That's all true, but I think we've been pretty aggressive with our banlists, especially the big purge at the start of GX. And a lot of our "limited" cards are really just cards we only pulled one copy of. And it is pretty common in Goat format to play a dozen or more limited cards, so we are at least accurate for the era.

I decided to look into "1600 Tribal" a bit more after this episode. It's definitely something you could build, but Thunder Hand is the only card that directly supports it, so everything else would just be a pile of the best generic monsters with 1600 ATK/DEF. And I could only find one bad generic card that cared about monsters with the same atk. So not a whole lot to work with. But maybe it will end up being more viable in this format. Though it would help if I had a playset of Mataza.

In just the DM era, we had: - Effects that were printed way too late to be useful become staples - Unusable monster effects suddenly become broken because they were put on monsters with different stats - Terribly statted monsters ending up with some of the best effects in the game - Playing directly into face up cards because we couldn't read them - Failing to read our own cards correctly because we've never used their effects before - Cards that work so well together that you'd swear they were designed to go together - Amazoness being tier 0 on release - A banlist full of cards that have never been banworthy in any other context, mostly with effects that aren't usually banworthy either It's everything I could have hoped for.

My guess about Flamberge and the tokens was wrong. They apparently do still count as monster cards for those sorts of effects (Predaplant Moray Nepenthes works normally with them, for example). However, the rules state that tokens can only be summoned from outside of the game. I suspect that using my Spear Dragon to steal your Angler was the objectively superior play, especially since it would allow me to effectively cheat around the hard OPT on their effect. But the token was a pain to deal with, and I was curious what would happen to it, and I was able to leave you without any monsters, so I went with that play instead.
@whambamduel25 күн бұрын
@TheLetterJ0 yeah no, the play you made definitely wasn't a bad one, but it also had the bonus of being informative!

You finally got another win. And all it took was the best board breaker in the game and the most degenerate burn/stall card we've seen so far. I also just realized that I could have won the second game. On the turn you got me with TT, I just needed to not summon a token, then use a token, Tiger, and the Dragon to make Flower Wolf to empty some zones, then summon Great Angus, use it to summon your Armor Exe and Thunderball, then use them to make Robolady, which could banish your Ectoplasmer. And then I would have enough damage on board to win before you could activate your TT. I think I just forgot that Chaos Angel doesn't actually need to use a Light/Dark monster as a tuner.

@TheLetterJ0 LOL that's definitely one way you could have done it. You looked at flower wolf in your Extra Deck like a billion times while I was editing. But yeah, that is kind of an involved and unintuitive line, so I can see how you didn't think of it at the time.

Ik you talked about its effect but it is always used like this: XYZ summon Utopia with Ascended Sage -> Add RUM Utopiforce because of its effect -> Utopia Prime -> Activate RUM -> Dragonar with 4 materials instead of 2. Which means that its quick effect can be used at the start of next turn too and the Utopia you summon with it on your turn can get the RUM as an XYZ material

In retrospect, I probably should have kept Chaos Robolady a secret since I had already won the match. But I couldn't just not summon it. And obviously it didn't matter, but at the end of game 2 I could have summoned Melchid, fused it, Nightmare Elf, and your dragon into Flower Wolf, and then used After the Struggle/Last will to summon anything with 600+ atk to win a turn earlier. You can even see me considering the play, but I decided against it. I think I probably forgot to count Flower Wolf's atk when running the numbers in my head, so I didn't think I had enough damage available.
