man. I am so happy that fucking Substitoad is banned...my god, with fucking three Trishula running around I'd rage quit everytime I saw a Frog deck and I didn't open with Veiler.

I SEE WHY THIS BITCH FROZE THE DT WORLD NOW

**Marcicus** · 2011-04-25 19:05

and of course as soon as I say that Konami releases a mini-Substitoad in EXVC.

**Hiryo** · 2011-04-29 16:54

So all the TCG exclusives for EXVC have been revealed. There is no TG world premiere card which is a huge surprise. In general, I'd have to say that it is a little lackluster besides the couple of great ones, but I guess that is how every set it?

Vampire Dragon - 2400 6-star Dark/Zombie. When this Tribute Summoned card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can add 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your Deck to your hand. A way to get people to tribute for more than Monarchs(and Jinzo now!). But the problem with this is pretty much the reason why people dont run Il Bud in Zombies, that running synchro fodder is more efficient and consistent. I doubt it will get much play, especially since it is SECRET RARE.

Dodger Dragon - 1900 4-star Wind/Dragon. The Normal Summon of this card cannot be negated. Your opponent cannot activate Counter Trap Cards the turn this card is Normal Summoned. Ehhh. This is what I mean by lackluster. The game does need more 1900 4-stars with effects sure, and the effect isn't BAD, it just isn't awesome. If it shut down traps entirely on that turn, it would be Darksoul good. I feel like Konami is really afraid to make broken cards.

Mara of the Nordic Alfar - Level 2 Tuner Dark/Spellcaster If this card is used as a Synchro Material Monster, the other Synchro Material Monsters are 2 "Nordic" monsters in your hand. Noone has come up with a good Loki build yet, but this is an important piece of it. It is better than Valkyrie because the synchro summon is not an effect that can be negated and you can do it with a full field. However, it is worse than Valkyrie because you can only make synchros with the condition it has. That means you can't drop your Mara with goat on the field and synchro for 5, you HAVE to synchro with TWO monsters out of your hand.

Tour guide from the Underworld - 1000 Level 3 Dark/Fiend When this card is Normal Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 Level 3 Fiend-Type monster from your hand or Deck. Its effects are negated, and it cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster. Yay, oh wait....Its effects are negated? It can't be used as synchro material?? Wth konami. Only thing the card can do right now is search out Sangan, Djinns, or itself. At least it looks cool.

Psi-Beast - 700 Level 2 Earth/Psychic When this card is Normal Summoned, you can remove from play 1 Psychic-Type monster from your Deck. This card's Level becomes the Level of that monster. Another missed opportunity. Card makes great combos, but it should have had higher attack. Who cares if it is 1700+, wouldn't make it broken, just better.

Gladiator Beast Essedarii - 2500 Earth/Beast/Fusion Made from any 2 Gladiator beasts. Very good for glads, the fact that it can be made from anything is pretty dope. It can also suicide into Stardust Dragon, the only thing glads can't stop. It can't tag out, but you probably wouldnt need to if you bust this out.

Gladiator Beast Taming - Quickplay If a face-up "Gladiator Beast" monster is on the field, activate 1 of these effects:
● Select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, and change its battle position.
●Select 1 face-up "Gladiator Beast" monster your opponent controls, and take control of it until the End Phase.
Why is this Secret!? Because it's so good?? Maybe. It's so many times better than E-con in glads, and some people even want to side it AGAINST glads. I would probably never go so far as to do that, but the card is still good in Glads imo.

Full House - Trap Select 2 face-up Spell/Trap Cards (except this card) and 3 Set Spell/Trap Cards. Destroy the selected cards. Konami really wants us to use this card, and I would say that most of us are still on the fence about it. This is definitely not a main decked card, just fyi. You side this in against people who use field spells and continuous spells(GKs, dragunities) and decks that set excessively and use lots of normal spells(Hero Beat, Machina). The idea is, if your opponent has a field spell, then it is pretty easy to use full house. Example: They have 1 Descendant, 3 face downs and Necrovalley up. You have Full House and D.prison because hey blasted away your monster. He attacks for 2000, you flip D.Prison. No response? Full House. Target your own D.Prison, Necrovalley and all his f/ds. You can do it on your turn too, with a little more time to set up. Your opponent set like crazy and you try to Summon a monster. Oops, Bottomless. Okay, chain Book on your monster. No response? Full house. Your Book, their bottomless, then everything else they have. Pretty situational, but the card can work.

Psychic Shockwave - Trap Activate only when your opponent activates a Trap Card. Discard 1 Spell/Trap Card to Special Summon 1 Level 6 DARK Machine-Type monster from your Deck. This was the silly card we were talking about earlier. Your opponent plays a trap card, you punish them by summoning Jinzo. So they lose a trap and you gain a 2400 machine of torture, pretty cool trade off.

I really wish they upped their game on a few of these cards. Sometimes, it is hard to tell if Konami is being timid, or if they have some other reason for breaking other decks and not any with these^ cards.

The english name for the Dragonaught cards are Dragonute?

**Souj** · 2011-05-03 00:55

btw, that 2nd new darkworld card has its effect confirmed now.

It doesn't seem that great.
Definitely wont be used in Fabled.

**Marcicus** · 2011-05-03 09:37

It would have been absolutely ridiculous if you could have done it more than once per turn.

**Souj** · 2011-05-06 21:29

I sold the majority of my yugioh cards cause I wasn't playing anymore really. But next week I'm going back to play for a tournament(just for fun), so I decided to make a new deck from just the left over cards in my box of commons I haven't sold.
I was originally going to do some Penguin Soldier shenanigans, but when looking through my cards I found this card and immediately knew what I was going to build.

Hell, I still might add Penguin Soldiers, and I'm going to add an Exchange just for the lulz.

WC 2011 Comes out on tuesday for the NDS. I know everyone just pirates the games, but for those of us who didnt pirate or import it, then this is GREAT news. My crack is right around the corner.

yea i just picked this up today, gotta vendors love that break the street date.

**Souj** · 2011-05-08 21:27

I never really liked the Nintendo Yugioh games. The selection of cards are way more limited than the psp games, which wouldn't be too much of a problem if they didn't often time leave out cards that were pretty necessary for certain archtypes. Whereas the psp games literally have every single card + new original cards available.

However being able to easily play online is a plus. PSP online is fail. currenteventlulz

**AlexRuzhyo** · 2011-05-08 22:11

The video game's card limitation is killing me. I found an old GBA cart of WC 2005, which includes cards up to Invasion of Chaos, but still doesn't have 1/4 the cards available to that point. That really pisses me off since that was my "golden age", the last time I played until Crimson Crisis was released. What limited arch-types that existed then are hindered even more with what they cut out.

I tried a .rom version of the last NDS game they released (Arcadia?), but it crashes at certain points during the first duel on both no$gba and desume. I could probably find a fix but meh. Hopefully this new one works on the PC emulators.

Also, how's the XBLA game fair? It says it has Legend of Blue-Eyes through Ancient Prophecy. If it's worth the $10 I might buy it.

**Souj** · 2011-05-08 22:20

If it doesn't update set lists I wouldn't get it. and as far as how good it is, idk I don't have an xbox.

and you know, I always have wondered why Pokemon and Magic card games dont come out with their own video games. I don't want to invest in the real card games, but I'd buy a video game version of them. Nintendo whores out Pokemon and they sure as hell whore out all their other video game licenses. I don't see why they never released another card game after their 1st attempt. Konami's gotta be making money off of it since they release 2 games a year.

**Viserdes** · 2011-05-08 23:59

They actually made a pokemon tcg on the gameboy, i actually enjoyed it although i imagine it would do alot better on modern systems with a larger variety of cards to choose from. I think it only had the base set cards and maybe a few extras, im not sure its been a long time.

**Souj** · 2011-05-09 00:28

yeah, I know. that was the "1st attempt" I mentioned in my post.

**Viserdes** · 2011-05-09 02:55

Sheesh, i always seem to miss something. :<

**Hiryo** · 2011-05-09 10:41

I heard the xbox one has not updated so that would be an immediate turnoff. There is a Magic the Gathering game on PSN(iirc) though, but we all can't get that.

The latest WC2011 has a huge card pool though. The only issues, like Souj said, was that TCG exclusive cards don't get into the game until they are released in Japan. So if you want to try Xsabers then you won't be using darksoul.

**Souj** · 2011-05-09 11:59

I think it was WC2009, I tried to build Cyberdark deck, but they didn't add Hunter Dragons into the game. That was a big wtf cause they had only came out like a set or 3 prior, and was necessary for cyberdarks and lv3normal beatdown decks. But then they added other crappy normal cards from like LOB.

Is WC11 going to have Exceeds? I really hate the idea of Exceeds. It sounds so stupid and from my perspective just hurts the game more. Though I do love the priority rule change that came with it. Lets see if TCG gets that rule change when the time comes...
I also hate synchros too though, so we'll see.

**Hiryo** · 2011-05-09 13:50

Naw, 2011 goes up to STOR, so no exceeds

**Souj** · 2011-05-10 00:24

Was reading up a bit on WC11 and I read this;
[quote] Deck Diagnostics offer players the opportunity to have the game evaluate and help build a stronger Deck. [quote]
This sounds like a horrible fail. The AI has often been incredibly retarded at times, so how is it supposed to figure out what your deck is trying to accomplish and suggest better options?

"I see that you are trying to build a Dark World deck. You should make a Blackwing deck instead."
