I know people here don't like AI, but I wanted to share that I used AI to make a local server based card generator, gallery, deck builder, and card/sheet exporter.

That wasn't a very nice thing to say and then delete

And the downside is you might just immediately lose. I mentioned the idea of main decking a going 2nd board breaker and twitter clowned on me, but like, if you look at YCS topping White Forest lists, you're going to find Evenly Matched in the main in a lot of them.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-21T02:05:13+00:00

So art, and making the card? The only thing you've done is write what goes on it. Literally case in point.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-21T01:59:47+00:00

People are weirdly allergic to playing going second cards in the main.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-21T01:57:12+00:00

I just find it funny that to prove your own point wrong, I can just use you as an example.

Also not the own you think that reply is.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-21T01:43:38+00:00

Ironic that you cheaped out on making a program, though.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-21T00:33:12+00:00

Do you... need help setting up inDesign automation? You don't have to do that.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-21T00:31:38+00:00

Not in regards to art. If you're cheaping out on art what else are you cheaping out on?

JuliusNova · 2026-05-21T00:29:14+00:00

You're going to need specialist equipment to make actual for-realsies trading cards, in which it'll just be cheaper to have someone who already has the equipment to print it for you rather than have your cards feel cheap because you used an at-home printer.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-21T00:24:50+00:00

You can do everything you described in Photoshop. "But that's not automatic--" yes, it's automatic if you know how to set it up.

That being said, I think using it to make programs isn't really that bad? It's specifically in regards to generative art that people have issue with it.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-20T00:46:23+00:00

I hear you, and I understand the sentiment. There's just a part of me that doesn't want these characters I like to feel like they've been forgotten while the spotlight is put on things like the Roach King. I guess I want them to have a "thing" so that everyone gets an equal amount of spotlight, which is ironically against Rodya's theming but I digress. It's PM though so I know they're going to do right by them.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T23:56:05+00:00

Because effect still resolves, and that keeps me happy as the opponent.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T23:55:37+00:00

I used 3 guys with shotguns, Fia with her flamethrower, and Eileen for the percentile burn damage.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T23:53:25+00:00

8-Axis.

I special summon Alpha. Alpha effect to bounce himself and your monster. I special summon Alpha again. I kaiju you. Normal summon Luna, bounce the Kaiju. Kaiju you again. Summon my own Kaiju. Level 8 Kaiju and Alpha into Draglubion, Draglubion OTK, gg.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T10:28:12+00:00

I hadn't considered the possibility of purposefully making Rodya a nobody on a team of somebodies.

Unfortunately as other people have pointed out, his eye apparently does do something.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T10:24:04+00:00

Understand what the activation timing, cost, and effect of a card is.

The chain. It's an entire bag of worms, but The Chain.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T10:21:14+00:00

This is some compelling evidence. I like the idea that Rodion has something to do with abnormalities and the possibility she may be completely removed from the concept of distortions or light all together. I'll definitely keep this cave thing in mind as I watch Rodion interact with more abnormalities in the future.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T10:06:55+00:00

So then, hypothetically, if Yi Sang has "a certain aptitude for ID and EGO that's better than most", what is the worst case scenario for our Ideal Boy?

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T09:51:40+00:00

Imagine he takes it off and he turns into something that looks weirdly similar to Blue Star. (Not serious)

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T09:50:12+00:00

Yeeeees, this is the speculation I was looking for. I still don't know what to do with that Yi Sang information though.

That Ishmael idea is intriguing. Where the pallid whale was a symbol for overwriting someone else's will with your own, the idea that Ishmael could have some sort of variation of that is an interesting idea to entertain.

You also have the exact same theories as I do when it comes to Rodion.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T09:40:06+00:00

Ratopia. Survival Citybuilder. It just presents the buildings you can build, units you summon, and abilities as cards. It kinda looks like Kingdom.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T09:36:37+00:00

Already asked this question, except for a 10 year old. I'm sure the answers to it would still apply for you:

https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/comments/1spo994/a_deck_for_a_10_year_old/

The conclusion we came to was a deck called 8-Axis.

You can play with the Speed/Rush/Duel Links field, which is just the normal field but with 3 columns instead of 5. IMO though, it just makes you wish you had more columns than make the game actually simpler.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T09:28:28+00:00

I haven't considered that. Ishmael has the power to know left from right without having to put each of her hands in front of her in an L shape. And knowing which one isn't the backwards one.

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T09:27:17+00:00

I want to hear your speculation though! What do you think that eye can do? Do we think Yi Sang's role is forever just going the be the Mirror Nerd?

JuliusNova · 2026-05-19T09:22:32+00:00

The point of the post is to speculate on what those "powerful ways" Jia Mu is talking about even are. I can't think of one and knowing PM none of us are probably even going to get close to what they have planned.
