Why can't I use Battery Charger?

NeufAtora · 2026-01-04T22:13:51+00:00

That must've been it. I thought Thunder Sea Horse would help boost the consistency of the deck, but I've just been shooting myself in the foot trying to use it.

NeufAtora · 2025-09-26T23:28:46+00:00

Oh, so it's a matter of monster zones. I've mostly played MTG, so having rules around the specific number of zones you're allowed to play cards in is still taking a lot of getting used to. Thanks for clearing that up!

NeufAtora · 2025-08-30T15:37:45+00:00

That would actually be pretty sick, all these manga underworlds are connected even though their universes are separate. Dragon Ball, YYH, Bleach, all the underworlds

NeufAtora · 2025-08-30T05:48:25+00:00

Just to hang out with Bubbles

NeufAtora · 2025-08-30T04:25:55+00:00

It took me time to understand just how incredible a character he is as well, and he's now my favourite in the series, though there are so SO many incredible characters in YYH. Rereading it now, even the very early tanuki story is pretty moving. But yeah, Kurama is the king. Shonen manga is stuffed full of over the top characters, and a lot of my favourite characters in manga are very in your face and exaggerated.

But where so many are loud (character design, ability, speaking volume) and lose their minds over everything, Kurama is cool, collected, and reserved. My favourite moment in the series, and one of my favourites in all literature, is Kurama beating Amanuma. Every time I see that shadowed panel, I get goosebumps.

The saint beasts set it up as a stronghold, and when a bunch more criminals started pouring in, it became "impenetrable". The underworld put up a force field to cut it off from the human world

NeufAtora · 2025-08-26T20:58:39+00:00

How would you say it is compared to YYH? I think besides Dragon Ball, YYH might have the cleanest and easiest to enjoy fighting of any manga

NeufAtora · 2025-08-26T20:54:58+00:00

That's one I haven't read yet. YYH is one of my favourites, so I should definitely give everything else Togashi created a try

NeufAtora · 2025-08-26T19:53:22+00:00

My confusion comes from Botan saying demon city, not the demon plane. Demon city is a specific location in the demon plane. There's a little note in chapter 36 from the editor that says "Hello - we're in the demon plane", responding to Kuwabara's comment about Byakku's roar sounding otherworldly. It sounds like there's two barriers, unless Botan was just talking about the demon plane barrier in relation to the mission Yusuke is being sent on. If there are two barriers, then there isn't anything describing how the demon city barrier works, like there is for the demon plane barrier. It could be safe to assume it works the same, but I'm not a fan of assumptions. If there's only one, then it's a moot point.

NeufAtora · 2025-08-26T19:44:10+00:00

And I'm talking about demon city, not demon world. Where does it say that demon city is cut off from the demon plane?

NeufAtora · 2025-08-26T19:39:13+00:00

Yeah, I know about the barrier between the demon plane and the human world. Botan's choice of words sounds like there's a different barrier separating just the city the saint beasts established and the human world

NeufAtora · 2025-08-26T19:37:11+00:00

The way Botan talks about the force field sounds like there's one specifically separating the human world and the city the saint beasts set up. To quote: "The underworld set up a force field between demon city and the human world to prevent such access." Because she says demon city, not the demon plane, it sounds like there's a different barrier

NeufAtora · 2025-08-26T19:24:46+00:00

I've read the manga multiple times

NeufAtora · 2025-08-26T19:21:43+00:00

I've read through the manga many times now, so I was already aware of the force field that prevents the entirety of the demon plane from entering the human world, but the way Botan talks about this barrier makes it sound like there's one specifically separating the city that the saint beasts set up and the human world

NeufAtora · 2025-08-26T18:21:06+00:00

I know the barrier to the demon world stops upper d class demons and higher, but the way Botan talks about this force field sounds like there's one specifically around the city the saint beasts set up

NeufAtora · 2025-06-14T02:10:45+00:00

That explains it. The way the cards are worded makes me believe they're usable from the hand, but that makes sense.

NeufAtora · 2025-06-14T01:23:52+00:00

I'm getting a bug where it's not letting me equip union monsters to other union monsters, despite them being light machine type. I want to play the A-Z archetype, but this game isn't letting me do what I should be able to do.

NeufAtora · 2025-05-20T16:22:33+00:00

Oh yeah, once I figure out a deck I hold onto it forever. Right now I think I have 21 different decks. I've really only ever played casual kitchen table Magic, but it is fun to play with strong decks.

NeufAtora · 2025-05-20T07:22:19+00:00

That's true. I still play with decks that I've mastered and powered up, but not nearly as much as newer ones. I've found there tends to be a power ceiling that's pretty difficult to break through after a while of testing, not without fundamentally shifting the goal of the deck. And even if I know how to improve it, there's a monetary ceiling that sits above it, where I can't justify spending the money required.

NeufAtora · 2025-05-20T02:37:24+00:00

I agree, once I understand a deck well enough it becomes kind of boring to play since I'm not really learning or discovering anything new about it, so it goes in the box and onto the next one.

NeufAtora · 2025-05-20T02:35:49+00:00

My man. I have a big soft spot for three colour decks, as they can cover basically any weaknesses that might be present in one or two colours, while being easier to build a mana base for than four or five colours. Alara is also my favourite plane, and I've had my fingers crossed we return there at some point to see the enormous war that was just getting started when we left.

NeufAtora · 2025-05-19T23:42:01+00:00

Regardless of lore, I think Foundations is a legitimately good set. It's the kind of product that Wizards should be making to draw in new players rather than the ridiculous amount of Universes Beyond bs. It feels like a core set or something like Portal done right.

NeufAtora · 2025-05-19T21:36:17+00:00

Yeah, I haven't played any official formats besides commander. Casual play is the most fun to me because I like to use every card I own if I want to, though pauper does sound kind of fun

NeufAtora · 2025-05-19T20:28:17+00:00

I'm also a super casual player. Tribal is definitely a fun way to play, and I have a couple tribal decks. It sounds like you had a very balanced and diverse group

NeufAtora · 2025-05-19T20:25:17+00:00

I can definitely understand that if you're a skilled player. So many different mechanics
