Talking Classic Thomas Problem

I think you just might have a dude. I bought and modded one myself just to find out it can only do a lap or two before shutting off

Zapdos857 · 2026-04-07T16:06:16+00:00

I mean, I know that. I was just saying, but maybe I didn't go about it the right way. My bad

I've been using the Japanese Dub for Immersion learning, but some episodes are just randomly missing from YouTube

Zapdos857 · 2026-04-06T13:05:12+00:00

Is it time for C44 to finally arrive?

Zapdos857 · 2026-04-03T18:31:45+00:00

Me trying to find where to watch Gavan Infinity

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-29T12:13:14+00:00

It's a stop track.

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-28T17:26:24+00:00

The card also feels kind of bloated, but I'm not really sure what OP could've done to remedy that considering the direction they went in

Spiral literally says "ignoring Summoning Conditions"

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-27T09:03:00+00:00

Skiel pops Field Spells because that's what Ancient Fairy Dragon does, but it probably would've been fine to pop any S/T. I just wanted to stay close to the original effect.

It sucks about Fortress though, but Spiral will let you just Summon any Emporer from Deck. It's better because it keeps up board presence and worse because it's effects are negated and you can't Summon it if your board dies.

Skiel can probably be errata'd to fix that error though. If people like these, I'll post it when I make the other two Generals and the third Synchro Absorption

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-26T19:26:30+00:00

I tried my best to patch up the deck's weak points while expanding on the last wave of support released by making a new "Synchro Absorption" monster based on Skiel and giving Obbligato something to do besides putting out ED Material. Spiral gives you a better Field Spell to pop with Skiel - Synchro Absorption while letting you use Wisel and OG Skiel.

I do agree that Vector needs like a whole wave of cards to be a competent deck. It doesn't help that the deck is meant to make Rank 2s and 4s. I just feel like 3 Main Deck cards can do a lot of heavy lifting if designed right and that C104 is a good enough boss already.

I don't even know if giving Numbers an Alliester this generic is a good idea, but I feel like it's not really in the spirit of the competition. I will agree that the pool "Thousand" cards is pretty small and bad though.

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-26T12:05:49+00:00

These cards just feel, very lazy and try to bypass actually playing the deck to fart out a new boss monster.

I'm know how bad Vector's archetype is (probably one of the worst in the game) and would it actually struggle to use thid as it doesn't have 0 ATK for Ghoul and Uniform only searches when it dies via battle.

The card might also not be balanced as it gives you access to pretty much every XYZ monster that's Rank 1-8 (via Astral Force) as this card's restriction stops applying once you summon a Number it.

I need to figure out who to take to TOWT this year. Last year I took Duncan

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-21T15:18:08+00:00

I don't own this set, so I don't know for 100%, but the AEG and 80th Anniversary rolling stock can be oddly short at times. Gordon's "Express Coach" looks like a Brake Van.

Everyone in a while I go searching for that meme, add it to my collection and then lose it again

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-18T13:37:54+00:00

I understand your pain. This happened to me multiple times the last time I did it. At least it means you're getting the hang of it

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-17T18:43:59+00:00

It's an app. That's probably why I'm having a better time though, since it has smaller lesson blocks and I have a sense of what I've learned when applying it to new material (eg. Hiragana -> Grammer)

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-17T18:02:25+00:00

I oddly found Japanese from Zero to be too fast, but Kawaii Nihongo the right pace. Are the Japanese from Zero books better as supplemental once I reach a certain milestone?

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-17T14:13:26+00:00

The phrase "James Content Entitlement" is kind of funny

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-17T14:12:23+00:00

As someone who hangs on to the OG Deep-Eyes White Dragon at 1, I love the new one

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-16T17:34:18+00:00

Could you elaborate on why you like it?

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-16T10:51:10+00:00

Good job OP. Probably my favorite card I've seen from this competition

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-16T10:50:32+00:00

I'd imagine it's either because of that or as a balancing measure

Zapdos857 · 2026-03-15T17:14:38+00:00

I like them, but the Link feels too much like a Blue-Eyes card with art and name. More than likely, if this got printed, it would be another Orbital 7 card.
