Light Ball + Gravity Mountain (-30 HP to all Stage 2s) lets Tera Pikachu ex one-shot anything in the game (that doesn’t take less damage/are having their HP increased, at least). which is cool
too bad it’s being released in the set before the best Pokémon Tool searchers are being rotated :^U

in hindsight. do you think it’s weird it took so long to get a Kingambit card that references his main gimmick in the games
I guess it took a bit to get a Zero to Hero Palafin card too (and that’s even *more* integral. you could do, like, Defiant Kingambit still) but. idk

new N's cards from the upcoming set
both of the new Pokémon look pretty respectible (and Vanilluxe looks *fun*), while the Supporter card is
incredibly unplayable. absolutely unplayable.
but it's incredibly funny and also kinda cute so idk

I’ve complained at least on Discord that Z-A’s preemptive attack mechanics are. awkward. at best. but this probably takes the cake in weirdness.
Ice Beam *connected* and *knocked its target out*… but *I’m* the one caught off guard still???

speaking of Machina actually there's been a few "what cards would be busted if you could delete text from their effect" posts I've seen and I didn't think about it at the time. but you could probably make a case for Machina Fortress
it'd have waaaaaay better synergy with the archetype, at least

ATK 2500/DEF 1600
(Words in brackets have been crossed out in the image.)
You can discard Machine monster(s) whose total Levels equal 8 or more, then Special Summon this card (from your hand or GY). If htis card is destroyed [by battle] and sent to the GY: Target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy that target. Before resolving a[n opponent's] monster effect that targets this face-up card, look at your opponent's hand and discard 1 card from their hand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zj3nkub4utmlmycljxwbzoqk/bafkreid4rqhjnqyif3zodmxxpxblpn5sriloqxqny4e4az4ig4ne2vvtne@jpeg)

(this is the entire joke, to be clear. it's a dogwater Supporter effect but they love printing it still so they might as well be cute with it, imo)

if tierno and lida are related (i'm in the camp that they are, to be clear. if there even are any other camps??) they NEED to do this for her eventual TCG card

I’d like to dedicate this to Intern-kun, who decided to parse “Team Special Boost 9” as “give nine ranks of Special Move Up” instead of “100% chance of giving one rank of Special Move Up”
(wow that sounds absurd to anyone who doesn’t play Masters)

glad i'm watching Duel Links mostly from afar now because it's incredibly funny to see these two cards - which I am fully convinced have never seen the light of day in the physical game - be used for a FTK. i am in awe at the ingenuity of players
but also i don't want to deal with the FTK

I think Fire Emblem Shadows is one of the few games (like, in general, not just FE) that prioritizes bulk over offense, which is funnier to me than it probably should be

Estel already feels really… *off* with how dynamic her portrait is (it looks like she’s landing constantly), but pairing this line with a cutesy “that was mean :(“ torpedoed any chance of taking her seriously ever
