Heh. It's only particularly good though if you're also facing someone who uses zombie monsters. Meh.

What's with the Zombie luv? Darkness is better my friend 😛.

Now I just got to figure out what deck I'm using tomorrow...

oh yeah, that card that allows you to special summon one additional zombie monster to the field...cheap. you could get your vampire lord out in your first turn by sacrificing your special summoned monster for him.

What kind of a man likes frogs more than dragons 😛?

It's not out yet? I thought it was. He looks awesome! I wonder if they'll release Effect versions of Slifer and Ra. Well, maybe just Ra, Slifer's not as cool as the other two 😛

😂 Fair enough.

Hero Deck! I miss seeing the heroes in action.

Heros are awful. It's funny hero decks have like an inverse equation: the fewer heros in a "hero deck", the better it is.

True, but they were still fun to watch in GX imo. Of course, Jaden's hax draw ruined the coolness of most of his duels.

"Heart of the cards"=stacking

remember when yugi would pull out the only card in the entire game that could possibly get him out of a seemingly futile situation? and the cards(s) were never seen before or after he used them ever again.

heart of the cards = deus ex machina

All that pales in comparison to Jaden's Hax Draw which never failed him. Drawing the card that would let him win whenever he wanted? Combine that with PIS, and even the friendship mumbo jumbo pales.

Well, already knew from a previous thread that he didn't really like dragons, so meh.

Originally posted by Demonic Phoenix
Yep. The only thing is, I think he looks kinda funny 😂, having a tanned skin color and different colored 'clothes'. The other two Exodias have been fully black or bronze/golden.

Originally posted by Demonic Phoenix
Theoretically, he's easier to summon than Darkness, as you need any dragon (should have been Red-Eyes imo, and he should have been given another effect) on the field. But yeah, the ATK increase of Darkness can be really great.

Originally posted by Demonic Phoenix
Oh I could tell you loads about how people have based their entire deck around him (including myself), only to lose because you need 3 blue-eyes, a polymerization and the wretched card itself. & that's if those guys can even make it onto the field.

Overall, I'd say Red-Eyes and its variations are better than Blue-Eyes and its variations because although Blue-Eyes is stronger, Red-Eyes is easier to upgrade in general and its alternate forms are just that easier to summon.
As quoted from the first Yu-Gi-Oh movie (from the first anime), Blue-Eyes brings power, whereas Red-Eyes brings potential.

Another one of my all time favorites ✅. Kicks any Dragon's posterior, along with the ability to kick the posteriors of spells too. I admit, I was amazed when I saw Yugi summon it against Kaiba.

Lol, they've banned allot of the good cards. Guess there's allot of butt hurt in yugioh. The only one at a glance that derserves to be banned is the crush card virus.

Originally posted by Demonic Phoenix
There are a lot of cards that deserve to be banned believe me. While others are just banned because they are a part of a powerful strat, which sucks.

Originally posted by Demonic Phoenix
Megamorph, The good ol' days. Sadly, these days, it's all about effects and ATK has for the most part taken a backseat. >__>

I just like the way the card looks better. Not anything else.

😆 Don't have enough heroes for a hero deck. I have Zombies/King of Skull Servant deck, a remove from play deck, a stall deck, A Harpie Deck (that I'm missing two Harpie Queens for), a water deck, a frog deck, and one other deck I forget.

Originally posted by Kento
Yep, yep. I wonder why Red Eyes has so many different forms these days. There's even a Red Eyes Wyvern which lets you summon any Red Eyes.

Originally posted by Kento
Well they got effects that can allow to swarm the field, and I only really mean in Yugioh.

Might be out in Japan, but it's not coming here with the January issue of Shonen Jump. lol Well Obelisk is the least broken of all the gods, Ra the most. I think I'd see a Slifer before Ra since at least Slifer probably wouldn't be tournament banned right off the bat.

Originally posted by Ridley_Prime
Really? That I did not know. Odd...
Well, I guess Red-Eyes has to have something Blue-Eyes doesn't have at least (that something being many different forms, albeit it being overdone now).

Originally posted by Ridley_Prime
Hah! Well that's good to hear at least. Go Slifer!

It was not a simple strategy. It was a simple objective that was achieved through an extremely complex and methodical execution. Chain Destruction does absolutely nothing to prevent the summoning of Exodia; and as for Card Destruction and other such cards, for the most part, we utilised our own custom forbidden and limited card selections, and even when in use, my strategy revolved around survival and being able to draw my cards out at a rate far greater than my opponent. My strategy revolved around the probability of me being able to draw out the Exodia cards not only before my opponent was able to defeat me but also before he could employ such tactics. Having more than one of each Exodia card within the deck also helped.

True, but they were still fun to watch in GX imo. Of course, Jaden's hax draw ruined the coolness of most of his duels.

All Jaden has during the duel is nothing but a pure luck. His deck sux and I've dueled one of my friend who used hero deck(much or less like Jaden's) via YVD (I used my real deck during the duel via YVD) and I beat him easily. Right now he is using ojama deck. no more heroes I guess...

Don't be embarrassed Kento, until Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon came out, frogs were much more playable than dragons were.

I know, I'm just joking around with him.

Originally posted by Ridley_Prime
Yeah. I think the slightly different trend there is kinda fitting though, since Exodius isn't just a "forbidden one" like Exodia, but an ultimate forbidden lord rather...

Thing is, I don't see Exodius as 'above' Necross and Exodia. Well, maybe he's above Necross, but not Exodia imo.

Although, I guess from one perspective, Exodius is his true form, Exodia the chained form, and Necross the undead form.

Originally posted by Ridley_Prime
Indeed. I find Darkness Dragon relatively easy to summon most of the time anyway though since I have both Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Chick.

You got that strat from Atticus/Nightshroud, admit it 😛. Come to think of it, was REB Chick out before Atticus played him, or after?

Originally posted by Ridley_Prime
Ironically, I have all those cards IRL, but I learned the hard way as to just how close to impossible Shining Dragon is to summon. 😂 I kept it in my dragon deck anyway though in case I ever got lucky enough one day to use it in a duel, but I didn't of course.

Hehe, yeah, at least if he had some effect that prevented him from being destroyed easily (by cards such as Lightning Vortex; I already know he can't be destroyed by cards that target), he'd be worth it.

Yep. Though Kaiba sure did know how to use that power of Blue-Eyes. It's why he's above Joey, even though Joey achieved such heights in a short time.

Come to think of it, I wonder how Joey would play if he had all these alternate forms of REBD. All he had was REBD and that "attack" card that dealt direct damage equal to REBD's ATK.

Originally posted by Ridley_Prime
Me too. Of course, Yugi always has one awesome monster/card that he only uses once against a particular opponent (Magician of Black Chaos against Pegasus, Dark Paladin against Kaiba, the magic card Ragnarok against Yami-Marik, and any others I might be missing). Still, the fusion of Dark Magician and Buster Blader was more badass than I ever thought it would be, making it a monster of Yugi's that's definitely worth remembering to say the least.

Buster Blader itself is badass. I remember Yugi using it against Slifer. Man, I thought it was kewl. Then he goes ahead and fuses the ultimate warrior with the ultimate magician. He owned Kaiba with DP (hehe, DP).

Frogs? 🤨

Relax, the Yu-Gi-Oh! frogs are cool ✅. Des Frog is pretty sweet. D.3.S. Frog is awesome. There is also a reason Treeborn frog is limited despite its low ATK, which bloody sucks for D.3.S.

Originally posted by Ridley_Prime
Like the Egyptian Gods? They'd become as big as (if not bigger than) both the Great Leviathan and Zorc then if that happened. xD

Well, no, I was thinking of a more "real-life" kinda situation, if you get my drift 😛. Kazuki Takahashi would make even moar money 😛.

Still, seeing monsters like Rainbow Neos twice as big as they appeared would be kinda kewl.

Originally posted by Ridley_Prime
Yes he is! estahuh At least, he's my favorite out of the three in terms of coolness, appearance, and as a monster in general.
If you mean game-wise though, then I have to agree about him not being as cool as the other two. 🙁

Nahhhh. I mean, I love the overall design of the head and everything (though the wings were kinda misplaced imo), but Ra's much cooler in that Phoenix form of his (because I'm biased 😛), and Obelisk's bad-ass appearance in the duel against Yugi made me love the monster.

Sacred Beasts were pretty cool as well. I loved Raviel's and Uria's designs, not Hamon's though.

Originally posted by Ridley_Prime
lol Yeah. That's for sure...

Still, I liked Jaden more than Yugi (not Yami though) as a protagonist for some reason. Guess I just liked Jaden's super laid-back personality. Bad-ass in a way (sleeping in class with painted eyes 😂 )

Because Red-Eyes knows it needs forms to compete with Blue-Eyes...It needs like 4 forms for every 1 form of Blue-Eyes 😛.

Don't worry. Fraggin' frogs are pretty cool in their own way. Treeborn is super awesome. D.3.S. frog may look fat, but he can amp his ATK upto 4000. Though right now it's 3000 because of Treeborn's status.

Queen Harpy is the only hawt harpy imo. The rest are just bleh 😛.

I dunno, Obelisk can wipe out the whole field with two sacrifices and deal 4000 points of damage (or infinite damage, I forget).

Ra's effects are weird tbh, but yeah, he's broken. Though I don't think he's above the other two. That hierarchy thing was just a plot point so that Yami Marik had an advantage as opposed to being at a great disadvantage; since he was the villain and everything.

You should build a Fire Deck. With Cards like Solar Flare Dragon (at least 2), Ultimate Baseball Kid, Raging Flame Sprite, Flame Ruler, Infernal Flame Emperor, even Lava Golem perhaps (along with something like Gravity Bind or Level Limit Area B)

I officially hate Gladiator Beast now. lol

Slifer would probably be the only dragon I'd like to play if it kept the secondary effect though it's first effect makes it nearly unstoppable, attack wise. Though with having to sacrifice three monsters really turns me off to playing any God card made legal.

YouTube video

Makes me wish they had shown an Orichalcos version of Slifer and Ra too (or Phoenix Ra + Orichalcos 😆 ), but oh well. Orichalcos Obelisk seemed to give the person using him quite a headache anyway. 😛

I completely agree about the Sacred Beasts on the other hand (not liking Hamon's design either), but that goes without saying.
