Yea you kinda cant get rid of fucking Zarc huh Well there is always accesscode to beat over it but your field is kinda fucked unless you are playing a link only deck
@@nsalieister3334 only in the OCG from what I remember, it pretty much flopped in the OCG. Z-ARC has the same protection as Dragoon, a bigger body and a board wipe. Aside from making him easier to summon, I don't see how he can become good with the new support.
@Desma he now can actually hit the field on the opponents turn with the new trap card and activate his quick effect raigeki which is a huge pay off in addition to your usual pendulum shenanigans you got going on cuz you dont have to build your entire deck around him Another thing is that now Supreme king soul is also searchable which lets Zarc become 4 monsters which all can be negates and disruption
This new Z-Arc support is really wild and I can't wait to tinker with it myself. Being able to set any quick-play has a lot of weight to it, since it also applies to Book of Moon so you can do the old flip a cheated out Z-Arc with Soul and get rid of the negation.
@@dracoblizzard7944 In a situation where you want to prepare for your next turn, it can. I'm not saying to mainly go for Book with this trap since you're going to be using the first effect over any other effect every other time. It's just nice that the trap's not dead afterwards once you get Z-Arc and his girlfriend set up. You still got options.
You play one Book and if it's relevant you can go into it, if not the card has four other things. If you draw Book it's a playable interrupt, so not actually awful for a garnet.
One card that I definitely think will see a bit of play in this deck is Magician of Hope. The weird Xyz Pendulum. It's super easy to make and the detach effect may come into play on occassion. But more importantly it enables the continuous spell's effect for only 2 level 4s. Not 2 level 4 pendulums, not two level 4 lights or darks, just 2 level 4s.
I think you are absolutely right, pendulum decks with this new cards will play "Magician of Hope", but being an easy to summon extra deck pendulum monster to trigger "Pendulum Evolution" will not be the main reason. The main reason to play him is that he is a generic target for "Soul of the Supreme Celestial King", so you can tribute him to cheat out one of the Z-ARCs without their effects negated, wow.
I'm honestly surprised they haven't printed more "you can do an additional pendulum some in this turn" I know that would be kind of broken considering how pendulum summoning works. But it's strange how we only get one and sometimes it doesn't even feel like it is necessary I guess
Madolche Queen Tiaramisu also gets rid of Z-Arc with the anti-banish protection. And Mirrorjade also beat it if you also use Brightest Blazing Branded King to negate the field beforehand.
To clarify more on the new Z-Arc, because a lot of people were asking about it in the chat You cannot tribute itself to summon itself (not inherently, at least), because the condition calls for a Level 12 DARK "Supreme King Z-ARC". This new Fusion is a LIGHT, not a DARK (that being said, yes, you can do so under the effect of something like Lair of Darkness)
I've been playing Odd-Eyes for years and I'm glad pendulums are finally seeing some actual support, Pendulum Evolution in general is going to be such a crazy generic staple for pendulum strategies going forwards
Lightwurm will probably be Rare, New Astro could be UR or SR, QP Spell will be SR and the trap that cheats out Zarc will also be UR, the others will likely be R/N not that it matters which

New z-arc support we love to see it, lfg Also every time z-arc shows up im reminded that we still don't have a zorc remake deck, the final boss of series 1 deserves better
Ok but be realistic what would said zorc card do. We have the original zorc but thats a ritual monster, surely you don’t want another ritual monster to be left in the yugioh gx abandoned cards hole
I cant believe they straight up named it ARCRAY DRAGON LIKE, COME ON, THIS IS LIKE IF THEY MADE A STARDUST-BLACK ROSE FUSION AND NAMED IT "YUSEAKI DRAGON"
Ok but I would buy a " Black Dust/ Star Rose Dragon Fusion Synchro" though. If its summoned it blows everything up. Then it can tribute itself to negate a destruction effect only to be summoned next turn to do its first effect again.
The most important part about these support cards is that they future proof Pendulum Summoning from zone blocking mechanics through decks like Kashtira.
I'm actually pretty hype for the 4000/4000 support we've been getting lately. Previously the only real way to get that high was making horrible decisions to try to end on things like Barbaros, BEUD, etc but lately we've gotten Dogmatika Alba Zoa, The new Z-Arc, Dreadnought Liebe, Beetrooper, Machina Ruinforce, Dinomorbius Kentragina. Sure they might not all be great but atleast these cards have backbone to them- better than Mound of the Bound Creator + Obelisk like it was back in 2013.
you should care if z-arc can attack all monsters because of the effect "when this card destroys a monster by battle; special summon one supreme king dragon monster from your deck or extra deck" and it's not once per turn.
@@Cardlimits only supreme king clear wing get any effect on summon which is a raigeki so you only need 1 attack (and honestly you can just summon clear wing before battle phase). Dark rebellion need material, Starving venom need to copy something to give field wide piercing and you don't lack damage to need Odd-eyes double damage effect.
@@Cardlimits you are playing pendulum deck, how are you going in battle phase with anything less than 4 monster on the field or not using Accesscode talker
I really agree with your comments at the end. Pendulum decks that have you play within their own archetype are way more fun than just using pendulums as an engine to summon generic boss monsters.
But why? why you need pendulum of soul, pendulum evolution, and normal pendulum summon at the same deck? ( i don't know the last extra pend summon from )
3 times actually. The inherent Pendulum Summon, Pendulum Evolution and only one of the following addition: Soul Pendulum, Extra Pendulum, Moissa Knight, OR Zefraath.
So like… I don’t know much about the supreme king stuff or how they work but something about this just sounds so fuckin cool. Just using extra deck pends in pend zones shuffling back, fusing using extra deck materials (that could also just be pendulum stuff) just sounds like something that would happened in the anime but it’s real. I haven’t actually played a pendulum strategy and typically hate reading them but something about this goes so far out there that I’m interested in trying to learn it. Cards that get effects based on if you summon face down pendulums from the extra deck? Just set a quick play? Another one of those cards that is treated by another name(in deck building)? Just the power level of the cards and the fact that this would be absolutely impossible to explain to someone who doesn’t play Yugioh just now interests me. I may finally give a pendulum deck a real try.
I wish like how vampire graduated from sniping your opponent's card from the deck, mbt would get a legacy support that lets him graduate from his bussy mechanic
and additionally: Miracle of the Supreme King destroys zarc with a card effect, so you can place him in the pend zone. once your arc-ray dragon is destroyed, he also goes into the pend zone, giving you the option to do a no material zarc summon with both. you put zarc into the extra deck with arc-ray's effect, summon arc-ray, and since zarc was shuffled into the extra deck, you can immediately summon him again ignoring the summoning conditions...
Y’know what, I kinda hope they release Electrumite for a format when this comes to the TCG. Let Pend have a format to shine again, for old times sake. Just embrace the chaos.
What chaos ? Does anyone actually believe releasing electrumite will break pendulum in any way ? I still don’t get why it’s still banned , either tcg are dumb enough to think it’s still broken or they really hate pendulum .
@@khal3300 They hate pendulum and so do I. Way too much text on a card and an entire game mechanic that revolves around summoning monsters on mass. It's way too broken if the effects are anything like Labyrinth or Floo. These new cards provide that now... o-o
@@khal3300 It won’t, because of the Link 2’a designed to help older mechanics, Electrumite is by far the most balanced (ie. it’s not generic), but I want it unbanned for the same reason I want Maxx C unbanned - to watch people seethe and lose their collective shit on RUclips. I don’t take Yugioh too seriously anymore - I’m mostly here because MBT is entertaining - so my thought on what should and shouldn’t be hit are irrelevant. I just want to see changes happen to shake the game up, without releasing a new archetype that makes the meme of Yugioh being Competitive Solitaire seem less like a joke.
@@shanehaney6040 whoa there buddy , some of us still want to play the game and right now the only playable format is tcg because maxx-c is banned, ocg and md formats are both unplayable garbage, we tolerate master duel because it’s mechanically well designed and pretty, but if they made a game like it with tcg banlist i would drop md in a heartbeat, fuck maxx-c and the idiots that keep defending it because they don’t know how to play the game .
Weird take incoming. While Im a returning Yugiboomer who got in because of COVID and lack the real experience, to me, Pends feel like the pile decks of yesteryear. Like GOAT which is just a collection of good stuff. Funny how most Yugiboomers just hate the mechanic. However, while the decks are cool and do cool things, the ""optimal"" end boards for SHS being non-archetypal to me takes the fun out of it. I really enjoy a pile of Gate Guardian and SHS as much as the next guy but when I create a combo I always have that dumb thought in the back of my mind; "Oh, I could make Baronne here". TLDR: Farfa is right, less generics and more archetypal bosses
Well pend have decent boss monsters on thier own but the bigger streght of the mechanic was the ability to play a flexible tool box in the extra deck thier we're desing to integrate all the extra decks mechanic in one deck. The Golden era pend decks could do fusion, lv 7,8,9,11 synchro plays and rank 3,4,6,7 plays without problems
"Big, incestuous slurry that is Pendulum these day..." We all know this descriptor applies to D-Link, Cyberse, Dinos and Synchrons as well, right? Right...?
yea but see since those arent pendulum decks its completely ok and very fun and cool. i do agree though it is kinda silly to have such a double standard, even if i do find pend pile kinda boring as a pend player
@@michaelfletcher684 at some point, Pendulum was the highest ceiling combo strategy in the game at the cost of being unable to play going-second staples. Since then, more powerful combo decks have popped off in the game that don't even have that drawback. Holding pendulums with such disdain when they hardly stack up in today's meta - even if and when their power cards get unbanned - just contributes to the false stigma.
feels kinda odd to see a variant/evolution of Z-ARC function like an extender rather than an even more bonkers version of the OG like other boss monsters of its kind, but guess gotta wait and see how helpful it can be in a Z-ARC pendulum deck
So just out of curiosity, the new boss monster has Odd-Eyes in its name, but because of its effect meaning that its always treated as Z-ARC, its not an Odd-eyes monster meaning it doesn't benefit from Odd-Eyes support cards. Am I correct?
@@halyoalex8942 No it does not unless Konami says so. It’s the same scenario as warrior of Atlantis I believe. So unless they make a ruling that says “yes this does work” it doesn’t. Because the text on the card says it no longer is an odd-eyes card.
Couldn’t the trap that fusions Zarc be used to summon the new one to get one of the floodgate pendulums like the amorphages? Add that to summoning a bunch of negates with the material pendulum gets……
All i see is a abyss actor extender, set soul of the supreme king, set miracle of the supreme king, pass. On standby activate soul of the supreme king to summon out Z-arc, then wait for a dust to then activate miracle, set abyss script dramatic story, that gets popped which then places 5 abyss scripts onto the field
Question: Do the pendulum effects of pendulum monsters count as monster effects or spell effects in relation to cards immune to a specific type. Say for example you have two Cyber dragon infinities, one equipped with a-assault core (immune to monster effects) and the other with b-buster drake (immune to spell effects) while your opponent has Zarc’s floodgate effect active (xyz monsters cannot activate their effects). Which one, if either, would be able to activate its effect
Pendulum monsters in the Pendulum Scales are considered Spell Cards and their effects Spell Effects. Also they share the weakness of Continuous/Field Spells so if you remove them while their effects resolve, they won't resolve properly ("mst negate") In your specific example, Z-arc VS Infinity equipped with B-Buster, your Infinity can activate its effects because Z-arc applies on the monsters. If it was worded like Mystic Mine then it would work even on unaffected monsters but this isn't the case. You can even check Five Rainbow Magician for a similar case, there unaffected monsters CANNOT activate their effects because it restricts "the player" but they still can attack because that part restricts "the monsters" themselves.
Pendulum monsters in the pendulum zone are considered spell cards, and are therefore unable to affect cards which are unaffected by spell cards or effects.
My man MBT outright deceiving us by saying he played every pendulums when he denied Vaylantz their hour of glory. Understandable though, those cards are both pendulums and entirely a different game.
The community turned upside down when the supreme king returned but bathed in the light and now all dimensions will bow before the supreme celestial king and we’re there is light there darkness so the supreme king shall return
I have the feeling your playing 2 original Zarc + 1 Zarc lite (my decks a pretty pure pend. Magicians with a Zarc focus) I'm gonna use and abuse these cards when it launches
If you fusion Z-ARC on your opponent's turn with the trap, and have the CT spell, doesn't that essentially let you accel pendulum summon on your opponent's turn, bc it's a non-main deck pendulum? I feel like that's insane to deploy another wave of pends from your hand in addition to the Z-ARC summon nuke and stuff, as a quick effect
I'm pretty sure you can't, bcs it's worded if you summoned this turn, so you have to activate it manually, and CS can only be manually activated on your turn
You can't because it's a conditional ignition, not a trigger effect. A benefit of this is, as long as you fulfilled the condition, you can choose to summon whenever.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't summoning Zarc with the trap meet the activation requirements for Evo's 2nd effect, letting you Pend summon on your opponent's turn. And wouldn't THAT pend summon trigger Lightwurms special summon? Which would in turn let you Sunchro/Xyz on your opponents turn. At least I'm guessing that's how it works , b.c. Lightwurms effect to Synchro/XYZ on summon makes NO SENSE if you're only meant to summon it on your own turn.
lightwurm scale effect allow it to summon itself when a monster is special summon and you control Z-Arc + 1 other pendulum (like darkwurm) so you make Z-arc, nuke field opponent try to recover and you summon lightwurm nuke field again.
This decj basically says "What do I do if my opponent makes it to there second turn" you die that's it. Also what's with people just hating battle phase effects? Like I know battle traps aren't popular but you do know that effect on the spell thats makes zarc a multi attacker STRAIGHT UP FREAKING KILLS YOU RIGHT? 2 options over commite and die, under commit and not out zarc before the rest of the deck finishes you off.
So whats stupid is that soul of the celestial, you can banish the 4 magicians and still not have Z-Arc negated because They are always treated as "X Dragon" cards. Literally to make this card Actually have a possible negation was to make it needing to have dragon types whose names include the 4 summoned mechanic drsgons then Boom. It actually has counter play
new zarc scale from deck isnt opt. summon off tributing zarc, scale from deck, destroy, pend effect to summon, scale from deck again. high potential love it. pend is difficult to pilot but not gamebreaking
if they want to make it easier to summon Z-arc, then make 4 Dragon Pendulum monsters, that are treated as Penulum Dragon, Fusion dragon, XYZ dragon and Synchro Dragon, also when they normal or S summon add one level 4 Dragon pendulum or Spellcaster Pendulum monster from Deck to hand. then you can use Future Fusion to summon, Z-arc and more fusion spells. also GIVE US back Pendulums to be able to summon more with out Link monsters needed
you can already use the magician to do that. They already treated as fusion/synchro/xyz/pendulum dragon. The trap is easily searchable by gate magician which you have like 20 ways to get it.
the thing is that only work when summoning with Astro or chrono. Since Zarc when fusion summoning it you have to use 4 dragon that are that specific type
@@takodachi1239 yea but I learn the Magician versions you can't use the fusions spells to summon Z-arc with them, you can only use the 2 pendulum monsters that remove the cards from play to summon Z-arc. so unless you make a deck using 3 copy's of each magician and the 2 to remove to summon them. it depend on luck of the draw. unlike the one turn kill decks... and all the hand traps Everyone seem to always have in their hands at that the start of the duels
These cards are way better played pure with Magician, odd eyes and performapals than getting splashed into pend piles , literally the last good pend pile was in 2019 yet people treat every pend deck as its the same pile deck when ddd , abyss actor , solfachords and dracoslayers exist
@@number-qx1kw These cards can even stand alone in a trap-heavy control build. All they need is a generic Rank 4 (Magician of Hope) for everything to be live, then they just sequence their traps for a boardwipe + pseudo d-barrier, while a single darkurm left on the field also gives them a free Raigeki and a Spell activation gives them a rank 8 + a Crystal Wing synchro (Crystal Clear Wing if you want to negate S/T effects) This can allow them to work differently than the wombo combo pendulums in order to have more main deck space for handtraps and not auto lose against Shifter/Droll.
@@number-qx1kw agree, just look at any OCG list, beside Zefra auroradon turbo, everything else play pure. Magician even cut curtain raiser for vaylantz field spell.
I love pendulums don’t understand the dislike of them if anything links deserve more dislike that’s what continues to make pends good. But I just play pure dimension dragons/magician so idk
Rank 4 toolbox made Pendulums BROKEN in their first tier 0 format, then Firewall/Electrumite in their 2nd. Pendulum is such a refreshing mechanic, but unfortunately due to powercreep they kept making them stronger while initially the most you could get out of them were recurring materials for Tributes and Synchros.
to me their basic fundamental nature is wacky. and not in a way thats has a lot of immediately interesting permutations or integrate well with other mechanics. links I at least like in concept even if decks might be samish. the idea that every monster equals 1 link rating, but links possibly have more promotes interesting synergies even with non link cards. adding to that the arrows and connection actually makes placement of cards somewhat important. while pendulums just letting you special summon everything in your hand, and destroyed pendulums going face up to the extra deck somehow seems both seems both obtuse and overpermisive at the same time. Links fee like a progression from xyz and synchro as extra deck mechanics that utilizes stuff already in the game, while pendulums just made a whole new mechinc that doesn’t follow a “rhyme” like the others do. not that there arent fun pendulum decks, but they feel kinda out of left feild with how they function, not quite synergizing. its not about meme answers like card length, they just feel odd (eyes).
This entire support wave exists to say "were killing electrumite, hes never coming back, but we ARE sorry"
Homegirl doesn't deserve it, specially since that damn card is doing squat in the OCG
@@Luchux177 eh, if killing it means they don't have to underdesign future pendulum support BECAUSE of it existing in the ocg, I'll take it.

I think that's there so that the card mentions Z-ARC, mostly
@@dracoblizzard7944 how you actually read z-arc and the Supreme king dragon monsters to see how OP that is
@@Cardlimits only supreme king clear wing get any effect on summon which is a raigeki so you only need 1 attack (and honestly you can just summon clear wing before battle phase). Dark rebellion need material, Starving venom need to copy something to give field wide piercing and you don't lack damage to need Odd-eyes double damage effect.
@@takodachi1239 so summoning multiple beaters that will likely attack directly is pointless?
@@Cardlimits you are playing pendulum deck, how are you going in battle phase with anything less than 4 monster on the field or not using Accesscode talker
I really agree with your comments at the end. Pendulum decks that have you play within their own archetype are way more fun than just using pendulums as an engine to summon generic boss monsters.
we can now pendulum summon 4 times in one turn
Zarc only I think
But why? why you need pendulum of soul, pendulum evolution, and normal pendulum summon at the same deck? ( i don't know the last extra pend summon from )
@@jps_user20 extra pendulum
3 times actually. The inherent Pendulum Summon, Pendulum Evolution and only one of the following addition: Soul Pendulum, Extra Pendulum, Moissa Knight, OR Zefraath.
@@MVAS-mp9oo Zefraath needs to summon himself on the extra monster zone... Making his second pendulum summon useless.
So like… I don’t know much about the supreme king stuff or how they work but something about this just sounds so fuckin cool.
Just using extra deck pends in pend zones shuffling back, fusing using extra deck materials (that could also just be pendulum stuff) just sounds like something that would happened in the anime but it’s real. I haven’t actually played a pendulum strategy and typically hate reading them but something about this goes so far out there that I’m interested in trying to learn it.
Cards that get effects based on if you summon face down pendulums from the extra deck? Just set a quick play? Another one of those cards that is treated by another name(in deck building)? Just the power level of the cards and the fact that this would be absolutely impossible to explain to someone who doesn’t play Yugioh just now interests me. I may finally give a pendulum deck a real try.
I wish like how vampire graduated from sniping your opponent's card from the deck, mbt would get a legacy support that lets him graduate from his bussy mechanic
and additionally: Miracle of the Supreme King destroys zarc with a card effect, so you can place him in the pend zone. once your arc-ray dragon is destroyed, he also goes into the pend zone, giving you the option to do a no material zarc summon with both. you put zarc into the extra deck with arc-ray's effect, summon arc-ray, and since zarc was shuffled into the extra deck, you can immediately summon him again ignoring the summoning conditions...
That last part where you got cut off in the intro and then you said second coming, I just died laughing
Y’know what, I kinda hope they release Electrumite for a format when this comes to the TCG.
Let Pend have a format to shine again, for old times sake. Just embrace the chaos.
What chaos ? Does anyone actually believe releasing electrumite will break pendulum in any way ? I still don’t get why it’s still banned , either tcg are dumb enough to think it’s still broken or they really hate pendulum .
@@khal3300 They hate pendulum and so do I. Way too much text on a card and an entire game mechanic that revolves around summoning monsters on mass. It's way too broken if the effects are anything like Labyrinth or Floo. These new cards provide that now... o-o
@@khal3300 It won’t, because of the Link 2’a designed to help older mechanics, Electrumite is by far the most balanced (ie. it’s not generic), but I want it unbanned for the same reason I want Maxx C unbanned - to watch people seethe and lose their collective shit on RUclips.
I don’t take Yugioh too seriously anymore - I’m mostly here because MBT is entertaining - so my thought on what should and shouldn’t be hit are irrelevant. I just want to see changes happen to shake the game up, without releasing a new archetype that makes the meme of Yugioh being Competitive Solitaire seem less like a joke.
@@resphantom skill issue , imagine hating an archetype because you can’t afford to read cards
@@shanehaney6040 whoa there buddy , some of us still want to play the game and right now the only playable format is tcg because maxx-c is banned, ocg and md formats are both unplayable garbage, we tolerate master duel because it’s mechanically well designed and pretty, but if they made a game like it with tcg banlist i would drop md in a heartbeat, fuck maxx-c and the idiots that keep defending it because they don’t know how to play the game .
New Astrograph looks like a chad 🗿
Weird take incoming. While Im a returning Yugiboomer who got in because of COVID and lack the real experience, to me, Pends feel like the pile decks of yesteryear. Like GOAT which is just a collection of good stuff. Funny how most Yugiboomers just hate the mechanic.
However, while the decks are cool and do cool things, the ""optimal"" end boards for SHS being non-archetypal to me takes the fun out of it. I really enjoy a pile of Gate Guardian and SHS as much as the next guy but when I create a combo I always have that dumb thought in the back of my mind; "Oh, I could make Baronne here".
TLDR: Farfa is right, less generics and more archetypal bosses
Well pend have decent boss monsters on thier own but the bigger streght of the mechanic was the ability to play a flexible tool box in the extra deck thier we're desing to integrate all the extra decks mechanic in one deck. The Golden era pend decks could do fusion, lv 7,8,9,11 synchro plays and rank 3,4,6,7 plays without problems
"Big, incestuous slurry that is Pendulum these day..."
We all know this descriptor applies to D-Link, Cyberse, Dinos and Synchrons as well, right?
Right...?
yea but see since those arent pendulum decks its completely ok and very fun and cool.
i do agree though it is kinda silly to have such a double standard, even if i do find pend pile kinda boring as a pend player
seriously really it is
??????? Yes people hate cyberse for this exact same reason what is your point? Also D link isn't something Konami made, it's a player made pile deck.
@@michaelfletcher684 at some point, Pendulum was the highest ceiling combo strategy in the game at the cost of being unable to play going-second staples.
Since then, more powerful combo decks have popped off in the game that don't even have that drawback. Holding pendulums with such disdain when they hardly stack up in today's meta - even if and when their power cards get unbanned - just contributes to the false stigma.
Yeah and people hate that part of those decks. What's your point?
feels kinda odd to see a variant/evolution of Z-ARC function like an extender rather than an even more bonkers version of the OG like other boss monsters of its kind, but guess gotta wait and see how helpful it can be in a Z-ARC pendulum deck
So just out of curiosity, the new boss monster has Odd-Eyes in its name, but because of its effect meaning that its always treated as Z-ARC, its not an Odd-eyes monster meaning it doesn't benefit from Odd-Eyes support cards. Am I correct?
It might be treated as an “Odd-Eyes” monster but be named “Supreme King Z-ARC,” Idk
@@halyoalex8942 No it does not unless Konami says so. It’s the same scenario as warrior of Atlantis I believe. So unless they make a ruling that says “yes this does work” it doesn’t. Because the text on the card says it no longer is an odd-eyes card.
Won't be treated as odd-eyes unless konami is really smoking some strong stuff
PLEASE. is there a discord where I cook with pendulum players?
I'm excited to see what you make ☺️
holy what the freak! is that a mother gosh darn MBT Clips upload !?
What the scallop!!!
Commentating for MBTs numbers. Go get em champ.
Dracoslayers need some new Dracoverlords boss monsters and new pendulum masterpiece world be awesome
Welp, time to wait 3 years for it to come to MD.
Hail to the Supreme King!!!!!
“Pends suck you’ll never have to read them” they said
Couldn’t the trap that fusions Zarc be used to summon the new one to get one of the floodgate pendulums like the amorphages? Add that to summoning a bunch of negates with the material pendulum gets……
I like how the community has to go back and forth on what was the bigger mistake, pendulums or links.
It feels like I'm watching some one get a stroke.
All i see is a abyss actor extender, set soul of the supreme king, set miracle of the supreme king, pass.
On standby activate soul of the supreme king to summon out Z-arc, then wait for a dust to then activate miracle, set abyss script dramatic story, that gets popped which then places 5 abyss scripts onto the field
6:53 is this card better with Exeed the Pendulum?
crazy to think this came out just now in md
UNFORTUNATELY, NOT ABLE TO DO THAT LAST ONE!
wisdom eye places the new card in the pendulum zone
okay right away mbt i'll follow all your steps at the beginning of the video
Kinda suprising that they try to bring z-arc back it just had new support and now it gets another one
Interesting cards, I'm confident on weilding these cards. I hope come to MD soon.
Question: Do the pendulum effects of pendulum monsters count as monster effects or spell effects in relation to cards immune to a specific type.
Say for example you have two Cyber dragon infinities, one equipped with a-assault core (immune to monster effects) and the other with b-buster drake (immune to spell effects) while your opponent has Zarc’s floodgate effect active (xyz monsters cannot activate their effects). Which one, if either, would be able to activate its effect
Spell effects
Pendulum monsters in the Pendulum Scales are considered Spell Cards and their effects Spell Effects. Also they share the weakness of Continuous/Field Spells so if you remove them while their effects resolve, they won't resolve properly ("mst negate")
In your specific example, Z-arc VS Infinity equipped with B-Buster, your Infinity can activate its effects because Z-arc applies on the monsters. If it was worded like Mystic Mine then it would work even on unaffected monsters but this isn't the case. You can even check Five Rainbow Magician for a similar case, there unaffected monsters CANNOT activate their effects because it restricts "the player" but they still can attack because that part restricts "the monsters" themselves.
Pendulum monsters in the pendulum zone are considered spell cards, and are therefore unable to affect cards which are unaffected by spell cards or effects.
Lightwurm is good, you use it to bring gate magician from extra deck to special summom it after using its pend effect to search gate 0
"Hand traps" is the only deck that beats this.
The lightwurm is meant to get out the supreme king synchro on the oponents turn for raigeki
Ah yes, you nuke your oponent's board, then you nuke it again.
Z-Arc strat is a little bit goofy, a little bit silly even
Pendulum definitely needed the support. There definitely isnt a couple DOZEN archetypes from the past 15 years that could use new cards.
My 5 zarcs that i still have feel like money in the future
og z-arc is also a flood gate in the pendulum zone
My man MBT outright deceiving us by saying he played every pendulums when he denied Vaylantz their hour of glory.
Understandable though, those cards are both pendulums and entirely a different game.
These cards do so much that it is hard to imagine what the deck will look like. Super interested in how people are gonna build this deck.

I have the feeling your playing 2 original Zarc + 1 Zarc lite (my decks a pretty pure pend. Magicians with a Zarc focus)
I'm gonna use and abuse these cards when it launches

celestial king gate magician is a combination of astralgraph and chronograph
If you fusion Z-ARC on your opponent's turn with the trap, and have the CT spell, doesn't that essentially let you accel pendulum summon on your opponent's turn, bc it's a non-main deck pendulum? I feel like that's insane to deploy another wave of pends from your hand in addition to the Z-ARC summon nuke and stuff, as a quick effect
I'm pretty sure you can't, bcs it's worded if you summoned this turn, so you have to activate it manually, and CS can only be manually activated on your turn
You can't because it's a conditional ignition, not a trigger effect.
A benefit of this is, as long as you fulfilled the condition, you can choose to summon whenever.
Dimension dragons on the comeback for no reason
"This is a homosexual."
Oh what a time to be alive
RIP Electrumommy 😢😔
Good news is pend is officially by far the best deck in traditional format
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't summoning Zarc with the trap meet the activation requirements for Evo's 2nd effect, letting you Pend summon on your opponent's turn. And wouldn't THAT pend summon trigger Lightwurms special summon? Which would in turn let you Sunchro/Xyz on your opponents turn.
At least I'm guessing that's how it works , b.c. Lightwurms effect to Synchro/XYZ on summon makes NO SENSE if you're only meant to summon it on your own turn.
lightwurm scale effect allow it to summon itself when a monster is special summon and you control Z-Arc + 1 other pendulum (like darkwurm) so you make Z-arc, nuke field opponent try to recover and you summon lightwurm nuke field again.
You can't Pend Summon on your opponent's turn using Evo's 2nd effect. It is not a Trigger Effect, it is in fact a conditional Ignition Effect.
This decj basically says "What do I do if my opponent makes it to there second turn" you die that's it.
Also what's with people just hating battle phase effects? Like I know battle traps aren't popular but you do know that effect on the spell thats makes zarc a multi attacker STRAIGHT UP FREAKING KILLS YOU RIGHT?
2 options over commite and die, under commit and not out zarc before the rest of the deck finishes you off.
That’s cool but Odd-Eyes Link when?
I have liked, commented, and subscribed.
Man, i love gay spacial wizards with anime ken doll bodies
New boss monster but yeah i don't really know if he's better since from a point of boss monster he dons't have any protection himself
It's not really a boss monster, more like an extender
Mahican pendulum can use the last trap card
Zarc will rule the dimensions once more!!!
hope to see this in master duel before the end of the year. 🙏🙏🙏
So whats stupid is that soul of the celestial, you can banish the 4 magicians and still not have Z-Arc negated because They are always treated as "X Dragon" cards. Literally to make this card Actually have a possible negation was to make it needing to have dragon types whose names include the 4 summoned mechanic drsgons then Boom. It actually has counter play
But you do fusion summon him, so the materials have to be correct, which means you can't use the magicians
You forgot the best card to ever out any card ever at the end. Tiaramisu
Z-arc in the Pend Scale: Are you sure about that?
Fusion, Synchro and Xyz monsters your opponent controls cannot activate their effects...
Can someone tell MBT that his sub alert with the agido whisper is really trippin me out
mhm mhm played every pendelum deck - show us nemleria 10 minute testing and suffer
new zarc scale from deck isnt opt.
summon off tributing zarc, scale from deck, destroy, pend effect to summon, scale from deck again.
high potential love it. pend is difficult to pilot but not gamebreaking
supreme king gate magician is pendulum circular
Can't wait to upgrade my Solfa deck with this shit
epic kaiju moment
They twinkified the magician
Alright... Tribute summon Vampire Vamp
if they want to make it easier to summon Z-arc, then make 4 Dragon Pendulum monsters, that are treated as Penulum Dragon, Fusion dragon, XYZ dragon and Synchro Dragon, also when they normal or S summon add one level 4 Dragon pendulum or Spellcaster Pendulum monster from Deck to hand.
then you can use Future Fusion to summon, Z-arc and more fusion spells.
also GIVE US back Pendulums to be able to summon more with out Link monsters needed
you can already use the magician to do that. They already treated as fusion/synchro/xyz/pendulum dragon. The trap is easily searchable by gate magician which you have like 20 ways to get it.
the thing is that only work when summoning with Astro or chrono. Since Zarc when fusion summoning it you have to use 4 dragon that are that specific type
@@arkanamaster4961 yeah I forgot but I suppose it would be easier to hard summon Z-Arc then use the other trap to floodgate opponent
@@takodachi1239 yea but I learn the Magician versions you can't use the fusions spells to summon Z-arc with them, you can only use the 2 pendulum monsters that remove the cards from play to summon Z-arc. so unless you make a deck using 3 copy's of each magician and the 2 to remove to summon them. it depend on luck of the draw.
unlike the one turn kill decks... and all the hand traps Everyone seem to always have in their hands at that the start of the duels
I love pendulums. I want so badly for the deck to be rogue.
Can't wait to play them on Endymion Pendulum pile lol
These cards are way better played pure with Magician, odd eyes and performapals than getting splashed into pend piles , literally the last good pend pile was in 2019 yet people treat every pend deck as its the same pile deck when ddd , abyss actor , solfachords and dracoslayers exist
Damn near impossible to do so, you'd have to play 60-card to fit in the engine, but it's just not worth
I am so glad these new cards kill fucking incest pend piles!
@@number-qx1kw These cards can even stand alone in a trap-heavy control build. All they need is a generic Rank 4 (Magician of Hope) for everything to be live, then they just sequence their traps for a boardwipe + pseudo d-barrier, while a single darkurm left on the field also gives them a free Raigeki and a Spell activation gives them a rank 8 + a Crystal Wing synchro (Crystal Clear Wing if you want to negate S/T effects)
This can allow them to work differently than the wombo combo pendulums in order to have more main deck space for handtraps and not auto lose against Shifter/Droll.
@@number-qx1kw agree, just look at any OCG list, beside Zefra auroradon turbo, everything else play pure. Magician even cut curtain raiser for vaylantz field spell.
I love pendulums don’t understand the dislike of them if anything links deserve more dislike that’s what continues to make pends good.
But I just play pure dimension dragons/magician so idk
Because boomers have allergic reaction to cards with more than 1 line of text
Rank 4 toolbox made Pendulums BROKEN in their first tier 0 format, then Firewall/Electrumite in their 2nd. Pendulum is such a refreshing mechanic, but unfortunately due to powercreep they kept making them stronger while initially the most you could get out of them were recurring materials for Tributes and Synchros.
@@elin111 okay yea forgot about that people always being up high paladin for that
to me their basic fundamental nature is wacky. and not in a way thats has a lot of immediately interesting permutations or integrate well with other mechanics. links I at least like in concept even if decks might be samish. the idea that every monster equals 1 link rating, but links possibly have more promotes interesting synergies even with non link cards. adding to that the arrows and connection actually makes placement of cards somewhat important.
while pendulums just letting you special summon everything in your hand, and destroyed pendulums going face up to the extra deck somehow seems both seems both obtuse and overpermisive at the same time.
Links fee like a progression from xyz and synchro as extra deck mechanics that utilizes stuff already in the game, while pendulums just made a whole new mechinc that doesn’t follow a “rhyme” like the others do.
not that there arent fun pendulum decks, but they feel kinda out of left feild with how they function, not quite synergizing. its not about meme answers like card length, they just feel odd (eyes).
