it's also a time card, since your opponent will probably need 2+ minutes to read and understand what it does (or you spend 2+ minutes explaining it to them)
The DIabellstar Illusion could be a side deck option in the Chimera Deck against quickplay spell decks like runick or purrly. because chimera can send it with the new fusion from deck to grave and then summon it on opponents draw phase from the grave wirh the effect of chimera in grave.
yup, can also pair it with the searchable talon illusion as part of normal combo so when they set a spell/trap you can pop their card and not neg ("destroy them" means we can pretty much pop the card and bounce your monster with talon)
In case nobody else told him, the effects are written in the order of special summon conditions, hand effects, on-field continuous effects, on-field activated effects, and lastly grave effects. The TCG also tries to follow that order, but they're fuck it up thanks to their weird placements of the hopt clause.
i REALLY hate that we don’t have the same format for our cards as the OCG. Listing would help so much and having a regular order for types would be amazing too.
@@luminous3558I unironically think it's baked into the design of the game. The complexity of individual cards leads to anime-like moments and upsets from knowledge and comprehension checks.
I have already done the cooking. Both of the new Yubel cards are 3 ofs in D/D/D. Field spell searches and Squirmer opens up Muckracker plays as well as allowing Zero King Rage to be a good boss monster
Does anyone take D/D/D seriously? I have the impression it falls into the category where if you don’t know where to handtrap or how to solve their endboards it can mess you up, but the moment it becomes a “known entity” in the meta the sidedecks and matchup knowledge will send it into oblivion.

@@Exisist5151its perennially overrated by every DDD player, and perennially underrated by everyone else. It’s about as mid as a combo deck gets - it’ll clap you if it gets to go off uninterrupted or opens a hand that beats your disruption, but it’s underwhelming compared to something actually relevant like Mannadium (and loses to most of the same blowout cards as the better combo decks).
Because it seems like someone should say this, here's what it takes to activate Equation System Cannon: 2x + y = C ⇔ y = C - 2x x + y = L ⇔x + C - 2x = L ⇔ x = C - L y = 2L - C where x is the banished Xyz rank, y is the banished Fusion level, C is the total card count, and L is the opponent's monster's level/rank.
The new Diabellz monster and trap can work in Chimera while playing it more as a control strategy. The only problem is Diabellstar herself. She's a spell caster whos only good fusion attribute is that she's a dark. Gott think about that one more though. Also, the trap can bring out nightmare magician who's effect works during the battlephase (Can be activated)
Talons of Shurilane is actually the best current target for the illusion "ROTA" Sinful Spoils Cycle (that's a trap, therefore useless the turn you set it) since you can add it rather than summon it with effect negated and use it right away rather than wait for your turn. Same if you use Gazelle as material during the opponent's turn and want to search for something that's already usable, making this card a good piece for a Diabellstar engine inside Branded Chimera for my taste.
The Diabelztar is good specifically in lab since you can search the trap out. You can use it during your own turn with Butler or coco to search it and summon Diabel via her own eff making the pop life or summon it during the opp without the pop. (Which is still fine since we got lady) Also if you draw her she's just a free discard for the furnitures. So yeah that's an easy addition for the deck.
I like the grave squirmer and Nightmare Throne cards. First one can use it to dodge certain cards like imperm which is always nice. Even lets you go into links and still lets you bring back yubel. And second card is just cracked. Really good yubel support
They’ve done it with at least one other card from what I remember. This is really why they should just say “illusions always have this ability” or keyword illusion and not have to worry about it ever.
Things written there like "Normal" or "Tuner" or "Gemini" or even "Illusion" are just tags, nothing more. They are not keywords or effects and should not be treated as such. While cards with certain tags have some tendency on their effects they are not guaranteed and in theory Konami can create a Gemini card without Gemini effects. They exist so that cards can refer to and edit them.
@@lywzcx663 The entire point of Gemeni cards is that one ability. They are technically capable of printing a Gemeni card without that ability in the same way they could technically print a whole Exoida card that reads “reveal this card: win the game”. It goes against all established rules and logic in the game and it would be really stupid. They aren’t going to print Gemeni cards without the Gemeni ability because then they’d just print regular cards, the ability is what makes them gemeni’s, not some nebulous abstract concept.
@@Unknown-qj9sm Not all Union cards have the same union effects, same goes for Toon or Spirit. And the Official do not limit themselves either. In the Official Rulebook, they are only referred to special abilities without specifying the effect: "Some monster cards can have special ability names written next to their type, like Flip, Union and Gemini. Their ability is written in the card text". While they holds some common tendency on their effects, that's it. The effects themselves can vary as much as Konami wants. A new Gemini card that is treated as Normal Monster even in Deck or remain a normal monster after the resummon is completely possible.
@@geiseric222 Idk, different format. Ppl were hard coping about Dragun on TCG while when it came did anything but an additional piece of interruption for an already stablished board and still like that till this day. So, i'm just gonna say that Sinful spoils is going to be a good engime till they ban/limit some cards cuz pure is mad copium
I disagree with the diabellze assessment. It’s a really interesting card that has the potential to be a meta staple. If a format is dominated by the sinful spoils engine, then diabellze becomes a really strong option in sinful spoils decks since it can act as a generic extender, or shut down the opponent’s wanted. It also is a pseudo spell negate since it’s 3rd effect can trigger before your opponent has the chance to activate their spell. This leads to some interesting scenarios where it becomes a mind game of whether your opponent set the important spell first or if they’re trying to bait the pop. However, if you’re playing against a deck with a strong field spell you can always hold the diabellze pop for that field spell. Diabellze also helps insulate your board from several strong board breakers like droplet, imperm, evenly, econ, etc. Finally, the pop also allows you to trigger your own fire king cards. The only question is whether the card is worth it over something like anti-spell. But the fact that you can also trigger the pop means it has going 2nd applications that anti-spell doesn’t.
I'm already using diabellstarr as an extender on kashtira (on MD) but i didnt have any great card to set with her. Setting this as an end board piece makes Arise-heart only outable by monster effects on the first turn, which is really funny.
the new yubel cards also has application in unchained as an engine/extender. and while yeah Yubel won't see high competitive play. it's going to be my pet deck for this year. I've been waiting for any kind of support for so long. it's honestly one of the few decks I've sat down and labbed out several deck ideas and techs for.
How? Grave Squirmer only pops monsters that mention “Yubel”. And it only revives fiends with 0/0 which none of the Unchained monsters have. Same for the field spell, it only searches 0/0 fiends and even if it could destroy unchained monsters from the deck they won’t trigger because they need to be destroyed on the field.
@@jk844100 you obviously aren't paying attention to the current meta trends. People have recently topped a few regionals with sacred beast unchained. It doesn't matter if squirmer only pops yubel monsters its a free extra 2 bodies with that engine.
They don't put it at number one for all of it cause they want to optimize the text for card space. So if the text would fit better at point 2 it goes in at point 2. They are giving us these trash illusion cards because they will print an exclusive fusion monster that can be super poly with any effect monsters and can't be negated and banish the opponent's entire field, hand, graveyard. so they will make them appear trash them print something that makes them decent.
Diabellze original sin seems mid, until konami releases the next wave of lore support that searches both of the witches and makes unaffected by other cards until the end of duel.
Sinful Spoils Cycle makes Golgoil actually not garbage since at worst, the Trap is BP protection while at best, it makes Golgoil a grindy card that your opponent will have to dedicate resources removing from the field. Sure it's a dead draw if you draw it, but I wouldn't call it garbage when Cycle works remarkably well with it
I plan on trying out Diabellze as a one of in branded chimera to see how that goes. Not like the deck is seeing much playable support otherwise with garbage retrains of vanilla monsters 😂
Tbh to make use of the new cannon you just need to have 1× R0 xyz and 12× LV1 to 12 fusions plus 2× LV1 more fusions. Btw I think this is the right system where x,z and y1,2 are the independent and dependent variables respectively: {2y1+y2=x {y1+y2=z
Floodgate Diabellstar also makes Rank 7 plays easier to go into Shangri Ira and block the field together with the snake eye cards. Also the Rank Up Kal Yuga combo that Kashtira plays atm is accessible. Anti Spell sees already play in many fire king decks.
Isn't the 2nd effect of the white witch a continuous effect so if you summon it with the trap the anti spell eff is life because it only can't activate the effects?
The battle destruction thing that illusion monsters have shouldn't even be written on the cards, they should've made it an intrinsic property of all illusion monsters, similar to how pendulums go to the ED when they're destroyed on field
Josh seems forgot that dark simorgh and sovereignity is legal in ocg, which mean pure diabellstar lock is possible. Not to mention ponix is a winged beast.
Equation System Cannon is a card I'd consider as a funny wincon in decks that don't use the extra or that are mixed Fusion/XYZ decks. Maybe as a side or something.
@@MakinWAVs Actually, you only need to run double of the same rank, the requirement is to banish 2 xyz and 1 fusion, so you technically can just run 3-4 low-rank monsters and fill the rest of the ED with fusions that have increasingly more levels. Plus, it's not like you'd want to activate this card at every opportunity, so you only need to prepare for certain situations against common monster levels in the meta. All you need to banish your opponent's entire board is to line up your levels with exactly one monster on their field anyways. This card also recycles 2 out of the 3 ED monsters you need to banish, so i can totally imagine sth like a Runick Spright deck sacking your field by losing an extra copy of Gigantic
That Diabellze card confuses me purely because it's an illusion without the illusion gimmick effect. Like, what's the point of making that a staple of illusion cards if it doesn't apply to all illusions? What's the point of making this card an illusion if it doesn't have that effect?
The trap doesn't prevent continuous effects. So once you put the illusion on board, you just anti spelled your opponent. Also you do this during the draw phase/standby gets around not being to activate during the main phase.
Yeah that is a thing. But besides evenly or maybe super poly, it isn't that great. Of course Runick. But the BIGGER point is hit even normal spells and pop them. But every deck is runick or has Book or Enemy Controller. Not many play Evenly now. So it's CRAZY against certain decks but for most matchups, the trap makes it lose the point of making them set cards. Play denko sekka or Dark Simorgh in combo with
it's not anti spell when your opponent can just set any non QP and still use them. Not having the pop defeats the purpose of the card barring certain matchups like Runic and Purrely. Card is toxic in principle given the right circumstances but everything comments+ chat has mentioned are cope.
@@Avermra exactly. Great floodgate if set up right, but then they can just set and use the cards next turn. The quick play stuff like Super Poly or Runick can just be flipped on the opponents turn anyway. You HAVE to deal with the set normal/field spells asap! Pop a Prosperity or Fire king stuff before it can be used is CRAZY. 3 MST, 3 Cosmic cyclone, 3 heavy storm duster, 3 twin twister in every deck lol Make a meta call with Waking the dragons and the random abyss actor draw card 😂 I think there's a new sinful spoil that banishes 2 if popped.
@@Avermra Anti spell doesn't stop Super Poly/Droplet (major no-response outs to multi negate boards) and Imperm that feels great even as a top deck. If a consistent way to utilize this with cards like Denko/Dark Simorgh is found, this can turn out very toxic very quickly.
@@babrad depending on ratios i think chimera could summon turn 1 if they needed there are 2 illusion monster reborns, (berfomet and tao) you could run 3 diabellez fuse it off and then reborn it with either of them. Gazelle searches illusions so getting the one you need into hand wouldnt be hard. The issue id see is if you get hand traped you have less than nothing.
the problem is you're going through them instead of the snake eye line that's much better. The exception is gonna potentially be as sideboard tech, or MAYBE some sinful spoils chimera varient
@@relloz6 or if you just build a deck around her. But I do think she is best as a one of tech card to potentially shut down those cards when You Face them
@@Rhapsodyizz not everything in the game has to be searchable to be good. If you're running it as a tech card to deal with certain decks it's no different than running something like Nibiru or an unsearchable hand trap. It's a Floodgate that specifically deals with the specific meta since the snake eye engine is so common and Decks that rely heavily on spells like runic so what's a good one of in any deck in the current format especially if your deck runs the snake eye engine itself
@Cwronaga216 if you want to kill these decks that Diabellze kills, you can also just maindeck the counters to them, would you rather play the trap and Diabellze and possibly get ashed on its summon, or would you rather just play a card like magical jammer or anti-spell?
There's someone at konami that really hates pendulum as an archetype. Like, the number of cards they're printing that literally shutdown the deck keeps increasing. Kashtira literally can pull out a guy and shut your main way of playing the game. Anti-spell still in the game. Now this. F-ing rtrds at Konami think this is good card design.
there is a world where those are justified just give us more cards that place pendulum scales(not activate them) make an archetype or pack filler that deals with locked zone (make it say "must be used in a locked zone " if you have to)
the reason why the illusion effect isn't always at the beginning is obviously because tcg konami is awful at designing cards. there is no other explanation how we otherwise wouldn't have the ocg style instead otherwise
I think i disagree with joshs opinion on the new diabellstar card, specifically in decks the already run the engine like fire king, one of it and the trap card is imo a great addition, as the trap is a good alternate if you hard drew the normal spell or the ponix already imo
@@PendBestDeck151 i think it depends on how the upcoming meta developes. But in a format where at least 60-70% of top cut will probably include diabellstar it is likely a good main deck option, and definetally at least a side deck staple in decks that include the black witch
wouldn't it be a good thing if the sinful spoil cards ended up as generic good cards (I mean like ash, imperm, evenly...) but searcheable? I think it's cool but I don't know if it wouldn't be strange/too powerful
Yugioh Booster are useless because Konami CARES with making cards completely worthless. Then they complain retailers are stopping work with their products. But their collections is like 1 chase card and 39473847372 worthless pack filler. For no good reson. If something it makes YuGiOh the only game where cards are absolutely unplayable. No other card game is like that.
You hit the nail on the head with what you said about the Branded situation. Konami gave it way too much support and we face that exactly now in MD where it recently became Tier 0 post banlist since D-Link was the only deck to keep Branded Despia at bay alongside with VS but VS is totally unplayable rn with SHS and Droll everywhere. Im really sick of seeing Branded anywhere in MD. And as much as i love our new anti hero, im afraid that Diabellestar becomes Branded 2.0, shes already good enough with the little support she got. But again, lets face it people. Branded Despia is almost as strong as Ishizu Tear in MD now and that is not a great sign and there must be a quick reaction by Konami before even more people quit the game for good.
Chill bro, it's not that big a deal. Why always so angry? Lol. "Meta" players, am I right? Was I like this when I used to play competitive video games seriously? I don't even remember.
Josh normally is on point but today he is totally off base on his readings of cards. Yubel cards are really strong, super strong combo deck now with the new cards, tons of resources. The new Illusion level 10 guy can be summoned for free, banished for basically free and end up being 3 materials by itself. Diabellze is summonable at the end of the fire king combos super easy but also opens up new combos in the existing Illusion Branded pile stuff and Lab. I think it's the Runnick player cope not wanting this card to see play.
@leakyrobot7292 Actually also searchable from the chimera engine in like 2 ways. Fusioned the dude can search a illusion or thier fusion can send one to grave. And special summon it ops turns
Funniest part about Equation cannon is that is the perfect bait since if you don't negate it and it resolves, you lose your whole field
it's also a time card, since your opponent will probably need 2+ minutes to read and understand what it does (or you spend 2+ minutes explaining it to them)
You cannot activate it if you don't have a way to resolve the effect
The DIabellstar Illusion could be a side deck option in the Chimera Deck against quickplay spell decks like runick or purrly. because chimera can send it with the new fusion from deck to grave and then summon it on opponents draw phase from the grave wirh the effect of chimera in grave.

the new illusion is broken and breaks the whole point if illusion monsters. COOOOOOOL
The trap doesn't prevent continuous effects. So once you put the illusion on board, you just anti spelled your opponent. Also you do this during the draw phase/standby gets around not being to activate during the main phase.
Yeah that is a thing. But besides evenly or maybe super poly, it isn't that great. Of course Runick. But the BIGGER point is hit even normal spells and pop them. But every deck is runick or has Book or Enemy Controller. Not many play Evenly now.
So it's CRAZY against certain decks but for most matchups, the trap makes it lose the point of making them set cards.
Play denko sekka or Dark Simorgh in combo with
it's not anti spell when your opponent can just set any non QP and still use them. Not having the pop defeats the purpose of the card barring certain matchups like Runic and Purrely.
Card is toxic in principle given the right circumstances but everything comments+ chat has mentioned are cope.
@@Avermra exactly. Great floodgate if set up right, but then they can just set and use the cards next turn. The quick play stuff like Super Poly or Runick can just be flipped on the opponents turn anyway. You HAVE to deal with the set normal/field spells asap!
Pop a Prosperity or Fire king stuff before it can be used is CRAZY.
3 MST, 3 Cosmic cyclone, 3 heavy storm duster, 3 twin twister in every deck lol
Make a meta call with Waking the dragons and the random abyss actor draw card 😂
I think there's a new sinful spoil that banishes 2 if popped.
@@Avermra Anti spell doesn't stop Super Poly/Droplet (major no-response outs to multi negate boards) and Imperm that feels great even as a top deck. If a consistent way to utilize this with cards like Denko/Dark Simorgh is found, this can turn out very toxic very quickly.
@@babrad depending on ratios i think chimera could summon turn 1 if they needed there are 2 illusion monster reborns, (berfomet and tao) you could run 3 diabellez fuse it off and then reborn it with either of them. Gazelle searches illusions so getting the one you need into hand wouldnt be hard. The issue id see is if you get hand traped you have less than nothing.
I’ll just set it in Masterduel and wait for it to glow.
where him going over the rest of the new flame swordmen stuff?
Diabellz can be cheated in chimera deck easly just by having a mono in your deck
Don’t that field spell let you had phantom of chaos to hand 😮💨😮💨
counter runick with it?
Witch girl hard counters Runick and Pend degeneracy. Not gonna complain about that
The new witch completely shuts off runic and pendulum decks. It also shuts off impermanence and evenly matched
the problem is you're going through them instead of the snake eye line that's much better. The exception is gonna potentially be as sideboard tech, or MAYBE some sinful spoils chimera varient
@@relloz6 or if you just build a deck around her. But I do think she is best as a one of tech card to potentially shut down those cards when You Face them
It's also only able to be searched off of the trap. Which at that point, it really doesn't matter.
@@Rhapsodyizz not everything in the game has to be searchable to be good. If you're running it as a tech card to deal with certain decks it's no different than running something like Nibiru or an unsearchable hand trap. It's a Floodgate that specifically deals with the specific meta since the snake eye engine is so common and Decks that rely heavily on spells like runic so what's a good one of in any deck in the current format especially if your deck runs the snake eye engine itself
@Cwronaga216 if you want to kill these decks that Diabellze kills, you can also just maindeck the counters to them, would you rather play the trap and Diabellze and possibly get ashed on its summon, or would you rather just play a card like magical jammer or anti-spell?
There's someone at konami that really hates pendulum as an archetype. Like, the number of cards they're printing that literally shutdown the deck keeps increasing. Kashtira literally can pull out a guy and shut your main way of playing the game. Anti-spell still in the game. Now this. F-ing rtrds at Konami think this is good card design.
there is a world where those are justified
just give us more cards that place pendulum scales(not activate them)
make an archetype or pack filler that deals with locked zone (make it say "must be used in a locked zone " if you have to)
I think pepe had a trap card that does that, but it's a trap card. Also, PEPE still not nearly as good as it once was.
the reason why the illusion effect isn't always at the beginning is obviously because tcg konami is awful at designing cards. there is no other explanation how we otherwise wouldn't have the ocg style instead otherwise
I think i disagree with joshs opinion on the new diabellstar card, specifically in decks the already run the engine like fire king, one of it and the trap card is imo a great addition, as the trap is a good alternate if you hard drew the normal spell or the ponix already imo
An inclusion could be okay. To fight the mirror match. But besides that it could be a side deck card, until you run into the deck its good against
^ This, it's just an additional option if you already open the spell or ponix, and a REALLY nice one that that.
@@PendBestDeck151 i think it depends on how the upcoming meta developes. But in a format where at least 60-70% of top cut will probably include diabellstar it is likely a good main deck option, and definetally at least a side deck staple in decks that include the black witch
A random 1x in Branded? My friend, that is the entire deck you are talking about here ;)
wouldn't it be a good thing if the sinful spoil cards ended up as generic good cards (I mean like ash, imperm, evenly...) but searcheable? I think it's cool but I don't know if it wouldn't be strange/too powerful
Runick be like: You just described me
Yeah and no at the same time since there is a huge restriction on them. It is more if an engine that compose a deck rather than staples
Pure Snake Eyes is underwhelming as fuck
I have seen people who actually think it is better than the firek King one.
so, is illusion the only type with no normal monsters or psychic did it first
They already have a normal monster
And so does Psychic, PSY-Frame Driver.
@@Oddf0xthanks for ruining my mood jk (the thanks are sincere though)
Infernity mirage its a 0/0 fiend
Yugioh Booster are useless because Konami CARES with making cards completely worthless. Then they complain retailers are stopping work with their products. But their collections is like 1 chase card and 39473847372 worthless pack filler. For no good reson. If something it makes YuGiOh the only game where cards are absolutely unplayable. No other card game is like that.
These new cards look like they were generated by bad AI
How dare you call equation cannon pack filler!
Doesn’t it literally go -2 or 3 to put banished monster or two back in your extra deck. It’s not exactly a good effect.
it banishes your opponents entire field. its a +5@@Unknown-qj9sm

So umm, still waiting on good cards in LEDE. Pack continues to be the Lightning Overdrive successor.
You hit the nail on the head with what you said about the Branded situation. Konami gave it way too much support and we face that exactly now in MD where it recently became Tier 0 post banlist since D-Link was the only deck to keep Branded Despia at bay alongside with VS but VS is totally unplayable rn with SHS and Droll everywhere. Im really sick of seeing Branded anywhere in MD. And as much as i love our new anti hero, im afraid that Diabellestar becomes Branded 2.0, shes already good enough with the little support she got.
But again, lets face it people. Branded Despia is almost as strong as Ishizu Tear in MD now and that is not a great sign and there must be a quick reaction by Konami before even more people quit the game for good.
Chill bro, it's not that big a deal. Why always so angry? Lol.
"Meta" players, am I right? Was I like this when I used to play competitive video games seriously? I don't even remember.
Bro that's just how we germans sound like, LEB DAMIT
Josh normally is on point but today he is totally off base on his readings of cards.
Yubel cards are really strong, super strong combo deck now with the new cards, tons of resources.
The new Illusion level 10 guy can be summoned for free, banished for basically free and end up being 3 materials by itself.
Diabellze is summonable at the end of the fire king combos super easy but also opens up new combos in the existing Illusion Branded pile stuff and Lab. I think it's the Runnick player cope not wanting this card to see play.
Good luck winning your next YCS with those cards.
Diabellze is also unsearchable at the moment outside of the trap, Diabellze, in your description, is literally the definition of a "win more" card.
@@JuanGonzalezZzZzZz... so if you win a YCS you get to be always correct? I guess the Pope is also a YGO player.
@leakyrobot7292
Actually also searchable from the chimera engine in like 2 ways. Fusioned the dude can search a illusion or thier fusion can send one to grave. And special summon it ops turns
@@JuanGonzalezZzZzZz...you can play 6 card engine to just to summon her on your opponent turn alongside your end board with any deck.
