evilfusion Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 See? Good prize cards. Cards that are completely useless in the competitive game, and only available via prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodfusion Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Nice artwork. Just wondering, if they are for the World Championship, why are they in English? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armoire Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 The designs are superb. It fits the location and its theme really well. They really want you to know that it is occurring in Japan, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 The art on the world championship cards are usually quite good, and yeah I do agree with evilfusion about these being good prize cards because they're useless in the meta.

Toffee. Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I seriously how amazing the artworks for these sorts of cards always are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maeriberii Haan Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Kuzunoha looks badass as hell. It's a real pity that these can't be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexanort Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 and i thought we'll finally get generic scale 10 pendulum.....why cant they change the rules so that player that surrender in a match duel loses an entire match so the match winners can be usable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miror B Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Now we can finally go back to complaining about how all the good art cards are made to be unusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I agree with evilfusion and British; these two are good examples of prize cards (collector value / Match Winners that can't do anything much nowadays) and not like the stuff YCS decides to do [turn good promo cards in Japan into hard as hell cards to get in English w/out shelling out tons of bucks or winning tournaments]. Both of them have cool artwork, that much is certain.Too bad they belong on cards that can never be used realistically and are essentially there to be trophies. Although we got Legendary Dark Magician + Blue-Eyes in Superstars, so suppose the others will also come out eventually. Nice artwork. Just wondering, if they are for the World Championship, why are they in English?If memory serves me properly, all of them were made in English from the beginning.Probably because they don't want to make separate language reprints for all countries who participate in these, however I may be wrong about it. @lightdiversion: We'll probably get generic scale 10s eventually, but when that'll happen is another story.Don't think Konami will ever print the Pendulum Statues though; those are as close as we're getting to generic Scale 9+ Pendulums right now. We eventually got an 8 in Dragonpit, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 and i thought we'll finally get generic scale 10 pendulum.....why cant they change the rules so that player that surrender in a match duel loses an entire match so the match winners can be usableWhat does that have to do with the legality of match winners? They are illegal because they are terrible design. Also, such a ruling change would honestly be really stupid. There is nothing wrong with giving up a game you know you are going to lose so as to move on the the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleOnceCalledGod Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Sakyo needs more laser blades. Other than that, 11/10 design, Konami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog King Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 exactly what prize cards shouldnt be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 See? Good prize cards. Cards that are completely useless in the competitive game, and only available via prize.Yeah, it reminds me of how pokemon does they're prize/promo stuff. It's usually just really shiny and really gimmicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog King Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 See? Good prize cards. Cards that are completely useless in the competitive game, and only available via prize.no bad prize cards, no competative player will get motovated to win this trash,so after beating over 1000 people in ygoh you wanna receive something that you cant use and all you can do is sell? the best prize cards should be rarity bumps of specific cards such as Ulimate Rare/Secret Rare or even Ghost Rarw of good usable cards which dont exist in those raritysanother option is to get exlusives card art of good stuff which you can use in duels,Another good example imo was Dark End Dragon, it wasnt overpowered but it wasnt bad either, cards like CCV were just stupid and the Darksouls were trash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 another option is to get exlusives card art of good stuff which you can use in duels,This is probably the best idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of the Abyss Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 This is probably the best idea.It isn't too far fetched either! The OCG used to do this back in the day. Before it was a thing in the TCG, tournament prizes were alternate arts. Stuff like Kuriboh, Red Eyes, Summoned Skull, and Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon all got really well done alternate arts that were given as prizes! I could see them doing that again for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
