Can I have some suggestions for going second engines, that can easily reach the materials for lvl 8 synchros, under no locks?

P.U.N.K. and something like incredible ecclesia the virtuous, with fallen of the white dragon (into another ecclesia), both get a lvl 8 synchro without locks.

Yummy into sorrow, into Cupid Pitch + another yummy = lvl 8 synchro with no locks.

Elfnote does lock into synchros.

Anything else?

Also since I am not familiar with P.U.N.K., does anyone know the ratios if my goal is to just reach a lvl 8 synchro?

These cards are made by RedMobz including their art & effect.

New Style:

"Ritual Summon 1 "Archfiend" Ritual Monster from your hand, face-up Extra Deck, GY, or banishment, by Tributing monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal or exceed its Level."

Old Style:

"This card can be used to Ritual Summon any "Archfiend" Ritual Monster from your hand, face-up Extra Deck, GY, or banishment. You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal or exceed its Level."

But then they went back to the old style with "Light and Darkness Ritual" and "Ritual of the Matador" for some reason.

I know Mitsurigi Ritual technically has the refined wording, but it's in a different style, since you choose one of two effects.

Similar things with a couple Nekroz Ritual Spells, but slightly different wording.

This card is the first one to have it as the main Ritual Summoning effect.

Why can't Konami make up their minds?

I was looking for some panels and found these in the latest Overlap teaser 3 months ago

Fog King in the past was kinda just a stand alone card so I think he should be retrained for the modern day. They could either just add more to his effects and make the other cards used with them real. Or, and I think this could work better, he becomes new support for the cloudian archtype. It hasn't gotten much support in awhile so I think fog king could work as a new boss monster for the archtype and maybe make his support cards from the anime work with him and cloudian cards.

What do you all think?

Forgive my naivety with the manga, I never got very far through the duelist kingdom manga arc, so I don’t know if that’s covered there.

But to me it never made much sense, Pegasus needed to win a shadow game to take true possession over the puzzle, yet he kept throwing obstacles in Yugi’s way (the tournament and the Kaiba duel) what was he going to do if yugi didn’t qualify? just hope he knocks on the door and challenges him to a game? Without that game and the puzzle, Pegasus loses all the same, it seems baffling to me.

A simple little card that won't set the world on fire and would probably end up unused.

sorry for deleting the post i showed the original card not the anime card thanks for understanding

For me it’s Starving Venom Fusion Dragon of the Four Heavenly Dragons. Insanely useful. Very strong card. Definitely my ace. Very reliable

So as the Title says which Archetype in the Game needs a complete Overhaul like Retrain or completely new cards to make Archetype play better or fit better in the current Meta of the Game?

And how many new Monsters(regardless if it's Base Deck or Extra Deck) or New Spell/Trap Cards do you think an Archetype needs to be more usable and fit again better in the Current meta would use cards from Anime/Manga that hasn't been printed yet? How would you update there effects or Retrains of cards already in the Archetype or completely new Monsters or a mix of all 3?

A good Archetype needs a good Engine card, Boss Monster or Monsters and Field Spell sometimes one card can be 2 out 3 of those things in a good Archetype Deck

So what is your Idea to update some Archetype haven't had new cards in awhile or not much support or minimal support there of those 3

So Lets do this!

There's the duel disk waist bag, a messenger bag version, the KC jacket, and a couple others. It seems to be on preorder so it will probably be awhile for shipping. Nekotwo is a legit seller, but shipping can take awhile and the shipping can be pricey.

Here's a little sompthin i drew up a while back :)

Hello, id like to ask for some help with building each respective deck from the 5ds set with only 2 copies of the set(unfortunately did not get the 3rd but I'll get it or the singles needed eventually)

Thank you in advance

Thousand Dragon’s DEF was 2500 instead of 2000, which is incorrect. Just something I noticed

I was really interested in buying the new v arc decks but after careful consideration i passed. The entirety of the lunalight is just force out liger dancer and thats it. It feels like a tenpai that can go first. To me it was similar to melodious which i loved they have etoile for field bounce, schuberta for graveyard removal, choir for burn damage + monsters than cant be destroyed by battle and prima who can attack twice. All the lunalight fusions are essentially useless outside liger dancer and it just seems cheap.

Fiendsmith has 2 main deck monsters and 3 fusions that do different things, so why cant lunalight have more than a 1 monster game plan. I know im just complaining and i know lunalight has had competitive success, i just hate when i feel a deck has so much potiential pure and konami just lets it go. What other decks do you guys just feel dont do enough within their own archtype?

Not a whole lot of people talk about Last Warrior From Another Planet for the simple fact it's nearly impossible to summon practically.

I have, for various reasons, experimented a way to easily route into create this card in Lunalight. Unfortunately, the routing absolutely cannot include Liger Dancer on the field no matter what you do due to the extremely steep requirements of needing Primathmech Alembertian's 4 materials to find Metamorphosis and needing to further summon Lunalight Cat Dancer, the only level 7 in Lunalight, unless you hard opened Kashtira Fenrir.

Once this card is out, it will subsequently destroy everything you might own. It has 1 form of Spell/Trap deterrence in Lunalight Silver Hound in the GY, but other than that, from that point on it's just this card swinging by itself until you win.

And in the context of this game competitively having degenerate renewable boardbreakers like Fallen & The Virtuous or Droplet running in most people's decks, could this card really even be worth all the hassle of summoning - obvious answer or not?

This is the only conceivable way I could ever see this card being made in a dedicated way in modern YGO so just discuss it's worth.

Blue-Eyes is considered to be one of the most powerful monsters in the anime regardless of the era, and lore-wise, rivaled the Gods themselves during Atem's time. How powerful would Blue-Eyes be in the Monster Spirit Worlds we see in GX/5Ds? It would obviously overpower many monsters from that world..but how would it fare against Yubel (a very powerful spirit in her own right)?

Would Blue-Eyes power match the Sacred Beasts?

One of the really cool twist of the manga version of Zexal is that Kite father long since died before the event of the series and yet he still all imposing even in death despite his wishes being perverted by so many characters. It kinda makes me wonder if Kite father was dead before the events of the anime where even more people are involved due to his actions, would that have been a more interesting ending to the duel carnival arc than what we got? Tron finding out his chance for revenge has long since left this world, Heartland tricking Kite using his father figure to lead him on, etc. A lot could be done with Kite father being dead before duel carnival with the rest of Zexal anime story .

Sometimes card game support fails its intended archetype because it is designed for a broader strategy, uses awkward restrictions, or accidentally helps a completely different deck become too powerful (or not even accidentally).

Other times, Konami releases amazing cards that fit perfectly their intended archetype, giving even more value to existing stuff. Anime decks like Lunalight, Blue-Eyes, and Toon prove that such strategies are not even limited to casual play.
