There are a few paths this may be taking
1. Anime monsters(As Demise was a character in GX)
2. Meta cards
3. The first of each mechanic to feel the banlist
If it’s the third one, then a Goyo Guardian and a Shockmaster retrain would be interesting to say the least.
considering the name and art on the box, it’s definitely your third option
Then a Performage Plushfire and Firewall Dragon retrained.
Mitsurugi may have got hit but them dropping that demise card made that deck 5 times more consistent
Most likely the 3rd option, then it’s going to be retrains for
Synchro : Dark Strike Fighter
XYZ : Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity
Pendulum: Performage Plushfire
Link : Summon Sorceress
Effect : there are 4 of them. Chaos Emperor Dragon, Sangan, Witch of the Black Forest, and Yatagarasu (most likely Sangan/Witch cause Sanwitch got a reprint)
Wait a sec. Is demise ever got hit in the past
Give us a Chaos version of Number 11 Big Eye.
Got to say loving the box art.
So did Demise run Ruin’s pockets?
They’re the same person.
Finally!!! I have been waiting for Demise and Ruin cards for so long! Hopefully they make Garlandolf and Northwemko retrains as well
What???? The same person?
Master Duel literally explains this. Demise and Ruin are two halves of an eschatological entity that ends worlds. Ruin resets worlds giving them chances to find a better solution, and if those worlds cannot find an answer to escape what caused them to barrel towards doomsday, Ruin is replaced by Demise who ends a world permanently.
“The End of the World Ruler” is probably some unrestrained absolute authority mode.
whoa! my budget is safe, thought they will choose from the Ultimate Special Pack when they announce it
End of the World cards? Now where is this going..
So a better than ROTA for Ritual Spells and a new target for Instant Fusion?
I LOVE IT!!! <3
Ruler is amazing.
Restrict is a decent form of removal especially on Super Poly.
I guess that Nightmare•Magician belong to Pegasus aces
1) I believe somebody had complained about the Illusion monsters being based on the non-toon cards Max Pegasus played, and that they hadn’t been released as Illusion monster… well…
2) with this, does that mean, at least for now, Nightmare itself can be marked as a Series, if not an upcoming full archetype?
Wasn’t complaining, but that was me the other day ago. Haha! Anyways, This is a great start! I also hope that other person who replied to me last time who wanted a Psychic type Jinzo will get their wish fulfilled next.
Ruler ate his wife aw hell naw
@Crispy
Phrasing
@Gin Juichi kinky
A shame Ruler’s Level 10. Would’ve been nice to use Advanced Ritual Art with two Insect Knights again.
That’d make original Demise fully outclassed, which isn’t wise card design.
Xer looks pretty cool
demise is ACTUALLY bonkers
card is legit ban material
eyes restrict is wholesome and so happy its illusion as if it was up to me i would from now on release all cards that are related to pegasus as illusions (the eyes restrict only obviously)
How so? All I see is decent Ritual Support digused as a brick in your Ritual Decks, since summoning this will require you to run the Impcantations w/Ritual Spell or the End of World Spells, which suck. Most Ritual Decks can’t really recycle their Spells, there are some ofc.
Nah that card is mid, it’s basically just Chalislime 2.0 that doesn’t need a discard and probably won’t see any play unless they release a ritual deck that specifically works well with that kind of effect which none of the current good ritual decks do.
@Windzy
Could be a problem if more decks that ritual or tribute from deck come along.
“How so? All I see is decent Ritual Support digused as a brick in your Ritual Decks, since summoning this will require you to run the Impcantations w/Ritual Spell or the End of World Spells, which suck. Most Ritual Decks can’t really recycle their Spells, there are some ofc.”
I don’t think you even need to summon it? By revealing it from your hand it can become any Ritual Spell from your deck, and you can just tribute it for the Ritual Summon you are doing. Since it is high level, it will just be the Spell AND the Tribute and for any Ritual Monster under level 10 basically…
Demise itself doesnt need banned, but with it coming out it does mean they need to ban Magician of Black Chaos Maxx. Otherwise you can use demise to banish high ritual art and summon maxx from deck, then keep looping it with dyna mondo.
@Luna No need to ban Maxx either since Demise is not quick effect and Maxx would not affect opponent’s turn.
Maxx is still a problem, you use demise on your turn to summon it, then you just keep looping it through your opponents turns thanks to dyna mondo to keep your opponent locked out of the game. Even if you go second you opponent only has 1 turn to do anything before they cant play at all
Whoa! I just the other day talked about the fact I was still waiting for them to remake Pegasus non-toon cards into illusion monsters! Funny timing. Anyways, it looks like a great card, which is really nice to see!
@Concerned citizen.
It at least is a two card combo when paired with any of the mitsurugi rituals. May not be much, but even so, as you we don’t know the future.
If you equip Detonating Kuriboh to your opponent’s Nightmare-Eyes Restrict it will negate the effects and let MoBC destroy it in battle.
Now if we could finally just get a proper MoBC ritual retrain…
What are those symbols ?
The 6 different summoning types.
Ritual – The torches in early Ritual Spell artwork and anime Ritual Summons
Fusion – Two monsters swirling like in every Fusion card’s artwork
Synchro – Tuner rings with the Level stars in the middle
Xyz – Overlay units (Xyz material) in the anime
Pendulum – A pendulum with a green line below to indicate movement
Link – The Link circuit present in anime Link summons
this is way to broken especially with mitsurugi. if your habakiri gets negated you can just pay 2k and banish the mitsurugi ritual. Or in blue eyes you can pay 2k use high ritual art and bring out magician of black chaos max stop nib and hand traps and lock your opponent out from monster effects if you use dyna mondo. and then bring out magia
So we are getting:
Goyo Guardian Retrain
Lavalval Chain retrain
And Firewall Dragon Retrain?
With how many broken cards of each mechanic that were on the Forbidden or Limited List, anything that stayed for a while can make it in.
Dark Strike Fighter
Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity
Performage Plushfire
And Summon Sorceress are more accurate
Come on, why does the eyes restrict snatch effect has to be once per turn
Wake up babe, new super poly target just dropped.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
i have been waiting for the Relinquished support since they made the illusion type… and this is what they have done? …sheeesh.
i am so sad right now. this game hates me and all the archetypes that i love.
I think I preferred it when Restrict had just the Pegasus Reference retrain.
Just seemed like a justified use of nostalgia.
Lmao what i dreamed of became real now 😭😂
I want a new restrict eyes fusion with illusion type. Now i can confidently bring my relinquished deck to local!
