I stopped playing after pendulum monsters were introduced. The game was already too fast and I am far too retarded.

significantly less attractive than she used to be
>inb4 only troons like muscle girls
agreed, but diabellstar isn't a fucking gorilla, she literally only toned her arms and waist, as her sentient sinful spoils (which contain the souls of her adoptive sisters) didn't like how muscular she was getting and forbid her from exercising

oh wait, you mean how good she is in the game currently? very, since both WANTED and diabellstar are unlimited, so you can slot in as many copies of them as you want to shit out sylvia and dragoon (both are omni negates) out of 1.5 cards, the only issue is that it's a very expensive package (iirc DMoD is $80 and gaze $50-ish)

>>97973158
I like alt art Diabellstar so fucking much, she needs more art.

I might build a Genesys deck but is assault mode X-Sabers even viable? Want something with some sauce but relatively "cheap"

>>97973257
I don't think I've ever even heard of someone building such, much less finding it viable, but that's mostly because of ASSault mode being not very good. The big reason is that you have to play a bunch of bricks.
But I think you have to put theory into practice to figure this out. Try it in YGOomega because iirc they have genesys matchmaking so you can go straight from doing test hands (assuming you make a deck that works consistently) to doing test games.
Viability really depends on what you plan to end on and how you plan to get there. If you can end on something worthwhile and do it consistently then you're good.
If you really want to jam some test hands against a warm body and some non-meta decks I'd be happy to give you some of my time.

>>97973433
ah, I saw a few lists recommend it on reddit so I was curious. but does /tg/ mostly play on mdpro3 or omega?

>>97973433
Assault mode got support a couple months ago, it's no longer a inconsistent, bricky mess, the only way to brick now is by drawing the 2-3 copies of assault mode activate you run. X-saber however is incompatible with the deck, as both want the normal summon (you can't run 3 e-tele in this format).

I want to use Familiar-Possessed - Hiita because her alt art is absurdly erotic, but I don't want to run spirit charmers. Does anyone have deck ideas where I can use multiple copies of her?

Is there anywhere that I can read up on card lore? I found an entire page that explains the Diabellstar plot with all the connected cards but then when I look for other shit I get nothing

Like why does this bitch suddenly become a samurai with big boobs

>>97973507
>does /tg/ mostly play on MDpro3 or omega?
There's really no consensus and it really doesn't matter. Though EDO is used most often because it permits 3rd worlders and/or brokies to play.
Personally I recommend Omega over just about any other client in terms of visuals and mechanical play. Though I should say MDpro is visually on par with MD and Omega, it's just that setting up lobbies is a pain. (no idea if it's changed in the last roughly year, I haven't had a reason to use MDpro in that time)
I personally have all 3 EDO, Omega, and MDpro installed because I can with 2TB of storage.
>I saw a few lists
Are you sure they're playing true assault mode or just as an engine that spits out a mostly free synchro monster? As >>97973562 says though, E tele is pretty expensive in points which was how you're intended to make it happen "for free".

>>97973792
It's scattered through a few texts, mostly VBEXs aka Value Book EXs, but here's a pretty comprehensive stitching together of it all and more of a sparknotes.
https://www.masterduelmeta.com/articles/lore/abyss-gecko-chan
I recommend giving it a brief read but then visiting the actual sources linked at the bottom of the page for more fleshed out reading. As the above link is more of a summary rather than a complete text.
NOTE: Cards released after the story concluded are kind of up in the air and are interpreted as being somewhere inbetween other plot beats already established in this.
>Why does this bitch suddenly become a samurai with big boobs
Because she realized the nature of the dogmatika and went to the swordsouls to escape. Hence her name change.
Read the section "Attack on mount swordsoul" and a little before the section.

Another good source of info in the concept/reference art pages for the cards. You can find these on ygorg, the news site, and these are actually pretty hard to pin down due to name changes down the road.
But here, I'll spoon feed you what you want because I'm in the mood.
https://ygorganization.com/reference-art-dogmatika-fleurdelis-the-thunderous/
https://ygorganization.com/art1-card-game-art-works-the-abyss/ (scroll down a bit)
https://ygorganization.com/sowheredshegettheswagarmorfrom/
https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Card_Trivia:The_Iris_Swordsoul

>>97973792
>Like why does this bitch suddenly become a samurai with big boobs
Because they flee to the Swordsoul Nation before Maximus is able to enact his scheme to transform all of the people of the Dogmatika nation into Despians in a bid to get closer to their gods. In the Swordsoul nation, Fleurdelis (along with Theo and Adin) learn techniques to seal the stigmata that compelled them to do the Church's bidding, and also learned to channel the power of their very souls as weapons from the Icejade (with whom the Swordsoul masters have close relations). I'm paraphrasing a bit but that's why she goes from holy knight to samurai. As for her boobs, the power of the stigmata and icejade had no effect on them. They were just like that.

Not every card has lore, branded however does, a shit ton of it in fact, just look up "abyss/branded lore".

>>97973686
not even its home deck wants to run that card bruv

>>97973686
The only two Familiar-Possessed cards that are worth a damn are Lyna and Dharc because those have a very wide search pool effect when going to the graveyard. An effect that all the other Familiar-Possessed entirely lack.

No matter how much you may like the card, it just doesn't do anything for any decks.

If you summon back the pendulum power patrons with charmer quartet can you use the effect to summon the big idiots? Quartet prevents the monsters from being used as fusion material but is treated as a fusion/synchro summon the same thing?

Serious question for people deeper into the hobby and financials of card game business than myself, from a marketing perspective is there a reason why Konami is not incentivized to just make shit that is 'iconic' the meta?
By that I mean like if you are going to force feed power creep into your game no matter what why would you not just make some Dark Magician or Blue Eyes shit T0/1 virtually at all times when that's what people associate with your IP more than anything?
Given the regularity with which the game has power creep it can't just be "They are too retarded and don't actually know what makes cards good" right

>>97975357
They're sorta already doing it.
I mean they are for Blue Eyes. I think BEWD is playable in this meta.
I have no idea why they don't for DM, Yugi or Atem's archetypes. Even Toon got fucking busted. I guess it's mostly for variety too. Most of the people who play yugioh right now don't really care for Dark Magicians and would rather Anime Girl of the Box. (me)

One day Ebon Magician going to do some stupid ass shit.

>>97975280
>Pendulum Power Patrons
Those cards have the relevant effect
>You can banish the top 3 cards of your Deck, face-down; destroy this card, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "(related Fusion/Synchro/Xyz monster)" from your Extra Deck (this is treated as a Fusion/Synchro/Xyz Summon).

The relevant effect of Charmer Quartet in Bloom
>You can target 2 monsters in your GY with the same Attribute but different Types, or with the same Type but different Attributes; Special Summon both, also until the end of the next turn, this card and the Special Summoned monsters cannot be used as material for a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Summon.

Assuming those pendulum monsters are in your GY to be summoned by Charmer Quartet in Bloom, you would be able to use them to summon their respective Power Patron Fusion/Synchro/Xyz monsters, because they are not being used as Fusion/Synchro/Xyz material. They are destroying themselves in order to conduct a Special Summon, not using themselves as materials in the procedures to conduct Fusion/Synchro/Xyz summons.

Nervedo the Shadebeast Power Patron would be able to use its effect to destroy itself and special summon Nerva the Power Patron of Creation. It is not being used as Fusion Material in this context, it is just being destroyed by a card effect that Special Summons a monster.
Nervedo would NOT be able to be used as fusion material to summon Garura, Wings of Resonant Life by the effects of Super Polymerization, as it would be used as Fusion Material in that context.

Jupredo the Shademachine Power Patron would be able to use its effect to destroy itself and special summon Jupiter the Power Patron of Destruction, for the same reason
Jupredo would NOT be able to (somehow) act as the full material for the summon of Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis, as TY-PHON's alternate summon treats the monster you overlay it on as Xyz Material

banlist when?

>>97973087
>fix ashened
fuck this is gonna be hard

>Got my overframe mirrorjade
Yeah, this card is pretty sweet haha, he's literally built for the overframe.

>>97976418
so are you still going to play branded at your first local experience?

are bitchcrafters playable

>>97976437
Probably haha surprised you remember. It's such a high IQ deck though I'm only noticing how much I'm fucking up after seeing replays of everyone else play branded.

>>97976471
bro.....did you see those new cards?

>>97976471
They've been playable since the previous support wave since Lacrima of Light and Maid Genni/Verre gave them much-needed consistency and redundancy (you can do without the Maids since they aren't in the TCG). Pair them with Azamina and a Cartesia package for a negate and fusion access respectively, optionally a Magistus engine since that's just generic spellcasterslop. As long as you're comfortable playing out of your GY with 3 copies of Genni, you shouldn't really have too much issue playing through interruption.

Their post-Revolution Booster support makes their pure deck extremely strong since the cards fix all of the problems with the archetype. Walpurgis gives them insane GY setup power and also makes it easier to run them in compact engines since the card puts a witch in your hand and replaces the discard cost with Circular-like spell/trap dumps, and a combination of Rilliona and Celebration allow you to refresh your kit and swarm the field with monsters, giving you the ability to bruteforce through nib during setup and basically guarantee that you will not die if you do it during your opponent's turn. All of the support beyond that give them really good redundancy options to ensure that their gameplan gets set in motion, in addition to Marka being an archetypal GY Kaiju that searches Walpurgis.

In both cases, as long as you know your matchups, you can perform decently with them. Run with 2 haine and ignore the people that tell you not to since it's trivially easy to turbo both of them out for targeting immunity. Idiots will cite non-targeting effects but most of them just don't matter while you're setting up, which the first haine insulates you from and the second haine makes you immune from. They also do a LOT of legwork in a lot of matchups.

>>97976571
Do you happen to have a list with Regulus because I don't even care if Regulus is mediocre in the deck, it's cute as heck having him in the crew

>>97976571
Two other benchmarks, not factoring Azamina or Cartesia packages

>Drollability
Pre-Revolution Booster basically ignores it for the most part. Lacrima of Light and Schmietta dump spells to the GY and the GYs bounce back to your hand, so the only times the card would really hurt you (barring non-engine) is off of Creation's search if you have a bad hand.

Post-Revolution Booster is a little more susceptible to it since there are 3 scenarios where the deck would want to conduct a search-- Creation to search Maid Verre or Marka, Walpurgis' search (though at this point you can mostly ignore it anyway), and off of Pittore's draw (you can fully disregard Nib at this point). As soon as you get Walpurgis in your hand, you're basically good to go.

>Nib'ability
Pre-Revolution Booster, you're very susceptible to Nibiru, and will want to do GY setup with Genni to ensure that you can get something out to recover spells from your GY. Not being able to put a named Witchcrafter back on your field before the end phase kills the deck.

Post-Revolution Booster, you can play through Nibiru thanks to Celebration and Rilliona, since the previous strategies to get a copium board after Nibiru still apply. Fusion Rilliona by shuffling monsters in your GY/Banishment and then revive Vice Madame, then you can get a pure Witchcrafter board up through everything. This is also a scenario where Terracottan's in-hand effect applies. Some idiots were really critical of the fact that it locks your Extra Deck into Witchcrafter monsters because they assumed it was for opening combos and not for tying them off or recovering from bad scenarios.

Only problem with this is that it's HEAVILY telegraphed if your opponent knows the matchup. Either run a way to get Celebration back in your hand post-Nib (ie Potterie) or gamba on the idea of proceeding to EP with the card in your hand to bait out a Nib before the Main Phase ends.

>>97976905
Faimena is such a stupid hit. I really don't understand why people want it hit. You have to open her and 1 Dracotail and materials you're willing to use, or resolve Mulcharmies to draw into the stuff. During all the time I used Dracotail or played against, I only saw turn 0 Faimena like twice.

Is Primera a loli?

I would limit prayers instead, then ritual after they release pic related. I considered hitting aramasa too, but decks that splash mitsubishi as a cope engine tend to not use it as a normal summon.

All the solemn traps (and iron thunder) should be limited or banned on principle.

The maliss hits are unnecessary, it's no longer even shambling along these days.

>>97976952
Because it's a deck-agnostic mostly-free turn 0 fusion enabler that at best, sets up multiple points of interaction while also acting as removal, and at worst, does whatever the hell the Branded parts of their deck is gonna be doing since Branded Dracotail is the most common meta variant of the deck. People are growing tired of random turn 0 plays and Harmonia isn't gonna help the optics for that.

When new to the hobby if I already know what archetype(s) I'm interested in buying a deck for, how do I know what's a good template to copy? Like ygoprodecks has a bunch of decks but is there a way to filter by "People say this shit was good"? etc.

>>97977902
You can filter on ygopro by winner, top 4, regional, ycs etc.

>>97975879
Awesome, thanks for the detailed response

>>97976905
no sure I don't like Izuna and Razen hits. Herald can stay banned it do too much.

>Eh, would be neat
Clowns
Hecahands
Exceptional Signal (Can Ancient Gears even set something up going first?)

shit list, in no universe are they going ban habikiri when they just released a product last week that contains it and is marketed as playable out of the box. literally the dumbest "prediction" ive ever seen.

>>97976522
Side effect of how high the skill level has gotten from people on tricking the deck for closing in on 5 years at this point.

How important is Crown currently as a staple?

>>97978451
Not very. Maybe if you're a Radiant Typhoon main it's worth it.

>>97978451
its good in grindy decks where if you can use it to live a turn but as an interaction piece its pretty mid

>>97978304
For fun, sure. But I would not go in with any expectations to get what you want.

You get about 2 SE, 4 UR, rest is SR. (technically the chase rarity of the set could replace once of those but it's basically NEVEREVER so don't count on it)
Then you have to consider how diluted each of those pools are with cards you might not want. Like if you only want 2/10 of the SE names then 8/10 are basically duds to you.

You can then kind of eyeball if the set is ok for you to get based on how much hit/miss there is.
NOTE: you're unlikely to pull playsets of most things so keep that in mind if you need multiples. Especially SEs because you only usually get 2 of them.

>>97978545
I don't mind buying singles after but I usually just play opening packs. Other than harmonia though this pack looking kinda dry. Clowns are cool but for me it's
Chaos Origins
>Need
not sure yet, probably really nothing
>Want
BLITZCLIQUE PLEASE I LOVE THIS ARCHETYPE
ALEISTER
RITUAL OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS
CHESS
and they also have extended arts.

Like I'm definitely getting a box or two of Chaos Origins but BLZD ehh idk debating between just getting another box of Origins instead but I do like opening packs..

My waifu shitmon isn't relevant enough to have an OCG sleeve

Is it as common in other card games to have text on the card just be fucking wrong and to have to look up what the card "actually" says in a database?

Bagooska definitely will go, they're selling a preconstructed lunalight deck in iirc september and i doubt they want every single local store to be a race of who gets to summon bagooska + liger first and/or who draws the out for them.
CORI in the house comes out in two months and the goyim must consvme prodvct, so i'm guessing some more hits to dracotail and k9, every single name to 1 most likely, to sell the newest shit.
I doubt they're banning habakiri, but prayers to 1 is very likely, still, i doubt even that would happen (for now) because they still haven't sold end of the world ruler.
Naturia rosewhip is definitely getting jailed. We're getting fydraulis harmonia in less than a week, meaning the meta will be kewl tune VS elfnote, so they're banning this gay floodgate ASAP because emergency banning shit looks bad for them (last year people were floodgating each other with either pachy or mjolnir, so they had to act).

That's all really, no kewl tune hits just yet because they're just getting the card that lets them rape the meta, and i don't think they're touching vision in this side of the world because jewart and jewrome h*ckin' love their boomer references.

>>97978334
It happened twice with Baronne in Rarity Collection and Prosperity in the tins, if I'm remembering correctly. Releasing cards in sealed sets doesn't protect a card from being banned, it does the exact opposite.

>>97982086
completely different from this. the legendary modern decks aren't packs with a chance to pull habikiri, they're "ready to play" constructed decks.

>>97982064
at least post yugioh art.

>>97982097
No it isn't. Artifact Scythe also got banned after it got printed in Albaz Strike because it was a problematic card that warped the meta that people were suddenly given easy access to. Being released in an upcoming set will typically insulate a card from bans, but having been released in a set before the banlist puts it in the crosshairs.

>>97982110

They delayed it for the EU because of a misprint that left the product not legal out of the box. You would think that of they were planning on fixing the product due to a legality issue that they wouldn't instantly create the exact same problem they had to just solve.
