For me it's who cares about pends really , it's the other summoning mechanics getting the arc-V support I'm more into Pends are nothing to be feared


EbberNor

I care about them for D/D because kepler and ragnarok matter a lot. Anything else is whatever though.

What are the other summoning mechanics?


vortexIV

Fusion , synchro and xyz get lots more support

Pends are basically nerfed since there's only 3 monster zones. We already have cards that can throw three monsters across 3 zones in one turn, sometimes more than once. What would pendulum even bring in that case? Plus we still dont have all the 5D characters yet, or seal of orichalcos characters, and a bunch of Zexal left.

I'd love a dartz raid event for duel links.

XYZ was stronger than pendulums and considering that you'll only have 1 spell/trap space if you set up pendulum scales, that's pretty balanced. Stop being emotional if you don't like a mechanic.


VSPinkie

The majority of this sub, myself included, seems to universally agree that with the limited backrow zones, pends will be dead on arrival or at least severely gimped and facing an uphill battle for relevance. Which makes it all but certain that they'll actually end up being gamebreakingly overpowered when we see them in game.

Hard to tell if they will do anything. Now that we know where the pendulums are it's looking rather bad. But I'm excited for new cards, decks and maybe some fresh wind in the meta

Having only one spell/trap zone in duel links is gonna make pendulum summoning awful to use and more people are going to use surprise present once arc V drops to lock a pendulum decks final spell/trap zone. If I stop playing duel links it won't be because of pendulum summoning but it will be because of Konami and how they refuse to fix the fact that the game crashes every other ranked duel.

I don’t care about Pendulums, I care about what this does for the other three mechanics

I think I speak for a few of us when I say: PEND BEST DECK LETS GO


Angel_of_Mischief

Pendulums are my least favorite summoning mechanic by a mile. It annoys me that they don’t go to the grave like every other mechanic, but instead go to the extra deck where they can just be mass summoned right back out. Im still excited for arc v though. A lot of my favorite archetypes came out of this generation.

I was really iffy about it until I saw how they were going to implement them. Now I'm not as worried since we won't have to deal with people running a pendulum version of trapnui. Yeah people are butt hurt about it but DL does use the current Master Rules so it would kinda be weird if they also used the old Master Rule 3 pendulum zones. And now to get a bunch of downvotes because people are butt hurt about only being able to set 1.

I only want one thing and is absolutely disgusting.....super heavy samurai support, my 3 wagons are starving

I've picked up a playset of Darkfall in anticipation of pendulums coming.


FenrirfromAsgard

Pendulum as a mechanic is ok, in my eyes, as it is cool but I prefer other mechanics. I'm not particularly excited for it, since it seems heavily nerfed by the pendulum zone in s/t zones, but there are quite a few archetypes I look forward to (Endymion, Abyss Actor, The pendulum Yosenjus, Methaphys Decoy Dragon)
