a pair of youtube comments on a similar post to the one above. Youtube user DaBullFrog asks "What possible context could explain playing spirit reaper on ur wedding day?!" OutOfCharacters responds with "i think spirit reaper is a pretty defensible inclusion in a deck from this period actually"

I confuse 9s, 8s, and 7s constantly, I completely agree.

It also doesn't help that Special Summon monsters aren't explicitly marked on our cards in the TCG, which this type of thing pretty much uniquely applies to. You'd have to have read a wiki or something to know about them in the first place.

It's so true, but the rule in many other game systems is that specific text in effects wins out over general rules. I can see why people would be confused that this wouldn't work until you've played yugioh a while.

Another decade, another dark flattop/flying fortress sky fire interaction. Some cards really feel like they've been designed in a lab to make new players reevaluate their hobby choice on their way home from locals.

You might call him unqualified, book at the resume of recent candidates. if you think about it, wouldn't you say that loopholes is pretty much the Apprentice of yugitube

It's wild that Democrat think tanks are trying to drum up electoral support for Gavin Newsom off the back of his viral series of witty tweets, when the superior option of Doug Zeeff is right there

A screenshot of the game crashing in Cimo's youtube video "I HOSTED A YU-GI-OH! DUNGEON DICE MONSTERS TOURNAMENT!!!" The video is a collaboration between cimo, theJWittz, Pharahmone, DistantCoder, and Team APS

ya'll ever watch the cimo dungeon dice video where he sets aside time to schedule with 4 other people to play the early days collection tournament-style?

the game crashed like 4 times, all to play the misery that is dungeon dice monsters. it's a wonder this video (game) ever saw the light of day

I would not. I don't often make decisions about buying games based on their dollar per hour cost, but I think I would only spend that much on a short game if I was extremely confident that it would become one of my favorites.

I don't want to add ritual monsters from my deck to my hand anymore, I just want to be happy

i think its a little fucked up that white binder's corpse is barely cold and you're on db looking for a polycule of 10s to replace her with

I don't really think field spells are really that great right now. the only real deck that could use something like this might be white forest, but does that deck even want more engine at the cost of extradeck slots?

i hate to say it but... i think this card is perfectly fine power-wise. maybe this'll encourage a tenpai player to come to locals again or something, god knows you aren't searching maliss in underground with it.

it never gets less funny to me every time this happens

What's especially funny about this is that I have a hunch that the error happened when trying to accommodate the Fur Hire PSCT joke.

It's hard to word the effect in a way that both properly explains the effect and includes the joke.

The Konami-translated effect text of Rex, Ride Fur Hire

You can reveal this card in your hand; Special Summon 1 monster "Fur Hire" from your hand, except "Rex, Ride Fur Hire", then Special Summon this card. You can only use this effect of "Rex, Ride Fur Hire" once per turn. If a card(s) is added from the Deck to your opponent's hand, except by a card effect "Fur Hire", and you control another monster "Fur Hire" (except during the Damage Step): You can draw 1 card.

The Ygorganization translated effect text of "Rex, Ride Fur Hire"

You can only use the (1)st effect of this card’s name once per turn.
(1) You can reveal this card in your hand; Special Summon 1 monster β€œFur Hire” from your hand, except β€œRex, Gale Fur Hire”, then Special Summon this card.
(2) If a card(s) is added from the Deck to your opponent’s hand by a non-β€œFur Hire” card’s effect and you control another monster β€œFur Hire”: You can draw 1 card.

I'm pretty sure the text on "Rex, Ride Fur Hire" has been mistranslated. TCG Rex can trigger in the draw phase when your opponent draws a card, whereas OCG Rex only draws a card when your opponent adds a card to hand with a non-"Fur Hire" card's effect.

then they'd have to list it as lightly played instead of near mint when it's finally time to sell
