ACSCR: Number 191: Poison Chain

Now we are back with our old Pals “Iron Chains”. I hoped we would not see them for a while, because that would have meant, that the Card was good. But alas, here we are again, talking so soon about “Posion Chain”. If you can control the Hand of the opponent with chains, could you not simply make him forfeit? This Card is meant as one of the archetypes Milling Options, but to tell the truth, it is not a very good one. Its Effect only activates during the End Phase and only if you did not attack during the turn. If does Conditions are met, you mill Cards from your opponent’s Deck equal to the number of “Iron Chain” monsters you currently control. So, in the Best-Case Scenario, this card mills 6 Cards in the End Phase, but in most Cases it would be three or four Cards, which is not much and in most cases benefits your opponent more than it hurts him. Pray to God you do not Play against “B.A”, “Shaddoll”, “Lightsworn”, “Orcust”, “Salamangreat”, “Adimancipator”, “Eldlich”, or better put,

ACSCR: Number 192: Spiders' Lair

Spiders. One of the most feared Animals in our world and therefore a primary Candidate to star in Movies, Games and other Forms of Media. Most People will remember Quelaag from Dark Souls, the Spider Level from Nioh or Arachne from Soul Eater. But I think, virtually no one remembers the Spider Series from Yu-Gi-Oh. And this has a particularly good reason. Spiders are beloved, when they are also  beautiful, naked Ladys. The Yu-Gi-Oh "Spiders" should take notes. The Spider series was played by Roman Goodwin, the leader of the Dark Signers and yet another Villain of 5Ds. Why have all Villains in 5Ds so shitty Cards? Ok, not all are terrible, which we will see later, but most of them are. And the “Spider” series is one of them. It revolves around turning the opponents monsters in Defense Position, implying, that they are caught in a siders web and cannot move anymore. This is a cool Lore implication, but an inherently bad strategy, because there is no initial gain from driv

ACSCR: Number 193: The World Legacy

The World Legacy. One of the biggest Storylines in the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG, spanning the entire VRAINS Aera and containing more than 7 Archetypes. Because the card I talk about today shows the End of the Storyline, I will not go too deep into the Story itself, but to get the general idea, here is the gist of it: In the, not named, World in which this Story takes Place, there are 7 (or even more) Mythical Artefacts, called the World Legacies and the heroes, around Avram, Longirisuu and Ib, want to find them. Each one of these Legacies are Level 5 or higher monster and correspond with one of the Archetypes contained in this Storyline. These are: “World Legacy – “World Chalice” with the titular “World Chalice” archetype, “World Legacy – “World Armor” with “Krawlers”, “World Legacy – “World Shield” with “Mekk-Knights”, “World Legacy – “World Sword” with “Knightmare”, “World Legacy – “World Crown” with “Crusadia”, “World Legacy – “World Wand” with “Orcust”, “World Legacy – “World Ark” with “Guar
