#fusionmonster

When I say “styles,” I mean stuff like Contact Fusion, Transformation Summons, essentially any unique method to get a fusion monster out of the extra deck or even use an unconventional resource in the process.

I don't do ranks.

My brain doesn't work like that.

Is it just me or are Voidvelgrs kinda getting screwed over in Flash of Oblivion? Chrysaor’s effect is both difficult to meet the conditions for and hardly worth it considering how the number of attacks is entirely dependent on the number of monsters milled, meaning that it can flub if any less than two are sent. And Gigantomachia is just plain silly, requiring two level 8s to fuse and not even being level 10 like Sevensgias is, while having a lukewarm effect of removing spell/trap cards for a discard, and +500 atk and double attacking. Eternal Galactica Oblivion, meanwhile, not only has 2/3rds of its materials being generic, but gets immunity to trap destruction and 300 atk for every monster in the grave for what could be covered by any deck running Pot of Avarice. Not to mention that it’s one non-generic material(Galactica Oblivion) is easily tutored from the graveyard by a good portion of galaxy support, alongside Parallel Birth Gate, which also summons one of the generic materials in the process!

I suspect there's more unseen toys for Voidvelgr to make this seem a bit more cohesive, but Voidvelgr/DARK Galaxy has already two solid Fusions so this is probably more of a cheese boss?

It's a cheese boss for a Deck that already has a Fusion focused variant, while Yudias' Deck is less stable on Fusion options at the moment.

There's a rule I tend to follow and it's basically

"Wait for all the support in a set before getting too dedicated to opinions because there might be causes that change things around".

But yes, I will agree Chrysaor and Gigantomachia are definitely impractical.

How easy is Eternal Galactica Oblivion to make in Galaxy decks? Only one of its materials is specific and at least one of the other two can be made by either Star Restart or the effect of that one monster that adds a Galaxy Normal Monster, so it should be easier than other Fusion Monsters.

'Easy' enough on materials but Galaxy isn't currently particularly built to support Fusion strategies.

So it's mostly a cool cheese boss, I think, without more Fusion options.

Think Rush does Fusions well?

I think they're pretty okay, yeah.

I can't think of anything terribly negative with how they've done them, and the ROI seems to be pretty reasonable, all things considered.

I think it was pretty smart to stick to names.

Slowly but surely the tournament deck is coming together. #yugioh #yugiohcards #fusion #fusionmonster #dragon #fallenofalbaz #konami #tcg https://www.instagram.com/p/ChI-gPjtlwF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How could you make fusion monsters with no generic materials work in even past versions of the meta without cheating them out? The probability of getting everything necessary is extremely unlikely and would and has been phased out in favor of easier strategies with better payoff.

I mean they were always sort of a novelty or part of a gimmick prior to like the ARC-V era being much more generous with materials, yes, of what I recall.

Before ARC-V, you were basically running HERO Fusion Box thanks to the manga, or Cyber Dragon relying on a slowly growing number of same names.

Otherwise, Decks just happened to have some a Fusion Boss or two, you'd happen to have Poly and if you managed to draw/have all the parts, well there you go, Bob's Your Uncle.

It started off as a cute bells-and-whistles gimmick, that you could maybe do, and eventually became more central for Decks to be able to as time went on.

Design and power creep.

They weren't meta, they were just part of the game's flavor.
