Too bad there's not a whole lot I care for in this set. There's mainly Malefic and D/D. While Malefics may be fun, I don't think they're worth the gems. And I don't care for D/D. Nyx I want to send you a friend request. What profile do you have?. Also, like card Flipper campaigns? I do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking of trying a restart so I can fiddle around with the latter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Melon 1,227 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Looks like Zexal's getting its first mini box and I'm... somewhat unimpressed, tbh. I just don't feel like any of the archetypes featured in here are all that viable in the context of Duel Links. A few of the generic Xyzs (Zenmaines, Levair, Diamond Dire Wolf, and Zenmaioh) are pretty solid though. Can't really decide if the Xyzs are enough of an incentive for me to pull. I'd really like Dire Wolf, but it's just so bad in matchups nowadays... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But remember, the ZEXAL Duel World has just been released recently, so think they’re gonna add more better cards at a later date. Also if they were to add a ARC-V Duel World, it would be really big!

I'm aware. The issue is that Geargia and Heraldic Beasts are have pretty much their entire archetypes in the box, so they won't get much better without actual new support cards in the real card game. As for Wind-Ups... their best cards will likely never come to the game because of how they work. ...which basically means that the only good things to aim for are the Xyzs which just cannot compete against the types of decks/strategies running around right now. Better Xyzs won't actually change things unless they jump to the really powerful ones or they weaken everything else with a banlist. tl;dr: Cool box, but ultimately a dead end.

I'm gonna wait until there's a more compelling Xyz Summoning archetype (well, for me that is), like Madolche. I'm just gonna stockpile my Gems or spend them on an older set.

Mr Melon 1,227 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 So, with that banlist shaking up all the tiers, I think I might have a chance to go for KOG. Going off reddit reactions, people are thinking Blackwings are gonna be the top deck, which is pretty good for me (Yosenjus). I'll just trade in some of my battle-heavy traps for an additional hand-traps/chainable traps. The awful Dark Magician matchup will probably be gone as well as Invoked Cocytus. Not much actually remains super threatening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Nyx Avatar 4,182 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 The only hit on the list I'm sad with is Invoked stuff. The Dragunity Spell goes unlimited, as does Hiro's Shadow Scout, and Shiranuis take hits. So I'll take the hit with the Invoked stuff. I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Melon 1,227 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 New box revealed: Rage of Volcano The general consensus on the subreddit is that it sucks. And it looks like it does. It kinda hurts because I love Hazys and I like Fire King, so I might dig regardless. Gotta love how the burn damage halving even applies to the pure burn spells in this box. Hinotama deals better burn damage than Final Flame and Ookazi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aside from the Battlin' Boxer monsters, the only FIRE monster I like from this set is Volcasaurus. I think I'm just gonna dig into an older set. Really, the only card I'd really want from that set is Vylon Dissigma. Yeah. At that point, they shouldn't have even released those burn cards in this set. At least Axel had a few Volcanics in an older set that weren't butchered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Melon 1,227 Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Been some time since posting here. I've got a decent Onomat deck going. I'll post the list, but it's been really expensive to build and it isn't even the most optimized version of the deck. Still, it has a very consistent and effective strategy going first or second, but it's just going to keep getting more and more expensive as time goes on as they release better Rank 4s... Meantime, I've just been meming around in the KC Cup. Mostly been playing my Majestic Felgrand Deck. It has a pretty depressing win percentage, but when I get the lockdown, (White Night Dragon + Ruins of the Divine Dragon Lords) it tends to shut down quite a few strategies. Most of the common Spell/Trap techs target so White Knight ignores them, and any monster-based removal they summon gets negated by Ruins. Not a consistent deck in the slightest, but fun to watch the opponent squirm when the lock is in place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know what you mean. I took a hard pass on that Volcasaurus box, but I really wanted what Photon of Galaxy had to offer. Some staples from the early years of Xyz, and some Photons! 7 hours ago, Mr Melon said: Most of the common Spell/Trap techs target so White Knight ignores them, and any monster-based removal they summon gets negated by Ruins.

Sometimes, my opponent has too many Spell/Traps on the field, so I resort to Decking them out with Sechste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
