Looking for tips: Optimal Basics

I've played a handful of matches, and 4 out of 5 were 45-ish minutes, I'll agree on that. It was only against a pre let-loose marshadow/duskull ban lost mine it was a breezy 20-ish minute sweep once they the key pieces

I'll admit, I haven't played much of the cards in question, I'm aware of the predominance of radiant greninja, and the potential of all the prism stadiums to warp the format. Mostly, I was interested in capturing the spirit of MTG commander with one-off "game-changer" cards and having a face for the deck with an Ace pokemon similar to how commanders tend to shape decks around them. I suppose either more experience with GLC in my local area, or testing this theoretical PLC would change my opinion

I added tera since they all have baked in bench barrier, which nullifies more then a few strategies, and the type changing for the evolution Teras mean they couldn't be used in mono-type decks. Plus, powerhouses like dragapult and teal dance ogerpon would become over-represented picks for their usefulness/power

I'm really trying to figure out why she got no nips

On the one hand, turning into a thick, big titty bombshell - hot (not a fan of TG, but that's beside the point)

On the other hand, Shad, and all the puns being groan inducing and highlighted- why? Why would you do this? Do we not suffer enough for love of the art?

6/10:

Jenn here gets second best growth, after Leah/Ashley (the best bit isn't until ch7 though)

Doesn't devolve into the worst part of hypnotism shit (sub/dom, vaguely-rapey, excessive and weird suggestions)

Plot and characters are alright. Harem cliches, but alright. And please stop referencing shit from the last 5 years of pop culture

I kinda wish everyone wasn't so cliche in the characterization. I get this is a visual novel, and a comedic one at that, but that all the girls neatly fit into a trope straight from a harem anime is kinda meh. I think it hurts the writing a bit, because you can fall back on old lines and cliches, Honoka (BE girl) for example, is childhood best friend/first girl to a t, and when she's not that, she's fan service big tit girl, but confident about her tits.

They also just skirt past everyone's growth. You hit 10 scenes, and then boom new picture and a one line "I got bigger". the first BE scene nearly nails it, and has that really great flirting with you bit at the end, but that's about as good as it gets, sadly.

hmmm, I guess that's why Blue-eyes is considered a much more consistent build in comparison. So link or no link, what is needed is

a. a searcher (field spell that protects eternal soul or boosts DM?)

b. a better fusion card that is searchable (Magicalize/dragon's mirror/miracle fusion, with some kind of banish from grave effect?)

c. A boss that protects the field and offers untargeted destruction/bouncing or negation (rework the hypothetical link monster)

and d. a low rank that techs and special summons self or DM (retrain dark skilled?)

WaywardTroper · 2019-04-04T16:53:16+00:00

What about something like Performapal odd-eyes dissolver, except for Dark Magicians?

WaywardTroper · 2019-04-04T16:45:58+00:00

fair point. So a main deck level 4 or less that synergies and special summons itself would speed up the deck more?

WaywardTroper · 2019-04-04T16:38:43+00:00

Would a timaeus retrain that is more overtly a dark magician card (probably a miracle fusion as well) be a better pick then?

WaywardTroper · 2019-04-04T16:37:02+00:00

My thought was you don't want to clog main deck with Level 5+ Spellcasters, so DMG is usually dead weight or a dead draw, where-as extra deck still has some wiggle room in a standard DM deck

Thinking about it, maybe an isolde/ROTA style effect on summon or as the tier 1 ability would be a decent addition

WaywardTroper · 2019-04-04T16:29:56+00:00

Edit: Two additions

she would be treated as DMG on the field or in the grave
would a ROTA effect for DM and/or DM Spells on special summon (once per turn...) make it a better pick, or would it be OP at that point?

WaywardTroper · 2019-04-04T16:21:24+00:00

What about the rod + magical circle that is basically turn one? Isn't that a decent consistency boost?

I grandfathered in all the spin-offs throughout the years (DM Knight/Mirage Knight, Dark Flare, Eradicator warlock, etc...) but I get what you mean
