~British Soul~ Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 But it makes no sense to continuously print it for so many sets. I really wanted them to do the Arkana DM artwork (I know Yugi didn't use it but it's still DM) and the latest galaxy Blue-Eyes artwork since we don't have them at all in the TCG. The Arkana DM art for the Yugi deck would be out of place imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matches Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 The Arkana DM art for the Yugi deck would be out of place imo. Both decks already have cards which are out of place. So did previous starter decks based on characters have random cards that were out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofc the reason they put OOP cards in starter decks is pure filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand if they did that, people would be annoyed that they printed someone else's DM for the Yugi deck. So imo it would've been pointless.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, ofc you also have to factor in the amount of people who wouldn't care either way, or those people who'd be happy with Arkana's DM who would be buying the singles of said DM so that they wouldn't be lumbered with the crap.

True, true. I'm just p****d off because I was looking forward to both these decks and now I feel completely let down by Konami. Well no point in bothering with it now.

The deck list doesn't actually surprise me, my gut kept telling me from before they wouldn't, I just wouldn't listen. I wanted to believe it was wrong, so I kept believing they'd make it right.

Dark Strawberry Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 This is the apparent deck lists for the new Kaiba and Yugi decks, gotta say, I'm very disappointed.

goddamnit names are a pain Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I love how Shard of Greed is in there since Pot of Greed is banned. Nice old staples all around.

vla1ne Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Not a bad as I was expecting, but not as good as I'd hoped. are they going to make level monsters a thing now though? because this is the first time in a long while that I've se level monsters in a set.

Sleepy Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 It says x2 of each Dark Magician and Blue Eyes, so we might still hopefully get different art for the second copy. I expect alternate art for: -Dark Magician (the purple one, not so much the Arcana one but that'd also be nice) -Dark Magician Girl (not the Magician's Force one this time) -Kuriboh (I want black Kuriboh from the videogame) -Blue-Eyes (I rreally have multiples of everything except the new JUMP one so, yeah) -Summoned Skull (I don't want the same one as always, and I don't want the anniversary pack one either. Preferably the Asian Tournament art from 2000) I'm dissapointed at lack of Celtic Guardian (to give him the alternate OCG only art) At lack of Mystical Refpanel At lack of new stuff like Dark Renewal At lack of Ancient Lamp Lack of alternate art for XYZ Dragon Cannon, or even an Extra Deck on either of these, or even the Y and Z pieces of the combo. Seriously why is it that they just have X Head Cannon there? I like reprints for Valkyria, Shard, Threatening Roar, Dark Magician Girl, Vorse Raider, and that's about it. Having that Watt Dragon and Alexandrite there really kills the flavor to me. Those are common cards reprinted in recent decks already, and common enough from the beginning anyways. They might be dragons with efficient stats, but I don't want dragons with efficient stats. I want my Kaiba flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 It says x2 of each Dark Magician and Blue Eyes, so we might still hopefully get different art for the second copy. Since we have the tablet art as Common, I would like the Ultis to NOT be the tablet art.

I've already expressed my hatred for the tablet art enough in this topic to agree that I would like to see a different art BEWD as the Ulti I'm dissapointed at lack of Celtic Guardian (to give him the alternate OCG only art) At lack of Mystical Refpanel At lack of new stuff like Dark Renewal At lack of Ancient Lamp Lack of alternate art for XYZ Dragon Cannon, or even an Extra Deck on either of these, or even the Y and Z pieces of the combo.

vla1ne Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 All this talk of alternate art makes me wonder, Is there a chance that we'll get completely new art for any other cards? and I'd love to see a new Horus, Silent Swordsman, Burst stream, Dark magic attack art.

Doubt it. They didn't do it for the cover cards. Much less for the insides. There are all Yugioh alternate arts that I can recall (not counting censorship or retrained versions... or Egyptian Gods) Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (2) Blue-Eyes White Dragon (6) Buster Blader (2) Celtic Guardian (3) Dark Magician (5) Dark Magician Girl (4) Gemeni Elf (2) Giakuteno Megani (2) Jinzo (2) Kuriboh (3) Red-Eyes B. Dragon (4) Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon (2) Summoned Skull (4) Cyber Dragon (2) Cyber End Dragon (2) Elemental HERO Avian (2) Elemental HERO Burstinatrix (2) Elemental HERO Sparkman (2) Winged Kuriboh (2) Soooo a whooping 19 cards out of almost 7000. I'm probably missing at least one out there somewhere, but for now with the sample we have, notice how most of them are from DM or no later than GX season 1. After that, no alternate art has been given to anything. It's pretty sad. Yugioh of all games has the resources to do it. I personally think it'd be really cool if regular booster packs would give us alternate arts for cards that had already come out in the game once in a while. It'd fill their so needed slots for the booster pack without it being worthless and forgettable filler, it'd have more alternate arts for fans to get, and they'd know where to look for the art they want. Games like MTG (and sorry about the comparison) give alternate arts almost regularly. At the very least look at all the dozens of basic manas. It's quite the opposite though. The few times they have released alternate arts has been motive of fuzz rather than something they'd do once in a while. While we are at it, I believe stuff like the copyright and Kazuki's name that's always static for the card, should got on the back of the card along with the Yugioh logo, and the now emptied space should be where the credit for the artist goes. Yugioh is the only TCG I've seen that doesn't credit others. Btw, in case somebody addresses this: The center talk is on the art because to be fair, there are not note-worthy reprints that were previously expensive or too hard to find, so it's more or less all that's left to talk about. Even as a pure nostalgia thing it's not good because of all the random cards it has like Horus. They have so much stuff to bring to IRL from those times like the Legendary Dragons, other Orichalcos cards, and Dark Renewal, but they waste such a release on filler that was common to begin with.
