Yu-Gi-Oh! (Tabletop Game): Difference between revisions

Line 43:

*** Five-Headed Dragon is a more easily playable Level 12 Monster, since to Fusion Summon it you can use any five monsters as long as they are Dragon-type. This is made easier thanks to a lot of Dragon support cards.

**** A powerful combo which also shows up in the anime involves using "Future Fusion" to discard five dragons to the graveyard, then using "Dragon's Mirror" to use the discarded dragons to summon a SECOND Five-Headed Dragon. So you gain a 5000 ATK monster, you will get another in two turns, and neither can be destroyed by battle unless the monster attacking them is of the LIGHT attribute.

*** Perhaps the easiest of these to actually use is Malefic Truth Dragon, which only needs to have a Malefic monster be destroyed by anyway possible and [[Cast ~~From~~ Hit Points|paying half your life points]]. However, this is balanced out due to the Malefic's natural effects only allowing one Malefic on the field at a time, needing a Field Spell (or Skill Drain) to stay active, and other monsters you control are not allowed to attack.

*** [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Nova_Dragon Level 12] [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Tech_Genus_Halberd_Cannon Synchro Monsters] have effects to pressure your opponent and usually hard to get rid of. Especially [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Shooting_Quasar_Dragon this].

** Even if it has the sixth highest ATK points of any monster in the game, [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Machina_Force Machina Force] is one of the best examples of [[Awesome but Impractical]] due to its extremely difficult summoning conditions of having [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Commander_Covington Commander Covington] on your field and sending [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Machina_Defender three] [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Machina_Soldier different] [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Machina_Sniper monsters] you control to the graveyard. To make things [[It Got Worse|worse]], it cannot declare an attack unless you pay 1000 Life Points. Ironically, its amongst the most practical to use amongst the entry of this tropes (in fact, it has some Tournament records). See [[Boring but Practical]].

Line 95:

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Does [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Battlestorm Battlestorm] [[F-Zero|look familiar]]?

** There are not [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Zombyra_the_Dark one], but [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Elemental_HERO_Necroshade two] for [[Spawn]]. The first one is an indirect example, because it's based on a fictional superhero comic from the manga, that was based on Spawn. The second one was directly based on Spawn himself.

* [[Cast ~~From~~ Hit Points|Cast From Life Points]]: Many cards require a sacrifice of life points to activate.

* [[Cast from Hit Points|Cast From Life Points]]: Many cards require a sacrifice of life points to activate.

** Nearly taken to an extreme with Toon World; the entirety of its text is "Pay 1000 Life Points to activate this card." That's it. Sure, now you can summon your Toon monsters <ref>some don't need it to be in the field to be…well, on the field</ref>, but other than that, it just kinda sits there waiting to be destroyed.

** This is practically the Psychic-Type's main gimmick, with frequent payments to either fire off or maintain their effects. To balance this out, a good amount of their support cards involve healing.

Line 207:

** The addition of [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Give_and_Take Give and Take] to the game has made Giant Kozaky more useful.

* [[Kamen Rider]]: The [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Masked_Heroes Masked HEROes].

* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: There are some cards that just can't be bought normally, first hand as in the way they were meant to be; the most famous example is the first edition of the 3 Egyptian God Cards: foiled, shiny and [[~~Colour~~-Coded for Your Convenience]], these were packed with the [[GBA]] game ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef Of Destruction''; people went crazy for this game ''just to get the cards'', a great deal of the copies sold for this game was due fans wanting the cards, eventually retailers came to know that some people just bought the game for these cards, so they would gladly put a reminder for used copies '''Does Not Contain The Limited Edition Cards!''', people on [[EBay]] followed suit as guillable fans also thought that buying a $20 copy of the game would grant them shiny and exclusive cards that were sold for about $100 separately.

* [[Kill'Em All]]: Some cards are able to wipe out everything on both sides of the playing field (or just all cards on the opposing side). A couple of cards take it even further by also wiping out every card in the players' hands!

* [[Kill Sat]]: [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Satellite_Cannon Satellite Cannon]

Line 388:

* [[Ultimate Universe]]: [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Duel_Terminal The Duel Terminal] verse, with a cohesive storyline, (akin to [[Magic: The Gathering]] or [[Duel Masters]]) streamlined rules, and even an [[Ultimatum]] [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Duel_Terminal_-_Pulse_of_the_Trishula analogue].

* [[Underwear of Power]]: The Ojamas. All of them.

* [[~~Unrealistic~~ Black ~~Hole~~]]: Dark Hole.

* [[Black Holes Suck]]: Dark Hole.

* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: A well-built deck that resolves around normal monsters are rather powerful at the cost of having no effects. It should also be noted that they are immune to cards that affect Effect Monsters.

* [[Unperson]]: Konami has been taking the focus away from Synchros and Tuners ever since the debut of ZEXAL, which takes place in an alternate reality where they never existed, all in favor of the new Xyz mechanic. The former two have also been hit hard in the banlists, in contrast to the latter. The still running 5Ds manga is the last refuge for new Synchros and Tuners for the real life game.
