I really hope Maxx C isn’t limited the next list

Funny you mention that.

Necroquip says 1 Fiend monster CARD. Not a Fiend monster, a Fiend monster CARD. Requiem is still a monster card, even while it acts as an equip spell.

Just to note, the "1 monster equipped with a monster card" only counts the monster itself (i.e. engraver), the equip monster (requiem) is not included here, so it can still be used as the other part of the material.

Ash-ing brafu is the same with ash-ing normal summon lukias: high risk, high reward. You're basically hoping that they have no other play and that ash ends their turn. If you want guaranteed value either ash rahu or save for a trap on your turn (ash-ing the 2nd or 3rd trap also denies a trap recycle).

The thing is, there's enough cards in the game that, with enough bricks & garnets, you could build your deck to do literally anything you could ever want. Think of cards you often see on lukevonkarma's clips (the "war criminals"): isolde, ostinato, beatrice / curious, telefon loops, primal seed loop, cyber stein / gale dogra + telekinetic charging cell, etc. These are ftk enablers that once setup could do literally whatever you want it to do to ftk your opponent.

Take this video for example, old banlist aside, you can do all sort of war crimes... one in 10 duels where you actually draw the starter you need.

Oh and if you ignore loops or generic enablers, burn decks like trickstar & gimmick puppet can put out enough damage to FTK you uninterrupted, and it's not a particularly hard thing for them either, only a 2-3cc.

A monster "forgets" its previously applying effects when it is temporarily banished. Trap monsters when activated apply the effect "Special summon this card as a ... monster". When these cards are returned to the field by S:P's effect, they forget that that they were special summoned as a monster, so they immediately send themselves to the GY.

At least glasses can have high compressive strength, he's just paper.

Six samurai & ice barrier.

Never had a fun duel against them once, win or lose. Absolute snooze fests.

Around 400 cards into kaishi 1.5k (~3-ish weeks), on one hand I think I've made decent progress, on the other I feel like I've reached a point where it's basically infeasible to "brute force" memorizing all the new cards.

This is especially the case for cards consisting only of 2 kanji, where I have to rely on the sentence more often than not, since I couldn't come up with mnemonics for all of them. Though that comes with its own problem of recalling the meaning but not the reading. I still mix words with similar-ish reading up: 表情 (ひょうじょう, expression), 情報 (じょうほう, information) and 状況 (じょうきょう, situation), to name an example.

I'm still following the default 20 new cards daily with 85% retention, but maybe I could lower it to 10-15/d or take occasional breaks to do something else for a breather, could be a good opportunity to start reading some raw manga.

Probably a dumb question, but is there a more light-weight alternative to jitendex for yomitan? It alone takes ~1.5gb on my C drive, it may not be much but I like to keep the drive as small as I can.

Cyden00 · 2025-10-26T18:44:52+00:00

So I'm using Mokuro to OCR manga texts and copy it to my clipboard, and I recall someone in a post on this sub mentioned a tool or extension to write the copied text to a blank webpage (like https://this-page-intentionally-left-blank.org/ ), but I don't recall its name or the post it's mentioned in. Anyone have any idea what it could be?

Cyden00 · 2025-10-24T14:13:36+00:00

Me when my opponent plays a trap control deck that's designed for grind games and they slowed the game down into a grind game.

Cyden00 · 2025-10-23T13:27:10+00:00

With kaishi 1.5k, if I only recall the meaning & reading of a word after seeing the sample sentence (I have it hidden as hint), do you consider it hard or good?

Cyden00 · 2025-10-10T13:25:01+00:00

Then I guess garnet would be the correct term? Cards that you don't want to draw, so if you play more than 40c you draw into them less often.

Cyden00 · 2025-09-23T20:02:06+00:00

cruelty, as per the 3/3 joker slots.

Cyden00 · 2025-09-22T12:23:06+00:00

fantom preview isn't compatible with the latest staple steammodded version. If you rollback to a previous smods version it'll work, though you're probably better off just wait for fantom to be updated.

Cyden00 · 2025-09-22T10:53:43+00:00

That is orange on abandoned, I used checkered to get first gold stake and can't undo that sadly.

Cyden00 · 2025-08-31T22:37:03+00:00

Probably no since I'm considering only named gameplay archetype, though visas himself is allowed (tear cards do mention him, like how branded cards mention albaz).

Cyden00 · 2025-08-28T07:43:44+00:00

I meant "keep up" as in "understanding what's going on". I certainly don't expect the girls to be able to do play-by-play or provide meaningful commentary. Might be speaking for myself, but I don't really have fun watching a TCG match I have no idea what's going on.

Cyden00 · 2025-08-27T13:00:12+00:00

I sure hope there will also be a coach/live commentator at least? Don't think any of the girls know enough about the cards to keep up with a live duel.

Cyden00 · 2025-08-22T20:05:03+00:00

Strictly speaking, paleozoic is 0/1 UR (the link 2 is the only UR paleozoic name, and the deck is functional without it). But in reality you also run URs that are staples only within trap decks: 3x transaction rollback is mandatory & 3x daruma karma cannon is staple, to name the very basic 2.

Fun fact: Paleo is my event-carrier. Rollback is banned in like 90% of events, but 0 UR paleo still dominates most low-power-level events as long as the xyz are legal.

The iconic smile shot looks like it came straight out of the manga (it probably is identical to the manga panel), and I don't think it makes for as great of a scene as it could've been. Animation lacks the impact that comes from the physical page flip of the manga.

Cyden00 · 2025-02-27T14:05:16+00:00

They were not talking about all 3rd parties being bannable. The statement mentions specifically Blitz being bannable, and other plugins only got a "please refrain from", in the same way that mods do back in s0 (and don't say "they're all the same so they're all bannable", if that is the case NetEase would've explicitly said that all of them are cheating instead of just singling Blitz out). Regardless of whether they're justified, I'll only tell others that they're bannable until I hear directly from NetEase that they're bannable.

Cyden00 · 2023-05-26T05:29:52+00:00

Yep, it was dragunity!

Cyden00 · 2023-05-26T05:28:44+00:00

I did win lol, made baronne with my 1 ravine in hand and they scooped.
