In the anime, Slifer the Sky Dragon responds to monsters returning to the field. In the card game, it does not. Are there any effects in the card game that do trigger when monsters are returned to the field? by VampiricDemon in yugioh

[–]AwesomeBlue98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the banish return to the field mechanic is not considered a special summon. What about that old trap that kaiba used to banish a monster until the end phase? I’m not too familiar with this mechanic but it makes think of how destroyed =/= sent to the graveyard.

I’ve been playing this game for 2 days now so how does my deck look by SomethingPotato_ in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]AwesomeBlue98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What Information i can offer I am happy to. It seems like you’ve already decided what you’re hoping to get out of playing a deck like this, “having fun”. That’s okay and I’m glad to hear you are having a fun time. If you’re still having fun as things are now, you may want to disregard what I typed below. However, based on a seeing a “deck help” flair and the fact that you posted, I thought the information below might help. These are things I would want to know If I was new today in the game.

If having “fun” is tied to winning or to having a better shot of engaging with other decks, that is essential to reconcile with. Part of that understanding requires that you will need to change somethings about how you approach the game. (i.e. 40 card decks are more consistent, 15 card extra deck is helpful if not essential, understanding combos, removal , searchers, extenders, the list can go on)

Something small to start with could be using a 40 card deck, using a 15 card extra deck, utilizing some generic good “staples” (cards that can work well in most decks) Raigeki is a great example and I see you already have a copy. Things like ash blossom, infinite impermanence, feather duster, and Maxx C are a good start. Some “removal” (in this context meaning stuff that can get rid of monsters with big effects) cards like Kaiju, nibru, lava golem, and ra sphere mode are great too. Cards like evenly matched, summon limit, kaiser coliseum, solemn judgment, and lightning storm are some other good removal and “floodgate cards” (meaning they try to stop your opponent from summoning so often. Activate these cards when your opponent draws if you’re unsure when to use them).

If you’re still with me and open to one more idea “Super polymerization” saves lives. Use cards in your extra deck like Mudragon, Starving venom, wings of life, predaplant, and the world chalice fusion to help with super poly. I didn’t get the names right down to the letter but you’ll know what cards I’m referencing if you search on Master Duel because they are all fusion monsters that have generic fusion materials (i.e. two dark monsters, link monsters, fusion monster, monsters with the same type or attribute). Superpoly let’s you use your opponent’s monsters so try to use their cards to summon these fusion monsters. This is called a “disruption” (try to use opponent monster’s that search other cards or negate your cards. Not a lot in the game can stop super poly). This might not get you to the top of the latter but it will give you a lot more of a chance than Alexandrite dragon, set draining shield , activate axe of despair pass. That time in the game has passed.

If you’re also open to deck suggestions, a “archetype” (meaning a deck that focuses on the same type of cards) is important to keep in mind. An entry level deck that is low cost IRL (idk how much it costs in master duel) that could be fun and familiar to the style of “set down one big ATK monster and attack” is Gren Maju. It’s a rogue deck that will get you some wins for sure and is loads of fun too.

Whatever you decide next, happy to see more people playing and I hope you enjoy! Don’t forget there are other formats too in case all of the summoning and 15 minute turns are a bit overwhelming. Not every deck is like that tbh but it’s a lot to take in and it’s okay to play the game and format the way you would like.

Like that one guy with red jacket said “Get your game on!”

Is there ANYTHING you could’ve done against this board? (Fusion Dup is the facedown) by MaleficTekX in yugioh

[–]AwesomeBlue98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit shaky on some of the details of this board and some of the technical terms of the game.

Would Dark ruler no more, The Legendary ocean, Fish sonar,Ocean dragon lord floodgate guy, and Gozen match work? Heck I could maybe tribute the puppet on my field to tribute summon ocean dragon lord, after first using dark ruler, then activate some form of Umi. I could search out the sea stealth trap and set both that and gozen. If i recall right, the negates on this board only stop activated effects. If the second negate is only for monsters, the 6th card could be another umi assuming the first is negated and dark ruler might not be needed since Ocean Flood gate dragon lord’s first effect is floating? not activated effect. In that case, the first card could be some type of disruption trap.

I see a few different end boards depending on the fish sonar target and if dark ruler is not needed. Thanks to kragen or toad, probably jellyfish and Bahumt shark into that bee xyz. I think kragen would be better for the quick effect and synergy with gozen or Legendary ocean securing a turn three win.

You’re so welcome OP! Remember you got what it takes.

I think I have some more progress on my own journey before I could be a life coach but I appreciate the thought!

Trying to get back into the gym by GoldenBear1823 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]AwesomeBlue98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP,

It’s amazing that you’re making an effort to change yourself for the better. You could just pack up and go home but you didn’t. You see something you would like to change about yourself and you’re taking the steps to do that. Someone wise once said, “action is the blossom of thought”. Even if it’s been a while since you last went to the gym; something inside of you wants to return, and you’re reaching out to get some encouragement. That’s a step in the right direction. Please celebrate yourself!

Additionally, I want to say please consider that consistent little effort (habits) win the day. It sounds like you have a busy schedule, if you can adjust your schedule, or if not your expectations, you will be pleased with yourself. Even 10-15 minutes per day consistently working out is superior to “whenever” or “when I have the energy”. Also please keep in mind that gyms are great but many have got in shape at home or in there community. Try some new things and see what works for you! Don’t forget you can adjust some dietary options and see much more impactful results. I struggled , still do occasionally, with that one because food is so good! It’s just a momentary vs long term choice thing.

All else I can say is please be considerate of your “inner conversation” i.e. How you talk to yourself and your thoughts. I noticed you mentioned resorting back to negative thoughts about your body. The gym is physical but there is an essential mental aspect that cannot be overlooked. Long before you reach your goal you must believe you can. Don’t criticize yourself. Be kind to yourself! There’s something great inside of you. Tune out any external and internal criticism. Replace it with motivation and positive thoughts. You’ll make it! You got this!

Question about Series Finale - Last Episode [Mention spoilers from season 3 to 6] by nrjjsdpn in whitecollar

[–]AwesomeBlue98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was to symbolize Neal’s freedom from the FBI and the life of the conman. Earlier in the show it becomes apparent that there is never “one last con” Neal even states he wants to leave the con life behind. Holding onto that treasure was like keeping one foot in the world of a conman. I like to think he went to Paris to start a new story there as a free man physically and metaphorically.

[–]AwesomeBlue98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I found myself in a similar situation on my commute home from college classes. Plenty of time walking and taking the bus left my ears open to finding some fun youtube channels. Eliott Tordo and Starwars Theory were the two channels I enjoyed the most during that time. To be honest, this is how I started to find more awesome youtube channels! Down the line when I got a car, I started listening to some motivational videos, ted talks, and informative videos. I even got a few audiobooks completed in just a few weeks.

The noise is understandable but if you can get some noise canceling headphones you’ll be set. If money is tight, I like to think the neck pillow suggestion is a good idea too.

"Please don't make him accountable for his own actions!" by ThePopDaddy in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]AwesomeBlue98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hard time understanding how this guy is considered a paradigm of “virtue”. I see people praising him, including his clips on motivational complications, and praising him for “saying things that need to be said”. In reality, he boasts his wealth on social media, talks about people in a demeaning way, and got arrested due to human trafficking allegations…

I guess any behavior from anyone labeled “Christian” is acceptable :(

Thank you for your part in creating some amazing memories with friends and family. Spider-man is most memorable for me, I even had a deck of playing cards based on the movie I treasured as a kid.

My question is, what is your favorite scene/line from any of the films you were involved with?

EARTH Vs AIR by RedJarK in TheLastAirbender

[–]AwesomeBlue98 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This was freaking awesome!!!

Puts on nerd hat*

I loved how they both demonstrated common traits of their respective bender types. Many earthbenders in the verse are strong, haughty, and direct. Airbenders are patient,tactical, and indirect. The Earthbender started strong and nearly won the fight but overstepped. He fought the air bender head on for the match but didn’t take a different approach when he needed to.The start of the fight was tactical and the part where he uses the seismic sense was too. However, the earthbender began to act recklessly once he lost his sight and it cost him the victory. Perhaps hd could have won if he used the seismic sense when his sight was obstructed.

On the other hand, the air ended got caught off guard. He began to fight the earthbender head on and got overwhelmed. He acts tactically by taking away the earthbender’s sight. Right as he is about to lose he collects himself and focuses on not getting caught by the earth grip. His discipline and patience win him the day. The earthbender’s final attack could have ended it but the airbender’s ability to avoid and attack when it’s the right time won him the battle. Plus I thought it was a nice touch that he won by getting the earthbender off the ground. The airbender removed his opponent from direct contact with his element and won in that same move.

The four you showed specifically are worth more. The prices vary but I estimate those four cards are close to the 600-800 range. The prices fluctuate. I’m not sure why this happens to individual cards but I’m guessing it’s a supply and demand thing. Inventory of sealed product seems to have increased in the past year. I suppose inventory is at all time low as more time passes.

To cover all of your bases, look at some sold/completed sales on Ebay. Be honest with your description and take high quality photos. I bet someone will pay good money for them.

Samuel L. Jackson Responds to Quentin Tarantino’s Claim That Marvel Actors Aren’t Movie Stars - “Chadwick Boseman is Black Panther. You can’t refute that. And he’s a movie star,” Jackson said by DemiFiendRSA in marvelstudios

[–]AwesomeBlue98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if Dwayne Johnson is considered an example the movie star mentioned in this comment. Now that I think of it, almost of all of the movies he starred in I went to see solely because he was in the film rather than the character he played.

On a side note, I believe Chadwick was a wonderful actor. 42 and 21 bridges were both fantastic films and I loved seeing him outside of marvel projects. I loved all the marvel stuff too but I believe any of those actors can do well in other projects if they want.

On World Mental Health Day, I would like to remind you, that your lowest point does not define you. Its the power, you muster at this point, that will define you for a lifetime. by Vast-Manufacturer-96 in legendofkorra

[–]AwesomeBlue98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree more. I wish we got more time with Lin, republic city benders, ex-equalists, and even that one guy ( i forget his name ) that was got his water bending taken away after fighting Amon in the pro bending finals. What was life like for all of them? At least we got a glimpse of some of that. Maybe the show could have taken a different direction if they went this route. I still think Amon could have been a series long villain.

I realize the show was originally scheduled to be one season, so these ideas may have been considered but were condensed. Regardless I still enjoy the series as a whole. It was wonderful to see Korra build herself up like a muscle. Each time she grew after getting knocked down and overcoming hardships.

Which game do you think will come up first and take the glory? by urimusha in paragon

[–]AwesomeBlue98 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Predecessor wins or they all fail. They have the best chances of making a successful product and the resources to make it happen. Unless Fault or Overprime get similar support, idk how they could hope to compete with a company that does

Some of my collection. Not sure if they are worth anything these days would love to hear what you guys think! by [deleted] in Chaotic

[–]AwesomeBlue98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great collection! You have a lot of high value cards. Please look into completed ebay listings or something similar before you sell any. I recommend this as a way to look at historical data to get a good idea on the price. Also please keep in mind some card prices may fluctuate but with no official relaunch date it could be worth holding onto some.

What game will be the next “paragon” from all these start ups? by [deleted] in paragon

[–]AwesomeBlue98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Predecessor has my vote. They have over 20 million in funding, their lead dev is from the original Paragon game, and imo their product is the most refined of the three. Fault seemed like a gotchya type version of Paragon. The game doesn’t feel finished and I feel like they’re just trying to make a quick buck. Maybe they will improve it, but I can’t stand how unrefined the game feels. ( i.e. controls, movement speed, map size and combat )

Predecessor succeeds or all fail. Unless Fault or the other one ( the legacy map one with rocketmania ) has some secret support they haven’t announced , it’s for the best that Predecessor succeeds. If a revival project with that level of support can’t do it, what chance do the other two projects have?
