[@monkfishy6348]

Tested it. It's not very good. Original Tainted Treasure only functions in two card combos in which you can normal summon, making it really bricky. You can't cut the R-Ace cards down much, and you'd be eating into hand traps and other consistency cards to fit even just 3 Original Tained Treasure.

[@ozzy6831]

@@monkfishy6348 Thats not really true. both Diabellestar and Hunter Fiend are 1.5 card combos like One for one and both of them also give you the option to play around handtraps more easily. Dropping Prosp or Small World to fit in more flexible and resilient starters seems pretty good to me. Just play 1 Original, 2 WItch and 3 Hunter Fiend.

[@ch4r7b0xx]

[@lightman9935]

Diabellestar seems so crazy, 3 searcher 1-3 bellestar, 1 luciela already is really good. Her summoning condition is very desirable for many decks and a lv7 dark spellcaster body can do a lot ranging from viruses to secret village. Having her be the connecting piece between multiple lore archetypes is gonna ensure a very high powerfloor.

[@shrekisboss5759]

@@dariuspenner2528 eev is fine tbh. If anti spell can exist so can eev. Yeah labyrinth can search it but it’s like a three card combo that sometimes doesn’t do a whole lot if they just open monsters. Sure it outs cards like feather duster but so does anti spell. If it’s good against your hand anti spell would’ve ended the game just the same as eev but anti spell is easier to use in most scenarios. Eev is an annoying card for sure but it’s not getting banned unless anti spell goes with it too

[@F3XT]

​@@shrekisboss5759both should be banned, also of course anti spell is the better card but eev is a lot more high roll and the design in it makes it way more frustrating to play against, while anti spell can very easily be outed in a lot of cases, so I don't think just because anti spell is the better card eev isn't more toxic or that one justifies the existence of the other/the other getting in the banlist

[@dariuspenner2528]

@shrekisboss5759 I’m absolutely okay with Anti-Spell being banned. Both that and EEV are functionally IO with how fast the game is now. EEV also has even less counterplay than Anti-Spell because at least quick effect backrow removal outs it, whereas the only out we had in the TCG for EEV is paying half your LP for Red Reboot. With Appointer getting the boot, Konami has also shown that hand loop cards aren’t long for this world. EEV should’ve been banned back when Tear was searching it with Curious and Knightmare Gryphon

I get massive soul eater vibes from Diebellstar. The snake witch in soul eater is called medusa gorgon. The design she got on the card "The Tainted Treasure Hunter Fiend" reminds me of soul eater and shinra from fireforce. And ofc diebellstar with her scythe on "Tainted Treasure of Doom - Luciela" reminds me of Maka with soul eater. The mix of maka medusa soul eater/shinra. I will get her no matter what! I know she is named after belle star however who has a star in his name aswell? Right black star in soul eater.

[@ak47dragunov]

As a huge Soul Eater fan I will be devastated upon finding out the rarities these cards release at

[@TengoSuenho]

The Trap I think is pretty good because it can target anything, including Spell/Traps. You can play 3 of the searcher, 1 Diablestar and 1 of the Spell and/or Trap as an engine, because the searcher can recycle both the monster and the interruption and the Trañ

[@dracoblizzard7944]

Excel by itself doesn't do much, but it sets up the whole deck and if you open Diabellestar it doesn't even take your normal summon. Summon Excel, search Whight Birch, special it, Excel to tag out for Oark, bring back one of them, Oark tag out for Flamberge Dragon. Now you pretty much have everything you could want, Flamberge to place Birch into S/T zone, then on the opponent's turn, you can use Flamberge to special Birch, Birch to tag out into whatever, Flamberge summons Excel and Oark which then bring back any level 1 fire in the grave and get you another search. If we get some more stuff to do with these monsters, they'll be insane.

[@outsider8209]

What's crazy with the diabellestarr monster is with the trap, you can activate it for interruption. Then on a new chain you can discard and if someone tries to negate the resummon (of effect 3), you can then banish the trap and negate it. Kind of gimmicky maybe, but I think it's a good interaction for the card cause it's off the field for the rest of the traps chain and almost instantly comes back

[@roberttucker3194]

Snake eye purrely could be strong as a going first deck. Gives a free lvl 1 body that searches volcanic shell for extra extenders, possibly setting up appolusa with noir witht he right hand

[@CrimsonReaper189]

An amazing effect that u can splash in to every deck that a lot of people dont talk about is the spell card that lets u just put a card in to the spell/trap zone but it does not just target urs it targets the opponents aswell so u can just block their spell and trap zone with their own monsters. It also allows u to remove cards u cant destroy

[@bl00by_]

Hunter Fiend is Chaos Space minus the discard. Imagine having an in-archetype chaos space. There are a few decks which would kill to have such a card.

[@impendio]

They seem insane tbh, I can’t even imagine the decklist rn but they will get broken as soon as they release in japan. The e-tele summons any lv1 fire, so that on its own is 6~9 extra starters for R-ACE. They probably have lines with volcanic, can search for jet synchron and diabelle is a lv7 so accel stardust plus 2 lv1 tuners for dragon archfiend stuff or barone with a lv9 in the middle. AND on their own, Flamberge floats out of being linked summoned, so stuff like belle/the quickplay or the e-tele+any fodder (the field spell gives you 2 face up things for that) gives you the lv1 that searches into the lv1 that ss itself, send both for the lv8, place the belle or something else as a cont. spell, link him into masquerena, ss both lv1s, on your opp’s turn you can use the other lv1 into a second lv8, ss what you placed as a spell, link into underworld goddess with the flamberge and get the 2 lv1s again. If you scaled the belle, she just ss herself if you send her for the flamberge summon, setting you another S/T, and so and so. Basically infinite fodder for links, enables synchro plays, boosts random fire decks like volcanics or infernoid, etc.

[@ozzy6831]

can confirm seems pretty good for R-ACE

ok so, hear me out what if...snake eye with virtual world because you already have a shit ton of continuos spell and trap with virtual world that you want to send to the graveyard then, you can also recycle the virtual world monster by setting them as continous card in the spell and trap zones, but they are still face up virtual world card that can be targeted by the one in hand to summon other stuff and so now you have a virtual world deck that instead of playing xyz just plays a lot of good synchro since: lvl 3 tuner + level 1 snake eye = herald of the arclight any vw combo that gives you a level 9 synchro now can use the level 1 snake eye to get to any of the level 10 easily like baronne or chengying or wathever you want it could even go to level 11 synchro like pep by using either the snake eye dragon with a level 3 tuner or the level 9 climb + 2 level 1 snake eye in worst cases it can also do level 7 stuff like like clear wing the possibility with this synchro scaling are infinite since a level 1 that can float in other level 1 means it can bu used to access every single level of monsters

What if the archetype was designed only for main deck strategies only? Would it kill for someone to acknowledge their existence? Not every non-Tribute Summon deck theme needs Extra Deck monsters to see play and/or potentially be viable in the metagame. Konami realizes how much of an impact & crucial those types of cards are in which can make a game stale for many deck themes to have of such that doesn't provide anything that's never been done before or never seen getting an upgrade of sorts or an evolvement towards. If there's anything that can continue settling interests amongst players in this game, it's gotta be enhancing & diversify main deck strategies more.
