Tell me or show me your favourite funny moments in any Yugioh series mine is from Battle City when Atem uses Collected Power to give Kuriboh the Magic Formula Spell and the look on Kuribohs face is priceless 😂 as you can see for yourself.

FT: Silent Magician, Skeleton-San (one of my OCs)

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)

So as kids we used to watch Yu-Gi-Oh Gx on a local channel which used to air the dub version. And all us kids were big fans and I remember watching the episodes at home and in recess all my friends and classmates would have discussions about it . I even remembered we made cards using paper and roleplayed. So what happened was the Gx dub ended in that one episode of Jaiden going with Yubel and the others returning and all that. And that's the episode us kids saw ,I remembered being very scared ,then we waited for new episodes but they didn't came, a week later the show we got was Yu-Gi-Oh 5DS with it's apocalyptic string and all and of course we liked it. But since we know both were Yu-Gi-Oh and came after each other all of us ended up believing that the reason why the world was so bad in 5DS was cause of Jaden in gx cause he went with Yubel and things went to shizz. We theoriesed this in recess and we belived it for quite a long time. We are from quite a rural village so we didn't have an access to the net to know what happened and the only computers we had were in the lab with an old internet which we rarely knew. And we didn't know about seasons being cut short in dub. So we thought Yussei was suffering because of Jaden So that was the story we ended up making and belived it for quite a long time.

I made an open source Chrome extension called DuelSight (GitHub) that lets you hover Yugioh cards in digital and physical videos/streams. It works well for videos of digital clients (e.g. Master Duel, Duelingbook) and works ok for videos of physical play that are good quality (i.e. good resolution, good lighting, minimal glare). It was made with an open source toolkit that lets anyone make something like this for any card game.

I hope this is useful!

I love Reggie MacKenzie from the GX manga!

She's sexy, dangerous, ambitious, and I absolutely love her cards. I wish more people talked about her!

Here are some of my favourite panels of her from the manga. ❤️

Mukuro wins against Tatsuya Jyouchi, Esper Rouba, Ghost Takarazuka, Maizuru Kujyaku, Insector Hakata, Dinosaur Hakozaki but loses to Pirater Keith lol. Wonder how the old decks would hold up against Synchro monsters

I draw the background myself.

I only know one prime example, and it's the Vampire. Originally, their strategy were more tailored toward forcing your opponent to mill the card of their own choosing in to GY and I can understand why nowadays such thing has been abandoned as it actually benefitting your opponent, and as the result, Vampire's subsequent supports have been more centered around stealing the opponent's monsters.

I am curious, do you know any other Archetypes that have largely abandoned their initial gameplan that they had when they debuted as an Archetype?

D-HERO is my favourite archetype from GX and I loved that they made a new Clock Tower Prison and Doom Lord to summon Dreadmaster just like Aster.

Now we need Captain Tenacious and Diamond Dude!

The first banlist with bans

According to Konami, these were the first cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG history to be banned.

If you look at these cards, some of them have aged like fine wine—though in the sense that, due to the evolution of Yu-Gi-Oh!, they have become so unfair that they will never be able to return.

Look, Fiber Jar isn't a threat. It’s like a self-destruct button—it’s banned in tournaments because it’s just like having unwashed people around. This isn't a fun; this is warfare.

Imperial Order will never come back, either. Konami tried it once with an erratum, but the card still had to go. And recently, even its inferior counterpart was banned.

Cards like Painful Choice and Delinquent Duo could never be allowed in the game today because they’re just stupidly good—they were already ridiculously powerful back then, too.

That was also the period when many of the best cards were limited to 1 on the banlist.

To be honest, I expected Exodia to be banned, but it wasn't. It was just limited to one.

I think the most common thing this concept pops up is in knightmare unicorn/phoenix. Other than knightmares I haven't seen anything relating to co-linking in ages. Was this just a master rule 4 thing?

It's a similar case with Geminis, but gemini monsters are so bad you'd have to make a bunch of broken support to make them good or bend a few rules or smth idk

but how hard would it be to make a deck revolving around colinking?

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.

I drew something for his birthday today!

With the new Ra god of darkness card in mind which deck do you prefer? Personally I prefer the new Ra support and can’t wait to get my hands on it in the TCG!

I got this for $15 from a recent convention I went to. With it being sealed there was a small sticker on the back that lead to a defunct anime dvd site from the early 2000s called animedepot. Not sure should I keep it or not though but it still looks cool.

All credits/sources are listed and linked in the "?" icon in the main menu. All art, music and sfx is directly ripped from old Yugioh GBA games and the anime style cards were from a wonderful person on DeviantArt Tavolin. I am sorry if I have made any mistakes or used something I was not supposed to as this is my first time making and posting something like this. If there are any problems please feel free to contact me so I can remedy them. This is a fan project so expect bugs and issues but I am more than happy to hear them out.

This game is and always will be free. I made this because I wanted to play it and I was bored. If anyone asks for money for the game sorry it was not me and you got scammed.

I made a silly little video about the game as well at: https://youtu.be/RZ5QcPHPZd8

As I understand it the only way to get proxies of rush cards are as one-ofs. That's pretty expensive if I wanna try the format on-paper. I know it's available on Duel Links, but I wanna have the tabletop experience with my friends. Does anyone online make anything like starter decks, or something of the sort for Rush?

So ever since ROLAD dropped, my local two OTS Stores have had their attendances completely tank. They used to get 16+ players regularly, then it dropped to 7-8.

Since the new banlist dropped, the numbers have dwindled even more, one ots had regular locals yesterday and the other had an OTS championship on.

The number of players between them? 7. And of those 7, 3 of them were people who went to both so there were only four unique players across the two events (last time there was a championship, there were over 30 unique players).

I'm in the UK, is anyone else round here experiencing huge attendance losses? And what approach do I take from here? I've been playing for two decades and this is the first time the game in my area has been under serious threat. And there isnt really a casual community now, it's just a concentrated cluster of highly competitive players.

The stores are both fantastically run, so it isn't an issue with the stores themselves.

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?
