    A few weeks ago my girlfriend told me about her old pet dragon "gwyr" in D&D and i realized like last week it sounded like imduk design wise and i started showing her the imduk cards to see and she sad it was close but not at the same time mostly due to the color being off.

    The question still stands: why does Guardragon Reincarnation show the creation of Ib, the World Chalice Justiciar, which is a SYNCHRO monster, when Reincarnation Fusion Summons?

    They really need to errata the ED monsters to only target Guardragon cards. The fact they were printed the way they were proves no one at Konami knows how this game works... or does and REALLY wanted people to buy the set despite it hurting the game..... I'm going to bet its both.

      If they had more main deck monsters sure but there’s so little that it makes sense to be just generic

      @@streetgamer3452 Considering the state of the game... it doesn't make sense to have any ED monster capable of generic special summoning because it's too easy to break. There needs to be archetypal restrictions on pretty much every ED monster, either that they can only interact with their monsters or they restrict the summoning of monsters.

      you on the other hand probably forgot how MR4 worked and how ygos economy is carried by either cute anime girls and dragons. The community got sky striker in DASA tthe year prior, making generic dragon support was the logical move

    Justicia may not have suffered as bad a fate as bad as Avram, but it still lost a good deal from its Japanese flavor text.
    “The World Key sheds tears that do not flow, as fate is fulfilled. The gates of God crumble in a great din, and the serpent devours the dream of the protectors. That soul lies in the land of the beginning, while his soul lies in the land of the end.
    ―- Now, this world, this divine prison, shall be unlocked.”

I fell off and came back 3 years ago to play dragons again, lol

      @@jrtg5758 I actually like Swordsoul. My point isn't that I hate the existence of OP cards, but that dragon and wyrm seem to get the brunt of it and a lot of other types just don't, which I find funny because the existence of wyrm was supposed to fix the dragon problem. I suppose saying 'stupid' might be a bit facetious.
      Then again, Konami also invented link monsters to 'slow the game down' so I shouldn't be surprised.
