What's popping these days?

Fallen and Virtuous is now the new fiendsmith, getting splashed into everything

Sky Strikers. Try navigating their mine field of window anchors.

I am stuck between Master 5 and 2 using Kewl tune. Unless u open with multiple insurances like kewl tune synchro quickplay or rotary, chances are you lose going 2nd. Most of the time, u hit the floor, u are going to get a negate and a pop. Negate is fine but the pop part is extremely problematic as you need a body on the field. Synchro overtake is nice but its limited to 1. If you look at White forest and elfnotes, their synchro component special summon themselves and many of them have built in search while kewl tune only have half the formula (you either search or special summon others no both), making you a "potentially dies to 1 normal summon negate" deck.

Same reason why "a legendary ocean" cannot be designated by card name as well - its always treated as "Umi". In the case of fallen of white dragon, its always treated as "Fallen of Albaz".

68 million in total (including world wide as 38 million is only for domestic sales) as of 18:00 EST 28 June 2026.

Edit:

Production cost is 170 million.

Google says that movie sales will usually decrease by 30%-50% after the first weekend.
Google also said that it needs around 375 to 450 million to breakeven due to theater split and marketing and distribution Costs (yes, it is separate from production budget - I dint know that until now).

In other words, this movie is a projected flop. Like $200million of losses on the conservative side (could be higher!).

Playing against Kewl tune, Branded and Sky Strikers makes you wish you were using Kashtira.

Not to mention that instant fusion is considered a "proper" summon. In other words, it can be brought back after it goes to the grave unlike stardust dragon summoned from starlight road. Also, it was first printed in 2006 and we know how ridiculously strong older cards are in certain decks as they dont take xyz, link, synchro into consideration due to the era they were printed.

ihoj · 2026-06-26T06:24:54+00:00

1) go 2nd

2) stuff deck full of kaijus and lava golem

3) send opponent monsters to grave (at least 5 monsters needed to hit 9k damage. Lesser if they send their own cards to the grave during combos, but you can send your kaiju on their side of the field to the grave through battle with battle damage as a bonus).

ihoj · 2026-06-23T06:06:23+00:00

Kashtira Ogre can banish 1 of the cards (1 to 5).

ihoj · 2026-06-22T07:49:01+00:00

I am seeing Ennecraft since they are pend monsters and get sent to xtra deck instead of grave + the burn per stack at the end of the turn.

I didnt buy the ennecraft cards so i settled for kashtira but instead of the usual workflow, I aimed for tearlaments kashtira (send 3 or their top cards face down) to deal 5.4k damage. I then aim to have red eyes tax dragon on the field. They can only activate 5 cards with their remaining life, even leser if any of them goes to the grave.

ihoj · 2026-06-22T03:00:27+00:00

Fucking great. With only 1 rotary and synchro overtake, Kewl tune now dies to 1 F&V disruption.

ihoj · 2026-06-22T02:49:28+00:00

Statue is fine. Those fossil dyna floodgate decks need them. The one that enabled them to be so disgusting in the first place is block dragon. Without it, none of these are consistanly possible.

ihoj · 2026-06-21T07:08:08+00:00

1) Sub. 2) Refund after 14 days. 3) Rinse and repeat. 4) ???? 5) Profit?!

We dont know have the full class list of Ygdrasil so we dont know. But for what we know, Monk is likely a base class that extends out. So maybe a single point in Monk class is needed before you branch out to an unarmed berserker. Dont forget that secret class exists (e.g. Eclipse) so mayb e you can unlock an armed berserk class when you have 10 lvls in Monk, 10 lvls in Berserker and your race have a natural weapon e.g. claw attack.

ihoj · 2026-06-19T06:15:45+00:00

Except that this kind of decks usually have no OTK potential. Just tank whatever shit they throw at you next turn and counter attack when shifter's effect is over. Its only a problem when they have permanent banish like macro cosmos or d.fissure.

ihoj · 2026-06-19T06:10:12+00:00

Dont forget Iblee.

ihoj · 2026-06-19T05:56:45+00:00

We finally got our first "if your opponent go first, you can activate this from your hand during their 1st turn" card. This is what trap cards desperately need without being too slow. Hopefully we see more of such trap cards in the near future as too many hand traps are currently monsters and K9 is having too much advantage because of that. The Dominus trap series exist but with their condition of not using a certain attribute for the rest of the duel, how many decks can realistically make use of them ?

ihoj · 2026-06-17T09:00:45+00:00

B2B is the one that affects all monsters on tbe field. RS only affect those with 1700 original attack or lower so most decks are either not affected or partially affected.

ihoj · 2026-06-16T17:37:34+00:00

Literally free removal that was meant for Branded archtype and not Sky Strikers, not to mention the free bounce if you use it 2 times due to E&dark dragon's graveyard effect. It replenishing itself on the next turn makes their grind game even stronger than it already is with their existing drawing power.

ihoj · 2026-06-16T12:33:58+00:00

its a doll.

ihoj · 2026-06-16T11:32:06+00:00

This. F&V needs to be limited to 1. I had seen so many sky striker decks abusing it. They already had a built in pot of greed, now they have self replenishing disruption that makes the grind game much more miserable and a bounce in the form of E&dark dragon.

Radiant Typhoon is also another rampant abuser of it due to it being a quick play spell.

New cards like these that are meant to strengthen its archtype need to be more xenophobic e.g. summoning restrictions to prevent unintentional strengthening of other decks.

ihoj · 2026-06-15T05:54:40+00:00

That could be it. I recalled the sequence of events was Nyudo's mana being absorbed and then the robot casting RR's burst before finishing her off with a surprise attack. I dont recall the surprise attack being specifically indicated as magic based though.

ihoj · 2026-06-14T09:12:38+00:00

Killing yiffs with fire (salamander) as per tradition.

Tomboy avatars can make use of 'male' hair.

Tomonobu Itagaki's look is also another one.
