>Is Heroes expensive to make?
Yes, and it'll always be because they keep printing support for it and they know HOMO tards will buy it even if its terrible.
>Does it do semi okay in the new meta?
No, it can't play under fuwalos because your first endboard piece comes out after 6 or so summons. Its chokepoints are a lot more obvious now, since miracle ejector traded a bunch of bricks for just 1, so denying them access to polymerization with handtraps is all you have to do to completely turnskip them.
>Miracle Ejector feels kinda meh to me imo.
It's literally their best card now.
>>

I'm trying to remember a card but can't find it. It basically allowed you to donate a monster to an opponent, and stopped monsters you own but don't control from damaging you. I think it was a spell, but I'm not 100% on that.
>>
>>
>>
>>97909739
Hell no. DUDE was effectively the equivalent of paying 40 bucks (more after secondary markup) for handtraps. It doesn't matter that Konami's product pool wasn't flooded with Ash Blossoms yet, the card was only in the $15 range in 2019 since the Salamangreat structure deck was recent.

Talismandra can be summoned off of jasmine/lonefire and it searches habakiri. It doesn't let you summon from the extra deck as long as it's face up on the field, but the ragnaraika links let you shuffle it back into the deck to summon themselves from grave, so that's not an issue.
It's a garnet like mirror, but it's absolutely worth it considering you're playing a "fun" deck anyway.
Lonefire is a very strong normal summon much like aramasa, and it doesn't interfere with skeletal soldier's lock in the slightest, so maxing it out was a very wise choice. Like i've said before, aramasa as a normal summon shines more in decks that don't have xenophobic locks, but i would still run at least 1 copy of it, since you won't always draw your ragnaraika starters, and it can be tossed to summon seed if you draw both.
Ritual can be cut to 1, it's not as crucial in this deck since the main goal is summoning evil seed and then bridging to ragnaraika through jasmine or pre-preparation.
I see the idea behind lonefire, evil seed, wicked butterfly and bloom at 3, but you only really need 1 butterfly (to banish off of seed, so you can get 2-3 draws in the end phase) and 2-3 bloom. 2 of each is also an acceptable ratio.
Samurai monk can be resummoned with bloom, so you don't need more than 1 copy.
Armored lizard is not needed at all, both of your engines provide plenty of bodies already, but even if i was hurting for a extender, i would rather run rikka princess since it's plants what this deck lacks.
I don't like wisteria at all, but if you think it has a use in the deck, feel free to run it.
I don't see the need for lilly and cross, you already have 2 negates and neither requires you to keep lilly on the field.
I'm not sure what loci and healer are doing there.

You're only really missing benghalancer as far as RIP endboard pieces go, but he wouldn't really work in your build. He technically doesn't work in mine either, but i run 3 skeletal soldier to convert leftover bodies into plants, and then i keep link climbing with it because he can banish the two skeletal soldiers and/or jasmine to summon itself from grave.
Photon lord, dugares, s:p, i:p and dyna mondo are standard mitsurugi toolbox cards, so maybe you could add one of each.
I don't know how popular lunalight is at your locals, but i see it often at mine and thus i run gorgon to deal with it. She's a $20 card though, but luckily mitsurugi can just run wousu to tribute it.
Also why are you running a branded fusion?

Legendary Modern Decks 2026 is the best product for new or returning players with some returns for long term players, Duel Devastator was a solid product for its era for new players but was too weak for longer term players, and the Salamangreat Structure was alright for new players but good for the long term players.
I'd say Legendary and Salamangreat are compreting for 1st, with Duel Devastator being solid but in third.

Can someone explain why Reasoning's mill effect is good?
I can understand the free summon part, but unless the monster is sent to the graveyard too all the cards you milled will be spells traps, which isn't as good as filling up the GY with monsters.
>>
>>97915497
Because it's free GY setup and potentially free body on a non-OPT effect.
Put the card in Runick and you mill your entire deck in one rip.
Put the card in Sky Striker and you're able to dig any spell/trap out of your GY with Kagari, then put them back in your deck with Lemnisgate.
Put it in Paleo and you crap out pretty much every card in your deck, to be duped with Transaction Rollback.
Any of the Ishizu Shufflers are valid targets for its summon, and regardless of where they end up when the card resolves, they put card back in your deck.
Suppose you're on a Synchro-heavy deck. Obviously you would be going for it for the body rather than the mills. Statistically speaking, there should be a good chance that you get a successful summon as long as all your monsters aren't the same level.
Suppose it's an Xyz-heavy deck. It's a strong opener if your opponent doesn't know what you're running, or if it's a deck like Sharks where they have level 5 monsters that can be treated as level 4 material.
Now, suppose it's legal at 3 copies.

Comes with new support for lunalight, odd-eyes and speedroid. The lunalight monster sounds kind of mediocre, but odd-eyes got electrumite while speedroid got circular.
3 full decks + staples like the previous product in this line, and they might reprint the dominus cards here because those only being reprinted in collector's and up in RA05 was suspicious. Also if we don't get a banlist in june/july for some reason, and the lunalight deck comes out WITHOUT bagooska, then it's guaranteed he'll be banned.
>>
>>
>>97918322
TCG doesn't like "crutch" cards, the baronne and borreload savage ban was motivated by the fact that after the RA reprints they were now freely available to everyone, and thus people could pivot to them or bagooska when handtrapped. The card didn't get banned last year only because ryzeal was using it.

Clown clan, at least the first wave, will be low rarity in this side of the world. The face of the deck is either super or common, i'm leaning more towards super, they wouldn't have advertised it otherwise.

>>97918438
Playtest them digitally on something like EDOpro until I like my build and then buy the singles off of TCGplayer.
I almost never buy sealed because the pull rates are terrible.
>Assume an archetype needs 3x of it's starter, which is an SE. Or in the case of deckbuild sets, URs.
>Core set boxes contain 2 SEs and DBP/DBS contain 3 UR per box.
Meaning it's impossible or extremely unlikely to pull the cards you want if you were to attempt to build via sealed. And keep in mind that's just one of the playsets, if you have a 2nd high rarity card you need then you're double SOL.
>why doesn't the TCG have more structure decks but with more playable ratios?
The obvious first thing is because KoA is running the show for the TCG products and kevin jewrat said fuck you eat shit. The man is single handedly responsible for just about every shitty thing in the TCG.
Besides that, SDs lists are made in such a way that you're intended to buy 3 of them as they're mostly singleton and the tradeoff is that they're very cheap. So the cost of 3 is similar to other games' in the end.
The recent legenday modern decks are an improvement on this specific point and we'll see if they can keep it up with the second one.
>>
>>
>>97918438
>like why doesn't TCG have more structure decks but with more playable ratios?
For starters, they already started doing that in recent structure decks and the Legendary Modern Decks.
Second, you still have the exact same problem in that you need to get more singles to make it a decent deck.

It's not a real card effect. A surprisingly(?) small number of effects in the game grant the ability to attack exactly 3 times in a turn, and none of them are on equip spells, traps, or union-like monsters.

I'd say the OCG fusion sleeves but it sounds like you don't want stuff like that.
I feel like art sleeves are extremely subjective and if you want them you'll have to do your own work here. Nobody knows what your tastes are and there's very few people that want art sleeves outside some of the official ones. Mostly because unofficial ones are trying way too hard and are big boobie coomerbait or way too specific.

What are your thoughts on TCG right now anyways. We're sorta heading in the right direction with LMD. Still not a big fan of the booster box stuff and RC05 was sorta a miss but this has to be the first time where playing Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't cost an arm and a leg and getting staples is actually viable (there's SOME retarded shit that's still expensive as fuck)
What are some better improvements they can make? Do you think with the extended art set that yugioh will go through a reconnaissance or are we still doomed? (I'll be honest, all my locals scrubbed YGO for One Piece and Gundam because of lack of popularity....)

Also, all the full arts are the PROMOS ocg was getting for free, meanwhile we have to pray to god we get one in a case, and that's for the URs, the Secrets are a fucking legend even rarer than the ocg serialized cards. You're actually missing a brain if you think rarity V is a good set in any way and is not just pushing the physical game into the abyss even faster than it was already going.
>>
>>97931367
>bloating an already bloated set
The single slot per pack has an entirely seperate pool that does not interact with pulling the cards from the main pool.
>one per case
Stopped reading there. You don't know how the product is structured. The the average is 4 per case.
I'm not defending the set, I'm saying your info is wrong. Don't talk about shit you don't know anything about.
That said, the full art quantity still sucks especially with the lack of the bonus pack but how about you post about that rather than make a retarded first post and have the info actually be correct.

How about people opening an entire case at my locals and we pulled 4 in total (one of which I opened), several videos online of people opening cases that support that average, or other posts on something like r*ddit that you can find from taking 10 seconds to google "rarity collection 5 overframe pull rates per case" saying 4 to 6 average.
Not touching the UR/STAR ratios because the OCG GMR stuff is a completely seperate ballpark to compare and the bonus pack is a fixed rarity. Being STARs though, 1 per every other case was the old ratio before so nothing new to say there. There could be more I guess but I don't concern myself with it to have an opinion on STAR ratios.
>EU
Then this is an EU problem then of them fucking up the product. The average here in the US has been about 4.
>>97931519
Read the last part of my post again. I said I'm not happy with how low the overframe quantities are either, 4 per case avg is not great. Without a doubt I would much rather see 1 per box.
My point is that they're throwing around garbage info that's wrong or at least incomplete.

OCG's rarity system, i'm gonna use fydraulis harmonia as an example. It came out in three different rarities, with the lowest one being secret, so it was a fairly expensive card by OCG's standards. It sat at $15 for a while, but finally settled on $20 after elfnote got regina and people figured out that you could use the card even in decks that had nothing to do with synchros, like K9. They complained about the card being prohibitively expensive for many, because $60 for a playset of a staple hadn't been a thing since ash blossom, do you know how laughable that sounded to a TCG cuck like me? By the time ash blossom had been reprinted for like the tenth time in the traptrix structure, it was still worth nearly 10 fucking dollars, even though this was her third common print.
By using OCG's system, you actually IMPROVE the market somewhat, because the people that just want to play some fucking yugioh will go for the lowest rarity possible (which won't be as cheap as OCG, but still), generating a lot of sales for everyone, while the whales/show-offs will always rarity max, which mostly benefits third party sellers, but KONMAI still gets to fill its pockets from all the boxes they're selling due to rarity chasing.
There's literally no reason to not give this system a try for at least a couple sets besides jewart and jewrome flat out not wanting to show the goyim the slightest bit of mercy.
>>
>>97936277
People keep blaming Tewart or Jerome when its the OCG that decides the rarity spreads for the TCG. They know that the TCG isn't nearly as profitable as the OCG. They have to make product that appeals to vendors. A lot of modern sets are considered worthless because they don't contain high rarity chase cards. Locals have to make money, so when the newest set comes out and no one is buying because nothing is worth it, they end up losing money and eventually drop the game.
>>
>>97936309
>>They have to make products that appeal to vendors
If that were even half-true then the pull rates wouldn't be half as bad as they are and our reprint policy would be significantly worse so that sets hold value for longer. The problem that VENDORS have with this game is that they, themselves, are gambling on the sets, since it's either the case that they get dogshit like Blazing Vortex where they have to spend hundreds on paperweights if they don't want to get cut off (as they are obligated to purchase every single set if they're OTS stores), or whatever hot new set they're toting become paperweights as soon as the first banlist or reprint wave comes out to completely invalidate everything within that set.
Kevin Tewart is the head of R&D and he is directly responsible for fucking up the rarities in the west, which helps nobody. You cannot call him blameless. Players do not have faith in the idea of opening boosters to get what they need, Vendors sell fewer boosters and lose out on money, Konami makes less money because the vendors are selling fewer boosters, and ultimately the shops just stop selling yugioh shit because interest dries up. It's a vicious cycle and one that people see unfolding in real time.
>>
>>
>>
The problem too is vendors are not hosting yugioh anymore because no cash prizes (i mean it is what it is, not saying it's a bad thing and it's quite honorable for them to keep up a dead man's word. you'd think they would pachinko it desu lol), thuggery scene back in 2000-2010s didn't help, yugioh too complicated for the normie mind to take (honestly, it's not even that bad - the biggest problem is that yugioh is very easy to make illegal plays all the time and it's more about knowing when your opponent does some bullshit which you won't if you're new, but since this is an autistic hobby, most people will try to cheat as much as they can), no fun chase cards, no fun products, censorship out the wahoo (who are you even catering to? normies aren't going to buy DMG)
>>
>>97909090
Heard about Time Wizard format and sounds cool. Do they still make any boosters reprinting old cards for certain formats or is this just a go find it among the piles in your local card shop project. I miss opening packs like a gambling addict.

I'm new to the game and I was thinking of getting Heroes. I was looking at the deck list and I can probably get this for around $200-250 CDN but I can't tell if that's a bad investment. Is it at least decent for locals or will I get smashed with the new TCG meta?

Loling and lmaoing at the Elfnotefag who was saying the KT stuff was going to be SE.
Harmonia being SE was expected and I'm gonna guess it will settle at around $80. Might go less assuming people rip open a bunch of the set because it does have a lot of big things in it. Also the wealthy furries chasing fairy tails.

Is this a good card? Honestly I was wow overframe, but did not realize it‘s an starlight rare. I am just collecting these cards btw.
>>
>>97942772
>Is this a good card?
In what sense?
It's a Dominus card so it is good on that merit, but it is not as good as Dominus Impulse since Purge hits DARK and FIRE monsters (the former being one of the most common attributes in the game and the latter being Ash Blossom's attribute). Impulse has a different activation condition, but it also hits slightly-less-common LIGHT monsters and no other important attributes in most decks. So from a gameplay standpoint, Impulse is slightly better than Pulse which has a harder time being slotted into decks on a generic basis.
If you're talking about it money-wise, that card is worth about 50 burgerbucks, which gets you 9 big macs in burgerland. In Germany, this would only get you about 5 big macs. No sides or drink for either.

It's a good card effect but the homes for it are limited because of the written restriction. Let me put it this way, if your deck is unaffected by the restriction then it's among the top cards you could consider for your non-engine slots. If your deck does not mesh with the restriction then it's "bad" because locking yourself out of a bunch of your effects is obviously bad. Ash Blossom being one of the best cards in the game also conflicts with this card.
In terms of price the card is worth a decent amount too.

Alright Gents, I need to open a Pharoahs Servant and one of the original 3 packs to add to my deck. Which would you recommend for my deck? I'm 4-3 at work

OCG Rarity system won't matter unless we finally clean up the stupid 6 month delay and get things releasing at the same time. That delay means people barely think about the just released sets vs the upcoming sets unless something really crazy is happening.

Really depends what you mean by that. But if we're going off of something like the number of banned cards for the longest time it was XYZ but Link has overtaken it in recent years.
It makes some sense because konami made a bunch of overtuned XYZs because they've always been deemed "harder" to make (though we always find a way to easily make them) and for some reason thry have a bunch of turnskip-like effects like S0, VFD, kali, azathot, etc.
Links overtook them because they were far simpler to decks and thus easier for decks to make. Just find something else that bridges the gap in materials and you can include it into your endboard. IE Closed moon leading to fiendsmith lines, halq-selene-accesscode/apo, halq in general, etc. Just generally a lot of card advantage as well.
If we're talking """vibes""" then likely synchro. It's always kind of around in formats no matter what else is going on.

Same. What have you picked up recently? I'm thinking of getting this cutie since TCG only has 2 (TWO) total alt arts for some reason.
Also bought my first 20th Anniversary Rare recently. Ms. Ghost Reaper.

I see, thanks. here's a banlist of extra deck cards. I think you're right
>>
>>97946704
The sheer numbers tell you that, but the majority of the banned Xyz Monsters are cards that directly prevent your opponent from playing the game (Utopic ZEXAL, Shockmaster, Abyss Dweller, Rhongo, VFD, Pair-a-Dice Smasher, etc).
On the other hand, a good chunk of those link monsters could come off the list today, and it would have a relatively low impact on the game after things normalized. Knightmare Goblin could've come off as early as 2020, Mermaid doesn't do anything that most decks these days don't already do, and you have cases like SHS Scarecrow and Prank Kids Meow-Meow Mu that got put on the list for seemingly no reason. Electrumite and Isolde could also come off, and Curious was only hit because of Tearlaments (about a quarter of a year? after their builds phased it out). Auroradon was also pretty much just on the list because of Halq.
Common factor with the link monsters btw? All of the ones I listed are legal at 3 copies in the OCG, with the sole exception of Knightmare Mermaid who is also Forbidden. None of the decks for the others are doing jack, though.

i'd sell it and buy 3 ultras for $40-ish (if you actually need them), not sure how let's say "diverse" your locals is, but 2 starlight overframe mirrorjades got stolen this week, one was finessed inside the store and the other was culturally enriched in the parking lot by a melanated astronaut

Thanks for repeating basically what I said, however I don't think that excuses/disqualifies the cards to the topic.
>XYZs
Even if you cut 8 of the 19 XYZs for being turnskips/floodgates that still about double to synchro and more so if you exclude synchros of the same category. Also I think the cards specifically in that category meets what OP asked originally. I think it's fair to say that the most dominant way to play is to not let your opponent and play at all.
>Links
>The OCG
You're correct that some of these are legal in OCG and technically could come off in TCG but there's more at play here and why they shouldn't.
Something you might not realize the effect of is that a lot of the cards off the OCG banlist are dictating what designs are being made and then in the TCG you perceive them as not a problem. Like they aren't making warrior archetypes for isolde to abuse because they're, intentionally or not, designing around isolde. But if they were to make something like a low level warrior starter for a decent deck what do you think will happen? You kind of have to look a layer deeper.
IMO these cards are limiting card design by not being banned and would be better off banned. They're cards on the edge of being broken if konami makes a mistake or intentionally makes one that interacts with it.
>SHS scarecrow
The OCG has 2 SHS hits in other places to make up for it. I think it might be able to come back but I'll be honest I don't think I want to spend a format finding out especially with Harmonia entering the format and the synchro piles that could lead to.
>Curious
This card is extremely unassuming even outside Tear. If you think Beatrice and Chaos ruler is rightfully banned then this is just another suspect. The materials are not a problem if you really want it.
The rest I can give you, they likely won't upset too much. Though you're somewhat incorrect about electramite, and that card is rightfully at 1 due to the OPT issues.

Unlikely given that they've already show us cards for main/side sets. They would have shown them off for those decks if they were intending to make them into a SD. It might change for the TCG but I wouldn't bet on it.

Are you by chance the canadian anon that's SOL when it comes to buying cards and making your own deck?
If so,I truly and honestly think your experience will improve once you have your own deck and spend some time practicing with it. I'm willing to help you get a real deck as in purchase all the cards and send you it.
>>
>>97949642
That's probably me but it's kewlie-yo, I ended up with a sick Branded Deck and Heroes deck incoming once I checked the stores around me. Thinking about building GMX Dinos next. I'll pass the offer to that magistus though. Magistus is a based deck.

Canada. There's some other locals here but I heard the competition....is rough. I mean nothing against playing the best of the best but dang bro I just want to get into the game not feel like I'm fighting for every inch of my life with every draw.

>TCaC
>Give Red Blossoms a proper archetype.
this was actually really difficult, and im not sure i really got the playstyle exactly where i would like it but i had two main goals with this set of customs:
>somehow let you use the traps when going second
>make Red Blossoms' GY tagout effect a proactive gameplan
and in that respect i think these turned out decent, but it really is a glacially slow control strat that absolutely dumpsters banish strategies in particular.

i thought about that but i wanted the extra deck guys to only be able to be summoned opt from extra but you could revive them as much as you wanted with Red Blossoms, the compromise i settled on was giving them "Must First" built-in summons that are hard opt. putting the card as a material under the xyz one specifically seemed like a break in flavor, as well as potentially getting your continuous trap stuck under it if it got booked on summon.

Other than Facebook Marketplace and Ebay are there any other places to get cool sleeves? I'm thinking of paying top dollar for manamoons but they're a bit too....girly and I'm definitely not cool enough to play that ironically.

https://www.yourplaymat.com/products/custom-card-sleeves
Dragonshield also makes custom sleeves, but they're more expensive, they'll always have a white border and they're probably picky about what they'll put on a sleeve.
There's also custom sleeves on Amazon, but the last time I got some, for a irl shitpost, they quality was shit.
>>
>>97953944
thanks! I'm not artistic enough for customs but yeah I know DS has heavy like no copyright material or whatever. I saw some cool chinese ones online but fuck paying $30+ for stuff you know takes like $0.05 to make feels bad.
>>
>>97953954
Yourplaymat is a bit too expensive, but they do give you more options on what you can get on the sleeve. I have some that I got like maybe 5 years ago and the quality was good at the time. Don't know if anything has changed since then.
