More Transcendrakes is cool, but what Dino is that one based on? I thought they're all retrains of level 6 normal dinos, so I thought the fire one would be fire opal head. When I looked at dark/Light I couldn't find any level 6 normal dinos, but Dark Driceratops was pretty iconic so maybe it's a retrain of that?

As foe the nouvelles stuff, it's good support, but weird. Why is there now randomly patissciel cards being mentioned, and why do they have a pendulum monster? If anything, all I wanted was just a matching recipe ritual spell for each of the remaining ritual monsters. Again, these cards are good, they provide alot of extra consistency, but the deck didn't need it. You already had things like impcantation or benten/herald engines to search your ritual stuff, so I was hoping for more power. Specifically Nouvelles needs more backrow removal and some way of actually ending games cuz 2 2k ATK monsters is not cutting it.

I don't really care about vanquish soul and I don't know enough to comment on those cards. But i guess if you can get all 3 effects on that trap, it can be really strong.

I don't think the Link even has a base form tbph. As for the level 12 main deck guy, the base form is the level 6 Meteorus. There was no shot that it would've been a retrain of Fire Opal Head as it's a different dinosaur species.
Also Dark Driceratops doesn't even look remotely similar to the Link, neither does the only other level 6 vanilla dino that exists; Sword Arm of Dragon.

The only Patissciel monster that exists is the fusion from DIFO, which does have a Starlight version fwiw. I don't see the harm in linking her to the Nouvelles lore tbph.

I think you misunderstood. I know the level 12 meteorus is an upgraded form of the level 6 meteorus. I was saying that they might release a new fire transcendrake that's an upgrade to fire opal head.

As for the nouvelles part, I'm not upset at all. I wasn't saying it's a bad decision, just a weird one to decide to link one random card from 3 years ago to nouvelles.

Edit: I just realized if the Patissciel is a scale 1 and the new Nouvelles is a scale 8, could it be they're trying to make pendulum ritual monsters? I also find it unusual that Confectionary Contest says "also you cannot use monsters as material for a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Summon for the rest of this turn, except “Nouvelles” and “Pastissciel” monsters". What's the purpose of this lock? Are the Patissciel monsters going to be the extra deck that goes with Nouvelles?

Ngl, the Dino looks a bit like some of the Rush Duel Dinos. None of 'em so specifically to be worth pointing out, but it'd be super funny if they made a tcg evolution to a Rush Duel-original card. That being said, the Dinos only have 1 card revealed while the others have 2. Maybe they'll reveal a de-evolved form of the Link?

As for the Nouvelles, that's a really cool design choice. The opponent placing stuff in def was not a huge weakness, but being able to mitigate that yourself while also having more in-archetype methods to trigger your Rituals is super nice. The added lore is - quite literally - icing on the cake.

A new FIRE VS was necessary. The previous one - Pluton HG - truly was "Hot Garbage". The basic battle position change is actually kinda relevant for battle tricks while an extra search effect was sorely needed just to get all the pieces into rotation. Kinda sucks that it needs double FIRE, but I suppose it's workable.

I don't think they will considering all the Trancendrakes we've seen thus far have been different attributes and FIRE is already accounted for, so I'd say that ship has already sailed.
Also I'd say I didn't misunderstand, moreso your thought process there was worded poorly.

3 years ago? Uhh... DIFO was last year.

When I checked the Patissciel card, the date written at the bottom was 2020. I didn't check the set, so maybe there's a discrepancy between the date on the card and the actual date it was released.

There's no discrepancy whatsoever, that's been printed on the bottom right every card since ETCO was released.

Meaning the date written on the card is different from the date it was released...that's the definition of a discrepancy.

*facedesk* ...It's not a discrepancy, it's a fucking copyright notice. Prior to ETCO, the copyright notice on all printed cards said "©1996 KAZUKI TAKAHASHI".

Ok, it's a copyright notice. But the date is different, therefore there is a discrepancy. I thought that date was when the card released, I was wrong. But if the dates are different, there's a discrepancy. Also you don't have to be so technical about everything. Like saying "I didn't misunderstand, you worded it poorly" is still a misunderstanding. It doesn't matter who's at fault, a misunderstanding still happened. Don't take everything as personal attack.

I still think you're seeing discrepancies that don't exist.
