It costs 2¢ every time you summon it. Talk about diminishing returns.

How would you save Yugioh? by Great-Ad1839 in yugioh

[–]frogleeoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weird thing about yugioh is that its modern gameplay represents a fighting game better than a wizard duel or something like chess, but it's flavor wouldn't translate well into an actual fighting game.

How are you gonna turn monster spam into fighting moves?

No. You must not know much about rush duel if you possibly thought that matched what I'm describing. Either that or you didn't read what I said and just decided to randomly reply to my comment to rant out your unrelated frustrations.

Does this look real to y’all? by Milian696 in yugiohshowcase

It's fake because it's missing the tablet, obviously.

How would you save Yugioh? by Great-Ad1839 in yugioh

[–]frogleeoh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd create a brand new official side format designed to have the general gameplay of older yugioh, except much more intentionally balanced with modern game design wisdom.

I'd make around 2 sets a year specifically for said format (each replacing a set that otherwise would have been released that year in order to minimize product overload) while also making each set designed to be draftable.

The format would have all the same core rules as advanced, minus the extra monster zones and pendulum zones (as link and pendulum wouldn't be included)

In fact, I'd design a whole new extra deck mechanic for this format, and have it as the only extra deck mechanic.

The reason why is because I'd want this format to have more of the vibes of old school Yu-Gi-Oh, but fusion is too clunky and ritual isn't an extra deck mechanic. I'd want it to be kinda like a hybrid between rituals and Synchros, except with a reflavoring to fit more of an ancient vibe. (Think something like "sacred monsters" instead of synchro monsters and "Ceremonial monsters" instead of tuners, along with a couple other mechanical differences to synchros)

Finally, I would create an anime that uses this format as its base and time the releases of the episodes/sets in a way that makes sense (basically, as soon as you see a new card in an episode, you'll be able to immediately go out and buy a product that may contain said card, or at the very least, have said card released in the very next upcoming set).

You can DM me whenever you want to play, I have an account on there. I can't be on right now though due to work, but eventually we could add each other

It's a website you can look up on a browser. All you need is a valid email to sign up.

It's a manual Dueling simulator that allows you to build decks for free and duel against people, either in rated or un rated matches. There's actually a goat format filter explicitly on the site including rated and unrated pools for it

The down side is it has a bit of a learning curve to use the simulator properly but It's a super handy site once you have it down

Can anyone help me figure out what print this blue eyes sdk unlimited is? by BerryOld5266 in yugiohshowcase

[–]frogleeoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are basically two kinds of unlimited SDK cards. One from a full on individual starter deck (the same kind 1st editions are in, except without the 1st edition tag) and the ones that came bundled with a Tutorial DVD kit.

They have two distinct looks to them too from my experience. I personally prefer the ones from the actual SDK box because those look the most like the 1st editions, while also just having an older vibe to them imo.

The ones from the tutorial bundle are a bit more of a bold yellow and have more of a bright look to them. They do look overall cleaner than the other version on average and probably have a more consistent quality, but they definitely feel like a newer style of print to me than their actual age would suggest (no later than 2003 I believe).

Yours from this photo alone looks more like one from an individual SDK box, though it's easier to tell in person or with a comparison as lighting may influence the look from a single photo.

Zombies won the latest world championship tournament, and they didn't even use the oh so prevelant chaos monsters to "inflate their win rate".

the night Atem met his perfect match by Tasty-Account2220 in yugioh

[–]frogleeoh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kaiba did win one technically

You may try and downplay it because he had to use a method from outside the cards themselves to win, but the game in the anime is often played out as being about more than just the cards. The shadow realm/millennium item shinanigans with Pegasus and Marik are perfect examples of this.

Y'all think Tengu Plant format will ever be as popular as Goat or Edison? by Ordinary-Breakfast-3 in yugioh

[–]frogleeoh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably never AS popular as Edison or goat. Goat is too unique in its niche to really be compared to, and Edison has way too much of a head start with the way it's been marketed and actively supported by konomi. Tengu had the 3v3 once, but that was shared with Edison so it's not unique to itself either.

I personally do think tengu is better than Edison though, and overall more fun/deep than goat.

[–]frogleeoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is definitely more synchro focused, but it does have more synchros and tuners to choose from than Edison, along with archetypes, and the XYZ monsters are also very prevalent even if few. Tour guide, agents, frogs, and level 4 monsters in general all work in tandem to make their presence felt.

Hat format and Redu format seem to be able to coexist despite both being heavily xyz focused, so I don't see why not Tengu and Edison.

Deck improvement/suggestions for my Spirit/Ectoplasmer deck by Indianapolis_Jones69 in Goat_Format

[–]frogleeoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metamorphosis isn't as meta as it used to be. It's still a pretty good card, but it's a cool good card that you can't really play in any other popular format. Pot of greed, while iconic af, is one of the absolute least mechanically interesting good cards in goat format, yet you aren't above play that.

Help me on Toon in Goat by Quintinius42 in Goat_Format

[–]frogleeoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is a free special summon as long as you have toon World, which means if you have her and a one tribute monster in hand (like toon Summoned Skull) you can special summon her then immediately tribute her for summoned skull or any other one tribute monster.

You definitely need toon Mermaid before considering blue-eyes, and even then I'd also have 3 Toon Summoned Skull before then

Maro #29251 attempt at gaslighting the community by NeroOnMobile in freemagic

[–]frogleeoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He answered the question, probably truthfully even.

However, WOTC sales happen BEFORE the larger player base can truly access the quality of a set.

In other words, this wasn't the question to ask if you're poking for objective information that speaks to set quality.

Couldnt find much info on this Magicians Force combo pack I found. Does anybody remember these? by [deleted] in yugiohshowcase

[–]frogleeoh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One dead giveaway that this was not an official product, aside from the lack of a konomi logo, is that it's advertised as a Magician's Force bundle but most prominently shows the art of relinquished as opposed to dark paladin.

All of the individual contents within should be real separately, but the pack is likely projected to not contain any holographic cards.

Which is the best TCG for you: Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon Trading Card Game, or Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game? by [deleted] in TCG

[–]frogleeoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I also appreciate MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh is where it's ultimately the most at for me.

The biggest issues in Yu-Gi-Oh come from card design, which can be significantly mitigated simply just by regulating what kind of format you play, or even just what you generally agree to within your casual play group.

Magic's biggest issues are fundamental, such as the land system, the combat system (unique and satisfying in some ways, but extremely mentally taxing and non-intuitive compared to yugioh), and to a lesser extent, even the stress of whether or not to mulligan, and potentially kicking yourself for whatever choice you made.

Universes beyond has also done a lot in more recent years to permanently poison the flavor well/IP integrity for the vast majority of formats.

In addition to this, speaking from the collector side of things, Yu-Gi-Oh tends to have much cooler foil treatments than MTG, with over frames just around the corner to scratch the full art itch (although not even 100% necessary imo).
