If anyone feel anything is missing from the OP for the Sevens era I'd really appreciate the input

I ordered three copies of the rokket structure deck, and now I'm just waiting for them to arrive, and for the new list before I start buying singles.

"It's being stated that every box for the first print run of Rise of the Duelist will have a +1 Bonus Pack. "

Huh, as in one extra booster or 1 exclusive pack of cards?

Interesting. My guess is that it's a pack of Rush cards to promote it amongst longtime players

Norden broke the meta for a bit, lol. I've never found Azatoth that bad though; of course that's my bias cause I love a solid stun deck. XD

Played around with the new Plunder Patroll theme today...sort of. Just gave me an excuse to bust out Atlantean shit after being a huge fanboy of the theme for years (Wiseblade can attest to this). It's been a while since I've played though so I just kind of jumped into YGOPro and did whatever.

Another support pack for Advanced format was anounced.

Duelist Pack - Duelist of Gloom

Which will focus on 3 anime characters known for using DARK monsters. I wonder who they are Marik? Reiji? Vector?

Rush Duel is NOT coming to the TCG.

Sneak Peaks have been discontinued

No more Special Editions

No more rares on boosters

NO MORE SHORTPRINTS


To start things off the new rarity, commonly called 'prismatic secret rare' or 'Alternative Rare' has been given its official name: Starlight Rare

Next, with Eternity Code, regular Rares, the cards with no foil artwork but a silver foil lettering on the names, has been retired. Similar to Speed Duel booster sets, you will no longer receive these in your booster packs.

There are additional Super Ultra and Secret Rare cards in the sets that will be distributed flat instead. All cards will be evenly distributed, which means no short or underprinted foils in Main Sets for the foils. Starlight Rares will be bumped up from 4 to 5 cards per set. It is not yet known how the distribution of alternatives to foils will go now that there is no Rare to replace. Each pack will contain 8 commons and 1 foil card.
Rares are not gone indefinitely, but there are no current plans to bring them back, just the possibility to do so exists.

Ignition Assault is confirmed to be the last Sneak Peek. These events have been discontinued. From ETCO (eternity code) onward, there will be Pre-Release events in which you get better promo cards (much more playable is the phraseology used). With the visit of the event you get the right to purchase 1 box of the set. The rest of the event will be open dueling.

Special Editions will be discontinued with ETCO. IGAS (Ignition Assault) will be the final Special Edition product. A new product will replace it in the future. More information will come later on this.

Rush Duels will not be introduced to the TCG. For now they will remain exclusive to Japan. Rush Duels are presently considered the OCG Equivalent of Speed Duels.

"No more shortprints." Assuming this also applies to NA.

I'll believe it when I see it.

No more Rare is good though. Rate sucks.

I only lost Glow-Up Bulb from my lightsworn deck. So I dropped it and the one copy of Garoth I was using for one Pot of Avarice and Upstart Goblin.

I'm nostalgic seeing all the OG random monsters like Ammonknight pop up in the Rush Duels format.

I'm looking forward to the show if they showcase a bunch of classic monsters since my opinion on modern anime monster designs are...less than stellar outside the big name ones.

I'm a bit worried because I feel like they're really holding back on effects for monsters, the moment they make effects more consistent...It will be Invasion of Chaos all over again

Yeah they should've atleast since it's aimed at a simpler system maybe gave monsters basic ATK boosts or something simple, like maybe elemental weaknesses like some of the old games.

Apparently one monster coming back is one of those obscure monsters that have basically never been reprinted or even releases in the TCG, basically limited to the old video games as trash.

Any title suggestions for the SEVENS anime OT?

I got nothing

Edit: How about "Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS |OT| The Seven Deadly Malefics"?...you know, cause "Sin" was localized as "Malefic"?...I'll show myself out

Played Rush Duels for the first time ever on the new YGOPro and I had a blast! I actually think theres a lot about this new format that's better designed than Advanced. It seems intimidating because of how underpowered things are compared to something like Advanced or even Duel Links, but cards that would otherwise be trash thanks to Normal Summon limits are now 1000x better.

Theres still a ton of tension due to the existence of cards like Dark Liberation as well.

Played a Seven Roads Beatdown deck and splashed in ther other Starter Deck dragon in my side deck. They both surprisingly synergistic with each other because of how easy you can trigger their effects and how having different attributes in your GY turns Seven Roads Magician into a beast.
