Duel Network General - /dng/

Who's Melody?

R8 my Pendulum Magicians and help me answer 3 questions

>Scapegoat into Firewall
I hear it's a one card Firewall, yes, but not being able to summon other monsters the turn I activate it makes me want to take it out as it's not even usable during my turn. Is it worth it at all? Or should I just take out Gaiasaber and Firewall with the Scape Goats?

>Duelist Alliance
What should I take out to put in DA? How should I cut this down to 42 or less?

>Monster choices
Should I concider running Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon, Performapal Gatlinghoul or Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon?

wtb: Card that can revive extra deck monsters from the grave and has a grave effect

Get rid of white wing and 1 pendulum call

The Data Overmind believes she's flawed, but that's why I love her

Just play Shiranui

>get into last game of the night
>opponent says "this is a shadow game"
>plays some field spell
>"you now have 4 turns before you go to hell"
>activates Destiny Board
>wipe out his field spell
>"nooooooo"
>banish his janky Destiny Board
>Lost Connection
Yeah fuck you too buddy

Scapegoat, no matter how cool it is for Firewall, has no place in this deck imo. I'd take out the Twin Twisters for DA as well and side them instead.

Speaking of which, are the secret Scapegoats going further up in value more?

I don't want to play shiranui cardians

Drop Firewall for SK Clear Wing or Missus Radiant,

Firewall memes don't seem good here.

The deck doesn't need links to work. If you want to run any Links, just run Decode Talker and maybe Akashi MAgician once it's out. If you really, really want to run links, use Gofu or Rescue Rabbit.

The only Traps the deck needs is Time Pendulumgraph. Just drop the other traps for Duelist Alliance. Also drop 1 Pendulum Call and Dissolver.

What meta decks is Ghost Ash & Snow Rabbit effective against?

>feel in love with shit card
>solely because the artwork make your dick feel thingly

You can't be more shallower than this.

>want to test abc deck on ygopro
>constantly open awful hands like 3 union hangar

>it's a "retard confuses playground rules for the actual rules" episode

Okay, I'll take both of your suggestions into concideration. I'll likely side out the TTs however.

Yeah, dropping Firewall for SK Clear Wing seems best

I'll take out Gaiasaber and Proxy then too. I almost never summon a Link anyway. Strikes seem good to run though. I can also try dropping a Pendcall and Warning instead. I want to keep Dissolver for fusion plays and to get 2 pops of Pendulum Sorcerer instead of 1.

So the plan is siding TT and putting in DAs instead. Dropping Scapegoats, Pend Call and Warning altogether. Dropping Firewall, Gaiasaber and Proxy for SK Clearwing, DRXD or 101 and SVFD.

Thank you all for your help. I'll keep check back for the next few hours for more suggestions

Is there a worse fusion monster than this?

>it's a "retards arguing about outdated rules" episode

What meta decks aren't affected by Ash and Snow?
Post deck

That's what you get for being a Marisaposter I think Marisa is really cute and she's one of my favorites

Ok, so this is what you do. You drop Gaia, Firewall, 1 Pendulum Call, 2 Luster Pendulum (no point in playing him if you're not gonna use Dinoster because Ignister has generic materials). Also drop both Twin Twisters, Scapegoat, and the Solemn cards.

Now, add 1 Pot of Desires, and either 2 Fairy Tail Luna or 2 Apex Avian, 3 Ash Blossom or 3 Ghost Ogre, and 1 Maxx C. Also add 1 SKD Clear Wing and 1 Beelze. You might want to switch Proxy Dragon for Trapeze Magician.

I'm only asking because I can't afford Ash Blossom for my deck. So I need to know if Snow Rabbit is worth running instead in my Pendulum Magician deck

/v/ waifufags are worst autists

I run both at 3x ratios and they help me for different situations. I'd say Snow Rabbit is good card to use overall, perfectly fine for Pendulum Magician.

Interesting choice on dropping Luster pend. I'm only playing two Pots because I'm autistic about possibly drawing Desires off of Desires. That and I only have 2. Luna seems like a fun choice and I have a playset. Don't own Ash Blossom or Ghost Ogre unfortunately but do own Maxx C. I'm putting in the SKD but not Beelze as again, don't own it.

Am I screwed without Ash Blossom though? I'm siding all anti-meta stuff just in case, because I will lack 5head.

It's pretty shit rn because I've only been working on it for a couple hours, but it's really hard to determine how good/bad it is when i keep drawing unrealistically bad hands. I might cut the photon thrashers but I have no idea what to replace him with.

marisa is a super cutie

I'd suggest drop the Thrashers

I see your point with the two Pots, but realistically you have 44 cards in your Main Deck which is way too much. 41 is the upper limit you want to watch out for 41 is composed of 4 and 1, aka HITOTSU NII.

If you're planning on playing meta, then stock up on the cards I mentioned. You can get away with using Ghost Ogre instead of Ash Blossom if you prepare your Side Deck effectively as mentioned in Firewall might work, but it just uses up so many resources that it ends up not being worth it. You also might consider dropping SKD Dark Rebellion and Proxy for Utopia and Utopia the Lightning. Oh and I forgot to mention that you should DEFINITELY add 3 Duelist Alliance even if you don't use any Ghost Ogres or Ash Blossoms, it's that important.

Don't use the original dimensional dragons, the supreme king versions are overall better and more tailored for Magicians

>tfw you win a game by using the least used cards in the deck
It felt like pure luck because my opponent was stupid enough to use spacetime pendulumograph to DESTROY tiger and send cat dancer to grave and also fused with fox so i put something to 0, i cycled with Butterfly, Fox and killed with Cat Dancer, i've never done this

Just run Terraforming at 2. You don't need 6 Field Spells.

For what though? I can't think of any good replacements.

That's a neat build, though doesn't skill drain hurt you as well?

Union Hangar is like the best card in the deck dude, why wouldn't I want 6 copies of it?

I know, that's why I'm taking out Pend Call, Scapegoats and Warning to make it 40 like I said here
I'll try to pick up Ghost Ogres since Ash Blossom are like $50 right now, right?

Utopia the Lightning I forgot is a thing. But I am dropping Firewall, Gaia and Proxy for SKD Clear Wing, Utopia and Lightning when I get it, 101 and DRXD instead of Utopia for now. Only 2 for now until I pick up a third DA.

I'm not using any but I'm tempted to put in DRXD and Starving Venom for more Hitotsu ni and being easier to get out without any changes to the deck

Skill Drain tends to hurt the other decks more. Because its at 1 I rarely see it in play but when it does it delivers. ABC monsters get their effs from the grave anyway. It's another disruption option.

>Ash Blossom are like $50 right now, right?
More like $70+

how the hell do you idiots just let konami set up a paywall in the form of a mechanic?
hurr durr I have to summon some shitty blue card just to access my rank 4 toolbox to deal with 3 floodgates
you all should he ashamed of yourselves, but of course, this shithole only comprises of petdeck shitters

If you have Proxy Dragon pointing to Spyral Sleeper equipped with Last Resort, are you able to use Sleeper effect on himself, popping cards for free since you then use Proxy Dragon to negate the destruction?

Is that seriously allowed?

I watched Spyrals for the first time at my locals and its absolutely ridiculous.

>petdeck shitters

All tripfags adopted some "was once a degenerate tier 1 deck" as there "pet deck" while most non-tripfag anons are petdeck shitters.

so you are saying you all are fucking faggots whilescapegoating named shitters . OK. and you idiots always say this game has been a paywall. way to ignore the fact i didnt need to buy pendulums to xyz or synch, or buy synchros to xyz. you people are fucking stupid

>191580369
this is extremely low effort bait, 0 (you)s for you

You're not making any sense.

Explain your entire fucking argument in well written, thought-out, cohesive, sentences.

Rank 4 was a mistake anyway

>implying a single emz isn't enough to win

You don't even need to have Proxy Dragon pointing to Sleeper; so long as Sleeper is equipped with Last Resort, you can pop two cards for free since Last Resort negate's Sleeper's destruction.

>tfw we'll never have a Dark Magician Xyz called Obsidian Magician and make it sort of reference to Tezcatlipoca while Blue-Eyes will get another Synchro referencing Quetzacoatl

Why does Konami not see naming conventions?

Cry louder

>links should be the only extra deck mechanic that never becomes meta otherwise it's a paywall

simply epic

>mixing South American culture with Egyptian culture
Also don't we already have quetzacoatl in pic related?

That's why I play online, so I just enjoy games without getting asshurt from company's jew decision.

So these are my 2 Side Deck options.

Side Deck Option 1
>3 Ghost Reaper and Winter Cherries
>2 Hanewata or 2 D/D/D Rebel King Leonidas
>1 ABC
>1 Dark Law
>1 Crimson Blader
>1 Toadally Awesome
>1 Double Helix (when it releases)
>1 Dogoran
>1 Gameciel
>1 Jizukiru
>1 Kumongous
>1 Interrupted Kaiju Slumber

Side Deck Option 2
>2 D/D/D Leonidas (OR 2 Dimensional Barrier)
>2 Zaphion the Timelord
>2 Hanewata
>3 System Down
>1 Crimson Blader
>1 Dogoran
>1 Gameciel
>1 Jizukiru
>1 Kumongous
>1 Interrupted Kaiju Slumber

Hanewata and Leonidas combat Trickstars, Cherries is obvious, and Kaijus iare for Kozmo and other annoying "indestructable" monsters

>pendulum magicians are t1 without even using any links
>OMFG PAYWALL

>implying it's about Egyptian culture anymore

If it were true they would be shilling Hieratic everytime.

I mean, it's not like they don't have very similar beliefs and while yeah 5Ds is indeed literally "MEXICANS INVENTED CARD GAMES ON WHEELED TRANSPORTS".

>Tezcatlipoca was often described as a rival of another important god of the Aztecs, the culture hero, Quetzalcoatl. In one version of the Aztec creation account the myth of the Five Suns, the first creation, "The Sun of the Earth" was ruled by Tezcatlipoca but destroyed by Quetzalcoatl when he struck down Tezcatlipoca who then transformed into a jaguar. Quetzalcoatl became the ruler of the subsequent creation "Sun of Water", and Tezcatlipoca destroyed the third creation "The Sun of Wind" by striking down Quetzalcoatl.

>The rivalry between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca is also recounted in the legends of Tollan where Tezcatlipoca deceives Quetzalcoatl who was the ruler of the legendary city and forces him into exile. But it is interesting to note that Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca both collaborated in the creation of the different creations and that both of them were seen as instrumental in the creation of life. Karl Taube and Mary Miller, specialists in Mesoamerican Studies, write that, "More than anything Tezcatlipoca appears to be the embodiment of change through conflict." Tezcatlipoca appears on the first page of the Codex Borgia carrying the 20 day signs of the calendar; in the Codex Cospi he is shown as a spirit of darkness, as well as in the Codex Laud and the Dresden Codex. His cult was associated with royalty, and was the subject of the most lengthy and reverent prayers in the rites of kingship, as well as being mentioned frequently in coronation speeches. The temple of Tezcatlipoca was in the Great Precinct of Tenochtitlan.

It actually sort of fits but Dark Magician will have to go more invisible and Blue-eyes will have to thin down for it to work

Why does that work? You'd think the card would have to be destroyed for the effect to work.

>and while yeah 5Ds is indeed literally "MEXICANS INVENTED CARD GAMES ON WHEELED TRANSPORTS".

AYO HOL UP
*jumps on horse*
SO WHAT YOU SAYIN
*summons ka*
WE WUZ CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES AN SHEEIT?

This nigga takes his $20 deskbot deck to tournaments and screams paywall when he loses

Because the effect IS to destroy cards. The cost is simply targeting.

Thoses are blacks, user, not mexicans. Get your stereotypes right

I miss these guys, when is the next year of the dragon so they can get more support?

If we get another anime like Arc-V but in medieval setting, there'll be card games on chariots.

Sleeper's cost to activate its effect is to just target a SPYRAL card you control and two other cards your opponent controls. With the cost fulfilled, the effect continues on with no problem.

Cardfu hour

Okay!

>TCG NEVER EVER

>tfw you will never +10 with her by doing by adding massive disrespect

why even live?

Threadly reminder to run Dark Law in all DARK decks, including Cubics so you actually have a castle to protect.

To be fair, they can just give Blue-Eyes angel wings and maybe a feather trim and call her "Blue-Eyes Feathered Serpent".

Then Dark Magician can just be called as I mentioned "Obsidian Magician" and give him a leg leaking smoke and a mirror staff.

>To be fair, they can just give Blue-Eyes angel wings and maybe a feather trim and call her "Blue-Eyes Feathered Serpent".
Isn't that Deep-eyes?
>Then Dark Magician can just be called as I mentioned "Obsidian Magician" and give him a leg leaking smoke and a mirror staff.
This close enough? I mean the staff sort of fits

But yeah, I'd like a third synchro and a third xyz for them, they haven't gotten good support in over a year

Hey /dng/, let's go awaken the Star Relics

So why can't the TCG just ask for a completely different artwork that's suitable over here?

That artwork is perfectly PG. Why would it need to be censored?

Fuck off Airy

>ycs tacoland
>nobody cares, not even any website coverage

Not american? Any kind of sexuality, including cleavage, is considered not appropriate for children.

I think it has something to do with Takahashi stating he doesn’t want his card arts (the ones he specifically draws) to be changed in any way for different regions. Her brooch with the pentagram and her breasts would have to be changed for KOA’s standards or something like that. Since he won’t change it, we’ll never likely get it.

Can't Konami of Japan just re-release her with an alternate art then Konami of America can stop getting their tampons in a bunch.

So they can't just do an alternate art like with the other Dark Magician cards?

Kaz doesnt want her edited
And Tewart wants to edit her

Is that really a rule? It's not partial nudity nor imply's any sexuality. Seems more like self censorship if anything.

Since it would be effectively be changing the card art, that’s a no go, and Kaz wouldn’t let it happen. It’s hilarious and sad that KOA’s censorship standards are literally preventing a card from leaving Japan.

Not really a rule unless you're doing something for television/film, but koa just doesn't want any angry parents.

We got the entirely of the Lunalight archetype uncensored, Silent Magician's hip windows were not closed, Rafflesia's artwork is more or less the same as in the OCG despite her being almost naked and many other things i won't bother to mention, why not just import magi magi without touching the artwork since nobody gives a fuck

>tfw your too simpleminded to run any meta decks so you just stick to your petdeck stuff

At least I dont have to worry too much about janky card prices

Tewart gives a fuck

I think the reason more likely has to do with licensing than censorship like many seem to think. SJ cards in general seem to often have issues.

What do you mean? Are they too hard for you to understand or something?

ygorganization.com/tcg-structure-deck-wave-light/

The Dunames retrain still has her cleavage from her OCG artwork. I think this is a case of KOA forgetting about it or somehow missing it.

Yeah. As much as it sucks to admit. Im just not that good with the more complicated stuff. Its mostly why I shy away from using my extra deck in most decks and I try to build decks that dont rely on them.

They'll probably just give Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, HERO, Stardust/Warrior, Utopi, Odd-Eyes, and D/D/D a Link Monster each.

What other meta Decks is Artifact Lancea effective against besides Trickstars?

ABC can't banish your stuff or summon Dragon Busta
Dinosaurs can't summon ULTIMATE DICK or use MIscellaneusaurus
And i might be reaching really hard here with the next two but
Invoked cannot banish aleister or use shit from your grave with Invokation
Master Peace cannot fire his cannon if he can't banish the ammo (cont. S/T's)

If Trickstars tries to banish something and I chain Lancea, does it stop their banish or will it only stop any other banishes for the rest of the turn?
