I think Pendulums can fit perfectly in Toons, so long as they're used as a form of role compression. They don't even need to be used for Pendulum summoning specifically. Instead they can either be spells or monsters that further the normal Toon gameplan, just in different ways depending on what you need at the moment. Like you can have a Pendulum where the spell effect is a Kashtira Birth, while the monster effect can be some quick effect disruption that messes with the opponent in unique ways, like have them add a card from the opponents grave to your hand. And it's not like you CAN'T have these effects. Toons based off normal monsters tend to have original effects, and there's plenty of vanilla Pendulums with no effect at all. Dragong, Flash Knight, Fire Opal Head, and Mandragon are all perfect canvases to work off of.
I'm thinking that the biggest problem of Toons being pendulum would be the random logic of how do you showcase the main character using performapals and wanting everyone to smile when 90% of his deck (sans odd eyes and magicians) would be given a Toon makeover because of the way it is portrayed in the anime
Predaplant is the example that you don't need 70% pendulum cards in your deck, if you want to do a Pendulum summon. Predaplant Engine can give you both scales to pendulum summon without any restriction. With proper support, I think 2-3 Pendulum monsters are enough to do a pendulum summon in Toon.
I think you hit the nail on the head for good Pendulum card ideas. But if I had to throw something out there on the table, then it would be pendulum versions of Elemental HERO Avian & Burstinatrix, and add a free fusing effect onto them maybe. Lastly add to the extra deck a Toon Evil Hero Inferno Wing... because why not I guess? Hahaa!
While your criticisms are valid Pendulum monsters are easier to slot into toon decks specifically than most other strategies. They've got search power and a need for summoning tools, Restrictions similar to other pendulum era cards. And most importantly their lore and aesthetic matches the Arc-V protagonist's on all the key aspects.
Away from Toons now, We all now that ritual and pendulum are two dead mechanics. But what about making a new archetype who uses these two! Maybe they can help each other and even create a broken combo! And I would love to see it.
I definitely wouldn't be opposed to them taking existing non-Pendulum monsters and making Toon version as Pendulums. Gives them the best chance for success
I think Toon Pendulums being able to place themselves into the Pendulum Zones would really fit their toon aspect, since it would be like a cartoon character dodging into another dimension while avoiding all damage. MAybe give it an effect where after a few effects they "fall" back to the monster zone, coyote time style.
Actually, I incorporate Pendulumoon, Pendulum Witch, and Dark Doraido into my Fortune Ladies, along with Spellbook Spell cards and they actually synergize well together.
The toon pendulums could be the cover and back cover of the Toon World book. It would be thematically awesome lol, could even give more protection to the toons from the "pages" in between the two covers.
I think as support for toons, my idea was toon alligator as a tuner and toon celtic guardian with a recruiter ability like celtic guard of noble arms, that way you could go into a toon stardust and maybe sprinkle some extra ability from its retrains, to have one extra way to defend toon kingdom
That being said, toons are so varied in selection that you could easily make enough cards for the archetype to have two variants (lets say one centered around dragons and one around spellcasters)
You could also just print Toon Timegazer Magician and Toon Stargazer Magician, and instead of having them protect Pendulum Monsters, they protect Toon monsters. They are the most iconic scales in the game, it's not that hard
I personally would love parodies of master hand and crazy hand from smash bros as the pendulum scales. The right scale would be one of them coming out of the right side of a book, and the left scale would be the other hand coming out the left side of the book. It would never happen. But man i really wish it would.
Toon time breaker magician, it's a scail 2 with the effect of helping other pendulum monsters from being distributed like toon cards like to do anyway and the monster effect is a simple pick a monster on the field and for a turn it's not on the field, this can be used to just to stop a gate card, a wall or a troublesome monster, I feel that time breaker magician could be a good enough fit. Your thoughts all?
Right! That what basically my thought with a retrain of Toon Alligator, Parrot Dragon, and/or Dark Rabbit. Being vanillas originally, that opens up the option to put in some new effects and I think having easier access to Toon World or Kingdom outside of the cards themselves would be a huge buff for Toons
I would disagree with the way you did this. You don't need a ton of pends in the deck. Look at Lunalight, and current Melodious. 2 pends can work fine if you support the archetype with ways to set up the scales. Also I think it would have made more sense to just do the most Iconic Pend Archetype signature monsters as toons. Odd eyes Pendulum Dragon and any one of the D/D or D/D/D monsters would have been easily transfered to tune form.
Pendulum is the most xenophobic mechanic in the entire game. There's a reason almost no archetype got pendulum legacy support during the Arc-V era; the mechanic wasn't designed to be generic, but to only work with itself. Either your entire deck is pendulum based or none of your cards are.
I don't think Konami forgot Pendulums. I think they realized they are a mistake. I hope we don't get any Pendelums as they make Non-Effect Monsters even more obsolete. Konami better finish printing the anime support that is missing. Where are my Beetrons? Armor monsters? Oricalcos GIGAS?
I agree that they haven't forgotten them. I think they're being careful with them since they can very easily break the game. They've been making a decent amount of pendulums this past year or so. Valmonica and supreme kind are rogue, and shs and melodious are easily set up scales (the later is easier to use and has a better scale, but only works for light monsters)

Toon-er is actually a really good idea imo konami could never
Konami hates innovation 🤷♂️

Love it! I'm honestly surprised that when they tapped into GX for Toon variants, that we didn't get a single Hero Toon monster.
Normal yugitubers: Today we have a top 10 OTK decks 2024 no snake eyes
Puplepineapple: I look up all 334 pendulum monsters to salvage toon monsters
It ain't much, but it's honest work.
@@burblebineabbletv probably the best and most unique content that's why you my favorite (｡uωu)♪
While your criticisms are valid
Pendulum monsters are easier to slot into toon decks specifically than most other strategies.
They've got search power and a need for summoning tools,
Restrictions similar to other pendulum era cards.
And most importantly their lore and aesthetic matches the Arc-V protagonist's on all the key aspects.
First
Making Toons Pendulum Monsters, sounds a bit..goofy
Absolutely wacky
Away from Toons now, We all now that ritual and pendulum are two dead mechanics. But what about making a new archetype who uses these two! Maybe they can help each other and even create a broken combo! And I would love to see it.
Hmmmm, I may have to explore 🤔
Konami could make Toon Wizard ( Time Wizard ) as a Pendulum monsters
I definitely wouldn't be opposed to them taking existing non-Pendulum monsters and making Toon version as Pendulums. Gives them the best chance for success
I think Toon Pendulums being able to place themselves into the Pendulum Zones would really fit their toon aspect, since it would be like a cartoon character dodging into another dimension while avoiding all damage. MAybe give it an effect where after a few effects they "fall" back to the monster zone, coyote time style.
That'd be great! A nice callback to Pegasus being able to avoid damage while he controlled Toon World where the Toons jumped back into the book 📖
If they did, my votes for the low scale to be Odd-Eyes Toon Dragon and the high scale to be D/D/D Toon King Armageddon.
Actually, I incorporate Pendulumoon, Pendulum Witch, and Dark Doraido into my Fortune Ladies, along with Spellbook Spell cards and they actually synergize well together.
What about a pendulum monster with the effect to get rid of the summoning sickness so they wont be as bad of a sitting duck going second

That is GREAT!!! 📖

That'd be an awesome reference!! 🤙
Look. Give me some extra decks and I will just plain be happy
100% I'll take Toon Extra Deck over Pendulums any day 😅
Toon time breaker magician, it's a scail 2 with the effect of helping other pendulum monsters from being distributed like toon cards like to do anyway and the monster effect is a simple pick a monster on the field and for a turn it's not on the field, this can be used to just to stop a gate card, a wall or a troublesome monster, I feel that time breaker magician could be a good enough fit.
Your thoughts all?
You know could have look at the monsters in the Duelist Kingdom arc. With all the crazy effect they made up could be used as spell effects.
I wouldn't mind if the toon monsters stayed in the gy. They scared me as a younger duelist.
😂😂
@@burblebineabbletv bro, like, forreal. Thems monsters is scary!
Maybe completely new cards with pendulum effects that replace Toon World (or that better one) would work better?

Ooguchi pendulum would be so mid ❤ pretty based and ooguchi pilled . Another great video 👍
I appreciate you! 😁 Ooguchi will be Tier Zero

Hopefully they don't try to fix their mistake by making Armor monsters as Pendulums 🤢
