a valuable part of fallen london progression is starting the game thinking the masters are all collectively playing evil mastermind organization-13-esque sixth dimensional chess and then by the endgame knowing they're just individually playing their own games of normal 3 dimensional chess just like the rest of us. and they're all playing against each other. and (this is the important part) none of them even know how chess works

seeing a bunch of yugitubers finally white knuckling teeth clenching admitting that links were actively detrimental for the game and that pendulums were not the core issue is so satisfying, actually

Finally, we get the opportunity to put our Spy Cards worldbuilding in a work. Though there are many questions about such things as "regulation" "how these cards are printed" "who approves a single spy card", and so on, we are here to present a bold new take: this game is based like 60% on obscure roach memory-reading tech that got turned into a card game with absolutely No card-game-related intentions included in the original tech and most of the card vetting is just from the fact that there aren't too many card printers out there and most of them make cards that need to be translated from Roach.
Strictly speaking, as a card game, it is not a terribly good or well-balanced one. It's popular primarily because of a mix of the difficulty involved in getting the data for high-level cards, the fun of seeing the variety of monsters that can be brought to the table, and the incredible amounts of ham and drama that goes into specifically the professional scene.
#we speak#bug fables#bold and new because we think that only maybe three people have even asked questions about the semantics ofc#notable points: professional spy cards is an entirely different thing from competitive spy cards#and the overlap between fanbases means that there is occasionally some REALLY incomprehensible beef about deck composition#also every time that carmina uses astotheles' card in one of her decks she has to pay him royalties#this is because he approached her personally about it. it was an Experience.#the roach tech thing also means that like a decent chunk of high level spy cards players know like. a handful of words in roach#competitive spy cards is generally smaller than professional and involves shit like actual deck composition and like#trying to get ahold of That One OP Card so that you can utterly crush people at the local tournament. actual card geek shit.#professional spy cards is basically wrestling in card game form and does NOT optimize the decks very well#because 99% of the draw of PROFESSIONAL spy cards is that youre gonna watch a whole bunch of people roleplay elaborate storylines#while also playing a game where most professional venues will invest in tech to read card crystals and summon appropriate effects#its a spectacle sport. specifically a spectacle sport where the actual game is mostly framework for Cool Monsters and Interpersonal Drama#carmina is a heel#this might be slightly incoherent but we'll clean it up later maybe. we are taking a break from sketching comms to write rn

I wish people would talk about the OST in the Yugioh Anime and Games more, (so I have an excuse to talk about my favourite tracks.)

The only part of Solblaze Odd-eyes I can see as useful is it being an 8 synchro, so Harmonizing Magician into another Magician 4 (Double Iris, Black Fang, Purple Poison, Wisdom, etc) could be any between Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz (not counting White Wing because she is also a tuner).

one of my favorite parts of strategy games like chess and advance wars is that feeling when you haven't quite won yet but the enemy has no real options so it feels like you're just sloowly wrapping around them like a snake. when all your enemy has is their king and you've managed to turn 3 of your pawns into queens, and all you've gotta do is get in juust the right position, and in the meantime all they can do is squirm. god, that's such a wonderful feeling. nothing quite like it
#incidentally i don't like it when versions of chess insist on enforcing a stalemate rule#honestly to a certain extent i feel like if your enemy has nothing but a king and you've got more than one queen that should just be an#automatic win. like exodia except instead of the individual pieces being useless they're all the most powerful monster card in the game#i think the favorite card i had as a kid was my five headed dragon. thought that shit was so cool. 5000 in both attack and defense???#it seemed unbeatable to my little kid brain. also it was a dragon. of course i loved it#i never learned how to Actually play yugioh of course. just what rules my stupid kid reading comprehension could understand#im pretty sure a monster has to be in play for you to be able to sacrifice it. i didn't know that so i filled my deck with nothing but#really strong monsters and i'd just sacrifice some directly from my hand to summon what i wanted#i stole a lot of yugioh cards as a kid from target. i'm comfortable saying this online because the statute of limitations has absolutely ru#out by now. i looked it up.#i remember for the first time i stole a box set that had exodia. i remember on my way home so i could open it... i genuinely felt like ther#was something mystical in that box. something ancient. there was something really special about that to my kid brain#i'd later steal quite a few more because i got the bright idea to fill a deck with nothing but exodia cards. i figured i'd always have a#first draw win. took me until actually trying to play it that i realized i'd often just get 5 left arms which obviously wouldn't work#so i took that deck and added some actual monsters to “hold me off”. it was pretty much just a normal deck with too much space taken up by#essentially useless cards. i don't think i ever actually won by drawing exodia naturally. what a shame#side note but i still get a bit anxious every time i go to that target. i haven't in years and i can basically guarantee they wouldn't#recognize Grown Ass Adult me as “that kid who stole a lot of yugioh cards”. it's been almost a decade if memory serves#i've grown a lot since then. both physically and metaphorically#i digress

You're more amazing than catchphrases
90% of all Yugioh card effects are either "move a card from one zone to another" or "negate an effect" so I made a bunch of combat keywords so that monsters can actually be interesting on the field.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
#asks#custom cards#also i managed to make them all different subtypes and get exactly 2 of each attribute so that's cool#anyway i'm barely even exaggerating about the 90% thing#“add a card from deck to hand” “special summon a monster” “destroy a card”#so much stuff is just moving cards between zones#and a lot of the rest is just “negate a card/effect” “effects can't target this” “can't be destroyed by effects”#just moving cards around or preventing cards from being moved around#how about actually caring about the battle phase?#yugioh's combat mechanics are really different than magic's so directly translating stuff like menace or haste doesn't work#but the difference also means there's so much opportunity for different abilities like Tricky or Stealthy or Guardian!#some translate fairly well like Vigilance into Resilient and Double Strike into Double Attack#and some are practically 1-to-1 like Deathtouch to Venomous and Trample to Piercing#Assist was an awkward one#the concept is so clear and simple and cool: it lets your monsters team up to attack together!#but mtg's Banding shows how that simple concept can be very difficult to translate into clean rules#even its spiritual successor Enlist had to specify “nonattacking creature without summoning sickness”#which i think is one of the only times that the term “summoning sickness” has appeared on modern cards#yeah i just checked and the only other cards that mention summoning sickness are stuff that involve creature-lands#i went back and forth on how exactly to word it before i decided to go the shortest and cleanest route of “spend this monster's attack”#which is also the most confusing wording if anything remotely unusual happens#heck it's not even clear whether it works while in defense position!#the idea is the same as Enlist: you can only use it if the monster COULD attack#so anything that prevents it from attacking also prevents it from assisting#but honestly if i were in charge i wouldn't even print this keyword because its wording is either too long or too confusing#also the Wrath effect appears on a few existing cards like Flame Wingman and i like it#Piercing also already exists in a kind of pseudo-keyword state#“if this monster attacks a defense position monster inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent”

hi i came across your blog by chance and your art is phenomenal (i have fat girl friday scheduled lmao) but my most important question is. what deck(s) do you play in master duel
a) this is the most delightful ask i've gotten so far tyvm for the compliments and spreading my fat catgirl propaganda. nota fakename is everything and it makes me very happy to see people on here fall in love with her.
Tumblr media
b) i play dragonmaids and HEROs (i was a GX baby) for fun, used to use exodia/synchron/quasar for climbing ladder (70% of wins coming from someone folding before the end of my first turn), am currently experimenting with a despia deck that is more than 50% handtraps by volume as i spite my way through tearlaments meta

Difference between GX Duel Academy and WC2011 is that;
In GX Duel Academy, certain effects could occur in a stack (not chaining)- for example, upon summoning Mobius the Frost Monarch by tributing one Poison Draw Frog, you'll be able to activate one monster's effect (destroying 2 spell/traps) before the other (drawing a card)
In WC2011 that.. doesn't happen. Using Poison Draw Frog for a monster with effects that occur as soon as they're summoned will render Poison Draw Frog's ability useless, and it's attributed to "missed timing"- unlike the last game that prompts you which effect you'd like to have resolved first.

I want a Dragonborn!Rhaena fanfic.
On the night of her mother's death, little Rhaena is kidnapped by an unknown mage and taken to Skyrim, where she would be one of many sacrifices to a Daedric Prince. The ceremony is disrupted, and she is saved by the Vigilants of Stendarr. With no way to return to her family in Pentos, Rhaena is taken in by a traveling caravan of Khajiit and makes a home for herself in Skyrim, ultimately growing to adulthood and becoming the Dragonborn, slaying Alduin, and winning the throne for Elisif.
Now, with a dragon of her own, the power of the Gods at her fingertips, and a fortune to rival that of a dozen kingdoms, Rhaena finds her way back home and flies to the Red Keep just in time to see her father cut down a Velaryon relative for slandering Rhaenyra. Now, surrounded by families, friends, and enemies, Rhaena must navigate through the sinking pit of King's Landing and stop a civil war that will decimate House Targaryen, all while struggling with her growing feelings for a certain one-eyed prince who refuses to leave her alone.
