly strong character development.

>>51058418
i couldnt really get into GX almost everyone came off as either annoying or "like a character in DM but..."

5Ds i expected it to be worse than GX or some of the filler arcs in DM but i ultimately was surprised at how good it was

i never really saw ZEXAL but the stuff that I did see i couldn't sit through because of how bad the dub was

i know jack shit about ARC V and never saw it

>>51058558
GX starts off awful but by the time season 3 starts the characters really develop and become their own people.

ZEXAL starts off painfully bad, but towards the end of the first half it really picks up in a good way

ARC V starts really good, then executive meddling among other things absolutely butchered the pacing, and now it's just about over and very few people still like it.

>>51058558
>i never really saw ZEXAL but the stuff that I did see i couldn't sit through because of how bad the dub was
After DM, you pretty much have to stop watching the dub. GX's is tolerable in places, but there's a lot of questionable lines and the dub refuses to take itself seriously, which was part of GX's charm early on. The fact that they skipped the best season of the show is just extra shit on the pile.

5Ds with its dumb ass robotic bitch explaining every godamn card was stupid, especially when 5Ds routinely had the characters explaining the cards and their effects as they were used in the original. There's no comparison between the two in every category.

ZeXal is pretty shit in places to begin with, so a bad dub will make it outright unwatchable. Plus, you miss out on little shit like Anna using "ore".

Arc-V's dub is like a train that left the station only half on the tracks. It was wrecked before it started, and Shay's VA can get as much praise from 2ch as he wants, but he can't carry the show on his own.

Two things. First, they could have translated it to something less stupid. You know, a little damage control. Second, they could have noticed that a direct translation would have been way longer than the original and somehow compensated.

I can never tell what kind of tone this game is intended to have. Most of it looks like it's trying to be all serious and edgy, but it has these little touches that make it impossible to take it seriously. It's like if every Magic set were like Unglued or Unhinged but nobody ever acknowledged the humor.

>>51059805
>yugioh

The tone of yugioh is whatever you want it to be, it doesn't have a set theme.

>>51059805
We have a set where the literal demons from the circles of actual Hell are alongside a bunch of possessed puppets, Chinese dragons that reincarnate endlessly, heroes of light that throw themselves into black holes to make a bigger hero of light, and fucking XTREME SPORTS FROM THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Consistent tone ain't really Yugioh's thing.

It's true. noone is "good" at yugioh, you can only be varying degrees of bad. At best you can aspire to be less bad than everyone else, but even so you will still be bad.

>>51033734
Have you tried not running Pendulum HEROs?
Have you tried not playing anti-meta and just playing casually with some bros over the net?

We're in a fucking Casual Golden Age right now. Have been for a year or two at this point. A wide variety of good, solid casual decks can be built from scratch for less than $10 each, including staples. Simulators exist if even that's too much for your wallet, and they're updated fairly regularly. Simulators also have online brackets for tryhards and lobby rooms for casuals, and also let you play with your bros.

This game is piss easy to play for fun nowadays, but you have to let go of the notion that the competitive meta is the true and full "state of the game".

>>51059471
Its just a beautiful picture. I meant the archetype, sorry for not being clear.

>>51051959
>Acting like "I normal summon an 1800 ATK monster and run into a mirror force, then you do the same: the experience" is better than the wicked insane shit that is going around in the meta right now

>>51060466
Spirits recently got a fuckton of good support in the form of Espirits (provisionally localized as "Shino-" for some reason). They're rituals that let you shit out Spirits to fuck your opponent up. They also just got Amaterasu, which is a damn good Spirit monster if you can consistently play it.

>>51060560
I wouldn't say the Espirits are good. They have some really neat boss monsters but it's a real problem making the deck stay together, even with Ara and Nikitama to help out.

I blame most of the birds being utter trash other than the draw one, who isn't even that good himself.

>>51060312

Anyone have a decent Destruction Blader decklist? I've seen the support in the recent sets but I've not got the time to shitbrew something.

>>51060653
By casual standards, it's definitely workable. Most casual decks have That One Hand they never want to see. For Superheavies, it's basically any hand where they have dupes of the same monster, and that monster isn't Soularbiter or Soulpiercer. Raidraptors hate opening without Call or Nest. Abyss Actors hate having no Wild Hope and no Extra.

>>51060225
yeah, I don't have all them memorized. I could name all the shadolls, qlis, and probably the zefras given enough time, but I didn't pay enough attention to the infernoids beyond dekatron and tierra(who are pictured).

oh, I also just noticed evilswarm kerykieon and...I think constellar pollux there.

>>51060368
I like your notion, it just seems like people want a format arbitrator and that has defaulted to tournament play. Its like when someone in your casual playgroup goes full retard and invests hundreds of dollars when everyone else is happily playing fifty dollar or less decks.
Obviously, the game is just an extension of yalls social interactions so you'd have to come to some agreement, but it does present unnecessary conflict that many would like to avoid. So, you guys want to keep the casual fun going, but your retarded friend won't change and exclusion could create butthurt.

I'm not saying I agree with any of the above or that tournament play is the true state of the game. I'm groping at the idea that people seem to export format power level balancing to organized play because they don't want to deal with the responsibility and consequences. Not guy you were responding to.

Best era was synchro era but with the degenerate shit like BW and Samurais banned. Plants, Tengu, Junk Synchrons, XX-Wings without Rescue Cat, Monarchs, anti-meta stun, Frogs, Fabled, Lightsworn, Infernities, tons of fun decks.

>>51060560
>Espirits
I don't follow releases too closely because Spirit stuff is really sparse, but thats a bummer. It looks like needing other monsters to even play the original spirits in a competitive manner is really going to limit what one can run.
Should just get some decent magic or trap support instead of this garbage or super slow and projected boss monsters.

>>51060786
>Recyclable and Searchable "Fuck You" every turn forever.
I mean, don't get me wrong, Infernities can do some silly shit, even now, but Barrier @ 3 was a mistake.

>>51018360
That card was released in the TCG first.

The Jap name is a translation.

>>51060803
You've always needed stuff like Aratama and Nikitama to do well in a Spirit deck, and those are both sorta-kinda cheap cards. The problem is that Spirits are just inherently super flawed mechanically, so they're always going to struggle and rely on rigid combos to get shit done. It also doesn't help that, as previously mentioned, most Spirit monsters were pretty bad, even for their era of release.

You might try Yosenju, which are basically retrained spirits, but you're gonna be hard-pressed to get all of your favorite spirits to function in a deck without being in Brick City every game.

>>51060786
How are Chickenshits degenerate instead of Infernities?

>>51061073

Compare the bans. Infernity get barrier banned to be tame, but BW and SS had their engines banned/limited to be tamed. Whirlwind and Gate vs. Barrier.

>>51061248
compare what's still banned.

>>51060982
Yes, before the release of those two, spirits still needed a way to search and draw. I just don't like how the missing components continue to come in monster form, which gives the original spirits less space and removes incentives to play with the original achetype. (Add to this new achetypes experiencing effect bloat, pulling the weight of 3 or even 4 cards.) All spell and trap support has been bad, gimmick flavor cards to occupy the obligatory trash commons. I don't want spirits to be serious competitive contenders, I want them to have the basic foundations to play.

>>51061363
I definitely feel your pain, anon. One day Spirits, Neos, Rituals, and Geminis won't all be fundamentally trash and will get overhauled at the base level.

>>51061389

>>51061420
Nekroz and Gishki are only good because they have a bunch of really nice effects. They don't actually solve any of the problems for Rituals all that well. Cards like Pre-Preparation of Rites are a step in the right direction, but we're still far from fixing the cards.

Literally Pendulum, bro. With Lv 3, that's not even hard to get to.

There should be a tournament between /v/ and /tg/ to see which board host the yugioh threads.

>>51061874
Scoop turn 1 so it's not shitting up /tg/.

>>51061874
I would join the /v/ side and get to the top of the bracket just so I could scoop at the last second so that I never actually have to willingly go to /v/.

>>51061874
you mean /vg/ and /tg/, since /v/ rarely has yugioh threads, if at all, and when it does they usually get deleted by mods because "lol, not vidya"

>>51061874
Does the winning or the losing board host them..?

>>51061874
Sounds impractical as fuck, as much asI'd love a team vs team tournament. I don't think it's gonna happen.

>>51061874
But how will you guys win against The Greatest Champion of Justice, GETTER?

>>51061997
Getter doesn't duel anymore. He lost a shadow game, remember?

>>51061917

>>51061874
Just keep them at /vg/.

Ygo needs the same level of intelligence required for video games, its only fair to keep them in their containment board.

>>51061880
Winner would decide, dumbskull.

>>51061894
Yeah, you get my drift though.

>>51062067
If YGO has to leave /tg/, it takes all other trading card games with it. Yes, even MtG. No argument used for YGO can't be used for MtG, except MAYBE "lel weebshit".

Fuck off.

>>51062045
He was posting shit like 3 weeks ago

>>51062114
Regardless, shadow game rules idssallow him from participating.

>>51062129
disallow*

>>51062129
>>51062150
I don't think any cares about those anymore.

>>51059838
It's not a purely abstract game like Go, which I think is the only real way for a game to not have a tone at all. It has dozens of completely incompatible tones, a lot of which will inevitably show up in the same duel.

>>51062251
>Go doesn't have a tone

Check your white privilege you genocidal black-flipping faggot.

>>51019585

>Just play trash cards bro

Its like you dont even know what yugioh was like in the old days. It used to be beatsticks: the game

>>51033493
A fucking worthless boss monster made of 3 much more useful and more easily played boss monsters.

>>51061874
>/v/ and /tg/
>when the general dedicated to YGO is on fucking /v/
/dng/ exists you retard.

>>51062477
we're aware, and we want to move it to /tg/

>>51062490
Why though? /dng/ has existed for years and has been fine there, it'd be a huge mess to move it here, people here fucking hate YGO anyways, and we'd lose people who didn't know it moved.

>>51062502
>people here fucking hate YGO
Exactly, we want to change that

>>51062517
And how is moving a cancerous general like /dng/ here going to fix that exactly?

>>51062657
Having a constant thread up for yugioh will make it a part of /tg/ tradition in due time. After a while they'll be used to us and the hate will die down severely.

>>51062686
Good luck convincing everyone in /dng/ to move, the last time someone did, it was a shitty namefag who kept forcing it and hence made everyone dislike the idea entirely.

>>51062502
>we'd lose people who didn't know it moved

Good, DNG is shit anyway. 99% of it is namefags circlejerking and gossiping instead of talking about the game.

>>51062724
Everyone's tired of talking about the game at this moment, because it's mostly just Zodiac cancer.

>>51062708
I have 0 intentions of becoming a namefag. the "convincing" part is what the tournament is for. as cancerous as you claim /dng/ to be, they tend to stick to their word when a duel is involved.

>>51062737
>as cancerous as you claim /dng/ to be, they tend to stick to their word when a duel is involved.

Say that to every namefag who's lost a shadow duel and stayed around, which is around half of the current ones.

>>51059173
didn't the dub of 5Ds cut out the final season too?

i remember the who shit with Z-ONE not getting localized

>>51062759
We'll leave them behind. don't worry about it.

>>51062762
Dub of GX cut out like half of the 3rd season and all of the 4th IIRC
Dub of 5DS cut a lot too and just kind of left it in the middle of the WRGP IIRC.
Sub 5DS is so much better anyways.

>>51062768
How do you even plan on doing this tournament? I can try to get some good /dng/ duelists to participate if you set some rules/times/etc.

>>51062810
well FIRST of all, i'm not saying anything until we start a new thread. this one is past bump limit. Secondly, we already have several volunteers for both sides of this tournament, just need to sort the time.

>>51062854
>several volunteers
I wanna know who they are, some people in /dng/ claim to be good but are honestly pretty shit.

>>51062871
All will be revealed next thread.

Why can't there just be 2 generals like what /m/ and /toy/ have for gunpla?

>>51062889
Because /tg/ will launch a crusade on any card game not blessed by WOTC

>>51062915

Seems like they're fine with every card game that's not YGO though.

>>51062889
Because faggots will fall for the bait and mods won't smack people trying to stir shit.

>>51062925
>Vanguard
The one game they claim is too luck based when one of the main skills is being able to count cards

>>51062937
The problem with vanguard threads is simply there aren't enough people playing vanguard. There gets to be like 11 posters max before the thread dies.

>>51062969
True. Then again, I would love to create a way to introduce Vanguard and maybe get people on /tg/ to try out our version of DNG

>>51062987
Prove to me that it isn't a ridiculously powercrept pile of nonsense like Bushiroad loves to make and I'd frequent a vanguard gen.

Honestly, though, I feel like you could combine all of the Bushiroad games into a single gen, like they used to have on /vg/.

>>51062987
I think it's first impressions. They see wordy shit with clusterfucks of symbols or weebshit like pic related and they just dismiss it.

Fucking bushiroad, does EVERY G4 or G-Break card need to have what stride is?

>>51062762
GX Dub cut out the last episode of Season 3 and didn't do Season 4 at all
5Ds Dub stopped when Yusei beat Aporia and cut out the entire last arc (the dub doesn't show the Ark Cradle appearing in the sky after Yusei wins, so at least they didn't just make it a complete cliffhanger)
Zexal Dub aired in it's entirety due to the fact that Konami was pissed at that point and IIRC mandated that if 4Kids was going to dub any more Yu-Gi-Oh series, they had to dub the entire thing.

>>51063063
ZeXal was the first series dubbed after Konami bought out 4Kids and turned them into 4K Media.

Because Konami is their literal overlord, they have to dub the entirety of any YGO series.

>>51063058
Stride text is a real fucking issue though I think having a uniform icon system isn't THAT bad.

>>51063054
While powercreep is an issue like in every game, all of the "gimmicks" like legion are still relevant. Strides balanced out the game and the Fighters Collection boosters gave every clan essential cards to stay in relevancy. I'd say that the game is relatively balanced outside of the stupidly overhyped builds. It's essentially YGO

>>51063105
If that's the case, why didn't they make them finish 5Ds and GX?

>>51062937
>when one of the main skills is being able to count cards
That's true for pretty much every card game though. And the only reason it matters so much in Vanguard is because each deck is full of random fucking triggers.

And don't tell me it's not random just because you can deduce the chance/risk.

>>51063147
You can see the drive checks. You essentially know your opponent's entire hand by turn 3 or 4. The point is that you have to determine how your opponent is going to guard and which rear guards they aren't willing to lose. The hand is also YGO's backrow.

>>51063107
I'm all for symbols, they're much better than "counterblast one: flip one face up damage from your damage zone face down", but people who don't know the game just see it as a mess.

>mfw /tg/ hates YGO so much their attempt to start a YGO general turns into Vanguard discussion

This is why we don't have a YGO general.

>>51063107
>It's essentially YGO.
What's the turn over on decks? CFV has been out for a fraction of YGO's run, so it having roughly the same amount of power creep in significantly less time speaks volumes of poor handling of the game.

>>51063140
Because...I don't know.

>>51063218
People don't "see it" as a mess, it IS a mess.

>>51063218
That was definitely my barrier to entry at the start. It's why I think one of the best things to do when learning is to have the manual open while watching one of the decent amount of tutorial episodes in every season.
G Next episode 2 is a great one in my opinion.

>>51063241
What do you mean by turn over on decks? If it means how fast decks become outdated, then I don't think it's that fast since most new tricks were capable of being teched in to older decks without losing steam. Only difference would be gimmick-specific support that isn't mandatory

>tl;dr: no need for complete deck overhauls at each stage
