Newb Defense League III [locked because remake]


Recommended Posts

@White: Ah, well I'm still not going to try and make 1. Even if I'm not bad at drawing.

 

Yeah, it's something I like to think of when I'm waiting for something.

I already have quite some things about him/me.

 

Actually that just means it was ready to grow up, seeing as Fogging it restricts its growth it has to wait till it's dispelled. And will probebly do so quite quickly.

I like those ideas. Yeah, that's how I'll make everything work. I'll be an 'undercover' agent of Light then.

Also should I give my "Number" card an abstact number? I was thinking about giving it something like 00. That is, presume that the final "Number" card will be 100.

 

Though I still need to work out how I would eliminate the Darkness then.

 

No, I'd keep it normal, since the "Numbers", I think, will run from "00" to "99"; and "00" is going to be something unexpected.

 

[spoiler=My thoughts on "00" ]

It's Astral.

 

All the "Numbers" are members of Astral's universe shaped by human ideals. Yuma wanted something to make him a better duelist, so Astral was the result. Only when Yuma is strong enough will he have to defeat Astral's "Number" form. It also explains why as Yuma starts to lose, Astral faints. As a "Number", he is being consumed by the opponent.

 

 

 

 

Speaking of ZeXal, did it escape your notice that they're holding a duel tournament to bring "Number"-holders in from all over the world? Seems similar to a 'Fortune Cup' from a while ago doesn't it...?

 

Also, in Ep. 14, Astral seems amazed at the fact that Kaito's dueling ability is greater than his. A bit strange considering that seeing his opponent Exceed Summon twice during one turn, his one counter is to Set a monster in Defense Position (and nothing else), and later, Set a Trap. That is the extent of his dueling ability. It isn't exactly ground-breaking. And as for Yuma turning emo, I see it more just realising his inability to duel. After all, he has lost quite a few duels in this series already...

I'll keep it with 81 then.

 

That does make some sence.

Yeah I know. But I already discussed this in another club with someone else. And I just forgot to mention it here apearantly.

 

Also apearently Yuma's father let's his underaged sun climb a mountain/clif on his own. Great parenting skill.

Well he is bound to Yuma, so maybe his idiotness is contagious?

 

I know, I was just overexagerating. I like doing that.

Yeah, it's not as if Astral is a rip-off of another character from another series-Yami! Yami! Yami!-is it...?

As I've said before, his parents aren't exploring. They're in jail somewhere.

That's unfortunate if it is true.

 

Oh, okay.

 

 

On another note, I posted "Pristine Vestal" in a thread of its own recently, and someone said it was a shame it only targeted Level 2 or lower Normals, since they wouldn't do much damage in a direct attack. Clearly they forgot about these cards:

 

300px-ThousandEnergyAST-NA-R-1E.png300px-TrianglePowerAST-NA-R-1E.png

 

2400 ATK "Atlantean Pikeman" or "Oppressed People" anyone?

 

Something else to find funny. If you activated a trio of "Triangle Powers" on "Oppressed People", you'd end up with a 6400/8000 Level 1 charging at your opponent! "Sword and Shield" completes the OTK...

Almost everything in this serie is a cheap rip-off from a previous YGO.

Lol, I must've missed when you said that.

That or Astral just thinks he is a great duelist.

Unfortunatle most people forgot about them. But not me.

 

No it's a complete OTK if you also use "Opti-Camuflage Armor".

That's my theory as to why they're away all the time. His gran and sister have told him they're travelling, when in fact they're locked up for child abuse.

Hadn't thought of that. But it could be true.

Indeed. Or use "Virus Mail" or another direct-attacking card.

Yep he might just be vain.

Exactly. Yeah, I think could be fitting. Heck, even "Baby Trigon" would do the trick.

Well, considering "Thousand Energy" and "Triangle Power" both destroy any monsters they've affected in the End Phase, and you're aiming for a OTK, "Virus Mail" does the job well enough.

 

 

Oh, and "Pot of Duality" is coming out with the new Collector's Tins.

Exactly, I was like. "This is just like Pot of Greed. How is this ballanced!". So I'll probebly use it in some Decks that lack Draw power.

 

Well, have a look at some of the other cards coming out in Photon Shockwave:

 

"Rabbi-Dragon": A 2950/2900 Level 8 Normal. Trying to cut into "Blue-Eyes" are we?

"Rai-Raider": If it battles, the other monster cannot attack again. A nice card to Set and wait for your opponent to ruin their trump.

"Killer Frilled Shark": Basically, an upgraded "Necro Gardna". And since the new wave of 'Banishark' monsters will love this, it's broken.

"Telepon D.D.": An Effect Level 2 with 1800 DEF. Come on. Oh, and a reduced-time "Gold Sarcophagus" effect.

"Watt King Cobra": It can attack directly, and its effect triggers when it attacks directly. Hm. Not to mention it's a continuous Deck-to-hand searcher...

"Tribe-Shocking Virus": This just makes no sense. "Tribe-Infecting Virus" was banned years ago. Changing the cost to banishing the monster does not balance it out!

"Goblin Construction Crew": "Trap Hole" lockdown. And it's a Level 4 EARTH Warrior with 1500 ATK (so not at all searchable...)

"Photon Lead": The joke of the decade. Special Summoning 1 Level 4 or lower LIGHT monster with no cost, it's also a Quick-Play. Did Konami sort of forget about "Lightsworns", "Fableds" and "Counter Fairies"?!

Extra Gate: Now that Exceeds have come along, the floodgate for anti-Fusions and anti-Synchros is upon us. No cost for trump card removal.

"Hate Crevase": Right, so if your monster is destroyed by an effect, you can blow up your opponent's monster and burn them for maybe 2000+ damage? Not at all broken...

"Photonize:" It's a good thing LIGHT monsters don't thrive on quickly Summoning high-ATK monsters or increasing their ATK, or this card would be momumentally broken(!) Oh, wait...

"Dark Flash": Tribute a 1500+ ATK DARK monster to destroy all Special Summoned monster Summoned during that turn. 'That turn' being your opponent's turn...

 

 

They really have lost their way.

Yeah, I noticed them aswell. But imo, "Tribe-Shocking Virus" isn't that OP, seeing as you need the same type as your opponent has in your hand to use it, it's uses are somewhat limited to Decks with A LOT of different types.

And "Rabbi-Dragon" is just a slightly upgraded "Spiral Serpent", so I don't expect it to be used over the way more supported "BEWD".

 

The others are just ready to be Banned.

I suppose you're right, but anti-"Blackwings" have the semi-staple "D.D. Crow" to use.

 

This is why I've stopped playing the game, and am simply collecting now.

@ Lex: You know I mentioned my fake card; well it's supposed to be a "Chthonian Emperor Dragon", although the name it was given on eBay sort of gave the game away.

The bizarre scan of the card is because it seems to be coated in a very crude Ultimate Rare-style foil across the whole card; except the borders, which are printed in Gold Series tints. Added to that is that it is an '/Effect]' monster, and is apparently 1st Edition, despite the silver Eye of Anubis. Actually, I think the picture looks better than the actual Ultimate Rare "Chthonian Emperor Dragon", since it looks like the stone tablet cards shown in the anime.

@Max and Lex: I was reading a little bit about your Numbers and stuff, and it gave me an idea on what might to expect from #00. #99 might be astral, but if I'm guessing, I'd think #00 would be a weird form of Yuma, you know, maybe one where he never loses except once type deal. But really, I guess we'll find out, but I thought it might make a little sense, b/c how they pulled the stupid combo human/dragon in Bonds across times movie.

I agree, for a Fake, it looks quite nice. My fakes are either gone, or misplaced somewhere seeing as I no loner can find them.

I don't think #00 will be Yuma, seeing as I agree with Max's theory. #99 will probebly be the 'Ultimate' "Numbers" card. With either Rank 12 or Rank 10 and an horribly OP effect.

That's pretty much my only fake card, since I only like the ones that try hard to look legit. And the problem is that all the "Egyptian God" fakes sell for stupid money (£10) because some poor sucker thinks they're real.

Considering they've already shown a "Chaos" monster, it might be related to the Archetype. If it does, Astral's "00" form might also have an effect involving the negation of all other "Number" monsters effects, hence being the key to winning the duel.
