@@runningoncylinders3829 It doesn't really work against Super Poly since you'd just chain Super Poly to it. At best you'd be forced into less optimal fusion materials.
@@Skasaha_ That is true. Guess It'll stop any of their additional Fusion summons if they planned to do so. Doesn't stop Links though, so it's certainly seen some powercreep.
These cards were supposed to be side deck and extra deck staples. A good handful are but most are just place holders they couldve given to other cards.
I kinda feel that Konami should've reprinted some fusions like Kaminari, or some super poly targets and I really wished that Effect Veiler had an alternate art.
The Knightmares should have been in this set over some of the synchros. Things like prankatops, Red reboot and called by were both in this and the tins so there was no reason not to put phoenix, Cerberus and unicorn
The contrast on the ghost sisters is amazing I might get a set of those over the secrets of any of them I also think that most of the secret rare printings are a bit over rated
@@SwagMaster824 a lot of the supers don't pop especially on things that are contrasting like this I like things like white on gold or most fusions look good
Ghost Belle is also my favorite of the new artwork cards. I just wish they also gave Effect Veiler an alternate art as well. This set was a great place to have new art for the card.
considering the size of the product, i feel they should have included a mat for people who dont have and/or would like a mat with duel devastator's aesthetic, i myself dont own a mat, well, i have the paper mats from structure decks... I think many people would have apreciated it, imagine a random mat from a pool of cool duel devastator designs!!
I had that feeling of there needing a mat or something in it with all of that empty space. I am also concerned about people having their cards damaged straight from the box since they are all loose in the box like they are as compared to the packaging in the tins or Legendary box sets.
Honestly just happy that the set cards' prices are going down. This set is good for everyone that wants it AND for those that would rather get specific staples online. Everyone wins :)
I got 4 Ghost Sisters Field Centers in my Duel Devastator box, I was really surprised that I didn't get any Character Field Centers, but not complaining :)
I wish the zombie type ghost girls had 0 def so I could use shiranui style synthesis to fish them from my graveyard, would make it to easy to shut down your opponents cuz you'd basically be able to use them over and over again they would probably get banned
And just a heads up to any one who buys duel Devastator my copy of ghost ogre got bended while in package and I have been seeing it from several other people who have also bought box the box so be aware of that
I needed Majesty and Vanity, I didn't see any offerings online from my country before and it would've costed me like 10 euros to get both before, now I just got 2 of each for 1,50 euros.
Spell Canceller + Wave Motion Cannon is an amazing way to psyche out your opponent. Since Wave Motion is based on real time, not like counters or anything, you can get rid of Spell Canceller later and your opponent still takes the full blow.
The synchros should’ve been put in Duel Links instead of this. The art of the character field center is also seen in Duel Links (not sure if that’s where it came from originally).
Catastor is for the people playing older formats :) Which is why I am picking up this product making the best of the best and alot of staples from that time are in here
It’s interesting seeing all the synchros now because it seems with the revision of the current master rule, perhaps using synchros on a regular basis will become meta relevant. Or it could just be because they needed bodies to fill the box requirement and they just wanted to give out randos
“It could be improved in multiple different ways” honestly you can say that about pretty much everything. The fact that this is one of the “really good” products compared to most other Konami products is what should be highlighted instead. Cimo’s just being too critical of this product I don’t know why.
Probably a noob question, but what is a field center for? Ik it's to put in the center of the field, but is it necessary for a pro duel? No one at my locals use them and I dont have any so not sure what's the purpose
It's not necessary as far as I'm aware, maybe at Regionals and higher, but it's simply so that you and your opponent are aware of the exact spot of the Extra Monster Zones and no arguments come up. A visual aid, so to speak.
Vermilion Dragon Tech is okay, but because of how some cards have a target negate, that's the thing that makes it feel like it's only good for being a 2700 attack beat stick.
I think I'll get myself a box of those. I like playing non-meta with my friends and going for thematic decks like Undead, Dark Magician or Blue Eyes. Might just put those ghost girls into a undead themed deck with my vampires.
I’m getting back into YuGiOh and this was the first thing I bought not originally knowing what it was becuase I loved the box. It was on clearance at GameStop on top of having a 20% discount
Good but you should ask someone to get it for you on your birthday or something cuz it’s not worth it to buy it with your own money but just ask someone to get it for you for your birthday or something
They did and it was smart; perfect for new players going into mr5 era konami had a more long term strategy via 2018-2019; interested to see if they will continue doing so 2020+ or adopt short term planning
I really think that wire tap should have been dark bribe because it does actually see some play here and there and to my knowledge does not have a holo printing
Luckily you get a few field centres so if you dont get one you wanted you could always trade it off for one you did. I'll probably be fine with picking 1 or 2 up whenever I can and trading for anything else I want
If this box had maybe a couple more reprints on the level of Saruyja I'd be happy but the odds of a player not owning most of these when you play the game a decent amount is pretty low. But again this is obviously pretty good for newer players.
Some pretty good cards, and then a lot of useless tuners and random stuff that really doesnt go well together at all. I just bought singles of some denkos and vanitys fiend (both well under a $1 each for ultra rares) and for hand traps i wont pay $20 for a 3 card playset, so skull meister it is at .20 cents a pop.
Yeah cause this is a generic cards box and most fusions aren't generic. Especially not air neos.. A few super poly targets would be could thought a mudragon would be nice
I’ve seen this pack around a lot but I’ve been kinda contemplating on buying it due to trying to save my money to get my financial situation back to where I want it to be
As a budget player who started YuGiOh a few months ago that is running zombies would this be recommended to buy or should I go and buy just singles I mean I like all the artwork wether I’m gonna use it or not but yeah what’s your opinion, is it a good deal or not?
lol, you can make a loli deck with the duel devastator, coming back to yugioh after a long break. although its much more complex now, it seems the metagame is much healthier now and encourages more creativity instead of 1 or 2 meta archetypes controlling the scene
Gate blocker is a weird side deck card that pulls double duty against mine and endymion, and protects you from handtraps. It's better-looking secret was already cheap though. And Red Reboot is still a bad card in anything that can't OTK on the spot. Wiretap serves a significantly different purpose (it's entirely possible to argue that purpose is irrelevant, however).
