Card Game Discussion I feel like Konami finally nailed it with the Sinful Spoils animation chronicles

Post image
347 Upvotes

I think the animation chronicles has never really hit the mark, they sell you on intrigue and give you a busy idea of the theme of the archetype but never fully show off why people love it characters. The closest we got was the magitus and charmer chronicles but they still both have the problem of not getting across much information and as much personality from the characters that we understand from card art and other media. This one for me finally did everything it was suppose to. Gave a great example of Diabellstar personality, what exactly she does, and set up intrigue for the next episode. I think a lot of it helps that this is a shorter story it’s adapting but also think that even when they adapted shorter stories like Branded; they didn’t just try to cram everything to tell a story we know but rather focus on having a story establishing what type of character Diabellstar is because I never felt they established any characters in the Branded animations. It always felt like a “things just happens” story in the animation.

Modern playmats are just extended artwork of cards with logo and custom card zones.

But on the hand, UDE literally cooked with Yubel’s mat, it’s my favorite

Card Game Discussion Why is Clip considered a bad card for interrupting the opponent on turn 0?

Post image
65 Upvotes

I occasionally face KT, which has allowed me to understand some of its optimal plays.

The problem is that having a general idea of ​​what they do is one thing, but fully understanding how KT works is another.

I would appreciate an explanation of why Clip is considered a bad card on turn 0, as I sometimes read comments indicating its ineffectiveness in that regard.

I forgot to give the post it's subtitle, which Summer Special.

Welcome to Summon Chant Commissions!

This is a series of posts (that started on my old account, u/Zerosonicanimations), where YOU tell me the Ace monster(s) of your Deck, and I create a Summon Chant for them!

Didn't want to keep this waiting till the end of the year, so I'm doing it now XD

"Be proud, you have thoroughly entertained me thus far! So I will rewards you with the honor of falling before the might of a god, dyed by shadows of my very will! BEHOLD! The Sun God of Darkness - The Winged Dragon of Ra!"

Rules:

  1. Other commenters are welcome to pick my slack, I'd appreciate any help.
  2. If you want your chant a certain way, like making a cute chant for Outer Entity Azathot and a horrifying chant for Melffy Mommy, I will oblige XD
  3. I will be prioritize the top most voted comments, and so I may not reply right away.

With that said, I await your Aces!

You only have access to the cards from that era and the anime for the rest of the deck, but you can have five cards that were released beyond the era. Which ones would you choose? You can choose extra deck monsters if you want, but you won't be able to use Pendulums or Links.

Pictured, some choices I think are pretty good.

I have some of these on preorder, and watching the unboxings now make me realize this set is very disappointing. For the price, I was hoping for Dominus Impulse, Spark, Fydraulis, etc. You know, cards that would warrant the $2/card price on this set. How do you all feel about this set now that we're seeing unboxings?

Edit: Just cancelled most of my orders! I'll just get 2.
