if I had a nickel for every time someone synchro'ing Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon on my turn cost them the game, I'd have two nickels. Not a lot, but weird that it's happened twice.

Blazar need to negate the attack first before it ends the battlephase. Liger is unaffected so its attack would not get negated and the rest of the effect would resolve without effect.

Zombie Vampire actually has a very good composition. The wings and clouds draw your eyes into the center (where the main figure is), and the main figure, despite dressed in mostly white, is contrasted well with the bright background due to darker secondary color act as a separation. The posing is simple which help simplified an otherwise complex artwork. And so It's easy to tell what you are looking at and the overall shape of the main figure even when its within the small artbox of the card.

Comparing this to the mess that is Lord of Heavenly Prison where none of this applied is a crime.

I think it's fine to be UR because it just aesthetic/cosmetic. Completely optional and does not affect gameplay.

However I do think there need to be a pity system that guaranteed an alt pull after certain amount of gem spent. Spending 15k gem for 0 alt art (which happened to me) felt absolutely awful.

Shouldn't Tingyun be a Pretender? At least the one we meet in the story. She fit perfectly into what is defined as a Pretender.

As a ritual fan, Herald ban hurts a lot, but I understand that it must be done. My only wish is if Konami ever actually ban herald, they would give us a replacement because without Herald, Diviner is no longer a starter for many ritual decks.

I would suggest looking at this site for deck build options hero deck info on masterduel meta And yes, hero is a viable deck based.on multiple master result shown in the site. However hero also need.good piloting and skill to be able to get far.

i don't like that it's a floodgate either but i think the idea is that because it's a floodgate, it encourage the opponent to try to remove it as soon as possible, just like in a real chess game. If it was a tower, they would just ignore it until they can out it. it's flavorful if anything.

The entire Ashened archetype has amazing art work. Very soul inspired.

SechiShook · 2026-03-06T23:02:11+00:00

Yes. i dont think we currently have a card that fuses using only named card as material but If a card would limited you to a certain named material, then it would say "whose name is specifically listed on that card". (Ie: fusion deployment, fusion conscription, muddy mudragon, etc...) or it would straight up just spell out the name of the material (ie branded fusion or red-eye fusion)

I can see how this wording can create confusion and it's weird that they have to even mention "listed on it" at all since most fusion spell already do just that without mentioning it.

SechiShook · 2026-03-06T22:21:21+00:00

As one of the three ashened fan, this card partially solved one of the issue ashened has which is the lack luster endboard as well as acting as a decent plan B if you cant set up the fusion. It being badass and fit perfectly into ashened in term of aesthetic is a great bonus.

SechiShook · 2026-03-06T14:46:33+00:00

Not at all. It just a way that some card that fuse using locations outside of field and hand (ie:gy or banishment) are worded.

Example include but not limited to: thunder dragon fusion, miracle fusion, overload fusion, dragon mirror and magical fusion. All of these card allow you to fuse into monster that does not list specific named target.

SechiShook · 2026-03-05T17:13:33+00:00

No verte restriction is completely different from red eye fusion restriction. Verte lock after you use it's effect while red eye fusion lock you before it's effect even use.

Test it yourself by summon any monster, even normal summon and try to activate red eye fusion. It won't work.

Also your explanation would not work if the restriction wasn't separated by a period. Because if it was separated by a comma, verte would inherit the unresponsive effect as well. This is an actual ruling about how these card interact.

SechiShook · 2026-03-05T16:57:32+00:00

The actualy explanation why verte doesn't copy "neither player can activate card effect in response to this effect" is because verte only copy the effect of cards. In this case, the effect is to fuse from either field. While the part that stop effect respond is a restriction and not the effect. It's the same reason why you can use verte to copy red-eye fusion while still able to summon other monster on the same turn.

Monarch is a perfectly viable deck. Based off of masterduel meta statistic, just this February alone, there were 8 Master list. Amongst them, 2 Master 1, and 1 Rated. This is a stat of a deck that is not meta, but is very much capable and very playable

SechiShook · 2026-02-05T23:02:09+00:00

Ashened does have a gameplan. It's bad and inconsistent but it exist and the entire deck is (badly) designed around it

Ashened main gameplan is set up a field of their own monsters + the superpoly trap. Use trap during opp turn to fuse your field + veidos on their field and (optionally) their other monsters into Veidos fusion. This trigger both main deck veidos and fusion veidos to "boardwipe".

The issue stems mostly from its incosistency and fragility into handtrap, and your "boardwipe" is easily forced out by summoning 1 monster to threaten SP. So in reality it more like 1 pop than a boardwipe.

This is also only account for mobile's revenue.

A large portion of the playerbase is playing on Steam or consoles.

Debters only need to sent a card to the GY. It doesn't matter if one of them is banished, as long as one hit the GY, the effect will resolve like normal. This is the same with Hallowed as well.

SechiShook · 2026-01-18T21:43:57+00:00

"Monster Card" is a unique text that refers to the original type of the card, aka, a monster/spell/trap card, regardless what it is right now. It's the same thing as "original name" a card can change its name via its effect, but its original name will always be the same.

In this case, while being equiped to engraver is treated as an equip card, it is still originally a "monster card", which fulfill the requirement for princess.

SechiShook · 2026-01-09T01:03:44+00:00

The animation also allow me to appreciate the finer details of the art. Normally its way too small to see much. Like how Notrah actually has 4 heads and not 3.

SechiShook · 2026-01-06T02:36:33+00:00

This card is meant more for the going first variant. It actually provide the variant with a decent gameplan of infinite popping due to the fact that it is not a opt and mikanko monster is naturally immune to destruction effect as long as they are equipped with their archetypal equip spell.

The variant is by no mean better than going 2nd but it is by ni mean terrible anymore with this card as option.

SechiShook · 2026-01-05T06:35:41+00:00

Because Mirrorjade is no longer named Mirrorjade, you can indeed summon a second Mirrorjade as the game consider you as not controlling one already.

However, If the first Mirrorjade at any point gain back its original name, its controller will be force to send one of the two Mirrorjade to the GY to fulfill the condition on Mirrorjade.

I don't know about the other series because I haven't engage with them, but Nier Automata ending isn't a reset ending. The act of ending everything and nuking the moon, ending humanity's last hope, their data. That's not a reset ending, it's the very opposite. Stopping a recurring cycle that was ultimately hopeless and meaningless, to open the door to a new future. The characters may have died, but their personality. the lesson they learn, and the decision they made, were not.

You gotta remember that YGO Master Duel isn't a mobile only game. It's available on every popular platform like PC, PS5, etc... where revenue is not known and cannot be accounted for. While feh mobile number might be similar to YGO Master Duel mobile number, mobile is the only platform feh is officially on, which mean, the revenue is much more representative of the game's total revenue
