Why is this still the coolest Yu-Gi-Oh card?
sorry but he is cooler
>>727735450sorry but she is cooler
The point is, literally all of the iconic and cool ones were drawn by TakahashiIt's his creation and everything after him was fan fiction
gaylord
>>727735450well it's a motherfucking dragon for starters.

>>727735862I was never into the real life cards so I've mostly seen the tiny icons on the GBA.I thought this guy had spiky hair like Yugi's.
>>727736204He has tall antennae and it's weird because he's not a bug.
>>727735450because of seto kaiba, our wonderfuly mad billionare
AHEM
>>727736696Keep in mind that despite Kaiba having an Egyptian spiritual lineage with the girl whose soul formed the Blue-Eyes, there's still one of them out there fiercely loyal to Yugi's grandpa.
>>727736716Why is he so PROUD!?
Blue Eyes is the Charizard of Yugioh. If you like it, you’re a complete basic bitch
>here's a bunch of cool dragon cards broSo then what the hell is the point of buying any other set?
>>727735930Atem uses him as tribute the only time he brought out BLS
>>727735450I like how the backgrounds on most old yugioh cards just look like an n64 texture.
For me it’s the PERFECTLY ULTIMATE GREAT MOTH

>>727736967>Comparing anything in Yu-Gi-Oh with the goyslop that is pokemonLMAOOOOOO
>so much as the kids say AURA that people WILL rage quit as soon as you activate it
>>727737307>>727737370i never played any yugioh cards irlcan you just set the card face down in attack position, then declare an attack which would mean you "flip" it and then activate the effect? or do you have to set it face down in defense and wait for your opponent to attack it?
>>727737627only face down defense positionwhen the opponent attacks it flips and activates its effect, or you can flip it into attack mode on your next turn after placing it to activate
>>727737291Why why why did they draw this thing like this
>>727737291this post always makes me lol
>>727737680ah k
>>727737627You can either play it face up attack position or play it face down defense position, which is "setting" it. If you switch it from face down defense to attack you gotta flip it over, which activates its effect. If it gets attacked while face down it gets flipped too, which activates its effect.
>>727736823fucking kino
>>727737790i want to go to a yugioh tournament one day and go against an exodia deck just so I can copy Kaiba's exact reaction to it IRL
>>727735862MY HEROhttps://files.catbox.moe/1lbgnb.mp4
>>727737627When you attack a face down card, it flips up, and the flip effect activates before the monster would be destroyed. Unless you have cards that can destroy face down monsters without flipping them. But at the start of the TCG, there wasn't anything you could about morphing jar or maneater. Obvious there is ways of doing this now but these are some old old cards. Nowadays this is nothing special because destruction effects are everywhere and morph jar is banned.
>>727737710Because she's Kaiba's waifu

>>727736696Does anyone have the copy pasta of all the mad shit he did for the sake of a card game?
>>727737710in yugioh we have sex with the dragons
>>727735567Nah, that is unrealistic. If that was a real Yugioh card, she would be younger.
>>727736823>This monster is a "Millennium" counterpart of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon">This monster is based on the fourth copy of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" owned by Sugoroku Mutou in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and anime.>This monster's name and second effect to prevent its control from being switched references Sugoroku Mutou's speech to Seto Kaiba in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 9: "The Cards with Teeth (Part 1)" when the former refused to sell his copy of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" to the latter because of its sentimental value. Sugoroku proceeded to tell Kaiba that if he treasured something, it would grow a heart its own, including his copy of the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".>This monster's TCG name is a reference to the Heart of the Cards philosophy mentioned by Sugoroku in those scenes.>This monster's third effect references a scene in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 10: "The Cards with Teeth (Part 2)", where Sugoroku's copy of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (a Level 8 monster with 3000 ATK), which was stolen by Seto Kaiba and used in his Duel against Dark Yugi, refused to attack and destroyed itself. Dark Yugi then Special Summoned that copy of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from Kaiba's Graveyard with "Monster Reborn", as part of his winning move.>This card's artwork is taken from the aforementioned chapter, specifically from the panel showing "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" being Special Summoned to Dark Yugi's field.>This effect being activated only once per Duel references the fact that Sugoroku only had one copy of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".kino, so fucking kino

>>727738837Holy fucking soul overload.
>>727740232Powerful cards make the new powerful more powerful. It fixes a bricked hand better than mystical mallet because if you use it at 0 cards that is basically a +5. Probably more since the metagame right now is so fucking over reliant on graveyard effects

>>727746212Because that was just his hair coloration for the Toei anime.
>>727746212You can kinda do whatever when the source material is black and white.Read the manga, it's fun.
I actually played original yugioh card game like 20 years and thought it was neato. Looki at all the new systems and additions i have no idea what the fuck am i reading. How does one even come back into this?
a
>>727746721Try playing one of the video games like Legacy of the Duelist and work your way up through the seasons.
>>727746721Decks use "archetypes" now, essentially theming around a specific card or series of cards. Like Dark Magician has an archetype; a series of monsters, spells, and traps supporting it. So does Blue-Eyes.
>>727746721Just play and try to learn what you can. Also be prepared to get throttled by the current meta, and be ready to wait half an hour while the opponent goes through half their deck to fill the board with bullshit cards on their first turn.
>>727746721You could start out with something like Edison or Goat format?
>>727740479What loop? Is that easier to do than what people do in their first turn nowadays?>>727740618I'm unaware of any new cards that would make jar more powerful than currently rampant FTK.
>>727746721>2005 was 20 years agoYugioh has evolved a lot through the years, so there are players playing (and optimizing) snapshots of yugioh through time.The most populars are:>2005: goat format>2010: edison format>2014:hat formatGoat format is the easiest to get into, edison is a bit faster and has real combos and synchro summons, and hat format is even faster and includes xyz summons.If you want to plain get into the modern, current day format, there is no alternative but to watch youtube guides on the basics and/or going to your local tcg shop and convince someone to teach you to play(Dont buy anything at first. You will likely get scammed)
>>727735450It is for me. My deck was themed around it back when I still played.
>>727735664I like the Code Talkers' designsAs cards and associated bullshit not so much but still
>>727735450Dark Magician was ALWAYS cooler, doubly so when you consider the cards built for them. Blue Eyes is just dragons dragons dragons dragons occasionally a knight. Dark Magician cards make you feel like he's actually casting spells and doing magic tricks
>>727735450It was always and will always be the absolute GOAT. No card game has a card even close.
>>727735450yugioh needs to do a prismatic set like pokemon its basically a special set that lets the artists go wild with designs
>>727737914Love those old CMs like you have no idea
>>727746721It's not that hard. Just takes time and patience. It's not worth it though; the game is quite awful now. It's power-crept to the point of being extraordinarily boring. I suppose playing locals could grant more variety but we're talking about fat sweaty retards that care about modern Yugioh -- it'll be competitive. IMO Goat and Edison are actually fun but YMMV and they have their own issues.
>>727735550Pulled this guy back in the day and instantly became the best duelist in the school.
>>727749702That looks like absolute ass though
>>727740980I pulled a first edition Celtic from a conveinient store pack when I was like 6. Granted, it was the first season of Yugioh cards being released in North America but it was cool
>>727744384depends on what you want.-Old Era: 2006 World Championship/Nightmare Troubadour-GX Era: Tag Force 3-5d's Era: 2011 World Championship/Tag Force 6-Zexal Era: Duel Carnival JapaneseTag Force Special just happens to have a lot of cards but as a Tag Force game it lacks quite on the side of presentation. Otherwise it would be the most complete handheld game up to the start of the Arc-V era. Anything else is just pure personal preference, like GX Duel Academy or the GX DS games having some of the school simulation aspects or the older RPG style DM games like Reshef.
>Use Nibiru>5 minutes later the fucker is still summoning shitJesus Christ this fucking game has to be the worst CCG on the market. You should not be able to cycle through the entirety of your ED on one turn. If I had used Maxx C I'd have literally drawn out. Fucking insane.
Just posting my bootleg Millennium Shieldit was crazy how useful having a big fucking wall was against all the other neighborhood kids with their beatdown decks
>>727750010Subjective opinion, I think it's fucking gorgeous.Also as a side note that card retails at over a thousand dollars at the moment.
>>727746721>How does one even come back into this?You search the card you liked the most from back then, it 100% has a theme made on its image and try to play that for a while. You do not really need to learn systems you don't care about at the start of returning. Play one of the 2010s era games. Legacy of the Duelist Link Evolution is the most complete solo game and it has a mode where it builds the deck in the image of the anime characters for you to learn. Master Duel Solo Gates serve as a good introduction to mechanics and themes in the official simulator. If even after all of that it doesn't click with you, search one of the plenty communities that support an older era of the game and play with them. Even if after doing that you do not like the game after 20 years, don't force it.
>>727747376Morphin Jar is unlimited at 3 right now in TCG/OCG, it is doing nothing because the deck that abused it in the past, Empty Jar, isn't going to take over the world anymore. So much that they even started to do good support for Flip this past year without any consequences.
>>727750473Oops
>>727749702The closest to that that will happen is that starting next year they will implement those out of frame artworks from Rush Duels into OCG/TCG or something similar with a rarity called Overframe. They have yet to reveal how it will look. Based on some Overrush artworks, there's high chances they come with new dynamic poses different from the originals.

>>727751516
>>727751718Mainly those that strictly come from the manga he actually wrote + a few notable ones that just happen to have his signature. Most other cards were drawn/designed by Konami staff or scriptwriters. The Anime makes a lot of original inclusions so that's not a reliable source.

>>727751797It's genuinely impressive how Anima is just Relinquished upside-down, but with more points so that it's obviously a Link monster.Genius design.
>>727752030Look up the Lady of Lament cards.They're succubi that specialize in spreading STDs.
>>727737291lmfao
>>727735450Needs better support, unironically. Ultimate Spirit, Sifr, and pass isn't good enough.Needs to be able to stop your opponent from tributing, using super poly, and to get to a negate before your opponent can nib you.Also needs some graveyard effects.The majority of its archetype is useless.
>>727750751I am so tempted to meme for a few weeks and bring flipslop to localsI've been itching to dangle the tins for so long
>>727752008Didn't this card fuck up Duel Links super hard?
>>727746071he had to win a contest for that though didn't he, and he couldn't just bend reality to win like the other MCs he just won normally
>>727752341I got to Master 1 with it a few times in Master Duel. When the deck works it feels pretty good but I would say a good 70% of games feel like I'm playing Primite Drillbeam control
>>727751823cont.In the original GameBoy games there's tons of credits of people that were just magazine readers that submitted their artwork for random monsters by mail because at the time they did a contest to gather designs. Even then the original designs sent by people and the final versions aren't exactly the same artwork. Just the idea or concept.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_24y5IwOS80This video goes on with one such designer. They reveal that among the 350 cards in the first gameboy game, substracting the originals from the manga, 200 credits=200 extra cards that are original for the game. Despite the Jump magazine only showing 9 such designs, causing the incorrect impression that only 9 such cards were adopted.
>>727735450>tfw I saw the new art for Blue Eyes cards (along with all the new art
>>727752508>couldn't just bend reality to winExcept for that one time
>>727752427The only thing is REALLY dislike about Tindangle is their fucking elephant of a boss monster. The rest of the deck is honestly okay
>>727751657>Yugioh Then: Demon 'creature' that attacks people in their dreams and puts them to sleep forever>Yugioh Now: Look at this CUTE girl doing CUTE things XD. CUTE. CUTE!Yeah. Now.
>>727752514Yeah. Sometimes I'll get lucky and manage to not get interacted with, other times I'll pull off getting Magia and MAYBE another spirit dragon, but most times it's just praying and hoping you get no interactions. Lordly Lode feels really bad to use to get another blue-eyes because it shuts off effects and prevents you from stopping nibu.
>>727752624I don't remember what this is. All I remember is that Jaden didn't have any form of in universe power for asspull draw all he could do was talk to Kuriboh/Card spirits and Yubel was just killing people that beat him as a kid or some shit.
>>727752548There's 3 new blue eyes cards, two of them look like previous blue eyes cards and one of them is just Dragon Shrine but with Azure Eyes flying over it
>>727752648Shit like Lady of Faith, Harpies, Mystical Elf, etc. were always there. Hell, even in the PROTOTYPE before we got actual yugioh there were girls. It's only an exception to you because you grew up with

>>727745056>He stopped mattering after season 1GX is the Jaden show so this is a moot point.
>>727752875First off Traptrix are like 15 years old at this point not really "Yugioh now"Secondly they're one of the few cute girl archetypes that are cute girls for an actual good and fun reason this was a terrible example for youThey're carnivorous plants and bugs that mimic cute girls to lure horny pedos to their deaths to eat them
>>727741323this nigga with axe of despair still wins me games.t. last archfiend player
>>727752875Explain Harpie Lady. Explain Water Girl. Explain Key Mace. Hell, explain Dark Magician Girl. Dark Witch. Dark Valkyrie. Mystical Sand. Red Archery Girl. Protector of the Throne.You're just dumb AND you brought up an archetype that's over TWELVE YEARS OLD.They have a longer history with the game than you do. The fact you're seething about them when they've been here for almost half the game's lifespan is proof. The rest of the girls I've listed were here almost since inception and that was before archetypes were really a thing.
>>727752707https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Sabatiel_-_The_Philosopher%27s_Stone_(anime)its basically a card that can be any card in your deck with more shit attached.that said it had 3 uses total before the card fizzled from the anime forever.
>>727752749Needing to pretend that Harpie Ladies and Windwitch are equivalent shows how disingenuous you are and kind of proves my point for me. So thanks.
>>727735450>has an absolute dogshit summon condition>still the most kino Blue Eyes design in the series.
>>727744768>>727744701>Rei>AsukaThey knew what they were doing.
>>727752341It's funny, because BEWD is in way better shape than DM. I've tried DM pure, DM with Shining Sarcophagus, DM and Primite -- I've never been able to reach Diamond with any of them (at least for as long as I've been trying, which is the last month or so). Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it's far too bricky in the shitty modern game. Primite is the best of these but even that's just getting lucky with the opening hand and being able to hide behind Primite Drillbeam while Dragon Knight preserves the backrow and Eternal Soul keeps Dragon Knight unmolested.One cool trick is to use Secrets of Dark Magic and Primite Fusion in conjunction to milk two fusion monsters out of the same two monsters, but Dragon Knight + Dragoon aren't exactly unstoppable. 3000ATK is nothing. It also tends to exhaust your hand so Dragoon doesn't have a negate when you need it, or using its negate sacrifices the ability to use Drillbeam. It's a hard deck to keep crammed with handtraps too since it's already easy to draw dead with as it is. Pure DM doesn't have any room at all. I'm not complaining, exactly. I honestly don't think Dark Magician suits the modern game at all conceptually. It's too good to stoop that low.
>>727752707It's stablished in universe that jaden has a universal singularity draw cheat that makes him unable to brick no matter what. Tested by science and magic.
>>727753279>shows how disingenuousthe only disingenuous one is you. it only counts when you like it. You can't even come up with a reason why it doesn't count. It just doesn't because you think it's disingenuous for not fitting your narrative.You'll just run away, nursing your wounded pride knowing all the while that I'm right while you try to convince yourself that you have any idea what Yugioh "nowadays" even means.Let me guess, you miss the playground days where everything wasn't clear cut and there wasn't a real "meta" and think it never existed despite evidence to the contrary. Despite how much you "liked" the game, you fell off for the past couple decades, got hyped by master duel, and walked away disappointed when you got your ass handed to you when you loaded in with your shitty 1900 beater deck.You gave the most generic "I MISS WHEN MONSTERS WERE COOL AND SCARY" but ignore the tits waggling in your face and cute monsters like Petit Dragon and Angel when it's convenient for you.You were never into Yugioh. You were just into whatever looked cool at the time.
>>727753507The issue is DM doesn't do enough on its own.Primite BEWD works because Primite Dragon can become the BEWD link 1 and continue plays that way with the 2nd normal from the field spell. With that 2nd normal, sage can get you more advantage and get your engine online.DM doesn't get that synergy, so Primite in it is just a pure cope.
>>727753507Blue-Eyes as a deck has always been better than Dark Magician and no one pretends that Dark Magician is a deck ready for heavy competition. I dunno why you're so shocked for realizing this.
>>727752648The game has inarguably softened in style. I don't know how or why anyone would argue otherwise. It had cute shit, but it was often deliberately cute in contrast to the rest of the game. Older cards are absolutely more creepy and weird and more varied. The game's structural reliance on archetypes and two turn games also means that you tend to see more of that stuff in the spotlight. Decks aren't a >>727753731>I dunno why you're so shocked for realizing this.>shocked No?
>>727752707Judai was destined to fight the evil light as the Supreme King, Yubel was his childhood friend in a previous life or some shit and also his protector which is why she(?) instinctively attacks anyone who does him harm. He is a chosen one.
>>727737776Does the attack still trigger though?Say you desiginate the attacking monster to be killed while its targetting the bug
>>727753507I feel genuinely bad for Dark Magician because they get some fucking awesome card art but, like blue-eyes, 95% of the archetype is useless anyway. spirit dragon's tag outs into crimson dragon are the only reason it's any good unfortunately. ultimate fusion is situationally good but only really for summoning magia.
>>727753889Its strange to me Konami doesn't push for these decks to be meta more often.It wouldn't be hard, they did it with Yubel.
>>727753714Primite in general is kind of strange. I'm guessing Konami will give it more cards but I don't think the intended use for it (dumping a variety of normal dragons into it) really works. No surprise people just threw it in with Blue-Eyes.
How does Konami vs Wizards printing work? From what ive heard konami constantly reprints so cards dont cost as much as they do in magic
>>727753950Right? it feels like they're waste a lot of designs. Ultimate Spirit and Spirit with Eyes of Blue is a step in the right direction but both DM and BE have weak to non-existent hand utility, very little to do with the graveyard, and have an extremely difficult time going second no matter what. Especially in a best of 1 scenario.
>>727737564> Yu-gi-oh> Not goyslopLol
>>727753954Primite's intended use is just to facilitate normal monsters required to certain plays. Blue-Eyes is the intended use of it. Even if they put more cards under the archetype, it isn't meant to be a deck on its own but an engine for many more that would make good use of Normal monsters stats, like White Duston and Fiendsmith for example.
If they ever wanna "Fix" Normal monsters, they need to print really hard to get rid of cards that have effects that scale based off how many normal monsters you have, lots of searchability, ways to recycle normal monsters, and ways to rapidly swarm the field with normal monsters.They won't though because it'd just open up ways for effect monsters to abuse said normal monsters.
>>727754138>Primite's intended use is just to facilitate normal monsters required to certain playsYou say that but the Primite fusion monster doesn't serve much purpose in a BEWD deck or Fiendsmith.
>>727735450YGO Fightan fucking WHEN
Sorry, but he is cooler.
Not a monster but still my favorite artwork of any YGO card. Its metal as fuck.>angry mummies about to eat a guy alive>a plasma wall for no reason>cool name
>>727754463Gazelle should be one of these fighters that is 2 characters in one and the special has you fusing both for a period of time.
>>727754359I don't think Konami could pull it off even if they wanted to. It would require foresight and careful skill at making games. Konami struggles with things like that, or ignores them.
>>727753889My favorite example is this card which isn't even playable.My favorite design is the DSOD one, though. It's almost Elric-y.
For me is...
>>727735450>>727735550>>727735773>>727735784>>727743895Anyone else remember the artwork for these cards being much more detailed? Why do they look like shit now
>>727754980I like the Palladium Oracles. Mahad and Mana just get to be in the game as themselves, even if Mana looks nothing like how she did in Egypt.
>>727754492Egypt themed cards are cool.
>>727754463jump force had yugi and kaiba
>>727755129
>>727755143>Yugi and Kaiba summon their cards like Stands to attack directlyI don't know what I was expecting, honestly.
>>727755143I rather see a game where you fight as the monsters while using spells and traps as a systematic gimmick.
>>727755284jump super stars had the same thing way back on the DS.
I like the decks that lean into the cult aspect of it. I also like girls. Gishki is one of my favorites since it combines the two and I wish they were better. I also like the sinful spoils story decks. I also like graveskeepers and I'm interested in trying Odion's new deck.
>>727755036I don't think it's a matter of detail. Even the current waifu shit is often more detailed than a lot of older cards. As the manga occult influence dwindled the cards started to look more sterile, though. The older cards -- even some of the cutesier ones--tended to have heavier shading with a moodier feel because that's what Takahashi emphasized.I think older cards are easier to apprehend too. A lot of modern cards are so cluttered it's hard to parse at that scale.
I do not care for Vijam, the Cubic Seed.Actually I like Vijam itself cause it reminds me of Hundun in Spelunky 2, but I don't care for the monsters it turns into.
>>727755795I frequently forget that Vijam, the Cubic Seed exists
>>727755834Aigami in Dark Side of Dimensions movie uses a Cubic deck, so both Yugi and Kaiba face off against it.
>>727735450I called the trash can dragon when I was a kid. It was cool because Kaiba was such a great character
>>727755898I am awareThe deck is extremely forgettable
>>727740980Celtic Guardian is such a weird localization for Elf Swordsman, what were they thinking?
>>727756464What about Obnoxious Celtic Guard?
>>727756742>Japanese translated name:>Toying Elf SwordsmanPick your poison.
Going second is impossible but going first is also really hard if you're not using a tier 1 meta deck. There's also basically no backup plan vs Maxx "C". In Spright I can set up Colossus or Silouhatte but they're basically as instant loss as summoning Typhon.
>>727735450I think the anime lore made it cool and the fact that it wasn't the hero's card.
>>727735450I wish yugioh was just monsters, flip monsters, traps and spells, none of the gay fusion stuff and whatever they came up with later
>>727757389Fusions were in thr game originally but they were terrible
>>727743353>shoplyfter
>>727757389Fusions weren't so bad. They're too easy to shit out now, but everything is too easy to shit out now. Honestly YGO is a fascinating study in how not to build a card game.
>>727755018Based
>>727757389I wish the ED stuff starting with Synchro didn't exist. Game has been broken since then. I also hate how monsters can do EVERYTHING and have three effects and negate everything an infinite amount of times.
>>727754492>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IgoitlgZOI
>>727757535YGO being crazy and fast is honestly why I enjoy it so much. You can play like literally any other cardgame if you want to wait 5 turns to start being able to do anything because of resource gains and shit.
>>727753348Nah this is more kino. Is basically a blue eyes god card and shoots godzilla lasers from it's wings
>>727757535I've always called Yugioh the Marvel vs Capcom 2 of card games.
>>727757870>the Marvel vs Capcom 2 of card gamesWouldn't MtG be a more apt fit for that given the amount of crossover slop it receives?
>>727743895HE IS IF HE LOWERS THE HELMET???
>>727757707I wouldn't call it crazy, though. It's extremely predictable and monotonous because of how reliant on engines/archetypes and tutoring it is. There's not much meaningful development.
>>727737950IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MENOT HIM
>>727758356I meant gameplay wise. Yugioh is fast and broken the moment the duel begins.
>>727737950AI please generate sloppa of Kaiba fucking his dragonfu.
>>727758583its crazy compared to other card games since theres no resources and you can just chain shit forever
>>727757670What about a format where effect monsters that have more than one effect are excluded?
Daily reminder that Yugioh creator died suddenly at the age of 50 and that injecting untested medicine into his body had nothing to do with it.
https://files.catbox.moe/f8vz9j.png>>727759464>dragonfuWhat does that mean?
>>727760501he drowned trying to save someone you dumb nigger
>>727760501You're right, he died because he tried to rescue some people caught in a riptide and got caught in it himself and drowned. Don't fuck with riptides.
>>727760690>what does that meanit means leave you newfaggot
>>727753691To be fair you set yourself up for a moron's reply by not listing the petit monsters which have moeblob "cute" traits they complained about in the first place.Monsters like Mystic Elf and Lady of Faith are more "serene" than "cute", the line only really blurs with dark magician girl from the old-ish era. Harpy Ladies are a smidge edgy. I don't think leading with those examples was correct.There are a lot more cutesy cards nowadays but that's also just because of time. They tend to stick out like a sore thumb and when some of them are meta like Ash Blossom it tends to stick in people's craw a bit.The art design around more modern cards feels a lot more cutesy in nature, not a bad thing by itself, cute can be fine. Unfortunately the more serious cards haven't really left an impression on me in recent days so maybe the cute ones are just the only ones that stick in my head personally. That and Maxx-c through sheer infamy. Just haven't really found nu-monsters to be terribly interesting otherwise, even just looking for designs and not deck-building. It's pretty normal for the art style to decline over time like this. Happens to every IP.
What's your favorite Duel Disk in the franchise? Kaibacorp's hyper-advanced holographic model is really cool to me. Meanwhile the Academy Duel Disk is lame, and the solid-light disks later series use are super lame. No imagination or creativity at all.
>>727763729OG. The angles excite me.
>>727763804You mean the Battle City one, or the spinny top one Kaiba used during Duelist Kingdom?
>>727735862I miss when cards just had simple effects like this. The new cards are always doing way too much.
>>727763854Ya battle city.
>>727755036The art for some of the older cards looks better in the anime and videogames making them seem like they're hiding detail from compression. I did a double take when coming across my Paladin of White Dragon again.>>727755631>A lot of modern cards are so cluttered it's hard to parse at that scale.I thought it couldn't really get any worse than stuff like Guardian Kay'est but I take a break for 20 years and come back to entire landscape paintings being stuffed into this tiny ass box. Maybe they should start printing on tarot cards.
>>727735450*nonchalantly mogs your blue-eyes*
>>727764541What's the deal with this card?
>>727735450ultimate dragon fusion
>>727764593He has incredible potential.
I can't beat Dracotail without resolving Retaliating C. A pop on my turn 1 or getting something flipped face down is just too much. 90% of decks aren't going to be able to suffer through that either.

I feel like playing a modern blue-eyes deck but i don't feel like buying the primite cards ($100-ish engine, 3 structures will cost me $36 and i don't plan on joining any tournaments, i just want friendly duels), can i somehow make it work with just blue-eyes cards? I looked up some deck profiles and the starter to handtrap ratio is crazy, 15-ish engine cards and the rest is handtraps. I brick a lot with my dinosaur deck which is 80% engine, i don't even want to know how bad it'll be with blue-eyes.
