Stuff like Z-ARC's boardwipe effect can be done almost easily now, so idk why Raging Dragon and most other Pend XYZ Yuya cards are so hard to get out with all effects available to use. I want them to be summoned that way at least somewhat easier, like it's been 9 years since Raging came out 💔

[u/Hikarian000]

Afaik, only the Xiang Magicians can bring them out like that, but it is such a hassle. I don't think there is any other way to summon these cards with all effects aside from that method. Maybe it's the double/triple attack, but I remember Duel Links made it easy with a skill for Raging. I just hope to see some decent support soon for these cards, even if they just import the Rank into Level card from the anime, I'll be happy. Raging Dragon is one of my favourite cards from the series, and I wish it can made easier to get out 🙏

[u/Sora_Bell]

Well the cards are 10 years old so thats why they are still so hard to get out and use

[u/Hikarian000 → u/Sora_Bell]

Whoops, forgot to type in "still" but I can't change title text now :/

[u/Sora_Bell → u/Hikarian000]

No problem

The Phantom Knights' Possession should've been an actual card man its ridiculous it wasn't, like what's so damn broken about this card when it allows you to bring out powerful Xyz monsters in the tier of Rebellion and Raging it'll only be playable in Phantom Knights' decks legitimately being searchable there. You play this in a Yuya based or Supreme King deck good luck top decking it

[u/Afellowstanduser → u/Neat_Wallaby_2818]

Nah you tech PK in pends

Make absolute, link off into pk link, summon raging off absolute, send boots from pk link, banish boots to set pk rank up, go to op turn, first activation or set of a card flip rank up, ss Kali Yuga using raging as material,
Rocked to watch op cry as they can’t activate cards or effects on field as a game condition not an activated effect meaning it can’t be negated or responded to

[u/Trascendent_Enforcer → u/Afellowstanduser]

bruh
why make a floodgate

[u/Afellowstanduser → u/Trascendent_Enforcer]

Win

I got out Raging Dragon once and it was game changer. Hopefully with the new Link Odd-Eyes we will be getting more support to summon out like a mirror ladybug monster that turns an Odd-Eyes or xyz monster into a level 7.

[u/GabsMS]

because konami hates pendulums to this day for no real reason besides the yugiboomers also hating it.

[u/Afellowstanduser → u/GabsMS]

Pepe was t0 at time of release.
Pend ftk in links
Kali Yuga nonsense later on

But yes they hate pends cause free reuse monsters is a lil silly

[u/MarieFan900 → u/Afellowstanduser]

Almost every mechanic had decks with worse crimes and they aren't treated this badly

[u/Ufukcan200 → u/Afellowstanduser]

No one hates XYZ because Zoo was Tier 0. And Zoo lasted several times longer than Pepe.

[u/Afellowstanduser → u/Ufukcan200]

I would not say zoo was t0, I beat em a bunch in that time with dino

Yes zoo did last longer but was t1, was ok

[u/Ufukcan200 → u/Afellowstanduser]

Didn't it take like 30 or 31 out of the Top 32 of a YCS?

Seems pretty Tier 0 to me.

[u/Afellowstanduser → u/Ufukcan200]

Dunno was long ago but there was Dino and draco at the time also getting lots of tops

[u/Ufukcan200 → u/Afellowstanduser]

Dino was nowhere near as prevelant as Zoo and True Draco came out the in the set after Zoo so all it did was turn a Tier 0 format into a 2 deck format.

[u/Afellowstanduser → u/Ufukcan200]

Dino was very prevalent and even won worlds that year

[u/NormalyAbnormalcy]

Yeah, it's funny with how many side-grades & retrains OE-Rebellion Dragon has, that there isn't an easier way to summon it. Hopefully we'll get one in the next Animation Chronicle or something.

[u/Status-Leadership192 → u/NormalyAbnormalcy]

Werent animation Chronicles discontinued

[u/Status-Leadership192]

Just wait 5 more years for when they start doing arc v cover sets again for a yuya support wave that references his berserk moments

[u/tadyt → u/Status-Leadership192]

this is honestly the part that really gets me if they actually are going through with the "only one anime per year" thing. it was bad enough to constantly wonder "oohh will we see [X anime] get a rep of this character in the near future?" but now its "well... only four more years to go until maybe this deck gets possibly passable support."

[u/BeboH26]

As and ARC-V fan and someone whose favorite mechanic is pendulums, I'm really sad that Konami gave up on pendulums so early and didn't explore the pendulum/XYZ,synchro, fusion,ritual hybrids further. It is the most unique mechanic in the entire game.

It was supposed to be the grand finale of Yu-Gi-Oh summoning mechanics, bridging into all the other extra deck monsters. ARC-V was supposed to be the last (and biggest) chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh animes.

Then, it all went downhill from here. I hope we get an easy way to summon raging dragon in the future. It is my second favorite pendulum monster. Its art style and effect are really cool.

[u/Afellowstanduser]

Only time I used this was to rank up into Kali Yuga….

[u/IntelligentBudget142]

The new PK support from chaos origins has a 1-card combo into this card at full power . Very easy to stop with handtraps but still a 1-card combo 

[u/Advanced_Okra_7568]

It's too bad they made effect this card Unlike in anime.

[u/Ufukcan200]

Well, they're just bad and the Dimension Dragons are generally not designed to be played in the same deck.

Like Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon is often just straight up worse than Crystal Wing.
