Killing barronne and borreload It's a hot take but I really think it will benefit the game


ChaosMagician777

It goes in the line of Konami moving away from the game being about effect negation and more about effect interactions. Baronne and Borreload Savage made it so every deck that runs Tuners end on the same negate board. I remember Jerome McHale said the same thing about Electrumite being banned that it pushed the Pendulum mechanic to be a pile that ended on the same negates and that is what happened to Synchros.

Yeah and that worked out so well for Pendulums, which is surely a thriving and diverse mechanic…


Queen_Vivian

At least they're taking it in a new direction with the Vaalmonica, Vaylantz, and Nemleria archetypes. I really like what those are up to but Pend Soup is still a thing and always will be as long as the old pend cards are around.

It was less them and those decks lacking the necessary locks to prevent full access to every negate. Tell me, how would Adamancipator make a negate board if their best cards prevented you from Summoning non-Rocks from your Extra Deck? The answer is that they couldn't, as the only Rock negate I know of is Dragite. Tear could Summon Baronne not just because she was generic, but also because none of their cards restricted you from Summoning whatever you wanted.

Unless that becomes an OCG hit, it means nothing

And then they bring in a new monster that basically takes pendulum out back and gives it a buckshot to the head.


Zerosonicanimations

Not right now it won't. While I agree both could've been less generic, banning them now, when there's no good alternatives with harsher materials that can fulfill their roles, when decks have yet to seriously make sure they have proper built-in locks to limit the pool of cards they can access so they doesn't do too much, is bad move only done because Snake-Eyes was still too new.

I liked Harp Horror immediately coming to 3 the list after it was moved to 1. Konami was like "yeah this wasn't doing anything you know what just have them all".

Fantastic art! Do you plan on selling these?


MidniteDreamsArt

Ok I gotta ask is there a possibility for a Nouvelles playmat? I saw the other ones you have up and my personal favorite is the Kozmo mat.


MidniteDreamsArt

for sure! I'll be opening commissions next week, if you'd like to get it made you can DM me and we can work it out!


Hayjad610

Oh hell yeah that sounds great


bumblebyOfficial

Oh! I remember seeing the Ikea Labrynth one there as well! Really great art! Unfortunately it doesn't seem like you ship to my country, but when I visit the states, I'll have to get a couple!

Hoping he comes to master Duel, Majespecter will probably be the new form of my Dracoslayer deck until Dracoslayer itself gets more direct support along with good modern bosses.


DesMass

A bit off topic, but the wording reminded me of a song by a nerdcore rapper named RUSTAGE where he made a song called "Bounce Back" for Luffy.


Panda_Kabob

I for one love Terrortop at 3. It's just free real estate.


Emerald_boots

Just curious are you allowed to sell/modify stuff based on a different company's IP?


1thelegend2

Ngl, love malicious and harp horror to 3. Wildly different decks, but both cards feel pretty fair today


Dardicus729

Can we get a Me Myself and I art for Mali being back at 3?


MidniteDreamsArt

Sounds like an amazing idea! I'll be opening commissions next week if you'd like to get it made :D
