>Want to build Adventure Synchro>Can't afford BaroneIt hurts anons
Would it have been so hard to release like 1 video of a voiced slideshow if they're actually going to support a 2nd format for a year
This will be a good thread.
Genesys is a SCAM. It is just TCG Banlist #2 to make you pay for a second deck.>You can play any card! Just use up your 100 points.Decks that use up 90+ points on engine/endboard pieces cant play handtraps, boardbreakers or staples such as Pots, Allure, etc. Any card with 50 points or more is just a banned card. They don’t have any place in competitive decks whatsoever. If you don’t agree just observe how many tournament winning decks include the most broken Yugioh card in history: Maxx “C”. None will, because 3 Fuwalos for 21 is enough and 50 points for 1 copy of the bug is just a ban on it.>They talked about alternative formats with point caps other than 100 points.The Genesys banlist was clearly desgined with a 100 point cap on it. See weird numbers like Bahamut Shark at 81 points and Toadally Awesome at 20 points. The cap will be 100 points at every official Konami big event. No exception.>Broken cards deserve to be at 100 points to compensate their strength.As I said, this is a ban on them. So this is just TCG Banlist #2. >Even if the first Genesys banlist isn’t well designed, they promised to adjust it in the future based on usage rates!The Genesys banlist will be shamelssly instrumentalized to sell product just like the TCG banlist is. See below. Also, if they barely can manage a 200 card TCG banlist with 4 options for each card (Forbidden, Limited, Semi-Limited, Unlimited) they will not be able to adjust well enough an al ready 500 card Genesys banlist with 101 possible points assignment for each card. Just think about how many banned cards on the TCG banlist could come out. 80+ points cards on the Genesys banlists will take YEARS to get their points reduced to a playable ground (Konami is a pussy, if they go through the trouble to Limit, Semilimit and then Unlimit useless Dragon Rulers step by step they will reduce unplayed cards points 5 by 5).
Man even in Genesys format sharks get fucked lol
https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/genesys-lightsworn-fiendsmith-643693https://ygoprodeck.com/deck/genesys-100-point-lightsworn-643665Found an example of new deck building quirks. Do you go the charge of the light brigade or chaos ruler+extras route?
>>540103229So we know the pricy staples. What about 0 cost staples?Looking a few things up we got some board breaker options in:>Most Kaijus>Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode>Ultimate Slayer>Dark Ruler No More>Spell Card "Soul Exchange"And some handtraps with:>D.D. Crow>Skull Meister>Retaliating "C"And some recursive traps that could end up seeing play like:>Titanocider>Lost WindWhat else is out there?
>>540103609>Dimension Shifter and VSK9 will get hit by upping their points in the future. After that it will be alright!Future TCG releases will include broken Xyz, Synchro or Fusion based archetypes to dominate the format and force you to spend money on them. They will not be healthy and will include negates and floodgates. See Pair-A-Dice Smasher. They clearly hit most floodgates, negates, turnskips and handrips cards by assigning them 100 points but somehow they missed Pair-A-Dice just like they missed Vanquish Soul. This isn’t coincidence. This is designed to be TCG #2 where they will promote the best deck, and they will give it turnskips, negates or whatever it needs.>What about No Pendulums and No Links? Isn’t that at least a good thing for the old returning player?Current card design already avoids creating new meta Pendulum decks. And links are just Synchros without a concern for Tuners and levels. It only takes broken enough Synchros and Tuners to be released to get the same gameplay in Genesys. Old school players won’t be able to tell the difference between TCG #1 and TCG #2 gameplay.>The current banlist has hit many modern decks. And the No Links prohibition helps in that way. Won’t this enable some old school decks to be revived for a Time Wizard-esque format?If they wanted to please old players or create a fun casual format they would have hosted big official Time Wizard tournaments by now. There are fun and casual Time Wizard formats, but instead they have ignored it beyond YCS losers Side Events and they finally gutted it this year to promote the upcoming Genesys. Their only intention with Genesys is to extract more money from your wallet by selling NEW product, not OLD one.
>WAAH WHY NO LINKS AND PENDS!!read
>>540103713>This format is dead on arrival. It will not survive and will end up forgotten as a 1 year side project.Konami has already announced there will be future exclusive Genesys YCSs. Eventually official events will play with TCG Banlist #1 on uneven months and TCG Banlist #2 on even months. Every competitive player will have to pay for 2 decks and every pro and Yugituber will promote TCG #2 on their Social Media.If Konami successfully forced their players to play Tear 0 format or Snake-Eyes Tier 0 format, they will force you to play TCG #2 if they want.Don’t let this scam fool you. Konami is just releasing Yugioh TCG #2 and disguising it under the Casual! Fun! No Links! No Pendulums! No bans! Time Wizard! tags to get retired players and idiots to pay for another deck. Those tags couldn’t be further from the truth.
>>5401032293 ash = 45 pts3 fuwa = 213 droll = 211 belle + 1 veiler = 12Literally winning
How are you feeling about Genesys format?
>>540103868What deck would this?
>>540103609>>540103713>>540103825Time Wizard fans malding already I see.
>>540103714already bullshit with the first bullet point
>>540103906Every deck?You need droll and fuwa to prepare for any form of degen in the format, then 3 ash because it is a good card. The last 13 pts can be whatever
Japan apparently has enough interest in Genesys that a Japanese fan artist translated the point spreadsheet.https://x.com/amemikan/status/1970349042262753718
This format seems like it will inevitably be terribly balanced with hundreds of cards being arbitrarily assigned points. You think Konami can keep an eye on ban/limited/semis? Fucking good luck with points.Then there's also the bit where it just feels like a gimmick. Oh wow, Pot of Greed is legal now guys! Except it costs 30 points. So 3x Pot of Greed, what fucking deck would run this over a bunch of Hand Traps that can cripple a turn?
>>540103975Yeah, the reasons they gave are kinda bad. More likely is what I said at the end of the the last thread:>Links are so generic that I can very easily see them causing problems in choosing between them and main deck cards due to how easily accessible they are. They even strongly compete with a ton of extra deck cards, while being in the conversation for every single deck that can put monsters on board in any manner. Just think of stuff like S:P, Accesscode, and Appolossa are to place.>So Links got eliminated. Now the question becomes do you revert Pendulum to MR3 with special rules for this one format or eliminate it too. With what happened back in 2020 when they revised MR4 so Fusion, Synchro, and XYZ were all free of Links, they probably didn't want to have to deal with whatever Pend had gotten up to with 5 additional years of the Link guardrails, as well as the general factor that Konami really doesn't seem to like implementing special rules on a gameplay level given the whole Time Wizard/Time Travel fiasco.That second one of Duelists who are new to the game may be another factor in the not reverting Pend to MR3, though.
>>540103609>make you pay for a second deck>phantom at 100, nightmare throne at 50>silva at 100 along with costs for fucking dangers.>azamina wf isn't usable due to pts cost on wanted,rcielago and ilia silvaFor what i'd actually care to try in this, it's already slim pickings. Think I'm not gonna bother and just stick to lunalight while testing with new darklord support in usual format.
>>540104154Going firstrun 3 pot of GreedGoing secondReplace them with hand trapsWhat’s the problem
>>540104203I’m gonna run the darklord deck in both format when the new support comes.
>>540104251>90 pts for greed>10 pts for handtrapsRetard anon
>>540104154I can see 1 being used maybe as a spare consistency piece in some lists if you have points to spare, otherwise yeah it wont see use.
Is there a YGO deck building app with the points system built in yet?
>>540104154>This format seems like it will inevitably be terribly balanced with hundreds of cards being arbitrarily assigned points. You think Konami can keep an eye on ban/limited/semis? Fucking good luck with points.So you're saying that we'll eventually get a massive array of points costs that will allow for this to be used for a Yu-Gi-Oh TTRPG - even if some are overcosted?Based.
>>540104251>The total point cost of cards in your Main Deck, Extra Deck, and Side Deck (combined) cannot exceed the point cap for that event. You can't have more than 100 (the baseline) points, in all three decks. >>540104325
>>540103714>Duelists looking for a less complicated game.VSK9 playing during your opponent's turn nonstop disagrees.>Duelists who are new to the game.They can't understand VSK9 chains nor Attribute ratios in their deckbuilding.>Duelists who have always had a favorite Deck, and want their favorite Deck to be a little more competitive.Sure, just let em get Shiftered more than they currently would in TCG or OCG.> Anybody looking for a new experience or change of pace.Let's make the deck that won worlds the best deck of Genesys for a change of pace!>Duelists who love love love a Deck-building challenge.Here, send some love love love to Christian Urena's after you win a tournament with his netdecked list.>Everyone who just can't get enough Dueling!Unless 50 minutes have passed. In that case stop playing and fucking lose, you dueling addict!
>>540104379YgoProDeck's deckbuilder is set up for it if you set the format to Genesys. HTML means it's not the smoothest thing, but it's functional and they've already got a category made for the decks so you can browse through other people's lists.https://ygoprodeck.com/deckbuilder/
>>540104274One i was testing was using fairy link stuff but can probably translate a more fusion oriented one over.>>540104379Looks like it's on neuronhttps://registration.yugioh-card.com/genesys/DeckList/new
>>540104526>>540104515thankies
Dragonmaids having more cost than fucking Dracotail is pretty telling what their priorities are.
>>540104483Doesn't this just die without opening razen or stake your soul?
>>540104483>>540104627Lel, got the wrong image. That was just pure Vanquish Soul.
>Union Hangar is 33 points>more than Pot of Greedum... am I missing something?
>>540104483Vanquish Soul is guaranteed to immediately be hit with all the noise being made about it.Konami fucked up by overvaluing how much Rock matters, but there's several indications there will be monthly updates to this thing.Hell, we ain't even close to the end of the articles they're releasing. Could be some more stuff to be revealed given this is currently all labeled early access.
>>540104761So you just start your k9 combo in this deck?
>>540103714>Less complicated gameVSK9 turn 0 plays among other things with modern day fusion says otherwise. To say less about missing the timing>New to the gameNew players would first recquire an entry point, a cheap one and this format nukes a lot of the good cheap viable decks>Making people's favorite decks competitiveAh yes the blueyes timmy is gonna love to see his deck nerfed coz no link 1, and this applies to a lot of petdecks too>A new experienceAKA slop of the month before format's solved and nobody wants to touch it, see common charity>A deck building challengePossibly the only good point
>Branded Fusion 33>Quem 33>Mirrorjade 33it’s over…
>>540104958Lubellion The Searing 33branded lost 66Blazing 3 for an extra f u.
>>540104957>Ah yes the blueyes timmy is gonna love to see his deck nerfed coz no link 1, and this applies to a lot of petdecks tooNot just that, wishes is also like 33 as well. Think lordly lode is also a stupid amount of points.
Can someone do a Tachyon genesys decklist? Please and thank you.

>>540105595>probably a use for engage/widow anchor/hornet dronesAfterburner? It's a monster pop with potential S/T removal. Possibly a similar though reverse priority situation with Jamming Waves? Engage potentially turning into flexibility with theoretical draw between those two and Widow Anchor's negate and potential steal.
>>540104958No.Quem, Cartesia, Dogmatika Ecclesia, and Incredible Ecclesia have the point value of 3.Which is rather suspicious (new fusion maybe?). Albaz is completely pointless, so a lot of the potential combos you have with Cartesia, incredible Ecclesia, and Quem could open up.
>>540105734>can only run a single diviner with arc light>winnerPick one
>>540105886Arcana force can’t even play in this format
>Synchro Zone has no costWE STILL GOT AT LEAST 1 FLOODGATE!
>>540105595dominus spiral too
>>540106024Aluber is pointless tooGuess they want you to run only 1 Branded Fusion + 3 Aluber
>>540104179And what the fuck pends going do? Summon apo?
>macro is free>d fissure is free>shifter is 5>d.d. ground is 10>dark law is 70is it mostly for the handrip, or is it just THAT much more egregious when hero does it?
>>540106024Could it be due to the Bystials? Baldrake and Druiswurm are both 30 points, and those at 3 points could let you align with the 33 point setting a lot of other Branded cards are on, while also preventing you from using them as 1 point filler with a 99 set.Or it could be like Trudea for Centur-Ion. They aren't the 5 points of Starters or the 33 points of boss monsters, but also aren't the 1 point of cards to stop FTK loops. So 3 point value of extenders.
>>540106573very few decks can special summon macro from the extra during their combo
>Barely manage to build your deck>Have no points left for side
>>540105886cap hero is still hero, they just can't rely on floodgates and dpe anymorethe whole format is weaker so hero can manage without those
>>540106654>Baldrake and DruiswurmDoesn't Branded mostly use Saronir? These two are optional
>>540106538I expressly stated that if Links were banned, their options with Pendulum choice were between banning them too or needing to revert to MR3 exception since Links aren't there for from ED pendulums.And I then mentioned that based on the Time Wizard/Time Travel fiasco and that they are trying to pitch this as partially for New Players, they very likely don't want to declare Pendulums working differently.
>Dandylion not listedhmm...
>>540106834What busted stuff can you do with Dandylion without links?
>>540106797I was looking mostly on a strict threshold basis. Though Saronir is a 20 point, so it also kinda puts them in at a similar point threshold at 32 with 2 Cartesia and 2 Quem which is about what Branded seems to want anyway - even if the lists do tend to have 3 Saronir which would be too costly.
>Ancient Gear Advance 33>Ancient Gear Statue 33FUCK OFF
>>540106789Have you seen the decklist people are making here? You think you summon Stratos and beat over them?
>>540106663shenshen is only 20.
>>540106870I imagine some synchro shit
>>540106789>>540107026HERO has a lot of cards, so someone was able to devise this one on ygoprodeck. Very early one, and I don't think Dark Law is the way to go with its 70 point cost, but HERO really doesn't have that much on the list compared to the number of cards in their pool.
>>540106980You cut Lubellion in this case, right?Both main deck Lubellion and fusion Lubellion are too expensive (30 and 33 respectively)You only have 3 points left after inclusing 1 Branded Fusion and 1 MirrorjadeThank god Albion the Branded Dragon and Albion the Shrouded Dragon are both 0 point

>>540104814A lot of the ROTAs for a bunch of decks are at 33+ for some reason
>>540105595>>light stage + corobane/candina/lycoriswhat does this do with no links?
>>540107259does the tcg not have the new masked hero cards? those are pretty strong and allow hero to have an omni negate without relying on dark law
>>540107574>drytroni'm an idiot and said the wrong ritual deck for some reason. meant nekroz.
>>540107574Nigga Alpha and Mu Beta Fafnir are 33 each
>>540107667better wait for the next battle legend set
>>540107640idkbut it's a free body + mst-lite
desu I imagine they could like, put one of the important Nekroz cards and Vala to a 1 point if Djinn Releaser or VFD become a problem
>>540107742again what the fuck are you going to do with a lvl 4 and a lvl 5 light fairy body with no links that also waste your normal summon?
ocg cucks must be malding right now, they don't get to play the good format and their banlist sucks
>>540108059TCG is good with no roach for years now.
>>540108059They'll get to sit at the civilized table once they put on pressure to get the bug finally banned
I'm not playing the format but I like that it's another dig at pendulum.That's right, you're not even meta and you're still not welcome, no one likes your gay ass summoning method
>Genesysmore like Link and pendulum genocide lmao
>>540107704I was looking into this but found no good way to foolish the djinn
>>540107282Maybe? That sound something that would need practical testing that hasn't really been done yet.I did see someone go the path of Light and Dark Dragonlord over Saronir since that card is also 20 points - looking like they're using the 0 point Kaos Starsource as the 8 Light. So there's a potential route as well.There was also someone who skipped Branded Fusion to keep fusion Lubellion from valuing the recycle ability over the main deck fusion to allow them to more comfortably run Lightpulsar. So that's yet another direction.>>540107667Not just yet. Could be something to look forwards to, though.
>>540071143(Assuming you're Commonwheat) I'm available today from 19:30 to 22:30 UTC
>>540108464Wouldn't a reply to this be like "well you can find rush duel players to play with"
>>540108278If you run Djinn in Nekroz you won't even have points for Preparation of Rites, let alone some sends for Kaleidoscope like Herald of the Arc Light or Elder Entity Ntss
Japs literally do a little dance and pray to their false gods every time they resolve Maxx "C".A little too late to repent now.
>>540108672That wouldn't be a problem if you can reliably djinn lock, plus it's not like there's no way to get to it, for example maximus ED foolish the lv1 infernoid and grab the void spell that foolishes a fiend
>>540108790>maximusNadir is 33
>>540108790If you want to dedicate Main Deck space to foolish Djinn I guess you can run stuff like 3 Armageddon Knight or the combo you mentioned.
>Hidden City 33 AND Subterror Guru 5Oh fuck me man, I'm not going to my pre-Guru lists.>Swap Toad 33, Ronintoadin 60 AND Toadally 20Ronin understandable, but come ON>Gladiator Beast Gyzarus 20, Gladiator Beast Tamer Editor 20, Gladiator Proving Ground 33Gladiator Rejection 20FUCKThe fuck am I left with? Trickstar Droll lock and burn? Yosenju floodgate spam? Lyrillusc? Nekroz Dogmatika? Cyber Dragon? Gren Maju turbo? Dark World? Maybe some Coelacanth mumbo jumbo?
>>540106654I assume it has something to do with future support that would end up making the Ecclesias and virtuous monsters more valuable in the future. Since the new branded lore cards have some suspicious traits going on with them (equal atk and def stat monsters for Dogmatika, which is a feature all virtuous monsters have, ties to Despia aesthetically, and NO LOCKS). The new branded cards benefit Tri-brigade, Dogmatika, and Branded all at the same time.The Bystials were attacked for being handtraps. They barely ever did synergize with the branded tuner monsters in any deck besides the already neutered Runick builds. All except saronir, who has a lower point value of 20.
>>540109060and maximus is 0>>540109064to be honest the engine itself doesn't even have to be nekroz, you could even make do with code igniter summoning firestarter. this would work with armageddon knight + a lv4 extender
so uhh why arahime?
The Tearlaments cope is incredible to see.
>>540109413They meant Ohime. I assume it will be corrected soon.

>>540110045Blazar is a 1 pointer and Crimson 100 though Quasar is free
japan is right...
I just hope they update their genesys banlist once or twice a month
>>540103714This does not fill me with hope for the format.
Worked on my HERO deck tonight. I took a risk and made DPE and Denier take a backseat and the results were... good? Every now and then is still brick city but the deck at its best can work through 3 hand traps which is nice. There are some plays I really like such as climbing to Wonder Driver and Mask Changing to Dark Law and then re-setting Mask Change. Because then I can Favorite Contact in SnW which triggers Furnace who Mask Changes into Atomic who brings back Dark Law if it gets Nibiru'd. You can also use Miracle fusion with Dark Law and Dusk Crow to make Contrast HERO Chaos because Atomic brings back Masked HEROs from banishment as well which is awesome. I think so far my favorite HEROs are Neos Lord, Atomic, and Thunder Giant - Voltic Thunder. Cool stuff.
LISTEN TO JAPAN

>>54011149250, 50 and 0 respectively
>>540111276I wanted to test infinitracks but not having the machine links is really disappointing.
>>540111160Nothing here can go second into itself and I find that hilarious, the whole format could be replaced with a coinflip.
>>540104761PHEW IT'S A GOOD THING KONAMI OF AMERICA GRACIOUSLY SAVED US FROM ABYSS ACTORS
>>540111536Ah penis, then the machina ruinforce degeneracy won't be as consistent
I was trying to make Yugi's deck and I already ran into a points block for random spells.>format supposed to cater to faggot boomers and casuals who think yugioh should be less complicated (they're right)>doesn't even let you cram 1x of a bunch of random good-stuffUnless you had a bot design the points system I don't see how this is good. And some cards frankly feel like they should have scaling costs. Like the first Pot of Greed is just 20 points, then the next is 25, and the last is 30. Or something like that. Because a system like that would make single powerful cards more point-effective, thus technically increasing card diversity (even if people just cram powerful cards). But at the same time that fits (old) Yugioh's theme of people having more 1x powerful cards.
>>540111671Dilate some more lol pendtranny
>>540111972imagine losing to dinomist in 2025 lmao
I wish pends were good

>>540112613No, you can still spam FTKs and build degen boards except now there's no way to stop them, no deck in this format can play second into itself.
>>540109840dis pater + chaos angel turbo lol, so dragonsynchro lmao

I fucking hope and pray this format flops so I can actually play my decks again
>>540112958Most players are brainlets who don't think shit through, just sit back and enjoy the fireworks.
>>540104761>this is 99 points>just playing 3 copies of the goblin biker spell is also 99 pointsWhat the fuck? And we can't even play Terrortop or Tour Guide?
To those people trying to desperately make runick work, let me remind you that metamorphosis costs 10 points and you can use any lvl 2 to sumon hugin.
>>540113221how are you using runicks spells with your MMZ occupied, bub
>>540113274I think you have them confused with Sky Striker anon
>>540113274Thats sky stroker anon.
Okay.>Episode 5: Albaz meets Springangs, cuts off to Dogmatika and them becoming despians>Episode 6: The despians send over big snake. Fleurdelis or Albaz kill snake.

>>540112958>get a resonator core (literally free pointwise)>buy dispater (costs 10 points)>use your hantraps that you see fit since you have 90 points left to work withUnless you dont like king crimson's deck, in which case: fair enough.
>>540112958>RBFucking kek, you just reminded me. KoA makes a new archetype, and you can't even use it in their new format.
Any of the Gate Guardian support given a point value? That's my favorite deck to play casually.
what's the best way to make genesyssies cry over their shit format, and punish konami for creating another shit format? have sex with their wife?
>>540113518I didnt find any so maybe youre onto something, check it out yourself bc i dont play that deckhttps://www.masterduelmeta.com/articles/news/2025/sep/yugioh-genesys
>>540113570>what's the best way to make genesyssies cry over their shit formamake them play it
>heat wave>100wut
Am I being retarded or is Shock Master still fucking insane even at 100 points? There are a fuckzillion decks that can drop 3 level 4s on field without spending any points and handtraps are gonna be far rarerOnomats are unhit besides Paira
literally no one asked for this format
>3 shifter + 3 droll + 3 fuwa is only 57 pointsCombokeks btfo
>>540113858People have legit asked for point systems to be implemented for ages. People have asked for boomer formats that remove pendulums and links for agesThis is literally handing those people exactly what they wanted on a silver platter
>>540113858ecelebs didalbeit only because konami pays them toI don't think all the rant videos about how yugioh needs new formats to survive lately have been a coincidence
Will they make a new anime to shill the new format? Like Speed Duel/Duel Link In YGO Vrains and YGO Seven/Go Rush
>>540113908But point systems are retarded because they rely on the people assigning point values to not be brainless idiots.
>>540113858>>540113908I don't recall anyone asking for points but there have been a TON of people asking for some kind of change
>>540113401you're right actually but for the wrong reasonyou can't use runick spells to summon because the summon must go on the EMZ
>>540114017the poster was talking about using Metamorphasis to summon Hugin insteadwhich still fucking sucks but it is technically possible
>>540113858I asked for it, or at least something similar though that was more for Shit Decks format and it was grading the degrees of a negate card and putting it on the banlist accordingly so shit like Malfunction is a negate that's fine (negates a trap but sets it face down instead of destroying) while any of the solemn shit is too much.This however is too broad and also too damn mismanaged>Banning Links when most shitty decks that according to konami, would be promoted by this format, rely on Links (Prime example: Blue eyes lose their link 1)>Banning pends when outside of Lunalight, nothing relevant uses them>Leaving VSK9 at almost full powerI said this before and i'll say it again, there is no such a thing as a casual player in YGO. Your casuals are just people who go ''mom says its my turn t be meta'' with their hero or blackwing or branded or traptrix or shaddoll or skystriker.
>>540113960No because it's not relevant to OCG. Technically there's nothing stopping them from trying a new shounen anime using rush format, if they really wanted to make it happen
>>540112958>can't use RBlmao konami what the fuck
>>540113960Its a Konami of America creation, so Japan doesn't give a shit>>540114238>>540112958TCG exclusive cards are still designed in Japan right? So they wouldn't have been designed with fanfic format in mind
*wins the next 5 regenesis YCS events*
>>540114163I mean, they could always do it on their own like Capsule Monsters.
>>540114392That was back when the 4kids staff knew how to commission for animation. I doubt the dubbing team who run on autopilot have the know-how these days
Id trust the retards here to come up with a better format or banlist LMAO
>>540113858Killing Links and Pends is utter retardation since the broken Links have already been identified and Pends are absolute dogshit right now
>make new format>look inside>K9VSlmao they had one job
>>540114868But Pendulums and Links are far worse, Yugiboomers told me that Pends and Links are the cancer that's killing YGO
>>540114375Not so fast!
Haha I sure feel bad for those guys who got legacy support in the form of a Link Monster and some Pend Scales...A-At least the meta is being kept in check right guys?
>EDOPro has no plans to implement anything Genesys related>Master Duel is OCG-designed so highly unlikely to implement anything Genesys related>Duelingbook has no plans to implement GenesysThis is how you know this format is going to die, you can't fucking play it anywhere without the trust system and using external tools to actually engage with it.

>>540115229>>540108621t.velleity1
>>540115142That's because outside of Ecelebs who want to free from MDs boot there is no interest in this fucking format.
They're going to adjust the points every month so it's okay
>>540115389Brother if they were capable of making a good banlist every month we wouldn't need a new format at all
>>540115243I also forgot that HEROs and Cyber Dragon are kneecapped due to no Links as wellTurns out a lot of Yugiboomer magnets like to play Links
>>540115541Konami spent years throwing random link monsters at decks as legacy support so now all those decks are completely fucked
Post broken cards in this format
>>540115584Konami OCG had nothing to do with thisIt's all the TCG and their wisdom of not just making this an experimental banlist instead of having this arbitrary rule that yugiboomers even get outside of Pends
>>540115142One Piece has neither of those and it's kicking this game's butt in sales
>>540115824Wan Piss has the Pokemon effect where collectors outweigh the players

Conceptually the slam dunk is Rituals that can be their own Ritual Spell but that is barely explored. Being Pendulums tends to be an afterthought relegated to jamming a second effect onto a card or doing it for thematics or a meme gimmick instead of actually embracing Pendulum.The fact that ZERO Ritual Pendulums can be Pendulum Summoned from the Extra Deck, and only one can be Pendulum Summoned from hand speaks volumes

>anons didn't see the opportunity to become a spreadsheet guru for genesys formatThis is why you guys are not top 1% yet
I'm struggling to find any of my favorite rogue decks that are even playable in this supposedly "low power" format
>>540118573Tbh, the best decks would be those that can abuse 3x shifter I assume
Is Sky Striker playable without links?
>>540118573This. Links have been used as a universal band-aid for a lot of decks that simply cannot compete with more modern decks if said band-aid is removed. Losing Ancient Gear Ballista for example is a huge hit to AG that is made even worse by the fact that Ancient Gears have TWO 33-point cards on the listNot to mention the shit Pendulum decks like Abyss Actor or Dinomist that are just unplayable because you aren't allowed to play Pendulums.
>>540118686Yes as an engine sure.
He won. Unironically.
>>540118729How?
>>540118573So far I've got Ghoti which costs basically nothing, Red Dragon Archfiend (having to choose either Bysitals or Centurion as a supplementary engine, you can't have both). Lunalight I think can be scuffed into working even wihout the Pends. And I guess I could just play Myutants with Shifter spam. But all my go-tos for low power formats are massacred>Evil Eye Links are dead>Altergeist Links are dead>Infernoid Links are dead and TCG is still absolutely insistent that Reasoning/Monster Gate are problem cards that need to be limited/50 points >Weather Painter Links are dead>Goblin Biker has been mercilessly fucked by the points system for reasons I don't understand
>>540118686UTOPIA DOUBLE SKY STRIKER IS BACK
>>540118573once the top few decks get smashed it will be time to play rogue decks from pre pend era

>>540119249kek
>>540116809what do rituals truly need to be competitive?>on field effect>discard effect so they aren't complete bricks in hand>gy effect (again so they aren't complete dead in the gy)>pendulum effect that allows it to ritual summon itself (since pendulums are technically mini spells, also again so it's not a complete brick)
>>540119249>t. AMC player
>>540119362Technically you could just do>good on field effect>Pendulum Effect that lets you Ritual Summon itself>Tribute or GY effect that plusses youThat way the "deck" could be nothing but Ritual Pendulums, you open one, Scale it, Ritual Summon it out and trigger some effects in GY from the Ritual Summon and have a good on field effect.This "core" could be the basis of a competitive strategy as opposed to doing some schizo shit like trying to get a Ritual Pendulum into the Extra Deck to Ritual Summon it to the EMZ to trigger a nuke that you can't kill from

>>540120753RB is bad but like, no one cares
>>540121285yeah i'd agree. Still doing it the same week a major set releases feels strange, people will be figuring out DOOD stuff for the real game and now you gotta juxtapose it with syssieslop if you care about that format.
>>540120927well it cant be worse than the current game because its not ruined by linkslop24 hours isnt enough time for people to start deck testing, especially if they dont have a robust real life friend group to do it with
>>540121817Name the links currently ruining the format buddy.
>>540121817Where are these "linkslop" decks exactly? If it's so gamewarping why are they completely unable to compete with Yummy/K9?
Links ruined the game is such a casual take, it's like when Game Freak believed Dragons were broken and made a whole type to counter it, when no one else but them was giving Dragons retarded stats and broken movepools. It's the company that ruins the game, making every other Link broken/banlist material.
>>540122073The Appliancer Tier 0 meta is only days away

don't all linkslop end on nibiru token lmao
You guys are making fun of him, but that is how an average casual player looks. Those losers couldn't adapt, so they gave up on learning about new mechanics. They didn't put in any effort to get better at the game or were too dumb to become better, yet they didn't have the courage to admit their shortcomings, so they blamed the new mechanics instead. We are now trying to cater to these people

why not just get RUSH duels already instead

Ah yes the boomer format of full power modern meta decks but there's no ash so it's okay.

>>540124867>>simplified rulesNot even. The rules of the game are still the same. Retards can't into Fast-Effect Timing Chart and PSCT.
>>540124518You know these are free in the regular TCG right?
>>540126927Lack of EMZ is a simplified rule, even if not by much
>>540127173You're actually fucking retarded

>>540127270>>540127347?Are you replying to the wrong post? I have no idea what you're referring to
konami still scared of pend 5
>>540127414If you seriously think that removing Links and Pendulums is making the game any simpler you are fucking retarded.
>>540127653I didn't say it was significantly simplerBut objectively removing some mechanics from the game IS simpler relative to not removing them, that's just a fact
>>540123135>Try to cater to casuals by killing casual decks for an excuse to have another VSK9 format
>>540127653ESL-kun, making the rules simpler doesn't imply the game is no longer complex
>>540127653It is what was written though? >>540103714
how would this format actually attract casual deck players? this just looks like meta/rogue players trying to find a workaround
>>540127653>remove 2 whole mechanics, 3 zones and all the rules that apply to the prior removals doesn't make things any simplerYou are the one who is retarded
>>540127759>>540127817>>540127849Fuck off shills.
Can I play cyberdark deck in Genesys format?
>>540127653removing links slows the game down and makes combos more disruptablehaving a inherent way to remove generic monsters off the board makes 1 card combos way too strong
>Plants are genuinely unplayable in GenesysBenjica bros, our response?
The issue I find with Genesys is that it doesn't solve the age-old issue of shit cards existing for no reason.Good decks still exist within Genesys that will absolutely fuck the new shit cards. Just because Genesys exists doesn't mean anyone is going to pick up Leo Wizard the Dark Fiend and start sleeving that bad boy up, because its still a shit card.It still means that a solid chunk of every set is dedicated to unplayable dogshit that isn't any more playable because of Genesys
>>540127867It won't because:>They'll be upset once it becomes clear that you will still be OTKed if all you do is T-set pass>They'll be upset the moment you overlay or tune something >They'll be upset the moment you handtrap them >They'll be upset once they see all the cute girls on your card. >They'll be upset the moment you explain what a chain link is and how missing the timing works.
>>540128093Combos are less disruptable now because you have to dedicate points into engine piecesMeanwhile the pointless engines will just play regular YGO since they have handtraps for days
>>540127985>Can I play x in Genesys formatThe first question you need to ask yourself is "Is my deck K9VS or an FTK" and if the answer is no, then no you cannot play it in Genesys format.
What's stopping me from playing all the 0 cost boardbfeakers, a r4nk engine and shockmaster?
>>540128241>They'll be upset the moment you handtrap themThis
>Afraid of electrumite>Straight up removes pendWhy is poopdulum causing such terror in Konami's office? Is it because the pendulum swing is political or a hypnosis like act is deemed too satanic for the mutt children?
>>540128353there's way too many link monsters that just extend worst designed mechanic ever
>>540127867It's not even a rogue playaround since the meta decks here are just the meta decks past formatsIt's still the honeymoon period for most people so they don't see the glaring problems this kind of system presents since blowout games would be more common because KoA doesn't have the capacity to hit every single card
>>540128582sneed my beloved…
>>540128582We already know what Link monsters to hit anonYou can still do cheeky bans like the Draglubion ban for the 8-axis OTK with Verte and any Fusion Spell
dark world cards got absolutely slaughtered and only sillva deserved it
>>540128740goblins are massacred for no reason
>>540128767goblin bikers are much stronger though, and you can definitely make do with 1of grand entrance
The strongest card in ygo is not a link monster btw
>>540128559Maybe it really is like one suit's vendetta against pendulums and he pulls strings to keep kicking them in the knees with only some mild concessions. Stranger personal motives have happened in corporations despite the assumption that the execs should only be thinking about money in a detached way
>>540127867Im attracted precisely because I can find workarounds to play FTKs
Every card should cost at least 1 point.
why are all the rank ups 1 point?whats the reasoning here?
>>540128559they removed the EMZ so pend 5 every turn would be possible nobody wants to deal with that shit so pend was banned
Why can't advanced format just copy DL's method of banning/limiting cards?
>>540129141>Maybe it really is like one suit's vendetta against pendulumsThere's no 'maybe' about it anon. Electrumite is I think the only time we've ever been given a concrete reason for a banlist decision and its entirely because the guy in charge of the banlist personally doesn't like it.
>>540129246This guy.
>>540103229Genesys is just YGO Smogon
>>540129293point system is much better
The least they could do is make everything based off of multiples of 5.3,7,21, 81, etc is retarded and doesn't make sense and the 1's are pointless. The list also could have been less than 150 cards with more of them being no more than 75 to discourage full engines and allow for some wiggle room for 25, 15, and 5 cost tech cards.
>>540103229YDK to YDKehttps://decks.ygoresources.comYDKe to JSONhttps://dungeonduelmonsters.com/tools/ydk-to-json-converterIt was kinda hard to find those. Anyone know any direct YDK to JSON converters anywhere?
>>540129429ok that makes sense
>>540129504bahamut shark being 81 prevents you to run toad which is 20
>mind master 1>butterfly elma 1>Mirage of Nightmare 10will be freed next list
>>540129659I know. Should be 75/25.Would allow them both to be played but would max out the deck where it cannot play answers or handtraps like other decks. Saying that we can play higher cost formats like 150 or 200 is pointless as well because the system is based on 100 points while trying, poorly, to be a banlist in a "No banlist, easy to learn, low power" format. You can't reasonably think that a deck whose only claim to fame is Bahamat into Toad would be good while Judgment, Imperm, veiler, etc all would be barred from the deck at base level play.The point should be to discourage stronger decks and strategies by stopping them from playing anything but their 1-2 punch at the cost of answers. Not outright banning them via technicalities like going +1 over the deck cost limit.
VSK9 is gonna win the invitational at Anaheim, and then proceed to remain untouched until Killer Tune comes out since they clearly made this format to shill the failed DBP that is Phantom Revengers except not really because Enneacraft is literally banned in Genesys.
>>540130376I think mystic meme might steal a tournament or two.
>>540130509It's 100 points for a single copy, so you can't defend it with judgment.
>>540130645???
If I were KoA I'd be adjusting the points to get anime (and maybe even lore anime included) connected decks like Blue Eyes to move upwards and make appearances on tables
>>540130957how does that sell Justice Hunter packs?
>>540130509mystic meme a shit
>Go on Youtube>See Cuckxin34 uploaded a video about Genesys>Click on it to read comment section>See people saying this is what the REAL Yugioh fanbase actually wantsCasuals are gonna hit the brick wall at top speed and it's gonna be hilarious.
I can't wait to run the most unholy psychic P.U.N.K assault mode slop abomination list imaginable
>tfw I'll be able to play Radiant Typhoon in Genesys for pretty much all of eternity because they'll never get hitFeels good MSTbros.
>>540131175I see this a lot as well. People keep repeating the ''this will be the low power heckin wholesome alt format we all wanted". They all conveniently forget the last 5 years they spent crying about shifter and Mystic Mine.
>>540106145DOOD cards will likely get a cost attached to them soon
>no links allowedSo Ragnaraika, a low powered deck that would love a low powered format is fucked just because yugiboomers that won't even play this cried about blue extra deck cards?
>>540131953they made too many archetypes dependent on link bandaids
Boomers will get raped by handtraps and boardbreakers then cry for them to be banned
>>540132157Can't wait for the eventual X hashtag calling for Charmies, Shifter and Ash to be 50 points a piece only for Konami to further hit Goblins and Memento.
>>540108464At least their staples don't cost $40+ lmao.
>>540131175I keep seeing comments about how this is going to fix power creep and take us back to dragon ruler format They're in for a very rude awakening
Cant wait for all the yugiboomers and tourists to bully out all the retarded yugincels who instantly try to turn this into another socially inept FTK floodslop shitshow
>>540111004Nah dude the people that couldn't understand links will totally comprehend the point system and will absolutely spend money to get $20 staple cards.
>>540132528>He doesn't know
>>540132627I don't think yugiboomers can deal with a K9 Turn 0 combo
>>540132790K9 can't activate Izuna turn 0 if I normal summon Celtic Guardian and pass :)
>>540132790snatch steal/change of heart izuna
>>540113960Oh boy can't wait for the anime where every 5th episode is 20 minutes of filler as the MC has to calculate his point total vs the new list lmao.
>Different Dimension Ground: 10>Macro cosmos:
Did they put the point cost on the wrong Mikanko ritual?
Mikanko deck doesn't even use 3 copies of oohime anymore lmao. And here TCG put cost on the ritual that no one uses
Hear me out, Rhongo + sales ban + Numbers Eveil in Genesys. Broken!
>>540132686Please help me know
>>540131175>>540131659>>5401321572017 Duel Links was literally the perfect format for the yugiboomers. Why dont they make a permanent format like that?
>playset of Quick Launch in a format without any links>this is the same point cost as >>540114375
I'm more excited to see what ends up winning a 0 point format
>>540133928Probably monarch
>>540129487Lolno, points is by far the worst way to do something like this, it's the method that requires the most work, effort and care to actually be usable, three things KoA disdains.
>KoA seriously made a format which shamelessly steals from old yugioh vidya When do we get a format which uses type advantages?
>>540133537>>540132157I honestly don't get how this is so hard for konami to understand. Yugioh's two most popular alt formats are Goat and Edison, and konami don't seem to realise that it isnt actually pendulums and links that are the real difference. It's the slower speed of the formats and importance of the battle phase that's appealing.
>>540128241>fusion only>show up with tearlamentslmao can't wait for the seethe, I bet even with 2 names only they will still seethe
why is dng mind broken over this new format? let them have their fun.
>>540133579broo but your furious dragon control turbo, we got dpe at home bois
>100 points?Why? It's not even a floodgate
>>540135121its an FTK
>>540135121ftk enabler
>>540134976Hey now, they can summon Savage there! He’s not even point restricted, I wonder why?
>>540134960dng was right about new timerules and will be right again about the downfall genesyssies format
>>540135296bro he's 3k, big boi
>>540134960Because I can't not point at a burning trainwreck and not laugh.
>>540135296BROOO HE DOESN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING! This format brooooo 2 years..........
>>540135468>>540135534but current yugioh is fun and better?
>yfw gemini deck still can't win under a new format
>>540135642Define fun
>>540135747A gemini deck couldn't win if they were the only effect monsters in the game
KoJ made Rush and Tactical Try for casuals. Meanwhile KoA made Speed Duels and the Two-Player starter set, and refused to import the two more successful endeavors. I don't think you need to be a genius to see what's going to happen with gensys.
>>540135296Savage is such a poorly designed card. He's basically a vanilla without any Links in the GY and if there are, he always gets at least one negation per turn.
>>540135642juhu format is fun all I want is a decent banlist to clean up some of the bullshit still running aroundnot some retarded gimmick format with shock master legal
That's 2/3 of my points just on 2 ED monsters. Should I just cut Naturia Beast for a Kelbek? And what do I do with the remaining 34 points? Looking at Droplet or Pank or just handtraps.
>>540134960i wanted to have fun but they didn't kill VS so now no one will have fun with it
>>540136013>Orange Light is at 0 pointsCummy
>>540136013How much is the Earth Barrier Statue?
>Windwitches totally unhit>Aleister totally unhitInvoked Windwitches my beloved
>>540136235Finally I can play with a deck that is almost a decade old against VSK9
>>540136235aleister is unfettered ass without a link-1 to use as mat for mechaba
>>540136321>a deck that is almost a decade old against VSK9Yeah Im having fun playing Shock Turbo, Exodia FTK and Mystic Mine against VSK9 :)
>>540136235>speedroid windwitch invoked is a thing
They forgot
>>540136423Shut the fuck up linkzoomer the MR3deities are speaking. You WILL respect the first Invoked fusion to be meta.
>>540135889Isn't Tactical Try format just a more restricted Rivalry of Warlords
>>540136698>MR3deities>raped and mindbroken by a shitter like zoodiac
Why the fuck did the fusions get hit with the point limits. I'd take Memento fusion limit over the monsters
Now that the game is dead, what card game are you moving on to /dng/?
>>540136194A cool 60, so it’s probably not worth cutting the synchros
>>540137161>can’t run more than 1 rat with any xyz, or even any rats with broadbullNah we’re good, also zoodiacs are the prototype for linkcancer like sky striker
>>540137379The Sonic Card game is they release Sally .
What's going on at the Pokémon TCG??
>>540135607bro but you can tribute him for lubellion
>>540137379I'm just gonna stick with digimon because digimon panders to me more by releasing infinite amounts of mugendramon support.
So, has anyone alredy tried Genesys? First impressions?
>>540138096
what are we playing genesys on, db or edopro?
>>540138403Made some meme decks, doubt I’ll actually play it since hazy flames are still better with access to tri-brigade though
>>540138403I tried it almost two months ago when JUSH came out and VSK9 was the best deck.
>>540138140BADONKEN
>>540138532edopro, you can easily apply the custom rules and the decks can just be calculated manually
>>540138514>When this card is Normal Summoned: Place 1 Counter on all other face-up monsters on the field. Monsters with Counters cannot activate their effects, also they lose 500 ATK. Gains 500 ATK for each Counter on the field. When your opponent Special Summons a monster (except during the Damage Step) (Quick Effect): You can send that monster to the GY, and if you do, give control of this card to your opponent.

Where's the Genesys implementation for Neuron?
>>540140035Eh, nothing really noteworthy there since they all do shit like this.
>>540139809Extra deck boss monsters... finally...
We need a DIVINE Charmer.
>>540140464The Link 4 that's just the girls talking
>>540139809They get to live in better decks by being link 2 monsters, that's the best they can hope for.
I sincerely don't get the appeal of charmers. Is it a Japan only thing? Is it the art/because it's a bunch of girls? If so, who cares, there's plenty of female only archetypes. The playstyle? I sincerely don't get it.
>>540140932the link 1 that’s just hiita sucking off inari fire
>>540139809charmers are for sex anyway
>>540140940are you sure about that genesis bro
>>540140969It was one of the first, making them iconic. If they, or something like Striker were released now, no one would give a shit about either.
>>540142119Ok, that's what I thought because there are hotter female only archetypes.
>>540140969they are essentially the DMG for actual players, one of the first game-original waifu series if not the first
Looks like Konami forgot about Trickstar
>>540141178you want to fuck this that bad
>>540142827why'd they give darc a lesbian haircut
>>540142748they just chose to ignore decks that have links and pends its why VS is basically unhit
>>540142748damn bro candina into light stage into carobane into what?
>>540103229How powerful is Red Eyes in Genesys? I figure it'll be the sole player of Dragoon since Ash will be less common and that's literally the only thing stopping it from dropping one of the strongest towers in the game.
>>540143610garbage
>>540143610you can't link off baby metal so its dogshit
>>540108621alright that works
>>540144051Surely there's another dozen ways to send it to GY. Red eyes can summon itself from everywhere, just equip black metal from hand to it and then XYZ it off or something
>Oh cool, a new format I can revive my favorite decks>I think I will play Infernity and Gimmick Puppet ag...>never mindAnother Smogon tier clown format, not playing this crap. Have Tewart's DNA all over it. I didn't check, but Stratos is probably limited too.
>>540143610Anon, just run k9vs. Stop fucking around. Pick a top tier
>>540144673>deck building something that is getting gutted instantlyLink zoomies are so retarded
>>540143610>since Ash will be less commonHeh
>>540135468This general said Ryzeal was trash when they were revealed.
>>540144928>getting gutted instantlynice fanfic
>>540143610Sane people will just grab the handtrap suite, so Ash and company are still going to be ubiquitous.
>>540145201i wasn'tand i was right about the time rulesand when everyone was calling tenpai a shit deck i said it was probably gonna be rogue at worst and likely tieredi think you should listen to what i have to say because i'm very cool and smart and always get things right
>Red-Eyes with 3x Pot of GreedBurn FTK lets go lmao
>>540144051what's baby metal
>>540145589A Japanese kawaii metal band formed in Tokyo in 2010.
>>540145649please tell me, i googled and nothing comes up just fan concepts
>>540145909The 1 star red eyes thing, just look for a 1 star dark dragon on ygo databases.
>>540146121>>540145909The legacy support card who doesn't have a hard once per turn clause.
>>540146121>>540146346thank you, i thought it was a link monster at first
>>540145538Actually yes, this makes sense wtf I'm buying those Pots of Greed
>>540144928>new format is announced>massive initial hype>POGGERS IN THE CHAT and other youtube onions reactions>people realize its just hand traps and whatever works best without links or pendsYou are here.>six months later, people are tired of the figured out meta>konami rushes out a banlist that doesn't solve shit, OR they're attentive and diligent and make some retarded ruling change>"Why Genesys is dead" and other doomsissy shit>format floundersDont even need to screen shot this shit. Happened with UTW, Time Travel, the fucking mini format shit they tried with OTSes, speed duel, that time where they decided top 16 was going to be a draft format in YCSes, the draft formats at all, will happen to tcg ported Rush Duels, etc.
>>540146346>The legacy support card who doesn't have a hard once per turn clauseMUSTBENICE
>>540146960I mean if Konami is to be taken at their word, they plan to update the points values monthly and are going to examine tournament results to instantly snipe dominant strategies and FTKs that pop up.I'm cautiously optimistic because it does feel like KoA actually gives a shit about this format, as opposed to everything else they've done which has ranged from phoned in (non-Time Wizard alt formats) to exclusively propped up by one guy (Speed Duel)
>>540147359And Trust Guardian proceeds to never be used during the WRGP and Stardust Phantom replaces its role instead.
is tenpai strong in master duel?i just beat a guy that played tenpai sky striker and some other stuff, with my neos deckit was fun, do you guys want to see?
>>540147359To this day i find hilarious that every team in the WRGP had a cohesive strategy that all three members followed, every team except the fucking protagonists.
>>540147861What are you talking about? Team 5Ds had the strategy of letting Yusei do all the work and they swept the entire tournament with it.
>>540147861It really tends to be that way in most anime, not just Yugioh. But yeah it's very noticeable here
One thing you'll pretty quickly notice that it is fucking miserable to play decks with only 1-2 searchers. Mathmechs used to only have exactly Alembertian that grabbed any card from Deck, Materiactors only have Zeptwing and Exagarde to actually grab cards from Deck. It's just not a fun experience to have to struggle to find access to your cards especially into interruption
>>540147861>except the fucking protagonists.The more annoying part is that Yusei's protagonist plot armor makes this aspect invalid. Another thing is that the 3v3 WRGP formula makes the duels really long winded and repetitive.
>>540147281If they were interested in making a good banlist to fix the format why would they wait to make a fanfic format instead of just doing that to the real game?
>>540146960the concept is really cool but i have 0 trust in konami being in charge of literally anything at this point
>>540148241It's cool if nobody has searchers, honestly I want to see a custom ruleset with all searchers banned. You want something? Draw it.
>>540148358You can add Jack and Crow to that group. Yusei already Solo'd Team Unicorn and he could have solo'd all the other teams.
>>540148496You mean rush duels?
>>540148402Because its generally easier to do the point shit, and its easier to throw out a bunch of mechanics in a single swoop. Ultimately its an experimental side format. If Genesys flops then they just go back to Advanced and let Genesys die off.Not to mention its easier to hit cards without outright removing the ability to play. Case in point Crimson Dragon. In Advanced, how do you stop people from doing Crimson Dragon into King Calamity? You have to completely remove the ability to play one or the other. Konami chose to let Crimson Dragon live, letting some decks function in exchange for getting rid of a meme floodgate.But in Genesys? Crimson Dragon costs 100, King Calamity costs 1. Now in a regular format game of Genesys, that combination of cards cannot be played together. You don't have the points. Not to mention the simple use of Crimson Dragon is a massive investment by cutting off access to a lot of other good tools. If your deck REALLY needs Crimson Dragon to function, you have it as an option (ignore Centur-Ion ALSO getting points likely because it is engineable so you can't play Crimson Dragon in the "make Level 12s turbo" deck)
>>5401485025D's felt like it was trying to surpass GX's "The Judai show", especially in the former's later parts.
Meanwhile, in that other card game.
>>540147861The biggest flaw with every yugioh anime is the plot is always about saving the world or some drama shit instead of actually getting good at the game and improving their deck.
>>540149043
>>540147359>>540148358Crow’s existence actually does make more sense outside of black wings. Aki never did the motorcycle duels in the first place and the twins were way too young to participate.It doesn’t really help that Aki has an ace card that is completely self-destructive for whatever duels the writers wanted to do.

>>5401489585ds is a result of dark singers being the last pre-planned arc on the show, and the story afterwards got scrapped.
>>540148958Judai made up for it by having character development. Yusei doesn't have a character arc at all in 5Ds and starts and ends the series as a the messiah.
>>540149815But yusei is coolAnd jack is cool
>>540149416Crow also one-ups them on the fact that he's Yusei adoptive brother so he has more reason to stay sround. Aki and The Twins don't have that connection with Yusei.
>>540150262Jack is a goofball.
>>540150714How tall is Jack?Yusei is a manlet so I always assumed Jack was just normal height, but he towers over EVERYONE
>>540151072Jack's supposed to be 6'3 and Yusei is supposed to be 5'9.

>>540151589are bugs even playable without links?
>>540104369cydra can theoretically run 2 pot of greed since infinity's going for 20 pts a piece which imo will be a deck that sees a lot of play in the format.

>>540152813Jack similar to Kaiba climbed from the gutters of poverty into the highest echelons of society, by comparison, Manjoume went from a rich snob to basically disowned loser, no?
>>540152784He has the same aura power rangers have.
>>5401527842000s anime design.

>>540153483
They kept it a secret, duh.
Sorry anon, your Duelist Level isn't high enough to place this in your Deck.
Crazy thought, but what if Konami plans to release points updates alongside new product with Doom of Dimensions as the demonstration, and the reason Vanquish Soul was excluded from this first early access release was to use it as a high profile demonstration? Likely referencing K9 Noroi?
I cannot believe that this new experimental announced as early access format is not perfectly balanced!!!
>>540152963He's not even disowned since he gets along with his brothers again at some point
>>540154247

hand testing genesys decks made me realize that in modern ygo you end up with so much fucking chaff during a line, you just don't notice because of links
>>540156998if firewall is so strong why is it at 3 and unplayed? :^)
>>540157354Oh so that's why Exosisters and the banish floodgates were unhit
>>540129041>The strongest card in ygoThis motherfucker got an errata nerfing him and he's STILL banworthy
>>540157479A bunch of ROTAs (and E-Teles) are just incidentally at 33+, and Glad Beasts is one of the many old ass archetypes I think they hit because of loops? I should probably compile a list of all the random ass ROTAs/E-teles that are hit like Deep Sea Aria or Quick Launch
>>540158091>Rei must fucking die*Dies
>come up with fun deck ideas>just KNOW my locals is going to be filled with VSK9, Dracotail, Exodia FTK and stunshitThis is the worst part about fun lower-power formats, where people distill the fun out of the format until you are left with shit.Makes me not even want to bother bringing something fun if I am just going to get stomped. If I wanted that, I would've just brought the fun shit to Advanced anyway
>>540158398Blaming the players and not konami is retardedThey failed at making a lower power format
>>540158398People are always going to optimize the fun out of things, it's on konami for failing to stop that.
>Rhongo and Gossip Shadow can't be together so they need to add to 101Fine>Rhongo is 31 and Gossip Shadow is 70Sorry what the fuck? How is the mediocre Rank 3 the one being punished here? Haven't Goblins already suffered enough on this banlist?
>>540158481Except even if VSK9, Dracotail and Exodia FTK and shit gets killed off, they are just going to hop onto the next highest power level deck because they care more about winning the alt format game than actually engaging with the format's concept beyond seeing it as a hindrance preventing them from locking the opponent out of the game as easily as Advanced
>>540158398I hate how "lower power format" means "3 decks powercrept 25 years of yugioh somehow, but this time they don't end on an FTK board".10 "interactions" is not all that different compared to a full negate board if your deck isn't printed with 3 effects from hand field grave banish or whatever...Feelsbad.
>>540158614Rhongo is also trivial to make regardless.
>>540128428Nothing. Go for it. The point of alternative formats is to allow different gameplay styles and play patterns to emerge.
>>540158481How can Konami even enforce a low power format? I think the points thing is a good start.. I guess add many MANY more cards at 100 or 1 to exclude them from playing handtraps and techs?
>>540158672>they are just going to hop onto the next highest power level deck because they care more about winning the alt format game than actually engaging with the format's conceptNigger trying to optimize IS engaging with it. If everyone was just gonna bring 7 Colored Fish beatdown you wouldn't need a new format/banlist at all.
>>540142827would obliterate his prostate until he can't do anything but shoot blanks
>>540158812Duel Links style curated card pool.
>>540158672Man that's the thing I hate, how Meta always becomes how to lock the other player from playing. What kind of game design is that crap? At least Pokémon isn't that way, it's mostly about making the biggest monster you can with the most Attack and Health.Add 100 points to floodgates and EVERY SINGLE MONSTER with a negate? That could work. We would be forced to solve disputes in the battle face with destruction and attack
>>540158812>How can Konami even enforce a low power format?Literally just time wizard. Trying to enforce "low power" on modern is always gonna fail because it's the complete opposite of what the game needs.
>>540157641There's a new list every month for this format instead of several months like the TCG.
>>540158481>Blaming the players and not konami is retardedno its not my socially retarded/inept virgin friend, in fact blaming the player is the best way to bully the retarded antisocial smelly creeps into actually changing their behavior instead of instantly scuttling out from the walls to ruin the new format that was solely created to be a fun alternative to the actual cancerous maingame>h-haha i must W-W-WIN at all costs in my negative IQ anime cardshit for kids because I can't cut it in anything actually competitive or skill based
>Tri-Brigades and Spright dead because no links>Dogmatika dead because Ecclesia 3 points Nadir 33 points and stuff like N'tss and Arc Light being very expensive >Branded has a ton of stuff using points from every Bystial to even stuff like Incredible Ecclesia>Swordsoul can't do Tenyi stuff because no monk, Emergence and Chixiao are 33 pointsOnly Abyss deck that survived the list are Icejade and Spriggun
hosting eu casual100 pt Genesys
>>540157680ERRATA
>>540158826There is a difference between engaging with the format and trying to jam a square peg into a circle hole.Bringing VSK9 to a lower power format is nothing short of outright rejecting the concept of the format. They took a meta deck, scraped off some straggling pointed cards, and came out with the same core.They heard "lower power format" and took that to mean "I am going to play the strongest meta deck in the game up until it was hit less than 2 weeks ago".It's the problem with all formats. People can and will optimize the fun out of a format, every format, every time.
>>540152784Best thing from Yu-Gi-Oh R
>>540159065I have played Yugi Kaiba format, where the only cards you can play with are from the starters+Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon, and it's still cancerous.
Triple tactics has too many points for a card that could be a 3 or 5.
>>540149416>It doesn’t really help that Aki has an ace card that is completely self-destructiveThe secondary effect wasn't awful for the time, but this could have been remedied by just giving her an upgrade like Yusei and Jack got to go along with her personal growth. It's actually wild that they didn't give her an upgraded version of Black Rose Dragon that wasn't self-destructive to mirror her turning away from her sadomasochistic tendencies. If Ruddy Rose had existed back then it would have been a perfect payoff to her character arc.
>>540159235Not happening as the only people who still play this game are the ones who want to optimize the fun out of it, no amount of "bullying" is gonna chase them away when they make up the majority of the still active playerbase.
>>540159817thats what this format exists for though, to bring all the dads and normies back into the scene to strangle the life out of faggot nerds who try to strangle the fun out of the game at all costs
>>540149043There's something incredibly soulless about just calling yourself "Spider-Man India" because you're Spider-Man and from India. Did they really have to cash in on the Spider-Marketing that hard?He couldn't have called himself something else or even just gone with "Spider-Man?"
>>540159394Konami are the ones who are making people bring VSK9 if they want to win
>>540159982Those people aren't coming back as nothing short of exterminating everything after Magic Ruler is acceptable to them.
>>540160029It's fitting for how soulless Indians are
>>540103609Do people DON'T know the 100-point cap is just the max. value of a CARD, and not the DECK? We still don't know what's the official max. value for a deck (let alone they're still using the min 40 - max 60 cards in a deck)
>>540160029He doesn't call himself Spider Man India, he calls himself Spider ManBut they need to differentiate him from the trillion other multiversal Spider Men and he's the one set in India
>>540160463>But they need to differentiate himDo they thought? I'm pretty sure the outfit and the fact he's in India tells you enough about him.
>>540160409The standard point max for a deck is 100. It's why cards go up to 100, to force no other pointed cards in the deck.The actual point max is infinite, you can just declare anything from 0 to 9000 (assuming cards don't go above 100, in which case 90 x whatever the highest card point is)
>>540160409>We still don't know what's the official max. value for a deckReading is fundamental
gg anon I really need to practice the vernusylph lines
>>540160741yeah maybe do some hand testing before you host next time lolGGs though, dont forget to check how many points extrav is
>>540150568>>540159798Crow’s real issue is from how directionless post signers is and the writers depended on him to do hold the show together while they had no idea on what to do with Jack, Carley, and Akiza after the tickle cult discovery. They resorted on doing nothing till they can come up with something at the end.
>>540158398Just play with a lower point cap
>>540160823In all my hand tests I hit at least one naturia starter lol>GGs though, dont forget to check how many points extrav isITS FREE LETS GOOO
>>540161081that is actually surprisingmight start adding it to all my decks
>>540160956Convincing my locals to change to lower, or 0, point cap means trying to get my locals to divert from the Konami default as well as trying to beat out the voices of people who are actively bringing VSK9 and such.I couldn't get them to host any Heart of the Underdog for example, so I don't think convincing them of doing <100 points is going to happen
I wonder what the first 101 point card in Genesys is going to be.
>>540161368they've made it clear no card will be banned in the format, 100 is the cap
>>540161682literally who

Anything I can do with Virtual World? Lulu and Shenshen aren't that badly costed, and Mind Master only costs 1.
>>540162331Yes, it's a her, not a tranny, I don't know why this means so much to you.
>>540162486>have you ever left 4chan?I try not to
>>540161682Fuck off Danny's gf, Meimi is /our/ thread darling.
>>540162309The median internet zoomer (and millennial for that matter) is basically an abomination of 4chan culture, Tumblr culture, a splash of annoying SomethingAwful soillennial culture, another splash of sharty culture and a healthy dose of general black culture. It really should not be surprising to you if a random vtuber or yugituber who has presumably used the internet past general normalfag/boomer shit like facebook knows about general 4chan prefixes and suffixes to words.
>>540162486people always say this website is completely irrelevant nowadays but like half the memes and lingo that gets popular was already in use here months/years before it did
>>540114564Retard here with a better format:Get rid of the banlist, make every card x3.That Legends feature that Rush Duel has, will be implemented here, but instead of having 1 Legend (M/S/T) card per Deck, it'll be up to 3 of each, BUT restricted to 1 Legend Monster/Spell/Trap of that card's name (basically the new Limited Restricted-ish list). Can't have 4 or more Legend (M/S/T) cards in Deck.
>>540163385>Retard herewell you're right about one thing
>>540163173To be fair, a site need not live for their culture to be basically universally felt. Basedteens loathe 4chan but their internet culture is basically bathed and influenced by 4chan, Tumblr and SomethingAwful are basically fucking dead sites IIRC but their spirit and influence universally lives on left-leaning twitter zoomers and millennials respectively.
I remembered the time I tested a good gishki exodia sequence and I wanted to reapply it to genesysI was about to give up because the 1 card combo version needs specific link plays, but the deck can also be fine if you just start with 2 cards like here
>>540163640the difference is that 4chan still affects general culture on its own, unlike SA which is totally dead and irrelevant, and most tumblr culture just migrated into twitter or is hyper niche
>>540164028Didn't SA die with Lowtax?
>>540164028SomethingAwful basically completely dominates the millennial leftist cultural sphere, which itself greatly influences left-wing cultural spheres since they are one of its primary content producers. The general left-wing contempt for general anime and Japanese media can be seen as an extension of SA's influence for instance.
Is Judai's anime deck good in Genesys? Vanilla elemental heroes and/or Neo-spacians
>>540157280Hilarious that with Genesys Konami finally admits Pot of Prosperity is more powerful than Greed. Who cares about drawing two random cards (which could easily be non-engine) when I can instead hand pick the best one card starter from the top 3-6 cards in my deck.
>>540164707lmao
>>540164707No, you're dealing with 20+ years of cardboard here, the format isn't casual-friendly even if you murder the top 15 strongest things you can build in it right now.
>>540164781desu a lot of the Genesys balancing around banned cards kinda just confirms what was already obvious with KoA's design philosophyThey don't like omninegates, they really don't like generic omninegates, there are several cards like Elma or Mind Master that they absolutely believe could come off but are either there as like chaff or something for banlist filler, there are cards they see as completely fine save for its interaction with another card, they dislike general floodgate/turnskip shit, but also some baffling shit like the cards that are really high up in point value.
>>540163167>black cultureoh god they kill each other after duels
>>540164781>Multiple modern cards worth more than Greed like Nadir Servent>1 Fenrir is worth a playset of Mirage of Nightmare>Heavy storm is less than StormReally questioning their banlist decisions after they've effectivley put power levels to certain cards. I understand POG and Nightmare would make certain top decks stronger and give them more advantage, but the heavy storm thing makes me wonder if the TCG is even pulling the majority of the strings on banlists anymore. The costs kind of prove that it could have come back years ago.
>>540165242So KoA likes comboslops?
>>540165343KoA doesn't mind if you board-build as long as what you've got on board is just quick-pops, which is hilarious.
>>540165343No given that Junk Speeder and a bunch of old ass decks that have incidental infinite loops are hit, and a lot of payoffs are hit. KoA fucking loves control-based strategies and grindy decks more than they love combo-based strategies. I think they only really like flashy nuke-esque effects and removal tricks, which admittedly, is fair.>>540165330It's probably banlist chaff they keep around to fill up space for slower banlists so you get the impression they're doing something.>>540165315No, they mostly just speak in ebonics. A blend of 4chan terminology, ebonics, brainrot, and tumblr lingo.
my nigga? will be freed soon
Is the new psychic support viable for yugioh genesys?
>Fishborg Blaster at 33Not liking his chances of him ever coming off the banlist
>>540165879unreleased cards (in TCG) don't have point values yet so no ideabut etele being as expensive as it is isn't a good sign
>10 pointserm, gamers? SURELY konami does not think this can come off the banlist...
>>540166047It’s a useful card if you watched yugioh gx :)
>>540166047>unsearchable 1 of that only works in specific deckswhy is this banned again?
>>540166212>1 of
>>540166212It only costs 10 points which means you can run three of them easily.
My only question is, what did Gladiator beast do to Tewart to get 4 cards on the banlist with their link gone? I think the worst thing the decks done in the past 12 years was the Simorgh combo ending on Apollousa. But then the generic links are banned and they have 2 links that are more broken than the cards they have on the list.>Proving Ground ( Glad ROTA) is 33>Tamer Editor 20>Gyzarus 20>Rejection (targeting protection) 20You can't even play it casually in the format without breaking 100 unless you're playing a half assed Edison version and, on a competitive level, they're trash.I would say the same for Six Sam with Gateway/Rhongo being the only reasonable hit since they "Want an easy to learn format" but realistically they haven't done anything either in the past 10 years outside of links. Sad, really, because both decks got support in the past year and this format should be geared more towards them for the sake of selling dead product. I dont know, just rambling, but from a business perspective I would have protected Glad beast/Six since their new stuff is in Supreme Darkness and the set's price is tanked to the grave. At least for the sake of getting singles bought and a few more boxes off shelves.
>>540166212*draws 4 handtraps*
>>540164781>>540165330Pretty sure pot of greed is on the list not because itself, but because it's the perfect "consistency filler" for decks that just need 3 more for 40, but don't want to brick.
>>540166459The most recent TCG exclusive isn't even playable in this format. I think it's safe to say absolutely no thought was put into how it would synergize with recent support waves.
>1 pointits been long enoughit can come backno artmegia/doomz/mikanko isn't suddenly going become t0
>>540166047Actually going to build a Radiant decklist with this and do the old MST trick with it.
>>540165959>unreleased cards (in TCG)Anon that stuff was in duad
>>540166459gladfag here, yeah it's pretty bleak. I don't buy any of their "we tested this for 2 years!" bullshit when decisions like this were left on the cutting room floor. Rejection is barely playable and it found itself at 20 points. It all comes back to imagine you show this format to your Edison boomer friend and he learns GB is hit harder than competitive 2025 Justice Hunters+ decks. They'd just circle back to playing that format.
>>540166831I forgot to add, Glads have THREE link 2s, two of which are extremely essential for the deck to function, sometimes in multiples in Dareios' case to fuel the big fusion. The deck could have 0 hits on the list and it would not have done much to help them, instead it gets 4.
>>540166560>A system we've been working on for 2 years>2 YearsThis means either>A. Jerome/Tewart was getting bullied in R&D by PRE 2024 Gladiator Beasts/Six Sams>B. They don't have access to product to actually test with early enough to make good decisions like this.Either one sucks. Either the people in charge have no clue what they're doing or the OCG keeps them in the dark and doesn't give a shit about them
>>540166047I always thought this would be great to play in Ancient Warriors, unfortunately not having access to DDL makes it not really worth it in Genesys.
>>540166997but VS gets to have none of its cards hit because they lose their mediocre link-1 haha thanks for playing yugioh goy!!!!
>>540166802Do you forget that most people here dont actually play the game let alone buy the physical cards?
>>540164028>and most tumblr culture just migrated into twitterTumblr still exists and also is on bluesky and pixiv
>>540166459Links were the biggest mistake in youtube history, but yeah I too looked at some of those old favorites and all of them got some broken link support to try to fix them a bit...It is rather sad to see.So many of those didn't even have to be LINK monsters, they just made it so for whatever fucking reason.Glad beasts could have just been contact fusion for example, as they should have been.I'm glad they decided to finally admit they fucked up hard, but it also took way too long.So many design choices, like most decks turning into build-a-board comboslop negate spam for years hurt the game in the long run in a way that isn't really reversible.
>>540166831>>540166997I also play and thought Rejection was the trap at first. I had to read it to figure out what it did and realized it was a brick.Dareious and Panther not being in the format kills the decks resource loops, which aren't that good to begin with. And Dragases helped survivability.Oh and Terraforming can't be played to help get your field spell due to costs, and the deck still auto-loses to a single Ash Blossom.Thank you Konami. Very Cool.
>>540165330fenrir should be worth more33 is too low for that piece of shit
>>540159458Alice Margatroid
Aren't Glad Beasts pretty dependent on their link monsters to actually do things by modern standards?
>>540166802oh lmao for some reason I thought it was DOODI guess because I haven't seen a single person play it yetdid it really flop that hard?
>>540168489They need their new one at least.
>snake eye without links>still expensiveI don't get it
>>540168618they want people to actually play the format
>>540167495They have Links entirely because of the MR4 changes. Looking at the Links from that period that have effects to move from zone to zone basically tells us that at the time they expected all the changes to be permanent.
>>540167495The thing that sucked the most about links is they were supposed to slow the game down. They didn't, forced us to buy new cards to keep our deck running, even casually, and made MR4 miserable due to the insane powercreep they had like Scapegoat in EP being an insta win.Now they're settled down, a bit, to where I don't mind them as much. But it's crazy that they and pendulums more or less ruined their own formats, got the worst bans, and the most errata's. Just realizing Konami fucked up and tried to fix it with a bigger fuck up only to fuck up tremendously again.
The TCG exclusive bandaid support set for a bunch of non-Link decks fucked by the lack of Links and also some other decks too because why not
>tenyi spirit ashuna 33 pointsthe fuck did he do?
>>540168790>The thing that sucked the most about links is they were supposed to slow the game downThis was YGO ORG propaganda. Konami never once made this statement.
>>540168927Random starter hits for a bunch of decks
>>540168790>The thing that sucked the most about links is they were supposed to slow the game down.This was never true tho, the ones who believed it changed their minds quite soon

>>540169356What’s the fusion deck?
>>540169459tear?
>>540169356If you replace "link" with "link1" that's an objectively correct statement
>>540169356except LINKS ARE indeed INHERENTLY UNBALANCED AND UNIQUELY BROKEN
>>540169356Because every deck uses Links, not just link decks.
Just saying I've never met a TOSS player in real life.
>>540169564>appliancer tier 0
>>540169356No one will give you a coherent answer and that's because they can't.
>>540169549Tear used the most broken XYZs, Synchros, and Links to make itself ultra consistent and merge with that stupid earth fairies deck.
>>540168618Because they are good as rank 1 engine
it's by far the most generic mechanic lmao how can you say it's not broken
The biggest mistake right now is the bastardization of the Extra deck. I feel like card types matter anymore, I've been traumatized by snake eyes white forest diabellestar Azamina dropping every card color on me.Do they even have a lore reason for this or is it Konami being cheeky? Like I could understand Utopia or Galaxy Eyes using XYZ as their mechanic because they combine like mechas, or Blue Eyes fusing because 3 dragons make a 3-headed dragon (or... I guess Synchro because white dragon = white card) but newer decks just cosplay as Z-Arc fusing the dimensions and use nearly every fucking summoning mechanic
>>540168785>they expected all the changes to be permanent.Well yeah. "Master Rule 4" isn't what it's actually called, it's "New Master Rule"
>>540169937I can guaranteed you that outside of mirror match I wouldn't need to use any xyz, synchro, or link to 2-0 other decks. Maybe a bagooska if I get shifter-ed and have no orange light in hand but that is it
who's still bitching about muh generics now apo is gone?all the other good generic links are going 2nd options, SP, Accesscode, Goddess that are objectively a net positive on the gameI guess IP is the only one left thats an endboard piece and you wouldn't hear any objection from me if you banned her too
>>540169356Because when the game was dying in 2018 konami decided to powercreep everything via links.
>>540170294Why, because your cards are the worst designed pile in the game.
>>540170267it all went downhill with synchro
I give this format 6 months, then good luck updating the whole list everytime they release new cards trying not to break the format
>>540170267I'm only seeing Fusion/Synchro in WF Azamina decksWhich makes sense lore wise Goblins were the Sinful Spoils XYZ archetype and they don't get splashed into the lorepile.
>>540166047I don't think that is the intention behind the point system at all. The point system is meant to foster new and different styles of gameplay that AREN'T balanced like Advanced Format. Let some crazy shit happen for once. All of those cards rotting on the banlist deserve their days in the sun after being locked away for so long. Like 80% of the banlist could realistically come off tomorrow and it would mostly lead to experimentation and the existing top decks being bolstered. A few janky FTK decks would crop up, but how much would truly change? A point system fundamentally shakes up the format of the game far more than banning/unbanning would because it also effects cards in combinations rather than in a vacuum.
>>540170568late synchro/early xyz was still decentthen the march '12 nation attacked...
>>540170870>*Negates your heavy storm
You know they didn't put and thought into this when a lot of point combination end with 99 instead of 100. Like what the actual fuck
>>540165242elma isn't in the first category, it'e in the second. it's priced at 1 so you can't run it with royal magical library which is priced at 100.

Summoning shouldn't be so easy. There, I said it, this is my brave discovery and I'm not being ironic. I don't care if it's Links or something else, I hate how easily Branded just drops gigantic fusion monsters on me every turn. >>540171034... Now check that some cards cost 1 point. It's just so you can still play 1 of those.
>>540171228>>Has the most bans on the list currently for ED monsters at 22hard to take that list seriously when it includes Electrumite, Goblin, Mermaid and all the other shit that has no business being on the banlist in 2025
>>540170267Summoning methods don't matter, they stopped mattering a long time ago, every deck will use everything they can access to win.
>>540171257Oh I'm sure I will want to include a rank up spell or light barrier into my deck, anon. (Are you stupid?)
>>540171228Half of these could come off the list and have 0 meta impact. In fact most of these ARE legal in both other formats and doing nothing.
>>540171585i can be trusted with linkross. free him tewart

Zenmaity was never the problem; Hunter was the real problem. Bahamut Shark could easily come off if people want to spend room in their extra on Toad.>banned SynchrosMost of these can stay on here just because super generic negates and turn blanks are annoying, but it'd be funny to have Chaos Ruler back just to see what people do with him.

>>540168785That, while true for some, it isn't the case for everything.Honestly MR4 is a crystalized absolutely obvious version of what I mentioned.An entire era of bad decisions that they stuck to instead of axing it on day 2, it festered long enough that the damage can't be undone, only mitigated to a degree.>>540168790I feel like links have no purpose. They should have never been made at all.I can sort of justify pendulums, but only when you consider archetypes like Centurion. That is what they should have been closer to.Early pendulums, if not for the select few busted ones would have been fine, but the designers got spooked.If we had the designers and their experience we have today back then, they could have made pendulum great.Perhaps pendulums worst part is ironically the pendulum summoning gimmick itself.
Game should've stopped at xyz
>>540168790>they and pendulums more or less ruined their own formatslol? most pend decks sucked ass, pend era only had just 1 game-ruining pend deck and it got nuked instantly, the other decent pend decks were just that, decent
>>540172037That is mostly because at some point konami decided to never make any real pendulum shit anymore.

>>540171938the one thing master duel does right is unhitting terrible cards that have no place on the banlistremember when tcgniggers insisted having verte and dragoon/DPE legal at the same time would be an apocalypse? and nothing happened
>>540171938Maxx C should have never been banned, it being free on Master Duel is the ONLY reason my Toons can climb to Gold even against modern decks. If I go 2nd and get enough draws for a meaty starting hand I can catch even top decks offguard. Otherwise I would have lost on the spot. Yugioh is binary enough even without Maxx C you can lose turn 1 and just surrender, it adds a little variance
>>540172447this, but unironicallyritual, fusion and tribute summoning was enough
>>540172632YOU HAVE 9 FUCKING MULCHARMIES LEGAL HERE
>>540172780I liked synchros, and if the game was slow enough that materials actually mattered in a longer game XYZ would have been fine as well.Everything being some flavor of contact fusion would have been lame.
>>540171034So you can slot in a 1-point card.
>>540172896Mulcharmies are a lamer Maxx C divided into multiple cards & way too expensiveMaybe if they were common I'd just adapt but for now they're a pipe dream (and worse than the common roaches I have lying around that I can perfectly play in Master Duel and OCG)
>>540172171Links were the biggest mistake Konami has ever made because they designed them as if they were never going to lift the MR4 restrictions, powercrept the game a ton due to it, and then lifted the restrictions and left the game in a worse state than before. I'd argue that even adding the EMZ was a mistake because being restricted by board size was a real problem sometimes, and the only decks that get a benefit from it are combo decks.>I feel like links have no purposeThanks to them we have more position-based effects, but Konami is shit at balancing and most Links don't care about their arrows.

>>540172632maxx should be banned so that you learn how to deck build
>>540173031>Everything being some flavor of contact fusion would have been lameeverything IS some flavour of contact fusion, the only real difference is the card boarder
>>540173886Neos and Glads were ahead of their time
>>540174091XYZ Dragon Cannon
>>540173886White cards pretty.I rest my case.
And also anime/manga Valkyrion.

>>540168790links never slowed the game down, zoodiac still reigned supreme until spyral double helix and knightmares + tribgate wizard + firewall looping trickstars infinitely
>>540171701>>540171774there is legitimately zero reason for linkross to be banned without halq. i honestly feel that the biggest reason that more people AREN'T arguing for its return is that they just forgot about the restriction it puts on the tokens it makes. so you're not using it as free link material, and without halq engineering the perfect situation to use the tokens as synchro material, any synchro applications are going to be deck specific, and certainly not a big enough problem for it to be banned. so what else can it do besides synchros? well while it might not be free link material, it is free tribute fodder. go ahead and try to break that, i dare you. and it's last real application is just as a link 1 to do the whole link 1 thing and send any link 2 or higher to the gy for free. and i really don't think there's anything that that would be broken enough with to make the card banworthy. so really, without halq, it's certainly not a bad card, and it would likely see play, but it's definitely not worth banning. is what i would say if yummy didn't exist. linkross would have been completely fine to be freed at literally any point between halq's ban and yummy's release, but now it's for the best that it stays dead.
>>540169937tear literally just in engine destroyed everything else with fusions only, they only needed xyz in the mirror
>>540170267it's all cheatsion fault>can just shit out any fusion by sending a s/t to gy
>>540171585freegumblarevery deck can 1 cardcombo nowadays lmao who cares about handrip for 4
