Card Tips clean-up
this card is so simple, straightforward and never-used..... no need for that shit-ton of tips. While the first two reasons may be true for "UFOroid Fighter", the third reason should not (never?) be a valid reason for essentially clearing a specific card's tip page. For example, look at "Wodan the Resident of the Forest". Its effect is pretty bad, so in general, it shouldn't be placed on other cards' tip pages. However, there can still be valid tips added for its own tip page... so long as they aren't gimmicky tips (and this is deliberately ignoring the possibility that the card itself is a gimmicky card). The only reason a person would be looking at that card's Card Tips page is if they're trying to use that card. (Or they have no choice, and must use that card... in a custom format, for example. Duel Links is a great example of this, making irrelevant cards relevant again.) --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 06:08, May 25, 2017 (UTC)


 * hm, seems fair! I'll pay more attention to it, thanks! :D GustaphMax (talk • contribs) 16:01, May 25, 2017 (UTC)

I also dislike when you remove tons and tons of content from a tips page. Sure, some bullets can be removed, but some don't need to be, like the Quillbolt loop with "Cannon Soldier". Some people might want to focus on that. It seems you just prefer to be lazy and wipe out the text rather than clean it. If you don't want to clean it, then don't; but don't remove it all as well, when it can be cleaned up. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 16:00, June 5, 2017 (UTC)

Hello! I appreciate your feedback! Since UltimateKuriboh warned me before, I tried to pay more attention when cleaning up some card tips page. I must confess that maybe I overlooked the tip on hedgehog, but I carefully read all the others. However, what I try to do is to clean polluted pages, rather than nuke them recklessly; for example, on my last edit on Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, I replaced a long-winded tip on how to Summon it on a Blue-Eyes deck, by removing a long text and keeping the core tip, that is: a Level 7 synchro summoned by Spirit Dragon + a Level 1 Tuner. Anyway, Thank you again for your feedback, I'll be more careful now. ^^

 * Edit wars are really annoying, because they clog up the page's history.
 * If someone is trying to engage in an edit war, please stop editing the involved page. If you haven't managed to convince the other party in at least 2 reverts, then it's clear you're not going to reach a consensus through the limited edit summary messages... at which point, you resort to posting on their User Talk page (or the article's Talk Page) to continue the discussion. I also don't see why you seemed so insistent on reverting their edits, since Card Tips:Cannon Soldier is not a high-traffic page; it's not like there's going to be a catastrophe if the page goes "unfixed" for 1+ day. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 05:39, June 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi! All I did was remove the inconsistent tips, like the one revolving around Grandsoil and Dewloren, as if it was that easy to Special Summon them in the first place, and the ones that require intrincate and specific set-ups. But, anyway, I'll abide by your advice and stop editing them, even thinking that page is very polluted and even non-competitive players would have so much difficulty on achieving most of those combos.

GustaphMax (talk • contribs) 13:20, June 6, 2017 (UTC)

No, I won't let you keep doing this any further, no matter what you say to anyone. You don't even know what is "cleaning up" and how the tips pages work. All you do is removing everything that you think it's obvious or difficult to do, but the thing is that there are new players that are learning the game and don't find those thing obvious and they learn them here, they need detailed advices and the explanation of all the steps of every combo to understand how to do it. If part of a text is too redundant, then it can be cleaned up, but what you do is erasing every explanation and summarizing everything into 1 or 2 sentences. Not only that, you have a really flawed criteria about what is inconsistent or intricate, thinking that something requiring 2 or 3 specific cards is automatically impractical. If it was a full hand of 5 or 6 specific and unsearchable cards, then I would give you reason, but in todays game, when there are like 10 generic draw and search cards that increase consistency like hell (I expect I don't have to list all them), those things you thing are too inconsistent are actually quite consistent, even if they aren't used in competitive play because they aren't the best decks.

I requested you to search videos of people doing these combos consistently and repeatedly, but it seems you prefer acting like a kid and not appreciate my feedback, even when I gave you proves and reasons, because you only want to impose your flawed vision about the game. The "Grandsoil" combo is much easier to do than you think, because 5 EARTH monsters in the Graveyard with today's capacity of Graveyard control in most decks is not even a task, it has even been used consistently in some high tier decks. So before you try to impose your flawed criteria again, go and check to make sure if what you think about a play is right or not, which is what I do myself. And the fact that you find a tip unneeded doesn't mean that other people won't find it useful.--Feder373 (talk • contribs) 10:57, June 6, 2017 (UTC)


 * tl dr GustaphMax (talk • contribs) 13:20, June 6, 2017 (UTC)


 * The fact that you didn't bother to read my explanations confirms me that you are truly a lazy user, because if you had read them you would have understood why you are wrong. Anyways, I'll leave the Grandsoil and most of the other tips removed to stop fighting with you about this, given that you don't want to understand. I admit that some of your clean-ups are fine and justified, but others aren't.--Feder373 (talk • contribs) 15:38, June 6, 2017 (UTC)


 * You're not improving anyone's impressions of you. If you're unwilling to study the validity of some of the more complicated card tips (which could be simplified, instead of being removed entirely), then you should say "partial clean-up" and skip over the difficult-to-judge card tips. Or just ignore cleaning up that Card Tips page altogether. You're doing more damage by removing card tips en masse, as opposed to leaving the Card Tips page unfixed in the first place. Having some gimmicky tips mixed in with some valid tips is better than mass clean-up that removes some of those valid tips. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 18:54, June 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree with that. You are all against me in this issue, so I must be humble and accept that I may be wrong. Not everyone thinks the same as me when it comes to removing unnecessary tips from a page, so from now on I'll be more careful when doing that. Really. But I request you to see the latest log from Card Tips:Ruthless Denial and see that my last edit was a proper cleanup rather than a blind mass removal and covered almost every tips before my edit and the page got less polluted that it was before.

New Magical Scientist
Hey! GustaphMax!

I was thinking. Due to Catapult Turtle's erratum, Amazoness Archer would be a good substitute for it in a Magical Scientist OTK Deck. Good additions to this Deck would be 3 copies of Tri-and-Guess, since the Extra Deck would need to be chock full of Fusion Monsters. Can you think of any other cards that would be good additions to a modern Magical Scientist OTK Deck?RedEyesBurn69 (talk • contribs) 00:06, July 28, 2017 (UTC)

Hi, RedEyesBurn69! How's it goin?

I'm not into OTK Decks, specially those ones revolving around effect damage, so I think I cannot help you with that :/ I removed the tip on Decode Talker's page because it would be possible to summon fusions to the extra zones, without relying on the zones Talker points to. I suggest you to search for some video on Youtube and adding those tips on Magical Scientist's page, since he is the lynchpin of the OTK strategy you are looking for. Also, I would recommend you to do not write too intricate tips, that require specific and restrict set-ups, because complicated tips are counter-productive and hard to achieve GustaphMax (talk • contribs) 02:41, July 28, 2017 (UTC)

Extra Monster Zones
Umm, actually, each player can only use one Extra Monster Zone. So it would be harder to make a modern Magical Scientist Deck.RedEyesBurn69 (talk • contribs) 19:57, July 28, 2017 (UTC)

oh, really? I must read the new rules carefully. I thought the Extra Monster Zones were shared between the players and the player who would occupy both of them first would have the upper hand. GustaphMax (talk • contribs) 02:29, July 29, 2017 (UTC)

White Aura Whale
Why'd you delete the Last Turn tip for White Aura Whale?

Look, if your opponent destroys White Aura Whale and sends it to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon it from your Graveyard by banishing another WATER monster from it. There's no limit as to how many times you can do that in a turn, either. So in most cases, you can expect the worst-case scenario to be a DRAW. Plus, it's already a 2800-ATK Beatstick. So what was wrong with the tip?RedEyesBurn69 (talk • contribs) 03:48, August 1, 2017 (UTC)

hm, you're right, i guess GustaphMax (talk • contribs) 04:09, August 1, 2017 (UTC)

RE:Outdated Tips/cleanup
Sorry for the late response (and wow, thought I submitted this, sorry for the even longer delay). There is a need for those tips though, for older games. This is why we have a Traditional Format section; even though no Regionals-level event (or higher) features that format nowadays, it's a convenient excuse for us to keep the tips for a banned card. The possibility of a custom format(s) that void the concept of Extra Monster Zones is very possible too, given the "Generation Duel" special side-event. Of course, an appropriate section has to be titled for those tips. Wiping a card of its formerly viable tips is a shame, really. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 15:44, October 1, 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your response! I assumed the tips were meant mainly for the TCG/OCG following the current state (that is, the Link-era rules), and that's why I removed most of them. Actually, I only manage to do those cleanups "inspired" by what Lightning Laxus did on the tips of how to Synchro Summon Shooting Quasar Dragon. I assumed that, since most of the tips here are centered around the main card game, it would be safe to remove them due to the incompatibility with the new rules. But I'll be more careful now.


 * And, what about the tips on Dark Hole? That other user only undid my changes out of stubborness towards me, because if he/she is so aware of the reasons of cleaning up a page like that, he/she could have clearly seen that most of those tips were unnecessary, given how generic that card is. But my last change were not undone, so I think he/she understood my reasons.

GustaphMax (talk • contribs) 16:36, October 1, 2017 (UTC)

Hey, That Reminds Me...
You got any other ideas on how to use Rival Arrival? I mean, it's good with Victory Dragon(Rulers) and all, but what about the Advanced Format? And I apologize if I sound biased here. Based on what I've seen and heard, the Dragon Rulers are what would happen if you took Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End, and cut it up into 4 smaller dragons. Eight, if you include the Baby Rulers. But yeah, can you yourself think of any ways on how to use Rival Arrival?Surfinbird42 (talk • contribs) 22:33, October 8, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi! I think that card is pretty situational and there's nothing special on it. I mean, you could use it to make the Tribute fodders dodge an effect or to act edgy and attack a third time with the newly summoned monster. Or even to Normal Summon a monster whose effect would surprise the opponent, like a Dark Dust Spirit on the opponent's turn, or something like that. Ultimate Offering was a thing because it is a continuous trap that can normal summon monsters again and again, which can be combined with things like the Gadgets; Rival Arrival is just a Quick-Play, so you just use its effect once and I cant think on anything special on this trick besides the situations I mentioned above. And as a situational quick-play, I think there's no purpose on building an strategy around it. GustaphMax (talk • contribs) 23:16, October 8, 2017 (UTC)

Little Help?
Hello again. After finding a bit of synergy between the Dragon Rulers and Victory Dragon, I decided to make my own Deck involving the Forbidden five(Yes, that was intentional). Because of Arrivalrivals, Victory Dragon can easily fulfill its win condition, especially in a Dragonsworn/Lightsworn Ruler Deck.

I'm trying to make a Traditional Format build with them, but I'm not very good at Deck Building. So I'm asking you for advice on this "Victory Dragonsworn" Deck, what it should consist of.

Obviously, the Adult Rulers, Victory Dragon, Eclipse Wyvern, Arrivalrivals, and Judgment Dragon are crucial to this build. Maybe Sixth Sense, Painful Choice, and Pot of Greed? I don't know. Perhaps I could include those too.

Can you help me?

PS: I'm also interested in what a "Twilightsworn Ruler" Deck would look like, especially since Punishment Dragon can recycle your banished Dragon Rulers(And other banished cards) and your Graveyard.Surfinbird42 (talk • contribs) 16:48, October 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi! I don't know exactly how to help you, because I'm not into Dragon Decks. But when Rulers were around, there were hybrids with Lightsworns, so I suggest you to get inspired by deck profiles like this one, this one or this one. Maybe your strategy should rely more on the aggressivity of Dragon Rulers and the speed of Lightsworns and less on the victory condition of Victory Dragon. It would be tricky and unexpected to win a match with VD, specially if it is normal summoned by Arrivalrivals, but I think this (Victory Dragon + Arrivalrivals) would be a inconsistent piece of engine on a fast deck like Rulers/Lightsworn, even being possible to search VD with Tempest.

I'm flattered you considered my opinion and I hope you can get the deck you desire, good luck! :)

Gofu
I checked here on the wikia not too long ago. Turns out you were right about Link Summoning. Some Link Monsters can be summoned without a specific number of Link Materials, but still need the correct ones. Two of the pages listed monsters that need at least 2 or 3 Link Materials. Now, here's what I have to ask.

I now know good a card Gofu the Vague Shadow is. Apparently, it and the Tokens it summons can all be used to Link Summon Firewall Dragon(2+ monsters), or Gaia Saber(3+ monsters). As an alternative, the two Tokens can be used to summon Proxy or Security Dragon, and Gofu and Proxy/Security can all be used to Link Summon Borreload Dragon. Gofu is a 1-card Borreload Dragon.

I can honestly say I know why it's Limited in the OCG now. Do you honestly think it will suffer the same fate in the TCG, if not worse(Ra forbid it gets banned)? Why or why not?Surfinbird42 (talk • contribs) 23:36, October 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm not playing the Link Format, because Ygopro havent updated yet and I dont have the cards I want in real life. Ive been studying how the mechanic works, but certain things are not clear to me. What I did understand is: A link 4 monster like Firewall requires at least 4 monsters to be summoned, period. UNLESS you are using Link monsters as materials. In that case you can use a Link 2 monster and 2 non-link monsters or a Link 3 monster and 1 non-Link monster or 2 link 2 monsters. Skulldeat, the Chained Dracoserpent (note: my favorite link monster so far) lists "3+ monsters" and assumes the possibility of being link summoned with 2 monsters. The only way to accomplish that is by summoning it with a link 3 and a link 1 or with 2 link 2 monsters. What I dont exactly get is why Konami made Firewall's recipe "2+ monsters" instead of "4 monsters". The point is: Gofu cannot be used to link summon Firewall Dragon on its own, it will need one more monster in addition to itself and its Tokens. I dont see Gofu being hit by the banlist in the near future, unless a link-reliant deck becomes popular and competitive, having gofu as an essential engine.

GustaphMax (talk • contribs) 23:53, October 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * "Borreload Dragon" requires 3+ monsters. "Gofu" + "Proxy Dragon"/"Security Dragon" totals 2 monsters. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 23:40, October 15, 2017 (UTC)

Yes, but you can also treat a single Link Monster as a number of materials equal to its Link Rating. Proxy and Security are both Link 2, so they can be used as 2 monsters.Surfinbird42 (talk • contribs) 23:47, October 15, 2017 (UTC)

No. They can't. This was explained way too many times now. To Link Summon a monster, the Link Ratings must add up. A monster is treated as Link Rating 1 when used as Material. A Link monster with a higher rating can be treated as that Rating. It does NOT mean that it is treated as that many materials. If a Link monster says 3+, it means you have to use atleast 3 CARDS. Physical. Cards. It's analogue to Synchros, but instead of Levels, you add Link Ratings. To summon Trishula, you need to add up all Levels to 9 BUT you can't use less than 3 monsters. To summon Borrelord, all Link Ratings have to add up to 4 BUT you can't use less than 3 monsters. Seriously. It's not that hard. Mofiz (talk • contribs) 00:04, October 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * (my bad: I said Skulldeat lists "3+" but it actually says "2+"). Surfinbird42, what Mofiz is saying makes alot of sense and how to Link Summon is more clear to me now. GustaphMax (talk • contribs) 00:29, October 16, 2017 (UTC)

Dia De Los Muertos Deck?
Just had another idea for a Traditional Format Deck! I've also heard about Destiny HERO - Disk Commander. Supposedly, it can be a major Draw Engine, especially in Zombie Decks. I don't think Disk Commander was intended to have a musical connotation, but rap comes to mind when I think of it.

So I'm trying to make a Zombie World Deck that revolves around using Disk Commander as a Draw Engine, and has festive cards in it. Kinda like a Dia De Los Muertos Deck!

Wonder Balloons is a pretty good choice, since it lets you send cards from your hand to the Graveyard, and weaken your opponent's monsters. Plus, Disk Commander's effect can compensate for your ever-shrinking hand. Card of Safe Return, it's not festive, but it's terrifying in Graveyard-reliant Decks like Zombies. Do you know any other festive cards that would work in a Graveyard-based Deck?Surfinbird42 (talk • contribs) 22:33, October 17, 2017 (UTC)

Clashing Souls
Why'd you get rid of the Traditional Format section on the Clashing Souls page?

I can admit that I was jumping the gun with Crystal Wing, awesome as that card is, but what was wrong with the tips regarding Clashing Souls?Surfinbird42 (talk • contribs) 00:45, October 21, 2017 (UTC)


 * There were nothing special about them, I just think most of the tips you write are silly, situational, unlikely to be put in practice or simply weird. And it seems like you have a strange fixation with Victory Dragon and Last Turn. But anyway, you can restore them if you want to. GustaphMax (talk • contribs) 00:57, October 21, 2017 (UTC)

Well, the purpose of the one involving Cyber-Stein was meant to be a new way to perform the Cyber-Stein OTK. I'm interested in the Forbidden cards, as well as the ones that are tournament-legal. That's why I previously asked you about Disk Commander. With so many new cards coming out, I'm interested to see how they'd combo with the cards that are banned.
