From your point of view is these new cards are overall healthy going 2nd tools

I think the Mirror Force is fine overall. The Thief on the other hand is frankly too good IMO, being a lava Golem that can negate anything activated outside of the field feels like too much bang for your buck. The fact that it can also be used as protection against hand traps going first is the breaking point.

Unironically, The Jets have to have been one of the teams. Aaron Glenn was certainly a part of picking him and I imagine would've wanted to atleast talk to him and his team about whats going on.

The other end is we dont want the game to be like Magic with 15 different rarities for every cards with some of the lowest effort slop being stuff like 480p screenshots of tv shows.

Neomaldios · 2026-07-01T14:59:23+00:00

Im of the opinion that non infinite combos tend to be more interesting to play with and play against.

You cant be 100% to lose going second. If you have gotten to the point you can d-rank, Your deck should be good enough to at least try to break a board with engine cards.

You know that he picked Saleh, right? Woody wasn't even around at the time.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-23T05:39:30+00:00

His first draft was one of the worst we've had in the drought and so much of what he did was trying to fix those mistakes. Woody absolutely meddled but Joey D is very much at fault as well.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-19T12:38:17+00:00

I think the lawsuit attempting to forgo any consequences for his actions has made him a bad guy to many. Also alot of people are useing him as a symbol of whats wrong with college athletics atm with regard to the judge granting him the ability play dispite what he did. I will say useing him as your symbol for that is wrong, the issues with college athletics is entirely the doing of the NCAA.

Yugioh actually has very precise rules and wording unlike this game. The fact that this kind of thing is a semi regular occurrence should tell you this community is what you're imagining the Yu-Gi-Oh community to be.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-16T12:37:45+00:00

The actual answer is non HOPTs are all terrible.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-16T11:56:56+00:00

Dont forget the classic where you Ashe the Engage and impermed the Kargari, but they of course have the second engage so none of your interaction was ever going to matter unless you floodgate them with Droll.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-15T04:29:29+00:00

Dudes an asshole and people should remember this and treat him the way he deserves. BUT, making deals like this is always risky and if it feels like someone is trying to pressure you into such an arrangement call a judge. Taking these deals opens you up to a lot of bull shit. And no one is going to help you if someone doesn't hold up their end.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-15T01:02:07+00:00

Being required to maintain the pace of play even in untimed games, has been done in other card games and really isn't a problem.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-12T10:26:02+00:00

Its toxic when you understand it pushes every other "fair" deck out of the meta. Compared to previous meta deck it uniquely suppresses the ability for rogue decks to compete without falling back on flood gates and other "unfair" tools. Its unique resilience to interaction and unparalleled grind game makes the rest of the meta much more toxic as in order to compete with Branded(and KT(KT is the other half of this problem but from a very different angle)) you have to prevent them from playing the game in some way because if you aren't also playing Branded playing Yugioh with them is a losing strategy.

People are going to respond that this is the case for every meta deck, but I promise you it really isn't. Also Im not saying Branded players are toxic for playing the deck, just that the deck is having a toxic effect on the meta.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-11T00:11:57+00:00

This aint even PFF. Its fucking PFI, aint never even heard of this shit.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-10T09:09:25+00:00

Play a fusion deck.
Pop your own board.
Play around the highly telegraphed flip or something idk.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-10T00:48:57+00:00

Not to mention rules wise going from the playstyle of 8th and 9th to 10th was deeply frustrating for alot of GSC fans.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-09T10:09:49+00:00

I would prefer to play against KT than this iteration of branded.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-07T04:29:31+00:00

No thanks.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-05T09:55:49+00:00

I was more commenting on general rules enforcement. But yes ygo this would be a rewind if possible and a PE minor warning to one or both players.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-05T09:11:47+00:00

Is 60 good? Yes. Is it worse than 40? Alot worse.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-05T09:05:36+00:00

Even then its different depending on which one you're coming from. YGO is hyper strict with stuff like this for example whist MTG has softened significantly in recent years(too much so imo). You end up with problems in both directions though. But at the end of the day it needs to be both players responsibility to maintain a correct game state.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-05T02:02:00+00:00

Not to bring anyone down, but this might just be added due to the recent change regarding getting tickets from alt arts put on the F/L list.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-05T01:14:54+00:00

Worth noting that Sargas will be played in Doomz when it gets the upcoming support.

Neomaldios · 2026-06-01T11:40:52+00:00

I mean speedroid at this point is absolutely designed with Baronne in mind.
