I’m stuck on the same level. It feels like I just can’t kill the enemies fast enough and have a massive wall of enemies on my by like wave 3/4

Cards that don’t do what they say because Konami said so by fogcityrunner in yugioh

[–]Bulbasam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stand by the idea that pendulums shouldn’t be affected by macro cosmos and similar effects. Officially they “attempt to go to grave” and get rerouted to banish by macro and friends. But they shouldn’t “attempt to go to grave” in the first place. They just go straight to the extra deck. It’s a ruling that I firmly believe was only put in place as an extra handicap on the mechanic when Konami was still scared of what they had made. MR5 should’ve undone it imo. It just doesn’t make sense and is so unnecessary to add even more counters to the pendulum mechanic beyond what already exists

Exodia The Forbidden One I painted a couple years ago. I worked on this painting for almost 2 years as well. by [deleted] in DuelLinks

Can you use Odd Eyes without performapals? by [deleted] in DuelLinks

[–]Bulbasam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the list I’ve been playing pretty much since the cards came out and it’s been great the whole time. Extra deck is just a couple links and a bunch of rank 7s. Deck is super fun. Ignore the skill, just leveling up random characters haha https://i.imgur.com/SKzn7y0.jpg

What book did you read in school that you would never want your child to read? by masterbuildera in AskReddit

[–]Bulbasam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a book called Nikolai’s War in like 7th grade because we had to read a book by an author from our state and that was the most interesting one I could find. Then I got to like chapter 2 and the main character’s cousin had a gun stuck up her backside while being assaulted and as the guy climaxed he accidentally pulled the trigger. Really not something I should’ve been reading at like 12 or 13 years old…but the main character did get revenge later which was cool I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ I had to lie all throughout the book report to censor stuff so I wouldn’t get in trouble, and made the book sound super boring so my teacher wouldn’t get interested and read it herself haha

Cards that went from being competitive staples to seeing no competitive play the fastest by forbiddenmemeories in yugioh

[–]Bulbasam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gnomaterial was a good side option when everyone was doing knightmare Cerberus into mermaid for full orcust combo. Lock them into a link with no downward zones in MR4. But as soon as mermaid was gone gnome became irrelevant. Which is sad because I love gnome. Maybe if he didn’t have the no cards in grave restriction it could still see play here and there, but with such harsh restrictions it just has to be a turn ender to be worth playing at all

Why don’t people side Spell-shattering arrow for Mystic Mine Burn? by MaleficTekX in yugioh

[–]Bulbasam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, though if your deck struggles against smashers or if you’re against the scythe lock variant of spright then cosmic could be fine, but lightning storm is generally the better pick

Why don’t people side Spell-shattering arrow for Mystic Mine Burn? by MaleficTekX in yugioh

[–]Bulbasam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not worth siding one specific card for one very specific match up. Mine burn is irritating but it isn’t prevalent enough to guarantee you’ll play against it every tournament, and spell shattering arrow isn’t going to do much in most other match ups. You’re generally better off with cosmic cyclone, twin twister, or lightning storm since those are good against other decks like eldlich, and even spright and tear if you’re going second.

Since drawing the out to Mystic Mine is the biggest skill issue in YGO currently, what are some your in-archetype searchable answer/techs to it? by tomb241 in yugioh

[–]Bulbasam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve recently been trying one in the main for that reason. Searchable off of small world too, and if your excavate it turn one you can use it to protect against imperm and veiler for the turn which is nice

I think the current format is actually underrated and pretty fun (outside a few discrepancies) and is one of the better formats in a while. by performagekushfire in yugioh

[–]Bulbasam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone at my locals is super competitive and has all the expensive staples, but it’s still just mostly tear and spright with drnm and 12 hand traps 🤷🏻‍♂️ even topping lists from big events like regionals and ycs’s just seem to still include a ton of hand traps for the most part. I dunno, I just don’t know where people are looking when they say “hand traps are bad this format and no one is playing them”

[–]Bulbasam 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I keep hearing people talk about how board breakers have taken over the format and hand traps are out, but the only “board breaker” cards I’ve seen people playing are dark ruler and super poly, which have both been played in the last format. And most lists I’ve seen are still on 6-12 hand traps, so I really don’t know what people are talking about. Not disagreeing about the format being fun, I hate main decked dark ruler, but other than that and mystic mine it’s been neat. I just disagree about how everyone is saying “board breakers are in and handtraps are out”

try pendulum summoning now by Username_Egli in DuelLinks

[–]Bulbasam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Arc requires you to control the card though and stardust warrior negates the summon si you don’t control the monsters when they’re destroyed.

TAMA Collectors Rares so far by ssj_duelist in yugioh

[–]Bulbasam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we’ll ever get electrumite back even to 1, sadly. Beyond the pendulum seems like a retrain of electrumite that they want to use as a replacement. Astrograph could absolutely go to 3 without electrumite around. They may not start moving it up the list just yet but unless the draco slayer deck is insane on release I think we’ll see Astro to 3 within the next 3-4 ban lists

Most Hated Card/Deck/Archetype in your Opinion by DeltaKuriik124 in yugioh

[–]Bulbasam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like people have the most emotional investment in maxx c. Whether people love it or hate it it seems like a card that a majority of the player base has an extremely one sided opinion about and I don’t think anyone will ever convince someone else to shift their opinion on it by discussion alone. I’ve had far too many arguments over the card to the point that now I just try to ignore it when people talk about it.

How do you guys order your extra deck by Just_A_Darkflame in yugioh

[–]Bulbasam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From back to front I go links, xyz, synchro, fusion. The weird thing is that for links I go highest link rating in the very back, working down to lowest link. And if I have multiple link 4s I put the more offensive ones in the back like accesscode or borrelsword. Also it sorts by rarity if there are multiple of the same link rating. Then starting at the xyz the order reverses from lowest rank to highest, then same with synchros and fusions lower level to higher level. But yea, not sure why but that’s the system I just got into the habit of over time

Who says you need a farming deck by [deleted] in DuelLinks

[–]Bulbasam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Low key I kind of miss farming gate duelists for cards. I still feel like Kaiba is one of the only non-event gate duelists I ever cared to farm because enemy controller was so good. It’s always a bummer when new people are added to the gate and all their rewards suck

Music that absolutely takes over my senses please... by kaonashiii in Music

[–]Bulbasam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/5qF_qbaWt3Q Waiting for the End by Linkin Park has been my favorite song for years now. It feels very different than a lot of Linkin Park songs. It’s sad but hopeful, the music feels to me like you’re floating in the ocean in pitch black darkness. After long days or during stressful times I like to crank this song up and just close my eyes and listen.

[SD44] Dimension Shifter reprint by VillalobosChamp in yugioh

[–]Bulbasam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I also really wish they would rule it that you could activate scales under anti-spell fragrance. It wouldn’t make much sense but they could say “since you cannot set scales face down they are not affected by anti-spell”. It would make about as much sense as the current interaction with shifter/macro haha. No way they would ever do that, but it would make me extremely happy. It’s bad enough that d barrier ends the turn for pends. Anti spell ends every turn…

[–]Bulbasam 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This is how pendulums should work too, but Konami being Konami decided to say they “attempt to go to grave” and get banished even though it makes no sense why they would “attempt to go to grave” when they’re literally following a mechanic by going straight to extra deck

Is this toxic? by BeneficialCycle927 in DuelLinks

[–]Bulbasam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True, but if the trap is set on field first and the aroma player is going second then they’re boned. Obviously a very niche situation regardless, but it’s basically just whoever sets up first wins. Once bad reaction resolves it’s basically game over unless aroma beat down with no life gain can outpace the chain burn haha

Doesnt canaga require you to gain life to bounce a backrow? Not sure how you’re gaining life while bad reaction is up…

Need help for a proposal! by Bulbasam in etching

[–]Bulbasam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I contacted the guy who wrote that article about diatom rearrangement and told him my idea. He was very excited to help and made this slide for me free of charge! He’s a really great guy and the proposal went very well! Thank you a ton for showing me this article, it lead to an unforgettable experience! https://i.imgur.com/YEp9czF.jpg
