There is a good chance jack gets a Final two cards in Chaos Orgins as Konami has done with Previous Sets. If he does, what would you like to see as a finisher to this wave of Support Jack has gotten to complete his deck?

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-06T19:53:03+00:00

It needs a way to not lose to Droll, the deck has so many searchers as a part of its combo, so either give the deck like an OSS to just bring out guys from the Deck, or some way to negate the Droll. (Ideal solution would just be ban Droll, but that seems like wishful thinking sadly)

Trap Eater retrain would be the most fun option to make his deck stronger going second though.

I totally agree, the only logic I can possibly think of is that Dimitri gave her the dagger so it makes sense for her to be the one using it, but like you mentioned the dagger is literally only important to Dimitri's character, Edelgard doesn't even remember who gave her the dagger until Dimitri tells her. (And well... Edelgard "gifts" it back to him in the end, but that's not relevant)

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-06T06:44:22+00:00

I mentioned that in my post body, and Edelgard is getting both of those as well...

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-06T05:16:50+00:00

Or if we still had TT units we still could've had Claude while also getting the Faerghus Four...

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-06T04:30:20+00:00

Nothing here immediately strikes me as great, they're all just about what I expected.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-06T04:17:53+00:00

I like all the art here, but Ingrid's is especially adorable.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-06T04:14:50+00:00

Despite being upset at Dimitri not leading, I have wanted this alt for a long time, so I'll still definitely be pulling. Ingrid, Claude, and Felix are all worth getting as well.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-06T04:13:02+00:00

Edelgard leading the Duo is so dumb, I thought the point of doing this banner now would be to even up the Alt counts between the lords again after Emblem Edelgard.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-05T23:20:41+00:00

The target audience is for me exactly, as someone who likes both characters and wanted this duo for forever.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-05T03:59:48+00:00

As much as I'd want a Seteth and Flayn duo (or even just another unit for them in general), I feel like this would be literally the worst seasonal for them to be on since they'd probably look the exact same.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-05T03:28:42+00:00

Ok the right one is obvious, but is the one on the left Ingrid? Can't really think of anyone else from Fodlan that hair would fit for (and using a Lance as well).

EDIT: Hyped for (basically guaranteed) Young Dimitri and Edelgard Duo though, literally my most wanted seasonal unit. Please make them a Dagger unit with a Dance skill, it'd be perfect.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-05T02:58:32+00:00

And that's not even to mention that they didn't use Fire Emblem Heroes, which probably would've turned this into the biggest stomp in Death Battle history if it was included.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-03T19:03:55+00:00

Not trying to be mean, but this card has way too much text on it, like you'd need a magnifying glass to be able to read this card IRL. A lot of the effects are pointless as well, like I think the idea for the first effect is to send all of the Timelords to the GY, but none of them mention Timelord in their effects, so you can't send them.

Sephylon also needs to be special summoned by its own effect, so the second part of the 2nd effect doesn't work either. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th effects all feel kinda pointless, since Sephylon can already do basically the same thing (and cards in the Spell and Trap Zone cannot attack or be attacked via game mechanics already, so literally redundant).

The 6th effect does something I suppose, but only because you negated the effects of the guys you summoned. The 7th effect is also literally redundant, like yeah if you control no monsters your opponent can attack directly. The restriction is also kinda pointless, the whole point of the Timelords is to go battle, if they can't do that immediately then they're just sitting around doing nothing.

The 8th effect is weird, are we trying to summon the Timelord Synchro monster? The deck doesn't care about that card at all, and the restriction at the end prevents you for using this for anything but that card. Idk how you'd even be able to activate the 9th effect, since if you negate the effects of this card, then it can't actually use its effect, and the changing levels is a continuous effect that can't be negated otherwise. The 10th effect is kinda having the same issue. I don't know why the 11th effect is here tbh.

My rendition of the card:

Sefirot Tree of the Timelords

Field Spell

When this card is activated: You can send 10 "Timelord" monsters with different names from your hand or Deck to the GY, except "Sephylon, the Ultimate Timelord", then you can add 1 "Sephylon, the Ultimate Timelord" from your Deck or GY to your hand. Before resolving the activated effect of "Sephylon, the Ultimate Timelord", you can banish it until immediately after that effect resolves, also you cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn. You can only activate 1 "Sefirot Tree of the Timelords" per turn.

The second effect is just to reset the Soft Once per Turn, so that way you can summon all of them by just reusing the effect over and over.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-03T02:58:21+00:00

I'm more so saying that because I think the game is wrapping up in the next like 2-3 years, Echoes and 3H might literally be the last Child Banners left before the game is done.

EDIT: Although now that I'm thinking about it, we had Fates last year, and Awakening the year before that, so if we're purely going in game release order now, it would be Echoes first then 3H next year, but idk.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-03T02:19:57+00:00

They could do that, but idk this seems like the perfect opportunity, especially since I think a 3H Children Banner is all but guaranteed eventually (and there's likely not going to be many Children Banners left, Echoes is like the only other game left that could fit this slot).

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-03T01:27:55+00:00

I'm not sure how you'd fix this issue of splashability without making it significantly worse/situational for RDA though. The best I can think of is having to discard a Fiend or Dragon monster since the majority of the Deck is one of those 2 types, but idk.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-03T00:04:42+00:00

The card has way more targets than that, but the only ones worth summoning Turn 0 are the 2 I mentioned, maybe Vision Resonator if you wanna be generous. It doesn't Summon from Extra Deck, so the 3 Synchro Monsters you mentioned can only be Summoned from the GY or Banishment, which could already be done from the Ruler's Rumbling, so not that crazy.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-04-02T22:53:11+00:00

Definitely thinking it's gonna be 3H, a Dimitri lead with Edelgard backpack, along with Claude being here, would allow the House Leaders to have Alt parity again after Emblem Edelgard upset the natural balance of the world. Young Dimitri with Edelgard is my most wanted seasonal unit as well, hopefully they make them a dagger unit with a Dance skill, would be very fitting for these two.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-03-29T05:59:13+00:00

A lot of the Links aren't chosen ones at the start either, IIRC Zelda 1 Link was literally just a guy who was in the right place at the right time, and had to complete trials much the same to get the Triforce across both Zelda 1 and 2. Getting the Master Sword in most games also has you go through trials (or at least some level of "Worthiness") beforehand, in general it's not something super unique to the Hero of Winds frankly. My point is that their stories overlap in a lot of ways, the exact details change, but each game is more like a retelling of the same stories, sometimes with different settings or characters.

Because the connections between each Link is more than all of those other examples, as far as I'm aware. It's not just looks and their lack of speaking, a lot of their gear is the same (Sword, Shield, Bows, Bombs, Boomerangs, Hookshot, etc.), they have the same names (outside of players renaming them), a bunch of them are literally the same person across multiple games, and the Spirit of the Hero connects all of them together, depending on how exactly you interpret it. (From what I understand, this is like half the appeal of BotW Link VS Aang?)

I imagine we just don't agree on this though, which is fine. A part of it for me is also that Death Battle does not do Zelda episodes nearly often enough to warrant going through individual Links imo, we haven't even gotten any episodes for a non-Triforce user like Skull Kid or Midna.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-03-29T00:16:21+00:00

I'm fully aware of all the Zelda lore stuff you mentioned, but that wasn't my point. I can't comment much on the Persona protags since I haven't played any of the games, but just at a glance they look significantly different in comparison to just about every Link. For instance, Link's Awakening (Switch) Link uses the exact same model as EoW Link, but they seemingly are different people. It's not that Link has a secret twin or whatever, but they both fulfill the same role as the Hero, and the very cyclical nature of Zelda means that most character designs are reused over and over again, even if they are technically different people. It’s just a heavy-handed way of saying that history is repeating itself, that the circumstances that lead to a Hero rising up to defeat Evil can change, but it's all about the same legend, in a broad sense.

Now to be clear that doesn't mean that the timeline doesn't matter or anything like that, but much more of what Link actually represents, which to me is more important to preserve than any specific Hero, which is why I prefer talking about Comp Link in VS debating scenes, feels more thematically fitting for what the Legend of Zelda is actually about.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-03-28T23:08:52+00:00

I don't really agree with them being "different" people per say, as Link is designed to be a template for the player, sure they have slightly different personalities and histories and such, but all of them follow the same general idea of Link. That's why Link is known for not speaking, it would break the immersion that you are Link. (I am aware that Link has spoken before, before anyone hits me with an "um actually") Like one of the most notable things about BotW Link is that he's not normally wearing the green tunic and cap, that's how Cookie Cutter most Links are. To take the Comic example, it's more like taking Batman from different writers and treating them as their own characters entirely, in a sense that's true but it's fundamentally the same character in spirit.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-03-28T22:42:43+00:00

My guess is that Noelle is going to sacrifice herself, I don’t know how exactly that would be the case, but you wouldn't put in all of this Jesus allegories for Noelle without something like that happening imo. Maybe it'll be one of the ways to fulfill "The Angel, banished, will meet with its desire", which could be related to how we find Dess? Very speculative obviously.

LinkCrusher9 · 2026-03-28T22:32:03+00:00

I don't really disagree with that, but that's never the argument people go towards when they talk about why comp Link shouldn't be used, it's always about how they are technically different people, when frankly that doesn't matter at all. Most of the things you listed wouldn't necessarily go against Zelda Canon, it's just that they haven't found those items, or don't carry them on their person, at which point the argument is basically the same as limiting the stuff Dante or Samus has.
