I honestly hate how XYZs have been more and more broken. Dragosack and Big Eye are prime examples, decks can just churn them out like nothing and the effects cost jack shit.
As of right now, this game is getting worst and worst with the constant power creep factor. Primal is gonna make this game either really interesting or really stupid.
Actually, no deck can churn them out like nothing anymore. Rulers are all but dead, hanging on to Hieratics and Mermails canāt do it nearly as efficiently anymore.
I think Draccosack is fine for the most part, especially with SHARK out. Big Eye could use a good hitting though.
Really, after Shock Master got hit the only big power creep in Xyz monsters is Excite Knight, which is stupid. SHARKā¦kind of sort of, but he makes it so people actually remember a Defense Mode exists.

Those decks can churn out rank 7s. ARK is probably in the top 3 of best rank 4s in the game. I honestly would love to see konami move back towards rank 1/2 xyzs since the best rank 1 (lionheart/dullahan) and rank 2 (daigusto phoenix/gachi) are decent at best.
It takes a few turns for H-Rulers to get going. Sure once they going they can churn them out but they have other crap Iām more worried about.
GeargiaKuri doesnāt even bother with the Rank 7s if it can avoid it. It sticks to Rank 4s and the Kuri Synchs.
Harpies donāt churn them out for shit. They run ONE Pet Dragon. They make maybe one Rank 7 a game at best. MAYBE 2 with a party resolution
Sylvans. Weāll see how that goes.
Machina Gadgets, agreed but not exactly much to worry about these days.
SHARK is the Number 1 Rank 4 in the game. Itās actually above Excite Knight though obviously Excite Knight is probably a more busted card.
Thereās some creep, but I blame shit more on Big Eye.
PENDULUM NEWS ON THE WAY!
ā¦Itās really fucking confusing at the moment (hopefully it gets cleaned up).
Also there are new rule changes.
The Player Going First can no longer draw a card on their Draw Phase on Turn 1 (more akin toā¦pretty much every other TCG/CCG on the market)
Both Players Can Have Field Spells Out Simultaneously (Field Spell Wars are dead, Closed Forest became useless Gravekeepers just became an even bigger pain in the ass)
Iāll believe it when I see it on Konamiās official site.
NO MORE RIDICULOUS FIRST-TURN ADVANTAGE?
THIS GAME IS RUINED
/sarcasm
Going first isnāt as much of an advantage as it is in other games though.
If you go second, you get to attack first and you get to play stuff in response to your opponentās stuff. There are plenty of occasions where I lost because I was on the play instead of the draw and got owned by Crimson Blader and couldnāt play the rest of my stuff.
It was revealed in V-Jump which is where they reveal pretty much everything over in Japan for YGO.
The only thing in dispute (other than the confusing ass Pendulum Summon which will hopefully get a cleaned up translation) is when the rules will make their way over here. But chances are, weāll get it on the release of Starter Deck 2014 just like the OCG.
They are making this into a new game man.
Well see if itās for the best.
Also, Dragons of Legend looks fun for dat Nostalgia.
And also, fuck OCG Exclusives to hell.
Loving the new Evol trap card: Evo-Singularity. Makes the whole archtype pretty playable and a consistent way to drop solda without playing the crappy lvl 6 saurs
Drop Solda, Drop Laggia, produce tearsā¦yeah.
And while you get that, the only thing that makes Gagagas playable will remain forever in Japanā¦
Well I bought the Cyber Dragon and Blue-Eyes structure decks today, so itās time to get to work on building my White Lightning Dragon Boner deck!
Well I hoe you bought multiples of each in any case.
I only caught one of the Blue-Eyes structure thoughā¦only one the store had. Iāll keep looking for more but worst comes to worst I can just buy some more online.
The TCG corner was lined with nothing but Cyber Dragon structures though
So, trying to figure this out manā¦I already have my key cards for the Extra Deck, but Iām working on my Main Deck right now. Man, Iām so out of it right now.
You shouldāve checked to see if your nearby locals had an OTS going yesterday.
OTS? And even if I wanted to I had work all day yesterday.
Soā¦any essentials to recommend? Synergy?
Official Tournament Series. Itās essentially a Mini-Regionals for card shops with Top 4 getting National Invites.
And again, I believe that you shouldnāt try to make a Blue-Eyes and Cyber Dragon combination so I really canāt help you.
Are those weekly/monthly events or something? Might be something for me to check outā¦
EDIT: Closest one to me would be Dream Wizardsā¦and I had just missed it! Oh wellā¦ I can be up there for the weekly tournaments at least.
