Alright fine. I'll keep my little pocket universe of happiness intact. I'll never touch it again, but they will live on in spirit.

And now I gotta go, much as I hate love leaving Harriet in the lurch.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

pyramid of light it looks like

...what is the purpose of this monster

is it tribute fodder?

is it a minor defense fodder?

It was the third giveaway card for the Pyramid of Light movie.

The first being Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, the second being Sorcerer of Dark Magic, and the fourth being the actual Pyramid of Light. (Of them all, only Blue-Eyes had shininess.)

[up]I honestly have no clue. Though, if GX was any indication Yugi kept it after the original series. Why is a mystery for the ages.

i feel cheated when it came to yugi in gx

not once did we get to see older yugi's whole face even though i'm positive he basically turned into yami

and jaden gets a good duel against the younger yugi

and then yami comes in and cheats his way to all the egyptian god cards or something

but what about OLDER YUGI

i wanted to see older yugi properly goddammit

you can get a ohko if you summon both the sphinx monsters, attack with them, destroy the pyramid, summon the super sphinx through its convoluted-ass summoning condition, all of this assuming you have no sort of defenses in your way

basically its terrible and impractical, but so is every play they make in the anime so its pretty fitting

I never understood how Yugi would be fine with leaving his deck on display in Duel Academy for years.

Even after it got stolen once.

[up]Oh, god, the sheer impracticality of so many plays. Especially in the second half of 5D's.

also the whole game can be broken easily if you just use a mill deck like every other motherfucker out there

fucking mill decks

I spam buffs because I am not a bad sport.

I usually lose as a result.

Fuck mill decks.

Magic is superior game because the community isn't filled with people that will mill you to death

i remember trying to keep up with 5D's after stumbling after and trying to understand what went on in the tail end of GX

at some point i just lost track entirely

i didn't bother keeping up with the changes to the system until 11th grade or something where i had a brief resurgence of yugioh and got tuner and synchro monsters

all this yugioh talk is reminding me of the GX gba game and the cheap ways i could lose a duel

[up]what is a mill deck

is it similar to a stall deck

If mill decks are any measure of card game goodness.

Then Hearthstone is the best of them all.

Because mill decks are trash in it.

Mill decks beat their opponents by making them overdraw their whole deck and piss away all their cards. At least in Hearthstone that's how it works.

It's a stall deck but with a twist.

Basically what happens in 5Ds is that there's this blond guy that's being manipulated by this guy with long white hair in this futuristic cyberpunk city and they ride motorcycles and wait a fucking second.

[up][up]yeah

One of the automatic lose conditions in Yu Gi Oh is if it's your turn and you therefore draw a card at the start of it, if there are no more cards to draw then you lose by default, and since decks only have 40 cards in them (60 in some forgiving places but usually 40) it's really, really easy to make that happen.

40 cards?

Geez so many.

I'm used to a mere, piddly 30.

oh god

i vaguely remember playing a guy that had a deck similar to that

i never lasted very long because it eventually reached a point where he pierced my defense or subjected me to that

my deck was very outdated so that clearly must have been the main issue

actually the meta game for a very has just been

special summon a billion monsters at once, overwhelm the opponent with sheer offensive force before they do the same to you

mill is borderline suicidal now because of all the cards that give off effects when they go to the graveyard, or can be used from the graveyard

WonderSquid Since: May, 2012
#464766: Nov 14th 2015 at 11:11:53 PM

Yeah but since you draw a card at the start of every turn (not counting additional "draw X cards" effects, which mill decks also have) it means you run out fast if you're being milled.

Handy if you're running Exodia, I guess, but nobody runs Exodia because it's one of those convoluted "awesome in the anime, but impractical in the actual game" setups.

[up]haha wow

well, can't say i'm sad i jumped ship then

is that that "synchro-summon" crap?

@Spazzer: Have you seen the Performages and Pals deck? A bunch of monsters summoned in one turn. Seto Kaiba is real proud at these plays. And they're the dominant deck of the meta game.

Actually that's the same as how hearthstone works. As in, with card draw.

If you just straight up run out of cards in that you lose, that's actually kind of nuts.

The way I'm used to running out of cards is.

When you don't have cards to draw, you draw 1 damage that goes right to your face. Then the next time you draw, you take 2 and it just keeps going up by 1 every time.

Which means milling is kind of hard because it's not an instakill.

Though if you're a mill deck and you make the other guy take fatigue damage, you're in a really good spot.

I personally hate mill decks because they're good against the deck archetypes I like i.e. greedy control decks.

What am I doing rambling about this I'm the only one who plays this game here.

I tried to install Hearthstone four times and each time the damn thing said the server was unavailable. I did try.

Also can I get an opinion on something

[up]oh my god what

@Spazzer: Well, it's good that you've stopped. I'm not a huge fan of the meta at all. In fact, I love the artwork of the cards and lore more.

@Tats: My nerdish-ness is pretty deep. I obsessed over a Rockman 4 rom hack and an obscure subtitled abridged series for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I'm sure I even created the pages for both things. Go look up Rockman 4: Minus Infinity and Vaguely Recalling Jojo.
