SOUL FUSION - Progression Playoff

[@runningoncylinders3829]

The reason there's 2 "wrestling archetypes released in Vrains" is because the duelist who played Gouki switched to Dinowrestler at the midpoint. Similar to how the Trickstar player was given Marincess.

[@achehex]

Appropriately, Go Onizuka is like 2 completely unique characters throughout the show.

[@SakuyaIyazoi]

its funny cuz he joked about it in one of the tmt's how their coming of age was to go to a worse deck

[@frankunodostres473]

weird how these characters were fine with downgrading. irl they probably would do this to prove to everybody that they're not tier whores while simltaneously complaining that their decks doesn't get enough support to make them viable. (well atleast marincess are pretty good now, RIP dinowrestlers :/)

[@runningoncylinders3829]

@@frankunodostres473 I'm at least a tiny bit surprised they've never doubled back to try to support Dinowrestlers. They're not super old, but we've already passed the Earth theme Legendary Duelists. Salamangreat likely has more to come, but as far as Dinowrest, Pank is effectively the card that makes you forget it's part of an archetype.

[@frankunodostres473]

Battle phase, hit with indigo directly for 2400. After that connects use indigo's quick effect to move to equimax's link point. Then Equimax attack for 7100 (2000 + 2400 + 2700).

Welp, this was a targeted slaughter of Joe's Deck, but he did predict that his Rematches wouldn't be long for this world and he did claim a 2-0 this week, so I suppose it's warranted. Purple and his Goukis had a good run, so now it's time for him to find another strat to claim his crown once more.

I really hope that at the end of the series they do 1 episode where they can use cards from across all the different season 🤞

[@bulbasam2143]

Unfortunately they (or at least MBT for sure) delete their pulls at the start of each new season. They could go back and see what good cards they had from each season and go based on that but that would take a lot of work to go through and piece together. Unlikely, but I think everyone watching would enjoy seeing something like that as a grand finale

Leah Leah Leah... you had game. You just needed to place your cards in the correct columns: - Ascended of Thunder under the other EMZ that isnt located alongside Equimax. - You set Crusadia Krawler in the column of Equimax. - You search with Purple Nightfall THE MOVEMAN himself AKA Indigo Eclipse. - You summon him on the column placement you stablished between Equimax and Crusadia Krawler. - Attack Indigo, Attack Ascended, and on attack declaration of Equimax, move Indigo to a Link Point.

As long as there's so many handtraps in the game and Crossout's still expensive (then most handtraps are expensive), a singular alternative at 1 is still necessary for the game.

[@JetZV]

I... think Equimax actually can tribute an opponent's Reclusia. The card does not specify that you need to control the tribute, so I think it might be valid. The card wouldn't be on the field anymore though, so it wouldn't work anyway; you tribute first, THEN you target for the negation, so it wouldn't be on the field to be a viable target.

[@RegiRuler]

No, they're right: you do need to control anything you tribute, for either a requirement or an effect, unless a card specifies otherwise.
