Talk:Lightsworn

I keep hearing that the TCG translates "Lightlords" into "Lightsworns". Does anyone know if that's true? If so, shouldn't the pages be moved? Danny Lilithborne 05:14, 5 March 2008 (UTC)


 * They will once we start getting confirmed Translated card names.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 11:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Could some old/coming decks be aided by these? Macro-Lightsworn? Chaos Necromancer? GaiaGate OTK? Lots of deck-thinning OTK/FTK decks could be helped with this set of cards. Opinions?

news lightsworns
2 news lightsworns in SOVR!!! --Modo assalto 21:54, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

I saw that, and i'm curious as to what those 2 (possibly more) Lightlords will be, considering it isn't on the Japanese side of the pack list, they will probably TCG Exclusives... but still, It should be interesting cause every Lightlord shown in the show (including support) have pretty much been given out in either the TCG or OCG (or both).... Either way, this should be interesting to follow~MEOW~ Might of the BIRD Empire 00:00, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Questions
If you have Realm of Light active and by the effect of a Lightsworn, 3 cards are sent to the grave. Does Realm of Light gain 1 or 3 counters? Jupitus 14:01, September 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * It will only gain 1 Counter per effect that has you mill from your deck~MEOW~ Might of the BIRD Empire 02:10, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

Freed the brave wanderer
I edited the section where it's mentioned. It was said that it's rare for someone to have 2300+ ATK monster on the field (2300 ATK has Freed the Matchless General actually) I wasn't sure what to write about Freed the Brave Wanderer, it's really useful that he's 1700 and the weaker is, the more monsters he can destroy.

Also, about Realm of Light: Are shine counters useless if Realm of Light card is sent to the graveyard (by activating another field, for example)? Does the ATK increase that has already been done keep or not, that is.

Removed items from section
I removed a lot of the jank stuff from the suggested cards list. New players to Lightsworn don't need that kind of misleading info. --Lifisali 00:32, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Outstanding Dog Marron it can help prevent Decking out, Pot of Avarice to add cards to your deck and draw power, Blasting Ruins = easy 3000, Gorz is just like Tragoe.Altyrell 00:36, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * ...and they're all terrible cards in a Lightsworn deck. --Lifisali 00:44, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * And yet you result to insults. Just because you and your group of friends think that they might be bad, however that doesn't mean that EVERY Lightsworn User thinks that. Again, notice how i can have a discussion without needing to add insults.Altyrell 00:48, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, I guess it'd be better to lie then. I removed the "insult" to stop any feelings from being hurt anymore. It's not just my group of friends, it's the rest of the competitive players of YuGiOh. Your opinion doesn't justify putting janky cards on a suggestion of cards in the Lightsworns article. At all. --Lifisali 00:53, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think he already knew that you removed them because you believed that they are bad choices. When Altyrell asked you to explain why you were removing them, I think he wanted you to explain why you thought they were bad choices. You've said that they are bad in a "Lightsworn" Deck, but not why. Two people screaming "they're good choices" and "no, they're bad choices" into each others ears isn't going to reach an agreement. Altyrell has said why he though they were good, so you should show the same courtesy and explain why you disagree.
 * From what I understand "Lightsworn" players typically aren't interested in trying to stop themseves running out of cards. They aim to win before that happens. So "Pot of Avarice" and "Outstanding Dog Marron" would be useless in that situation. They also slow down how quickly you empty out your Deck, defeating the purpose of using "Lightsworns". I think I have seen successful varients run "Pot of Avarice", but I could be wrong. All variants tend to mill more than 1 card a turn, so "Outstanding Dog Marron" isn't really going to save you, if you were trying to avoid Decking out. -- Deltaneos (talk) 01:40, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * However, Lightsworns themselves will not cause you to deck out even if you run 3 Marrons. If say you have 3 left and Judgment on the field, then you will mill the 3 and that would be it, they will then return to the deck. Just because JD requires 4 cards doesn't mean that having 3 or less will cause an automatic Deck Out. You only Deck Out if you are not able to Draw a Card. Pot of Avarice can also help add your Lumina's, JD's, Celestia's and other cards back to your deck.


 * I didn't explain why they're bad because it's common known knowledge among any good players. Gorz is no good in a Lightsworn deck because A) his mechanics are terribly situational which no duelist wants to have to rely on to get advantage from him and B) Why use a lesser card when you know there is a far better alternative? Tragoedia says hiiiiiiiiiii. Gold Sarcophagus is no good in LS either. It's like waving a obnoxously big carrot in front of a horse's face. Having to wait a few turns to get what you want out of it doesn't make it aby better either. You might as well tell you're opponent whats going to happen in the future, so that they can prepare a counter play in time to make your efforts meaninigless. It can and WILL happen. --Lifisali 01:57, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * "Gorz" can be used in "Lightsworn" Decks. You can see two "Lightsworn" Decks that included "Gorz" top 16'd here. That may predate "Tragoedia", but having a better alternative doesn't make something totally unusable. I remember people dissing "Chaos Sorcerer" when it came out, because "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" was better.
 * The above Decks also used "Pot of Avarice" and "Gold Sarcophagus". -- Deltaneos (talk) 03:00, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Here's a more recent one that also shows them using those three cards. And this is even after "Tragoedia's" release. -- Deltaneos (talk) 03:34, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I still can't find much evidence of people using "Blasting the Ruins" with "Lightsworns". -- Deltaneos (talk) 03:15, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * They're still not the greatest idea of card choices to use in Lightsworn. Pot of Avarice defeats the purpose of the milling, and only useful late game where Lightsworn would be most at risk of decking out. It's just not good. Gorz was only used because there was no other alternative at the time. With Tragoedia's release, he became obsolete. They began to use Tragoedia instead, because it's simply straight up better then Gorz. The only Lightsworn players that would use Outstanding Dog Marron and Blasting the Ruins are nobodys, because seriously, no one uses them in any deck. Competitive decks, anyways. --Lifisali 03:55, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm, I totally forgot; Lightsworn is totally dead this format. That just vanished from the tier radar right after the recent banlist hit. And they are not coming back anytime soon. Heh, to thik all this arguing was for nothing. Oh well. --Lifisali 04:01, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

In Regards to Outstanding Dog Marron
This is a discussion i had with Fredcat100 a while ago over this issue
 * "I am curious why you think Marron can outstand all Lightsworn's effect? --FredCat100 18:52, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Outstanding Dog Marron can help prevent Decking out, through the Lightlord's own effect or if they go up against a Mill Deck. Because whenever Outstanding Dog Marron is sent to the Graveyard, it gets shuffled back into the Deck, even if Judgment Dragon were to mill 4 while only having 3 cards left in the deck (although if it gets to that point, something is wrong). Outstanding Dog Marron can still be useful.Altyrell 19:05, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * So that dog can be very useful against all that effect, include being discarded over and over in one effect? Or do it have to sent along with other cards, like Jain sent 2, and Marron come with one card or Marron come twice? --FredCat100 20:04, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * If it gets discarded, milled, returned from the Remove Play Zone to the Graveyard, it would get reshuffled into the Deck. If say Lumina mills 3 Marrons, all 3 would be returned to the deck. No matter how the Dog is sent to the graveyard, it would be reshuffled into the Deck (unless removed from the game). Even if you discard the Dog due to too many cards in hand, it would be reshuffled into the Deck.Altyrell 23:21, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Lemme get this straight, Marron can return as many time as it had been discarded, and is affected to stop almost each Lightsworn's effect (included Judgment Dragon)? --FredCat100 23:28, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes and No, say 2 Outstanding Dog Marrons and Wulf got milled, the 3 cards would be milled by Lumina. Wulf would get Special Summoned, and then the 2 Marrons will begin separate Chains to return themselves to the Deck. OR say Card Destruction happened and you milled an outstanding Dog Marron and several other cards, the Outstanding Dog would return to the Deck. IF you have Lumina, Judgment Dragon, Jain and Lyla on the field and you only have 3 cards in your Deck (all 3 being Outstanding Dog Marron's then Lumina's effect will activate milling the 3 and then they return. Lyla's effect goes off milling the 3 Marrons which will then each return to the Deck. Jain's effect goes off and then mills 2 of the 3 Marrons, whom will then return to the Deck. Judgment Dragon's effect will go off milling all 3 Marrons however you cannot Deck out from a Lightsworn's Milling Effect (including JD) due to lack of cards, then the 3 Marrons will then go back to the Deck. Now if a Marron gets removed due to the effect of either Disappear/D.D. Crow or something similar then they would get removed from the graveyard and thus can no longer return to the Graveyard. Card Rulings: Outstanding Dog Marron = "When "Outstanding Dog Marron" is sent to the Graveyard during a chain, its effect is activated after the current chain resolves (just like "Witch of the Black Forest")." and Card Tips: Outstanding Dog Marron = "If used in a Lightsworn deck,its effect makes it less likely for the player to Deck Out." I hope that cleared things up.Altyrell 01:54, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * So now I understand, since you said that Marron can be using once, not at the minute it hit the graveyard. Thanks for information. --FredCat100 01:58, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Welcome and that is correct. They will return after any current Chain(s) that placed them into the Graveyard Resolves. Like if Celestia milled any number of Marron's then before the Marrons are able to return to the Deck, Celestia's effect must resolve.Altyrell 02:03, March 3, 2010 (UTC)"

That is why Outstanding Dog Marron actually can help. Also, why in the blue blazing skies does every Duelist have to defeat their opponent's as fast and quickly as possible. Why can't Duelist just duel for fun and have a nice slow relaxing Duel?Altyrell 03:01, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's for Pro, Altyrell, and leave the general list alone, the fun duelist can add that for their own decide, not Pro. So stop revive the list or we will report you to admin and maybe result in banning your account depend on admin's decide. --FredCat100 03:06, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Because Lightsworn decks are meant to be fast-paced. If they were created with the intention of playing slowly, then they wouldn't mill your deck to the extent that they do. Besides, a duel doesn't have to be slow in order to be enjoyable. --Blue (Talk) 03:10, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks, Blue... I like that thought. --FredCat100 03:07, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
