Yay! My deck is more or less total garbage compared to y'all's. As it should be. Lol

Bruh, Tobias is that scrub who shows up to a locals with his slightly modified structure deck and proceeds to get stomped by some try-hard running Kashtira or Tearlaments. xD

Alright, knowing that, I'm comfortable with Traditional.

Also, uh, let's say the location is Not-Japan
I don't think I mentioned any country in my bio. Should be good on that front.

I feel like reading the post answers this, but here it is:
It's a combination of the two; it's closer to the real world, in that the card game as we know it, exists. The main characters and their home town exist, but because this setting more closely resembles reality (on the surface), duelist kingdom and all that, either never happened, or were just normal card tournaments. Another overlap with the anime is that they still call it "Duel Monsters".
Does that clear it up for you?
Yes
<Snipped quote by The World>
Reading the whole thing would answer most of these questions, but I'm going to be cool about it: we're using master rules 5, I provided a link for the rules.
We're using the latest ban list, including limited and semi limited, I included a link for that too
The settings based limitations are, admittedly, only given a basic acknowledgement; nobody is trying to escalate to where it's open duel monsters warfare, with casualties and massive property damage because for one reason or another all 3 "factions" are incentivized to keep this all secret. Deferring back to the rules and ban list, there's nothing stopping people from running Sleifer or whatever, but when you consider the setting itself, a giant monster appearing anywhere, especially the middle of the city or something, is going to draw unwanted attention. So, I guess a "rule" on that would be, Power Rangers; don't do it unless not doing it becomes the worse option. Within the intro, for example, "NotJoey" pulled a troublesome stunt in the eyes of The Duelist Society, but, it was literally life or death, backed into a corner. He also got out of there and avoided getting involved with the authorities, who are going to make up their own plausible explanation for what the hell just happened.
I'm very interested to see what you have in mind for a unique card, and character, once you've read the provided material. PM, please
So is this not the anime setting, then? I was under the assumption that cards like the Egyptian Gods, Sacred Beasts, or Earthbound Immortals would be off-limits due to them all being one-of-a-kind and in some cases possessing apocalyptic levels of power.

Hmmm... An interesting take, considering (in the ooc) I mentioned a parking garage/structure, and the clockwork duel disk being out of date. Not to mention the excessive lighting in the city, and the portable phone.
Are you referring to the OOC, or just what I've described in this thread? too late for me to change it, in any case
Oh I was referring to the latter. I spotted the link above after I hit "send". xD
If I may offer a thought, the description of plot sounds like something that would take place in like the late 1800s or early 1900s. You know like something akin to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Or even Sherlock Holmes with an occult magic twist to it.

Arahabaki ~ Consul YWord Count: 612
Level 7 Roxas: 48/70
Exp: 1
NEW EXP Balance--- 49/70
Between Flow Motion and the dash of his StepSword, Roxas was probably one of the most agile and maneuverable of the Seekers aside from those who could straight up fly. So trying to flee from the giant vacuum attack was something he could do at least for a time and it resulted in him being one of the last to finally be consumed by the attack. And yet, that wasn’t the end apparently. He and everyone else awoke in a big white room patterned with geometric lines and shapes.
And at the center of it was the Consul. Or at least Roxas assumed that’s what it was. Some kind of mass of geometric lines surrounding a dark polygonal core, ”Um…” Roxas stammered, having no idea whatsoever what was going on, ”...Okaaaay.”
He heard Sandalphon’s explanation, something about them needing to fight their way out otherwise they’d get fully consumed along with everything else. Well that at least made things simple. And all of them against this one core thing? Easy! Or maybe not… because that was about when the core thing suddenly summoned a bunch of humanoid figures made up of purple wireframes.
”This seems… weirdly familiar.” Roxas commented. Was there something in his or Sora’s memories that was tied to what looked like a digital landscape? If there was, Roxas couldn’t recall it clearly. Something about… Bugs and… Datascapes? That part of his time within Sora’s Heart was admittedly pretty fuzzy and… absolutely confusing.
But no more time for thinking. The Wireframe enemies were closing in and they were clearly not friendly. But now Roxas’ MP had recharged so he could afford to be more aggressive again. The first cluster of them that came at him were treated to a healthy zap of lightning courtesy of a Thundaga spell. Then Roxas used his StepSword to dash into a flurry of strikes from both energy sword and keyblade alike. That dash was proving to be instrumentally useful in getting around faster, even in a big empty space like this where there were no objects or structures for him to use Flow Motion with.
”Finally!” Roxas quipped as he finished off a small cluster of Wireframes, ”Enemies I can actually fight back against!” Sure the situation wasn’t great but honestly the Nobody preferred this over getting bullied by a bunch of invisible Legios he couldn’t touch any day of the week.
The Keybearer was able to develop a routine of using StepSword to put himself in the midst of a wireframe cluster only to follow that up with a Thundaga Spell to soften them up. After that they were usually simple enough to finish off with strings of normal attacks. But he didn’t want to just fight wireframes all day long. The Consul’s form was over in the distance and Roxas suspected that the wireframes wouldn’t stop coming until they could actually concentrate their attacks on the thing that was summoning them.
With this in mind, Roxas decided not to focus on the wireframes so much. He instead used his StepSword dash in conjunction with what little Flow Motion he could build up to try and work his way closer to the Consul. When he started getting closer, Roxas dispelled his Keyblade in order to free up his right hand to take shots at the Consul with his RockGun. Of course he was still using the StepSword to dash and slash his way through wireframes at the same time. Ultimately he wanted to get close enough to start hacking at the Consul with melee strikes.

Level 5 Ganondorf: 30/60
Exp: 1
NEW EXP Balance--- 31/60
For Ganondorf, the Chasm was easily traversed. He still had his Phantom Pet after all. And just like he had done when he descended into Mercy Dreams, he did the same thing here and safely glided down to the bottom of the Chasm. He was in a better mood now that he had a full belly. Those finches and pigeons were a little on the gamey side but not too different from eating pheasant. And if the choice was between that and something bug-related? Well, he’d take the birds every time.
At the bottom of the Chasm they found a silver-armored knight wielding a pickaxe. What kind of a knight would perform such menial tasks rather than have some squire or servant do it for him? Perhaps this particular knight wasn’t as wealthy as his silver armor suggested. And what exactly was a “hellevator” anyway? Something to do with the blocky waterfall? The knight didn’t exactly stick around long enough to answer questions and instead went right back to digging himself further down.
That armored girl with the blocky figure, Makena - whom they encountered above. Something about her struck the warlord as… vaguely familiar. Her physique looked almost identical to the watery zombies he’d fought in the Shrine of Light. And now he began to wonder if she could have told them where to find more of those handy little Ender Pearls. But unfortunately she was already gone now and Ganondorf himself was in no mood to go chasing her down for such information.
”A word of advice,” he spoke up to the other Seekers once they were all down and gathered, ”I fought zombie creatures with the same exact build as that woman who climbed out of here. We may want to be on the lookout for them around here too. And keep your eyes open for any dark green and black pearls. Snatch up any you find, they’ll teleport you to whatever spot you throw them to. Handy for getting through pesky obstacles or reaching places you couldn’t have reached otherwise. Ender Pearls, I believe they’re called.”
And then of course there was the obvious question about the Guardian. And unfortunately for the Seekers, despite all the time he spent chained to the entrance of the Black Egg, Ganondorf knew nothing of the creature that slumbered within it, ”I’m afraid Toriel and Consul P weren’t exactly chatty about that subject. So your guesses are about as good as mine, I’m afraid.” Ganondorf concluded with a shake of his head, ”That quiet little knight seemed to know a great deal, but Goddess only knows where he ran off to.”
”And one more thing.” Ganondorf added before the Seekers could disperse, ”I found another one of those Flame Clocks the Consuls are fond of in the Castle at Holograd. I didn’t know what it was at the time, but now that that hooded girl has told us of their significance, I thought this might be information worth sharing.”
After that, Ganondorf went ahead and made sure he was traveling near the two Octopaths. Or Therion at least. The warlord presented the thief with the pair of sickles he’d found in the Shrine of Light, ”I found these while I was separated from the group. They’re a little too light weight for my taste, so maybe you can make better use of them.”
