Egyptian God Slime was a short print in LED7 and is one of the 3 Ultra Rares from that set that are actually worthy anything. Furthermore this card is probably going to be one of the Secret Rares in LDS4 as it is one of the cards because of which people would go out and buy LDS4. Therefore it would make no sense for Konami to reprint that card before they release LDS4 (in 2023 at the earliest) and make their money off it, especially not as a Common.

The thing is, Ra Disciple is trash. We need Obelisk and Slifer Disciple that is actually good, maybe it can search the gods from the deck and do something else.

[@ThePeoplepersonguy]

My very first thought about Slifers Disciple was special 2 others from Deck/Hand/Gy on summon. Can only be used for the tribute summon of a Divine Beast monster. If tributed for a tribute summon of Slifer draw one card. Can't be used for link/xyz/synchro material. (This is a draw 3 if you tribute for Slifer) This plays into slifers strength and theme, but doesn't make it useless if you tribute it for a different god.

This is why Cimoooooooo will never be sponsored and I love him for it

[@UltimateBurstLP]

What messes me up is that these aren’t even very well themed. See, I’m a HUGE fan of every yugioh anime and in general I like to collect cards used by the characters, building their decks in paper and all that. But these decks aren’t even good for that! Aside from the Gods themselves and a few stand-out cards like Electromagnetic Turtle in the Slifer deck, NONE of these cards are reminiscent of Yugi, Kaiba, or anyone else who played these respective cards. The closest we get is some support in the Obelisk deck that was used by Yako Tenma in the Yugioh R manga, but all of those cards were used with the Wicked Gods (which I would be way more interested to get some support for, since they’ve been largely ignored) and not Obelisk (though Divine Evolution is used by Yugi on Obelisk after taking it for himself). SO many of these cards feel like random, generic choices thrown together slapdash in order to turn assorted product into a hype new structure deck. Cimo already does a good job of pointing out how bad most of these cards are, but even as an anime fan, looking at these card lists evokes NO real feeling for me as a collector. These don’t look like Yugi or Kaiba decks, don’t look like solidly themed God decks, they just feel like a random lot of cards with a vague theme of “get materials on board.”

@@amazedalloy Watch it be the amazing 2nd Bazoo

[@J99___]

I saw a comment on here that had an absolutely insane idea for support. They said to imagine new versions of the ra disciple card themed for each god card that help the divine archetype. So like a “Slifer disciple” that can be discarded to add a divine beast to your hand and a “Obelisk disciple” that can be discarded to add a spell/trap that lists divine beast to your hand. Those are just two monsters and they already can help a lot with the decks. They can easily make more Egyptian god themed cards to boost the archetype and dare I say they could maybe give the gods themselves a slight buff with a retrain? Doing this or anything similar for the gods to make them viable would bring so many old players back to the game and boost the fun for still competing players as well as anime fans Konami can be lazy and sell out with these bad structure decks like you said, but they need to see the bigger picture. Imagine how much money and influence the game would get if they actually made the deck good? So putting in the effort is good for us fans and for the company

@@riccardomartina9517 yeah from what little i remember even though it was really bad at that point in the game with control of any kind being a big problem is that it actually got worse in the following sets. I could be wrong as I stopped playing the game around the time the guild sets were still new.

[@avagrim9891]

Man, I know, a game has to evolve in some way to keep itself alive. But to be honest, there are still so much people out there, who still play with the old classics, who still play GOAT, and a lot of those introduce their kids into the old game, and kids will decide for them, wich path they´ll follow. So, I do not refuse the importance of evolution, I tried every format for a bit, but for me it never lasted long, because the game that I love, will always be the origin version. So, as you said, they did something great with Dark magician and blue eyes, red eyes and some others as well, and yes, it would be great to follow that path, but I do not need the competitive scence for that. Yes, you are right, when you take a look at the meta game, this decks have no relevance, they are not good in a sense of "dominating every opponent", but game was never meant to be. What these decks do have, is some goat reprints, some new god support cards that have no imporntance for the meta of modern play, and even newer archetype cards of iconic monsters like breaker the dark. For guys like me, these decks have some very awesome cards to be honest, and yes, maybe it would be nice to see more old archetypes in the current meta, but it would not be the same feeling, because the new cards would have to be as fast and OP as the current meta themes. Look, the history of YGO is a huge universe and every step, every season feels like a own game in the game, and I think, the path of evolution the community and Konami had chosen, is in reality, very limited. Look how many summon mechanics the game has nowadays, they can´t bring every year a new summon mechanic, this is a dead end. I think this was the main reason for speed duels, for example. Yes, you could say "they did this just because they wanted to make money with old trash", and that could be their intention, but man, you know what? Who cares? It worked for a lot of people, because the cards were classic, the game was slow paste, the artworks are great, the feeling is nostalgic and the old version of the game had a fresh restart with even new aspects in terms of skill cards and newer cards that where perfectly fitted into the OG format. So, speed duels brought me back to the YGO, BECAUSE it had those OG cards, and now, not related to speed duels, there are many other nostalgic products. And in my opinion, they don´t have to be competitive, because if they´d come with those modern OP cards, the nostalgia would be dead again. Back to blue eyes and dark magician - yes, in a way, they combined both worlds, but did it ever feel really connected? not for me. What I think, the real problem is, is that Konami knows exactly that they can´t follow the path of evolution it was intended, they have to slow down the game, but they can´t, because there are so many mechanics already.

Second: MaxxC gets stronger as the years go by since it is able to draw additional handtraps (nibiru drnm etc) A single maxx C activation can end the game and thats bullshit.

I definitely agree that they missed a HUGE opportunity. The the point you made of fusing the competitor, casual, and collector aspects of the game using the gods would have been amazing to see for yugioh. The gods are a timeless piece of yugioh history as you said and could have the same effect as blue eyes becoming competitive again for that short period if not more. It could definitely succeed because no matter what yugioh player you are, I think anybody would love to summon a god card and have it be viable. As a mix of a competitive and casual player as well as a HUGE fan of the anime series, I would have loved to see this structure deck be decently good. I’m sure many fans on all sides of yugioh would agree

[@thegreatvegeta]

It kind of feels like the way normal structure decks have been handled, 4-5 new cards, some decent reprints, and then the rest are old filler support cards for the archtype like with Monarchs or Shadolls. The problem with the Egyptian Gods is they've never had good support so there's nothing to really draw from. It definitely looks like the creators were trying to follow that formula while also trying to make three-tribute monsters work and pay a little homage to Yugi and Kaiba. A tall order that probably would need a lot more than the new cards we'll be getting.
