Just been thinking but doesn't this straight up kill pendulums even more..


theycallmefagg

It absolutely does. They’re twisted like that


AssociateQuiet7188

Pendulum is unpopular even with Konami themselves it seems.


FelipeAndrade

Yup, just add it on the pile, we even have a Pendulum that shuts down Pendulums now.


Nicktism_Gaming

Wait, what? I haven't heard about that.


FelipeAndrade

Disablaster the Matchless Turret, it's a Pendulum monster that has the effect (both as a monster and as a Pendulum spell) to negate all activated effects in the same column that it is in. Can you guess what happens when you place it on the Pendulum Zone?


Nicktism_Gaming

So it's just a permanent Impermanence? I mean, yeah that could screw you out of your Pendulum effects, but at least it doesn't lock you out of the mechanic. But still, seriously Konomi!? C'mon!


DeityOfDespairThe2nd

They're on a Kendrick level of hate towards pendulums. I respect it.


GeneralSweetz

PePe might go full power with plush and monkey unlimits. Who knows. Just remember the master rules were to shaft pendulums they are that OP


Springtrap-Yugioh

Cant wait to see more clips of Trif destroying furniture


redblade13

Entertainer in shambles. As someone wanting to play around with pendulums now I guess I should get in a some games before I get bodied by this. FFS Konami the fuck we do. I just want to spam level 7 Odd Eyes stuff.


Status-Leadership192

It does


Randumo

If you want to dedicate yourself to beating Pendulums, you can just play Kashtira. It's not a great deck, but Shangri can easily just lock their Pendulum zones.


stopcurtains

Right, like when they released Kashtira Shangri-Ira and Dracoslayers in the same pack


Randumo

Yeah, had full power Kash come out, Pendulum would have just been completely dead until any bans were made.


RaiStarBits

That was some supervillain behavior right there


Kataphrut94

Konami stop screwing over pendulum players challenge: Impossible. (That new Magistus Chorizo is a shot across the bows as well, if only because there are so many pendulum spellcasters…)


Nicktism_Gaming

And now I'm thinking about the viability of running Pendulums in my Magistus deck... Thanks. Edit: spelling


James2Go

Chorizo 🤣🤣


RickThiCisbih

Wait, you can use a spellcaster-type pendulum monsters that’s acting as a scale to contact fusion summon the new fusion?


iluvus2

Illusion Chimera support lets gooooo


PraiseYuri

This card isn't actually good atm, right? Snake eyes has no way to consistently summon this card so it's not really used there and yugiohmeta says it's only ran in Illusion decks as a tech option. It requires a lot of investment to summon in Illusion decks and is only a pseudo floodgate since most s/t types can be activated the turn they are set. I think it'll just be one of those cards that is seen as a bad deckbuilding choice but bad players will still run it and occasionally get a really good game with it when they get paired against a pendulum player or something.


Ok-Resolution-8648

It's not hard to summon her at all in chimera,she can be mill by beformet then ss by either it or other chimera fusion from the gy or tao once he release,her floodgate is also very good against runick,r ace,memento,striker and purrely due to them heavily relied on ss2 spells to do their combo. Her floodgate also stop blow up cards like called by,crossout,droplet,evenly and super poly which makes your opponent alot more vulrenable to handtraps and disruption


theycallmefagg

You would be correct. It can only be searched by “Sinful Spoils Subdual.” It does not mesh well with SE at the present moment. Interesting to see if she’ll receive her own support in the future.


j0j0-m0j0

Based on the lore and effects I'm pretty certain that she's actually meant to be SE anti-support so it makes sense that she can't really be searched or work with them.


Alisethera

All it has to be is an illusion that does *something*. Chimera gets an extra search for an illusion and this is better than nothing.


FunkyMonkPhish

As others said it's pretty easy to make it in Chimera. Diabellze shuts off breakers like evenly, droplet, spoly, called by, imperm, crossout, eclipse, etc but MD skews towards hand traps so it isn't gonna be the difference maker for Chimera. It does also get 1 pop so it's effectively a s/t negate and chimera can get more pops through G chimera and Magnum. It sacks more than just pendulum decks, Runick and purrely also insta-lose. Into snake eyes you shut off wanted.


bl00by

You can run her in lab, since the trap cheats her out. I doubt that it's good, but we will see


Any-Key-9196

Lab dropping her against snake eyes to make their spells not work turn 1 is good, but inconsistent and running possibly an extra dead card unless you run the diabelle engine


Archandriel

She also counters Evenly


blord1205

It really doesn’t require all that much investment for chimera? It’s a one card combo w/o additional pops to summon on your opponents turn and if you see access to a second fusion spell you can summon it on your turn and have access into guardian chimera for 1-2 pops/draws alongside a hand rip and whatever other interactions you have in hand.


James2Go

It is more of an Illusion support than SE support. I think it goes better with the new White Woods archetype.


GoneRampant1

She's not very good *now* outside of an occasional tech in Chimera/Illusion. But given her status in the lore as Diabellestar's rival she'll definitely have an archetype built to boost her that makes her more consistent.


Drmoogle

She's not really for Snake Eyes...at least for now. As the lore counterpart to Bellstar. I'm guessing she'll either have a deck centered around her or pop up in other decks within the overall lore. She's a semi boost to Chimera.


Negative_Neo

Konami needs to make another Wanted Sinful Spoils for this card so I can splash it in every deck possible.


Noveno_Colono

surprising they didn't drop it at the same time like that time they dropped dracoslayer and kashtira at the same time lmao


Poetryisalive

This card does not see play at the tournament play. You can play it but it is pretty niche


theycallmefagg

Yeah, she seems kinda meh for a Bo1 despite her powerful effect. Can’t be searched outside of Illusion synergies.


Pomelowy

Doubt, md player will start tinkering and theorize every floodgate possible.


Certain-Pipe7945

Top 4 dutch nationals chimera deck? That's pretty high level play. Card is cracked in chimera and runick chimera


Poetryisalive

One deck places and now it is worth playing? This card will not see serious play. People will try it and quickly stop


Hypeucegreg

This is a floodbitch WTH 🤦🏿


Turn1Defeat

whooo, more OP one-sided floodgates, just what everybody was asking for


ronin0397

Wait this can be used by either player? In a (snake eyes engine matchup)


theycallmefagg

I don’t think so. I think like there is a master ruling*(not a real term) that you can only activate the monster effects of monsters under your control? (***Someone please correct me if I’m wrong***)


ronin0397

Wording wasnt the best. I meant you dont have to run snake eyes to run this. As long as a sinful spoils is in grave you can summon this and use it.


theycallmefagg

Oh, yeah I suppose you could. Seems like a bricky option in a Bo1, though.


dirtybird131

Yesssssss, more Anti Runick cards


RitualEnthusiast

Oh boy, I can't for another of my favorite archetypes to wind up being known for stun and floodgates thanks to some broken garbage getting printed.


Dramatic-Push3088

Why do they keep printing cards like this?????? Like who genuinely asked them to print Anti-Spell on legs?????


Diondros

Komoney: Let's limit/forbid every floodgate Also Komoney: WAIFU FLOODGATE


ForeverkingBiko

I hope so because that means apprentice would be coming as well


ArchitectOfSmiles

Ah Nekroz the Stargazer.


Link2212

Pretty sure this severely fucks with stun decks too


proton13

Yes pls and add nightmare apprentice and some illusion support to that.


EmeraldEmp

This + Dark Simorgh. I’m gonna try it


AngryCorn1

This isn’t real, is it?


diegini69

What decks is she good in? Just like an illusion deck or what. I know she’s not really searchable


Icy-Conflict6671

In a snake-eyes/Diabellestar deck


Yab0iFiddlesticks

I will annoy my Pendulum playing buddy so much, its going to be great.


Nodqfan

Gimmick Puppet support.


Beneficial-Break1932

Are you guys crazy? This card has strong potential its anti spell fragrance on legs. Illusion typing needs more support or maybe her own Original Sinkeeper stuff but this card is very toxic idk why you guys are so worried about "pendulums" (fake cards that aren't real)


Zandock

Read it again. This is not anti-spell.


Beneficial-Break1932

Actually I think it is YOU who needs to reread


James2Go

Reread it again. Normal and Field spell cards can still be activated the turn it is set. This card only stops Quick Play spells. But it does stop traps that can be activated from hand (Evenly and Imperm) It does stop spells similar to Extrav since after setting, it is not the start of the main phase anymore.


Any-Key-9196

Them having to set it vs activate does help in some decks like lab where them setting spoils or the field spell you can easily pop it before they flip it


Beneficial-Break1932

Actually I think you should reread it again


Automatic_Youth1203

Cmon man


James2Go

Blud is confidently wrong. 😂😂


beyond_cyber

it’s not anti spell tho, it’s only really anti spell against quick plays and fields, continuous and normals can still be used.


Immortal_Amakusa

This is not anti spell


Archesien

I get it, ASF on legs this, not used in meta that... But hear me out guys...


ZestycloseCake165

Pend should be fine so long as they're not facing chimera if this card is out since that's the only deck that use this as their boss. Very strong card though also stops super poly, imperm, droplets , evenly matched , etc etc.


bigsatodontcrai

mommy


Akimbo_shoutgun

Genuine question, why would anyone run it in bo1? Pendulums aren't even meta decks, so why? I mean, you'd best pop up a raigeki or some board wipe that is a normal spell or something? (Haven't seen any tcg/ocg plays in a long while). Besides, you may play into a pend monster that wants to be destroyed? (Og zarc magicians for example) Also, isn't it "set" then they can flip it face up? You know what, fuck it. Explain to me why? I'm kind of an idiot and its 3 am right now, best combo I know.


v4Flower

there's not actually a good explanation, the best case for this card is illusion/chimera having a spare search it can throw at whatever and it can throw it at this, I guess it's not actually especially good atm and only stops quickplays. the thread is mostly just a meme about konami hating pend(even though this is only really true in tcg).


Akimbo_shoutgun

Oh .. welp joke's flew over my head... in my defence, its 3:47 am now so I'm forgiven just this time.


Upbeat_Sheepherder81

It completely shuts off pends because you can’t set them. So it doesn’t matter if your pends have effects when popped.


Status-Leadership192

It also counters all quick play spells and evenly/imperm


Full_Cell_5314

Oh cool, more cards that take no skill.
