  • Really enjoying your podcast

    Hey guys, first time providing a review, honestly forgot how to since I listen you guys on Apple lol

    I do have a question. Given the current direction of the game, while pendulum is the least popular mechanic, do you think there’s any chance that Konami would make a Cybersecurity based pendulum archetype? I ask because Cyberse is the only type that doesn’t have at least one monster that is also a pendulum. And if so, how do you think its strategy would be?

  • Great Discussions, Fun Personalities

    I’ve been out of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG for over a decade now, but I enjoy tuning in to hear about some of the news and most of all the discussions between Paul and Alec. Cool guys and entertaining discussions. Keep it up!

  • Enjoyable but with Really Intrusive Ads

    Good content, but the frequent and invasive adverts ruin the experience. I would much rather listen to a front loaded back to back advertisement period at one point in the show than randomly having the Paul and Alec stopped mid-sentence for the ad to play. Ruins the flow of the conversation imo.

Q: Do you think it's a good idea to have reprints of old cards in main core booster sets?
It could be beneficial if done correctly to help support upcoming archetypes and improve accessibility.
Rarity Collection 5, MTG Pulls Back a Secret Lair, Pokemon Theft is BACK!
Q: Should that gameplay exist in an officially supported format outside of Time Wizard?
Yes, there should be ways to play older, nostalgic content, but it may not be in Konami's best interest for profit.
Modern Yu-Gi-Oh Decks You Can Buy, Valve's Steam Hardware, Riftbound Controversies Abound
Q: What do you guys think about a player using foreign language cards with the new end-of-match procedures?
Using foreign cards can add unnecessary stress, especially with the new time rules in place. It's a convenience for the opponent to read the cards easily and know what they do, which can affect gameplay flow.
Master Duel FINALLY Banned Her!
Q: Do you have any tips for switching over from one card game to another?
Look for a game that matches the aesthetic and style of play you enjoy, and consider the strategies that work best for you in Magic, as similar archetypes exist in other card games.

Q: What would need to be on the line for you to participate in a shadow duel like in Duel Monsters?
