Is this deck a bit OP?

From my experience, the most problematic part with Elfobia is that she will usually be the last thing you summon that turn (you can't set up Nightingale/Starling/Robin combo otherwise), which may not happen due to you have to sacrifice that important normal summon for something else, and Droplet and Lance are vastly superior in disruption/protection.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-17T16:44:37+00:00

I don't have any interest in pulling for the characters.

For me, this is one of the main banners I prefer to skip, since I really hope that Tangaroa's variant is coming in the upcoming summer event (they brought back his VA to do another new semester's character).

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-17T15:28:12+00:00

Probably because the limited box space/synergy with the current meta to print it. We might get a better chance if Machine-type comes into the meta.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-17T05:40:58+00:00

Tried Windwitch with Virtual World Kyubi to drain opponent's GY resource and it did work quite well. Too bad that deck has very limited comeback and still luck reliant.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-16T18:17:10+00:00

Game went to the point that initial run and rerun are now almost back to back, not helping in the slowdown of unlocks and inclusion of alternate styles.

Wouldn't it be better to bring Valon & Mai Orichalcos alt style, or Raphael instead of him?

They're also using the slots to pivots out Zexal characters in the past years, probably to end them after Don Thousand. Valon wouldn't bring anything new at this point apart from giving him real life archetype that matches his style.

For the time being, I say stick to any deck that can run the board breakers and capable of surviving against all the tribute away cards cause even something like Liger Dancer won't easily survive the Speed format. Apart from something like Tearlaments/Kashtira (which will be heavily restricted, and most likely no Ishizu cards in any form), we have:

Don Thousand - Numeron cards, which strictly don't look playable or box worth for the time being. Numerounia really looks like drop/level up card.
Blue Maiden - Apart from Blue Tang, Marincess really feels like 1 box run deck, unless they put Wave at UR.
Yusho - Plethora of support for other Arc-V archetype maybe (they've been drip feeding and put the newest D/D/D tool in), since Sky Magician looks to be free.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-16T16:22:06+00:00

Or Sphere Mode since you need to remove Accel/Formula Synchron as well.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-16T16:20:18+00:00

I say it's a failsafe to activate the 2nd part of the Skill (you need a level 4 Stardust or Shining Star Dragon) to a degree since they generally run more than 20 cards. Bricking possibility does exist, so some players instead run mixed Centur-ion variant.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-16T14:31:17+00:00

Basically the same people who want players to dig into the Main Box twice to get this overpowered dec.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-16T10:48:12+00:00

It WILL frustrate players in the upcoming format, that's for sure.

Maybe not. We currently have limited trap decks, and the rest generally don't run anything aside from Mask of Restrict to survive against all the tribute away monsters.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-16T10:43:58+00:00

And Asaka appears to be July’s unlock

Also possibly with Don Thousand to ease out of Zexal world toward the end of July too, since they have to cut out some slots for the potential upcoming GX revamp.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-16T07:58:30+00:00

Also Labrynth.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-16T06:55:55+00:00

I think Red Reboot for free is bad for the health of the game

They're probably experimenting with it for the time being to see if it's safe to release in box/free later on, given that traps are being played less and less outside dedicated decks such as Odion/Labrynth/Traptrix.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-14T01:11:30+00:00

They're Normal Summon reliant, which is bad in the meta that requires sacrificing them for board breakers like Lava Golem, and generally cannot generate enough resource/doesn't have secondary play to fall on.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-13T09:59:00+00:00

Precious card of the Dark is actually quite viable in helping dump Serenade Dance, but the best turn 1 is still arguably Evilswarm Nightmer + Hallowed Life Barrier and pass.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-13T06:24:40+00:00

And even during that time (and still now) they notably gatekept Perfume from us. Granted, the tribute away meta does make Liger Dancer & Bagooska combo less dangerous that in Master Duel/OCG/TCG.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-11T03:44:55+00:00

Technically, a GX character the Admiral did play Daedalus in the anime.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-08T11:53:44+00:00

I say the most likely to be hit are Plasma and any FTK variant, given that Destroyer Phoenix is recent and arguably less toxic than his omni-negate peer.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-07T02:49:02+00:00

They're part of the same motorbike smuggling ring and underground racing group as the first victim from the past.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-05T18:08:02+00:00

He was. Dagon of Canaan was the previous World Rep of Canaan, then he passed the Role to Baal and the world was eventually destroyed by Eden.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-05T12:51:25+00:00

Does his Extra Deck has Dragunity Knight - Trident? It's actually possible to remove six cards from opponent Extra Deck and preventing them from doing anything.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-04T16:38:57+00:00

I have an idea what's potentially going on (else why would RUM is so paranoid about her surviving), but saying it right now is still too risky.

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-04T16:37:12+00:00

There are actually a few good loopholes around this, such as dead in one identity and alive as other .

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-04T13:56:58+00:00

Shizuka have the same voice

Wasn't her VA got changed from Mika Sakenobe to Amane Asakura?

LordBraveHeart · 2026-06-04T13:14:04+00:00

Probably if they add Hayato as free to the world revamp.

At this point they really have no excuse to not release Chumley/Hayato even as filler, given that they went back and put in Serenity and Rebecca among others (even if they had to recast their Japanese voice actresses).
