r/yugioh

I will never shut up about how much I absolutely adore Yu-Gi-Oh card artwork lol. I've been trying to improve my art recently and yugioh card art is like one of my biggest inspirations! I hope to achieve their level of skill one day. Even if that's an unrealistic dream, it's still one I have nonetheless! Of course, I want to develop my own style as well, but we all start somewhere and this is my starting point! One day when I'm more confident about it, I'll definitely share some of my own art on here with you all. :D
My favorite card-arts right now are Silent Magician and Talaya, Princess of Cherry Blossoms. They're so beautiful they take my breath away! I definitely hope to use them in a duel one day! I'm not that great at dueling, so I'll just focus on bettering my drawing skills first though lol. Please please pleaseeee share your favorites with me! I wanna know everyone else's favs! I wanna see all sorts of cards from all sorts of decks! :D

Gofu & Golem: there are simply better things available now that can get your link combos going, plus in Golem’s case, you need to commit 2 ED slots just to get the full payoff which is hardly worth it anymore.

Electrumite: Pend has done nothing & will continue to do nothing, put this card to twelve, who cares.

Goblin: cards legal in OCG & MD and does jack all, better link 2’s exist these days especially since arrows hardly mean anything these days.

Meow-Mu: could have comeback the moment Scythe got banned, and truthfully didn’t need to get banned in the first place, decks been powercrept since Albaz came out lmao.

Scarecrow: Apollo, Baronne & Savage are gone even Omega, let it come off.

Bahamut: yes Toad is powerful, but realistically did this need to happen even at the time?? Coulda just banned Molenglacia and stopped the handripping

Heavy: As long as floodgates continue to live & breathe, we need as many outs to them as humanly possible.

OSS: Snake-eye has been powercrept to death now, let it free

Sixth Sense, Return & Ultimate Offering: these cards are way too slow these days to make any sort of meaningful impact, test them at 1 and see what they do (which they won’t do anything) and decide where to go from there.

Admittedly I never got to play graceful charity because I was a Kingdergartener when it got banned but now as an adult I realize the unfathomable power of this card and I read this page for the first time with adult eyes and I find it makes no sense.

For context, this is turn 2, Genma's first turn, and his first play of the duel is to play Graceful charity, which puzzles Yugi and Genma's opponent as he plays it right at the start/before even summoning a monster.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Graceful charity best played as fast as possible, before you committed to doing anything this turn ?

Of all the statements in the manga that contradicts my personal experience and understanding of the game, this one puzzles me the most, cuz unlike many cards in the manga/anime, graceful charity works exactly like in real life so I think I have a good enough grasp of real life to think I know their statements make no sense imo

In Yu-Gi-Oh ! R, the antagonist Tenma hired a bunch of goons to try and stop Yugi from climbing Kaibacorp. Tenma placed a bounty on Yugi's head and one on Jono/Joey. As you can see, Yugi's bounty is 100k dollars (and that was back in 2004) while Jono's is just 10 dollars.

Obviously the joke is that Tenma way undervalued Jono's worth because everyone keeps underestimating him but that made me wonder: How much you would price his bounty if you wanted it to be more accurate ? Knowing that Yugi is worth 100k

1ST place: Elfnote.

2ND place: ROLAD.

3RD/4TH place: Elfnote/Blitzclique.

Rare autograph opportunity for Alexis and Aster's VA. If anyone is going, let me know?

In a hypothetical world that Season 4 of GX was dubbed, what kind of name you think 4KIDS would have given him?

First we need to look at other localized names to see any patterns, and there's 2 very important things I noticed. The name needing to sound more natural/less awkward in English, but keeping the same sound/syllable in the beginning as the original. (Jonouchi to Joey as an example)

So, my idea is calling Yusuke Fujiwara, Gabriel Faust, Hear me out. Gabriel, as in the Archengel Gabriel, is being based on his connection with Honest who is an Angel and is a normal first name for someone to have, the Faust being based based on the Faustian Bargain tale, because Fujiwara did make a deal with the devil essentially (Darkness being the closest thing that the Yu-gi-oh anime has anyway) and the fact it starts with an "f" sound.

Is a bit on the nose, and the religion theming may be both to obvious and something that 4KIDS wouldn't do, but is the best I got, do you guys have your own ideas for a localized name for him?

I made a R.B. Ga10 Driller deck box! Fits a 40-card Main, 15-card Extra and 15-card Side Deck, with room for dice. The drill actually spins! It was quite a lot of fun working on this project, going through a few revisions for storing dice before reaching the final result. Really glad my R.B. cards have a good home now. 😄

For me, Flame Wingman.

Also Eye of Timaeus, and Claw of Hermos. Not sure why they still haven’t been released.
