Hello all,

I wanted to check this before my next locals.

Glitch Clutch Nullgainer says the cards it summons back cannot be used for a fusion/synchro/xyz/link summon. Ultimaya Tzolken states that it cannot be synchro summoned, and its summon just requires sending the tuner/non-tuner to the GY.

My question is whether or not the monster summoned by Glitch can be used for the summon of Ultimaya Tzolken. I’m pretty sure it can, but I’ve been wrong about this stuff before and I just wanted to be certain.

Thanks!

Hello all,

I couldn’t think of a great title for this post, so I hope this one works.

Some friends and I were talking about Exodia decks after the 6/8 Genesys points list dropped. One friend said that the head of Exodia needs to be at 100 points because too many cards are getting unnecessary points because of it. Another friend and I rebutted that it’s cool when Exodia resolves and it should stay as an option for people to build around.

Afterwards, I really thought about it, and realized that functional Exodia decks that plan on drawing the 5 pieces check a lot of boxes that often get labeled as unfun or toxic. A ‘good’ Exodia deck (at least from what I’ve seen) is often a long, fragile, solitaire-style combo that is extremely zero-sum in that it either works and you win, or it doesn’t and you lose. Plenty of decks with this general gameplan have come and gone. The most recent one I can think of is Gimmick Puppet FTK, but there’s no fondness for that deck the same way that it is for Exodia.

Maybe I’m comparing apples to oranges, but I have trouble finding a functional difference between a deck that FTKs you with burn damage/mill/turn skip vs an Exodia deep draw deck.

I began to ask myself what Exodia has over these other FTK decks. Obviously, Exodia has its status as an iconic Yugioh monster helping it out, but is that the only reason? If an Exodia deck had a noticeable place in the meta the same way Gimmick Puppet did, would people’s opinion on it change? Whenever I brought this up with my friends, their response just boiled down to “Exodia is cool, everything else is lame.”

So, here are my questions for the Yugioh community:

1. Are there any decks that you believe get a pass for being unfun/toxic on paper, “because they’re really cool decks?”

2. If so, what makes that deck a “cool deck?”

3. What would need to happen for you to stop giving those decks a pass because they‘re cool? (Does it need to top a YCS, does it need to beat you in tournament, etc.)

Hello all,

I‘m looking for something fun I can take my fiancé to do on Saturday nights throughout the summer. We’re trying to not be as sedentary as we’ve been recently, but I’ve got some chronic back pain that prevents anything too strenuous. Something where we’re walking around would be ideal.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Hello all.

I was goldfishing my Kuja deck and I used [[Improvisation Capstone]] revealing [[Lindblum, Industrial Regency]] and [[Return the Favor]]. I had a few questions about this specific set of reveals for Capstone.

1. For Lindblum, can I choose to cast its adventure spell ( Mage Siege) without paying its mana cost? Or not because it’s a land?
2. If so, does that count as a 0 cost spell or a 3 cost spell for Capstone’s 4 mana value check?
3. For Return the Favor, can I use the additional spree cost to copy a spell, or does this work like X spells?
4. If I can cast spree spells, will that count just the mana value in the corner, or the mana value in the corner + spree cost for Capstone’s 4 mana value check?
5. If I reveal a copy spell off of Capstone, can I target the Capstone with the copy ability to make an additional copy of Capstone to use?

I‘m not super familiar with the subreddit, so I’ll try to do the links thing, but if I can’t, I’ll post pictures for card text.

Any help is appreciated!

Clarification on the title:

Oftentimes on this subreddit, you’ll see an interaction of Poster A states something like, “The game would be better if all the Handtraps were banned,” and Poster B will rebuttal with, “That will just make turn 1 combos too powerful.” You can substitute HTs for anything that you think is making Yugioh worse.

With all the access to free simulators, online communication like discord, and a sizable community that shares these sentiments (at least according to this subreddit), I wanted to see if anyone has tried making one of these “No X“ formats and ask about their story. I want to know if it worked out how they wanted it to.

If anyone’s willing to share, a few specific questions I have would be the following:

1. What did you change about the format?

2. How many people were involved in your customs format?

3. Did the format’s rules change after the initial inception?

4. How long did your custom format last? (Was it just something fun for an evening, or was it played for a while?)

5. What decks did you end up playing in this custom format?

6. Was the format as good/healthy as you wanted it to be?

7. Did you or someone in your group try to “break” the format?

Also, just to try and get ahead of a few things, please do not talk about a format where you removed or added 1 or 2 cards. I’m trying to look at broad strokes changes. Additionally, I know it’s tempting to just not tell your story if you made a format and it wasn’t as good as you wanted it to be. Please be open to talking about your custom formats, even if they didn't turn out how you wanted.

Any responses are appreciated.
