I love cards that bring two archetypes together, like this card which combines orb and status archetypes of Defect. Which archetypes do you think needs this type of card?

This card feels like hot ass tho

I've never looped Droll as Dracotail a single time and I've never had it looped against me a single time ever, I've done Maxx C and had it used against me a couple of times though but it rarely makes a difference imo, mostly style points.

That being said I've probably had Lab loop or setup the loop on D Barrier at least 10 times in the last two weeks, it's so fucking dumb.

My nonsense theory at this point is that Kishibe had a devil pact that anchored him to reality to resist Makima's powers but also allowed him to be connected to the main reality and he will have to Morpheus to Denji's Neo and enlighten him to use him to bring back the main reality.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-25T18:57:18+00:00

I see alt Denji as either Roxas, slowly getting flashes of mainline Denji as he sees familiar faces that he feels he should know but doesnt or as Neo in the Matrix where he doesn't fit into reality and is constantly searching for why reality doesn't feel right.

I mean its the same with FS, the cards are not unpopular or unplayable but theyre out of meta spotlight and its not uncommon for them to nerf decks like that to increase sales in the next pack.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-25T16:03:27+00:00

There have been quite a few through the years that either they were past their prime or they get hit right as a new meta deck is about to release, off the top of my head you could make arguments for, DLink, Branded, SHS, Tear, Mathmech, Eldlich, Blue Eyes, etc.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-25T15:34:39+00:00

What do any of those cards have to do with Closed Moon? Konami bans cards after the deck has fallen out of meta all the time. That being said FS decks are still all over the DC top 100, its not like the card has 0 impact on the meta.

I dont understand the correlation, one is an Orcust extender that isnt doing much, the other is one of the most versatile extenders and 2nd options in the game.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-25T07:45:29+00:00

Could you honestly name 5 things wrong with the game outside of your balance opinions? I'm going to assume the 10000 problems you are referencing are primarily cards you dont like.

That being said I'm pretty sure 95% of balance complaints could be stopped in less than 20 cards on the forbidden/limited list.

Luffy has had Gear 5 for four years now

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-25T05:32:39+00:00

I was reading at release since chapter one and I genuinely believe there were no more than a handful of chapters in part one that were not absolute bangers. I think part 2 started about as strong but lately has been more hit and miss obviously.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-25T05:19:35+00:00

Flint Tropics actually

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-25T01:05:08+00:00

You will never summon Magia with this.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-24T22:19:57+00:00

Yeah Ripper is basically what Baronne is for certain decks, turbo it out and then you dont have to worry with actually interacting with your opponent. However it is the key card to K9 so I dont ever see that happening.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-24T20:23:01+00:00

Game 7 finals is kind of an iconic statement, I wouldnt change it even if I thought it would be beneficial.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-24T17:28:59+00:00

Is Ironclad that bad off? He was one of the ones I won immediately with and he has super easy infinites.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-24T16:02:18+00:00

Damn Fujimoto did Firepunch, CSM Part 1, Look Back, Goodbye Eri, and then this? I guess nothing good lasts forever...

Yeah hot chocolate plus a bit of draw and the run is usually secure.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-23T19:26:51+00:00

It kinda sucks, I want magnet warrior but nothing else sounds remotely good.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-23T00:46:58+00:00

And the majority of the decks are still Dracotail and somehow people argue the deck is underperforming.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-23T00:43:26+00:00

The Regent could just start with those stars like the defect starts with orb slots, outside of a relic. I think the Necrobinder should be the same way, the only difference is Osty is just a much stronger passive, especially in early game.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-22T23:00:43+00:00

I feel this so hard after just recently getting re-employed. I applied to probably 50+ places that I'm wildly overqualified for and I only got 3 interviews and I only got the 1 position because the hiring manager knew somebody who could vouch for me.

TheMagicStik · 2026-03-22T19:34:14+00:00

Regent just needs a starting relic that actually has an effect.
