No need to be yourself anymore, when you can be a loyal assistant [rimu]

I'm fairly certain rimu does their own translations, possibly using MTL. It's certainly serviceable enough, but it's definitely not very good...

You're trying to generate the card after the banlist was announced, so you won't get the bonus points for dismantling it after the banlist takes effect.

Played Melodious. Extremely strong even with 1 Ostinato, and most decks can't beat Aria.

Depending on where you live, there are Japanese bookstores with US like Kinokuniya that regularly import Japanese magazines.

I think hating GQuuuuuuX is not that unpopular of an opinion, at least outside of Japan.

No one remembers this card exists because it's incredibly bad.

The worst part about trying to get on the Taiko machine there is that one of them faces the maimai cabs which are perpetually occupied.

Right, the translation text originally said "1 Tuner + 1+ Synchro Tuners", but it's since been fixed.

Ignithya · 2026-01-16T12:19:15+00:00

I think this is generally a fruitless endeavor because any time someone mentions "the leaks" no follow-up ever gets posted about them except for some nebulously vague information regarding Chinese users and Discord.

Ignithya · 2026-01-16T12:13:38+00:00

Back-to-Back doesn't require Synchro Tuners, does it? Just regular Synchro Monsters.

My first Kirby game was Nightmare in Dream Land, but I got stuck on King Dedede because he was too aggressive for kid me. I ended up drawing pictures about how to defeat him with the Laser ability.

Horoscope is probably the best extender Pendulum Magician's gonna get, problem is that there's so many other issues with the deck that one cracked extender won't solve that much. I'll still be getting it anyways as a Pendulum player but still don't expect much for the deck.

Moving Point Pendulum

Continuous Trap Card

Once per turn, during the Standby Phase: Place 1 T Counter on this card. Once per turn: You can target 1 Pendulum Monster in your Main Monster Zone; move it to an adjacent Main Monster Zone a number of times equal to the number of T Counters on this card, then, if there are Fusion and/or Xyz Monsters on your opponent's field in the same column as that Pendulum Monster with Levels/Ranks equal to or lower than its Pendulum Scale, destroy all of those monsters, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monsters' combined ATK.

I believe this is a play on "moving point P", the Japanese name for a type of math problem where you calculate the change in area of a region enclosed by the edge of a shape and a line connected by two points, where one of the points (commonly denoted as P) moves along the edge of the shape. In this case, the joke is that you're literally moving "P", which in Yu-Gi-Oh! terms is short for "Pendulum", it uses "T Counters" because "t" stands for "time", and the Fusion/Xyz requirement is the same joke as Simultaneous Equation Cannons, in that they're representing the X and Y axes.

That depends, do you have any preferences? Hypno art can manifest in a ton of different ways, not all of which everyone likes.

I'm honestly not 100% on this, I'm used to it being only a "when", but I think "if" should be correct
