Also, for comedy value, The OCG banlist update. Yeah, Artifact Scythe to one, that'll do it.

Lol, the quarter century alt art that Bagooska gets in Japan is just the censored art.

I wonder how much play Gordion Schneider will actually see. On one hand, its cost is pretty ridiculous. On another, it has that sweet and alluring "card and effect can't be negated" clause. On a third hand suspended from the second one, if the card does become a staple, people will start preparing their decks for it and there are so many ways you can still make this card whiff despite it being not negatable (drop an Artifact Lancea and they can't bounce because they can't pay the banish cost, rip off their hand in the same chain forcing them to get rid of the Extra Deck, remove the cards from the field in the same chain yourself the opponent will still have to pay for the number they designated as cost, play Forbidden Lance to make the opponent pay for a card they can't bounce, etc.).

the big issue is that while it can't be negated it can still be chained too, and it also doesn't negate the effects. So there are likely simpler ways around it. Including something as banal as targeting protection, and effects that change the effect on resolution (Dark World, Abyss Actor and Centur-ion have such effects)

Huh. Didn't expect Diabell to end just like that. Felt a lot shorter than the branded lore.

It’s possible they’re going back to eight core sets per Series; the next one announced has “Duelist” in its name, which usually denoted the start of a series.

I mean the reason it feels shorter is because it is literally is a full year shorter than the Albaz storyline, yeah

Also felt shorter than Visas lore.

Maybe it wasn't three consecutive tier zero archetypes, that might have helped.

yeah instead it was one that somehow lasted as long as the three tier zero formats

the rest of the TCG World Premieres are here, giving a nice boost to Vendread and Myutants!

As a Myutant fan who still plays them to this day on MD, I am thrilled with the indirect support.

I'm so ready to run D.D. Post in an obnoxious banish mill Necroface looping deck.

Diabell lore might feel short, but at least there's an obvious plot line and conclusion.

Meanwhile, Visas lore is just full of "???????" especially with its abrupt end....

I still believe (and I won't be surprised if this is actually what happened) that the reason they cut Visas lore short is because some higher-ups are mad that the lore brought up long-lasting tier 0 things like Kashtira and Tearlaments that did negatively affect sales of newer products. That's why the last thing we see happening on the lore is Visas being forced by a higher being to New Game+ his journey. It represents the R&D department basically having to redo their card designs from scratch to prevent Kash and Tear from happening again.

We get our first peek of what to expect of Justice Hunters!

Dragon Fusion archtype in Dragon Tale

Light Beast Synchro archtype in Yummy

A seemingly Beast Warrior archtype in K9

K9 is Xyz, btw.
I wonder when we'll get an actual pure Pendulum archetype again in DBP.

Yummy is definitely meant to be more support for Ruka/Luna's deck, since Yummy is specifically a LIGHT Beast Synchro deck.
