Pend best deck cause it educates duelists.

Including other pendulum scales if duel links is anything to go by. Seriously Why is that a thing?!

@@tomfranck8821 one of the first pend monsters, an attempt to try to balance the mechanic

@@tomfranck8821 you can activate timegazer perfectly fine if you have another scale already up

I did: Mitch from The Sableyes channel 😂

"Seriously, I have never heard somebody use that word so may times in 10 minutes." *cue TeamSamuraiX1*

As much of a meme it’s been, Pen Magician have many great cards. It’s just Konami refuses to help the mechanic for some reason

@@blinktwice296 They regret making pendulums. That’s why

@@blinktwice296 Let's be honest. It's a mechanic that leads to all or nothing combo boards, is extremely solitaire and extremely dependent on going first due to inability to play hand traps. Also, old cards are the ones carrying the mechanic, meaning komoney makes nearly nothing off of them. I may not agree, but I get why komoney doesn't want em to be good.

If you see a yugiboomer there's a chant to ward them off, just say " Odd-eyes Performapal Pendulum Magician Speedroid Phantom Knight Dimension Dragon deck"

@@bohlam6c I thought the easiest way to scare off a Yugiboomer is to say "GOAT format isn't that good."

@@ronjohnson6394 Nah nah nah that'll just either piss em off or get them to drop a "k." and leave.

He already gave @Ignister a recent enough TMT

Chill out there.

You sure you don't mean Trickstar there buckaroo? 😂

You could, but then you'd have to associate with Trif

@@ByzanQueen what's the downside? You get to be invisible

@@ByzanQueen and why exactly is that a bad thing?

Play Triffs version

DL players now know

Yeah I'd side the scythe at best for going first

No, you NEED the draw. Sky Striker also plays their most important cards at 1, shout outs to banlist, and any SS list you see without Desires is bad & won't top.

I'll tell you for free, in hands in which you really struggle to see a line, Desires almost always fixes your hand. like its 8 times out of 10 that it makes your hands objectively better

Combo decks with infinite extenders that play through all of them

Maybe astrograph will comeback next list? Before electrumite, he wasn’t as crazy since he needed to get looped at 3 copies, but at one, he won’t be insane

Pot of Greed going to 3 on the next banlist my uncle works at Konami and his dad made yugioh so you know it's true.

@Silverwing This is Konami so if he’s coming back (maybe) he’ll be at one to see if anything’s happening. It’s not like OCG where both Astrograph and Electrumite are at 1.

@Silverwing Doubt people would go to that even if astrograph goes back to 3 the deck can do way more than that even now and cards like baroness de fleur and phoenix enforcer that will be released later this year will be more insane and provide a bigger shift in playstyle than astrograph could ever hope to achieve, I can only see more control style versions of the deck ditching chronograph for astrograph but that's about it

@Silverwing People just will not stop playing Pendulum Call, so that will not happen, but Magicians are pretty viable that way right now. People just make it Artifact turbo ft. Magicians.

The deck can play through hand traps and out boards so no hand traps necessary as they brick hands.

That can happen?

And then they will start to hate the deck again. It's the block dragon effect tbh. The card isn't quite good enough to make the deck that it supports tier 1, at least if it's at 1, but it doesn't exactly have healthy interactions. The deck didn't have too high of a representation but it was annoying to deal with. Especially if I wasn't side decking droll in that format, which had gone in and out of my side deck over the formats. It was a pretty fun deck to play with sure, I played vlad endymion in striker orcust format and the deck could do a lot. But it ended up pretty die rolly in a lot of match ups, and the ones where it wasn't it was just a nightmare to play against for them. So yeah, elec could come back, but I don't know if it's really going to improve the game. Feast or famine decks are just hard to balance in general, they end up being either too weak to do anything, or too strong to be stopped and end up unhealthy, either warping the format around them or just introduce a die roll match up for the format.

Timestar magician on the board achieves the same result, actually it does a non-target removal if you use it that way

@@TerraCraftFan2003 purp is still a pop mid combo if you sort pop it, let the yugiboomers dream

@@scottmaitland4778 but if you use the timestar effect with time pendulumgraph, it "sends" cards to the graveyard and it doesnt target

@@TerraCraftFan2003 don’t you dare come round here with your logic

@@scottmaitland4778 I'm a pendulum player, I read every square foot of card text

What is the baroness version?
