Synchros

[-Berserker-]

The Duelist Genesis marked the line between 2 eras in this game. I wonder if the pack after The Shinning Darkness will make such an impact too...

 

I have right now 3 Synchros:

RDA (Secret): Came with the tin.

Magical Android: Pulled in Special Edition.

Ancient Sacred Wyvern (Ultimate, 1st ed): Pulled in a pack and forced me to add Sunny Pixie to my deck.

 

I had another RDA but traded it for Raiza and other stuff. Had another ASW (Ultra) but traded it as well. Also pulled a spanish Light End Dragon and I (again) traded it for some cards...

We should have a Gold Synchro.

Bet that looks really superspecialawesome.

Synchros really do make the game no fun in some duelists eyes. Especially for the ones that lack money. I was trying to teach someone how to duel so I set her up against some local peoples that weren't so good but she kept getting beat because they could pull out Synchros very easily. (Mainly Goyo and Stardust.) They made the game harder to pick up for begginers but faster for the experienced players.

 

Also...

i mean come on' date=' Crystal Beasts can take out 3 Stardust's with 1 card

I think Konami has actualy learned that Genericness is bad by now. They haven't been producing many generic synchros lately.

 

I'd rather have generic Synchros than ones who require specific Monsters.

Genericness in a card game is good' date=' and allows for creativity when building a deck.

[/quote']

Generic isn't good when those cards have game breaking effects. Hell even ones that need a specific monster can be broken.

 

And what creativity? If their generic then you need no creativity to just put them in your extra deck.

You, and several others, make it sound like synchros are really hard to get. They are by no means so. A lot can be gotten in tins ore in the starter decks. Some, ok 2, are rare and both are at least decent. A few others are only super. After that most only cost $20. Yes that is a fair amount of money, but when you think of how much you may waste trying to pull one in a pack it really is a fair trade.

 

Also Goyo and Stardust are broken.

I'm not saying they're hard to get for every. Only for the peoples that don't have a lot of money.

 

I agree with you about Goyo and Stardust being broken. So is Brionac and Black Rose Dragon. Brionac can clear your opponent's side of the field (assuming that you have a big enough hand and they have no cards to stop it's effect, which most decks don't seem to have for some reason) and BRD is a Heavy Storm + Dark Hole in one. And don't say anything about "BRD uses up your summon for the turn since you need to bring out a Tuner." That's a load of BS if you take a look at all the Special Summoning now.

[Crimson General]

Synchros are what's keeping me interested. I came back when synchros were new, and I thought Stardust was teh smex.

 

now I own at least 1 of every synhcro in the TCG

 

except

Dark End Dragon

Exploder Dragonwing (just traded my last one)

 

all the ones from Absolute Powerforce

tell me about it. I must've lost over a dozen duels I could've won just because I couldn't counter that. just how do you counter that (aside from the obvious remove it from the field)?

Divine Wrath. It's overlooked but is really helpful and effective.

That's the thing, they don't cost a lot of money. I can make a good synchro deck and spend around $40 since some of the best cards are easy to get.

 

If anything were to be done about BRd it would be in a good format, so a lot of the problem in this one (like being able to swarm right after nuking) would not be as a large a factor.

except some of us don't have 40$. some of us don't have 10$. some of us don't even have 2$...

hmm... I guess that means my trap deck has the best chance then. it's the only one with divine wrath in it...

Then how do you have the money for cards to start with? Yes making a deck of random cards can that you may own can be fun, but once you know what your doing and meet people that know what they are doing that isn't enough and you will need to put SOME money into playing IRL. If you can't you can always use the DS games + AR.

[morfowt]

all my real cards were given to me by friends.

 

and I mostly duel online where every card is free...

[.Leo]

idk why everyone are giving synchros a hard time' date=' it's not like they're invinsible, you can kill them just as easy as you can most cards

 

so stop b!tching about how they're game changers!

 

i mean come on, Crystal Beasts can take out 3 Stardust's with 1 card, they're just cool looking monsters on white cards, nothing more

[/quote']

 

With this logic, CED shouldn't be banned at all.

 

 

The only synchro I like is Power Tool Dragon(It's just fun to build a deck around him). Synchros were never a bad idea, they were just poorly executed. The game will never be better until Konami actually bans every single generic synchro, and from that point on, make only non-generic ones.

 

Goyo Guardian

Black Rose Dragon

Dark Strike Fighter

Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Boundary

Stardust Dragon

 

They were done right.

I think most will disagree with that...

[Coffee Black]

Synchros annoy me. I more or less accept theire existance but they annoy me. Actually' date=' it's not Synchros in general, it's the concept of the 'generic Synchro'. Synchro monsters that confer incredible advantages, like Goyo Guardian, Stardust Dragon, Dark Strike Fighter, etc. can be summoned with any monsters - actually 'generic' Synchros tend to be a lot better than Arche/type/Attribute-specific Synchros (i.e. all zombie Synchros except Undead Skull Demon).

 

I mean, for example, why the hell would a small blue robot, a hedgehog, and a spoon wearing a scarf combine to create a dragon made of the clustering hopes of a new shining star?

[/quote']

 

I agree with this guy. Generic Synchros can really decide a game, and are so easy to accomplish. I don't use them. Once all the synchros are more specific, it will actually be more balanced and take a little skill to use then rather:

I GOT A LEVEL 4 AND PSZ! GO INSTANT 2800 ATK BEATSTICK!

You thought wrong. Only peoples that don't know how to play, don't know how to play well, or are stupid enough to stay in the pre-Duelist Genesis times and not update their playing style to keep up with the game will agree with you.

[morfowt]

I must not have been following the conversation in this thread properly then... *goes back to re-read*. and for the record, I didn't say I disagreed with that statement. just that it seemed like most would...

[Guest Chaos Pudding]

This topic would have been appropriate back when we first learned exactly what Synchros were and how they functioned. Not anymore.
