This is what I did to get a better grasp on the rules and just to learn cards. I hate having my opponent wait while I read their cards...

So more fun news: The Ancient Gear support announced in the new Structure Deck ain't bad at all! Turn 1 Rank 4, 5(including CDI), 6, 8, and 9 plays, plus a really powerful boss monster!

That Dragon is pretty bad, the summon conditions to get effects kinda kill it
Click to expand...

Really? I've been playtesting it and I'm absolutely loving what we have so far. If I open turn 1 with Geartown + Catapult I'll usually go into Rafflesia or Titanic Galaxy depending on what I'm playing, but if I open Gold/Silver Gadget + CoTH, I usually go into Gear Gigant plays and protect my LP via bouncing Gadgets, ending on Ancient Gear Gadget. Tribute it the next turn and tear your opponent a new asshole. Not to mention it can easily bring out any Ancient Gear monster you need by popping Geartown off its own effect, which if properly tributed can be game, or can be something like Infinity if you've already got Engineer on the field. It's Armades effect plus it's ability to pop any backrow are inherent, without summoning conditions. That alone makes it good IMO, the rest is just icing. No BA grave effects, no Kozmo tagging out, etc. It's def very anti-meta.

Ancient Gear isn't great as of now, but the deck definitely has plays with this new support. The biggest knock I have against it is it being a lv 9 and ruining dreams of running a Trade-In engine to turbo out a field, but it could end up being a blessing if we ever get strong generic rank 9 support outside of Phantom Fortress Enterblathnir.

Second knock against the current support is that it doesn't do so hot with Gofu; you either open Gofu + Geartown + Engineer for an Ultimaya play, but can't use Catapult afterwards, or you go Geartown + Catapult into the XYZ monster for the job but can't use Gofu to bring out Ultimaya.

The bright side, and oh is it bright, is that Ancient Gears now have a 2-card combo that can go into the rank 2, 4, 5, 8, and 9 toolbox without using a normal summon. And both cards are searchable, between Terraforming and Ancient Gear Drill, if a bit slow.

Watching GX, I'm now upto the second year arc, on Episode 60.

I just can't stop being annoyed that the subs don't match the names at all. I can clearly hear him say Feather Man, Burst Lady, Blade Man ect in English, but they changed the name from Megaman like names to random names.

Like why can't Die Hard Guy just be Die Hard Guy, that one got changed to Captain Tenacious.

I think it's because those cards are called different names in the TCG (like Featherman is called Avian and Burst Lady is called Burstinatrix). When you see the dub they use these English names.

Yeah, so I guess I'm more bitching about why did they change the names in the first place? Was the Megaman throwback not cool enough for kids a decade ago?

Oh well, at least they aren't trying to use the English character names, seeing the Dubs names on the Wiki, they are all significant downgrades.

That's what the Fusion SP is for :D
Click to expand...

That's also my bet. It's called Fusion Enforcers, I figure it couldn't possibly be anything else. Maybe between that booster and the structure deck Ancient Gears might be rogue-tier.

My other bets for the booster are Predator Plants. Lunalights, and Fluffals in that order.

Predator Plants desperately need the support so I really want them to be in the Fusion SP, all the Yuyas have been represented in the Booster SP as well. Ancient Gear Fusions could be like the Goyo monsters of this set.


I'm sad that Lunalight Crimson Fox isn't in The Dark Illusion. :(

The imports are cramped from a lack of WSUP2. Until the other region premieres are cleared, expect a lot of cards to be put on the backburner.

Dark Side of Dimensions Movie Pack releases today!

New archetypes introduced are the Magician Girls (w/Chocolate Magician Girl imported!) and the Cubic monsters that are used by Aigami in the movie.
Blue-Eyes Alternative Dragon is a big boost to Blue-Eyes decks while the new Gold and Silver Gadgets are useful for the future ABCs and new Ancient Gears.

RIP in peace Kozmos, literally every card banned for World Championships.

Also Dante, Pantheism and Domain at 1 so Burning Abyss and Monarchs got hit hard too. Damn shame because those two are one of the few decks I can play in this game lol.

Dude's fucking Amazing in Odd-Eyes, just add a couple of TimeGazer Magicians to the deck and wreck shit

EDIT: ARC V was SO BAD last week. LOL, guess they can't be all winners

Went to The Dark Illusion sneak peek and won a raffle for the mat.
Click to expand...

I also won a mat. But I earned it by DUELING FIVE PEOPLE INTO SUBMISSION.

My pulls were terrible though. No Secrets and a worthless Ultra. I was surprised that my deck functioned as well as it did, with no low pendulum scales or giant beaters (Amaterasu doesn't really count, though she was insane):

1x Performapal Bot-Eyes Lizard
1x Performapal Bubblebowwow
1x Magician of Dark Illusion
2x Magician's Robe
1x Magician's Rod
1x Metalfoes Steelen
1x Scapeghost
1x Amaterasu
2x Wrecker Panda
1x Fairy Tail - Snow
1x Floodgate Trap Hole
1x Unified Front
1x Pendulum Hole
1x Empowerment
1x Paleozoic Olenoides
1x Paleozoic Hallucigenia
1x Paleozoic Canadia
1x Paleozoic Pikaia

Wrecker Panda is best mascot. He is also the defeater of TRUE KING AGNIMAZUD, THE VANISHER. You get in Panda's way, you get wrecked.

The Dark Illusion releases today!

Dark Magician gets support that searches his powerful Spell/Trap effects from the Deck and brings him onto the field easily.
Use Metalfoes to destroy your cards and set their Spell/Traps from the deck filling up your Extra Deck in the process.
Subterrors and SPYRAL's are new TCG-Exclusive themes that take advantage of Flip effects and can give you a peek into your opponents deck respectively.

So I got my two boxes in. Notable pulls:

1x Dark Magical Circle
1x Magician Navigation
1x Coral Dragon
1x The Hidden City
1x Subterror Behemoth Umastryx
1x SPYRAL Super Agent
1x True King Agnimazud, the Vanisher
1x Master Peace, the True Dracoslayer
1x Block Dragon
1x Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend
2x Premature Return

Traded Umastryx and the Floodgate Trap Hole from the Sneak Peek for another Dark Magical Circle, and am trading the Coral Dragon for another Magician Navigation tomorrow. I have a potential trade lined up for the last Dark Magical Circle too. Just need to find someone else with a Magician Navigation now.

Thinking I might try to get back into the series for the first time since GX. Going to start up the Arc series (which doesn't seem to be on crunchyroll although the other series are, will have to look for where I can find it).

What is the best video game to catch me up on the series/game mechanics? I know there is a console game that came out a year or so ago and also some mobile games.

Legacy of the Duelist. Check my thread on that game, it's in the OP.

Watching Arc-V should be enough to catch up though.

All this news warms my heart, if only because new cards are always exciting.

So on the topic of Worlds, who do we think is going to win it? I figure the favorite is Blue-Eyes due to being at full power in both the OCG and TCG, with Demise decks as a runner up due to also being able to spam anti-Blue-Eyes stuff while also running an engine. Or in other words...I think Satellars could win Worlds again, followed by Blue-Eyes, followed by other rogue decks. Raidraptors and Psy-Frame will do really well and land in the Top 16 is my dark horse bet.

Demise Artifacts

I legitimately think it's the most explosive demise deck legal for worlds, and they're incredibly resilient to trap floodgates due to literally playing 6+ MSTs in the maindeck.

Do you smell that? Can you hear it?

The salt of player's tears, the sweat for banlist fears? Cries of poor meta representation, of a format's desecration?

Worlds is just upon us.
