    You forgot a big part of Tyler gesset's story. He was only given the chance to make the card after his mom gave up on finding a cure for his disease and thus got the male a wish foundation to help him design the card. However Tyler's dad never gave up and found a doctor in Mexico that was the actually the only doctor at the time who had any experience with the disease and was able to get him to come to America and cure Tyler.

    Fun fact, by the way: Leonardo's Silver Skyship is still the only Pendulum Monster in the game to have a scale of 10 and no downsides. This makes it unusually useful in certain video games where it's legal and Pendulums don't have any better options, like Tag Force Special.

    I really love the number cards especially number 30: acid golem. Each one represents the person who found the card according to zexal. For 30, it was a drug addict. Why is it a drug addict? Because of its effect which requires it to spend a material or else take damage. That represents the addiction and needing another hit to stay strong or else you have withdrawal symptoms which hurt your body immensely. Your addiction takes over your life which is seen by no special summoning and only having golem. Then when you run out materials, the withdrawal slowly kills you and you can’t function.

    Here's some details regarding the Victory Dragon ban:
    1. OCG has a different ruling regarding to scooping. TCG lets you scoop anytime, but in the OCG, if you want to scoop during the opponent's turn, your opponent has to consent to it first, or else you aren't allowed to scoop. In other words, if you want to swing to your opponent's face with your VD, your opponent can't legally scoop unless you allow it. This led to a few 'unsportsmanlike conducts' during one event and led to the card being put in the OCG banlist
    2. Back then, TCG was still sharing the same list as OCG, so the card was still in banlist even though the scoop ruling didn't exist in the TCG
    3. VD wasn't all that bad back then in the OCG, there are a few decks that could abuse it and the most notorious ones was MCV (Metamorphic Chaos Victory) and VD Control. MCV is a disgusting loop deck with morphing/cyber jar engine and VD control is literally PACMAN. Both decks used D. Tribe to make all your cards dragon type to summon the VD and swing for game

    The logic behind the artwork of Overlay Regen is that all 3 monsters have very rare combinations of type an attribute.
    Acid Golem is a WATER Rock, Lavalval Chain is a FIRE Sea Serpent, and Daigusto Emeral is a WIND Rock.

    Tyler the great warrior's card wasn't done in collaboration with 4kids but UDE and Konami. Also I believe if I recall 3x copies of the card were made 1x for Tyler, 1x for Upper Deck and 1x for Konami. Although not positive on this part but 100% can say that 4kids had nothing to do with it.

    I am also confused by the art of Overlay Regen. It's very rare for anime/manga lore to be seen alongside card game-exclusive lore.
    In this case, it's a crossover between the ZEXAL anime/manga and the Duel Terminal storyline. Acid Golem isn't just a random xyz monster. It's a Number monster. That fact should hold significance. Similarly, Daigusto Emeral and Lavalval Chain also hold significance because they represent alliances of different archetypes in the Duel Terminal storyline.
    But the simple answer is probably because they are some of the earliest xyz monsters. So Overlay Regen is more in line with self-referential cards that Yu-Gi-Oh! sometimes makes, kinda similar to the card Summon Gate where the art shows Norden, Shock Master, Plushfire, and Goyo Guardian in a prison. That card references the banlist and not any sort of card lore or anime lore. Similarly, Overlay Regen really just represents the dawn of xyz monsters in the game and not any sort of lore.

    Fun facts about simo häyhä: he almost never used a scope because he didn't want to give away his position with lense flare (Simo was one of the best scopeless snipers in the history of man). He also adopted ingenious strategies like packing snow in his sniper spots so that snow wouldn't fly up if he took a shot. Lastly he would put snow in his mouth to reduce steam from his breathing to make it harder foe counter snipers to find him.
    The effect of Silver sentinel is a pretty macabre reference to the fact that Simo took a grenade to the face and managed to survive. It specifically specials itself in the end phase so I think it's a dark reference to that event.

He was given the nickname by the Soviet Union because he terrified the heck out of them. 500 kills with a rifle (including at least one polykill) & circa 242 with a submachine gun, and surviving everything from counter-sniper teams sent out specifically to eliminate him, to *ARTILLERY BARRAGES*. Of note, is his tactic of essentially burying himself in the snow and keeping snow in his mouth to hide his breath, while only using the iron sights of the gun rather than any scopes to avoid the glare of sunlight on the lens giving him away. And one further note, is that his rifle wasn't a Remmington at all, but a Finnish-made copy of the Soviet's own Moisin Nagant rifle.

    So, I would try and discuss a few cards, like...
    *Video Game exclusive monsters*: Like, cards that were exclusive to video games. I know this is not your alley, considering you focus on the TCG/OCG, but over the years, they made cards for the video games just to fill that purpose. A unique example would be the custom monsters from Duel Monsters 2 (released as Dark Duel Stories and was the only one in the series to come to the States), with cards like Soul Scissors and Light Law Medium being two monsters that actually did make it into the real game. Another would be the monster Reshef the Dark Being, who was the titular antagonist of the 2004 game Reshef of Destruction.
    *Cards that reference characters*: The game doesn't do fanservice that much in an effort to keep things as generic as possible, and also because there's the concerns that the series as a whole caters to those who were fans of the Duel Monsters era, but you might want to talk about cards that feature anime or manga characters, like how there's nearly 2 dozen cards featuring the character Ai from VRAINS, or how certain characters like Orbital 7 and Lillybot from ZEXAL as well as Princess Cologne from the ZEXAL manga have become actual cards in the game.

    Sunlit Sentinel. The difference is Sunlit has a better stat line, is two levels higher, and can destroy more than one card; up to three if placed on a column with an extra monster zone.

    A random card I'd like to see featured at some point is Berserk Dragon.
    First, it's a garnet. It can only be summoned through its unsearchable spell, that also needs a specific condition. Also, it loses 500 atk each turn.
    However, decks nowadays are great at special summoning high level monsters. Meeting the requirement of the spell is easy now. Then you have a quick play spell that summons a 3.5k beater from the deck and can attack each monster. If you don't use it to sweep the board, it's still high level for Xyz plays. If you leave it in play, it's still a 3k body that's annoying to beat over, likely eating up a removal.

    As a Finn, it is slightly annoying to see a BIG, OBVIOUS scope on a monster inspired by the Man who literally made his fame by doing those 500+ Sniper kills *without* a scope... and in a similar vein, the gleaming, silver rifle is also bothersome.
    as for why the rifle is bothersome? Simo chose to not use a newer, scoped rifle for a couple of practical reasons, but most important here being:
    1: The lens would fog up in the winter air.
    2: The scope could reflect the sun's rays and give away his position... y'know, much like how a silver rifle would give away his position.

    Reason: This card's English name caused ruling changes in the future. It's actual name is Slime Toad, but it came over as Frog the Jam, which became an issue when Frog Summoning became a thing. Now rulings have to note that "Frog the Jam doesn't count."

    They could have potentially made Fusion and Ritual Match Winners without printing any extra cards. The Fusion would just have to use Polymerization and 3 materials of a certain Type. For the Ritual, there are a couple generic Ritual Spells based on Attribute as well as Advanced Ritual Art. I think they only printed the generic Ritual Spells for Dark and Earth, though.

    • @melvinshine9841
      @melvinshine9841 2 года назад +1

      I've bad memories of dealing with the High Meadow Mage in Forbidden Memories. Him, and the High Forest Mage with his Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth. Both guys would always have their field spell and ace monster in their opening hands. You needed to either have a couple Meteor Black Dragons or be able to make one to help in those match-ups.

    • @misterbadguy7325
      @misterbadguy7325 2 года назад +1

      The Moth lineup is also incredibly strong in early video games. This is because in those games, the moths upgraded turn after turn into their next strongest stage, so you could start with Cocoon of Evolution as a 2k wall, then yield a Great Moth on the next turn as a 2600 beater, then finish off with a 3500-ATK Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth.
      On the front of later video games, the Hundred-Eyes Dragon in Tag Force passively gains the effects of all Infernity monsters in the Graveyard and lets you tutor any card when destroyed. So with a fully-loaded Graveyard, you have a 3000-ATK beater with pretty good protection for the time, piercing damage, a once-per-turn draw, and a once-per-turn revival.

      Really, I don't think a Power Nine can exist in Yu-Gi-Oh, because the Power Nine in MTG have a very specific set of similarities. They were all released in the first set of the game, and most of them are functionally quite similar; six of them are based on giving free mana, and two of them are draw cards. Not to mention they've never been powercrept and have stayed broken to this day, and they've also never had any legal reprints, so their value is evident in their absurd aftermarket prices.
      The closest thing Yu-Gi-Oh has is probably a concept from the early days called the Seven Staples, which were seven cards that essentially any deck would run if the user could afford them: Raigeki, Dark Hole, Harpie's Feather Duster, Pot of Greed, Graceful Charity, Change of Heart, and Imperial Order. And of those seven, only three remain banned. Meanwhile, some cards from the early days that were available at the same time as those cards have also been found to be overpowered, like Last Will, Delinquent Duo, or The Forceful Sentry.
