I remember as a kid thinking Ritual Monsters went into the extra deck, I told myself " There's no way they're that bad "

[@JHZech]

Not helped by the fact that in one video game, Ritual Spells spawned the monster out of nowhere even if you didn't have it in you rdeck.

[@chestnutmouse6823]

@@JHZech I didn’t even know that, when Yugi summoned Magician of Black Chaos against Pegasus I didn’t remember it showing it in his hand so I just assumed it came from the ED

[@MiiMavis]

same, but sadly they didnt take that route and created rituals with effects in hand. now they cant change it.

[@ygocardscatalogger3198]

Ive been posting this for 2 months now and every yugitubers recently posted post to try to get ones attention and make a video about the list of ideas. So it would be cool if DistantCoder, Dzeeff, azneyes, MegaCapitalG and Team APS could also make a video like farfa did 😂 Step back chumps this is how you fix YU-GI-OH Side note Links should’ve been made before Pendulum then Pendulums last. Side note There is no banlist besides banning True king of all calamities. Side note the *ed ones the best ones 1. *Face down cards can’t be used as fusion material but can be used for tributes of a ritual or tribute summon or effect. (There are 3 different options here) 2. *1 Normal summon and 1 set or 2 sets or 2 normal Summons per turn (Or Or or 1 set, 1 normal summon, 1 tribute Summon) (Or or or 1 set/ normal summon per main phase) 3. *You can normal summon in face-up defense position 4. *Tokens can be used as xyz material (But aren’t attached as material) 5. *Increase the Extra and Side deck to 20 6. Draw 1 card when you end your turn (Optional)( you’re welcome infinity players) 7. *Link monsters can be used as synchro material but count as level 0 ofc 8. get rid of missing timing 9. *Get rid of properly summoning 10. *Ritual monsters that say “YOU CAN ritual summon this card” can also be Special or Normal summoned like regular monsters. Only Rituals that say “MUST BE” must be ritual summoned. Or Ritual Monsters start in the Extra Deck. (Which neither of these can actually exist implemented bc of Drytron and then bc preparation of rites) soooooo rituals need a different buff but I can’t think of anything. Ig they can be special summoned like regular monsters can would be not the normal summoning bc Of drytron. 11. Unlimited normal summons of normal monsters and of any level 1-8 (You DO NOT require tributes for lvl 5-8) 12. *Links aren’t restricted to the EMZONES To be Summoned 13. *Pendulum summoning from the face-up extra deck aren’t restricted to linked zones 14. *Once per turn on either turn each player can activate 1 trap from their hand 15. *when a monster attacks another monster thats in defense position and with higher DEF points it’s destroyed after damage calc. 16. Both players can use both the EMZones for any type of monsters. 17. any combination of cards with mutual links can be used to have control of a monster in both mid field Extra Monster Zones. Instead of just the U lock ( u-v-L locks don’t lock your opponent’s out of the extra deck tho) 18. *Monsters in the Mid field Extra monster Zones (aka the regular 2 EMZ) can be used by either player for The summons of Fusion, Ritual, Synchro, XYZ, Link and tributes for tribute Summons. Now both players benefit and take a risk by using the Extra monsters zones (Cards like “urgent tuning” can be used to synchro summon using any monsters in the Emzones(the opponent’s or your own) 19. Monsters in the Pendulum Zones can be used by (the controller) for The summons of Fusion, Ritual, Synchro, XYZ, Link and tributes for tribute Summons 20. You can Fusion summon fusion monsters without poly by Summoning material on top/in the same zone as the other material.( for monster that requires 3 material the material must be on field or in hand just like how poly works. ( if you’ve play Dark Duel stories then you’d know how this works) ( its just a choice between letting this summoning mechanic be a fusion summon or not which ofc it should be counted as Fusion summon so then monsters gain their effects and if the material is sent to the gy or is stays stacked in the same zones.) 21. *Bring back the Pendulum zones but you can only pendulum summon monsters equal to the # of zones in between where you placed your scales in the back row. So with how the board is set up now you can only pen summon 3 monsters. So if you want to summon 5 they’d need to bring back pendulum scale zones plus it’d be cool to set traps in your pendulum zones yk 22. Link monsters Arrow can be used to climb up or down the field creating EMZones on your opponent’s field or your own S/T zones (monsters that are on your side of the field under the opponent’s control can be used as summoning material for link, xyz, synchro, fusion, ritual, or tribute summons) 23. Both And/or Link arrows just let the link monster attack the zones it points to along with monsters in the same Column 24. *Monster in the main monster zones can only attack the monsters in the same column as themselves and when the zone is empty you can attack directly. 25. *Monsters In the Mid Field Extra Monster Zones have the chance to target any monsters in the main monster zones for attacks along with the other Mid Field Extra Monster Zone **(If there were trap pendulums then Trap pendulums can only attack traps and spell pendulums can only attack spells) **(Cards must be face-up to be attacked or not idk) 26. While In the EMZ or main monster zones Pendulum monsters can attack S/T cards/ cards in the S/T zones in the same column as itself. (No damage is delt) And/Or pendulums can only attack an opponent’s Cards in the S/T zones while its been summon to the opponent’s field (in your control) bc the arrow your link monster points to is an opponent’s main monsters zones. (Cards must be face-up to be attacked) 27. Pendulum monsters in the Pendulum zones can attack monsters in the mid field Extra monster zones or Cards ( monster, S/T) across from itself on the opponent’s field in the Pendulum Zones. 28. *All monsters have battle protection from monsters with lower Levels/Ranks then themselves and also have Battle vulnerability with monsters that have a higher Level/ Rank then themselves. Meaning they are instantly destroyed after damage calc when battling a monster with a higher Level/ Rank So All monsters have battle protection and instant destruction upon attacks on monsters in this order. Level 12 beats level 11 and below and Rank 1 beats level 12 and below ect ect ect Or levels and ranks are equivalent meaning a rank 4 and level 4 are equal so they beat level 3 and rank 3 and below but not each other. 29. You can start duels with any number of Pendulum’s monsters face-up on top of the extra deck for you to Pend summon but they take up space in your extra Deck 30. *Add a secondary Extra deck thats only for spells and traps thats 5-10-20 cards and you can once per turn set 1 trap or add it to your hand and 1 activation/set of a spell or add it to your hand ( only in the main phase of the turn players turn) (Pendulum monsters can be place here to) (You Activate any spell you choose from the speed spell deck or you set it depends on if you wanna extra zone to activate spells from or if you wanna make it more of a guess which card is my trap cards kinda deal) 31. Create a separate banlist for the speed spell deck ( you still can only have 3 copies of a S/T card between your main and speed spell deck.) 32. All together your once per turn resources become 1 set of a trap or add it to your hand from the speed spell deck 1 set of a spell or add it to your hand from the speed spell deck 1 normal summon 1 set of a monster 1 Tribute summon (maybe) 1 pendulum summon 1 activation of a trap from the hand Bonus rule from CalebDOtexe 33. Geminis count as normal monsters while in the hand and Main Deck CARD DESIGNS THAT ID LIKE TO SEE IN THE FUTURE THAT COULD HELP BALANCE THE GAME More reprints More possible/realistic 1. Create (more)Pendulum Ritual Monsters 2. Trap Pendulum Monsters 3. Link Pendulum Monsters 4. Create Pendulums with Different Numbered Scales on Each Side(scale) 5. Create Pendulum Flip Monsters 6. Create Pendulum Union Monsters 7. Create Pendulum Gemini Monsters 8. Create Generic Pendulum Archetypes to Support Links, Xyz, Synchros, Fusions, Rituals, Tribute, Normals, flip, union, gemini, spirits, Attributes, types etc 9. Print more column specific Effects on cards. 10. Print more Link 5s 11. Level 1 synchros 12. Link tuners Less possible/realistic 1. *Create Link monsters with DEF points that are Red cards 2. *Create S/T cards with Pendulum Scales 3. *Create S/T cards with Link Arrows 4. *Create Speed Spells And a Speed Spell Deck Zone 5. Create a new Trap Card type that Are True “Hand traps” 6. Extra deck kaijus as new summoning mechanic that are like red link monsters that use your opponent’s monsters to summon them to your field.

As jowgen is the last monster on the field Or does it become problematic at step 2 because there isn’t a legal monster to attack as last turn specifies?

Shoot, I forgot about this in the tweet, but remembered from some of the conversation pulled up - we should absolutely have Field Traps. Other than some weird corner cases, there's no reason to set to the Field Zone, get me some purple field cards.

@@jofx4051 No reason to do this. Konami deliberately made the game in a way where reading a card explains the card unlike mtg and others where you need to at all times consult an online database to find out what the 50 keywords mean. Its less of an issue in mtg since only a few keywords are legal or good at a time but yugioh is not like that. Trying to keyword some of the stuff like mirrorjade's end phase nuke effect and its interaction with different kinds of protection or negation is a nightmare. Its also about keeping options open for better balancing. If every card that summoned from grave could also access the banished pile then a lot less cards of that nature could be printed. Also you clearly seem to lack understanding of how relevant small text differences are to yugioh.

[@huuballawick]

Friend of mine came up with a new summoning mechanic called Rebellion Summon. Used a shared Zone called the Reinforcement Zone that went between Extra Zones and kept track of the cumulative stats of the monsters within it (# of ____ attribute, total level, total ATK, etc). Either player could add a monster from their hand once per turn and use any of the monsters Reinforcement Zone effects if applicable. Rebellion Monsters could be summoned from Deck, but only when you were at a disadvantage and only if the Reinforcement Zone met the requirements (i.e. 10,000+ ATK). Most of those monsters were designed to give you a chance at a comeback before returning to the Deck during the End Phase (Could shut down a lock and give you back some card advantage, get rid of a particulary problematic card, do a huge amount of damage, etc)

[@liamwhite3522]

Combine 2:37 and 5:32 to make floodgates into Field Traps. Trap monsters into Ritual Traps. Handtraps into Quick-Play Traps. There is untapped potential in these, and they wouldn't even invalidate your dice collection, just require more trap-colored ones.

[@qwertystop]

Nah, Ritual Traps should be the (relatively few) Traps that do Ritual Summons. Otherwise, sure, and also make the existing Continuous Traps that target and stick to a monster into Equip Traps so they follow the same automatically-destroyed-when-target-leaves-the-field rules as Equip Spells and you don't have weird things like Call of the Haunted staying on-field doing nothing when the thing it revived gets removed by non-destruction means.

And inb4 "but frog the jam and Red eyes b. Chick", those are archetypes, not an entire mechanic's worth of cards.

[@qwertystop]

​@@KuroeNezumi As far as spell-speed-2 fusions go, there's no particular reason they couldn't also allow spells and traps to have more than one type? There's plenty of room on the line above the art for more than one symbol, and that would also allow for things like the Continuous and Field Spells that do Ritual summons once-per-turn to get Ritual searcher support, among other things. It'd even suggest new niches like a Quick-Play Continuous Spell or Quick-Play Equip Spell.

I was pondering the idea of action cards like in Arc V. You could only have a certain amount (probably 3-6) and could pull you out of a tight spot. They would have the speed spell and resolution of Quick play spells, but you can only activate 1 per turn. To make it fair, you would have a separate pile of face down cards that each player shuffles, and placed under your spell and trap zone. Once it is activated and resolves, you have a separate zone that you cannot access or use as banished. Just gone forever in that MATCH, and not just that game.

A cool idea is instead of increasing the extra deck size, make it variable based on main deck size. 40 main = 10 extra, 45 main = 12 extra, up to 60 main = 20 extra. As the consistency of your deck goes up the ceiling goes down and vice versa. A lot of the crazy power creep that happens is because as a new archetype is released it can grab tons of toolbox links, syncs, XYZ, and splash it with more synergy than is likely intended. Merrli+Spright elf for example.

[@chestnutmouse6823]

This is neat

[@alexrochaix8514]

Favorite idea so far

[@DoctorOaks]

I think it would be really interesting to allow for an additional Deck that contains exactly 3 or 5 different skill cards, and at the start of the duel you can use one of those cards from that. None of them would be floodgates, negating effects, or acting as a specific card. They'd simply apply affects to the player for the duel. Something like the recently shown Time-Rending Morganite. This would allow players to shift the playstyle of their deck, and even 2 people playing the same archetype would have legitimate reasons to play them in different ways.

[@renaldyhaen]

If you really want Judgement Arrow in game... 1. Extra deck monsters can be summoned on EMZ or zone that pointed by arrow (hello MR4) 2. Introducing brand new Spellink, you can summon monsters from extra deck to your zone this card points to. It will give additional effect if the Arrow-spell is an arctype card, maybe like for Branded-Despia Spellink, they can only summon Fusion monster to the zones. But they got addional effect maybe ATK boost, protection, etc. 3. Bring back the pendulum zone and count pendulum effect as monster (pendulum) effect. So, pendulum can still play under Anti-spell fragrance. But for balancing, the scale didn't give spell counter anymore because it no longer a spell effect.

SO you just randomly killed endymion, returned us to MR4 jail for 0 reason and what for? For terrible 2002 fieldspells?

I honestly think Link Spells and traps should be a fully functional mechanic which adds more functionality to co-linking into the spell and trap card zones. Who knows it might even lead to Link Pendulums that can function in said way from its P-Scale zones

[@qwertystop]

I like the Red idea (an Extra Deck space and dedicated color for all the weird-condition monsters scattered across miscellaneous types), but here's one I didn't see: Take the abilities and effects that are identical or near-identical across a whole archetype, and lift it up into a separate text box, like with Pendulum effects. No mechanical change, it just makes it easier to read the card text to remind yourself of what *this* one does without having to find the half-line that's different in six lines of tiny text, or for your opponent to do the same. Don't even need to compromise art size, the box can be partially translucent to show the card art behind it like with Pendulums but moreso; since it's going to be identical across many cards it won't need to be read as often. Basically, something a bit like MtG's keywords for common effects, but adapted to how YGO tends to have effects that only repeat on a small number of related cards rather than across the game as a whole. For example, the Rokket text box could say something like "[Fire]: When a Link Monster's effect is activated that targets this face-up card on the field (Quick Effect): You can destroy this card, then ___. [Reload]: During the end phase, if this card is in the GY because it was destroyed on the field by battle or card effect and sent there this turn: You can Special Summon 1 "Rokket" monster from your Deck, except ." Then the main text box for Silverrokket (for example) could just say "[Fire]: Look at your opponent's Extra Deck and banish 1 card from it. [Reload]. You can only use each effect of 'Silverrokket Dragon' once per turn".

You have to broaden it a bit to account for stuff that doesn't belong to an archetype (Apollousa comes to mind). I'd like it changed so that ALL materials need to share a type/att/archetype with the ED monster, but that seems to restrictive, so maybe just 1 that shares (Type + Att) or archetype.

I'd like a pendulum buff. Not full power, just not useless. You'd no longer be able to pend summon them to the EMZ but in the main monster zones again. The trade off there is they can only be summoned to the 3 mmZones in between the scales . This way the max you can pend summon at any time is 3, be it from your hand or extra deck.

[@Alx501]

Never have understood the takes around reducing the extra deck, Master Duel’s events restricting it show that the first thing that happens is unfun stun and floodgate decks become some of the best decks since they have less forms of interaction to worry about from the Extra Deck so it’s easier for them to lock you out of playing. Plus you immediately cripple a host of fair decks (e.g. Salad) that were designed with a 15 card extra in mind

I have 2 ideas: 1. The amount of times you can summon from the extra deck is limited. Once in Turn 1 and 2, and increasing by 1 every 2 turns 2. Make Traps more viable. This would need a turn 0 where Player 2 can only set traps and spells before turn 1 begins, so that the traps are active for the first turn.

You know what I'd like to see? Increased side-deck size. One of the most frustrating aspects of building a side deck is that you need a bunch of cards to counter the top decks, but also need to dedicate a whole load of slots for backrow removal type cards just so you don't lose to some garbage deck playing skill drain, rivalry etc. Increase the side deck to maybe 18-20 cards and this will allow you pack more outs to floodgate-style matchups while still having room to prepare for decks that actually matter. A better solution would be to just straight up ban cancerous stun cards, but I honestly believe that Konami would rather ban Dark Magician that do that

Yep, same attribute and/or type monsters are sent to the new zone as materials.

[@anthonycannet1305]

Time to brainstorm the red border new extra deck mechanic. So far we have adding levels, matching levels, spell monsters, combining specific materials with a spell/effect, and quantity of monsters. How else could we mess around with the mechanics? 1) Trap monsters. Similar to pendulums where they don't start in the ED but go there when destroyed and some kind of special effect could special summon them back. You can set them from hand to your spell/trap zones as if they were traps or summon them like monsters. Having a modal effect based on where you put them. As for summoning mechanic from ED, maybe it works similar to links except you need to tribute faceup traps? Or in keeping with the trap theme, it could be a catchup mechanic, where you can only summon them if/when your opponent has X more monsters in play than you? 2) Extra Deck Spells. These would be spells that start in the extra deck but aren't monsters. They'd have an activation cost that could be as strict as fusions or as lenient as links and could include tributing continuous spell/traps as well as monsters (maybe even discarding specific cards or banishing specific cards from the graveyard). 3) Spell links? or negative links? They'd function like link monsters except the zones they point to become spell/trap zones or the "negative" ones can block out zones. The negative ones would have to point to your own zones too like an up and down arrow to balance it out, or the really high cost ones might only point to one (or two if it costs a huge amount of specific material) of your opponent's zones. The spell ones would be similar to pendulums having a spell and a monster effect but instead of being playable in the spell/trap zones as monsters, they'd be played as monsters in extra monster zones but get the spell effect if that zone happens to also be a spell zone. So for example, you'd start by summoning one of them to the EMZ, and it points down turning that monster zone into an EMZ/Spell zone, then next time you summon one of them to that EMZ/Spell zone it gets both the monster effect and the spell effect. We could also extend the link monsters into turning spell trap zones into EMZ/S/T zones. basically it just adds "extra monster" to the zone it points to, or the spell ones adding "spell" to the zone it points to. We could also make them turn into spell/trap zones but adding more trap zones sounds more powerful OR we could make that a separate card type "trap links" that would let you play traps to those places...

Man I don't know if this was a discussion that's been had but I definitely think there should be an option for a player going second to have some sort of mulligan. The single draw and battle phase isn't enough to beat a lot of decks that can consistently set up several negates/floodgates turn 1 if you don't hard draw interaction and the increasing ridiculousness of going second cards reflects this. Giving going second the ability to more consistently have interaction turn 1 I think will be helpful with that. Just a thought though.

It would be nice if ritual monsters went into the extra deck. Of course you'd still need the ritual spell but it would make them a little easier to use. But, I think the idea that you can only say Link, synchro, fusion and xyz summon once per turn sounds like a pretty nice change to. Although, Another change I think would work pretty well also is that. Neither player can attack their first turn what I mean by that is it doesn't matter if you go first or second you cannot attack your oppent until your second turn. Which would be the 3 or 4th turn of the duel this gives both players a chance to actually play.

[@thenobody7509]

How about a separate extra deck for ritual material. The ritual materials must be a specific card type that konami has yet to print. Make them blue, but lighter, or something. The only way to get them out of that extra deck is with ritual summoning. And they can never be summoned, by game mechanic.

trap spells, they will be like pendulum (half spell, half trap) where it will be treated as spells when activate during your turn with it's own effect or traps during the opponent's turn with a different effect plus they will be able to be activate from your hand during your turn as a spell (each spell case is spell speed 1).

I wouldn't mind a system where you can crash a monster into another monster to reduce its atk, thus making attack position monsters vulnerable to multiple little guys. I've also wanted a opt game mechanic where, in your standby, you can banish 2 cards from your hand face down, call a card name, and negate those effects for the turn. Probably would have to prevent battle damage during that turn.

[@SecondSeraphim]

Pendulum cards can be placed in any of the Spell/Trap zones, not just the ones on the side, BUT if you pendulum summon, it has to be in a "contained area" So, for example. if you use a pen in your leftmost and central zone, you can only pendulum summon in the columns of the pendulum cards, or in any column between those two columns. This would allow you to use the pendulum effects of more than just two cards at once.

[@6210classick]

I feel like other decks will abuse this as an engine or something

[@onryu]

A new extra deck monster type/summon mechanic I thought of, is similar to gemini but instead of two normal summons, its a monster that uses up 2 or more monster zones, for example a 2 zone one, has a Zone 2, or Zone 3 etc (up to 5) icon where the link rating is, to indicate how many monster zones it uses, and still have levels on top of card frame, so they can still be used with older mechanics. The other zone, can now have a spell or trap set in it, kinda like slotting a spell into the monster, but if that monster leaves field so does the S/T. This could help pendulum decks get more S/T zones, since they usually only have 3 open normally. EDIT - There could also be ones that use up S/T zones, and give a extra monster zone in its place, this could add a new layer of strategy for certain types of decks.

If 3 zones are filled by monsters, you can only set 2 traps for the opponent's turn, etc.

New mechanic ideas Burst Evolution: -appearance: Full art cards that are treated as copying the card type they're placed on top of when their listed condition is met -gameplay: they do not count as a new summon, have "divine hierarchy" as a game mechanic i.e. immunity to all card effects outside of other Burst monsters, can only be used in "pure" deck builds and all have at least 3 effects, a continuous effect that effectively changes the rules of the duel to benefit their deck's playstyle, a power conditional effect to help the deck do what it's supposed to, and a busted once per duel effect that's blatantly unfair #2 Nitro Summon: appearance: Red cards Gameplay: summoned based on turn order with the effects and summon being an actual Spell Speed 4, spells and traps are used as their summoning material and stored in the pendulum zone face down kinda like how life is treated in other card games like Digimon and One Piece

[@dudono1744]

Other ideas for burst : can only do 1 burst evolution per turn, and can only use 1 unfair effect per duel. An example i came up with for "hundred eyes dragon" : condition : controlling 1 "hundred eyes dragon" that has been summoned using only "infernity" monsters. continuous effect : hand size limit = 0 power effect : 3 times per turn, if you have no cards in your hand, you can return 1 spell in your GY to your deck (given the goal of infernities is to swarm the field) Unfair effect : Until this card leaves the field, it gains the effects of all "infernity" monsters in your GY

on the whole extra deck traps thing, I think it's a good idea as the new extra deck type but... dont start with full on Ash Blossom/Effect Veiler/Gamma/Maxx "C" level effects. maybe a Gorz or a Battle Fader or maybe they've got Nib's timer where you gotta wait until they summon 5 times and then you could use it. Make it so either you jump through hoops or they avoid the hoops. As a mechanic they could be very flexible, you could have some of them summon themselves, some of them send to your GY/Banish, or some of them you just reveal and then could Pend summon, that's all just part of how they activate, effectively giving them a soft once per duel any time you'd use them. Also the whole "traps" part is a bit misleading but really the only good was to describe them. They dont have to be all "traps" that punish your opponent for doing something, but simply cards in the extra deck you can activate when X. maybe the player has to control/discard/send X of a type or an archetype or "named monster" to use them, like imagine if Sky Striker had to have a specific Ace out, then they could reveal the corresponding "Trap" to use it

[@DriftMaster.]

pendulum trap, instead of spell, a trap activate on opponents turn, and on one side i gains a effect on that extra effect, and if it is on the field, and flipped at spell speed 2, and effect activates, and if above a pendulum scale, trap effect is gained and a format that is deck master, Kaiser sea horse, one less tribute on light monsters, and gazelle, if a monster is normal of flip summoned, reveal a monster in your extra deck, add one monster that is listed specifically on that monster.

Imagine something like negate attack, but if it’s on the left or right it remains there after activation and let’s you pendulum summon

[@Bingo_Bango_]

The "everything not specifically labeled a special summon stops being a special summon" is very cursed if it means using extra deck mechanics requires a Normal Summon. Errata certain weaker rituals + vanilla polymerizations to be Special Ritual/Fusion Summons while the normal summon becomes a hot commodity. It would also be a format where Double Summon might see play, and the utility of slower "banish from grave to SS" pseudo-normal-monster cards would shoot up dramatically. Hilarious idea. A few example turn 1 combos and how they fare: Tri-Brigade Fraktall is able to activate and discard as normal, Kerass comes out using the normal summon and can banish cards to special summon Hraesvelgr. You can no longer go straight to Apollousa because you've already used your normal summon and Link Summoning is not a special summon without the benefit of a card effect. Drytron Alpha Thuban lets you drag a cyber angel to hand and then SS it and Zeta in defense as normal since they both special summon, then you XYZ out Mu Beta, but unless Meteonis Drytron is errata'd to be a Special Ritual Summon you can't actually summon out any ritual this turn. Even if it is, the evil super combo breaks at Diviner of the Herald because you can't XYZ out Beatrice - you already used your Normal Summon on Mu Beta. You still get out Herald via Meteonis but you don't a huge board + hand to back it up, all the material stays gone for at least one turn. Sky Striker can still tribute Raye and Raye still works but now you don't get to free cycle random Sky Strikers in different phases for free. Good luck dragging out Halq which is now slow and much more conditional for which decks it works in.

My proposed rules for MR6 were/are as follows: 1. Flip monsters flip not only when attacked, but also when targeted with any effect (weaker than the Trap thing, but that might actually be too good). 2. 10 cards in the Extra Deck (to start...not turning off pends here). 3. Pendulum Summons from the ExD no longer require Link Arrows (regardless as to number summoned), however, during a turn you Pend summon monsters from your ExD, you cannot conduct any other type of summon from your ExD. 4. Normal Summons of any True Normal Monster (not Pends, Tuners, or Gemini) require no Tributes regardless of level. 5. Counter Trap cards can be activated from the hand of the turn player, but only during that player's first turn.

ik im late but a way to make the extra extra monster zone cool would be: Similar in rush duels now with the maximum summon, you could call it a infinite monster or Boss monster.. 1 boss monster per deck which resides in your extra deck or extra extra deck.. In order to summon the monster you need to complete a set of actions in the duel or gather the correct resources.. idk for example a blue eyes boss monster it would read: Gather 3 Level 8 blue eyes monsters in hand and at least on field with an active spell or trap. while a monster is in the extra monster zone and has no monster adjacent to it on the opponents side of the field, summon this boss monster.. or Boss Summon.. (btw it just has to be a seemingly impossible way to summon the monster) .. the monster would then have an effect or ability that allows it to attack for game, only if you as a player are at a disadvantage. There would be no out to Boss monster cos when you play it, it should be basically an instant win

Yall remember in the og anime they had deck masters that had a buff that was always in play, let's do that but you have to be playing that monster in the deck to get its effect. Think how the pendulum card looks 2 separate boxes. 1 for its deck master effect the one below that whatever its normal effect would be. Ex: -Labyrinth's brave knight - once per turn if a trap card you control would be banished or destroyed it is not - Trickstar stage hand (great fucking name btw) at the end of the turn if a "trickstar" monster dealt effect damage to your opponent deal 100× the number of effects that were used to your opponent.

[@heulg.darian2536]

1) being able to flip monsters like traps would be so good, cause it wouldn't really make the traps and spells that do that completely irrelevant, since those also come with another effect for example scare flips monster of your opponent face down. 2) Drawing 1 extra card instead of your turn as player 2 would be such a good thing, especially cause of how many times I just draw for turn and open ash. 3) Give generic links for traps or spells, imagine links that to be made require at least 1 trap and have the effect to activate a trap from your hand as long as it meets the activation condition. People worry for floodgates but giving such a boon has more chance of getting floodgates banned than complaining about how they don't run backrow removal.

While I don't approve of (again like Pokemon) types having strengths and weaknesses to other types (such as Aqua weak to Thunder), I do wish this concept was built up with actual archetypes and card effects. It was kind of a thing back in the day with the really weak Field Spells that gave stat boosts to one type and reductions for another. But imagine if there was a Fire King monster that strengthened Fire monsters but weakened Water monsters, or specifically boosted/reduced Fire Kings/Atlanteans. Or imagine if one archetype was designed to combat specific archetypes like a Fire King monster that specifically destroyed Atlanteans and Mermail. Or a Shiranui that banished only Mayakashi monsters. Or a version of Girsu that couldn't attack or target Ib monsters.

Seems very hard to do it now, but yeah, being able to say "FIRE spell card" or "WIND trap card" seems useful for game design! The thing I would contemplate, though, is this: You can side deck BEFORE game 1 of a best of 3 match, AND you always side deck after seeing who is P1/P2. This should make the coin-flip less-important, and should make side decking a bit more about mitigating P1/P2 disadvantage. Which is to say, it should (perhaps!) be your god-given right to have your Lava Golems in game 1, if you're going second.

A change I'd like to see: Ritual Monsters can be placed either in the Extra Deck or the Main Deck, but not both. But they work on reverse Pendulum logic: even if they are summoned from the Extra Deck, they return to the hand/ED.

[@JohnnyMacs19]

In this scenario they should get a more powerful effect if they are summoned out of the regular deck.

[@VinceOfAllTrades]

This seems cool but my Nekroz-centric brain doesn't like it. ED Nekroz means there's less room for Kaleidoscope targets and their discard effects do nothing. That said, making Nekroz disfunctional to make rituals more functional is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

Extra deck spells conditional on specific monsters being on the field to access.

Only link once per turn... Cries in crusadia.

Monsters with Abilities. Things inherent to the monster that are *always* active and cannot be negated because they are a fundamental part of the monster's anatomical design. For example if Cyber Twin Dragon was reprinted under these new rules it's current Effect would become its Ability instead. E.g "Twin-Attacker" and it would become a non-effect monster. There would not be lots of Abilities, less than a dozen and they would be simple keywords. An infinity sign to the left would denote Abilities, and they would be listed first in the effect text box. Not every monster would have an Ability.

You are generally allowed to use tokens as material for any kind of summon except xyz because tokens can only exist on the field and would become a major pain there. Also unlike with the other machanics there are link monsters that exclude tokens

[@thepoweroftheweed2215]

4:04 As for why Tokens are allowed in Link summoning, its because Synchros do that too. Basically, you can still Synchro Summon even if the materials don't go to the graveyard (Macro cosmos, Tokens), so it would be logical to use tokens as Link materials.
