I kinda feel guilty now because I am delaying the start of the RP just because I can't figure out a good bio. :(

Seriously though, making a bio without inspiration is hard.

@NightmareInd

If you don't have inspiration you shouldn't be making it in the first place.

Already went over that though, so I won't long-wind it here.

@NightmareInd Go on TV tropes and just make one using stuff from there. Should be pretty quick.

Damn shame we aren't using Link Monsters.

I'd be using those Star Grail's with no hesitation. Can't wait to legit start playing them.

Not yet, at least.

@Scarifar

Eh. It's far off.

How are Toons going to handle the link mosnter format? I don't think Floodgate Trap Hole works on them, right? Thats kinda how I win duels. Floodgate and attack over.

@Scarifar lol at that DOTA cartoon. I saw that on youtube a LONG time ago. Wonder if that guy is still making those? They were funny.

Toons would be more or less the same. You said yourself they don't really utilize the extra that much, maybe a castel if you really need spot removal, but otherwise they just use their maindeck lineup.

You're correct about floodgate not working on Link monsters, though, since they absolutely can not be in defense position no matter what.

@Ammokkx I'm just hoping they don't get powercreeped even more xD. Needing to wait a turn to attack is pretty penalizing nowadays.

Hate to disappoint you, but that's going to happen no matter what.

Yeah I know. Esp since Konami isn't very good at business. Some pretty nasty horror stories from what goes on behind their doors. Never investing in them, thats for sure. lol.

Konami is known for fucking us over, ye.

Remember when Preformerpals were bad? I do.

And now they have more support than any other archetype in the game. The most severe shit got hit nowadays, but it used to be pretty shitty awhile back. Thankfully Link Format will kick Pends in the balls, so they can just stop flooding the field constantly.

@Raddum
You know, if you wan't to hit Pendulum hard, just blow up their scales... Or use the typically meta; Solemn Strike.
There's plenty of ways to seriously knock 'em silly. So I personally find the new Link thing...A letdown, I suppose.

@Ryougu
If you draw the solemn or Twin Twister, you're ace. Going first in Yugioh is op. At least depending on the Pendulum deck they're using. but even if you kick 'em in the dick with a solemn, pendulums can recover really fast. Most decks don't have a huge issue replacing their scales; Though you can cripple them if you're lucky.

Personally I think Links are gonna be awesome. The new archetypes look competent, (At least Star Grail's) and the game can change from the "break my YUGE board" style of play we have right now. Yeah, some decks you like might not benefit from this, my Ancient Gears are a good example, but regardless it's happening so we gotta look at the bright side instead of the negatives. Rogue decks are gonna become more popular and usable, so that's cool. I'll finally be running Dewdark OTK again, lol. Now that I don't have to worry about everyone constantly having a game-ending board turn one.

As much as I wish to agree with this, I don't. The game is still going to be 'Break my board or lose' turn 1 even after Links hit due to the first wave being really good and decently generic, ESPECIALLY in our TCG since Zoo's didn't get hit all that hard. Plus, the game only is that way at the top level of play. Plenty of people on online services and some more casual locals play rogue decks anyway, be it for cost or fun. The game isn't really going to change it's fundamentals, it's simply going to adapt to the new rules and stay mostly stagnant due to modern card design.

The link archetypes that we see, while competent, are also slow. Slow is bad in modern YGO. Floodgates are still a thing, and will be more crippling than ever once you hit their key Link monsters.

I held your opinion at first too, thinking Link was the shit. Then I thought about it and concluded that, actually, nothing is going to change.

@Ammokkx

The change isn't going to be as big as people first expected it to be, that's for sure. Firewall Dragon is busted as fuck, and I feel like we'll get some classic Konami dick giving to the current meta cards once Link Format actually arrives; They had no reason to hit Zoo right now, but you know once Links become a part of the game they'll be swept under the rug. You know what needs to actually happen? We need That Grass Looks Greener to be limited. Otherwise the entirety of next format is gonna be Paleo 60 card. Which while hilarious, would make the YCS really boring to watch.

Yosenjus are going to be extremely popular at the start, I feel. But they'll be getting the dick too. The one thing I expect to not see get hit is Metalfoes and Lightsworns. Mer Mails will get hit, just waitin' for it.

For the moment, Rat going to 2 is actually pretty good. I'm current;y satisfied with the banlist. Except for Imperial Order, but we're getting a Trap version of Twin Twisters so I no longer will give a single fuck.

@Raddum@Ammokkx Just do what I do, Run chain burn. Only Paleo can deal with it sort of, and they are going to get WRECKED when Necrovalley gets its eratta over here.

@Archmage MC
Don't run chain burn, don't be lame. No honor or glory in winning with burn.

Run chain burn.

kys

Hey, if they're going to play unfun decks, I'll beat them with the most unfun deck of them all.

Never chainburn vs heroes though, those are fun to fight.
