In two weeks I can play a lot more.

For now, Artifacts are kinda broken, when you have the element of surprise. This time, I was surprised, but by this guy's perverted tendencies:

It's been said that Artifact hybrids are the best deck, and I'm pretty proud to say my "Dinofact" deck is a retrograde nightmare. It's very defensive, generates huge advantage and explosive plays, and is very good at disruption. I want to test it out on some people!

By all means, let's have some fun. I also want to test out my "ChronomArtifacts". Though I think we should stop with the bad Artifact puns, as much fun as they bring to the table, they are pretty cringe worthy.

It's almost like they're trying to make Dragon Rulers broken again.

At the very least, it's Monster Reborn with an LP cost. At the very most, it's a 5000 LP generic Rekindling. It's also at 3.

Draw this and win the game.

Perish the thought. I was merely cracking a Dragon Rulers joke, that's all. Anyone who's played YGO for more than a week would realize that the game was not designed with a card like this in mind nor has it evolved to support such a card in a fair and balanced manner. I expect to see as many copies of this card in decks as is legal.

Why would Konami ever release this card?

Oh I knew completely what you were on about. :P

Also, remember my dilemma about using Lonefire Blossom in Fire Fist? Well, most of the things you could use with it are absolutely rubbish, completely situational, or reeked of "well this coooullllddd work but why". But I did find one thing that might work with it. Turns out that the new Traptrix sister has a special effect when she is Special Summoned that sets a Trap Hole card from your graveyard, not to mention the absolute funtimes you can have with Nepenthes...though I ALWAYS draw into my Nepenthes ;A;. Of course I haven't been able to get my deck balance right. I run 3 Void Trap Hole, since its the only one that to me seems any good in this meta, but arggghhh I have no idea what i'm doing. lol

The funny thing is, this card is really only a problem in the TCG.

In the OCG, it's a high-risk high-reward card. Open your Graveyard, but nuke your lifepoints. You lose the ability to play Solemn Warning or take any hits once this thing hits, ensure all other copies are dead, and it can still fall to a Torrential Tribute (which is now at three) or a Bottomless Trap Hole (still at 2).

In the TCG, it's a huge problem because of the TCG's own "mindset" about how luck is a bad thing and must be exorcised, and why all the trap cards were banned. Similarly, another card that's balanced in the OCG:

Quote:

Is broken in the TCG. In the OCG, they have a "no draw on the first turn" rule, meaning you open with 5 cards. Meaning you can't activate this on Turn 1. But in the TCG, which pushed for the 6 card opening, this card is ridiculously powerful in certain decks like Fableds, which just spend the turn drawing cards off Librarian, Ragin, and summoning Quasars.

Ultimately, the fault of these cards isn't Konami. It's the TCG players for being stubborn and childish, and this is their punishment.

Not sure how Guarded Treasure is broken out of turn 1. It's MST bait. Yeah sure it can be used for a Fabled dump, but hell, so can Full Salvo and other terrible cards. It's not exactly the most broken card ever. It's not on the scale of Spellbook tower or something. It just feels like such a massive bait card. I dunno, I still play three Tenki

*GASP*

THIS CARD. THIS CARD MAN. JUST. THIS CARD. A DARK TUNER THAN SPECIAL SUMMONS FROM THE HAND AND CAN BE ANY LEVEL FROM 2 TO 6? THIS. CARD. Literally what we needed, and makes Sanctuary relevant too.

It doesn't really. Sanctuary in the Sky is a debilitatingly bad card, but if it were better it would break all the support around it.

If the Fabled player goes first, he has a 50% chance of winning the game on that turn alone. I'm not sure if you've ever seen the De-Synchro Fabled Decks. Card Destruction was the only other card that could plus mad like this with them, and this doesn't even have a condition that you can only have one on the field.

Realistically, still no one will use Saturn, and Jupiter is a 1 of Tech at most. Basically, it's a "Dump Venus / Earth", and it offers some Graveyard manipulation for Archlord Kristya, which is probably its greatest asset. The Sanctuary in the Sky and The Agent of Judgment, Saturn are far too many Cards to commit to the use of in exchange for this much reward. Earth will still prove herself as the Tuner of choice in Agents, though I'm open to test out Uranus. Don't see what the big fuss is about, though.

Also, the wording on Soul Charge is kinda bothersome. I'd be so much more willing to let that thing fly around if the LP Payment was a Cost, not a Condition. This basically means that I don't get to Solemn on Activation it OR Torrential Tribute it when the Monsters are Summoned, but rather, just Torrential Tribute it. I'd have REALLY liked it if it stuck to the "High Risk - High Reward" idea it needed to have to make it acceptable; if people are willing to pay 2000 LP for Solemn, and 5000 LP for Cyber Stein, who's to say that people would not pay THIS?

Also, am I the only one who wants actual Siegfried von Schroeder's Valkyrie Cards instead of all of these Broken / Useless Spells? That Archetype is still the dream of countless YGO Classic Fans, and probably hardcore players as well. I know that I, for one, REALLY expect a few, maybe 3 to 4 Valkyries as well as some S / T Support. Maybe for follow up on PRIO.

The same way no one would use Mars. They suck ass. I'm talking about how Uranus is actually good. Sanct may be bad but this tuner isn't, and being able to synchro the same turn you use Earth without having to rely on T.G. Striker is more than huge. But maybe I'm being too optimistic. I believe Sanct also has its own Solemn Judgment card as well.

Indeed. "Divine Judgment" will have even more of a niche when Pendulums make it into the game, not to mention with the advent of Dragons of Legend now that people are unsure about the future of Solemn Warning.

Also, I'd wager that Pendulums aren't that bad; they've had no Tops as of yet. Meanwhile, Arctifacts and their derivatives continue winning Tournaments left and right in the OCG, in Japan and abroad. I believe we have found the real culprit of being "Batshit Broken", and it's headed straight to the TCG. Though a lot of Artifact's success is actually owed to another mostly unknown card outside of the TCG; Chronomaly Nebra Disk, otherwise known as Chronomaly Hero Cyber Stratos Core.

I'm having a really hard time deciding if I should build 3.5 Axis, or Dragon Turbo 4 Axis. Any comments or help with testing?

I assume you mean Fire Fist? I honestly don't have a clue otherwise lol.

I have been trying Koa'ki 4 Axis though, man Diamond Core is a great card and Urnight is just *drools*.

I'm going for building the actual IRL Deck, and I can actually get all I need, Roosters included, for slightly under $120.00. Therefore, it's more of a Format call; is 3.5 Axis really that much weaker in comparison, or is 4 Axis with Triple Dragon / Tensen the new Standard?

I was under the opinion Dragon and Tensen were terrible and the "better" build involved Boar, Bear, and Gorilla only.

Oh and 3 Cardcard D but ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Boar is Tech, Dragon / Tensen go hand in hand to force resource consumption.

My biggest issue is that I have tested neither. Yo, Blaze, you free to lend me a hand?
