[IMPORTANT][OCG] Pendulum Summons, New Mechanics, and Arc-V News!

-claps slowly-

Just repost what I posted ._.

Yeah you posted while I was editing the news.

The hell
2 field spells, not drawing on 1st turn?
Suuucks

I have no hatred for the 2 Feel Spells stuff and yeah KNM are trying to make going second happen.

Stop trying to make going second happen. It's not going to happen.

Actually it will happen. Fuck. All of dem OTKs.

Two field spells?

I saw your post first. But his had more information.

how do u perform a pendulum summon

hope that not drawing first turn rules stay in ocg starting off a duel with -1 would be fucking annoying

What the actual fuck.

On pendulum summon.

Also, the new rules... yikes. I don't get how that is going to balance the game, but it's going to suck for a lot of decks out there. The field thing is going to be messy.

I don't know what's up with any of this. The game is going to be upside down for a while.

TL;DR;IDC,
Pendulum Monsters have a scale going from left to right. You need 2 Pendulum Monsters in order to complete a scale, with the scale beginning with the left value of the left card and ending with the right value of the right card. The 2 Pendulum Monsters that make up the scale are treated as Spell cards while they make up the scale (and can probably activate their Spell effects).
Then you somehow Pendulum Summon (some particular/any) monsters who's Level fall inbetween the begin and end values of the scale.
That's about everything we know so far.

Also, OP, could you please spoiler the huge images? I might be the only one but my browser doesn't auto adjust the pics for one reason or another.

Okay so they really ran out of ideas this time, and this is like desperate move to make something new by force lol.

I actually hate the idea of this ._.

Me toooo .-.

The first two rules are annoying.

5 cards only is a disadvantage and having one field only was a sneaky way to kill field spells that can't be otherwise killed by card effects like rainbow ruins or seal of Ori.

The summoning seems confusing but I'll actually wait to see it then judge it.

I think it sounds fun

If it wasn't for Gianus I wouldn't know what any of this meant. Seriously, what the fuck.

Also the other "balancing" rules are going to cause quite a stir around here. Decks that depend on their field spell will get quite the advantage now, like Madolche and Ghostrick.

Time to play some grave keepers.

If we can summon regular monsters by pendulum summon and it's essentially a big swarm mechanic, as well as the whole field thing, I could see fun things happening with my ojamas lel.

THink about this... normal summon, country special summon, pendulum summon... that's 3 ojamas. One turn. So black, green and yellow could all be summoned in one turn without any real external aid. That sounds enjoyable (LAZER BLAAAAAH), especially when only an MST (really) could get rid of my country.

I think I may enjoy these rule changes. Also, start going second now so you can say you did it before it was cool.

The game is pretty swarmy as it is. I can't imagine how this would affect both synchro summons and exceed summons-- wait, I can.

Well, we still don't quite exactly know what this is so we also are not sure about the usage of the Pendulum Monsters and Summons (seriously, everything I've stated in my last comment is EVERYTHING we currently know for sure).
We still don't know if Pendulum Summons can be performed on any monster or just some type of monster that specifically says it can be, whether it is a Special or an extra Normal Summon (which might, or might not help Spirit decks, counter or help Decks utilising stuff like Vanity's Emptiness), and basically anything that anyone states besides the things listed in my previous comment are nothing but speculations.
So yeah...

Regular monsters will be pendulum summonable because

Masou Seiryuu Iiselweapon
LIGHT/Dragon
Level 6
2300/1600
When this card is Pendulum Summoned: you can target 1 card on the field;. Return it to its owner’s hand.The effect of “Masou Seiryuu Iiselweapon” can only used once per turn.

Standard effect monster. Has an effect that works when it's pendulum summoned. Therefore is pendulum summonable but does not specify that it can be.

JJ, that was my thought exactly when I saw that dragon. It seems like any card can be pendulum summoned. This makes higher level cards somewhat more playable, but swarming will be inevitable and really hardcore.

It should be interesting. Cards with a high right pendulum value will be really valuable, as level 7s will be really easy to summon. It should add a swarm mechanic that will be quite nasty.


I'd like to think it'll have some disadvantage though. It seems too easy to do and pendulums swing. You push one towards someone else and it comes back and smacks itself in the face.

Remember when I was right about people posting unsourced nonsense about "Arc Vs"? Maybe I'll be right about this too. This just seems too easy.

That's right. We'll have to wait and see. Although the current system described here has some potential for both making the game take a fresh breath of air or completely throw it into madness. I like the odds here.

I somehow hope there's more (or less) to this though.
