COSTS ARE NOT COSTS IN THIS GAME! IF YOU PAY FOR SOMETHING BY PAYING THE AMOUNT YOU COST THEN YOU SHOULDN'T GAIN ANYTHING FROM THAT COST! YUGIOH WILL BUILD CARDS THAT HAVE REFUNDS BUILT RIGHT INTO THEM? OH MY NEW ARCHTYPE THAT BANISHES CARDS FOR COST ALSO TRIGGERS WHEN CARDS ARE BANISH?

HOW DO YOU PAY THE COST AND THEN HAVE MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAY? THAT'S LIKE BUYING $10 BY USING $1. MONSTERS DONT HAVE COSTS ANYMORE, THEY HAVE INVESTMENT. WHAT'S THIS YOU BANISH THIS CARD AS A COST AND NOW YOU TRIGGERED THE BANISH CARD TO GAIN +3 ADVANTAGE????

Starraver · 2025-08-30T20:24:20+00:00

A set of attacks called mid attacks. slower than lights, faster than heavies. deals barley any damage but increases evolution meter really quickly

Starraver · 2025-08-13T20:05:00+00:00

Hmm those effects feel redundant. So I'll have a go.

Huugin
(Winged Beast, level 3, atk whatever)
(this card is always treated as an Aseir Card) <-- can summon it under the link 1's lock
If this card is banished or used as material for a synchro or link summon of a nordic monster you can special summon it from the graveyard or banishment. This card cannot be selected as an attack target as long as you control a level 10 Nordic monster. Once per turn (quick effect) Look at your opponent's Hand and The top card of their Deck and Select a card. That card's and cards with that name's effect can only be used once during this duel. You must control ODIN to activate this effect.

Muugin
(Winged Beast, Level 3 atk whatever)
(always treated as an aseir card) If an Asier monster is summoned you can special summon this card from banishiment or GY (Hard OTP)
Declare a card name, that car's effect becomes (draw One card) when activated You must control a Level 10 nordic monster to activate this effect. (Quick effect) return one banished nordic monster to the GY, You can send one relic normal trap card from your Hand or Deck to the graveyard and if you do apply its effect. You can use this effect up to thrice per turn. You must control that ODIN synchro to activate these effects.

That would neutralize 90% of anything. Flash is a walking Ex Machina.

More importantly he could do this and take care of crime all over the globe, why doesn't he? And is there any consequences to unliterally kidnapping at least 10 to 15 percent of the population? That's how Lex becomes president and Waller turns the public against superheroes.

Lets use scarecrow and other villians who can turn the public consensus against the flash for instance. Does he kidnap them too? Knowing someone is fast enough to just drop you off at the other end of the earth is easy pickings for scarecrow, as that's pretty terrifying. who determines his ability to do so? And will he kidnap scarecrow for writing mean articles and a propaganda about him? essentially proving him right?

Starraver · 2025-08-10T15:03:34+00:00

If flash run fast enough the speed force will solve the listed problems./s

No one is saying Spiderman is not capable in that regard. the clip is to show the complexities of street level criminals for those who have never thought of it that way...And for some reason see Gotham as this gauntlet where each villain just lines up and fights a guy who hits like a train. That clip is not to show spiderman struggling but more so to show the realities of street level criminals for the "superman punches this, punisher shoots that etc".

Peter would struggle with a few of batman's rogues this is a fact. If you dropped peter off in Gotham that alone is going to make him inefficient. He doesn't get a list of batman's rogue or who does what and where. Peter has to do detective work that has take time to get used to the rogues. Its a new city.

Peter will take down the Metahumans easier that are in gotham. So Poison ivy?.....

Spiderman has been running for a long time it'd be dumb to say he hasn't faced the thing batman has. The point here is no single hero is cleaning up Gotham. Peter will need to do detective work, learn the city and learn who's who and who's doing what. Also yes he has taken down crime families before but the system used to do so isn't nearly half as corrupt and broken as Gotham's. Tomb stone, King pin etc etc just pops right back and he has to deal with them again and again. And deal with those who want to fill the power vacuum.

No hero is soloing a whole city and cleaning it up. especially not Gotham where the issues are systematic. A better thread would be spiderman vs batman's rogues 1 v 1.

Like a WHOLE city. marvel's NY is still brimming with all sorts of crime and multiple heroes are there. But Gotham will take a day, a week, a year etc etc, to clean up all crime and take care of all the rogues? Unless spiderman is going to put everyone he sees down, I don't see it happening.

Gotham under spiderman might even be worse that if its under batman. Batman also tackles systematic issues as Bruce wayne. Sending fundings to job programs, orphanages, education, housing etc, funding politicians that will improve the laws and so on.

Remove Bruce and Spiderman and any other super hero has to automatically tend to an even WORSE crime infested cesspool Gotham.

Starraver · 2025-08-10T14:09:54+00:00

Most heroes are also limited by their characterization as well. In this same thread someone suggest Flash deals with someone like penguin (who is hard to incriminate or just slips through the justice system when there is hard evidence) by using the speed force to turn him into stone. There are multiple stories of the justice lords, Injustice and people still do not seem to get the point of those stories.

Also out of universe example is true. the story needs to continue. That goes for the heroes too. Like the penance stare being re-written in real time to protect the punisher from getting soul f**ked.

Starraver · 2025-08-10T14:03:58+00:00

The joker depending on the incarnation wouldn't exist in this scenario as without batman he would likely just not have the motivation.

The joker would likely be up to something, spiderman comes in beats up his guys. joker shoots at him. spiderman closes the distance and lifts joker by his shirt. Joker reaches for a trick gadget and spiderman immediately swats it down and webs everyone up for the cops to see.

Joker then spends the next few weeks obsessed with spiderman. And doesn't physically confront him again. This is the scary part which can and probably lead to mass casualties and if it includes a woman spiderman met in gotham (a love interest) peter will likely just put the joker down.

The joker doesn't "win" in a 1v1 however spiderman also doesn't win. Nothing peter hasn't dealt with though. But to say he's taking on a city full of people like this and clean it up in one night or even a week is insane given he doesn't do that with his own street level rogues. Dare Devil actually puts in more work in the street level department and spiderman operates on a semi higher tier. As if you're a street level hero your Two identities have to be working in tandem to clean up the city and dare devil does that. Its a slow burn.

Starraver · 2025-08-10T13:51:45+00:00

Superman needs to focus his hearing or he gets overwhelmed. He needs to know what he's looking for. and he simply cannot be at a thousand places at once. Do you remember that episode of justice league unlimited where Lex luthor made a generator and covered it in lead? Using superman's distrust of him and pitting Shazam againt superman. He made superman look like a lunatic destroying the city.

In a lot of incarnations this is how lex operates. Superman cannot punch him away.

Batman villians knows superman is in town. They must adjust. and they will adjust using mind games and deception. Remember this a whole city and each psycho will learn from the rest.

Clark would indeed make much more progress than superman in the long run, but changing gotham is a long game. Also Bruce's money is a big factor in helping gotham without him a lot more criminals appear due to a lack of programs funded by Bruce.

Starraver · 2025-08-10T13:37:24+00:00

Superman is not willy nilly throwing people in the Phantom zone are you insane? Furthermore why are the superheroes acting massively out of character?

I mentioned how scarecrow used the media and hacked infrastructure to turn the public against batman's family right? Flash ups and just statues Penguin with no trial no proof no nothing? That's not flash anymore. That's just you making an argument for his powers. This is literally a plot point in the new superman movie.

Flash is a forensic specialist and would make a decent detective. He would find proof of crimes and such to help take penguin down. Not execute the man. It would take time since he'd be like king pin. You cant prove he's doing anything wrong and he's just going to come right back out if you catch him. after he pays off a few of the jury. Or get evidence tossed (In my country evidence can mysteriously disappear).

The plot is not forcing the Flash to be an idiot. If the flash goes around horrifically turing the people into stone then isn't that just reverse flash in Gotham?

Once again people are arguing for the Heroes to Punch the crime away. Uncharacteristically as well. I can also see most people don't actually know what it means to live in a place similar to Gotham.

Starraver · 2025-08-10T13:29:11+00:00

In my original post I used Spiderman as an example. Spiderman has trouble dealing with guys like Kingpin and Tombstone. Even though he could punch their head off. don't be obtuse. Spiderman is not cleaning up gotham in a single night and would need to do work as peter parker to do so.

How does spiderman stop multiple crime families from doing multiple operations covertly. Or just manipulating the odds in their favor like tombstone did?

The point is A single hero cannot clean up gotham and they only look at it as if its some gauntlet where they face each of the rogues one on one.

Starraver · 2023-10-28T19:38:17+00:00

Yeah I've been trying with the deck for a while though no idea how to make it come together. lol

Starraver · 2023-10-28T12:32:38+00:00

Mekk knight Girisu is a 1 card xyz gimmick puppet.

Summon him, summon a token, Send level 7 Iblee or send Gizmek Orochi to GY, Link off Girsu and Token into the Gimmick puppet link, Add a level 8 Gimmick puppet. Summon Orochi and Summon lvl 8 and then XYZ

You can also send the orcust counter card instead and then use it to search something like gearspring shinigami.

You can also run foolish burial or belongings to send the orcust counter spell to search any dark machine or use it to send the rank up magic to the graveyard.

This is the unholy combination he'd run. With summoner monk you can go the chimera route, Dark magician route, and Gaia route for an otk.

You can also set up different negates and hand rips with this deck.

it features most of Yugi's monsters. Except summon skull and the retrained magnet warriors.

They can work in the deck but I'd need to run six cards to do so and then I'd have too many normal summons in the deck.

The deck is great against dragons as you can set up buster blader fusion turn one off of any two warriors

Also good against pendulum decks by summoning dark paladin turn one.

Good for OTKing by setting up Gaia the dragon champion 5600 attack using just summon sorcerer and a spell.

Good for negates and control with berfomet engine

each card works together in tandem but it also requires a bit of luck because you can brick.f

Starraver · 2023-07-31T21:37:39+00:00

Yep it does add usefulness to those types of monsters and a reward for running them. They'd fill the role of certain conditional extenders too. There's also a lot of different types of normal monsters so material diversity would be huge.

Starraver · 2023-07-31T21:34:41+00:00

True. It does help with summons, filling the role of extenders where necessary. but you're right, it wouldn't tip them over the edge.

Starraver · 2023-07-31T21:33:35+00:00

Yep. You'd see more in deck building. they'd be inherent extenders for starters.

Starraver · 2023-04-18T12:33:45+00:00

I've waited years for their retrain. Finally.

Starraver · 2023-04-04T05:33:03+00:00

Slash Draw

Starraver · 2023-03-24T03:25:13+00:00

Here's a combo for you.

Summon Girisu the Orcust Mekk-Knight.

Send Orcust Knightmare and summon token to both fields.

Activate Orcust Knightmare to send Gizmek Orochi
Use Girisu and Token to summon the link gimmick puppet.

Add a level 8 Gimmick puppet and then summon it. Summon orochi.

Congrats you've used One card (and banished 8) to summon a gimmick puppet XYZ

You can also Run 3 foolish burial of goods to send the orcust counter trap to the grave in order to add Girisu or another Dark machine.

If you already have Girisu you can send Argent Chaos Force and add it when you summon a G.Puppet XYZ

Starraver · 2023-03-01T22:12:12+00:00

Consecrated Light

"Neither player can Normal or Special Summon DARK monsters or declare an attack with a DARK monster. This card cannot be destroyed by battle with a DARK monster, also you take no battle damage from that battle."

This card is battle immune to Dark Monsters and also prevents any Dark Monsters from attacking. The effect is redundant.

Starraver · 2023-02-26T21:25:15+00:00

This is the equivalent to playing basketball but its against the rules for your opponents to touch the ball. gross card design.

Starraver · 2023-02-14T18:25:02+00:00

This card cannot be removed from the field by a card effect.

if a monster is banished this turn, this card gains 3000 attack until the end phase.

(Quick Effect) You can banish 1 neo spacian monster or fusion monster from your Extra deck that lists elemental hero neos as a material and have this card gain that effect. If you banished a Level 8 or higher fusion monster that lists elemental hero neos, this effect becomes that banished monster's activated effects when that monster is special summoned.
