OCG-TCG card image

The template has since been updated. All you need to do know is insert the card's name, and that's it. Example:

{{OCG-TCG card image
| name = Ra's Servant
}}

Why did you remove my contribution to Necrovalley? Zombie World is the only card to my knowledge that changes card Type in the graveyard, so I think it would be good for players to know this. Thefigg88 (talk • contribs) 16:26, June 9, 2017 (UTC)thefigg88

Return of the Red-Eyes

Actually, I checked RRE's effects. The first one(Reviving a Normal Monster) is a Quick-like effect. Quick-like effects can be activated during EITHER player's turn. It says so right on the Quick-like article.RedEyesBurn69 (talk • contribs) 00:05, June 14, 2017 (UTC)

How Good Is It?

After becoming more familiar with Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, that's honestly one of my favorite Synchro Monsters. BOTH of its effects make it a critical threat against Kozmo and Monarch Decks. However, its battle-related effect alone can give you an edge against...

Qli(It's a lifesaver against Apoqliphort Towers and Skybase, but Towers is a bigger threat) Unstoppable Obelisk(It will gain Obelisk's 4000 ATK) Tyrant Neptune OTK(Again, gain ATK during damage calculation)

I'm asking if you can think of any other Decks that Crystal Wing endangers. The five I've just mentioned were the only ones I can think of.

Plus, it's a minor threat against Shaddolls, since it can negate El Shaddoll Construct's battle-related effect and destroy her, and if they try reviving her with Shaddoll Falco, Crystal Wing will negate its effect and destroy it.

It's a no-brainer that Crystal Wing is a good card, but the question is, HOW good is it?RedEyesBurn69 (talk • contribs) 14:14, July 15, 2017 (UTC)

You're asking someone whom has never actually used the card. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 15:11, July 15, 2017 (UTC)

Maybe, but you seem to be a guy who is knowledgeable about the best cards and which cards are strong enough for the Metagame. I don't know how, I just got the vibe from you.RedEyesBurn69 (talk • contribs) 15:47, July 15, 2017 (UTC)

Last Turn

I'm sorry if I am going too far with Last Turn. It's just a really good card to have in your Deck, and with it in my Graveyard Dragon Power deck, I have had enjoyed many victories. That is one of my reasons for making those tips with Uria, King of the Skull Servants, and Rage of the Deep Sea. I thought that Last Turn would also work with other boss monsters that are powered up by the Graveyard(Or banished cards, in the case of Tyranno Infinity and Gandora Giga Rays). It always worked out for me, so I thought it would work out that way for other people.

Even without REDD and BESD, there are plenty of Dragon type monsters I can think of that work well with that card. Kaiser Glider, Exploder Dragon, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Deep-Eyes White Dragon, any Dragons Ritual Summoned w/ Djinn Releaser of Rituals, Mirror Force Dragon, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, etc.

Yes, I am aware that it's banned because of its effects and requirements. But its flexibility should be ANOTHER reason why it's banned. It can work with A LOT of Decks, so this card can be just as--if not more--flexible than Exodia.

Timelord(Metaion or Camion, the Timelord)

White Aura(White Aura Whale or Dolphin)

Spellcaster(Mainly because of Jowgen the Spiritualist)

Cyber-Stein Lockdown(The Last Warrior from Another Planet)

Kozmo(Expect to pay a lot of LP)

Wicked Gods(The Wicked Avatar)

Egyptian Gods(The Winged Dragon of Ra)

Unstoppable Obelisk(Do I need to say it?)

Shaddoll(El Shaddoll Construct)

Yubel(Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare)

Legendary Dragons(Mirror Force Dragon)

Speedroid or Windwitch(Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon)

Ally of Justice(Ally of Justice Castator)

Fairy(Mainly because of Archlord Kristya)

Fiend(Mainly because of Vanity's or Majesty's Fiend)

Graydle(Level 3 Graydles)

Bujin(Mainly due to Bujingi's influence when in the Graveyard)

Nimble(Most Nimbles summon other monsters from the deck)

THAT'S why I favor Last Turn so much. It's just that good. But one deck I think it's a bad idea to use this card against is Dragon Rulers, since they can just summon the "Adult Rulers" from the Graveyard and counter what you did.RedEyesBurn69 (talk • contribs) 00:11, July 18, 2017 (UTC) I consider Last Turn to be highly risky, even if it does have its uses. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 01:08, July 18, 2017 (UTC)

What have you done to my gorgeous talk page?--F88f (talk • contribs) 00:22, July 29, 2017 (UTC)

1. I didn't remove that content. You can check the page's history via Edit > History. 2. What you wrote isn't what the talk page is for. 3. When posting on somneone's talk page, post a subject title first (the big A at the top among the row of buttons). --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 00:42, July 29, 2017 (UTC)

Edit

Finally my edit was god, right? On the Swordstalker page and the Negate attack.--F88f (talk • contribs) 21:28, August 2, 2017 (UTC)

The edits are better but 2 things. 1. The trivia you mentioned for Swordstalker is already mentioned on its anime page. 2. The Negate Attack error is best mentioned on the episode it refers to (and I believe it's already there). --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 22:03, August 2, 2017 (UTC)

Darkness Approaches

It may not been a tip and yes it compared effects, but I simply followed Card Tips:Gather Your Mind and thought this would be treated the same. My apologies if I assumed wrong. GoldenDragonRider (talk • contribs) 23:17, August 4, 2017 (UTC)

Watermarked images

Marik, the images you've been uploading are watermarked. You should tag them as such by adding | watermark = 1 to the template or just by adding the {{Watermark}} template to them. In this particular case, you may be able to get replacements, but letting you know in case you don't know. Becasita ^Pendulum (talk • contribs) 12:42, August 6, 2017 (UTC)

Elemental HERO Stratos

I've been thinking a lot about Elemental HERO Stratos being banned lately. Believe me, he's a major threat in HERO Decks, kind of like how Dark Armed Dragon is in Chaos Decks.

In the OCG, Stratos is free(Yes, I'm referencing the memes), being Semi-Limited. Given how much HEROs have grown over the years, I'm surprised no one is topping with them in the OCG right now. They're capable of doing way too much at this point. This is weird coming from a guy who's a big fan of Forbidden cards, but it's honestly shocking that Masked HERO Dark Law isn't banned too. He's a huge problem for so many Decks, one of them being Tyrant Neptune OTK(The Tyrant Neptune has to copy the effect of a monster in the Graveyard used for its Tribute Summon. No Graveyard, no OTK).

I know this is kind of a stretch due to the current meta, but do you think Stratos--and possibly Dark Law--could get banned in the OCG too? Given how large the archetype as a whole is right now, I wouldn't be surprised if that did happen. In fact, I really expect Dark Law to become Forbidden in the future.RedEyesBurn69 (talk • contribs) 15:53, August 24, 2017 (UTC)

Stratos shouldn't have been unbanned in the first place. Dark Law is basically a one-sided Macro Cosmos but it has a summoning requirement. I never thought it was that great to begin with. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 16:07, August 24, 2017 (UTC)

Well, I can't say I blame you for thinking that about Stratos. With him, you either lose no advantage, or put your opponent at a disadvantage each time he's summoned, and it's not limited to once per turn. This can give you complete control over the duel if used correctly, and HERO Decks' history of OTKs and FTKs are proof of this.

And Dark Law's continuous effect mean that you can use discarding effects against Dark World or Fabled Decks without repercussions. That's just the tip of the iceberg! Obviously, that effect is a giant middle finger to Burning Abyss, Qli, Buster Blader(Since it more or less revolves around manipulating the Graveyard), Nekroz, Chaos Dragons. I could go on, but we'd be here all day. Plus, with Mask Change II, it can give DARK Graveyard-reliant Decks like Skull Servant or Dark World an edge against others. This card is no Utopia the Lightning, but it's currently one of the best Warrior monsters out there. So I still think it has a good chance of being banned.RedEyesBurn69 (talk • contribs) 18:02, August 24, 2017 (UTC)

Even so, I don't consider cards specifically centered around a theme that good unless it can be used elsewhere. So yes, not even their combos are good enough for me to consider using it. I do give it credit for being that one-sided Macro Cosmos though. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 18:54, August 24, 2017 (UTC)
