Wow. This event again. Can they just skip to Yubel? Watching the anime isn't enough to tide me over

This event is weird, an event with a forgettable character during the KC Cup with way better rewards. And still the character (Tristan) is unreleased in DM. This is bad, and the cards given are at best 4/10 and over niched for the current meta.

Konami, you need to do better

always good to have new cards no one's gonna use

Great, now...convert :D

lol, jk. I'm not even farming and I've got 2 glossy Orcs. This sucks, I hate my luck...every other event I get non-glossy cards or mismatched rarities, and this bs event gives me glossy everything. FML

I got a Prismatic Scrap Kong too XD

The worst LD drop ever....so of course a Prismatic one shows up.

Scrap Kong?

.....This hints at Scrap being one of the Synchro decks to appear in the first 5Ds era box.

Yeah, but the thing is, Scrap Kong is unique among the monkey cards for being not generic - it is useless outside Scrap deck.

<< Anonymous

Until Factory existed, it was useless IN Scraps, too, though.

It wouldn't be the first time we've gotten cards that were basically entirely useless due to lack of the rest of an archetype anyway. It's in a better position than cards like Mist Valley Thunderbird and pre-Burning Nova Madolche were.

Mist Valley Thunderbird and pre-Burning Nova Madolche are still usable.

This card is not.

And of course, the rewards are trash. Again with berserk gorilla when we just had it in the tabletop RPG? WTH, Konami? If they want to actually give us Tristan, that is fine. But this event is atrocious! They could have been giving me a Super Aster roaming event (or one for Jaden for his birthday) with some good cards instead of this again.

I don't think too many people would find it funny if we got things like destiny end dragoon, clock tower prison, dynatag, dystopia, etc. Then it would all be, "Oh, it is too powerful! Nerf this, Konami! It isn't balanced! Blah, blah, blah..." Lol

Fair point.

I honestly wouldn't mind being called a Meta Slave if D-Heroes ever became relevant again. They're an awesome archetype with plenty strategies to choose from and they keep you on your feet. I sure hope we start getting GX oriented events so we don't have to go through Tristan again, that's all I would ask Konami to do. They're already releasing 5Ds and GX has yet to see any decent Theme events.

Perhaps a bit unrelated, but I don't feel that way.
The reason why meta is so stale (full of Amazoness) is not because of a lack of different competitive decks you can build, but because very few people can afford to build and try out many other good decks out there, so most of us go for the consistent and still strong Amazoness deck.

And events with rewards mostly as crapy as these (along with gem reward reduction and many other F2P cuts made in the past few months) are a big part of that problem.

KIDDING ME? YOU GIFT E.HERO AVIAN AND BURSTINATRIX? REALLY?

No Clayman...I was hoping for Clayman and Alternate Art E-Heroes. I'm slightly disappointed but I really like Prismatic Neos & Skyscraper :D

Like those E-hero arts that use supreme king Jaden?

<< Anonymous(Jute)

Saladfingers Reply

Yeah, they were released in TCG as well. I really wanted to see them in DL.

Majiro

I think konami will return again all past events just to give 1 or 2 cards per event(and cards will not be like wish).But....seriously it,s not funny.It's like a fall in dirt.It will be very very borig until yubel or somthing realy good.

After some plays, I'm very sure they rigged Tristan lv40's opening hand.

Every single time, he always has Feast + a Battleguard + a strong monster, usually Voltic Kong + Battleguard Rage in his hand.

<< Anonymous

Anonymous Reply

Feast and the Battleguard monsters I can understand since he's running 3 copies of each.

But he only runs 1 copy each for Battleguard Rage, Voltic Kong, and Berserk Gorilla.

It makes no sense that he always have them in his opening hand. It's definitely rigged.

lol, I guess they needed to give him a little help because his deck sucks. xD
