They REALLLLY love Jack Atlas man. Yeah the structure deck from a while ago is great and probably my favourite in the past few years and yeah the support after that was also cool but like... There ARE other 5D's characters come on Konami. I'm still hyped for this though I just wish we saw something new for Meklord that made them actually playable.

It's really fun reading this thread as someone who hasn't played the game properly in years.

It's like coming into a room full of 12 year olds all using the latest slang and having no idea wtf is going on

Take me back to original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga territory when it wasn't just about the one card game the entire time i don't understand you young whippersnappers and your synchro-summon skullduggery.

Is Synchro just fusion with extra steps?

I miss that part of the manga. It's the same as JoJo before stands.

No actually, with less steps.
Every single new summoning mechanic is pretty much fusion summoning getting simplified to the point where we now have Link monsters.
A synchro summon is done by using a non tuner and a tuner monster, a tuner monster is effectively a fusion spell card on legs. You're effectively bypassing the spell requirement and doing contact fusion. Xyz is the same except now it's 2 or more monsters with the same level, and link summoning is the same except there's absolutely no requirement, just 2 or more, or hey sometimes even just 1 monster is enough for a link summon.
Sorry, I feel like people really overcomplicate what is probably the simplest part about this game.
So anyway you guys ready for me to explain problem solving card text now?!
