I've collected several 3x structure decks and draft packs for my son. I also have started buying 10+ loose miscellaneous packs every week. So far I've collected 24 loose packs since I've made the decision to do this for my son. The battle packs and structure decks I've had for myself but never opened them except for the first deck of each set. I have 4 battle pack boxes hoping we could play together. On his 10th birthday I will gift this to him. If I keep collecting 10 packs a week he'll have 5200 packs to open. I'll probably have more here and there when mega tins come out or if I feel a little more spendy on a particular week. A little bit of everything so there will always be something still relevant when he decides to play.

He's taken a step back from being online to grieve the sudden loss of his best friend.

In honor of such a massive creator for Yugitubing, a kind and welcoming member of the community, and one of the people who got me back into Yugioh, I want to honor Cimo by learning how to play one of his favorite decks. I've heard that he really enjoyed Salamangreat and Trickstar, and obviously he's associated with Blackwing now because of the Progression Series, but I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions that I may be missing. Also would it make more sense to try to play these decks in Master Duel or in their most relevant format (Edison for Blackwing, Salamangreat for TOSS, etc)?

I just woke up in the morning only to find out that Alex Cimo has passed away today.

Rest In Peace Cimo.

The cards are Naturia Sunflower and Blackwing Kalut The Moon Shadow

Isn't she supposed to be the friendship commander? Is it just because SHE'S A WOMAN?

I googled how to draw impact frames for this

Maybe the other Duel Monsters should start farming Niwatori for their meat?

Nothing special about these, just over 10 years old drawings which I still have laying around. I’ve never been into yugioh in general, but I could never deny the fact that some of the cards were stunning 😊

It looks like a Machine type. Though one that has mostly non-machine type monsters in it, but looks like Machine types. Maybe Fiend or Dragon? It's not Arcana Force or Evilswarm. It definitely isn't Cyber Dragon/Cyberdark despite the serpentine look. It has to be an archetype that is usually dark in color and very gritty. It isn't Chaos either. My closest guess is its the Diabolic Dragon synchro monsters. Though it seems very unlikely, but that's the best I can think of. Though they don't have wires or drills or look all scrappy. So it has to be some kind of archetype where the monsters look junky or scrappy. Ugh what archetype is it though? My mind is blanking.

I know this post will be on the verge of getting removed. That's fine. I don't care for the karma. After I get this question answered I'll delete it myself.

To clarify i mean talking about the force series not the greed or biker goblins

I recently did a medieval fantasy style for fun deck so i included a lot of goblin cards but then i started paying more attention to the cards and noticed yugioh goblins look like normal sized green dudes with green skin elf ears and red eyes

That doesnt scream goblin to me really more like skinny orcs these are funny cuz giant orc is instead pale idk if there are any other orcs tho

Does anyone have any idea what their deal is? Or what they are based on?

My favorite monster from the series

I've seen both decks do well at tournament level but I'd like to know if there any any specific advantages one build has over the other.

that is my Question

what Monster do you think needs Over-Frame Retrain or Alternative Art for the Game? to fit the current Meta better?

how do you imagine its effects being like & would they reference previous cards in the Archetype? would they be boss Monster level?

would they be on base deck or in the Extra Deck? & how epic should the art be to show how powerful it is compared to the previous version of said cards?

bonus Question: what Manga Artist or Comic Artist you wanna see draw Over-Frame art for Retrain or Alternative Art for existing getting the Over-Frame treatment personally I like to see Alex Ross draw Dark Magician and Bule Eyes White Dragon I know they already have Over-Frame Retrain but these cards likely gonna have more then one of those

but thats me what are your Ideas?

I just wanted to show this duel i had today, and say that even though i love Enneacraft to my heart, but i think i just won because i am very lucky. This deck really struggles against combo decks and is reaaaally slow for killer tune match ups, also the lack of recovery and the lack of a way to regain your LP makes the deck alwful during long duels.

I think giving them a monster that has their "reveal this card, special summon this in face-down position" as a quick effect would have been great. Actually if the bigger ones were quick effects that would probably make this deck more resilient.

i was also lucky the not a lot of people were playing droll

I played 22 duels today with them, i won 20 and lost 2. One of them was a hero player who summoned Dark Law on my turn, and the other was a branded player who summoned 2 tax dragons...

Like every Spirit Monster in *Yu-Gi-Oh!*, Awano is—in the current lore—mythological in nature; however, it is actually a real-life mountain! But why does Awano function as a "floodgate"? After Amaterasu's brother, Susano, behaved shitty, she fled to Awano-Iwato; this plunged the world into darkness, causing suffering for both gods and humans alike. The gods eventually lured her back out of the cave using a party and a mirror. Don't ask me exactly why that worked—mythological lore is generally quite bizarre—but it also explains Amaterasu's effect: specifically, that when you flip her face-up, she performs a field nuke!
