Yay!
I’m super happy they added these cards! Performages desperately needed them. I hope they keep this up and add the rest of the cards for this archetype!
They erased Wing Sandwichman and String Figure’s use. And made Shadow mill a Mage to search. What the heck
String Figure hasn’t been made redundant, since Water Dancer can easily be Ash Blossom’d and so a monster that Fuses without Poly is still useful. Not to mention it’s still a hand-trap that can block an opponent’s direct attack which can save you the game when in dire straits.
Wing Sandwichman might have a point if, and this is a big if, Konami introduces a Rank 6 Performage. It has a strange effect of increasing its Level by 1 despite it already being Level 5, and it also needs another Wing Sandwitchman on field to increase the other monsters’s Levels to its Level. So if it can summon another Sandwitchman during the Main Phase on HOPT, and both have a soft OPT effect of boosting its Level, the Deck might get access to the Rank 6 toolbox.
String Figure is better than Polymerization but it is a reference to how these ARC-V Fusion archetypes support that card specifically. Melodious, Frightfur, and Performapal have Polymerization support so it’s only fitting Performage does too, even if it should be made redundant by now.
PLUSHFIRE IS GETTING FREED MY GOAT IS COMING BACK GIMPED BUT NOT OUT 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
All of these cards got buffed especially Shadow Maker.
I love that the Pendulums can target it so it can detach even more material and spam the field.
Magical Force is going to be interesting for Masquerade.
Yes I was just thinking masquerade finna go crazy
Sucks that we never got that one Superheavy Samurai synchro that summons every monster from your hand. Hopefully we’ll get Spirit Force next year.
“Spirit Tech Force”.
Spirit Force, Wind Star, or Beastborg.
We didn’t get the two other Samurais from that duel either – Heavystrong and Hexagon.
Also those 3 Blackwing synchros used in the Gong duel.
The last slots are now 5 and 13.
So we’re either getting a new DM, GX or 5Ds card.
poor 5d’s only got 1 or maybe 2 card.
Maybe the last card will be Spirit Mask. The last card from the Ancient Treasure deck.
What one off anime deck could they print I wonder
The only Rank 5 Spellcasters that exist prior to this are Empress of Prophecy and C104. Guess I’m playing Seventh Ascension in Performage.
Hope the hunting hound fusion’s will be printed soon, but these performage cards do look interesting.
That sucks. I was really hoping the Performages wouldn’t be here except for the one on the cover. Performages could come out any time. Melodious gets screwed over once again. And no AG hounds.
cope and seethe
Melodious just got support. And their last remaining anime only holdouts are two mediocre Trap Cards and an Equip Spell. (Plus most of their anime cards have a nasty habit of having their effects completely changed in real life, which goes against the point of this pack keeping the anime effects intact.)
Melodious? Do you mean the one that got a bunch of new cards not long ago, some of which are actually meta-relevant? That Melodious?
You’d think that after getting strong support, Melodious fans would stop whining when they don’t get more support. Melodious needs to back into the dumpster where it belongs.
Imagine getting so many supports for your favorite deck, yet the deck is still lame and unplayable in today’s format, and one mf in chat keeps whining about wanting more supports for it.
“lame and unplayable in today’s format”
Hey hey hey, it’s supposed to be one cope-and-seether per thread. The Melodious fan’s already being cartoonishly greedy, no need to try and out-goofy them.
@umbire
I was talking about Ancient Gear fans you uncultured weebs! Cope
who allowed you to speak ?
legit melodius got broken scales while my poor mages got a freaking “change to defense” or “change to attack” position, and you DARE to speak ?
i hate konami legit …
Well, nice to see some goodness to add to the Performage archetype. Especially since it’s been SO LONG since Konami tried to do anything with them.
some of these are anime cards so it’s no surprise that we go them (like shadow maker)
(the anime is arc-v in case you didn’t know)
Hoping the rest of perfomage cards in Premium Pack 2025.
Rank up spell could work for Masquerade and Umbral horror masquerade
Plus High Trapeze Magician got a burn gimmick
why did they add no knew burn cards whats with this attack manipulation shananigans
Because the anime dumped the damage effect strategy after Season 1.
It’s odd how Rank-Up-Magic Magical Force only brings back a rank 4
It’s probably because they wanted it to be more restricted for its own deck
only 30 new cards from a set? that really bad for konami. I was expecting more support for ancient gears…
And what’s worse 5ds is only going to get 1 maybe 2 new cards.
I think ancient gear has enough support. They already had really strong cards before the support. Atleast now we dont brick a lot and can make 2-3 fusion in one turn
Is there a specific pack for manga cards?
Usually Collectors Packs (now rebranded to Animation Chronicles as of 2021) had 40-50 new cards in them, and the earlier versions of these sets also contained manga cards and game original Numbers.
As of last year, this pack only has 29 new cards, 1 new alt artwork of a legacy anime card, and 30 reprints. So it’s not even 30 new cards in here. It’s 29.
At least the reprints are tied to recent and upcoming product releases, as well as the themes in here. Also because of this pack we technically got erratas of the Allure Queens and Plushfire.
I too enjoyed the good old days when this pack has 45 new cards and 5 reprints, but Konami is thinking about making every product profitable by having more reprints of meta relevant cards than to include anime jank nobody will use.
Finally the Performage cards are revealed! Glad for all the buffs they got, and I’m happily surprised that they printed Shadow Maker, and even more surprised they errata’d Plushfire, meaning it’ll soon be let out of card jail. I do wish we got a few burn-related effects (give Flame Eater more reasons to special summon itself, plus Trick Clown never self damaged in the show so they could have added more here), but at least Trapeze High redirects our damage to the opponent, so that’s cool (Trick Clown’s special summon can KO my opponent instead of me now). With Fire Dancer, Wind Juggler’s pendulum effect, and the soon to be freed Plushfire, we’ll have more high scales and won’t have to outsource. I’ll finally have enough cards to run pure! I’m overall looking very forward to these cards when they get released, especially in the TCG. Hopefully it won’t take another decade for String Figure, Filmsy Slimmer, and some of the others to be released, but I’m good for a long while.
Now try making a deck with this and ancient gear. Like what he did in the anime
Strange nerf for Witch that is easily missable on first glance. Justice for Perfomachines and Glacial Beasts! Also ban english
I was thinking about Astral Force but there are currently no RK3 DARK spellcasters, humph. Surprised String Figure and Waifu Tactician didn’t make the cut but when there are 1000 unreleased performages of entertainment 9 slots go by in a flash. Then you have those 2 mages whose effects are largely covered up by Dennis’ finger.
you could always Astral Force Shadow Maker into Big Eye if you wanted to.
Omg, my childhood days are coming back when i was playing those in my custom power of choas format.
I like how the site is formatted to shift to the left-hand side of the screen whenever it detects adblock, lol. Forcing discomfort to make adblock unusable, genius actually.
in all honesty, they deserve support, guys has been doing a perfect job since ever
best translation comes from him and if there is any kind of error he would notify us
so, he deserves love if im honest
god the pendulumn card border majes me puke so ugly
Sadly all of these will most likely lose to Snake eyes because that deck is ridiculous.
no idea why people are happy about plush’s errata, the card LEGIT can come back at 1 without an errata …. look at astograph, what is it achieving at one exactly ?
what a shame, support is good but was never gonna brick the card (i know it was going to be splashed)
the real scary stuff is the rank 5 honestly, they are what will be abuse, my question tho, can PePe be ressurecte ? I will cook honestly
as for performage, they need, desperately a link 2 for that lvl 5 that SS itself. I am calling it right now, we will get a link 2 one of these days.
Finally we got all these anime cards! Was really missing shadow maker, always seemed like such a cool card when Dennis used it (sucked that he just turned into another ancient gear idiot later in the show)
Konami how many years until you print the rest? Performage Bonus Dealer, Magical Pendulum Box…
Any support for Empress of Prophecy is my jam. It’s interesting how some performage anime art was high quality enough to suggest they were planned to be released while arc v was still running. Of course then they became perona non grata.
Cool! I love Performages. Was really hoping for Ball Balancer, but oh well.
Forget Ball Balancer, I want Bonus Dealer. Draw 2 for Pen Summoning 3 from hand, plz!?
HARPIES WHEN
lunalight support just around the corner.. believe it.
Was hoping they would release xyz zarc so we could figure out the reason why lightwurm modulation effect exists when its not even needed to do so in order to summon clear wing
