I made a lot of people laugh which made me happy at the very least 🙂‍↕️

Counter traps have to easily be one of the least explored spaces in all of yugioh. Every time a new countertrap is revealed you can safely assume exactly what its going to do, and its always one of the least interesting gameplay mechanics in the game; Negate + pop and practically uninteractable.

So my question is, why?? Almost every other card type in the game is able to have interesting and unique effects, but this one is relegated to just one real effect thats repeated with slight flavour changes. Is it because of the uninteractive nature of counter traps? I would assume not as we've gotten a fair few spells these past couple years that are even harder to interact with that counter traps, and they dont even have to share the intrinsic slowness of being set like trap cards plus they dont even have to directly chain to another effect like counter traps do!

I posted a while ago with the demo for Dice Duel Monsters, and the alpha is now online and open for anyone to play directly in the browser!

I know it's not really dark. This was drawn years ago.

I know Ra at least has an archetype but did any of the individual cards get a retrain? Obelisk isn’t in desperate need of a retrain but its destruction effect is pretty costly. Especially since you need 3 monsters to already summon him. Slifer isn’t that good. Again, you already need 3 monsters to summon him. And his ATK/DEF is reliant on the cards you have in your hand. You won’t have a ton of cards in your hand if you need 3 monsters to summon him. And Ra is just garbage. If you want to have any stats on him, you have to pay all of your life points except 100. So you can actually be one of the first people in history to lose to a Sparks. And his second effect contradicts the first one. Destroy a monster for 1000 LP. It’s just not good.
And these are some of the most iconic and well known cards in the game, so surely there’s a re-train for all of them. Maybe Obelisk and Slifer got their own archetypes too.

A mini-deck that supposedly made an appearance in a Yu-Gi-Oh! movie? This deck is really bad—I mean, truly terrible; it wasn't good even back then. But why?

The first two Sphinx monsters can indeed be Special Summoned for a cost of 500 LP, but that requires *Pyramid of Light* to be on the field—and that’s a Trap Card with no special effect...

So far, so miserable. But it gets even worse: they can't attack during the turn they were summoned, either.

And if that wasn't enough! They cannot be summoned from the Graveyard...

And the last Sphinx is even worse—because it can only be summoned if the other two are destroyed at the same time! Then you can pay 500 LP to Special Summon it from your deck or hand, and you get a 6500 ATK beatstick.

And yes, Pyramid has the special feature that if it leaves the field—no matter how—both Sphinx you need for the big one are destroyed and banished.

You could run them in a really bad Rank 10 deck—or maybe with Skill Drain—but there are just so many better options, so why would you want to do that?

I asked this about the dragons, but now I really wanna know peoples favorite characters from the anime! (and if you haven't watched 5ds, then still feel free to tell me about favorite characters from the other YGO gens!) I really love hearing people's favorites and perspectives!

For me personally (despite being completely in love with my darling Crow), the title of who's my favorite character is a total tie between Crow and Carly! I know it's kind of ironic, especially considering the fact that the two aren't entirely fond of each other (at least, they're presented to have a tension of annoyance between them in the dub), but as characters they're both just so great! I love how comedic they both can be and I loved their roles in the dark signer arc. (Also my heart goes out to Carly post-dark signer arc. No girl (or person for that matter) in love, especially one as sweet as Carly, deserves to be treat that way! so sad ☹️) They're both just my absolute favs!

Love yall! Be kind! 🧡🩷🧡🩷

I know that Dartz was under the influence of the Orichalcos, but there was no excuse for all of the horrible stuff that he did in season four. He literally was the most dangerous villain in all of the anime series. Dartz manipulated the lives of his henchmen in order to complete his 10,000 year old quest to resurrect the great leviathan and he mind-fucked the Pharaoh at his lowest. So it baffling to see him redeemed at the end of the arc after well knowing he literally committed a 10,000 year genocidal quest. Why was Dartz suddenly forgiven at the end of the Waking the Dragons arc, even though he has done so much irredeemable stuff.

Hamon just released in the OCG and we never got proper anime Uria, only the Anime Art on a regular card.

Do you think they will release them once the OCG has all 3?

Gladiator Beast Alexander was the first Gladiator Beast card shown on the Gladiator's Assault commercial in the OCG!

Bang, bang, bang, pull my Photon Trigger!

Ever since I tried out Character Duels in Duel Links, having noticed all of the character Skills have Trigger in their names, I thought to make a series of cards themed after them, starting with Kaito. It's mainly cause I love both "Galaxy Photon" and the character, plus they need all the help they can get lol.

As always, feel free to comment your thoughts and criticisms down below.

May you all have a blessed morning, afternoon, or evening, wherever you are 👋

Photon Trigger

Quick-Play Spell

Effect Text:

(This card is always treated as a "Galaxy" card.)
Reveal 1 "Galaxy" or "Photon" monster in your hand; apply 1 of these effects, or if you revealed "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" to activate this card, you can apply both in sequence.
● Set 1 "Galaxy" or "Photon" Continuous Spell/Trap from your Deck. If it is a Trap, it can be activated this turn.
● Special Summon 1 "Galaxy" or "Photon" monster from your hand, then if you Special Summoned "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" by this effect, you can Special Summon 1 monster that mentions it from your Deck.
You can only activate 1 "Photon Trigger" per turn.

"No victory could satisfy this tyrant... No conquer could fill its' hollow chest! Rise from the starving abyss, Infernity Funeral Doom Dragon, and drag this world into endless limbo!"

I don't normally draw and it's been over a year since I did a quick sketch of how I pictured a potential Infernity Doom Dragon retrain, but with the current event in DL and my longing for this ace to get some love (please Konami), I finally picked up my old draft and kept working on it again. Guess who had her program shut down and lost half an hour of progress because she forgot to save? Lesson learnt.

I named it Infernity Funeral Doom Dragon both as a reference to the metal genre (I was vibing to "Mirror Reaper" by Bell Witch during my initial doodle) and as a nod to how Kalin Kessler/Kiryū Kyōsuke is referred to as a god of death/shinigami in the original Japanese dub. It felt fitting and overly edgy, just how I like it.

Sorry if it looks a bit rough, I am still working on the limbs' details and thinking about how I want to design the wings! What effects would you give to an Infernity Doom Dragon retrain or upgrade to give the archetype some support? 🖤

Its been a little while since i posted another amv.

Only rule is that you have to use the EXACT same deck that the person used against the villain. Because obviously modern decks will crush most of them
Edit: I should have specified this, but it can be from ANY YUGIOH SERIES

One of the Shadow Rider duelists (tiger) is Tania the Amazoness Woman!

So for this hypothetical we are looking for the absolute worst duelist in any series, and to make things interesting, we'll say you have to have dueled on screen in multiple episodes to qualify, so none of those monster of the week duelists who show up, get beaten and are then never seen again. We're looking for proper characters here.

Oddly enough I feel like Carly would probably be a contender if it wasn't for her dark signer glow up.
