The New Yu-Gi-Oh Thread: Construct Joins Stratos in the Halfway House

Because Ghost Ash has about 5,000 other things to counter it and it’s a complete coincidence.

It’s a good card, but it would take absurdly broken Grave S/T effects for Belongings to be up there, and by the time that happens it’ll be reprinted as a lower rarity.

The most notable generic S/T that can be abused with it is Breakthrough Skill, which is an okay synergy at best. Archetype wise, you have UA Penalty Box, Toy Vendor and the Cubic S/T, none of which are going to light the world on fire.

It’d be lucky to hit $30.

The new Spyral cards make the deck actually playable.

I guess this is Konami’s way of saying “at least we gave you Rat in lower rarity.” 3 zoodiac cards being secret? RIP wallet.

There is way more than that…

You don’t even need to play certain archetypes now to get utility out of their cards.
That card opens up so many creative possibilities, you are sleeping on the possibilities of creative deck design.

Just for you, I’m gonna run down EVERY SINGLE thing that tip page brought up.

[details=Spoiler]Ancient Gear - Okay at best, even in its archetype.

Bamboo Sword - Again, okay at best, and there’s a reason Bamboo Swords haven’t been run in years. This would only make the engine slightly more consistent, at the cost of taking up more slots.

Blue-Eyes - I really shouldn’t have to say how bad Burst Stream of Destruction is.

Burning Abyss - One of the few good interactions, but you have to run otherwise dead cards to make use of it.

Buster Blader - It’s alright

Predplants - Worse Poly

Cubic - Already mentioned it’s one of the few good interactions. Cubics have broken interactions with the card.

Dark Magician - Waste of Magician Navigation

Darklords - Deck goes deep enough as it is. Would only help in a winmore scenario (when you already have Darklords out)

Fluffals - Again, already mentioned (though it’s arguable if they can even find space for it with how absurdly consisten the deck will already be)

Cardians - Only Okay, exacerbated by Cardians being bad.

Gem-Knights - Good interaction, because Gem-Knights DESPERATELY need to get into Fusion to not auto lose, and even then they need another Gem-Knight in grave.

Glad-Beasts - Terrible Synergy

Junk - NO

Lunalight - Solid, due to the card itself being solid.

Monarchs - This would probably be the only reason the deck is playable right now.

Naturia - Bad

Nekroz - Good interaction, though Dimensional Barrier will need to be banned before it’s even relevant.

Paleozoic - Would be good…if they didn’t already have Marella. They don’t need a vanilla dumper on top of that.

Psy-Frames - Good and bad. Good because searching Psy-Frames is good. Bad because the deck really can’t afford to give up Overloads.

Raidraptors - Bad because Necro Vulture is bad and Raid Force is bad.

Shaddolls - Not what they need at all.

Spellbooks - Bad, only mildly useful for Master but you’re Spellbooks, you can search what you want anyway.

Phantom Knights - Potentially solid, will need testing.

UAs - I already know it’s great here.

Volcanics - Basically just Raigeki with burn while wasting a valuable Reload. Volcanics have a whole suite of other issues.

Metalfoes Fusion - Pseudo-Upstart is ok, but drawing into Fusion is GODAWFUL.

Breakthrough/Galaxy Cyclone - Already mentioned. [/details]

I’d say half of those interactions are solid, and a grand total of zero of them are game changing. Don’t you EVER fucking lecture me on “creative” deck design though. Just don’t.

You are strictly thinking in terms of in archetype support.
I’m thinking in terms of splashing things where they don’t belong.

For example… Like being able to randomly splash blaze accelerator reload into a zoodiac deck to create an even stronger disruption.

Which means you have to spend slots on FBoB, Reload AND 3 Scattershot, all for a deck that already has plenty of disruption and can draw into it all.

That’s the issue. The interactions are nowhere near broken enough to make it worth playing potential dead draws. Which is why it’ll only be used in decks where it can dump cards that won’t be inherent dead draws.

I agree with what you are saying, but as much as I want to see the current game gone, ain’t shit gonna happen at this point. The point you make about A HERO LIVES and the Solemn’s is exactly why I hate balancing cards with LP cost. It’s almost always irrelevant compared to the utility the card provides.

Speaking of, Strike is long overdue to be hit. I know this is Konami but that card should’ve been limited ages ago.

LPs are not a cost because it is so easy to kill people that burning through them doesn’t matter. Also dimensional barrier is by far more problematic than solemn strike.

I also know the current game isn’t changing. In this case, I don’t think it really matters either. Yugioh is what it is at this point and I think the decision to ride the wave completely isn’t a completely bad one. Yugioh becomes stupidly broken every year anyway, why bother trying to avoid it at this point? This format had the biggest variety of decks topping in the history of the game. Going the Marvel route of making everything broken, while somewhat annoying, may ultimately be for the best.

Rat is super rare…oh boy my wallet…

Will be fine. You have a lot more to worry about with Secrets. Honestly you probably get a playset of Rats just at Sneaks.

So what did eveyrone think about the YugIoh Movie?

raging tempest box prices going up , luckily i pre ordered mine weeks ago.

Movie was dope as hell lmao

Tons of great one-liners and no shitty duels, which was going to be the dealbreaker for me. Glad to see some new and updated cards and strats as well.

Went with some buddies and the gal at the ticket counter was apparently in a not-caring type of mood, so our whole group definitely left the theater with a playset and then some of Obelisk, each. Might give one to someone for Valentine’s Day rofl

i pulled drancia and tigress and 1 rat from my box, and not a single fucking windwitch…oh well…

news is out that the dino structure deck will have quaking mirror force reprinted, that is nice, ive been wanting that card.

Barrage right now the money card at $70

yup.

also have you seen D barrier? its going towards 90 bucks now

Because it’s the strongest card in the game. You win or lose based on how many times you either use it, or run into it.

Easiest way to counter Douche barrier is to diversify your extra deck or have monsters that dont need the extra deck like kozmo or kaiju

Had a charity event for a friend with cancer, pretty good turnout (though I couldn’t enter since I was late with family coming over).

The finals were two 60 Card decks.
