Edit: Whoops, nevermind. It was the V-Jump promo released at this same time. Not weekly. My mistake.

It's a card from the new movie. Therefore, it's not manga/anime cards. It will probably be a card used by Paradox.

could it be time wizard?

Lol, I could just see that - Judai summons E-Hero Neos, Yugi summons Dark Magician and Yusei summons Stardust Dragon... followed by Paradox summoning Time Wizard and blowing them all up!

This is awesome!!!

So, this is the first of the "Sin" monsters, eh? Is it just me, or are the "Sin" monsters all corrupted versions of the key cards of our heroes and their friends? We've got a "Sin" version of Blue-Eyes, and from the other openings, there's a "Sin" version of Red-Eyes and Stardust Dragon, as well (probably why Paradox stole Yusei's Stardust card; he needs it to get out Sin Stardust Dragon). So, will we expect Sin Dark Magician, Sin E-Hero Neos, or Sin Yubel, sometime?

On that note, I'm curious about Paradox's plan to kill Pegasus in the past and make Duel Monsters not exist. I've always wanted to write or see a story arc where the big bad wants to get rid of Duel Monsters because he feels it's become too prevalent in the world, or the magic behind it is too dangerous to allow the game to exist. Be interesting what his motivations are for doing so, and if the devastation in his future is caused either by his own hand, the result of him making Duel Monsters vanish, or the result of him NOT making Duel Monsters disappear (the last option would really be interesting to see; would kinda make him out to be a somewhat heroic character, for a villain).

Synjo, this is starting to sound like "Back to the Future"x"Watchmen" lol

Well, think about it: Duel Monsters had grown so large and prevalent in later Yugioh series that it topples religion as the third member of the World Power Triangle (the others being politics and business) AND has entire schools WITH earnable degrees in GX, and had even infected the DMV and local law enforcement/gangs in 5D's (with the Duel Runners and Turbo Duels, and the absolute ban on and confiscation of the cards by the police when a criminal is sent to prison). Plus, despite the Memory World Arc seemingly taking care of the Shadow Games in the original, the magic of Duel Monsters is still very much prevalent in the latter series, with Duel Monster Spirits and Psychic Duelists. So, whether it be from the dangers its mystical origins pose or the obsession it infects on the world, Duel Monsters has been and still is a major threat to the world. It's only natural that SOMEONE, eventually, would get it in their head that it needs to go, for the future sanctity of mankind.

Of course, this could turn into a Beast Wars Megatron sort of deal, where the villain becomes so short-sighted with his goals of saving his future by eliminating the perceived threat in the past, that he doesn't realize and failed to study up on how many things the "threat" actually PREVENTED humanity's destruction (in this case, it could be anything from the Light of Destruction going through to kill off humanity unchallenged, to the Earthbound Immortals rising up and conquering the world without the Crimson Dragon and its minions to oppose them).

Plus, if you want to get really snarky with things, some of the episodes/story arcs of the later seasons of GX and 5D's seem to lampshade or deconstruct various parts of the game or the anime (Jaden's duel against Dimitri, for instance, being interpreted as a possible jab against netdecking, or the current Machine Emperor Infinity arc being a possible commentary on whether or not the Synchros are too broken to be allowed in the game). If we go by that logic, then the movie and Paradox's plan could be interpreted as deconstructing the most poignant cliche of the series: how much the card game has taken over the series, when it wasn't meant to.

cause 4kids aint getting the movie
i hope.

If 4kids do get the movie (please god, no) they'll probably have to end up changing quite a lot since Season 4 of GX wasn't dubbed.

I Doubt they make the "sin" version of synchro monster because the summon cost is remove monster from DECK. Probably they make the "sin" version of old card like Red Eyes B. Dragon and/or Black Magician.

I could see it being used in the BEWD hopeless.

Where I would really like to see it though is in some form of a chaos build using a Trade-In draw engine. Possibly throw D-Heroes in and run Plasma.

written and paid for by them piece of complete absolute total monkey shit. You might as well ask for Promos from Capsule Monsters.


the Pack had absolute shit in it and the only decent cards one wanted were gotten only from going to actually see the movie (I luckily worked at a movie theater at the time and got Shining Dragon easily).


And you are judging a card you don't even know the effect of. It's an anthology type movie, so it's going to want to use familiarity. Both to give love to the fans and bring the newcomers up to speed. A lot of completely new monsters (which are coming ANYWAY) wouldn't have the same effect on people.

Yeah because everyone knows Return from the Different Dimension was crap, even compared to Blue Eyes Shining, and didnt make an impact on the game at all.[/sarcasm]

IIRC, there were also Decks that used Inferno Tempest pretty often for a while. Peten the Dark Clown was used a bit too for a while.

First off: The Movie Pack (solid gold foil) wasn't the same as the Exclusive Pack (black with Yugi on cover). So if you want claim Black Hierophant alone made that pack good (because BESD was just fanboy and binder baiting), go right ahead.

The Exclusive Pack was the one that had RftDD and Inferno Tempest.



Second: This pick and choose shit from Yu-Gi-Emos is getting ridiculous. An 80 card pack with a lot of good cards doesn't have a card someone is interested (possibly because nothing was broken) and the "whole pack is shit", but if it had a lot of bad cards but a two or even just ONE popular card, the pack is broken and "full of win." Seeing something in use doesn't make the rest of the pack great.




And I'll GLADLY remind you that speaking in hindsight doesn't help your case either as RftDD wasn't getting ANY ATTENTION when that movie came out and people hated it all the same. As is the case with this game, people like to swiftly (and quietly) change their minds and pretend it was ALWAYS that way. Metamorphosis, Dark Armed Dragon, Dimension Fusion (which is the only reason RftDD got the sort of attention it did), Instant Fusion now.


Such bastions of integrity we have in the world of Dueling. And your own statement is self-counter-productive due to the fact we haven't even SEEN the other cards or this one's effect confirmed (even though there's an effect text going around that completes it) and you're judging it and all the other promos from the movie with it.

Speaking from experience, eh Shinobi?

But you're right, we shouldn't make ANY suppositions about the Sin monsters untilw e know more about them.

EDIT: Nevermind; Didn't realize that it removed the monster from play, instead of sending it to the graveyard. Well, that is ultimately fail, on the card's part. Not even Hopeless Dragon will benefit from this card, and it's got way too many limitations on it to justify bringing it out (preventing all your own monsters from attacking AND being destroyed if there's no field spell on the field? The Earthbound Immortals, this guy is not). Maybe, in some twisted Dimensional variant of Hopeless Dragon, I can see this card being played, but other than that, it's just a pretty picture.

You're also right about the card attitude, now; as I always like to say with arguments like this, even Pot of Avarice was considered crap when it first came out, until Magical Merchant Pot Turbo kicked the doubters' asses. It's why I get a bit peeved when people bash on Cyberdark Impact as a crap set; I happen to like my Senet Switch deck, thank you very little.

Especially now a possible Hopeless Skill Drain (Forbidden Chalice and Emergency Provisions especially helps with timing or ridding your own Skill Drain when needed as well we getting the cost back). Stardust is also a huge star in Hopeless Skill Drain due to his activation trigger.

Blue-Eyes Skill Drain also likes this (FGD and BEUD as well as cards like White of Legend).

watch there only be 7 sin monsters.. D:

.."Hello and how are you doing today?"



We didn't suddenly forget about that still endless loved/hated thing, now did we?


SIn BEWD and Barbaros. 6000 Beat power instantly. That's at base for what that deck is capable of. Blue-Eyes Skill Drain is already normal.


Hopeless Skill Drain is also a possibility (due more to Forbidden Chalice or properly played timing). Summon Darkness Metal, summon back a Dragon, Summon Sin BEWD, SKill Drain and GOOD GAME.
