i just had a thought oh shit wait the new branded cards actually makes Swordsoul play a little different. look up cards needed and was getting really excited until i realized.

AE has no print of The Golden Swordsoul. This format is so ass man, it's like shit rotation.

NO FUCKING SHOT MAN I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GO TO A PRINT SHOP AND CHECKED DISCORD ON THE TRAIN AND WHAT DO I SEE. MORE NEW BRANDED CARDS.

helping my locals do some fun prep for the upcoming branded structure release, by having printables that come with purchase(or showing up) about guides, upgrade paths and also days they can come to test/learn.

was about to finish it till they released new card(s) that can help branded, again.

box @boxcrazed.bsky.social · 7d

they are making me crash out man now i learnt mimighoul is also still not out yet in AE, but we have full power Mitsu, Yummy, K9 and Dracotail.

ALSO THEY ALREADY CONFIRMED DOG ASS R.B. IN THE NEXT CREATION PACK IN JAN BUT NOT ODION YET !?!

I haven't really bought YGO packs in a long time. I either buy singles or a deck set depending on what I need therefore I sometimes to do not have the knowledge about archetype is released.

People have been gaslighting me into thinking Odion has been released in AE too but it's not.

box @boxcrazed.bsky.social · 7d

I've been saying for like 3 weeks that once I'm done with Mitsu I would play around with Odion because I just like decks that play a different kind of YGO.

People have made me think that it was released in Creation Pack 9. I assume it got released like in JP with the other TCG imports.

You know everyone has that one deck in YGO no matter what they do they lose to or just has a bad winrate against it. I think mine is Horus-Piles.

No matter what I do or what HT's I have in hand. They always fucking have the hand of god against me and I just have to sit there.

It's two things that makes it not an instant recommendation. Branded isn't the easiest deck for new players, it can be difficult to grasp interactions.

Second is the price compared to other structures(some only requiring 1 copy). Which is key for new players as parting with $12 is easier than $20++

box @boxcrazed.bsky.social · 10d

It does come with really good staples, and you can get the rest of the generic staples (ash etc.) on the cheap due to all the reprints and structures in the OCG/AE side.

And I think branded will forever remain "the" rouge deck just due to the design of the deck so it's not a bad investment.

Also might as well post my thoughts about the upcoming Fallen and Virtuous (Branded) structure deck.

It's kinda hard to justify it to newer players as it's like 70 dollars for 3x of the structure and you really want 3x of it. It's more for like MD/DL players who want to get into paper YGO.

Guys I managed to finally deal with the ORT raid in FGO.

I literally brute force leveled 2 and 3 stars due to the event on NA. Also uhhh still having no good lancers other than Cu, this whole ordeal made me open my eyes, to my GOAT Gareth who held it down.

box @boxcrazed.bsky.social · 16d

I know people don't typically play the in-archetype kaiju in Pure Mitsurugi however that card has been hard carrying when I get thrown the suite of handtraps in Master Duel and end up having to pass on Murakumo and a counter-trap negate.

box @boxcrazed.bsky.social · 17d

Thanks for the advice.

I did watch a few vids on it and I'm using a 50% charge CE, it's just that I'm just soft-locked until I farm/build enough guys to throw at it. The best I did was the UFO stage, and got 3 bars.

It's just unfortunate that there's a long gap till I can continue with the story.

It's extremely infuriating to look anything up and people just saying oh just build 3 star servants, then it's the next line I have MLB K-Scope ??? Like what the fuck am I suppose to do with that information.

box @boxcrazed.bsky.social · 17d

It's a shame because I really liked the story but if I'm supposed to sit here and now just farm XP, Mats, QP for a few months straight just to get to the next part of a story feels so horrible and I know that I'll just be burnt out of the game.

box @boxcrazed.bsky.social · 17d

Alright, I get that... you know LB7 was released years after FGO begun so people had built accounts by the time the raid rolled around. However.... I don't think I can even attempt to do this raid till like another 5-6 months from now at the rate I'm playing.

I'm actually enjoying pure Mitsu in MD even though it's def not the strongest variant, I just like "lower" to the ground decks.

I hope when it's time to curb the the meta it doesn't get hit just due to it being an engine that meta decks uses, it's such a neat deck.

box @boxcrazed.bsky.social · 19d

shit is really so ass i don't feel like progressing to finish the story, it sucks when most of the time when I look up for help it's "Oh well your SOL if you don't have this CE or Comp" or "Yeah I have "X" servant at NP5 and all the meta supports"

i've been enjoying FGO so far but sheesh....

Talking about Mitsurugi Magistus/Pure Mitsurugi.

box @boxcrazed.bsky.social · 19d

It's low key weird playing the same deck in IRL and Master Duel and it's not like... there's much of a difference too.

This is the first time where I'm learning and playing a deck almost 1 for 1 in terms of decklist (barring 1-2 cards). A glimpse to a "what if" MD was actually a good testing tool

While I enjoy the plot of LB7 so far, the fights are so... ass.. (also I know the end and I know who that works) but so far it's been a slog getting through the fights. Maybe it's due to my account being new-ish and I just don't have a more robust toolbox to counter certain fights but sheesh.

box @boxcrazed.bsky.social · 22d

so brain-rotted that when i'm playing through LB7 in FGO I kept on reading Kukulkan with the cadence of chicken jockey.

Again I'm going with my theory they won't hit Apo till the alt arts of Diabellstar and Lady Lab comes out.

box @boxcrazed.bsky.social · 27d

The MD list is okay but it's still shit because it's not tough enough and Maxx C is still at 2.

I know they won't touch Ryzeal & Ignister support at this point, but decoder and splash mage hits would've been at least something especially with how they are so reluctant to ban Apo.
