      Yay!

      • Pleasant Gross on June 10, 2024 12:33 am

        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!

    2. Samurex on June 9, 2024 11:57 pm

      They erased Wing Sandwichman and String Figure’s use. And made Shadow mill a Mage to search. What the heck

      • Jay on June 10, 2024 7:57 am

        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.

      • N on June 10, 2024 2:19 pm

        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.

    3. MCDONALDS on June 10, 2024 12:00 am

      PLUSHFIRE IS GETTING FREED MY GOAT IS COMING BACK GIMPED BUT NOT OUT 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    4. N on June 10, 2024 12:00 am

      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.

      • Courtney on June 10, 2024 10:26 am

        Yes I was just thinking masquerade finna go crazy

    5. Justin Jones on June 10, 2024 12:02 am

      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.

      • Justin Jones on June 10, 2024 12:06 am

        “Spirit Tech Force”.

      • Samurex on June 10, 2024 12:07 am

        Spirit Force, Wind Star, or Beastborg.

      • N on June 10, 2024 12:09 am

        We didn’t get the two other Samurais from that duel either – Heavystrong and Hexagon.

      • Justin Jones on June 10, 2024 12:15 am

        Also those 3 Blackwing synchros used in the Gong duel.

    6. Justin Jones on June 10, 2024 12:05 am

      The last slots are now 5 and 13.
      So we’re either getting a new DM, GX or 5Ds card.

      • Rex on June 10, 2024 12:10 am

        poor 5d’s only got 1 or maybe 2 card.

      • Justin Jones on June 10, 2024 1:41 am

        Maybe the last card will be Spirit Mask. The last card from the Ancient Treasure deck.

      • Unodostres on June 10, 2024 5:11 am

        What one off anime deck could they print I wonder

    7. HeemSleepy on June 10, 2024 12:07 am

      The only Rank 5 Spellcasters that exist prior to this are Empress of Prophecy and C104. Guess I’m playing Seventh Ascension in Performage.

    8. Mac-Len on June 10, 2024 12:25 am

      Hope the hunting hound fusion’s will be printed soon, but these performage cards do look interesting.

    9. ScionStorm on June 10, 2024 12:26 am

      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.

      • Showtime on June 10, 2024 12:31 am

        cope and seethe

      • N on June 10, 2024 12:50 am

        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.)

      • HFIL on June 10, 2024 12:54 am

        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?

      • Thatguyman on June 10, 2024 1:32 am

        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.

      • Longyuan22 on June 10, 2024 2:28 am

        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.

      • Umbire on June 10, 2024 5:27 am

        “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.

      • Longyuan22 on June 10, 2024 7:06 am

        @umbire
        I was talking about Ancient Gear fans you uncultured weebs! Cope

      • Otangaku D Yokeman on June 10, 2024 8:33 am

        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 …

    10. Bryon on June 10, 2024 12:30 am

      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.

      • 9 on June 10, 2024 1:16 pm

        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)

    11. Dragonmaid on June 10, 2024 12:45 am

      Hoping the rest of perfomage cards in Premium Pack 2025.

    12. HunterHQ on June 10, 2024 1:18 am

      Rank up spell could work for Masquerade and Umbral horror masquerade

      • Kadron on June 10, 2024 2:59 am

        Plus High Trapeze Magician got a burn gimmick

    13. pranked on June 10, 2024 2:20 am

      why did they add no knew burn cards whats with this attack manipulation shananigans

      • NeoArkadia on June 10, 2024 2:37 am

        Because the anime dumped the damage effect strategy after Season 1.

    14. Venom9999 on June 10, 2024 3:01 am

      It’s odd how Rank-Up-Magic Magical Force only brings back a rank 4

      • Fusion on June 10, 2024 9:53 am

        It’s probably because they wanted it to be more restricted for its own deck

    15. Why on June 10, 2024 3:07 am

      only 30 new cards from a set? that really bad for konami. I was expecting more support for ancient gears…

      • Justin Jones on June 10, 2024 3:12 am

        And what’s worse 5ds is only going to get 1 maybe 2 new cards.

      • LucaZERO on June 10, 2024 4:27 am

        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

      • HunterHQ on June 10, 2024 8:53 am

        Is there a specific pack for manga cards?

      • N on June 10, 2024 2:28 pm

        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.

    16. UFO Turtle on June 10, 2024 3:17 am

      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.

    17. LucaZERO on June 10, 2024 4:24 am

      Now try making a deck with this and ancient gear. Like what he did in the anime

    18. ... on June 10, 2024 5:04 am

      Strange nerf for Witch that is easily missable on first glance. Justice for Perfomachines and Glacial Beasts! Also ban english

    19. thebaseddd2 on June 10, 2024 5:34 am

      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.

      • morphine jar on June 10, 2024 8:11 am

        you could always Astral Force Shadow Maker into Big Eye if you wanted to.

    20. HEYCREATURE on June 10, 2024 6:19 am

      Omg, my childhood days are coming back when i was playing those in my custom power of choas format.

    21. The Dark One Cometh on June 10, 2024 6:33 am

      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.

      • Otangaku D Yokeman on June 10, 2024 8:38 am

        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

    22. Flooberboy on June 10, 2024 6:57 am

      god the pendulumn card border majes me puke so ugly

    23. Superbar on June 10, 2024 7:49 am

      Sadly all of these will most likely lose to Snake eyes because that deck is ridiculous.

    24. Otangaku D Yokeman on June 10, 2024 8:40 am

      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.

    25. 9 on June 10, 2024 1:17 pm

      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)

    26. a on June 10, 2024 1:42 pm

      Konami how many years until you print the rest? Performage Bonus Dealer, Magical Pendulum Box…

    27. thebaseddd2 on June 10, 2024 3:28 pm

      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.

    28. Pot the Trick on June 10, 2024 5:26 pm

      Cool! I love Performages. Was really hoping for Ball Balancer, but oh well.

      • Overpoweringly Based on June 11, 2024 11:44 am

        Forget Ball Balancer, I want Bonus Dealer. Draw 2 for Pen Summoning 3 from hand, plz!?

    29. Dudka Khadir on June 10, 2024 9:22 pm

      HARPIES WHEN

    30. Trunks Strife on June 10, 2024 9:54 pm

      lunalight support just around the corner.. believe it.

    31. Itsrover on June 11, 2024 3:12 am

      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
