Miror B Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 If they do the keyword system. maybe now they can finally just put piercing as piercing to save card space. They already do. Go look at Gaia Charger :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yeah, Piercing is a keyword. It's now written as "Inflict Piercing Battle Damage", and has been ever since GENF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I think he meant the card would literally just say: Piercing on it as opposed to piercing battle damage, like Trample in MTG. More keywords are good. I mean, given that if they are making some things more consitent across cards, then it'll save space. And is reinforcing the whole: YGO is becoming more like it's competitor's vibes I'm getting, the OCG spoilers being vanguard esque, and th TCG adopting MTG's competitive draft idea (In a different manner) and more keywords.

evilfusion Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Some of it can be justified by Yugioh being so ridiculously complicated at times that simplifying comprehension is the only way to get new people to pick up the game.

goddamnit names are a pain Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 If I recall, the TCG are having 3 banlists a year, and the OCG are having 4 a year. Last I checked, it was 2. One in September, and one in March. It may have changed on me. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Last I checked, it was 2. One in September, and one in March. It may have changed on me. XD The banlist system was changed recently; in August, so that the TCG gets 3 banlists a year and the OCG gets 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 The banlist system was changed in August. And thats why I didn't know. Thanks, lol. I wasn't checking on Yugioh stuff a lot until a little bit into October, so I could have just missed it. (Not exactly the best wording. Still, I don't have any good reason how I missed this. Derp.)

Toffee. Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I was considering building Shinra, but the name change is making me reconsider -.-......Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleOnceCalledGod Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Because Shinra was an awesome name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Because Shinra was an awesome name. Do people still actually announce the archetype name every time they play a card involving that archetype? Sylvan and Shinra (awesome as the latter is) aren't that different. I'm just weirded out because I read it as "Sylveon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizarus Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 The keyword system is good in MTG because it has lore that you actually want to read, and ability explanations get in the way of that. Not sure why Konami is adding these key words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Shinra name because I can actually pronounce it. This new term you either pronounce horribly, horribly wrong or you sound like a Pokemon nerd while playing Yugioh. Which isn't bad, but wasn't he intended purpose. I'll be asking people if they play a Sylveon deck just for kicks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

玄魔の王 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Why hs nobody made a "Sylvan Learning Centre" joke yet? OT: the keyword system is a good spacesaver if you can actually confirm somewhere what the phrase means. It's also useful in MTG for effects that are subtly different. Why Yugioh would want it, I have no idea, because MTG effects also use icons to demonstrate cost. What would a detach icon be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKaitoKid Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I like the keyword system and hope more are applied (such as spin or bounce). It shortens card text and makes the wording much less verbose than it already tends to be, *Thinks of snoww unlight of dark world* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthakin Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Am I the only one guessing 'Excavating' might be the new "Generation specific' way of summoning? (I also seem to be the only one having no clue what soever what Sylvans are.) I mean, makes sense, no? I dunno. It's a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I also seem to be the only one having no clue what soever what Sylvans are.) I mean, makes sense, no? I dunno. It's a guess. Excavate literally just means "reveal from the Deck". Sylvans are an archetype of Plants that reveal the top card(s) of the Deck, and Plants among them go to the Graveyard, the rest going to the bottom of the Deck. They also have effects that activate when they've been revealed from the Deck by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Hate Snatch Steal Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Does excavate imply shuffling any remaining cards into the deck if no other action is specifed for them? eg "Excavte 3 cards and send the monsters among them to the graveyard" would shuffle the non-monsters into the deck? If yes, then it saves some text space. If no, then why even crate the keyword in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
