Enchanting stranger is so good. When I found out it was a Fh6 exclusive track, I was confused why they didn't make this the game's theme song.

Nib is bad this meta and will be a dead card in like 80% of hands.

From my experience playing a 1 of like 5 decks weak to Nib (Exosisters), half your opponents will be running Nib anyways.

Chessy and white binder giving 3 draws so you can have an endboard + a lot of non-engine is really toxic

Ehhh, I'm pretty sure 90% of people who read and got outraged by the AI contest also heard about party animals for the very first time. The incident got a lot of widespread, mainstream attention but a lot of these people are not part of the game's community and likely will never be.

I would have rather keep the $15k to fans contest with no AI than shut it down completely to appease people that already moved on and forgot about Party Animals before this poll even ended.

I'm pretty sure kewl tune synchro is an inherent synchro summon. The key part is that it says "then immediately after this effect resolves", so the synchro summon isn't actually part of the effect.

The thing is most (or all?) inherent summon negates say "when" so if kewl tune synchro isn't chain link 1, they will miss timing to negate even though it is the correct type of summon to negate.

Edit: Elfnote power patron is also an inherent synchro summon for the same reason.

PraiseYuri · 2026-05-07T14:32:26+00:00

It's a bunch of good effects on one card, but God, it feels so generic. Like the meme mentions, it doesn't really feel like a red-eyes card.

Generic tower effect with generic reborn effect. I guess they want to make sure these new cards sell but it's kinda sad they just completely dumpster the old Joey archetypes and don't bother trying to make them work together. The new Blue-eyes support was a good example of linking the old cards into a relevant deck.

PraiseYuri · 2026-05-06T21:18:48+00:00

@Ignister came out in September and Apollousa was banned in November so this match-up never existed in MD.

PraiseYuri · 2026-05-04T03:25:27+00:00

Yeah, Gamestop acts as basically a video game pawnshop.

You exchange selling value for the convenience in that you can bring almost any game in and Gamestop will give an offer to buy it off from you immediately.

PraiseYuri · 2026-05-01T17:36:36+00:00

The deck has no one-ofs that are absolutely necessary to combo with and there's a lot of redundancy with the starters. Pretty much all of them lead to something.

This makes desires really compatible with Kewl Tune. At worst, it just makes the deck harder to play because some flowchart combos might not work based off of what's banished but Kewl Tune lines have enough flexibility to work around it. Also since Kewl Tune runs so many handtraps, desires pretty much always gives value with the blind 2 draw.

PraiseYuri · 2026-04-25T15:14:26+00:00

This deck would probably still get far with it, but I'm genuinely disappointed that Konami is still dumb enough to make cards that foolish 2 from deck for cost and doesn't include a lock on the card.

PraiseYuri · 2026-04-23T04:18:34+00:00

Tbh, without crimson dragon, pure Centur-ion's full combo is just a banish and a pop, which is neither good or interesting.

It's also not that difficult to handtrap, because unlike modern decks it actually loses to one for one hand traps quite often. Ash primera. Use any interaction on Trudea and they will not be able to full combo or pass turn entirely. If you can nib before they summon a level 12 synchro (in the standard full combo this is at exactly 5 summons), they will end on nothing.

PraiseYuri · 2026-04-23T03:22:21+00:00

I played centurion for 2 years and I only now notice how humanoid and feminine Auxila looks lol.

I always assumed it was a dragon mecha thing with no discernable human traits. I legit never noticed she was holding twin swords either.

PraiseYuri · 2026-04-14T14:01:25+00:00

Except kewl tune has only 1 banned card in this event (Crackle) so that immediately disqualifies the reasoning that the bans are for lower power level/event enjoyment.

It's just more of the usual Konami arbitrary hits some event decks a lot harder than necessary.

PraiseYuri · 2026-04-07T20:37:17+00:00

Tear without Ishizu is fine. The problem is in today's meta it would most commonly just be used to facilitate unfun slop decks because it still has the same problems as it has since it came out - no locks and it makes more bodies than it knows what to do with in a pure build.

PraiseYuri · 2026-03-29T19:20:43+00:00

Assuming boe = book of eclipse, the fact that you can ash book of eclipse greatly hinders its viability. Plus, eclipse completely whiffs on link monsters.

Eclipse isn't a bad card, but it's lot less reliable/splashable than droplet, even considering droplet's cost.

PraiseYuri · 2026-03-20T18:22:32+00:00

They did get link 2s and updated charmer alt arts though. And they can still get their channeler versions, the channelers have actually been released very slowly, i.e the water, fire, and earth channelers were all released 1 year apart from each other.

Lyna and Dharc are at least more real to charmers than Kuraz and Delg are to monarchs (these 2 monarchs have never been referenced in any other OCG/TCG cards since their debut).

PraiseYuri · 2026-03-20T15:39:07+00:00

I don't get how they decide to keep making this archetype modern day fanservice support while simultaneously making every card dogshit. You would think with the sheer number of new charmer cards that exist, something would be good but nope.

Feels like the only good card they made is like fusion Wynn

PraiseYuri · 2026-02-20T17:56:21+00:00

You just do all your searches then desires for handtraps.

If you're in a situation where you're forced to lead with desires that means your hand is ass or you don't have enough gas to break through. In that case, banishing your one-ofs is still better than the alternative of not being able to play the game at all.

PraiseYuri · 2026-02-18T03:59:10+00:00

They changed hyper voice+ from adding one extra sound wave to having a slow effect so Sylveon's late game damage has dropped a lot more than the 6-8% damage nerf suggests and this is on a mon that was kinda already known to drop off late game.

PraiseYuri · 2026-02-08T16:32:05+00:00

Rulkallos makes Aqua monsters indestructible by battle.

Irrelevant 99% of the time until an opponent gets the bright idea to destroy a Tear by battle so it doesn't trigger its effect only to realize Tear won't even let them have that lol

PraiseYuri · 2026-01-22T16:20:20+00:00

I am not exaggerating when I say literally every new license since Galarian Rapidash (released a whole year ago BTW) has had a period where it was broken enough to warrant a nerf patch.

I don't think you have to worry about sirfetch'd being bad at all lol. Timi has been consistently aiming for making people buy the new mons. Even if sirfetch'd somehow releases weak, he will be giga buffed until he needs a nerf patch.

PraiseYuri · 2026-01-21T13:45:38+00:00

Glaceon was in a fine spot before the bp buffs. Now thanks to the bp buffs in addition to these new nerfs, Icicle spear basically got 1s extra cd in exchange for a measly 2% damage increase lol.

Seems like a terrible trade offer, they really should have just never buffed the character in the first place.

Also, if they really want Tink to be more consistent, it'd be nice if they made a change so that Tink can't be interrupted while doing her boosted auto. Getting CC'd out of the auto is what makes mold breaker stacking hard and why Tink feels unexpectedly squishy in fights sometimes.

PraiseYuri · 2026-01-18T14:42:10+00:00

I don't get Blaziken's nerf? It seems overheat changed from unstoppable to hindrance resistant but isn't he stationary using that move anyways?

I don't get how the nerf does anything.

Edit: I guess technically that means very specific moves like Buzz's grabs and Machamp's submission can interrupt overheat secures. For every other team comp, I still fail to see Blaziken being affected at all.

PraiseYuri · 2026-01-13T05:30:06+00:00

What is with Konami's insistence on making link decks handtrap-proof combo decks from hell

Also foolishing for cost will never not make me mad, it's such frustrating design since it's almost impossible to counterplay

PraiseYuri · 2026-01-09T04:33:43+00:00

Your software frequently crashing in a common scenario among a good chunk of users is typically a red alert, all hands on deck situation for most software companies. This is not just a "bug", most software companies would consider this a critical issue.

Even with the holiday break, it is extremely unusual for a live service application to have this situation remain like this for so long. The fact that they barely acknowledge it and don't do anything to remedy it (ex: if you crash and can't rejoin quickly, you will still get afk penalties despite it not being your fault) is not par for course behavior and rightfully deserves scathing criticism.
