So in short, these new guys seem pretty cool. Vanilla Pendulums (and FIRE, go figure) with Fusion based tactics from the look of it.

That Dark Magician stuff though...

(Special thanks to Stardog for letting me make this post. It means a lot to me~

[Zaio Volnutt]

Love everything in it even the Metalphosis, looks like igknights but Fire Psychics that are set of armors designed to augment weak monsters. Dard magician though...... Can even use dark burning magic attack with the Magician's navigate in place, and the concept of the entire archetype is incredible exploiting the opponent's turn with less risk from backrow removals.

i need a new pair of pants

[α27theDemonKnight]

Dark Magician deserves every single one of this.
He can finally break away from them pendulums if he wants to, now. Do his own thang and all.

Metalphosis seems like it is too early to give an opinion on.

These Dark Magician cards though...I cannot stop this fangasm

[Flip Flapper]

hype for dark magician stuff and the pends.... look really lame TBH, if they get some strong spells and traps then sure but as of now.... not my thing and dont seem that strong

[Khina Bree]
