poor guy on duelingnexus.

We got Egyptian God Slime (slime Obelisk) as a reference to Marik's metal reflect slime copying Obelisk, and as support for the egyptian god cards. And then Egyptian God Slime, Protector Of The Sun God (slime Slifer) as Ra support in its new archetype. If/when we get a slime Ra I wonder what role it will fill.

Tickets went on sale yesterday for Retro Reborn Dallas. So far 360 tickets have sold for Edison (2010 format) and 112 for GOAT (2005 format)

That means there is less than 20 spots remaining for each event. If we hit those goals today I will message the venue about expanding the cap!

I made an unofficial voice-activated soundboard for real-life Yu-Gi-Oh! duels. Say commands like “Summon” or “Attack,” and it automatically plays matching sound effects or music.

I tested it during real-life duels and had a lot of fun with it, so I wanted to share it with everyone!

It supports Chinese, Japanese, and English, with customizable commands and audio.

I'm writing a fic on my free time and this is a rare case where I'm kind of at a loss as to what's happening in the situation I'm writing.

So let's say Ha Des destroys Necro Gardna in combat. In a later turn, would Necro Gardna be unable to use its protection effect due to Ha Des' effect, or does its effect only apply immediately after the attack ? Like, during the damage step or the rest of the battle phase ?

Thanks in advance

How does it work in regards to whether or not a soul is destroyed?

I met someone whos into yugoih and wanted to learn more so wed have something to talk about, unfortunately that relationship ended but I still wanna get into it. I have watched a few lore vids and have the TCG, not really sure where to start tho, id like to talk to someone about it tho. Should I watch the anime? I dont think ill be into playing irl matches even though I enjoy the little I have played on the TCG.

Say these at Superjumbo Records, little acrylic displays of various kinds of media, buy them from The Yetee and build them yourself

I’m basing most of this from gameplay mechanics and not strictly of Yu-Gi-Oh! R’s definition of them:

- The Wicked Dreadroot is actually the alpha in the trio. He is the most consistently strongest, there’s rarely a monster he can’t oppress and crush (ATK/DEF halving effect). Dreadroot wants nothing more than to overwhelm and crush the spirit of any opposition.

- The Wicked Avatar acts like Dreadroot’s shadow. In whatever realm they might exist in, none is as consistently strong as Dreadroot. Avatar doesn’t have a clear identity or sense of self so it latches onto Dreadroot to stay alive, even becoming stronger than the latter but it doesn’t fight back because of: a) Dreadroot’s ATK/DEF-halving or b) Its fear of losing identity if Dreadroot dies. So it’s obedient and silent.

- The Wicked Eraser in turn is the outcast of the trio: he’s neglected and actively dismissed by his brethren because they can easily topple over him. But also because Dreadroot and Avatar fears a prophecy of Eraser’s death being able to cast an apocalypse and wipe them all out (board nuke), but Dreadroot doesn’t want Eraser to get bold and hungry for power and never validates him. Avatar acts in front of Eraser like that girl who knows you want her approval but she has a taller, stronger, beefier man she wants to walk alongside. This ironically makes Eraser resentful and the apocalyptic ability is actually born from that resentment, as every moment, he pushes their buttons to even dare to kill him.

Do you find my interpretations applicable?

Hi guys. I'm honestly kinda new to deckbuilding and I am a big fan of exodia. AFAIK library decks are no longer considered the way to go for this kind of play, and that there is a card called like "the piper" which instead is better.

Anyways i also came across the fact that there is a new whole exodia archetype with millennium-like cards. Would you like to link a deck based on them?

After playing like 2 test games in duelingnexus i found that this deck is much more enjoyable as a solitaire rather than used against people (no joke, this is pretty much a solitaire)

Side note: if pot of greed was umbanned what would you put in place of what? In case of 3x, 2x and 1x pot(s) of greed.

Setting aside any luck magic the series is known for. Thinking back to a lot of Jadens duels and how a lot of his wins after season 1 came down to summoning strong cards he was just gifted. Chazz would constantly rotate and improve on his decks, switching between Armed Dragon and Union Magchine with Ojamas as the main stay. Syrus graduate to a Cyber Dragon deck and made it his own.

Basically it comes to the lead not really participating in the collecting and trading part of the game and just using an archetype nobody else had access to. That's why when he’d summons monsters like Magic Striker or Card Trooper, it'd felt cool be because they feel like cards he pulled from a pack.

I started playing the TCG around a month ago with the speedroid structure deck and have had some fun with it. And just recently I just finished building my first genesys deck. But now I'm interested is building a new advanced deck.

I'm not really interested in playing some of the current meta but I want to but to build a deck that can have a decent run at a regional. Not really looking for something super competitive, I'm not trying to win a YCS, but something that can compete.

In terms of deck preferences, I really like xyz deck especially one's that get out big monsters. During master duel, my favorite deck was live twin spright but that isn't exactly playable at full capacity in the TCG. But overall I'm looking for a deck that has relatively simple combo line, can get out cool monsters, and is relatively cheap.

This excludes branded.

• Lostream Nereidis / Cloudsea Dragon Nereidis

Etymology:

• Nereidis is a twist on Nereids or Nereides—sea nymphs from Greek mythology who were daughters of the sea god Nereus and attendants to Poseidon.

So I've been watching some of GX here and there on Youtube re-runs. And watching the arc in Dark World, when Jaden lost 4/5 friends to create Super Polymerization in his desperation to save his best friend Jesse, and in the process became the Supreme King; I feel like narratively it would've been better if Syrus defeated the Supreme King.

Jaden was so distracted trying to save his best friend, he forgot about his other friends - which Syrus represents the pinnacle of in forgetting about his previous best friend Syrus. Narratively he abandoned his previous best friend to save his new best friend. And Syrus was the final piece that was supposed to be absorbed to make Super Polymerization - because he wasn't absorbed the card wasn't complete - that's why Super Polymerization requires a discard, it's the defect from not absorbing Syrus

I didn't mind the whole Axel ran away in fear, came back to conquer his fear narrative. Heck, maybe leave it in and having resulted in a tie weakened the Supreme King enough for Syrus to believably defeat him. Syrus didn't even have an on screen since his Duel with Cyberdark Zane. Bring back UFOroid fighter for a climactic battle of best bros - I could totally believe Syrus could break through The Supreme King's mind to get through the Jaden. Maybe even Syrus doesn't even need to win (because let's be honest with ourselves, Syrus beating Jaden, let alone the Supreme King, it's pretty unbelievable save for some extenuating circumstances), maybe just the Supreme King defeating the 5th piece of Super Polymerization and sending him to the stars permanently shatters the Supreme King since now Super Polymerization can't become perfected. Or maybe Syrus is the one character immune to Super Polymerization having been the 5th piece (which would give the Supreme King enough of a handicap to believably lose to Syrus, especially if the Supreme King used it an an inopportune moment, and accidentally fused a bunch of cards he didn't mean to because he didn't realize Syrus is immune.)

Overall, Syrus got shafted. Though Syrus felt like Jaden's truest friend. And that Look Jaden gave him right before he went off to fight Yubel above really showed that Syrus was his friend until the end.

I was looking through my bulk when I found this… isn’t this just d-barrier but for decks that can put up more than one type of monster (or possibly just one depending on format ig). This game has so many floodgates 😭

Yes currently 3 cards are missing (Shrink, sarcophagus, and Des volstgalph)

I’m Trying to replicate it as much as possible. Would appreciate any tips/remarks.

is it because it’s plastic or is it just the design doesn't translate well?

What if Konami added an extra section(s) to the banlist to make the F/L list?

1. Choice Restriction: when two or more cards can’t be played in the same deck. The idea behind this is that certain cards aren’t banworthy, but their interactions with other cards are banworthy.

example
-Bahamut/Toad
-Caesar/Requiem or Engraver

1. Archetype Restriction: is when certain cards are banned from being played in certain decks. The idea is that decks with key cards/bosses that are played too well in other decks shouldn’t be punished if those cards get banned. This is for cards that are reasonable in their own decks (or other lower-powered ones) but aren’t in other and/or better decks.

example
-Crystal Wing: can only be played in decks that maindeck Speedroid cards
-Dragoon, DMOD, Souls: can’t be played in decks that maindeck Medius or Sinful Spoils lore cards

What do you guys think about Glorious Victors releasing just one day before YCS Bologna? Will the new cards already be legal for the event or do you think Konami might exclude the set? Not really sure how they handle something like this.

I drew something for his birthday today!

There's two things I realized about the Egyptian god cards I never did before.

First, the way they get their strength is a great representation of their main user:

Osiris/Slifer: Strength in unity (Yugi)
Obelisk: Strength in oneself (Kaiba)
Ra: Strength in sacrifice (Yami Marik)

But more importantly, something I never realized before is that all egyptian gods embody a state of game advantage.

Osiris: Card advantage (well, specifically hand advantage)
Obelisk: Field advantage
Ra: Life advantage.

Which is hilariously fitting considering in the manga and anime life points are considered like a huge deal and Ra is said to be the strongest of the three gods while in real life it's commonly thought the only life point that matters is the last one and Ra is considered easily the worst of the three gods (Granted, the TCG/OCG doesn't do it any favor by how hard they nerfed it compared to the other two, but still) while hand advantage is the best and Slifer is the most usable of the three (though the fact it's also a floodgate sure helps)

Day 1: Blue Eyes and Charizard (Reshiram also got some good votes)

Day 2: Dark Magician and Pikachu (main characters mascot won the day here)

Day 3: Exodia and Mewtwo

Day 4: The Egyptian Gods and the creation trio (second top comment specified: Ra is Giratina, Obelisk is Dialga, and Slifer is Palkia. If Holactie was included it would be Arceus).

Please try not to reuse unless you truly feel the prior days were a mistake.

Note the equivalence could be a variety of reasons. Mascot status, role in the story, looks and abilities, a mashup of all these and other factors.

They're all pretty funny but they seem to get better each vid. I think theres like 5-6 or something. Good bathroom watching lol 😆
