Attention Duelists! This is the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG/OCG Thread!

I think Sylvans are different enough (even if it's not in artwork) to warrant being their own thing, and sticking all those Sylvans into the Naturia archetype would have made it oversized(not that there aren't already oversized archetypes but most of those are cards nobody ever wants to use anyway.)

Stellaknights separately exist because Konami have another kink when the dragons aren't doing it for them, Rank 4 LIGHT spam. (At least Noble Knights have some DAR Ks to fit more into Chaos though...speaking of Chaos, it kind of bothers me how much better Chaos Dragon is than anything else going for Chaos.)

I would have run it and a billion draw cards when I had to go on a losing streak for fast EXP for card covers on DN.

Instead I had to deal with people spending 20 minutes or more doing their OT Ks or actually thinking their moves over when I literally declared that I would let them win and did ridiculously stupid moves on purpose(along with using a 60 card deck with no synergy.) I couldn't just spam the Admit Defeat button because that's against the DN rules and i'm too paranoid of getting caught.

, , He even shares a name with totally-not-Weevil in another card game anime.

how do you guys even remember things like weevil throwing out exodia from the boat(although I got the reference as soon as someone else mentioned stealing cards and yuya not being on a boat too...)

MMORPGs are serious business.

I...honestly don't know how I remember that. I mean, I'd say the abridged series, but I haven't seen that episode in years. I'm just really good at remembering random crap that will never come in useful, I guess.

Also, speaking of rank 4 LIGHT spam...is it weird that Star Seraphs are one of the decks I'm expecting to hate most after DUEA?

Weird the first ARC-V set is continuing some ZEXAL archetypes.

The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."

What, is Weevil tossing Exodia supposed to be hard to remember? I don't think I've forgotten that since I watched the original broadcast in Australia about 12 years ago.

Watching Arc V episode 2 now - 'He shouldn't be able to summon high-level monsters without releasing' HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA you idiot.

The naivety of Anime!Yugioh People is almost endearing.

So it seems they called Pendulum Summoning cheating because you need specific cards rather than because Yuya can transform his own cards with magic. I wonder if they'd start screaming OMG UNFAIR HAXCHEATS if Yuya did a fucking ritual summon because that requires specific spell cards.

The stupidity of Anime!Yugioh people is... stupid.

To be fair, they probably know what ritual spells are, while the pendulum cards look completely out of place. I mean, if you heard that I beat the winner of last year's World Championship, only for me to show you that I used this◊ to do so, you'd probably call BS too. Basically...I think it's meant to be less that you need specific cards...and more that they're specific cards that shouldn't actually exist.

Also, I find it amusing that Strong, the guy who just special summoned 2 level 5s from his hand in the previous episode is the one complaining about summoning high level monsters without tributes.

Yeah, but the way they worded it doesn't seem that way. And it seems weird that they accept a new summoning method, but not a new card type.

Well, they did go on to claim he must've hacked Strong's duel disk to not register the pendulum summon as cheating.

Burn up, hurricane of justice!

Yeah, but until then they seemed to have no problem with it.

In-universe acknowledgement that YGO protagonists have Deus ex Machina firmly on their side? That's hilarious.

The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."

Clearly the problem is that in the Yugiverse, duelists having special abilities is acceptable, but only if any new cards they create conform to the rules of the game.

You'll be happy to know that the new Star Seraphs will not be in the TCG Duelist Advent, unless Konami has changed their numbering scheme. Like everything I like, it's staying OCG-exclusive for way longer than I would like.

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.

There's YGO Pro to play certain cards, but you knew that already.

Would change my user name but... Idk.

No, Plumbum. I won't be happy to know that. As I am one of the many people here who mostly plays online.

I was thinking of collecting Dragons of Legend boosters until I realised it's one of those all shiny rare sets. I'm not fond of those because less cards and I don't actually like shiny cards - they bend (even when in the sleeves I bought) and often look worse than non-shiny cards.

Do they not have TCG-only formats on DN/Devpro? I appreciate the latter can be a little slow to update on releases (I want my Tri-Edge Levia!) but there's no you have no decks that aren't irreparably attached to OCG cards.

As for shininess - it depends. Some cards look terrible in shiny (especially American prints - they seem to use a different holofoil to European prints and it's awful. In evidence I'd submit my Astral Pack Terraforming, but I don't have a European one to compare.) That said, Super, Ultra and Secret Rares generally look nice, Gold Rares are some of the prettiest cards I have seen (Swords of Revealing Light could fool you that it's actually metal) and Ultimates have some pretty as hell cards too like Number C101 or Wattchimera.

I love my gold rare Test Tiger, Enemy Controller, Armed Wing, Armor Master.

They can't for the life of them understand why nobody liked being ruled by a group of manic depressive demigods - 4chan

Okay i've posted a possibility for how Hermos and Critias would be printed. The summary is:

• The Pack with Hermos would get Armor cards and the pack with Critias would have FIRE and Machine support from Alistair's decks
• The 2nd and 3rd layers of the seal, as well as certian cards from the next filler arc (Grand Championship) would also be likely printed.
• GX has a well of anime/manga card that have yet to be defictionalized. I cited the HER Oes (Vision Heores in particular) Cyber Angels and Arcana Force monsters
• For 5Ds there's a chance of the Fortune Faeries and Dragons (Dracoasencion, Dracocytus and Cosmic Blazar Dragon)
• For ZEXAL I hypothesized two possibilities for numbers. We may get the OCG exclusive ones, but the promos are more likely than the non-promoes (Crystal Zero being an exception, maybe Fort Hyuk and Plain Coat as well depending on how longs its been since LVAL's OCG release). Or we might get defictionalized Numebrs (F0 is a likely contender) a list of number that are OCG exclusive or haven;t been defictionalized is in the link.
  • Also I think we might get two other cards based on Zexal characters (or an Orbital 7 reprint). Primarily because Princess Cologne and Lillybot have started that streak. And I also think that if we do get cards like Fort Hyuk in these packs then we might get related support (Nebra Disk in this case) The same would apply if said support was anime/mango exclusive (Using Hope Dragon and Ultimate Force as an example)
• Finally the last dragon's pack would have the Knight of Destiny.
• Also I decided to abbreviate Diamond Crab King as DC King because, well...

That reminds me, how long until you think Konami announces a TCG Extra Pack?

I'd still like to see more of Bastion's stuff. Either the magnet warriors or more of his youkai. And we clearly need Beelzeus, because Beelze just...isn't good enough.

Actually...is it just me or is manga!Bastion's deck kind of the opposite of what we see of anime!Bastion's decks? I mean, in the sense that in the anime, his decks seem to be all about science, but his manga deck is based on mythological creatures.

Also, I've been playing around with Entermates against the AI on YGOPro. They...are about as meh as expected. I got a fun little play off with Odd-Eyes and Scorpion, but aside from Silver Claw, Whip Viper and Sword Fish, the monsters are just...terrible. I mean, Scorpion's monster effect's good but...it's level 6, which means I need to play the Magicians to get any use out of it. Which adds more inconsistency to the deck than I'd like...

This is already a card. Now, I don't know when we in the TCG would get it, but it is already a card.

And Bastion in the Manga is still scientific and such, he just doesn't take it to the same extreme as his anime counterpart. In his duel with Jaden, he actively works to knock Jaden out fast, while locking him out of his Fusions, because he notes that the longer the duel goes on, the stronger Jaden's draws get - in effect, he recognizes that Jaden is the protagonist, and tries to compensate (and fails, but it doesn't negate that fact).

I know this was already a card. This was my speculation on likely TCG Number Hunter-esque packs and what card would possibly be in them.

Even if this deck's kinda really spammy...making a Fire King player rage quit is always nice.◊
