For fuck's sake Yugi and Kaiba AGAIN?

Yugo and Yuri had the cards of the actual packs you're including in the tin!

Or hey, why not have Yusaku as an intro to the VRAINS era and give us cheap access to some of the Links you are fucking forcing us to play?

They did it when Synchros released! A Stardust tin, BRD tin,everything to get you what you need for the big change...

But sure, let's keep the nostalgia boner going. Who can forget the iconic scene where Kaiba used Starvenom Fusion Dragon to rekt a bunch of GX fanboys?

I mean, to be fair, SHIV and TDIL are in this so technically they also have many included. Not that I'm not unhappy about this mind you :/

I'm guessing one of the Yugi pronos is gonna be Mahad and Kaiba will get Alternative.

Please be sage instead. And yugi needs the magician circle cont spell card to be reprinted

 

[SolarKnight]

Please be sage instead.

God I hope so too. I kept waiting for that card to go down but it never did =_=

 

[Fj0823]

I swear to god, if this year's legendary collection is Yugi's World 2.0 I'll be beyond pissed.

Its Zexal's time to shine, even if the anime sucked, Galaxy cards are cool and deserve some rarity bumps ):

 

[Regiruler]

We haven't had a legendary collection since 2014.

 

[Fj0823]

We haven't had a legendary collection since 2014.

That´s because ZEXAL was "too new" to get a collection, going by a post in Pojo made by Kevin Tewart.

Considering were we are, a Zexal Collection would be a cool idea

 

[A.J.]

I hope Kaiba either comes with Sage or Twin Burst.

Edit: Also I don't know what you guys are talking about. Legacy characters being​ pushed over Arc-V charcters? These are the most anime accurate Arc-V tins yet!

 

[Kito]

I've only watched the original series so I'm not too upset over the tin themes, although, for example, I would much prefer Joey and Pegasus.

Or Marik so that we can get Ra to go with last year's Slifer and Obelisk

5D's and Arc-V are really worth a watch imo

 

[A.J.]

I'd recommend watching the first season of 5D's. It's a good self contained Yugioh story and I heard the following seasons aren't very good.. Also if you are going to watch Arc-V then just watch the first season then write fanfiction for the rest of the story. It will probably be better than what actually happens. Otherwise GX will service you better for your spin off Yugioh needs.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Its not that it's all terrible, there's just a bunch of irrelevant stuff.

This chart should help people watching past episode 64.

I approve of this message.

Regarding Zexal, here is my guide

Watch the episode introducing Shingetsu
Watch the Vector plot twist episode.
Watch the Original, GX, 5D's, Arc-V or VRAINS

There, best way to watch Zexal

Don't skip out on Yuma vs. Alito.

I went to a tournament today, primarily for an OTS pack in the hope of pulling an ultimate rare (I didn't). The matches themselves were annoying, a bunch of swarm decks and stall decks against my Dark Magician. I'll take a Toon deck next time and bypass all that shit in the way.

I've got bad news...

Also I haven't heard "swarm deck" since 2012. Takes me back.

 

[SolarKnight]

Megatins are now confirmed to have secret rare reprints of DM and BEWD...AND both have an ultra rare Pot of Desires holy fuck.

 

[Regiruler]

I still feel like the COTD leak is a hallucination.

 

[Fj0823]

I still feel like the COTD leak is a hallucination.

I think its amazing that they made a LINK-4 card that destroys all the main monster zones when you summon a monster to any linked zone...like wow what a troll card.

That said right now there's only about 4 generic link monsters that allow older decks to play...it's too little.

 

[Regiruler]

Yeah that's neat but I was talking about rock paper scissors and the new column card.

 

[Fate_Shirou]

Are the new structure decks any good? Was thinking of picking up a few for twin twisters....

 

[Wichu]

Are the new structure decks any good? Was thinking of picking up a few for twin twisters....

Yeah, they're both solid. The Dinosaur one is fairly competitive if you can find copies of Evolzar Dolkka and Evolzar Laggia (Dinosaur-specific Xyz monsters).

 

[SolarKnight]

The Dino deck is currently tier 1 when mixed with True Kings in Japan. It also comes with really good staple reprints so yeah.

God I really regret not buying cheap True Kings when I had the chance =_=

 

[Fate_Shirou]

I might pick up a few when im at locals again

You guys use custom playmats/sleeves? Thinking of picking up some fate/stay night swag like sleeves, deck boxes etc xD

 

[Drkirby]

Just watched the subbed version of the newest movie a theater was showing, great stuff. Kaiba was so over the top, it was amazing. He built a space elevator and space station just to minimize the time it would take to reassemble the Millennium Puzzle.

Also the elevator is for his private dueling time with his personally crafted Atem AI.

If you're getting sleeves with art on, I would consider double sleeving with a clear standard-size sleeve over the top (Dragon Shield sleeves are my personal favourite). The ink layer tends to wear out quickly if you shuffle a lot.

Ignore the above if you want to play in sanctioned tournaments - I think official tournament rules only allow single sleeving for some reason.

Seriously? Thanks, was going to order some expensive event sleeves lol >.<
I will just stick to ultra pro lol

 

[SolarKnight]

Speaking of Ultra Pro sleeves, did they drop in quality recently or did I just buy a bad pack?

did they break easily? I brought some for pokemon, and they had jagged edges : /

EDIT

I dont like buying them because of the mark, like the small circle...but my locals only stock those >.<

 

[SolarKnight]

Nothing broke, they just have a "worse" feeling thab older sleeves I have.

 

[Fj0823]

Playing against Gouki and Stargrail were an eye-opener to how easy it is to spam Links

Thankfully, Fluffal DGAF about new rules

Tiger OP.

 

[Qvoth]

out of the 3 (4?) new archtypes, which do you think is the strongest?
referring to cyverse, tricksters, gouki and stargrail
have a feeling cyverse is kinda underwhelming just based on the cards, i haven't touched yugioh in years though so what do i know?

I got wrecked by Stargrails hard several times

Gouki was a pain too but mainly because they have a mechanic with no limits while most of my decks now have a dumb "1 at a time" rule for their best cards and there are not enough generic links for me to keep up with the much slower pace of the game har har. (I am still very mad)

Had to switch to Fluffal to have a chance

Trickster and Cyverse are bad, I felt like they were one trick ponies. Beat them easily with Galaxy-Eyes

My vote goes to Stargrail.

 

[SolarKnight]

New legacy support pack, new playstyle for Red Eyes because why the fuck not. Now they're a gemini rank 7 equip burn deck or something.

The worst is that ALL of the Stargrail and Gouki Links unlock zones only for their side. They are extremely easy to set up with no openings for the opponent

I expected it to happen...but not on fucking set 1.

This set should've had a fuckton of generic links for older decks to keep up with the summon spam.

 

[Regiruler]

Tornado dragon makes me want to quit Yugioh.

 

[Astral/H3X]

Wait, the structure decks are actually good? I was under the impression that they were "okay".

Dinos are OP as fuck with or without the Rule Change

Tornado Dragon is such a big Fuck You to Pendulum players like me lmao talk about adding insult to injury.

Why is it fucking Rank 4? Rank 4 continues to be overpowered 2 gens later

 

[Fate_Shirou]

thinking of subbing to shonen jump for the promo card lol
Apprentice Illusion Magician this time >.<
how long does it take them to ship, and get it to you btw? (Canada)

 

[SolarKnight]

Tornado dragon makes me want to quit Yugioh.

When I first saw it I was like "oh it's just a r4nk MST" and it wasn't until a little later that I was "oh shit it's a r4nk MST".

After the fusion tuner from last time I assumed they'd do something easily accessible and powerful but I never imagined this.


Honestly I'm more mad over Diagram being secret.

 

[Sandfox]

They've been good since around the beginning of the Zexal era from what I remember.

 

[Char Aznable]

Boy, the nerf to pendulum decks is way too much, no way to play those decks anymore

RIP my zarc deck before the cards are even avalible :C

The nerf was to everything not named Links.

I think Fusions and Synchros got it worst. Pendulum can recycle stuff to the hand and Xyz have Rank-Up and Xyz Change to play around the summon limits

What really makes me mad were people defending this shit because Links would make the game slower. Gouki is a shit tier deck and it's fast as fuck not because their Links are good, but because older non-meta decks were gimped to make them look better.

Meta is still fast and stupid with Dinos and Zoos even with Links. The only people affected by the change are the casual players like me who liked to pull off hard to summon boss monsters in friendly duels, which is a bigger market than the people attending tournaments if the pojo posts by Kevin Tewart are to be believed.

The main Yugioh market will just be buying packs and decks based on the new series.

 

[Char Aznable]

yeah but that sucks, one of the cool things of the Arc-V era was the amount of support all the diferent summoning types got.

 

[Regiruler]

We now have set rotation.
