~British Soul~ Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Is that a new guy in the corner? Yes it is, that'll be the new monster that'll be introduced in the set. There'll also be one new Spell too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airride Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I seem to recall a couple of months ago someone said that Merlin was going to be in DUEA. Then why would they advertise him here? It doesn't make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Then why would they advertise him here? It doesn't make sense to me. I guess Merlin being in DUEA is a way for Konami to make a quick buck before its reprint in here? Or maybe Merlin actually isn't in DUEA and is a new card in this release. I dunno.

Armoire Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 So, Merlin is a Spell, then? ...Interesting. Merlin's probably going to be a monster, since he's shown on the playmat having an actual body. Also, it mentioned that the new cards would be Merlin, a Noble Knight, and a Spell. So if he was a spell, there would be another spell. Yes it is, that'll be the new monster that'll be introduced in the set. I bet you anything it's going to be Noble Knight Bedwyr, since it looks like he's returning a broken Excaliburn (Bedivere returned Excalibur to the Lady). I am on the hypetrain that's going to crash. Also, just to note, Merlin has a dragon on his shoulder. "Pendragon". inb4konamidragonfetishmakesdragonboss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pchi Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 From what Konami already revealed to us about Merlin, I can imagine its effect being something along these lines: During your Main Phase, if this card was Normal Summoned this turn and you control no other monsters: You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 1 "Noble Knight" monster from your Deck, except "(whatever the full name of this card will be)", and, if you do, equip 1 "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Card from your Deck to it. You cannot Special Summon any other monsters, except "Noble Knight" monsters, during the turn you activate this effect. You can only use the effect of "(ditto)" once per turn.

Armoire Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm not sure if quoting other players is looked down upon on YCM, but Masao updated us with some info: [spoiler='Masao's Information'] Masao, on 21 Jul 2014 - 9:36 PM, said: No one posts in the sub-forum so I'm starting this up here, also it pertains more to single card discussion anyway. I'll update this post from time to time when I get a chance. All spoilers/hints/rumors from Snake and KevinLewart will be added in the appropriate categories as soon as I am aware of them. Once a piece of information is officially confirmed through a Konami blog post, Jump spoiler or the like, I will remove it immediately. General Direction of the Game ● Shaddolls, Qliphoths and Noble Knights are projected by Konami to be the top meta decks for the rest of the year. ● S[a]tellarknights, Bujins and Yang Zings are projected to be solid tier 2 decks for the rest of the year. ● Shaddoll will receive the entire rainbow of Fusion Monsters. The remaining two are extremely relevant. ● By WCQ Season 2015, Yang Zings will be a high tier 2 if not tier 1 deck. Topic of the Day: Noble Knight Bedwyr, Merlin and the Unnamed NK Spell Factsheets Preface: The picture below is of KevinLewart playtesting the deck with the new support coded into his copy of YGOPRO against the TCG build of Shaddolls. His high card count in hand is due to the new support, not simple drawpass grind. Noble Knight Bedwyr ● Bedwyr is a toolbox card in the vein of Drystan/Gwalchavad. ● Interacts with Gold Sarcophagus; has some form of effect when Banished. ● Bedwyr is a 1-of in the competitive build of the deck. ● First effect is the same as Borz. "This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field. While equipped with a "Noble Arms" Equip Spell Card, this card becomes an Effect Monster with these effects." Merlin ● Merlin is to Noble Knights what Gwenhwyfar is to Noble Arms. ● Massively fixes consistency issues, one-card combo ignition. ● Merlin is a 3-of in the competitive build of the deck. Unnamed Noble Knight Spell ● Fixes consistency issues, potential one-card combo ignition. ● Touted as a speed card, allows the deck to dig fast and hard for combo pieces.[/spoiler] So, it looks like Noble Knights are going to be Tier 1, and Merlin's going to break it along with the [Unnamed] Spell Card. And we can use Golden Sarcophagus with a Noble Knight now. Also, with that information, we can assume the Spell is going to either search a Noble Arm or a Noble Knight with some other type of benefit. As for the other Noble Knight, Bedwyr (called it!), it seems like he's just an answer to certain problems that the Deck wouldn't really need. Praise Masao, really. (I'd link to his post, but I'm not sure how to do that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultravires Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 My bad I should have crossposted here as well. Oh derp I guess I'm not the OP of this one, thought I was. Basically if you want to play NKs, you're going to need 3 of the Spell and 3 of Merlin. Get that $150 ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armoire Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Leaked info on the unnamed spell card, Last Chapter of the Noble Knights. https://yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=6535Overall, it's a great card, covering the weakness of the Knights. You can recover a dead Medraut, Special Summon something, and still have a Normal Summon. All because of one card. It makes Round Table so much more relevant too, and Borz becomes even better. The ideal monster you'd summon would probably Medraut or Gwalchavad, so you can use his effect to counterattack via Gawayn -> Xyz or popping with Drystan -> Xyz/Swarm. And you'd still have a Normal Summon. It's really nice since you can swarm with the Knights and not lose Arms as often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greiga Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Level 3 DARK Spellcaster As expected At least these make me feel less bad about dropping $150. EDIT 9/13/14: Sup guys I finally edited the OP lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultravires Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Further updates in The Rumor Mill. We have a fair approximation of Bedwyr that I'll be updating with. Also, we know that everything is in the box set except for Brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 So Merlin is simply named "Merlin"? No fancy name nor anything? I find that a bit out of place, but that's just me. When I saw the thread on Merlin here in YCM its name on the card image was not visible so I was more or less expecting a better name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greiga Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I thought I updated with the "everyone is there" news . I guess not. :/ I guess I'll update when I get home then. @Voltex: yeah just Merlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armoire Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Not like it matters. Right? I mean, it only increases interaction and combos via Round Table if they were Noble Knights- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
