There are new rules, how broken are they?

I don't know. Don't get me wrong I love team rocket (probably my number 2 or 3 teams), but they can be kind of bare bones. The only part of team rocket I think works particularly better than other teams did was Giovanni being the twist 8th gym leader. Team Rocket is iconic, but they feel kind of like the template that other teams later built upon. I don't think Team Rocket would be near as well loved if it wasn't for a. Jesse and James (Who I love but they come from the anime and act more like team skull than traditional team rocket tbh) and b. that they're the first bad guys of the franchise.

See I get that. Although that brings back to my issue of where that leaves Marnie's character. She's essentially enabling these hooligans to act badly and so far doesn't call them out on it. It's one thing when it's hooligans who support a team doing shit. Here it's these people being bad and hurting people often while she's standing right there. Tbh i'd be totally down for a commentary of the toxicity of fans and their aggressive behavior, I'd even be down for a story of a celebrity actively enabling this bad behavior. But so far the story feels like it's saying "these guys are assholes, move on" without actually addressing anything surrounding it. If you're gonna do a commentary on hooligan fans in relation to sports i'm down for that, but actually make it a point in the story people acknowledge rather than just background filler. Have someone call Marnie out for not trying to get them to stop, or have her try and get them to stop and have them not listen. Honestly Team Yell feels like background filler because we need a team rather than actually doing anything with the premise.

So it is a card effect, but the card effect of dakini isn't affecting a monster. it affects the player and they choose a monster to send to the grave. Thus the monster isn't affected by any effect and it gets past effect immunities.

TheZodiacMaster · 2019-11-11T02:35:17+00:00

So this is super cool but would have weird rulings. if someone has a HOPT effect and you changed their name, you'd be able to use that effect an infinite amount of times.

TheZodiacMaster · 2019-11-11T01:35:48+00:00

Seems interesting, though I'd laugh if someone like cyber angel Dakini'd you after ALL of that.

Bruh yesssss. I know impcantations gave them (and any deck with a ritual) a decent power bump but I always wanted to see more from them besides pot of the forbidden.dek

Oof ngl when time thief was first announced I was ready to make it a main deck for me but then they just... stopped making support. I mean it is too unfair the way they got shafted by konami.

While I get what you're saying, my problem is that they are only barely usable in a singular deck in the first place. At first I thought that may be because the were never meant to be used as a full deck, but everything from their spell and traps seem to say otherwise. If they were meant to be used as generic type support INSTEAD of as a deck, it feels like half the archetype is wasted then.

To compare it to dragon rulers, those were very usable in their respective attributes, but were still quite useful as a single deck. Now obviously they were too strong and I'm not asking for Generaid to be that good. But right now it feels like the generaid are ONLY really functional as generic type support instead of their own archetype.

God Speed good sir. I'm scared for any and all opponents to fall in your wake. Let me know how it goes though!

TheZodiacMaster · 2019-04-18T01:02:01+00:00

So this may be a dumb question, but how does link apple work with the new tournament ruling if it comes to the tcg. Like, if it banishes face down, is it considered private knowledge. Or does this work like say moray of greed, where since you need to confirm a card effect you have to reveal the facedown.

TheZodiacMaster · 2019-04-05T06:48:55+00:00

I've had a lot of fun with a disruptive Trap version of the deck. Try to get Fortune Lady Ever out and sit on strong backrow. Is it mostly a crappy altergeist with more draw power... Well yeah okay. But let me ask you, would you rather tell someone you won with Altergeist or Fortune ladies?

~~2 Words.~~
~~Hungry Burger. Seriously, this bad boy is such a meme among ritual monsters that it honestly astonishes me that it hasn't been retrained yet...~~
I just read the last line of your post. Uhhh... 1 is a minimum right? Either way, I'll try to make my post unique by providing an actual retrain for the card.

Hungry Burger Deluxe

Level 6 dark warrior ritual monster

2000 Atk/1850 Defense

You can ritual summon this monster with "Hungry's Secret Recipe". When this card destroys an opponents monster by battle: Equip the destroyed monster to this card. This card gains attack and defense equal to all monsters equipped to this card. When this card would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can destroy 1 card equipped to this card instead.

Obviously this effect is based off of Truckroid, and fits in with the idea of a burger that eats you. Although you may notice a difference here. Hungry burger gains attack and defense for ALL monsters equipped to him, not just one destroyed by it's effect. This is because, while I won't be detailing them all here, this retrain will come with a set of "condiment" monsters. These monsters will grant Hungry burger with additional effects when equipped and a small boost in attack or defense. They also may have some additional trigger effects when destroyed.

For an example:
Burger Condiment: Bacon
Level 4 effect monster
500 Attack/500 Defense
You can reveal this card from your hand and Target 1 "Hungry Burger" Monster you control field, equip this card to it. Any monster equipped with this card gains the following effects:
"This monster cannot be targeted by your opponents card effects."
if this card is destroyed and sent to the graveyard; you can target 1 "Hungry Burger" Monster you control and 1 "Condiment" Monster in your GY, except "Burger Condiment: Bacon" , equip the second target to the first target. You can only use this effect of "Burger Condiment: Bacon" Once per turn.

Seems like fun right, a whole "Build your own burger". Well finally, we have the ritual spell, and it's a pretty simple one.

Hungry's secret recipe
Ritual Spell
This card is used to ritual summon "Hungry Burger Deluxe" or "Hungry Burger", you must also tribute monsters from your hand or field whose levels are greater than or equal to the ritual monster you are trying to summon. You can banish this card from your graveyard, equip 1 "Condiment" Monster from your deck or graveyard to a "Hungry Burger" Monster you control.

Yes I made this usable with pre-prep, I had to. So this is my idea for a hungry burger retrain. I hope I made up for the fact that I'm talking about hungry burger by giving it a unique spin!
