crystal beasts need pendulum monsters.

[werewolfjedi]

because playing them in the scale zones, makes them spell cards, so that would support the deck's old needs of being reliant on a high spell beast count to do things. I could see so many possibles with doing this, plus it would finally be some more support for a very fun archtype that has been ignored for so long.

 

if they were to gain a few new Cyrstal pendulum beasts, what should they do?

and could they also move in the normal spell card zones like the others, or would destroying them instead give them the ability to move into the scale zones instead?

 

something related to the spell cards might be nice, though a general buff to the field wouldn't be out of the ordinary

 

anyway, the scale numbers should be obvious, with 2-5, allowing 3-4 level summons, the original set. carbuncle would be wonderfully good for this deck too.

cobalt eagle should be allowed to remove them from the scales positions as well, giving him a bit more purpose than just chidori material

 

even if the scales were so horrible they couldn't really support the deck, just the fact that you could play some of your beasts as spell cards straight up, would make the deck so much more interesting.

 

what are your thoughts on this idea?

Crystal Beasts needs more usable monster/thread.

The problem is that you break the lore if you add in more Crystal Beasts. Why would they exist when (from what I remember) they are supposed to be the 7 rare gems collected by the Romans, and make up the colors of the rainbow? Advanced Dark already exists, too. All you can really give them without changing the lore is indirect monster support, or Spells/Traps.

 

Also, it doesn't seem to say on the Wiki if Pendulums are even considered "continuous spell cards", it just says "Spell Cards". Weird.

Exaclty what I was going to say. This is exaclty what the wikia says:

 

 

Although they are treated as Spells, they are special cards that are not treated as a Normal, Continuous, Field, Equip, Quick-Play, or Ritual Spell Cards.

 

I think that the only possible way to do more support for them would be new S/T cards or Non-CB monsters, like for example, the dragons that could destroy monsters or S/T by sending 1 continuous spell from the field, don't remember the name but I think they came out at the same time than CBs

I actually didn't know that.

I don't go over there.

so the lore matters in yu gi oh? this is news to me

Breaking flavor is dumb. So no, they don't deserve anything. Especially while Crystal Abundance exists, because that is actually one of the most overpowered things in the game even now, it's just surrounded by shit.

[Lonk]

Just give them a continuous Spell Card that has "Crystal Beast" in its name.  It wouldn't break flavor and would be usable fodder for the Crystal Beast S/T support that require using Crystal Beast cards in the S/T zones.

[Neutrality Man]

1. Figure out the best Pendulum Scale
2. Find a duo that has that Scale.
3. ?????
4. Profit

Well there is a rumour they're getting a Pendulum in Secret of Evolution, so meh.  *shrug*

 

Regardless, any new "Crystal Beast" cards they get don't necessarily have to be monsters or different monsters flavour-wise; additionally, Rainbow Dragon is their boss monster, and he could do with a retrain.

 

Also, Abundance is a stupid card indeed, so I'd rather have it go if it means that they get meaningful, non-OP support.  Their best support card IMO is really Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins anyway.
