Toons - Failed Cards and Mechanics

Check out the pokemon channel ‪@thedexlogsdexlogs‬ here: / @thedexlogsdexlogs
Toons were one of earliest monster sub-types to be put into the game, being cartoon versions of other popular monsters which have summoning sickness, but also the ability to attack directly. In this video, we will be going over how Konami treated what’s arguably the first Yugioh archetype, as well as the impact it had on the game through the years.

[@thatman666]

Toon Force was not strong enough for this archetype.

[@nosfonader8792]

I'll never understand why Toon World wasn't a Field Spell. It feels like a waste for a regular Continuous Spell card.

[@qwertystop]

At the time, there was only one Field Spell zone between both players, so the opponent could trivially remove it and wipe your board just by playing their own Field Spell.

[@philipmrkeberg7985]

In addition to what Qwertystop said, Terraforming wasn't out yet, and wouldn't be until the following year. With no way to search field spells, and them being destroyed by your opponent playing one, Toon World being a field spell would have been a massive detriment to an archetype that requires it to be on the field. It would somehow be worse than it already is.

[@qty1315]

Probably because the field spell zone didn't exist in its current form until 2014. Also, it makes more sense to make it a continuous spell since you can control multiple copies of it on the field, so if one gets destroyed you can have a second copy on the field, or if you have Toon Kingdom in the field zone you could also have Toon World on the field as well. The thing about the old Toon cards is that you gotta remember that it was Konami's first attempt at an archetype, and they were absolutely certain that Toon Summoned Skull, Toon Mermaid, and Toon Blue-Eyes would be overpowered. I mean, I could see the combo they were envisioning. Toon Mermaid can special summon itself easily with Toon World on the field because it requires no tributes, which can then lead to either a Summoned Skull that can attack directly, or a Blue-Eyes that can attack directly if you normal summon a single monster. I could see them imagining how OP that combo would be and applying every nerf they could. It's why Toon Mermaid is now seen as the best Toon monster from the first wave of support now. The problem is that it was the only play they could make, and it was already balanced by needing to set up those conditions when other decks, even back then, could make plays that were just as powerful without needing as much set-up.

[@sleepyscarab4980]

I think there should be cards called "toon commercial break" letting you add a toon card to your hand as a quick play spell and a card called "toon commercial skip" which lets you non-target banish a monster and negate its effects as a counter trap this would probably be good support.

I remember checking out toons when they were first released with my friends and all collectively saying, almost in unison, "what the hell were they thinking?". Early yugioh was and remains such a mystery to me, so many effects and monster levels felt completely random, and while some could be excused as being based on the manga/anime (not that they couldn't have rebalanced them to attempt some level of balance), others, like Toons, were extra head scratching because they went out of their way to make them NOT work like they did in the show, in addition to making them extraordinarily bad. Like me and my friends were just kids and on a single glance we all immediately recognized toons had been made hot garbage in the TCG, yet some grown adult had to have looked at the near unplayable initial set of toons and said "needing an unsearchable spell card to even be played, being destroyed when said spell is destroyed, and still needing all their usual summon sacrifices isn't enough for this incredible effect of attacking directly in a game that's primarily about card advantage, lets also not let them attack the turn they're summoned." and some other adult actually said in response "I don't know, I still don't think thats enough, they should also cost 500 life points to declare an attack, and the essential spell card should itself do nothing but also cost 1000 life points to play" and all the adults in the room agreed everything that what was just said was correct and not bat-*** insane.

[@alex_zetsu]

I mean needing an unsearchable spell card to even be played I think you could work around if it was good enough as long as you had some non toons. And that part was how it worked in the anime, so of course they kept it. It's not too often they decide the anime version is not good enough and needs to be buffed. Necrovalley was one of the few cards that was close to its anime version that later got an errata which buffed it, before monsters could summon themselves from the graveyard under their own effect, just not be able to summon others. So that part you can still do and make them viable. The effects just need to be good enough. You still need normal summon sacrifices? Eh, many cards needed them. Making them destroyed when said spell is destroyed? That does seem enough to make them objectively bad outright, so maybe they wanted to go full anime even if it was bad. Those summon sacrifices are lost card advantage because you couldn't special summon from the hand? Eh, no problem, most of these were on the drawing board in 2001 or earlier. So as far as the designers were concerned when making them, you got 3 Pot of Greeds, even if this wasn't the case when they were actually released. ""I don't know, I still don't think thats enough, they should also cost 500 life points to declare an attack, and the essential spell card should cost 1000 life points?" And that wasn't in the anime? Yeah I have absolutely no idea what these guys were thinking. Many cards are hot garbage just because they used anime effects on a card that's too weak. This makes no sense even for a format with Pot of Greed.

[@rodrigopinaz0]

Toons resulted in one of the first major monsters that gave us headaches in terms of the TCG being the TCG when it came to naming conventions because they HAD to name one of the monsters "Manga Ryu-Ran", which forced early cards to say "or 'Manga Ryu-Ran'" to describe who gets what. Eventually they gave up on this, presumably either due to Problem-Solving Text, or because nobody really likes to play Manga Ryu-Ran anyway, but its a cautionary tale on what happens when you decide to be cute with naming conventions.

[@balisticemerald8512]

Toons got a really big push recently thanks to Kashtiras. Birth letting you normal summon Level 7 monsters is huge for a deck that tends to brick on them, and you can fetch it with Unicorn. Unicorn can also snipe vital extra deck monsters and can be resummoned with Birth. It's not a parasitical relationship either, DM makes for a great card to link climb with Dracossack and Toon BLS works as a solid finisher even without Toon World. Also, the DM + Kingdom set up together with Unicorn and Birth makes for a board that takes multiple breakers to deal with and can be made under pretty much every floodgate Honestly, give toons a Kashtira Unicorn thats in-archetype and they instantly become Tier 2. Maybe use Neos for that or something

All you need to beat them is to snipe Toon Kingdom, and Bookmark can protect it once if you have that in your GY. So any 2 spell/trap removals take out the board because the Toons can't negate them.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

I think it would be good if we had new toons released for EVERY era of the game, from the first release all the way to the current era and beyond. Toon versions of all the main protagonist and antagonist characters most used and iconic monsters, main or extra deck for example, or of cards that have come to define the game in themselves over the years. Not just to support this old archetype mind you, but to serve as something as a celebration of the entire series. Also I think we should have a Toon Tuner, a _Toon-er_ if you will. In fact: _Saturday Morning Car-Toon-er_ (FIRE) (just imagine the monster as a Hotrod themed toon monster and you’ll get it) Level 1 Machine/Toon/Tuner/Effect _Once per turn, while you control a “Toon World” on the field, you can special summon this card from your hand or GY. While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack directly, and if you do you can increase/decrease the level/rank of a Toon, tuner or ritual monster in your hand or field by 1. When this card is used as synchro material while you control a “Toon World” on the field, Monsters synchro Summoned using this card as material gain the ATK/DEF of this card and the following effects:_ ⚪️ While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack directly. ⚪️ Once per turn, If this card deals battle or effect damage to your opponent, you can add 1 Toon, Tuner or Ritual monster to your hand. ⚪️ (Quick effect) You can tribute this card to special summon 1 Toon, Tuner or Ritual monster from your hand of equal or lower level, ignoring its summoning conditions (If you summon a ritual monster this way, this is treated as a ritual summon.). ATK/800 DED/200 Oh, and before anyone asks, I put in Ritual support because Pegasus had the first Effect Ritual monster in the game, Relinquished, as well as the first effect Fusion monster, Thousand-eyes Restrict. This way, if you wanna run a modernized Pegasus deck with Toons AND Relinquished, this would make it smoother, while playing into the whole “Celebrating the entire games history” angle with the added synchro support.

[@-AirKat-]

Konami please make Saturday Morning Cartooner real

[@waltercardcollector]

I keep thinking: The early Toon monsters all had the same effects ("cannot attack the turn it is summoned," "you can special summon it from your hand" etc.), and that took up so much room on the card that there wasn't any room for other effects. If the effects were moved off of the Toon monsters and onto Toon World itself, with the Toon monsters just saying "cannot be summoned unless you control Toon World," would that have made it any better?

[@Snocone333]

would rely on 3 continuous spell cards to work, and despite how slow the game was when toons came out, removal was kinda gas actually so youd probably lose via toon world being removed x3 if you actually reliably drew it too. I bet they considered it, considering how much leeway the tcg gave to the anime in pushing it around, but thought the tome of text was better 😂

[@tahmay3063]

To reduce bricking, they should add this type of card… Toon shuffle: Add a toon monster to your hand, then shuffle your entire hand into the deck, draw cards equal to the cards you shuffled +1. (You can only activate “Toon Shuffle” once per turn.)

[@deathstinger13]

That makes me think that Toons could actually use some tuner and synchro members, especially if those sychro were good for their support effect(like a buffed version of Stardust Dragon's effect modeled more on Quasar, Sifr, or Assault Mode) or lacked the summoning sickness(just imagine a Toon Red Dragon Archfiend with summoning sickess) Plus, then we'd get to see Tuner Toons. Which should also be the name of a support spell that just grabs a tuner toon from your deck, and also has a visual reference to looney toons in the card art.

[@MiguelitoJimz]

I think Toons (at least the initial wave) were meant to mimic to some extend the mechanics of other card games like Magic the Gathering: 1) Toon's opening play is activating Toon World which is similar to Magic's typical opening play of placing a Land. 2) You can theoretically play any number of creatures you want per turn given you have enough mana (and board space if there's a limit) to pay for all of them, similar to how Toon monsters can special summon themselves to bypass the hard cap of 1 normal summon per turn, with the higher level monsters still requiring tributes as if they were Tribute Summoned, since Yugioh doesn't have a hard mana system like Magic, this is how they approached the cost of playing the stronger toons. 3) Toon monsters cannot attack the same turn they're summoned, similar to Magic creatures having to wait a turn before being able to attack the next unless they have an effect to do so. 4) Toon monsters can attack directly if your opponent control no Toon monsters, similar to how in other games you can attack your opponent directly without having to battle their creatures/followers unless they have a creature that redirects or blocks attacks, which in Toons that mechanic is translated as you being forced to attack your opponent's Toon monster if they have one. Of course with modern support Konami has dropped many of these concepts for the sake of making the deck more convenient to play like removing the cannot attack the same turn they were summoned and removing the tribute cost of special summoning from the newer toons. But it's funny how Toons were on their beginnings like a custom deck that attempted to mimic another game's mechanics trying to translate them into a Yugioh form, of course it ended up being awful, but an attempt nonetheless.

[@BlitzReaper1]

What if they played into thier main deck nature with cards that let you free summon after searching and anti extra deck tech. They are an old school archetype making them more disruptive to the extra deck heavy modern meta game would give them an identity and since they have such good search options a triggered summon off search effect would boost play speed.

[@ZiaGameDev]

Right now toons have a difficult time keeping up with modern decks while trying to play "protect toon kingdom" the deck is really slow with summoning sickness hurting most of the monsters... the amount of full archetype search cards are fantastic but you end up burning through most of them just trying to get toon kingdom in play and once its out it can be difficult to set up a board that will last long enough to survive their own summoning sickness So i think a card like this would help toons alot for its consistency and its ability to keep toon world alive on the field. At this point the archetype would need some very strong support to help carry the glaring flaws the rest of the cards have. Toon Universe: Continuous Spell This card is treated as "toon world" while face up on the field. The following effects of "toon universe" can only be used once per turn. When this card is activated either add 1 "toon" card to your hand or special summon 1 "toon" monster to your side of the field. If this card leaves the field because of your opponent's card effect select 1 spell or trap card from your deck that mentions "toon world" in it's effect except for "toon universe" ; either activate the selected card or set it face down.

Toons are like playing Magic in Yugioh lol

[@CoosaKraken]

i feel like if they release another wave of support they should make it about fusion toons like fusion blue eyes ultimate dragon and give it a unique effect involving the three heads could make it a coin toss like barrel dragon but depending on how many heads you get a diff effect like proton blast.... then we could add black skull dragon toon and give it a effect of wipeing back rows if you pay a price maybe a discard or lp.. there many possibilties i jus feel like they wont do anything because the newer archtypes have more fans and toons have always had more of a cult following i will always love toons tho and still try to find ways to make them relevant

[@khalaf_alrashidy]

Hi , this is my first time commenting here but since you talk about toon cards which is one of my favorites arc types along with my favorite character in yu gi oh ( Pegasus ) i will share my opinions how the toon cards can be improved. First of since the deck rely on the field spell we need a card that can protect it at all cost ! Like a continuous spell that say Toon cards you control is unaffected by cards effect and can attack immediately after they summon and when this card is leave the field you can add one toon card from your deck or graveyard to your hand ( to give them some recovery also ) And they need new boss monster That have a quick effect in you opponent tutn like ( toon zodiac ) maybe And the first important thing is ant new toon monster will come must not have some text like ( it can't attack first turn it summoned or it will destroy when there is no toon world or something )

[@dudeguy8686]

Though it's still pretty high-rolly with that need for Toon Kingdom, it's a pretty wild extension engine when it gets going. Think I'm gunna have to mix it with a Primal Seed loop, see what happens..

[@AngelaGonzalez-sf1yx]

We need a card that will give all toon cards "haste". Maybe a continuous card called toon haste that lets them all attack the turn they are summoned

[@cravenlestat7006]

That in my opinion is what it needs the summon sickness is the one thing that keeps it from being great because your opponent always is a turn ahead of you and visually gets to see what to prepare for kinda like them saying "Time out" or "Truce" and you having to wait till your next turn to make a move

So at the end of the GOAT era into the Cyber Dragon era, I had an earth beatdown deck that used the Toon Gemini Elves, who had their element changed to Earth, as part of the control package to strip away the opponent’s hand. The big thing you didn’t mention when you talked about this 2nd wave is Toon World wasn’t necessary to even summon them, a big difference. I had to carry the print out of the Yugioh rules page with me to prove I could summon the Toon Gemini Elves w/o Toon World active. I too 8 a regional in KC in May 05 with the deck & got top 60 at Shonen Jump Indy 2005 at GenCon that year, the last Yugioh tournament I ever played.

[@agr0nianTV]

Really weird that the later toon Tribute Monsters couldn't be ss at the cost of tributing. Great vid man!

[@melvinshine9841]

The Earthbound Gods could probably be on this, as they seemed to be an attempt to "improve" on the Toon monster idea. They were big monsters that could attack directly, couldn't be attacked themselves, simply needed any Field spell to be active in order to be summoned, didn't have summoning sickness, and had decent effects for the most part. They still can't special summon themselves, have no protection or disruption, and Asulla Piscu is the only that saw use, as far as I know.

[@pelotosho1049]

Poor toons they are so cool

[@TheMArtagnan]

I feel like toons would have been viable (in like 2002) if toon world was only required to turn on their direct attacks.

[@diamondsanchez224]

I think a good idea would be a Malefic Territory-like card. Basically, a searchable Continuous Spell that allows Toons to attack the turn they're summoned, while maybe also making it so Toon cards cannot be responded to by your opponent. Then, it activates Toon Kingdom directly from the deck. Allowing Toons to not be able to be responded to may sound broken on-paper but I think it's just the powerful thing Toons need to see at least MAYBE Rogue success as a potential going-second OTK deck. Alongside this, maybe Extra Deck cards that provide interruptions that allow them to go first would be in order. Cards like a Toon Stardust, Toon Zeus, Toon Mirrorjade, or Toon Dragoon would be nice. Finally, maybe retrains of Pegasus' old, non-Toon monsters that help set the archetype up. Retrains of Dark Rabbit, Parrot Dragon, Toon Alligator, and Bickuribox could be ideas. Maybe the Dark Rabbit retrain can be discarded to search Toon Kingdom + one Toon monster, giving Toons an amazing +1 searcher. Toon Parrot Dragon can maybe be Special Summoned if you control another Toon monster, and can target one Toon monster to allow it to attack on the turn it's summoned. These are just examples I came up with on the spot, but I feel they would be helpful for giving the deck some much needed consistency and actual setup.

[@linksora7120]

I think what a toon deck needs is more ways to protect toon kingdom, like maybe a toon continuous spell that maybe works like this: Toon wall continuous spell Once per turn by discarding 1 card all toon cards currently on the field (including this card) cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects until the end of the next turn. It may sound a bit ridiculous but here’s why I think this would really help: Toons are always at risk of losing toon world and all their plays but by having this card you can protect all your toon monsters at the cost of just one card from your hand. Maybe it could even combo with toon bookmark for its graveyard effect or discard a toon monster that can special summon from graveyard with a revival spell. It also would be balanced by the cost of discarding since toons always have to mill their own deck and it would also affect opponent toons making it a little more possible for people to use toon monsters. Toon kingdom can’t be destroyed and the only thing your opponent can do is attack any toon monster for damage and the toon kingdom would keep that toon alive with its protection effect. It also would mean if you wanted to keep using this spell card you would have to keep discarding a card at the start of your turn and it could still be susceptable to hand trap negating or spell negation effect before the toon wall goes off. But I think this could help. As for a monster? I think we need a toon dark rabbit as it was a big card used by Pegasus that in the card game dark rabbit didn’t fit with toons aside from aesthetic. So maybe: Toon dark rabbit Level 4 beast type 1100 attack 1500 defence Effect: once per turn, If toon world is on the field you can special summon this card from your hand or graveyard. If toon world on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. Can attack your opponent directly unless they control a toon monster in which case it must target a toon monster for attacks. When this card attacks or is targeted for an attack, double its attack during damage step only. It wouldn’t be anything great but I think toons to summon themselves from the graveyard could be really useful and I think Pegasus using negative energy to boost its attack in the anime would fit making this a decent low level attacking toon who can attack the turn it’s summoned and does 2200 attack every time as well as being able to special summon with a toon world on the field. It would make this card really unique in being a faster paced toon. Maybe also a new version of toon alligator that could maybe have the same stats and typing and level but an effect that could be: If toon world is on the field this card can be special summoned from your hand or graveyard. As long as this toon remains face up on the field, toon world and all cards that mention toon world on your side of the field (except this card) cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects. Cannot attack the turn it is summoned. I think a defence like this in a monster with a revival effect would make it a really annoying monster you’d have to beat with piercing damage or removing it specifically. And finally for a new trap card: Toon bookcase If your opponent activates a monster, spell or trap effect you can negate that effect and destroy that card, then you can activate 1 toon world or Activate 1 spell or trap card that mentions toon world from your hand deck or graveyard. You can only use each effect of this card once per turn. A bit of protection, a bit of revival and a searcher for toon kingdom or use it as a play extender for another toon world related spell or trap card effect to use such as Mimicat or comic hand.

[@GreyGaymer]

I run gravekeeper's who are another deck just doomed by their reliance on their field spells. They get away with it because their boss monster is big, a tower, and protects the field spell in a destruction negation loop while they're both on the field... so maybe something like that could maybe work? Toons seem to fit a sort of reactive "your advantage? No, MY advantage" role? So maybe a field spell/continuous spell that negates their summon sickness, or something that can floodgate/inflict summon sickness in the opponent? A lot of these anime archetypes like to turn their anime users into cards in-archetype as legacy support? So maybe turning Pegasus into an extra deck toon? Or, if they're gonna stay main deck only, lean into being an extra-deck hate archetype? I'd love to see these toons go farther!

[@RedDragonForce2]

I recently came up with a couple of new Toon Monster Card ideas. Thoughts of if they’re useful… Toon Vorse Raider Attribute: Dark Type: Beast-Warrior/Toon Level: 4 Atk: 1900 Def: 1200 Effect1: If you control “Toon World”, you can Special Summon this card by paying 500 LP. Effect2: If you control “Toon World” and your opponent does not control a “Toon” monster, this card can attack directly. Effect3: OPT: (Quick effect) you can send one other Monster you control to the GY, this card can make a second attack. And Toon Magician of Faith Attribute: Light Type: Spellcaster/Toon Level: 1 Atk: 300 Def: 400 Effect1: If you control “Toon World”, you can special summon this card from your hand. Effect2: OPT: If this card is summoned, you can add one “Toon” Spell Card or a Spell Card that has “Toon World” in its text from your GY to the hand. Would this help Toons or are they not enough?

Toon Dark Magician Girl was released much earlier in the OCG (before or just after the TCG's release). That would have made toons vaguely playable, except that era of OCG had multiple OTKs running rampant.

[@KingChiggy]

Imagine if out of the blue they made toon extra deck monsters with Toon World acting as the poly for fusions and a new toon monster based on something like Junk Synchron or some other specific tuner as like an omni tuner that let you pay life points to change it's level but didnt have the option to attack, a new toon that worked as like a fusion substitute like Toon King of the Swamp or Toon Goddess with the Third Eye that would fill in for all the fusions, and then they did Toon Stardust Dragon, Toon Junk Warrior, Toon Dark Paladin and Toon Flame Wingman. Opening up the Toon to extra deck options would be fun and they could include problem solving text or release a new version of Toon World that gave the toons their toon effects to open up space on the monsters for their own effects. I would never want to see Toons of more modern cards though and keep them centered around anime cards from the first few seasons. It would be honestly so fun to get like a Toon Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon or a Toon Cyber End Dragon to go with the already existing Toons

[@neonoah3353]

The thing toons need is extra deck monsters and more protection. If they gave toons balelynx, holly angel, dark templar and firewall with slightly different effects, that would be amazing. Balelynx search a toon field spell, holly angel protects face up toon spells it points to, dark templar brings up to 3 toon monster in the gy back to the field where it points to, firewall (once while face up in the field, quick effect): bounces cards in the field/gy up to the number of toon cards it points to, and it sp summon toon monsters from you hand if a toon card it points to goes to the gy (opt). Also a toon oddeyes dragon with a pend effect that it becomes toon world while on the pend zone, and a monster effect that if destroyed it will bring to hand a different face up card in the ed, so it can recycle itself if played in multiple copies. Also, toon has potential to be good in duel links, it just sucks because we dont have the newer cards, instead of making a toon structure deck for pegasus with a new skill, they made a relinquished structure and skill that sucks ass. Make a toon skill like paradox's skill, return 1 toon card to the deck, add to your hand a toon bookmark from your deck and add toon kingdom to the bottom of the deck from outside the deck (can only be used if every monster in the deck, except extra deck, are "toon" monsters). Also a structure with pageflip, mask, and book mark as new cards, and toon world alt artwork, also a mini box with harpie lady and bls, while also adding toon kingdom to the card trader. That would help toons a lot in duel links, since toons main strategy rn is to mill red eyes using insight and bring the trap that revives it, so, slow as eef and no protection.

For me, the best use for Toons was as a R7NK and deck thinning engine. Toon Red-Eyes, Dark Magician and even Barrel Dragon are all DARK Level 7s so you could build a deck to thin decently well with Allure of Darkness, Sacred Sword of Seven Stars and all the Toon cards that already let you dig through the deck. Of course, The Black Stone of Legend gives access to Red-Eyes' summoning effect and it's also searchable. Plus, summoning sickness never matters if you just go into an Xyz instead. It was always one of my favorite ways to get a Turn 1 Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon. With a D.D.R or Page-Flip, I could sometimes get two. Good times...

[@rodrigopinaz0]

I don’t know if you consider that a deck type, but I thought they were fun to play with. I always tried to make one, but it could never be enough.

[@CobaltDraco]

A few specific ways that I think Toons could get support to help them maybe at least reach rogue deck status, other than just "more good toon monsters": 1. Continuous Spells and Traps with other useful effects (possibly even the interactions on your opponent's turn mentioned) that count as Toon World while on the field. This would help to ensure that cards like Toon Terror are always live by having more slots that are Toon World in the deck. We've already seen this happen with some cards that need to be on the field for other cards to function, like Umi. 2. Toon Extra Deck monsters. Seriously, how is it that this hasn't happened yet? It's not as if Toon have weird restrictions that don't work with the extra deck for some reason and if they just ask for "Toon monster(s)", it would help with some of the monsters like Toon Harpie Lady to be a bit more valuable. 3. Toon Floodgates. This is like point 1, but floodgates that don't work on Toons would allow for some crazy strong cards, especially if they require toon monsters to be on the field.

[@gavinkas4535]

Toons got some support from an unlikely ally in red-eyes with the black stone of legend where in you can cheat out a toon red-eyes so that you can get toon DM out to special summon toon BLS because toon DM ignores special summoning conditions as well or just using toon red-eyes to get out the BLS as it also ignores the summoning conditions. only issue the deck currently has is not in its consistency but in its ability to bounce back as although black stone can recur resources requires you to already be at a loss and in toons that means game. One of the ways to get a bounce back ability is a in archetype draw mechanic that can net you a plus 1 or shuffles banished face down cards from the effect of toon kingdom (another of the cards that konami will likely have to say works cuz it works that way type of thing) and then you draw some cards. Another way would be to have a card like captain gold for the archetype or another toon world card that acts as toon world that would be a continuous spell that would require your opponent to use twin twisters on your cards to get both toon worlds off field for more assured protection. or could even be a link 1 monster with 0 atk that acts as toon world that is essentially Pegasus could be called the toon creator acting as a sort of 0 atk monster that can be beaten into but not destroyed so that toons can be more consistent with a toon monster that counts as toon world comment please other toon players what ya think I missed in your experience because I love this archetype and wish to see it flourish
