Aerial Eater with no necroquip, lacrima or agnumday? Konami really thought "yeah Yubel is not performing well enough"

Aerial Eater is a retrain of Air Eater you unplayer, that's why it's in the nostalgia pack.
The card being better than Beatrice for Yubel is the TCG card devs fault.
Besides that, the card hasn't been released in OCG I think, so this is a way for OCG players to try it out.

heeerm actually βπ»π€ Wtf are you whining about man, I know it's a retrain, I was just talking about the release schedule for the meta
4 β β
[-]
so why is it so difficult to understand that they add cards to fit the theme of the pack, like they've been doing for the past 3 years, rather than just add cards solely for meta purposes
1 β β
[-]
Well, Yubel is not even on the tier list right now so it is not performing well enough.
2 β β

These metrics are just taking into account community tournaments in which a lot of them ban Maxx C or have other restrictions, so don't take them too seriously, even Dkayed said this on stream. Yubel can still cook any deck and it only will get better.

For your information, the Tier List does not account for Special Banlist tournaments, we mark them separately.
9 β β

This is what your page says: "This is automatically updated using Tournament Topping Decks from ALL Community Tournaments"
"ALL" kek

I think is pretty obvious that if it's under a different banlist is not counted for the tier list.
[-]
That's because it does the same stuff as Snake-Eye but worse, so competetive players are just gonna play Snakes over Yubel

some Tcg exclusive sometimes released first at MD instead of OCG. i did remember that Garura, FS and GG released early on MD before OCG. idk, maybe OCG not interested on TCG exclusive?

Ya. Centur-ion really need a big support here in order to compete with top meta deck.
[-]
Aerial Eater but not Necroquip
I guess they wanted to see how Fiendsmith perform in the DC first.

Imagine getting dedicated card protector and gy accessory, then get released as random R fodder smh

[-]
yes exactly what we need more UR in the game to get instead of the cards we actually need
17 β β
[-]
What are you on about? It doesn't have to be UR.
It's more SR worthy than singularity fiend and dipsea fiend.
1 β β
[-]
my point is simply because the card is cute, does not mean it has to become more expensive than what it already is...well unless konami decided to do that anyway because trust me konami never fails not to let a normal cute girl existing without wanting to make it an UR (looking at you sky striker and evil twins), so if that card so happen to have a reprint then sure... and no it is not stronger or SR worthy more than these two you mentioned...it's okay so it gets R...
also btw sorry if my tone seemed agressive earlier it's because my luck with the pulls was the worst and it felt like 5000 gems I had went to waste on cards I absolutely don't need so I had to craft the cards I needed and it was expensive that's why I said that

People here are so negative and taking the game way too seriously. It's not that I like Konami, but the game is already so f2p friendly and SR costs almost nothing.
I just think a lot of cards deserve to be SR so they can be royal finish for collection sake, e.g. Vendread slayer, book, chalice, etc.
[-]
This isnβt even me trying to be a ****, but I donβt understand peopleβs obsession with cards being βshinyβ? Theyβre not even physical cards theyβre just glossy/rainbow pixels.
β
[-]
People saw this card got 2 unique accessories, people assumed it would be a high-rarity card. There are very little R-rarity-based accessories (and a lot of what is there are anime references). It's something that is noteworthy, why this devolved into "cards shouldn't be UR" is a little stupid.
[-]
It was to commemorate a japanese holiday. Doesn't reflect on the playability of the card.

URs = 23% "reprints" and 61% Extra Deck monsters. I don't have the luck required to pull a playset of Infinity and Seventh Tachyon while dodging XYZ and Blue-Eyes...

[-]
you should want URs to be bad / reprints or one-offs because that means you need less URs to build your deck

Spirit Dragon: Actually useful in the Pack. Every other Blue-Eyes card for this deck (excluding Bingo Machine, which isn't even played, and Magia) can be gotten in the SD, including it with the new support means you don't need to go into any extra packs for the core. 107: Again, same as above but for Tachyon (although no associated SD). Only Galaxy Satellite and C107 is required (and thats only if you're insane) outside of the generic/Galaxy support. ABC: same as above but less required than either of the previous (new Union deck - trash as it is - builds more towards the new XYZ than ABC), so is definitely filler.
You did this last month with the HERO SD too, I feel that you just don't fundamentally understand that reducing the need to draw randomly from packs (or limiting that) is a healthy thing for the game.
I have a playset of every previous Blue-Eyes card in the game (Including Magia and Bingo even if they were necessary.), bought the Galaxy-Eyes Structure Decks 3 times and Cipher 2 times, and had an ABC and Field Spell without even going into the pack
...I just don't particularly feel like learning/pulling/playing these new Blue-Eyes cards, especially when I've yet to pull a SINGLE Imperm, Droplet, or Gold Sarc from the Staples pack. Or Deception/Lacrima from the Fiendsmith pack.
You did this last month with the HERO SD too, I feel that you just don't fundamentally understand that reducing the need to draw randomly from packs (or limiting that) is a healthy thing for the game.
- 1st of all, remind me, which of us was arguing that the HERO SD should've done more to do exactly what you just described again?...
- 2nd, again, resources aside, you know that people can NOT feel like playing every deck that gets released/is fairly easy to make ...right? I could make a constructed Stun, Stall, True Draco, Trickstar, etc. deck right now p!ss-easily ...but I sure as $#!+ wouldn't want to play any of them.
- 3rd, if instead you're arguing that the HERO SD's tactical viability is on par with/greater than the Staples and Fiendsmith packs that came out at the same time, and that a F2P player like me should invest in the SD over the aforementioned packs, I'm going to have to ask you to slowly step away from the keyboard, dial 911, and get your brain scanned because something is horribly wrong.
- 4rth, SDs are an even less important consideration for me because they're always going to be there.
- Even when there's a Structure Deck that I REALLY want like Utopia or Zombies, I weigh the odds and potential gains of the current/future Selection Packs before anything else. It's only after concluding that some combination of odds, number of SR/UR cards needed, my level of interest, and/or the tactical viability of the strategy (be it short or long term) aren't what they need to be that I even consider getting SDs or pulling from Secret Packs.
- ...And even THEN, a lot of those same questions come right back with the additions of: How many decks will this help now/in the future? How game-changing is the addition of X to a niche deck, compared to the more generic applications of Y? Are the potential upsides worth risking the uncertain pulls from a Secret Pack over the guaranteed resources of an SD? Should I invest in something new to play, or play it safe and get a Structure Deck for an archetype I already have purely so I can convert the extras I pulled previously into crafting resources?
Not as interested in playing it/I'd need too many multiples and I've already sunk a lot of gems into the Fiendsmith Azamina/Staple packs.

oh my idiot brain read it as "good luck" not "i dont have the luck" so i thought u were talking generally
My brain did something similar. Even after reading Tachyon Primal multiple times, it kept autocorrecting "owner" to "controller", making me think Primal was a somewhat risky card because my opponent could search Seventh Tachyon and scr3wing me over if I summoned it to their field for something other than Tachyon OTK.
[-]
Maybe they're saving it for a worlds promotion like the alt art Stardust Dragon and Junk Warrior pack last year
1 β
Based on their past actions, I'm betting they're saving it for a new Secret Pack like they did with the Sky Striker alt arts.
- They still haven't released Galaxy Journey or S38 Titanic Galaxy, and Photon Delta Wing/Galaxy Worm are inaccessible outside of randomly pulling them from the Master Pack.
- Tachyon, Neo Tachyon, Dragluxion, Schwarzschild Infinity, 38, S38, and Seventh Tachyon (Assuming it doesn't get banned) would be more than enough URs to justify the existence of a new mono-archetype Secret Pack for Konami. Couple that with existing SRs (Like Galaxy Worm even though it sucks) to round out the list and the pack basically designs itself.
- Even moreso if, hypothetically, Konami decided to errata Dark Matter Dragon so they could unban it and release it in the same pack alongside the alt art to incentivize people to pull from the pack even more.
Saving for a Secret Pack is also the reason I'm pretty d@mn sure we haven't gotten a Dogmatika-Albaz deck with cards like Sanctifire, Despian Luluwalilith, Alba Zoa, etc. cards that have been out for a year or more, they're waiting to pair them with Dogmatikalamity Alba System.

So glad Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon got a reprint after its exclusion from the Structure Deck.

me who got it as an anniversary royal and kept pulling it from The Masters Saga over Toy Box and staples
[-]
Both twins and eldlich got their "free agent" but cydra did not in this pack that has a light machine archetype in the banner?? Weird

blue-eyes tax is surprising tame
maiden is obvious 3
but for other one, unless you want to play pure blue-eyes, you not need fully 3 on most list (2 majesty, 2 spirit and 1 ultimate UR is enough if you willing to wait for primite engine)
1 β
[-]
Even in Primite, Wishes and Maiden are 3-ofs, not 2. Effectively 8 extra URs in order to build out the deck for either scenario if you want optimal (3 Maiden, 3 Wishes, 1 Ultimate Spirit, 1-2 Spirit - which wasn't in the SD)
1 β
[-]
Wow, no one got overtaxed, the balancing on this pack is really good with good reprints for each deck.
1 β
Red Nova can't even summon the newest boss monster for Earthbound. Man, whether it's the video game franchise or Yugioh Earthbound fans just can't catch a break...
[-]
welp, 4k gems = 2 UR + 16 SR.... yup, not gonna pull anything until i get more gems at Duelist cup
1 β
[-]
Not surprised that Maiden is a UR, considering that she is both a 3 of in the Blue-Eyes deck but also the "waifu" of the deck.
[-]
It's a retrain of a DM era card in a pack thats basically full of DM era retrains (plus tachyon). It's the perfect fit for it.

[-]
not even close in what they are used for, necroquip is the one that can be compared to lacrima

[-]
is this pack worth to pull? since we still have fiendsmith snake-eyes at powerfull or azamina wf
[-]
Blue-Eyes is very good with primite coming out in the future, but if you want to play meta the other two decks are absolute *****. If you like them though I still think its worth pulling
1 β
[-]
yes if you like blue-eyes archtype (it was a Tier 2 deck when Primite released), if you want a meta changer then wait for Ryzeal/Maliss. This pack also has Seventh Tachyon, a very powerful search card for Xyz deck like Ryzeal/Exosister or Stun deck.
1 β
[-]
How good are the new Tachyon cards? Like the art and idea, but I'd like them to be at least competitive. Isn't Red Nova busted for Archdemon red dragon's deck?
[-]
Competitively speaking in the OCG they have done basically nothing at major tournaments, but they are new enough as cards where I think getting to M5 is feasible if you play like ALOT
1 β
If you can synch into a Scarred Dragon, send it with Earthbound (which can be searched with Crimson Gaia) to summon Red Nova, activate Scarred to summon RDA from Extra, then summon a Lv 4 tuner you could Synch into Crimson Dragon, target Nova, and Summon any level 12 Syncho.
...The problem is that Crimson is a Light and many RDA cards lock you in to only being able to summon DARK Synchro Dragons.
[-]
Aerial Eater with Beatrice legal? Wtf? Have they see the Yubel power with this two cards? Ftk with earthbound trap? Playing against three handtraps? Apollousa, Desirae, Rage, unchained trap , varudras + PoY? Deck out is not of the table either...
[-]
This pack is more toward blue eyes. However, duke of demise and aerial eater is very good superpoly target to stop fiendsmith combo which is a good tech card i have to said. I did not expected their have retrain old card called ghost ship to link monster by the way. Didn't notice that.
[-]
My Blue-Eyes/Synchro account is gonna have a field day with this one π£π£π₯π₯
Meanwhile my main account is gonna skip and save gems for something else
[-]
Let me guess guys, even with the new support , A-to-Z-Dragon Buster Cannon is not easy to summon right?
[-]
No Lacrima? Yeah this is the biggest skip pack I have ever seen. No one cares about Blue Eyes Konami... Or anime decks for that matter...
