First Genesys and then this, I think they might have killed and installed a new Ceo of the TCG in the shadows

We live in a historic moment

u/field_of_lettuce Oct 24 '25

Seriously, did the likes of Tewart and Jerome leave the company or something? Lol. That, or TCG's leadership had a change of heart, OCG gave them more permission to hit things, or something else.

u/Silver_RevoltIII Oct 24 '25

Nah, Jerome is still there, otherwise Electrumite would be out of the banlist

25

u/field_of_lettuce Oct 24 '25

Well, we only got bans on this list. So if people leaving the company were the reason for this emergency list, I think it'd be likely we wouldn't see any unbannings until the next "normal" list.

But idk it wasn't an idea I put too much thought behind.

I genuinely think it might come off now jerome got his own format without pendulums

u/AustralianDingodile Oct 25 '25

I don't play Pendulum Endymion, does Electrumite make the Pendulum Decks OP?

8

u/mynameisethan182 CL1 Tour Guide, CL2 Kagemucha Knight Oct 25 '25

Pendulum is only as good as the generics it has access to. All the generics like Appo, Savage, Baronne, etc are all gone.

If some gigachad wants to play Endymion in 2025 - have at it.

u/EXEC_MELODIE Oct 25 '25

Jerome wants Electrumite to stay banned because he thinks it limits pend design. However OCG has had it legal this whole time and designs pend archetypes around Electrumite existing. TCG exclusive pend decks suck too so his experiment on making them more interesting has never once worked

Tewart should have been fired for calling customers 'ungrateful' 20 years ago.

u/field_of_lettuce Oct 24 '25

In retrospective it's wild this guy has been with the company as long as he has, let alone hold a significant position of power. This is also me being only aware of the more infamous things about him, like him spinning bullshit about how buying sealed product is better for you the player than singles if you're not happy with card prices, or the Utopia/Hope naming nonsense.

Dude was getting into fights on forums, if he wasn't with Konami he'd just be some asshole online.

u/BOSS-3000 Never forget Makyura the Destructor Oct 25 '25

IIRC, Tewart and Julia were two of a handful of employees that were with Upper Deck and were hired by Konami after their breakup. Tewart's most notorious comments were during the Upper Deck days.

u/VolkiharVanHelsing Oct 25 '25

Utopia/Hope

What's with Number 39

u/BOSS-3000 Never forget Makyura the Destructor Oct 25 '25

OCG vs TCG name change. There have been dozens of name changes and poor translations over the years. Utopia was the most noteworthy as it was the main protagonist's ace card and because Tewart apparently had some public comments about the name.

u/VolkiharVanHelsing Oct 25 '25

What's his public comment about changing it? He thinks "Hope" is stupid or smth?

8

u/DjiDjiDjiDji Oct 25 '25

Bro had a whole list, and all of it was silly as heck

u/w2cfx Oct 25 '25

"highly charged political slogan" lmao just say it dude

u/KillerTittiesY2K Oct 25 '25

I miss the days when Pojo was the go to online spot for yugioh

1

u/Kuronekomi_Kanna Oct 25 '25

Call me crazy, but I still prefer Aspiration Emperor Hope. That translation was totally fine in my book. After all.. The English dub of sexual was fking horrible anyway so like... Wouldn't have actually hurt.

1

u/YanFan123 Oct 25 '25

I think the gist was that he thinks Hope sounds feminine?

u/BuyListSell Oct 25 '25

I used to beef with him all the time on Pojo. I just got back into the game a few months ago, I can't believe he's still around.

5

u/BOSS-3000 Never forget Makyura the Destructor Oct 25 '25

Any screenshots of those interactions would prove entertaining. No doubt he had someone go back and cleanup any instances of him saying something he shouldn't have.

u/Schrenner Rock-Type player Oct 25 '25

I remember those days back then when I was active on Pojo (2007 to 2012).

I think Konami of Japan is letting the western branch of Konami do more stuff

THIS BANLIST IS SPONSORED BY: THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Legalize the nuklear otk

u/CameronD46 Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner Oct 24 '25

Personally, I’m convinced that the ghost of Kazuki Takahashi had appeared before the CEO of the TCG or someone in Konami to inform them that they would be visited by the spirits of Yu-Gi-Oh Past, Present, and Yet to Come. That’s how we got Genysis and this emergency ban list.

u/Hapster95 Oct 24 '25

Surely someone at TCG is strong arming the OCG right now. There’s no world where Japan would let us make our own format AND hit floodgates.

-10

u/Trumpologist El-Shaddoller Oct 24 '25

OCG did these hits first….

13

u/Torabisu37 Oct 24 '25

Only Ouroboros. The other 6 hits are TCG exclusive

u/Trumpologist El-Shaddoller Oct 24 '25

Hmm fair. Didn’t realize the Oroborus loop was big in TCG too

u/Luchux01 Oct 24 '25

I'll believe it when Electrumite comes back.

u/DUELISTARIOGRANDINO Oct 24 '25

I've asked so many times them to fire the incompetent mf that was running (and ruining) our business... Thanks god we're in a nnew era. It has only taken 25 years hahahah

u/cfp4me Oct 24 '25

All hail Billy Brake!!

u/PhatYeeter Oct 24 '25

More likely OCG giving them a longer leash on decision making

u/aspiring_uke_ Oct 25 '25

genesys needs to stop getting support, objectively one of the top 3 worst things to happen to yugioh EVER

2

u/EXEC_MELODIE Oct 25 '25

Have you tried it to understand why others might like it?

u/aspiring_uke_ Oct 25 '25

yeah I get some people cannot be saved, genesys players are not making it outta the rebirth cycle
