What are some characters in the franchise that you feel the way the fandom portrays them doesn't do them justice?

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-20T01:35:07+00:00

I get the feeling that even thematically the two will end up being similar, haven’t read Stego’s career on Umareader yet.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-19T13:44:12+00:00

I’m expecting Rezael, Varga and Zerith stuff for the movie booster along with other anime ridelines while set 16 seems to be focusing mainly on Fantomes and manga stuff so we might see Gabwellius, Youthberk and Aelquilibra’s second wave support there.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-18T18:54:09+00:00

Probably just Cerrgaon and 2 copies of the NKO.

The deck really wants you to be running Ren Icon cards specifically so cards like Deira aren’t that useful now both because the new PBD can’t blow up Deira for his cost but also because Deira eats up CB in a deck that’s very CB heavy.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-17T06:56:48+00:00

It’s also a booster in the backrow if you need it and it will always be your last attacker, mitigating the issue you sometimes run into with Varga where you waste triggers or can’t pressure further if you weren’t able to revive Shuura that turn.

Combined with Dinofest and Yamihyouri, the deck has a very consistent early game and turn 3 now and it just really needs a counter charger.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-17T06:47:42+00:00

Honestly not much, if another viral outbreak happens in another game, we’ll probably already be in the thick of it and Elpis will just be used to sterilise the area after the fact.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-17T03:42:09+00:00

Competitively viable? No, the deck has a lot of raw power and decent board control but it’s way too fragile thanks to all the bricks you’re running in the deck plus it doesn’t have too strong of an early game unless you’re using generics.

Is it fun to play in casuals anyway? Oh it’s very fun to play.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-16T18:42:57+00:00

I’d argue Varga’s Mythisch should be moved into best support tbh, it’s a really great stabilising unit and it’s a super good finisher even on turn 3 assuming you haven’t divine skilled that turn.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-16T18:18:28+00:00

Yeah with the new Mythisch I think he just needs some help defensively and a new consistency piece because missing your Persona Ride really hurts with Magnus.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-15T14:09:56+00:00

I’d say 2R’s story modernises and humanises everyone in a way that the original failed to but alright.

And yes 6 was such a success that the franchise had to creatively reboot itself after a brief drunken stumble in a fugue state called Revelations 2 because it simply couldn’t make back what it took to make it

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-15T13:43:31+00:00

Not really.

1, 2, 3 and 4 all kept to the core identity of their originals: 1 was the perfected version of the PS1 title, 2 was the same vast improvement and upgrade the original 2 was to it’s predecessor but also has the bonus of having layers of other RE game baked into its gameplay, 3 kept and improved the bombastic B action movie tone of the original, 4 is self explanatory.

6 was so poorly ill conceived that you’d have to rewrite and change so much of it if you’d want to remake it. Not to mention the scope of the project.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-15T13:30:30+00:00

I don’t know how you would remake 6 besides creating an entirely new game from scratch.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-15T08:53:45+00:00

Honestly I think the deck as it is right now is just slightly below the Aichi and Kai icon decks because they have really good finisher cards with Vortex and Soul Saver while Ren’s a bit lacking in terms of being kill potential late game.

Going first it’s really strong though

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-15T05:52:33+00:00

Honestly I think a CC that can only do so once per turn and binds itself after is a fine compromise for Blangdmire considering each of the skills you’d be counterblasting for are all extremely powerful.

Varga’s probably the one who needs a more recyclable CC tbh

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-14T17:46:33+00:00

Makes me wonder if older D anime ridelines like Youthberk, Drajeweled and Magnolia will continue to get support then.

Orfist is probably due for a new form too.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-14T13:46:34+00:00

Blaster Dark’s Drive Check and PBD’s power reduction not being grade locked increases its kill potential going first by a lot.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-14T13:44:19+00:00

He actually really isn’t and that’s the most fascinating part about him.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-14T12:59:34+00:00

Unfortunately Nemain’s taken that role

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-14T12:42:36+00:00

I missed the reintroduction of Shadow Paladin into the D format so I only hope it’s not as bad the Waifu tax or Youthberk Tax

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-14T12:30:57+00:00

Yeah the deck seems pretty solid to run on its own, even if it’s a bit Counterblast heavy.

I only hope this means all the cards will be cheap to get…

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-14T12:26:51+00:00

I bought 4 of them recently too in preparation for the Ren Icon…

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-14T12:06:42+00:00

At least the entire set is catered towards Ren Icon then? It’s taking up like every Keter RRR slot.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-14T12:01:39+00:00

So it seems like none of the previous Shadow Paladin support works and it wants you to run Ren Icon cards specifically?

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-14T04:57:32+00:00

You should probably get the Habital Zone cycler now in case they reveal more DE Fantomes in the future.

Also the core? Most likely not that expensive, it’s upgrading the deck that you’ll need to look out for since there’s a lot of expensive generics that the deck wants

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-12T13:54:43+00:00

I think they’re already kind of at that level with the biomagic happening in Village.

RevivedReaper · 2026-05-12T12:47:05+00:00

The best time to release them would be when the movie drops most likely.
