Loving everything she got, probably won’t break the meta but it’ll be fun!

Players wanted Called by outta here 🤏

Seeing mirror force in 2026 make a part of me want battle trap relevant again with the meme you just active my trap card ngl. But with how many S/T removal there days i guess it will be impossible for advanced format to do that

Yes, they look disgusting.
Yes, they are horrible floodgate merchants.

But they were MY disgusting, horrible floodgate merchant.

And yes, this archetype was basically a stillborn archetype, zero supports after release for 10 years, and the hits are a mercy kill atp, but I still mourn for my first pet deck :(

Beautiful call back to the Power of the Duelist set, and also a great tie in with the GX remaster since they just recently had the tag duel with judai and aster!

YCS Houston Genesys day 1 stats

I have previously kept track of YCS Paris feature match stats. If you want to look at them you can click here

For YCS Houston going first on feature has a 68% win rate. This is in line with YCS Paris which had a 69% win rate going first on feature matches. The point update has so far shown no effect on bringing down the favourability of going first. I'll be updating the sheet with both advanced and day 2 Genesys when they happen.

Normally being able to draw cards is a really good effect in Yugioh, but Card Of Sanctity just has such a ridiculously steep activation cost it's just not worth and is even usually detrimental.

Are there any cards that let you draw cards that are worse than it? Or is it the worst?

What I have presented here is all cards that are banned in both the TCG and OCG respective formats, In some useless but interesting data. This was a day late. Yes I know Called by the Grave got cut today. I just like to see how different we are between our formats and how much wider it's going to get. I wouldn't be surprised at all in about 2-3 years that we would have over 100 cards more banned in the TCG that the OCG will keep legal.

In the images, the limited cards are what they are at in the other format. For example. OCG still has one block Dragon, Maxx C and so on. And the TCG still has Subsitoad, Obedience Schooled and so on.

After today's part 1, we're at 50 cards the TCG has banned that the OCG still has legal. Tell me what you guys think. I really want to know. Please try not to be mean to the OCG players just because they don't ban whatever we get rid of, I know that's asking a lot. lol. They play by completely different rules and we shouldn't trash them just because they do.

I'll make a updated on Monday. I'm working on a Genesys one too but it's a lot more work and effort. Personally, all the TCG bans kinda makes me jaded a bit. I don't care for the floodgates nor the "end board pieces". I play mostly rogue decks. And I get why they get hit on the lists. But it feels less fun. That's just how I feel.

These are the stats:

• TCG has 122 Banned cards
• OCG has 94 Banned cards
• Both formats share 77 Banned cards.
• Of the 122 Banned TCG cards, TCG has 45 cards Banned that the OCG still has legal.
• Of the 94 Banned OCG cards, OCG has 17 cards Banned that the TCG still has legal.

Rikka has been one of my favorite archetypes of the past 6-8 years. The artwork is just gorgeous. Here are some of the evolved versions we've got:

- Rikka Black Princess: The more mature version of Rikka Princess, which was itself an evolved version of Rikka Petal.

- The Rikka Empress: Teardrop was previously a Queen, but now she's the Rikka Empress. The same goes for Strenna.

- Primrose the Twin Rikka Fairy: These are the more mature versions of Cyclamen and Primula, who appeared together in the artwork of Rikka Sheet.

NOTE: I noticed that they decided to prioritize Meta/Competitive cards over iconic signature ones for Kaiba. That’s why we missed out on a Blue-Eyes white dragon in Ultimate Rare and got Cyber Jar lol.

I think if Yugi were to receive 5 ultimate rare cards in that pack, it would be mostly meta ones.. not signature/iconic cards, just like Kaiba.

MY PICKS (using only cards from that pack)
- Marshamellon
- Swords of Revealing Light
- Monster Reborn
- Mirror Force
- Spellbiending Circle

MY ALTERNATIVE PICKS (using his entire card pool)
- Black Luster Solider / DMOC
- Breaker the Magical Warrior
- Graceful Charity
- Monster Reborn
- Mirror Force

The manga version of Zane is pretty much the same character as season 1 Zane; he a perfectionist who truly want to see the best in people and know people can be better. He can be pretty chill and surprisingly caring. In contrast you have season 2/3 Zane who no longer duel with respect towards his opponents but is constantly trying to evolve and better himself as he forge his own identity. Which Zane do you prefer?
