To ban or unban, that is the question. Imperial Order, Mystic Mine, Maxx C – the list goes on. It seems you’re either a “hard yes” or “hard no” and there’s no in-between. Today I’m going to give you MY take after examining arguments from both sides.

As per every article I write about the OCG, it is absolutely amusing to see people bring Maxx “C” into the equation despite zero mentions about the card. Unfortunately, as a spoiler, KONAMI OCG has not sensed any danger from Maxx “C” yet. So on behalf of the OCG, I apologize to all TCG readers for causing you another three months of agony!

Brave Token is a series debuting in the Grand Creators next year in the TCG! Although PUNK and Exorsister might’ve taken the spotlight early on, Aquamancer stole the show! The deck itself isn’t all too potent, but as a recursive engine it puts up quite a fight! Recently it’s been making waves over in the OCG and the prices of the cards have been skyrocketing. Today we’ll be taking a look at how they tick and what makes them so good.

Shuffling your Deck is a core element of card games. Still, even veteran players often do not understand its purpose. Gallantron tries to help.

The Grand Creators (TCG Release: January 04, 2022) will boast of a new promising archetype: Exorsister. They consist of Light Spellcaster main deck monsters and Light Warrior XYZ Monsters. They revolve around getting the XYZ sisters out during the opponent’s turn. The XYZ sisters in turn will then either interrupt the opponent via negating, bouncing, or banishing their cards. Let’s examine what we know about the archetype as of the moment!

Like it or hate it, the Duel Monsters franchise and media is extremely popular and Konami knows it. As a result, they certainly won’t be stopping the printing of nostalgia support any time soon. Every nook and cranny of the decrepit corpse of DM will be turned into cards one way or another.

Ever since the July banlist, Tri-Brigade went through many changes in order to optimize its playstyle. Taking a majority of the top cut at the Remote Duel YCS, there were two versions: Pure and Zoodiac Tri-Brigade. Some people say Zoodiac is the correct build, while others insist the pure build performs more consistently. For the past month and a half, I joined many local tournaments and OTS Qualifiers playing both versions to see for myself. In this article, we will weigh the pros and cons of each deck using both theory and player experience.

Ever since Yu-Gi-Oh’s inception, Dark Magicians have been a fan favorite archetype. In this article, we’ll take a look at Dark Magician’s newest support from World Premiere Pack 2021 and Battle of Chaos.

With the release of new Core sets, new archetypes also come into the meta. Out of these archetypes, Swordsoul (Xiangjian) is the one that has caught the attention of the public eye.

D.D. Crow is one of the game’s earliest hand traps and has had a prolific career throughout the game’s history. It’s been active for 14 years and running and remains a potent force in the meta, popping in and out when needed. Unlike some of the other cards at the time such as Gorz and Tragoedia, it has also aged considerably well. Not only that, it’s one of the cheapest options available to use too, so how about we explore its history and success!
