...Good question. It's humanoid with wings, that's normally fairy.

Also; I came dead last and they had no OTS packs for entry. Ah well.

That's rough. Counter Fairies are fun and pretty but so inconsistent.

I guess Veiler's wings or just some sort of fancy liquid scarf? Or maybe they realized they already made two Fairy handtraps and wanted Veiler to be a different type?

But wasn't Veiler one of the first hand traps?

Slightly odd question: do any of the online dueling simulations have cards that are announced in full but not released yet?

Then Honest was introduced in GX, then a Watapon handtrap retrain was introduced (I think it was either Crossroads of Chaos or Crimson Crisis). Hence my fairy comment.

[up][up][up] Depends of the Ygopro versions. Dawn of a new era seems awfully slow to update anything unless I missed a button to update (they still don't have the new banlist dammit). Devpro and percy seem to be faster to update, especially percy, although, the new cards are often bugged and need some reporting on their discord (seraphic dragon was a mess when it was introduced, for example.)

Why is BLS Envoy of the Beginning is unlimited while Dark Armed Dragon is limited? I think BLS has better level (suitable for Trade-In) and effect. Is a Light x Dark deck that hard to assemble? Do they fear Dark Armed spam with Rank 7 play?

edit : misread the post. I'd like the explanation myself actually. But my guess would be that they unlimited bls recently as a test to see whether or not it would impact the meta, and DAD will follow on one the next banlists since he didn't really do anything (well, someone topped a huge event with him, but that's about it, and it was because he was some kind of unexpected tech, which puts him on aqua dolphin's level)

DAD's first semi-limit caused a huge change in the OCG with Shaddolls. They limited it one list later. Also, Dark milling is still a huge thing right now, so DAD would easily be more effective than BLS, which is really hard to setup(though was somewhat easier with the old Future Fusion along with Construct's existence, but... that's not the case anymore, mostly in the TCG anyway).

It could move up, but they're more fearful of it since it was actually shown it's a better card in the long run.

Bought a couple Dark Saviors packs and pulled 2 different Sky Striker Links and their Main Deck monster. Also got 2 copies of Hornet Drones and a copy of Afterburners.

Yeah.

Also, I found two Super Rare copies of Lycoris in my blasphemously unorganized card collection.

Time to become a meta sheep.

So random question: are pure Sky Strikers good? If so, what would a Deck for it look like?

I think the heart of my animus toward links is due to my nature - I was more inclined to the chaotic, id laced plays prior as opposed to the skilled, orderly plays prioritizing placement and the precise choice of steps to make a good board.

The game is faster and stronger yes, but too...orderly.

To use a certain reference, I'm a Chaos aligned man playstyle wise, and this game trends too much toward structure and coherence.

Basically, those multiple xyz, synchro and fusion turn one plays everyone else derided? I loved the ferocity and untamed nature of it.

[up][up]Pure sky striker is meta right now, just not as much than the trickstar variant.

Strictly no idea of what it looks like but since it tops events I'm fairly confident you can find good decklists to take inspiration from.

Some fun new stuff showing up.

Mayakashi, which seem to be Shiranui 2: Zombie Harder. Presumably they'll get a level 11 Synchro.

Prankids (plus another fusion) is a Link/Fusion archetype that floods the field when they're used as material.

And Nephthys is now a Ritual Fire Kings archetype.

So the new Thunder Dragon monsters have effects for when they're banished. And they're LIGHT and DARK monsters.

Thunder Dragon DAD, anyone? Or Thunder Dragon BLS?
