I can see Lonefire Blossom and Dandylion working, but Fallen Angel of Roses? Or is it that I'm missing a piece of the Plant Engine?

Fallen Angel of Roses is a level 7, and its a plant, so its summonable by Lonefire.

Also, Dragon Shrine, lots of Dragon Shrine.

Hieratic Rulers are quite powerful, unfortunately. I'm frankly not surprised Dragon Rulers still have not died.

This guy genuinely got me pissed off. I had Solemn Judgment set just in case, but I was saving my trump card for after I had accumulated more advantage. But my buttons were pushed.

PriO cards be rolling in, this is the last set in the ZeXal era, so it's going out with a bang.

Interesting card brought up: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Wave-Motion_Phonon_Dragon

What I love-

1) typing
2) attribute

What I don't-

A) the effect
B) stats

It's pretty bad. A Level 4 Synchro tuner is interesting, but unless one is going for Quasar, it's an ability that is pretty useless for Librarian spam, or anything else for that matter, given the two conditions involved. A nice effort, though!

I was about to say, "If that was LIGHT Dopple would be all over that." And then I saw its effect and face-palmed.

Out of the new revealed cards(read, like 3): Burincess looks to be quite bad. Nopenguin is the official troll of penguins decks however, that thing looks kinda silly.

There was a LIGHT Level 5, a Photon monster that searches itself, but it's too situational, and limited to once per turn.

Anyway, more Heavy Storm hate. Don't like alt-win? Well too bad.

I've heard somewhere that there is an incoming Gusto Monster coming along in PriO. Certainly something that will revolutionize the Archetype as we know it, but sadly, will also turn it into a "Tunnel Vision" Sphreez Spam, removing the inherent skill the Deck needs to be played at full power.

Lo and behold, Pirika, Lineage of Gusto:
http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Pirika,_Lineage_of_Gusto

She basically means "Sphreez, Sphreez, Sphreez", given the Levels of the Gusto Tuners currently available in Eguls, Gulldo and Falcos. Sadly, no Level 7 shenanigans here.

It's WIND Tuners, not Gusto ones. I can see a couple of possibilities in there, with Cockaldoodlewhadjafucker using to make Stardust Dragon and Quickdraw Synchron used for Chevalier de Fleur. And that's really implying to you need skill for deck.

In the end I'm pretty pissed, and good riddance to ZeXal and its kiddie garbage. A bad set to bid bon voyage to a bad anime.

Is the final Zexal set what the cards you're posting come from? Or is the final Zexal set already in the past and the cards you're posting come from some new series' first set?

If the former: you say that like you think things will improve.

If the latter: has the new set given you confidence that things will be different this time around?

Yes, this is the final ZeXal set.

Maybe.

5D's was amazing and rebooted a dying franchise that was living off nostalgia from the DM era, and ZeXal's whole approach was to assume 5D's never existed. While it's been popular, it's not as popular as Synchros were (even if it's generating more revenue, as cards are more expensive) and has been panned in the West, although kusari affirms it's better than we think.

I don't have a LOT of hope, but YGO's track record is less spotty than say Toei's with PreCure. So I'm cautiously optimistic.

Just a fresh start with a new staff. The head animator for ZeXal is a moron.

When I'm into it (reading a good yugioh fanfic or watching the show). And have people I know to duel. I could do random matches but I like knowing who I duel a little bit.

Decided to randomly look at this thread and saw my name. Figured I should say something.

Zexal is definitely an interesting idea. However, it's run has kind of done the opposite 5Ds did. 5Ds began with a bit of low key, one off episodes and characters to get us into the current world. Then it went into a beautiful tournament arc and easily transitioned into a phenomenal "ancient evil" arc with Dark Signers. However, right around the end of DS, things started to get fucked up. Crow, who was supposed to be a Final Boss of the DS arc became a creator's pet and got shoehorned in as part of the main character squad. Because of this there were a bunch of things thrown out of whack which fucked up a lot of things (ex. Aki was an AMAZING character through the first half of the series and was the unofficial "third" to Jack and Yusei. Then Crow took the position and Aki got degraded to Tea status.) Then staff changes happened (including the departure of the guy who wrote the DS arc) and we got a clusterfuck of a plot that not even Tite Kubo and his amazing asspull abilities could save. Granted, I still enjoyed the second half and 5Ds is my favorite Yugioh series, but it was far inferior to the first half.

Zexal on the other hand, had a long period at the beginning of Character of the Day duels (did Yuma really NEED to duel the trash robot. This continued into a tournament arc that was filled with even more CoDs using ace cards we'll never see again interspersed with a few bits of big bad. Once they get to the quarterfinals, we're pretty much left with heroes and villains... except for a couple CoDs who were never even alluded to show up for no real purpose. Furthermore, the big bad situation is all fucked up and culminates poorly. Then comes that "opposite of 5Ds". Zexal Two gets a person on the staff we're familiar with. Why? Because it's the guy who did Dark Signers. What do we get now? A group of antagonists with a clear motive an engaging plot that takes the mangled shell that the first half laid out and makes it watchable, and my favorite Yugioh character ever, Vector (Yep. He even beats out Jack.). The series is winding down (obviously) at the moment and, if spoilers are any indication, is looking like it'll be some pretty good last few episodes, if slightly rushed to bring in Arc V as quick as possible. I doubt the last episode will top the one 5Ds had because that was just brilliantly done, but I'll enjoy it.

Tl;dr: It's no 5Ds. It's no Duel Monsters. It's far better than GX. And as long as you go in with that mindset, you can enjoy the second half.

EDIT: Forgot to say, but I can see Arc V being a lot like Zexal. Based on the info we have, I'm putting my hat into the "shitty first half, decent second half" formula hat.


As for the card game, I literally have no idea what the meta looks like now (Is Drizzle Politoed + Swift Swim Kingdra still banned?). I've considered getting back into playing but time is being a bit of an issue.

What bothers me about the current ZeXal arc(s), from what I've read, is they're essentially a rehash of ideas from DM and GX but done to the tune of XYZs. Apologists have thrown out the word "homage" but when a series is literally relying on the same archetypes or plot ideas as a prior incarnation of the same show, I have a hard time picturing it as a homage proper and more like a derivation. ZeXal is more similar to DM than GX (which had DM characters) or 5D's ever was now, while being furthest from 5D's and closer to GX in terms of where the story is actually going.

It actually looks like the stuff with Vector is the only original material in all of ZeXal. :V

How about more evidence that ZeXal and its staff are retarded?
