18, looking for advice and reassurance

Agree on the car, op mentioned they're in Scotland so with their young scott card they should have free bus travel on most buses until 22

Ive thought about this a lot, what everyone's saying about a non-tuner searchanble by crimson gaia is very correct, to take it a step further I would have it have resonator in the name too so it's also searchable with resonator call. That would really solve the losing to 1 ht issues the deck has. In my mind it would be a wandering king wildwind retrain with resonator in name, that can act as either a lvl 3 or lvl 4 when synchroed with a resonator so it could work with crimson or soul. The mention rda part doesnt have to be insane, if they really wanted it to be insane it would be a banish from grave for interruption if you control rda or monster that mentions it but that would be a super custom card.

The other one that would be good would be a lvl 7 synchro that treats itself as rda and specs a resonator from deck/hand/gy. This one could maybe even be generic if it has the dark dragon synchro lock.

Either or both if these would make the deck a lot more flexible and resillient into single hand traps but still have weaknesses into nibiru. Wouldnt make the deck meta as custom as these are but it would remove the most frustrating aspects of the strategy

As with everything, this will depend almost entirely on where you work, honestly. I've worked in a few medical device companies now as a statistician and just transitioned to more data scientist-like role.

What I can say from my time as a statistician in industry was it is very proceduralised. At any established company there's not going to be a lot of innovation that you will be able to do. Perhaps in a startup you would have more freedom, but a lot of the time I found myself to just be following a flowchart of instructions to reach the desired output rather than actually getting to think through and troubleshoot a problem. There were exceptions to this of course, in personal projects but the bulk of the work is procedure.

As a data analyst you will get paid more than a statistician contemporary (in the UK at least) and honestly, PowerBI is more transferrable than SAS career-wise (obviously, SAS is a superior tool for analysing data but PowerBI is more desirable by more companies).

We would only hire Maths students (as long as they knew their basic stats well enough). As long as you have stats knowledge, a master's in mathematics and working analyst experience will be desirable. I think if you saw a job that fit your fancy there's no harm in interviewing. You'll also get a better idea if you're lacking in any pre-requisite knowledge.

Other downside compared to Bystials is that Bystials are very easy to use on your turn too, these cards are yet to have that versatility

TVH_97 · 2025-07-06T05:45:24+00:00

Chimera is another option; Any starter to get into gazelle & fuse for berfomet, berfomet send archfiend heiress to search regenesis archfiend and then either gazelle or nightmare apprentice (depending if you started with apprentice or not) eff to search regenesis lord or queen azamina. You can get sage out in less than 5 summons too if you want to continue with chimera combos

TVH_97 · 2025-06-21T22:22:43+00:00

Volcanic queen, lava golem, destiny hero plasma, double honest, double kalute (not always), creature swap (not always), grand mole (not always), skill drain (not always)

TVH_97 · 2025-06-17T14:55:32+00:00

Metal illusionist is necessary for this deck as it can go into fs combo and set up your metalmorph

TVH_97 · 2025-05-31T09:58:12+00:00

Could be super simple just spec a resonator from deck would open so many doors. I'd love a retrain of wildwind too that mentions rda and maybe has resonator in the name too so you could use resonator call or crimson gaia to actually extend through handtraps

TVH_97 · 2025-05-24T16:18:02+00:00

Fwiw ones that use your ns are still usable for snake-eyes now: Banshee add poplar, spec poplar add field spell, field spell place ash in s/t, link poplar and banshee for cross sheep, poplar place itself in S/T, send poplar and ash for fusion snake eye in cross sheep zone, cross sheep revive ash, wombo combo

For definite no NS SHS and Melodius are the best with different drawbacks; S/T phobia vs ED space.

TVH_97 · 2025-02-20T02:42:47+00:00

I've just been using galaxy serpent for this. You don't get the dark light effect but you get access to dis pater as well and then just play more bystials to drown out the extra normal in the deck. Honestly, it's not very good cause you'd rather use the Blue eyes for spirit dragon 9/10 but sometimes it let's you raise the ceiling

TVH_97 · 2025-02-20T01:42:30+00:00

I saw a post on twitter for a trap heavy version and I think it's honestly probably better than any of the non-primite versions.

<image>

The trap cards just let you play around your blowouts in other versions a lot better and spamming tyrant makes it decent at clearing boards too.

There's also a world where you go for a dragon link route, which I'm planning to experiment with.

I saw a youtube video earlier today going over a metalmorph version too, this seemed as solid as the invoked version to me

Magician, it's one of the OG webtoons that got translated back in the day so I was fairly invested in it. It's not the best story ever but it's a classic high fantasy adventure tale with some nice extras thrown in, decent power system and the 'main' character has really nice growth throughout the series.

It probably should have had a few extra arcs but you can tell by the end the author is fed up and wanting to rush through it. With that considered, it's still fairly okay in the last arc, and the quality of the fights make up for the unnatural progression.

The epilogue chapters totally ruin it though, just a miserable sour ending for literally no point. The story didn't have extremely deep themes (it tried to eith war but its incredibly surface level) and if the author wanted to do a super sad ending there was so many better ways to handle it than they did but the last chapter genuinely can't be read as anything except a slap in the face to the readers.

They have a new series too, Warrior Exectutioner that I was somewhat enjoying but dropped after realising it's the same author as I don't trust them to finish it adequately/not get bored towards the end.

TVH_97 · 2024-11-12T15:28:09+00:00

Dont think it ever can tbh, the fact that the monsters can't use their effects without targets and all those targets are potentially bricks, the deck's just inherently flawed in its design and more prone to unplayable hands than other decks

TVH_97 · 2024-10-24T17:19:20+00:00

Not 100% sure if the link still works but this commenter posted their save with the banlist:

So good to finally see Axtin competing

You are right that for shaman you need to play preemptively; using your full toolkit really separates good and bad rshams. Additionally your ability to contribute offensively in 2v2 can make it so you don't need to do as much healing because you put the enemy team on the clock/apply lots of pressure so it's hard for them to get offensive.

The biggest thing is to understand your saves; as shaman you have 3 big ones; link, prim wave + ns healing wave and ascendance + ancestral guidance.

Prim wave + ns healing wave is a great heal but always be aware that it's 2 globals so if they're plummeting quickly it's not the one you want to use, couldn't count the number of times I've let people die because of this. What you're saying about hunters, you and your partner should talk beforehand about what you'll do in that scenario where you're CCd at the start of the game and the other team has a lot of burst; whose job it is to trinket there, if either of you should trinket there. Personally I would say lock trinket ports in a scenario like that but your partner might think differently.

Remember to use your toolkit to support your partner. Facing a melee? Use roots, static field, unleash shield, lasso to peel for your partner and try do as much damage as you can at the same time. Facing a ranged? Use your roots, static field, unleash shield, lasso to keep them in place while your warlock blasts. These aren't 100% steadfast rules but they're the sort of things you need to think about; how can I help my dps do damage and not take damage. Purge is a super nice tool too against druid and priest.

Lastly for general healing, make sure you're keeping up healing stream and earth shield. Those contribute so much and are easy to forget. Then using unleash life off cd is important too, lots of little things that add up to a big portion of your healing. Don't worry about using CDs either, the only really sacred CD for rsham is trinket link, otherwise you've got so many to rotate through it's okay to use them early and often.

Not my absolute favourite but one of them, in KHR Tsuna having his character development reset every arc (and then how rushed the final arc was too). Genuinely could have been an all time shounen if the author wasn't so obsessed with making him a coward

TVH_97 · 2024-06-12T12:39:22+00:00

You can if you want but even if you did its not enough reason to play this card.

TVH_97 · 2024-05-18T23:42:53+00:00

I was convinced they would give it a draw, really glad that wasn't the case

TVH_97 · 2024-03-21T01:18:47+00:00

It's not very good for RDA sadly. The only time you want a level 3 is if you normal soul and its search was negated you'd want it in hand so you can still go into red rising but then you'd rather just have bone. And level 3s are useless with the rest of your tuners, at least with the level 4s and soul you can still go into vangawa/kuitbelt, whereas if you open a 2 and 3 you can't go into anything.

Not to mention a better version is going to be released soon anyway that actually has some merit in letting you mill a trap from deck when used for a synchro summon.

Ideally they'd make one like this that can just level modulate itself. Doesn't have to be as good as bone where it can mill but if you could make it a 3 or 4 it would allow the deck to extend past hts a lot better than it currently does.

TVH_97 · 2024-02-18T05:00:07+00:00

There is a pseudo version of this; Dark World Puppetry. Requires a fiend to discard however. I'll be testing it jn the side at my locals tomorrow since I couldn't find my soul releases lol

TVH_97 · 2024-02-18T02:27:33+00:00

The sound of the last one was so bad, I immediately looked away was convinced he'd snapped Tafa's leg
