Well these... Suck...

 

I guess dark hope can increase the atk of that one winmore r10... I guess?

[Hallohallo]

Ugh I wanted Flame Swordsman to be a cool Fusion retrain, but of course it just had to be a Link Monster.

 

And why did they release Starving Venemy's evolution before the actual card?

 

They are not even trying to make Speedroid Pendulums good.

Why is the Kuriboh one bad?

Searching it off P-Pal magician isn't half bad

[Thomas★Zero]

Mighty Flame Swordsman: 1 Down Arrow and 1 Side Arrow isn't too bad for a Link 2 guaranteed it gives a boost to Warriors and can float a non-Link monster from your grave where it doesn't negate effects so under the right circumstances it can be a effective card.

 

Speedroid Marble Machine: Speedroid Stratos that locks into WIND monsters isn't that bad.

 

Performapal Kuribohrder: defensive LP gain is a neat side option if your using multiple life cost cards.

 

Starving Venemy Lethal Dose Dragon: Reducing ATK with Counters and negating effects is okay for it getting around big monsters. Ideally in a DARK Dragon Pendulum Deck using Pendulum Fusion so you can get all your monsters out and then Pendulum Fusion using your Scales and a Pendulum you control to make this.

 

Number XX: Infinity Dark Hope: Basically a Xyz Goyo Guardian on Steroids but requires you to play trains at least to play this.

Okay, but why would you run or search the Kuriboh? That's only good in a casual context, though I do appreciate that Yuya finally got his kuriboh.

 

Marble Machine is decent, and the rest... yeah these kinda suck ass.

 

Starving Venemy is weird because, like Rewas, the previous form isn't even out yet.

 

I guess this means this pack will mostly be dominated by arc-v? Fine by me, but that means Dark Anthelion, Trilogyg, Starving Venemy, and more would have to be here, which is... odd. At least we don't have to fit God-Eyes or Vulgate, but where the funk is Genesis Omega Dragon going to be?

It's a searchable hand trap that can buy you a second turn in pendulums? Which given how pendulums work can turn the duel around?

if you have no link to PS with, it doesn’t matter.

 

It’s not a good handtrap, and searching it means not searching cards that further your game, which is the entire point of sorc.

Crobat is banned in TCG, limited in OCG. 

 

You're not going to run more than 1 Turtle (if any) same with 2 (or less) of Lizard Draw

 

Some decks only run Synchron and Crobat (and even that won't happen in TCG). You're not gonna get many uses out of Sorcerer at this rate. And no, games don't end on T1, you'll get to PS 3-4 times minimum 

 

If they get through your set up, which is the trap and a negator or two, they can otk you. Not sure why searching a battle hand trap that will get you to the next turn is so controversial 

[Guest BGMCANN0N]

Speedroid Marble Machine's Pendulum effect actually helps out the bad "Goblin" archetype more than its own archetype... Funny.

[The Highlander]

Speedroid Marble Machine's Pendulum effect actually helps out the bad "Goblin" archetype more than its own archetype... Funny.

Nah, Goblins are still unplayable, while this card as a "Stratos" for Speedroids helps them.

It is just that its archtype has no usage for the Pendulum tag (btw where is my damn level3 Wind Pendulum Magician to access Clear Wing Fast Dragon ?).

Speedroid 5 6 Plane sadly cannot be searched and summoned at once, without Tatetonborg.

Though the most dissapointing aspect is the fact that this Level 2 Pendulum only triggers upon Normal Summon ... they really seem to hate Speedroids as a Pendulum archtype.

 

The Fusion Pendulum ****s, honestly it should either have an actual effect, be quick play on its negation or require only 2 monsters, as it is it is propably unusable.

I'm gonna run battle fader in spyrals because you can search it with where arf thou

[goodfusion]

Speedroid Marble Machine seems possibly good in roids if we get a usable high scale to go with it. Pendulum Summoning in roids is cool as it works really well with Expressroid, similar to Ambulanceroid but without having to actually summon Ambulanceroid first.

The Pendulum effect of Marble Machine actually looks quite useful. The monster effect is usable, but too restrictive to be really good (in the context of roids).

 

As for Performapal Kuribohrder, it's really really cute. I love battle-stoppers, but the problem with it is that I'd rather play something that gets me something to go with it, like Speedroid Menko or Juragedo, or is more assuredly going to stop me losing, like Battle Fader. Best case scenario you get to save your monster from being destroyed by battle and gain a few thousand LP, which is cool but there's lots of cards that can do that.

"I'll take sheet comparisons for 800 Alex"

"I'll take sheet comparisons for 800 Alex"

 

I'll take defending bad cards for situational reasons for 800. The only thing this card has is that it's art is adorable

Your comparison is going out of your way to search the wrong level one when chances are you could really use getting drones or QF

 

Mine was getting a battle hand trap from an already limited search pool to keep one of your best cards in the deck live

 

But sure the Battle Phase is situational

>ppal

>limited

 

There’s like more than 50 targets and a ton of those are good techs, what are you talking about?

[Mr. Best Male 2008]

>Playing cards in case you brick so you don't die thus increasing chances of you bricking

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

>ppal>limitedThere’s like more than 50 targets and a ton of those are good techs, what are you talking about?

That's like saying there's a LOT of hero options (when only 6-8 are good)

 

There's 5 ppals tops you'd run in pen mag

 

crobat (limited/banned$

Turtle (0-1 of)

Lizard (0-2 of)

Synchron (one of)

 

When borrelsword can drop on your ass at any time, a searchable handtrap isn't awful

>Playing cards in case you brick so you don't die thus increasing chances of you bricking

That's not what I said, try again

[Blake]

There's 5 tips you'd run in pen mag

Turtle (0-1 of)

Synchron (one of)

 

When borrelsword can drop on your ass at any time, a searchable handtrap isn't awful

That isn’t the argument I made, and it’s incredibly narrowminded.

 

Cards like Seal Eel aren’t even bad, and there are others of the sort that can merit running a tech copy, which would fill the same slot as this card... but would also be Pendulums, instead of non-pendulum

Handtrap.

 

Turtle and Lizardraw isn’t even outstanding anymore. It’s an antiquated engine that people cling to, which is a big part of why I don’t think Sorc is a generically good card, on top of the fact that you want his effect to go off pre-PS to maximize value, not post... which isn’t possible outside of techs that aren’t outstanding OR Chronograph.

 

You want to run a card in the hopes that you proc it as late as possible in order to search a handtrap that maybe saves you from Borrelsword, just as the Battle Fader example does (which, where arf thou has fewer good generic targets for its decktypes than Sorc does, which was the point), instead of just running cards that do things.

 

Performapals heavily lean to techs, and just reading the cards shows this. It fell off as techning did, and that’s when Sorc started to weaken, as well. And this doesn’t fit in the engine or the deck.
