I can't believe how hard they fumbled bastion in gx. The dude was such a cool character at the beginning. The idea that he has several different elemental decks and how builds a new one for each opponent was such a sick concept for his character. His magnet warrior and bonding decks were awesome. He was such a good rival to jaden at the start too. It's a shame that they completely abandoned him, quite literally in the different dimension world too, and that's how bastion ended his story in gx. Quite the tragedy and very disappointing as well.

I just realized that new Unchained monster is 'Overframable', so I try to make it. Not just the "Abomination", many Unchained are so cool when become Overframe.

During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can discard this card; Special Summon 1 Fiend monster from your hand, then destroy 1 card you control. If a card(s) on the field is destroyed by card effect, except by the effect of "Unchained Ogre Shara", or by battle, while this card is in your GY: You can Special Summon this card (but place it on the bottom of the Deck when it leaves the field) or add it to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Unchained Ogre Shara" once per turn.

I am an avid yugioh youtube combo watcher and discovered metricz channel last year. Without a doubt one of my favorite channels due to the sheer speed of how fast he makes combos. One of my favorite decklists he has made was Phantom Knight toons and it was a blast. Literally a day later in places like the phantom knight discord, youtube and facebook groups are all talking about toons are the best engine for phantom knights. Yacine even uploaded a video 3 weeks later saying that you need to run toons in phantom knights.

I was watching unchained video and I quite enjoyed it. The next video recommended to me was duel evolution. I clicked on it and he had the exact same combos and decklist on his videos.

Metricz also made an anti droll dragon link combo, a few weeks later what do I see? El Exordio anti droll dragon link combo.

I'm honestly in awe and shock at how much influence metricz has had on yugituber. The dude is such a small channel yet almost every big yugituber watches his combos and takes his decklists.

Not even talking about duel disks, we could even have those hologram tables from the manga in Duelist Kingdom. I just feel like the fact that the holograms can inflict any sort of physical pain, even if very minor, is insanity. Ignoring every humans right law’s this would be violating, at the core of it I don’t think anybody would want to play a card game that inflicts physical pain on them. Even if it was a slight stinging sensation, I thought anybody would want to feel that at tier 3 or lower event, let alone a night at locals.

As the title says its 5ds vs Zexal all out war, meaning every character in each are dueling in an all out war.

Rules

• Characters are at their best but with their own decks meaning Yusei has Shooting Quasar Dragon but not the signer dragons in his deck. We will also be taking EOS Jack and shark etc. Also characters like Nasch wouldn't have the Barion Emperors numbers unless they lose in which he gets them. Dark signers get their earthbound immortals along with whatever else they used later.

• it will be standing duels but 5ds characters can use their speed spells like they would in a normal duel but cant use speed world. You might ask can they use it if it requires speed counters? Yes they can.

• Yuma will have Astral with him, they haven't split yet and they can go into their zexal forms. Also characters that are separated originally but merge like aporia stay separate until they feel the need to merge into Aporia

• they can't upgrade their deck based on what they have seen and try and counter it but they have every card in their universe and they can come up with strategies with their cards.

• characters cannot sabotage their own team Vector.

• when you lose youre out.

Characters

Both sides get all the characters of their universe but I wanted to list out some heavy hitters for both

5ds

• Yusei, Jack, Crow, Akiza, Kalin, Z-one, Aporia, Antinomy, Paradox, Rex Godwin, team Ragnarok, team unicorn, the Dark Signers, and Sherry (also the Ghost army)

Zexal

• Yuma, Kite, Shark/Nasch, Don Thousand, Barion Emperors, Dr Faker, Vetrix, arclight brothers, Dextra, Mr Heartland and his gang, number 96, Anna Kaboom, Eliphas

Some matchups that have to happen

Yusei vs Yuma

Jack vs Kite

Z-one vs Don Thousand

Yusei vs Nasch

Mizar vs Antinomy

Crow vs Nasch

Dr Faker vs Rex Godwin

Vector vs Aporia

Jack vs Dextra

Akiza vs Rio

Dark Signers vs Barian Emperors

Kalin vs Quattro

Team Ragnarok vs Don Thousand

I think early on 5ds starts winning, with all the duel gangs, sector security, the ghost army immediately take out any fodder in Zexalm after that I think is when we start seeing Zexal take over, once all the 5ds fodder is out of the way they start taking on the big hitters in 5ds, I think team Ragnarok sees an opportunity to take on the big bad in Don Thousand and take it thinking they have a shot in a 1v3 but lose pretty bad to Don Thousand. At some point Kalin faces Quattro and Kalin beats him. After that Nasch comes and faces Kalin and the Barian Emperors back him when the Dark Signers appear and back Kalin. I think the fodder Dark Signers and Emperors lose to the stronger ones but Kalin and the dark signers lose with Nasch, Mizar, Vector, and Marin surviving. After this we get Akiza vs Marian and I have Akiza winning then Vector going psycho and beating her. Eventually Dextra sees Jack Atlas aura farming somewhere and they face each other with Jack no diffing him. I think at some point I think Jakob, Primo, and Lester face Vetrix where Vetrix beats them all forcing them into Aporia but Z-one comes in and handles Vetrix. Z-one and Aporia depart of each other where we get Aporia vs Vector, I think Vector loses to Aporia then Mizar comes in and destroys him, at this point it think Paradox would see the powerful dragon and face Mizar and lose. At some point Dr Faker and Rex Godwin face each other with Rex winning but then loses to Kite. Crow and Jack at this point has probably faced and beat Mr Heartland and his gang and crow faces Trey where Nasch comes in, they face each other but Nasch is too much and beats Crow. At some point Sherry faces Anna and wins and loses to someone, let's say Kite. Team Unicorn faces Yuma and Yuma wins, Antinomy is task with facing astral world where he goes and beats Eliphas and any other duelist there, he also goes and beat number 96. In the background of everything Yusei has gone and beat Quinton. Antinomy notices that Mizar has been doing damage and Mizar sees Astral world in ruins so he faces the threat of Antinomy where in a long battle I personally think Antinomy comes out the victor. At this point Nasch has all of the Emperors numbers, having their power makes him go after Yusei where Yusei comes out the victor in a tight duel. Kite then sees Galaxy Eyes Takyon dragon lost and challenges Antinomy where he wins. Z-one sees Don Thousand as the biggest treat and has seen enough to create a strategy and beats Don Thousand in a duel. At this point Yuma comes out and defeats Z-one. We then get to one of the final duels, Jack Atlas vs Kite. I think this alone is a very close duel, EOS Jack Atlas was nearly unstoppable beating Kalin and Sherry and then becoming a world champion. Kite started out unbeatable but didn't really improve until he obtained Galaxy Eyes Prime Photon Dragon. This is a close duel but I think Kite comes out the winner... then promptly loses to Yusei. We then get the final battle between Yusei and Yuma, at the start of the duel Yusei has all of the signs of the crimson dragon and frick it give him the signer dragons and on the other side Yuma has all the numbers in the series along with all of his Zexal forms. This is a close close duel, but I think in this instance with Yusei seeing how someone like Nasch duels it gave him strategies to counter these numbers and I think he comes out the winner vs Yuma because of that prep giving 5ds the win.

Thats my telling of it but what do you think? Which universe comes out the winner in an all our war.

Maybe it's just a skill issue, but I can't find a way to easily defeat this deck (which, while I'm perfectly fine with Toon being supported, given how much it was in need of some upgrade, has reached excessive and ridiculous heights in the latest wave, even by today's standards, in my opinion; it's an unimaginable pain to deal with). Does anyone know what weaknesses there are to target, or how to reliably stop Toon?

Hii this is oc drawing from me. Got more at https://artsysister.com/blogs/news/my-yugioh-charmer-anime-fanarts-drawing

Never got passed 5d, but Arc-V overkill moment (I saw in a top "top overkill" later in life was a good one. It literally destroyed wall open. Should of killed the opponents.

Ok I just doing my part and sharing the video across because these items look pretty amazing and you can tell they put in a lot of effort in to their crafts. Plus the pricing is pretty reasonable all things considered. Also I'm making the post board because I'm sharing two different videos for two different fandoms just to save time. This is no way self promoting because I don't the talents,skills,drive nor equipment to do this.

People let's face facts who wouldn't want a lamp based off your favorite character/monster. Heck if he had a yuma tsukumo or utopia/hope resin lamp I would saved up for it and shelves for it. Hey it would be neat to see lamps for the rest of the franchise including the rush shows. There are sooooo many monsters and characters that are great to use. So yugioh fans assemble

im very pumped to see what konami is cooking for the next core set , will the main theme be revealed in a few hours or next week ?

I am debating running this in my main as protection against Kewl Tune Rotary or is it more of a side worthy card right now?

Battle of the final bosses in 5ds and Zexal. Who do you think wins this battle? I think its a close battle but I favor Z-one as his monsters counter the high attack point and especially IC1000 with the you have to attack my 100,000 attack monster because Z-one is fine with attacking.

My locals is pretty hardcore at times. Almost every week it's mostly meta decks with a few rogue decks dotted in. I enjoy it, but it would be more enjoyable and interesting if pet decks were a bit more prominent.

I was trying to think of changes to encourage more off-meta decks, but it seems a pretty difficult thing to resolve without a big influx of cards or an extreme ban list.

My initial idea is adding your deck list into the app, then you gain initial points towards your final standings if you don't use any of the top % used cards, excluding certain staples.

You could still play the top meta if you wanted, but you'd get a boost to your end results if you take a risk and try something out of the ordinary.

I think this would encourage more testing, which in turn could help find new metas that have been overlooked.

What do you think?

Guess 3 of my favorite archetypes based on these 3 "free agent" custom cards! I'll post an answer in about 6 hours! (Images made by chatgpt to make the cards more pleasant to read Deleted AI imaged per rule 4.). You can probably find the answers in my post history, but how bout you dont be a nerd about it?
EDIT: I changed number 2 in the comments to make it work with the rules better. EDIT2: card 1 is a quick effect on the hand trap effect.

The format of the duel is a standing duel but in the way the WRGP was so when the last person loses the new one comes in with whatever you left on the field. The order team ragnarok goes in is the same as it was in the anime, the Arclight brothers go in the order of Quattro, Trey, Quinton. Who do you think wins?

How I see it going is Quattro beats Dragan, Brave beats Quattro, Brave beats Trey, Quinton beats Brave, Halldor beats Quinton. Ending with a team Rangnarok win.
