Yugioh OCG News

@4) Yeah, guess was too short before the 5D's episode, and I was elsewhere with my mind. And copy + paste is so easy once the work is done XDD
It's fixed now, release is in February.

@1) From it's supposed anime effect, Power Tool Dragon is not limited to Deformer only read from the card shown. But well, effects from anime and real life often differs, sometimes more, sometimes less. I'm gonna upload an image of PTD later.

@2) I think i missed the episode with Ruka's duel and haven't watched them yet, but there are not much slots left for her monster cards, 8 in total I think, but who knows. Release is not that far away anymore.

@3) Yep, that is Crow. The first of his cards will be in Crimson Crisis (for the moment at least the Synchro "Black Feather - Armored Wing" and a still unknown "Black Feather" Tuner)

Is'nt it 09 and not 08 the pack is comming ? xD

nope, you can see it's effect in CRMS but picture not so clear

Dont worry about getting super and ultra rare cards, because just like in a duel you never know what card you are going to get.
unless you us a card to see what you are going to get, and if you can see what you are going to get in a pack then you must be psychic.

I have a feeling the Konami will treat Luca as they treated Jim and Asuka....
I hope they wouldn't.....
They will release Ancient Fairy for sure and probably in this pack.

Dark Synchros most likely won't be released to OCG/TCG but they can do almost anything ^^
The reason for this is the confusion that will follow the "Negative Level" thing. Logically, a lot of ppl will take them bcz they are uneffected by Gravity Bind, Junk Warrior will get a HUGE ATK bonus etc.
Another reason is their summoning way. Dark Tuners requesting 2 tributes which makes the normal Dark Tuners more usefull (Ancient Rules, Birthlight etc.)

Most likely the they would release ancient fairy dragon in it's own pack.
They did it with the other dragons and yes red dragon archfiend/buster does count as one of the five dragons.
The dark tuners and dark synchro monsters could go any way right now, so their is still a chance that they will come out.
If you are wondering how I can say that it is because I just have a feeling about it.

The same as it's sounds.
Example: Level -7 is MUCH lower than +4 (-7 < +4)

Gravity bind only affects level 4 and higher monsters, it says nothing about monster that are positive or negative, so dark synchro monsters are affected by gravity bind.

It's Rua's trump card. It's seen a lot at the op and ed and it's got "Dragon" in it's name AND IT"S A MACHINE. Similliar to Cyber Dragon - Dragon's name, machines and they both not from the five dragons.

DON'T ASK WHY AND DON'T ARGUE WITH ME
THAT IS ALL!

if it's a machine, then it probably won't be the last Dragon. Thank god. *Hopes the last dragon will rock*

the last dragon is not Rua's you can see it in the ending and 5D's episode 30 and they are not the same.(picture with Crimson dragon and the other dragons)

I allready made that point :S

Most likely they would come out with other monsters like power tool dragon for other duelist in the show.
THe last signer's dragon looks like an earth monster and maybe have to do with insects with the way it looks.

Sometimes monsters look a like.
I don't realy belive PTD is the last dragon.

The signers dragons have to be dragon types and have to have dragon in its name.
Plus the last dragon have both their wings up while ptd has 2 wings down and 2 wings up.
And the last dragon looks alot better than ptd

Let's finish this arguement like grown-up ppl.
PTD can be one of them but also can't. All what we have to do is "to wait".

P.S
Sorry about the arguement. I'm obsessed about winnig - even in stupit/litte things. You can ask my math teacher if I'm obsessed xD

I think Yusei said something like "There is no such thing as a useless card".
Maybe we should stick to it :P

What I mean by that is will they be strong as a group like gladiator beasts, relying on one another. or will they be strong without the help of one another.
Also I hope that came out with some fusion monsters too.

If they will be strong together they will probably will have a really good swarm (Special Summon, Normal Summon etc.) abillities. And that means - Synchros.
I hope for some Fusions too :P

I hope they come out with more fusions too.

That would be DT04-JP036 Demon Roar God Valkyurus

I also thought of Zombie World Varients, they can use this card pretty damn well as a secondary winning condistion, and the swarm offers many tributes.

I reckon Gem Beast/Lightlord decks could benefit most - both their Field Spells have good built-in protection from S/T removal.
It wouldn't work in Zombie World unless it was Special Summoned since it's not a Zombie-Type monster. On that note, Gem Beast/Lightlord can meet the requirements for tributing summoning quite easily too - more so in Gem Beast thanks to Ruby, Contract and Guidance. That and Rainbow Ruins can offer protection from S/Ts by tributing a Gem Beast.

Raging battle has no indication that dino's will be in it. Raging Dino's, that name implys dinosaurs, raging battle, no not really.

It was just my opinion.

You don't think it's stupid - YOU KNOW IT IS ^^
Same goes to everyone ^^

Pierce effect BF is a good news (specially it's bonus *0*).
I'm not saying that Blast of Black Spear isn't enough, I just say the more pierce you have - the win is much closer ^^

And It's like Armored Wing ^^ Doesn't need a lot of support ^^
Through Arms Wing/Armed Wing/Whatever it is - can't beat AFD's DEF.

What do you want to summon? Power Tool or Stardust?
Well, you can choose 1 of them with this Deformer (Althrough in attack position he is useless in a normal Deck).
With the new Deformers, I still can't find a reason for Rua's countinous loss :S
Except for the writer's wrath?

Ah, true, mausoleum is nice combo, the fact that the earthbound god's can be special summoned is awesome, and mausoleum actually can serve a purpose. I don't see why Earthbound God Capuc Apu wouldn't be used in a zombie deck, but piscu is better in terms of effect. I mean, Capuc apu can direct atk for 3000,, but gains a flame wingman efect if it battle amonster, Not that you should battle a monster, unless it's DAD or JD,. Piscu is awesome in its secondary effect where it blows up your opps face up monsters, that in itself is nice. An earthbound god and magic city endymion is brutal, but the a\sad thing is, it's not practical to have a earthbound god in a spellcaster deck because they have no effective means of getting it out. Spellcaster's don't have a strong enough recursion to support an earthbound god, unless you run it in an earthbound god deck, with a zombie search engine, pyramid turtle and double coston, then it would be worth puting magic city in, your earthbound gods would be virtually untouchable, and if all of the rest have effecs like Piscu where if they leave the field a secondary effect hurts your opp, well, that speaks for itself, awesome. I hope we see more suport for these guys, and mayube a spellcaster earthbound god!

The thing about Endymion, though, is it still can be bounced, by likes of Brionac, which everyone and their grandma uses, which is why I mentioned Zombie World. I'm not even going to try to adv. summon the thing; instead, I'm going to dump it with Foolish Burial and revive it with cards mentioned above. If my field gets blown up and Earthbound has to leave, I can just play another one and revive, which is easier with Zombie World's "everyone's a Zombie" effect, an advantage Endymion doesn't have. (Also, use Teleporter if it's Piscu and watch the fireworks, just like how Zero would normally be used. It may get destroyed when it comes back, but at least the effect would go through) It also protects itself against that accursed Gaius, which Endymion also can't evade. (Then again, Zombie World can be destroyed by staples like Heavy Storm and the ever-hateful DAD and Lyla, so I guess you can argue that it kinda cancels out each other)

Eh, I'm sure MT's either busy translating or going OMG at the power level of the yet unseen cards. (Or he didn't get them scans yet) Either way, let's not rush him-I'm sure he'll pull through.

Anyways, He set up spots for all 80 cards. What's interesting is this new Dragons-only Synchro - Could it be the first Frembell monster outside the DT? Although, it's more likely to be a new one for Jack. Bummer that it's a LV10, which means you'll need at least 2 big Dragons, or something like 'Magna Drago' plus either 'Blue-Eyes', 'Red Daemon's Dragon' or 'Stardust Dragon'...
I guess there's a good chance of there being a LV3 or 4 Dragon Tuner, but then, there was no plant besides 'Tomaboo' to team with 'Night Rose Knight' in the last set...

The cool update was 'Master Jeeg', who can bust through an even-sided field. It's a shame that it's a LV8, but then there's always 'Aport' from CSOC.

hey hey, who is grumpy about whom :P

Well, thanks for the patience. Set was released today in parts of Asia, and we already have an almost complete spoiler down. Well, maybe some minor mistakes in or missing stuff, but that will be fixed/updated later ;)

No offense, but many things in this pack I think are great. I'm actually going to name quite a few things I saw:
-New Black feather cards, obviously. They're going to be a really nice decktype.
-New plant cards
-New morphtronic/deformer cards and support, some really good ones too.
-Earthbound Gods, which can be used real well in certain decks, like CB.
-Few new psychic cards
-Some deck killers (like Golem, which is obviously made to murder LS and Counter Fairies, or the GB Hunter)
-Some nice water/sea serpent support. A friend of mine just got back into YGO and is making a water deck, so he'll be pleased for that.
-A few awesome new synchros, including Trident Dragon, which I can already see OTK potential out of him, and Power Tool Dragon is a beast in deformer decks especially when ran with double tool. Not to mention the splashable sea-serpent, as you stated.
-Some new tuner cards/support.
-Hell, even rocks get decent support.

The only cards I see in this pack not being very good are some of the more random cards and the core chimail stuff (I don't see how they fit in a deck of their own myself. Maybe in different decks by themselves, sure... Maybe Ancient Prophecy will make them better). But there's tons of support and good cards in here.

I especially love the deformer support. Scopen is just awesome to get out this synchros you need. Summon it in attack, use the attack effect, discard gadget driver to switch it to defense, then synchro for any level 8 you got, like stardust or the new power tool in this pack. Pretty nice. And gadget arms is just Godly for a flip effect. Recycling copies of accelerator has never been easier. Double Tool makes Power tool more usable, and also gives more firepower to your other powerhouse deformers, like boomboxen, while locking your opponent's attacks. And deformer bind is just what deformers needed. Gravity bind has worked before, but only for the stall/burn strategy. It screws over the otk strategy. Bind kicks gravity to the curb, and allows the deck even more freedom for both strategies. Very, very nice. Can't wait to use these in my own deformer deck.

Although Aliens only got 1 new card, that one card is actually fairly decent, so much so, that the moment I read it, I knew what it could be used for: Alien-monite. Pretty much getting material for a level 8 synchro as well as cursing your opponent with two free A counters. Nice.

Golem and GB Hunter are going to be popular side deck material. It's just obvious, especially when those two cards are pretty much killers to 3 separate deck types.

Dragon's Vanguard might be a fan-favorite to those run Blue eyes. As well as Trident Dragon is just a beat in any dragon deck, filled with OTK possibilities. Even though the requirements seem high, it can still be easily done.

Psychics get field advantage in the form of Master Jeeg. With the capabilities of the psychics dominating the field, it's not hard at all to wipe an entire army of monsters off the field, and all with a mere 1000 LP, which is easily refunded by using android or thought ruler. Not to mention it's 8 stars, so you got a mind master on the field, it's a nice card to combo in the summoning of the psychic gunner, for a little extra firepower. Psycho-path is just an excellent recycling card after you've used those emergency teleports, or used lifetrancer's ability a few times, or perhaps your thought ruler got removed from play for some reason like D prison. Psycho-path is a helping hand in all of that.

Mirror of Curse Words (lol at the name, wonder how it will be censored in the TCG xD) is just another killer of the glads. And it gives you a free card in return? Yeah, that will probably definitely be sided by people.

One for One is nice when comboed with plague and hedgehog.

That's just quite a few things I picked up from skimming through this pack. I, for one, can't wait for this pack. It'll help 3 different decks of mine and help me build another (I actually plan on making a black feather deck, provided it's cheap enough in the TCG).

Forrenz : Angels don't need any more support. With Honest, Valhalla and Christia, they're powerful as they are already.
Triforce :
I agree with you on most things, but just a few things -
Golem and GB won't be really effective because A : Honest still beats the crap out of Golem. and B : GB's stats are a bit of a liability. (I swear, Honest had SO better be at least restricted for March)
Jeeg.. from that text, it doesn't sound like you can use the ability if you control more monsters than your opponent, since it doesn't say "up to".
One for One is really a blessing for SKULL SERVANT decks. (Dum dum duuuuum)

Edit: I'm gonna have to take back what I said for GB. Gladial Beasts just can't break through this thing, statwise.

Gravity Bind also affects yourself, while Deformer Bind affects only your opponent ;)

Exactly, and that's why I said they're pushing it. They don't NEED something like this.

Sure, why not? If Skill Drain can, so can this.

Magic Planter : Well, MT says continuous TRAPs. So unless MT mistranslated (which I don't see happening, since Aki was chucking Ivy Shackle in the anime, which was indeed a continuous trap) we are NOT going to see this in normal plant decks.

Yups, it's Trap. It's not like I'm save from doing mistakes, but that is sure. You can also see this on the card artwork (well, I have already, but we haven't an image on the sites up yet), that it isn't anymore a Magic card that is dissolved in the liquid, but a Trap card. This was probably done in accordance with the change of the effect.

I'm not sure, but I think in one of the last sets there was one of Aki's card, that was a Magic in the anime, but was changed into a Trap as well. (Wasn't that Ivy Shackle, dunno?)

I still think it's a good card to get rid of one of your 'Royal Decrees', letting you use Traps again as well as letting ya draw 2 cards...
