@goblinbiker @atrocityTCG The main merit, sadly, to running old Masq is if they Droll you go Gorgon search V, you can make old Masq and detach V to mill the opp’s deck, letting you rank up into C104 and CXyz Hope Dragon. But that is really niche.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@atrocityTCG @goblinbiker Yeah, I looked at those, but I just don’t think they can compete with the Counter Trap + 2nd Xyz. Maybe Red Hand and C79 have more merit in very specific match ups but those feel like one in a thousand circumstances. I’d rather play another handtrap or something.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@atrocityTCG @goblinbiker I mean, I’m not denying OG C104 is a crazy good card (New C104 being ‘only’ Drident is mid), but having to search the RUM and make OG 104 for it seems like it isn’t worth it compared to grabbing, say the Counter Trap, and making some other Xyz with excess bodies.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@atrocityTCG @goblinbiker We get one (1) good Rank-Up via V Umbral Horror's GY effect and are expected to be happy about it. I will not be playing any of the Barian's Rank-Up Magics unless things have gone badly wrong.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@goblinbiker @atrocityTCG Realizing the Masq isn't a Umbral Horror 'til you rank it up sucked.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@ygorganization Does the Field Spell only start counting summons once it is face up, or if I use the monster to place it face-up during my opponent’s turn and they’ve already summoned non-Numbers from the ED twice, are they then locked?

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@ygorganization So, this is searchable with the White Forest Synchro, right? Not as straight forward as the synergy between Glitch Hunter and WoA, but for sure something hard core Synchro combo decks will want to do to grab Spell Canceller or something.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@atrocityTCG I plan on looking at the Fiendsmith lines you can do if you don’t get locked, and I want to see if there’s anything to using K9 as a bridge to get into Umbral via Nash. If there was a way to consistently get Lupus under the CXyz Dragon, that’d be something.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@ygorganization It is a little awkward, but the new 104’s search effect seems to be a soft once per turn, so you can search the reborn with you first search, get it into the GY, then reborn and re-attach to get a 2nd search. Notably, in addition to today’s reveals, you can grab the classic RUMs.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@atrocityTCG It is ‘interesting’ to see them move away from dynamic turn 0 options like Dtail and RoLaD already in favour of this and Angelechy- Turn 0s that don’t disrupt, but instead establish a floodgate you have to hope your opponent cannot gracefully out. Not a fan tbh.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@atrocityTCG So, I guess in Ashtraja, you can make this guy during the opponent’s turn for double removal on summon, a pseudo-Trap Hole if they keep playing, and then you can synchro climb again into Chengying for further removal? That seems good.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@RedTheWeeb Playing the game of ‘beating the ridiculous invincible boss monster’ is also fun if your deck has a reasonable out to work towards.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@Mr_Yeet123 @TheRedGoner The problem is, I don’t think a Fusion like that would have the same will as main route Kris?

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@chronocrump The rest of the attacks were fine (the tunnel seems to be very rng on whether you get to just press forward 50 times until the attack ends or have make 6 rotations in three forward steps), I just ended up learning her dialogue prompts for the bomb attack and made them all guard.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@atrocityTCG Witness of Ancients should have had more than 0 ATK, perchance.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@atrocityTCG Are you fitting 2 Albion and an Ecclessia into the ED or just 1 of each?

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@atrocityTCG Could you please let me know if you find a way to trigger the search without hard opening Rusting? The only way I've found so far is link climb to the new Link-5 and dumping Naelshaddol Ariel, and I would prefer not to play Ariel in my R.B. deck.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@atrocityTCG Rough testing: this new card means Girsu+a discard lets you set up the R.B. endboard+Uka without having to play Clockwork Night or Operation Test. Other 2 card combos can do it too. The problem is it needs Nshaddol Ariel, which sucks, unless a better way to get a banish is found.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@atrocityTCG Wasn’t expecting RB to get free agent support so soon, so this was a pleasant surprise. Not being able to run it flawlessly alongside a Striker package sucks, but pretty much everything about it is dope. Need to brainstorm a way to get to the search without opening Mammoth.

[Donnacha Henchy @TragicRubric]

@GiantMimighoul1 You are going to see people do terrible things to your pet deck. You are going to watch them play into handtraps in new & exciting ways. They are going to discover chokepoints you've never seen. It would almost be glorious if it didn't hurt so much.
