>>583490261London would need more than a few cards.

Why not just use /vm/ or /tg/?
>>583538563people don't even look at those places for yugioh.
>>583534468unamused fox.
>>583486282so, duel links getting any updates?
>>583561616Nah.
>>583550964In canon, these girls are too young to be wearing bras.
>>583538817/tg/ already has a general. So in reality you are just hoping to leach off /dng/? Then have /rdg/ linked in the OP of /dng/
>>583561616Nope. That's even deader than dead in both sides.
>>583561616Massive update: a character put on a coat.

>>5835932282 more months of duel links!
>>583561616They deadass no-efforted the fucking 10th anniversary. No new world is one thing but not even a world update like last year. They just passed out six alt styles and then threw a new Speed main box at you and told you to buy. Fucking cocksuckers will do as they say but I'm reaching the end of my patience.
>>583600812Built for Rook
>>583603667We still have such exciting features as "character puts on a helmet" and "character that is just a combination of two other characters from the game becomes those two characters uncombined but not the uncombined versions that are already in the game". Truly, this is the most exciting time to play Duel Links.
>>583617298it is a wonder how the gacha model ever succeeded in the first place.

The true villain of Yugioh is Konami.
Someone give me the old dlsg general # and I'll make a thread on vmg
>>583631202eh, it would be worse if it was still under bandai.
>>583488595need a yuna pack.
>>583632770#2570
>>583603856I'm still having fun but anyone who thinks they're still putting effort into this game is just coping hard. I was already relegated to just spending money on Structure Decks and GURs, but last year was when I decided that I'd never spend money on the game again and only play what I got for free.
>>583620767Yu-Gi-Oh fans are fucking whipped, that's why. They've already demonstrated that they'll put up with any abuse and Konami has them on a leash.
I really hope we get a rush game outside of DL sometime soon. Its not that I hate DL Rush (I actually quite like it) but being tied to a community that barely makes content for it blows. Speed could be in the worst metas imaginable and you'll still see more events, discussion or tournaments for it than Rush during its best times. The gamemode just cant grow while being tied to this game and its community who barely care for it
>>583647798Duel Links is just an outdated game in general that's showing its age. The box system probably seemed like a cool novelty in 2016 because "wow it's just like real life", in 2026 it feels like ass knowing you have to dig multiple times for shit ass rates with no pity when you only want 2-5 cards
>>583647798Do you have a Discord, anon? I dunno if it'll help your fix, but my buddies and I play each other in Rush tournaments weekly. They're not "big community" tournaments with entry fees or prizes for winning like Dgayed's lot, just the same eight regulars.
We finally did it speed sisters we finally fucking died and have to move to gy with the rest of the games no one cares about anymore >>3032621>>3032621>>3032621
>>583658949Eh whatever I fucked something up , it's 1 am and I'm sleepy , migrate or don't idc
>>583486282How has this joke not died yet? Its been almost 2 decades.
>>583662358Rush Duel has existed for way less time than that. And Yugioh in general has existed for longer than 2 decades.
>>583662358yugioh still sells
Are we really only getting the DM alts this anni event? I thought we're getting GX and 5d's too...
>>583675004they're in the following weeks
>>583675004The DM event runs for half a month, then GX for another half a month, and then 5DS will take up the rear (just in time for another box featuring Yusei and Akiza cards). Enjoy your censored Jaden/Yubel and Akiza cleavage erasure.
>>583678616Thank God my app is in Japanese...Glorious OCG art and female cleavages galore
>>583662857This reminds me Rush is already 6 years old. Damn time really goes fast.
>>583689891Are we at the point yet where Sevens anime support would be considered nostalgia bait?
>>583700338Sevens was basically nostalgia bait since Go Rush.
SEX
>>583709150Kinda sad Konami did Sky Striker first in Chronicles. Would have liked Roze in Rush.
>>583713707I would still rather play as the NPCs than the DOMA idiots.
>>583714483Armor dude.
>>583718030I legit remember nothing about that guy's love story. I feel like almost the entirety of his character hinged on the forced love triangle with Mai and Joey even though Mai never even once showed interest in him. Also, his deck is boring as shit and isn't even printed. I'll never understand why there's people who want an archetype where all the monster cards are things like a helmet or a glove. Phantom Knights is already that except actually cool. So, yeah, I'd even pick David before that guy. Fuck that guy.
>>583720335I meant to say "backstory", not "love story". Anyway, whatever his backstory is, I'm sure it's dumb as hell and riddled with plot holes like the others.
>>583720335>I'll never understand why there's people who want an archetype where all the monster cards are things like a helmet or a glove.power armor dude, power armor.
>>583732082Yeah, but it's not like you're actually going to wear them like in the anime or even assemble them into anything. It would just be a card with a lifeless helmet on it. They did the same thing with Meklords later on and it still sucks. Do you think that those Meklord parts cards are cool and exciting? No. No one does.
>>583709150the clone is better.
>>583768961Unf...
Sex with Romin
Sex with Roa
>>583723750Always find it funny how Nanaho debuted in a random episode and she was just there in the background only to suddenly be the mastermind behind PLOT
Sex with Manya
>>583781482just bits and pieces.
>>583785213I find it funny how half the fanbase assumes she's got a closeted crush on Yuga and the other half assumes she's a closeted lesbian for Haruka. Come on dude, are they so attracted to her that they can't fathom the possibility that she might not be into anybody?
>>583790043Dude, she fucking blushes at Yuga and things about him multiple times. It's not subtle at all. There's a reason it is Yugas most popular hetero ship. Haruka x Yuga on the other hand is pure reaching
>>583790043Brown tomboy and nerdy shonen is just peak, simple as
>>583790043It's not closeted. It's pretty obvious.
>>583790043She's literally obvious enough about it that almost everybody stopped shipping him with Romin - who is still the most popular girl in either Sevens or Go Rush - and got on the Asana train. Closeted my ass. She's the most obvious girl to not outright confess to a crush since Yuzu.
>>583797393>>583813480Yuga's only destiny is the Otes mask, guys.
>>583813480It was pretty funny how Luke said that Romin was stalking Yuga because she was a spy when the reasonable conclusion would be that she had a crush on him and then Luke turned out to be 100% correct.
>>583832383>and then Luke turned out to be 100% correct.Like clockwork.
>>583846293But Romin doesn't have a crush on Yuga
>>583854628Yeah, that's what Luke was right about. She was stalking him and taking pictures of him because she was a spy.
>>583854714Oh I'm retarded
>>583733659meklords also look cool.
>>583863737They look cool when they're whole. The cards where it's just the head or the arm look lame.
>>583858507>make cool avatars and other assets>never use them againPain
>>583501590>>583528870maybe they'll finally show what treasure they're trying to take out of tombs.
What a trip to the past! I remember when i got super into Luke x Romin, half into SEVENS. I am happy with how the series ended, with their relationship pretty much set in stone. I wish Go Rush!! could have given us something more with these two, but oh well. If a third Rush series happens, we might get a 200 years into the future plotline with their descendants............who i am kidding; the anime will never come back
Never ever
>>583878701Why in the world would you trust tv tokyo?
I wish they would support Rush more. I want Rituals already. Millions of things they could have done for a massive update and instead we get three fucking alts. Not even Yuga and Luke alts that have been in the files for ages
>>583884778yugaman (evil)yugaman (classic megaman)
moshi moshi
>>583909843desu desu
>>583884778They could add things even without rituals. They just don't seem to want to.
>>583868436just wait until they need to make a new game after the tag force 6 remake, they'll have to cycle in newer assets eventually.
>>583909843wonder where he is now...
>>583884778I appreciate that they go slowly and only add things in Deck Building Boxes and mini boxes. Rush is not only the better format but AFFORDABLE to even a f2poor and I like having time for metas to settle. I wouldn't mind if new minis were every other month or just a little faster, but the current suits me.
>>583957264I would be fine with it if it was at least super-mini boxes. Or if they made sure that the 6 - 8 new cards in the deck build boxes were viable by buffing their decks instead of being the product release where low rogue decks go to die.
>>583928438They are dragging the shit out of Duel Links with alt styles to avoid adding new characters due to there being no new anime (so no new world). We still haven't gotten Rovian in Go Rush.
IT'S OVER 9000https://duellinks.konami.net/att/05acd6a2ef55ecb7b85b98dc45d882de0b0973375e
Haven't visited dlg in forever but I come back to find out that the general is 100% deadSo instead I'll post this bullshit here and hope some of you get a good laugh oit of this
>>583984291Part of me wants to say that it's deserved for trying to build that shit ass scumbag deck but I do still feel bad for you. The box system is such a cunt.
>>583984291How many loading screens?
>>583997560I dont really follow the OCG much, but has Space Yggdrago ever gotten any good support past Chaos Femtron?
>>583997991no.
>>583997560What a dork.
>>583486958that's me!!
>>583999091Damn, that's really unfortunate that it got left behind
>>583997991The last card it got was Space Folnir, which is a low-Level 0 DEF target to recover with Seed Driver (beyond the Yggdrago Maximum pieces) and protection against Shiny Shady.
Why did they stop the anime?
>>584032789It's just not a justifiable expense to produce. Duel Masters went the web OVA route, and other TCG anime were always seasonal. According to rumors, even Pokemon, which is the biggest IP on the planet, is giving up on weekly anime. For Konami's part, they probably see the game as sustainable enough, and for Shueisha's part, Yugioh was already a legacy franchise and they're content to just coast off merch.
Alt Style Sprites from the Website. Surprised Aki was not nerfed
Do you guys think we are ever gonna get the alt styles of the sevens gang timeskip?
>>584034990They want to use her to sell the Rose Dragon cards. When they've been in the meta long enough - POW! They'll hit the cards and censor her at the same time.
>>584034990>Zane instead of AlexisSad!
>>584035750God ponytail Romin alt would be so based
>>584037414It's the one from S1 before he got brain damage, so at least he'll have different personality.
>>584010356so CUTE!
I just now realized that Titanic Galaxy is out of limit 1 hellWhich is to say..Tachyon bros, we're so back!!!Galaxy Photon's also stronger toohttps://duellinks.konami.net/att/07e48234da3f21d7c3a2b681a05f47c55d28a6e378It feels so good to pull the Galaxy Spiral in Titanic Galaxy bullshit once more!

Wrong prismatic konami , I wanted the regular one prismatic not this.
>>584073359At least I have two copies of her prismatic now
This time I got KoG with YuhiHere's the rank up replay. https://duellinks.konami.net/att/060f8b246dd5ce79ab19ee1e28a4e35d186ec1edea
>>584074249Here's the deck listPretty standard. Not having Kong and Pot of Greed compete for limit 1 spot is nice. Would've been nicer if Card Trooper wasn't limit 1 as well.
>>584074249>>584074707pretty cool. how was the climb? run into any of the divine ace stuff?
>>584076693I did most of it before the wyrm nerfs, so I ran into a LOT of themEven then there were quite a few Divine Ace decks, and they were quite annoying tooFrom gold 1 to 5 I used pretty much just Gradius, and after trying to get the KoG streak with Chemicalize and getting frustrated decided to dust off Jointech, and it worked pretty well, even if the meta isn't that vulnerable to stegosilos atm.
>>584037414is she supposed to put on her harpie costume or something?
>>584086814Correct.
>>584088550Failure of a woman who both lost the guy she liked to a tranny monster and was too blind to appreciate Manjoume. If she ever gets an alt style it should be as the card Yuri turned her into in Arc V
>>584093858>auditory hallucination yubel>ojama man manjoume
add maxx c to rush duel.
>>584088550she should put on the idol outfit instead.
>>584003408the smartest dork.
>>584093858KEKAROO Based beyond belief
>>584093858Nice tits. Amazing thighs. Retarded woman. Many such cases!
>>584098756To what end? you already draw up to 5 every turn and not a lot of decks special summon that much to make it worthwhile
Jaden and Zane this week. Thank God I managed to complete my hero deck in time
>>584139120In time for the event? It's a raid duel. You're not going to play it manually, are you?
>>584139120>RAID DUEL Fuck's sake, the one event type that I can't create a sequence for with my auto clicker. Guess I'm just doing the bare minimum with this one.

>>584221520We NEED genderbent Scud in the game.
>>584184694Their designs are kinda disappointing ngl... Amelo is still the best.
>>584233639Run-babu.
>>584227963Agreed. The new ones just kinda have weird feet but don't look as interesting as Amelo. Only interesting thing is that Fitz appears to be wearing that artificial gill from the Kickstarter scam.

>>584274702Was it ever explained what sort of power brought that change about? We know Luke has some ancestry with Lugh, but Rovian must have had some unusual lineage to have this trait and pass it down to her own descendants

>>584292481They know their audience well. Although the ritual alt arts were way more cute.
>>584291653They alse made each of the cartoonish planets women.
>>584293989Except Earth. They fear Moonforce and don't want to give them another Earth Galaxy monster. Or maybe it's because it's unambiguously male.
>>584294579The Main Deck ones are alt arts. Except the new Level 9 which represents Pluto. Only Neptune is left.

the future of classic cards.
>>584299546They've been doing things like this for years. They even do it in TCG. Called by the Grave got an alt art featuring Live Twin just in time to get banned.
Mooyan Curry bros when will it be our time?
Haven't touched rush for a year outside of seeing the later card arts, thinking to go back playing edopro when i don't have anything else to playDoes konami still doing tier 0 structure deck bullshit? last time i played monarch was just as godawful as tier 0 magician ritual deck eraWhat are the current spell/trap staples?

So in some DL news, both the Jaden and Zane alts have lots of new voicelines matching the characters attitudes from Bonds Beyond Of Time and S1 respectively. Also new rewards in the Duel Gate. They replaced Yubel's VA and going by the data mined, Obelisk Blue Syrus is coming as well as Atticus. Very likely for the February cross promotion when GX Tag Force releases
Also, Rebecca getting an alt, probably the look she had in the World Championship arc and Rush Ritual Summoning tutorial test info meaning Rituals may be coming sooner rather than later
>>584336490The fact Konami is finally touching cards from the last Kuaidul Duel makes me wonder if we are getting Diskarma "soon" (many months later).
>>584336490They should have released the Rebecca alt early so that the rest looked relevant by comparison.
Swimsuit alts let's gooo
>>584358735summer 2035.
>>584335565>They replaced Yubel's VAwith who?
Yubel's new VA is so inferior, doesn't sound spooky at all.
>>584373262Haven't heard it yet. What language did they change the VA for?
>>584365680The same VA who makes Bulma's Japenese now. Previous one used to voice the character so I guess Konami believed replacing another one of her characters would be fine
>>584379176oh sailor mercury.
>>584388120Truly the cutest way of causing unimaginable disaster.
>>584291657but it's light.
>>584398738Light is evil pretty often in Yugioh.
I am glad they cleared up the question of how the Skyscraper bonus works on the non OG heros
>>584184694what's special about the one in the chair?
>>583486282which one is the smart one?
>>584291657SOUL

Bros... I'm growing weak. I'm seriously considering buying the next box because I want to play Akiza and her deck... even though I mostly only care about Rush...
>>584428738they should just add synchros to rush duel.
>>583486282so when do the classic characters get to play rush duel?
>>584428738Just play both bwo
*jiggle*
>>584450580Yuribait whore
>>584377491https://x.com/MTK_YOMI3/status/2109927367091290464
>>584435808But Akiza's and Atem's decks are the only Speed decks I even want to play... there's no point in it long term for me
>>584428738It's not like we're getting Rush content for a while. And once we do, you'll have months to catch up because they'll go back to not releasing anything for a while. Might as well just play what you enjoy. As long as you don't spend money, it's fine.
>>584428738Be honest. You were bewitched by Aki's fat tits and biker suit, weren't you?
>>5844591585DS was my first YGO anime. I won't be ashamed.
>>584461592>excellent introductory arc >good redemption >first outing alongside the good guys was cool >banger design both in witch mode and as her true self Sucks that she became a benchwarmer but she's still one of my favorites
>>584481443When did she get a redemption? She had a habit of going to the duel street and harming innocent people and instead of atoning for that, they simply decided that the people who disliked her for being a dangerous cunt were the ones who were in the wrong.
>>584428738I used to play only rush until I saw how cheap HERO with Dragonic Contact actually was and got KoG twice with that, stopped because it became too hard and I didn't want to spend any gems at all I'm speed and actually invested deeply into a deck when Nash was coming out, getting a KoG with Merag's first skill while waitingI'd absolutely invest into Sharks or Merag.dek again if they got new support, and I'd try to get KoG with them again, so I get what you're feeling
Cloud City Rush #42:https://www.twitch.tv/monosync
It’s annoying when you come back after not playing for a long time and all the farm related cards are from boxes you missed or level up rewards from characters you don’t give a fuck about
>>584486969Cards for farming? The current event is a raid, so you can throw together whatever and send it off to die. You don't need to win raid duels. As for farming the new Judai cards, the old farming strats don't work either because he has some annoying cards that will kill you if you try to stall. Unless you're very low on keys, it's better to just bring your best deck and beat him at level 40 until you get the card you want.
>>584483130>they simply decided that the people who disliked her for being a dangerous cunt were the ones who were in the wrong.No? The only people who were considered at fault were that were the people who treated her like shit before she even lashed out at anybody, like her father, and he did eventually apologize.
>>584495097Sure, her father was an idiot for sending her to Duel Academy, the one place where her powers were guaranteed to cause harm. But she was also a terrible person and they never acknowledged this. She didn't earn the reputation of being a witch by just standing around being a speshul little snowflake. She actively participated in duels even though she knew that innocent people would get hurt. And she never apologized for that. Compare her character development to Jack, who actually had a moment of introspection and realized what a farce he had been. Aki's character arc hinged entirely on the fact that she found people willing to accept her for who she was, even though she was a sadistic bitch who deserved all the hate she was getting.
>>584497064She obviously came to realize that what she did was respond, but what exactly were you expecting her to do to "prove" that? Were you expecting some montage of her going around the city going "hey, I was the psycho in the mask scaring all you people, sorry?" She developed better control, she stopped hurting people, and she started putting effort in to saving the city along with the others and re-integrating into society peacefully. I genuinely don't know how hard you have to twist your brain into knots to interpret that as "no wrongdoing was acknowledged".
>>584503952When was the wrongdoing acknowledged? Even in the tournament when the people in the stadium were panicking because she was torturing a guy in front of everyone, it was treated as them being close-minded and mean. That's why her change started when Yusei was willing to accept her.
>>584504178Did you read a wiki summary or something? Her opponent was treated as holier-than-thou templar asshole but she was the villain in that scenario, with a full-on creepy theme playing as she went for the knockout and everything. She is 100% treated as being in the wrong.
>>584506470Did you? When they start yelling at her to leave, Luca and Lua (you know, the main characters that the audience is supposed to symphathise with) start looking around at the audience with a look of complete disbelief in their faces as if they're the ones doing something wrong. They also immediately decide to become friends with her after the tournament. There is never a point in which Aki's own decisions are considered to be the source of her suffering. It's always someone else's fault.
>>584507256>innocent, retarded kids are retarded Next you're gonna tell me that Leo running around like a retard dressed up like Luna was meant to be a well thought-out plan too. It ends up working out for them, but that doesn't change the fact that she's still very much the villain in that scene.
>>584507429No, but it didn't need to be well thought-out because they didn't know that there were any stakes and that the tournament was actually a secret scheme to gather the fucking Planeteers. But Luca's intelligence is never put into question anyway (she also thought that it was a dumb plan) and it's not their intelligence that matters here. They're just supposed to have the higher moral ground and be presented as heroic and noble, and they were openly shown to be shocked at the extremely reasonable treatment that the psycho received.
>>584508486They're also innocent kids. If you'll remember, the actual character we're supposed to view as being in the right - Yusei - is not at all surprised by how people are reacting to her, and while he tries to reach out to her, he doesn't act as though the people are acting unreasonably.
>>584510454Yusei is just stoic. Plus, he did make some sort of comment about the dragon sign being a curse, which is still taking at least some of the responsibility away from Aki. Also, come to think of it, I'm pretty sure that some of the twins' friends from school and Yusei's friends from prison were in the crowd too and they reacted in the same way that Lua and Luca did. I don't think that the old guy from prison has the child-like innocence to misunderstand what he just saw.
>>584511381It must be, because it seems to have temporarily allowed one of its prisoners to remember that none of this is real and that they're all puppets in its sick game, unlike earlier when everyone was freaking out about Ryo not being in bed.
>>584511157>which is still taking at least some of the responsibility away from AkiCommenting on how it's affected their lives and made things complicated for them is not the same as absolving her of her actions so much as it is him expressing that he understands how things could have got to that point in the first place. Does even something as simple as this have to be spelled out for you?
>>584512109You're repeating what I said. Saying that things escalated to this point because of how the sign affected her life lifts responsibility from her. The truth is that she's not misunderstood or unfortunate. She had a very easy way of controlling her power, which was not dueling. But instead, she chose to recklessly use it, sometimes out of pure spite like in that duel. The sign has nothing to do with why no one wants her around.
>>584512859Stating that A=/= B is the opposite of repeating what you said. Saying that a bully became the person they are because of a crappy home life is not the same as pardoning the bully, for a more easily digestible example.
>>584513346It is. You're still repeating the same thing. Even if Aki's parents are the dumbest people alive and made her life worse, the choice to use her powers was still hers and she chose to use them. She could have had a normal life even with those powers. Watching a criminal beat the shit out of someone and going "gee, if only his childhood had been better" is 100% ignoring that this is his choice right now.
>>584514564That part is being repeated, yes, in response to your own repeated, factually incorrect claim. To state that observing and acknowledging the circumstances around a situation is the same as justifying or pardoning it is a pretty ignorant reach.
the best thing about Sevens and Go Rush is that it never had retards like you two endlessly crying over basic bitch fifth grader ethics
>>584515024Bro, seriously, watch the arc again. In the episode where she duels Yusei they outright say that people are treating her like this because they're cruel. They SAY it. And Yusei doesn't treat her the same as any of the villains. Aki is consistently portrayed as a tragic heroine even though if you think about her actions for more than 0 seconds, she's a villain.
>>5845153765D's does suck ass.
>>584515491The only appealing thing about her are her breasts. She's a shit otherwise.
>>584515491Who are you trying to fool? I rewatched 5DS back in the spring and you're just flat-out lying unless you are on the dub and the localization did some retard shit like add that in. Yusei didn't say anything about the crowd being cruel.
>>584515376I will agree that Sevens and Go Rush are superior to the traditional Yu-Gi-Oh anime series. It's a pity most people wave them off.
>>584515882No, I watched the sub. And Yusei's friends said exactly that. And, like I said, Yusei himself didn't treat her in the same way he treated other villains or bullies. He accepted her right away.
>never had retards like you two endlessly crying over basic bitch fifth grader ethics>crying this much over used goods
>Atticus will definitely come back, so don't stress your mind so muchAtticus confirmed? Finally?
>>584516448Finally, we can play Red-Eyes Black Dragon. Just the thing to get me back into Speed Duel.
>>584516448>Atticus has already come back, hasn't he?>Also, Zane, you've already graduated from the academy!THEN WHERE THE FUCK IS HE YOU CUNTWTF KONAMI
>>584516612He's in your heart, anon.
>>584516312I don't care if she's used goods. She's the worst main girl anyway.
>>584516120If you watched the sub, surely you have an episode number and timestamp to prove poor, supposedly incorrect me wrong and shut me up. Like I said, though, I went through 5DS again just earlier this year and he didn't say that shit. You're either misremembering or lying your ass off to support your case.
>>584516739Episode 23. This is followed by a hilarious shot of the audience portrayed with sadistic expressions in their faces that slowly fades to darkness and their eyes start glowing red.
Seriously, you think this is too subtle? Maybe we should add demon horns too. The kids might not know who to root for.
>>584516993I'll admit my bad there, I thought you were saying Yusei said that. He didn't. The has-been who got butthurt that he got tossed aside and the retarded old man who was bullied and treated like garbage by the masses in the prison not liking seeing somebody get shouted down by the masses aren't exactly what I would call moral authorities, even if we're also meant to sympathize with them.
Aki sucks. Talk about Rush.
>>584517176Just the average audience in the bleachers, bro. You ever watch football?
>>584517269Consider Manya. Manya doesn't suck.
Oh no...https://youtu.be/km3-IT-LVv8
>>584517373Manya? Cute socks worth nutting on. Aki? Doesn't have cute socks. The superior one is clear
>>584517269Rush broke my heart again recently. Why the fuck did Romin and Ultimate Flag get new Skills while Gakuto was left in the dirt?
>>584517490Now neither of them will have to be a virgin!
>>584517373I have something she can suck on if you know what I mean.
>>584517538Why do you want that nigger floodgate deck to get anything? Faguto deserves less
>>584517669Because the monsters are badass. If Rush spits on Gakuto then I spit on Rush and will continue playing Speed
>>584517780Hop on Master Duel then nigger, I've got a deck for you
>>584517946No real argument on whether Gakuto would or wouldn't be healthy for the meta from me. But if they don't want Gakuto's cards to be playable, at least throw them in the trader instead of in boxes that cost gems. We get so few new cards as it is without the devs deciding that some of them might as well not even be there.
When will they reveal the other Evil Hero cards?
>>584519664Also worth pointing out that although Gakuto absolutely got the short end of the stick here, the other two decks featured in the deck build box got scammed too. Romin's new skill is the best of the three but still not powerful enough to get results. And the Ultimate Flag skill sucks, which is why people are playing the new Ultimate Flag cards with the Ether Dragon skill. Those cards ended up seeing success despite the devs' best efforts and not thanks to them. Basically, DL continues to be a scam.
>>584511381Everyone's seriously puzzled by the fact that Ryo is wearing his Obelisk Blue uniform but no one's asking why Misawa is wearing his Ra Yellow uniform. At around the same time as Ryo became a professional gimp, Misawa switched to Obelisk Blue, became a scientologist, dropped out of school to become an astro-physicist, got lost in another dimension, and married a tiger. I'd say he's way farther away from his school days than Ryo. At least Ryo graduated and still lives in this dimensinon.
Misawa alt when?
>>584524581He needs one of those terribly designed skills that tertiary characters get that somehow always result in FTK bullshit. Like, place Pikeru on the field from outside the deck and then give him a bunch of free draws.
>>584523131>and married a tigerYou mean got raped by a tiger
>>584525895No, that happened before he became a scientologist. Later on, when he was an interdimensional hobo, he married that same tiger. But it was consensual this time. He sure had a crazy life for someone whose alleged defining trait was being unremarkable.
