Card gimmicks

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 18:15:03 +0000

We all have out favorite gimmicks in yugioh. Some archetypal gimmicks are potent to the point of being meta, and others are forgotten due to time and such. So, what is your favorite and would you like Konami to one day try the gimmick again?

For me, it has to be LV monsters. I love how they get progressively stronger by achieving certain criteria and how occasionally their own effects can be quite good. Sadly the gimmick itself isn't that great due to said criteria and of course it being quite slow to set up. I do think Konami could manage to get a pretty decent archetype out of LV monsters if they put some work into it. Maybe a retrain to Horus a d an archetype surrounding that line, or something?

Fanmade Cards you would like to see in the original TCG

So there are many fanmade cards online. Are there any cards you would like to play with? Are they too strong or are they fair?

I start with this card:

Supreme King Zrains is a way too strong card in my opinion but the fact that Link Monster can also be Pendelum Monster is so good since you can special Summon from your Extra Deck in their linked Zones even when they are in the Pendelum Scale.

TCG/OCG AMA series: the banlist

Thu, 04 Jan 2018 09:09:11 +0000

Hi,

As a player of the card game on a casual level, I know it is hard to understand the card game. So I will be starting a series of threads where people can ask questions about the TCG/ OCG. Today I start with the ban list.

Why starting with the ban list? The ban list is a relic that contains the history of Yu-gi-oh and connects to all facets of the game (anime,manga, old cards, ...).

It gives a good insight in how the game evolved and in what stage it is in a compact format.

So if you have any questions about the ban list (why cards are banned, why cards are off the list, why they have appeared on that specific moment,...) feel free to ask.

Did links Kill Yu-Gi-Oh?

How many times has it been said? "This deck is killing Yugioh!". "Synchro's killed Yugioh!". "XYZ Killed Yugioh!". "Pendulums Killed Yugioh!". Seriously, has there been a methot that hasn't 'Killed Yugioh' yet? Now, I am willing to bet that if we get another methot that will also "kill Yugioh".

What is your favorite Deck/Archetype? And why?

Everyone has a playstyle in every game they play. Yugioh is no exception. And lucky for the players, there are probably an infinite amount of decks you can run. Some are Archetype focused and others are combo decks. So now I ask, what is your favorite Archetype or Deck? Be it the artwork, the playstyle or whatever. And please let us know why you like what you like.

Now, for me, it's no secret. My favorite Archetype is Six Samurai, granted I don't play it often (might get back into that deck tho, cuz even if power crept it's has a nice one spell or trap lock between Shi En and Shien). But my favorite deck is Red Dragon Archfiend

Spoiler

This is me if I was blond guys. I swear.

The main reason I love RDA is that it's a Synchro based deck, and I love Synchros. Secondly, I love the playstyle of relying on getting a Red Daemons Dragon out ASAP and either using it as your boss monster or upgrading it as you go. The effects are usually pretty damn strong (example: Tyrant) with a nice amount of support. It's a deck based on Synchro first turn and beating down your opponent as fast as you can without focusing directly on OTK's. It's not Meta, but it's extremely fun. I just hope that I can follow that up when I finally play a Topologic deck.
