#Dragon Core Hexer

[normalmonsterfight]

here's some Normal Monsters i think are cool! (mostly just ones that i like the artwork of)

Power Pro Knight Sisters Chosen by the World Chalice Wattaildragon Gem-Knight Garnet Alexandrite Dragon Mekk-Knight Avram Luster Dragon 7 Colored Fish Suppression Collider Frostosaurus Angel Trumpeter Galaxy Serpent Guardragon Justica Crowned by the World Chalice Doll Monster Miss Mädchen Doll Monster Bear-Bear Dragon Core Hexer Divine Dragon Ragnarok Digitron Rabidragon Metaphys Armed Dragon Flash Knight

I might have more later.

also, one question. If a monster is Normal/Pendulum, but it does have a Pendulum Effect, does it count for the list? If so, i'd like to nominate Dragonpulse Magician and Hallohallo.

All added!

I'm a little mixed on Normals with pendulum effects, but for now I'll allow it unless a significant number of people feel it's unfair.

I like to mess around with custom YGO cards sometimes, and recently I had an idea for a Pendulum archetype. Working name: "Paranosis", an admittedly straight forward portmanteau of "Parasite" and "Hypnosis". The gameplay gimmick is giving the opponent Pendulum Scales that have negative effects for their controller. For lore, all the monsters are Normal Monsters who were corrupted in some shape or form, making them vulnerable to a parasite that targets the mind. They retain their ATK/DEF and Attribute, but their Types have changed to Insect (the parasite's Type) and their names are just "Paranosis [Type prior to infection]". Their identities and memories are being slowly erased and they become more (self-)destructive due to the parasite's influence. Currently I have four Pendulum Monsters, two Traps, and two Spells. The effects can be read in the attached images, but I'll briefly discuss why I chose the four monsters I did.

Warrior Dai Grepher: He has the Dark Grepher and Dark Lucius timelines where he clearly was not okay. His rivalry with Warrior Lady of the Wasteland (aka D.D. Warrior Lady) is also at play, specifically insecurities regarding the numerous chaotic things that have happened in their battles.

Gogiga Gagagigo: His first released card is Gagagigo and his youngest version is Gigobyte. The flavor text of each Normal Monster that portrays his life talks about his dark destiny and how he basically loses his own soul by the end. However, he also has close connections Eria, the Water Charmer and Marauding Captain. I focus on the former since he first partnered with her when he was young, but I might adjust the flavor text to account for the latter since that's the one his Gagagigo self most commonly interacted with.

Dragon Core Hexer: Original the monster Dragon Horn Hunter, constant exposure to dragon's blood in her hunts have corrupted her in body and soul. She wasn't even able to save her village, which was destroyed without her ever realizing. So yeah, gal's going through it (and she's also my favorite Normal Monster altogether so I had to include her).

Dunames Dark Witch (Dunamis Valkyria in the OCG): While Grepher clearly appears sinister in his Dark persona, the Dark version of Vakyria (the constant of her name in all other versions and what I'll refer to as henceforth) isn't as evil looking. She also doesn't have an Even Eviler Form™ ala Dark Lucius. But I went with her cause it allowed me to have two Level 4s (Valkyria and Grepher) and two Level 8s (Gagagigo and Hexer) that were all different Attributes and Types (which is important for the naming scheme and flavor). Plus I think someone who is a bit more courageous than the others allows for some spicy flavor text.

Please excuse the lack of placeholder images for the last three cards, but I wasn't sure what to use and didn't wanna get bogged down. The monsters are just the arts from their Normal Monster versions I'm referencing. If these had proper unique art, they would all be somewhere full of variable mixtures of fear and anxiety-induced rage (plus something indicating that an insect is influencing and blinding them to amplify their fear). Pervading Paranosis uses cropped art from Array of Revealing Light.

This card character has a really sad story :(

Dragon Core Hexer

[themonotonysyndrome]

Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V but Kaiba uses Dragon Core Hexer to hunt down other dragons because only he's allowed to use dragons. Arc V did have characters from other series in it (Except for the Original Series). Alexis Rhodes and Aster Phoenix from GX, Jack Atlas and Crow Hogan from 5Ds, and Kite Tenjo from Zexal. Though I don't think the cameos were well received because they drastically altered the characters. I know Jack's was disliked so much they made a separate page for him.

I love it! That's so on brand for Kaiba!

Arc V had characters from the different series appear as cameos? On theory, that sounds amazing but they fucked it up? Because they weren't staying true to the characters!?

Well, damn, it's a good thing the OG characters were spared then! The only character I only remember in 5Ds is Yuusei so I'm glad he didn't showed up at least.

[whiteclericmaris]

!!!! They added Dragon Core Hexer to a ticket in ranked duels?!?!

Pass... I'm not joining in these events lately.

[reflectiondetonation]

the worst thing about dragon core hexer is the fact that being a level 8 tuner is absolutely worthless

A day late, but we have new card for Jump Festa Limited Pack.

Kendochourai is a Normal Trap with following effects:

**Target  one monster your opponent controls on the field, treat this card as an Equip Card that gives the equipped monster 500 ATK/DEF, and equip this card to the target.

**If this card is sent to GY because equipped monster is sent to GY, draw 1 card if this card is not activate this turn, and if this card is activated this turn, draw 2 cards instead.

The artwork features Unmasked Dragon fighting Dragon Core Hexer. Unmasked Dragon is ironically Wyrm-type, rather than Dragon.

Crackship. Maiden with Eyes of Blue/Dragon Core Hexer/Kaiba. Kaiba would love having someone who can summon Blue Eyes White Dragons and someone who can get rid of other dragons. He also has enough money to pay for therapy.

Kaiba be getting all the dragon cards and ladies, damn boi! It's just his brand and style and we can respect a consistent man XD

[themonotonysyndrome]

Weird Crackship idea, Dragon Core Hexer and Dark Magician. Or Dragon Core Hexer x Therapy. She needs someone who can give her some stability and peace.

Read Dragon Core Hexer's story description and it was so sad! Poor girl definitely need some therapy!

Or someone equally strong that can be her companion. I nominate Dark Sage and Black Luster Soldier!

[themonotonysyndrome]

I have another Crackship option for Dragon Core Hexer. Joey. Joey's got red eyes black dragon and a past like Seto's. He'd realize just as fast that Dragon Core Hexer needed love and support and he's got a whole group of friends that would be willing to help too. (The spirit of Yugi's Kuriboh would summon itself to cuddle Dragon Core Hexer)

You know, Joey's Red Eyes Black Dragon always confuses me back then and I guess even now. It's a counterpart to Blue Eyes White Dragon but it's not as popular as Kaiba's dragon. Which is weird!

But yes, Joey will definitely take a good care of Dragon Core Hexer! I think she would fit right in with his monster deck.

Also, Kuriboh summoning itself just to hang out with its friends is super adorable! I love it!!

[themonotonysyndrome]

I have another option for Dragon Core Hexer. What about Maiden with Eyes of Blue? Dragon Lady x Dragon Lady, but one's in a better place mentally.

I didn't know that card is a thing! Is that supposed to be Kisara? Her description and image kinda remind me of her. Not to mention that her effect literally summon a freakin' Blue Eyes White Dragon! And what the hell? She can summon it regardless of whether the dragon is in your hand, deck or graveyard? That's OP!

But all in all, good pairing! Just watch out for Kaiba though.

[themonotonysyndrome]

Dragon Horn Hunter came out in 2014, Dragon Core Hexer came out 2016/2017. So both would have been in the "Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V" anime, but they weren't. I'm guessing because all four main characters use dragons so having a dragon hunter show up in their decks might have awkward. Kaiba would definitely take her though.

It's a new card then! This is completely an AU but when you mentioned that the main cast of YGO Arc V uses dragons, it'll be damn hilarious if their final boss is Kaiba with his dragons and the new dragon hunter card.

How does Kaiba fit in the storyline you ask? No, no - the storyline fits Kaiba. That's just facts.

[themonotonysyndrome]

I wish there more stories about the Yugioh cards. Like Dragon Horn Hunter's journey to Dragon Core Hexer could be an amazing story, but I haven't seen anyone even look at her card.

Oh, hang on, YGO!Anon. Lemme google that real quick... oh wow, I'd assumed her defence would be as strong as her attack points! Her transformation into Dragon Core Hexer definitely makes up for it though!

When did this card show up? Did it appear in any of the series? I'm guessing the characters with dragon aesthetics would own that kind of card.
