RE: Yugioh Thread
...well, this is certainly interesting.
Konami seems to have improved the quality of their art drastically, or at the very least with the TCG exclusives. The art quality increased so much that a certain image caused a lot of controversy in the Yu-Gi-Oh community, seemingly popping out of nowhere with claims that it was real.
Trolling ensued. After a couple days of argument, Kevin Tewart came on the Pojo forums (lolpojo) and linked the thread to a new article that confirmed the existence of this card, which is going to be the cover card of wave 2.5 (I know, it's weird) of this year's tins.
Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to Prophecy Destroyer.
The card itself honestly isn't all that spectacular, but with the recent sets, TCG exclusives have been seeing an increase in the quality of art, similar to the art style of MTG. Galactic Overload brought us Noble Knight Artorigus and Ancient Dragon, while Return of the Duelist brings us Noble Knight Gawayn and Prophecy Destroyer, as shown above (interestingly, Gawayn and Destroyer share the same set number as Artorigus and Ancient Dragon had in GAOV, respectively).
Ancient Dragon's artwork was done by Gonzalo Ordóñez Arias (aka GENZOMAN), an artist from Chile. He also did the coloring for Artorigus while some guy named Joe Ng drew it. Art for both of these cards were done in collaboration with UDON Entertainment, and the same appears to be the case for Gawayn and Destroyer.
This marks the first time a non-Japanese artist--though still closely associated with Japan--made art for an official Yu-Gi-Oh card. And if this goes well, chances are we'll see more in the future...
Any comments on this?

I sure hope art is the only way Yu-Gi-Oh is getting similar to MtG

Why is that? MTG is a decent card game...at least, that's what I think.

RE: Yugioh Thread
I saw the box and though it was an MTG box until I read Yugioh. Then I saw the card and thought that some bad faker had taken the art of an MTG card and pasted it onto a Yugioh card maker online. I actually don't like the card art at all; it feels like it should be blown up more so the smaller details are more visible and the wings go off of the card.

Well, it DOES have the same ATK, DEF, and Attribute as Summoned Skull...Yakkov said:

Amen.
Um, also guys. Quick question...but HOW do I deal with Dark Necrofear? I'm running Spell Counters/Arcanite, and when my friend with a rather generic Fiend deck brings out his DN, I'm toast. I never seem to get the MST at the right time to counter it, or he just kills off all my Breakers. (I run two...should I go three?) Help?
Also, what's the name of the new set?

RE: Yugioh Thread
Dark Necrofear is pretty tricky to get around. The only thing I really think I could recommend is to have cards that take control of it (Mind Control comes to mind) or send it to the graveyard (Not destroy. Send. Destroying and sending are completely different things.). Or just destroy it when you don't have a big monster on the field.
Well, the one being released in 3 weeks overseas is Return of the Duelist.

Heroes are top-tier or near to it. I run a rather interesting one on DN and it's caused no end of frustration.
As for Dark Necrofear, Old Vindictive can work, since Dark Necrofear's effect triggers during the End Phase. Or, if you want, to be really annoying, you can use the End of Anubis, which can actually shut down a LOT of playstyles.

RE: Yugioh Thread
Necrovalley is easy to get around; the End of Anubis is not. I was playing someone at a local card shop who was using a Gravekeeper's deck - Necrovalley and everything - and I still won, despite that I was using a Psychic deck (that revolved around the RFP playstyle).
It didn't help that he set Spirit Reaper and I dropped HPB.
The End of Anubis negates absolutely anything that involves the Graveyard in any way. As an example, Serene Psychic Witch is not negated by Necrovalley, but it is by the End of Anubis. (Her effect is when she's destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, she banishes a <2000 ATK Psychic from the deck, which gets summoned on the next Standby.)

If we're going to do another tournament I'd be down to play.

RE: Yugioh Thread
I don't think it is, since it doesn't specify where Dark Necrofear has to go. It just says if it's destroyed.
I do not believe that removing Dark Necrofear from play from the Graveyard resets the effect after it's been destroyed.
