Konami is taking control of the TCG, which has before now been under UDE control.
| Quote: | Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. to Take Control of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME™
Company Will Support All Aspects of Distribution, Gameplay, Customer Service and Marketing
El Segundo, CA - (Dec. 11, 2008) - Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KDE) today announced that the company is taking over all operational and business aspects of the worldwide phenomenon, Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME™, effective immediately. KDE will take over distribution and customer support for the Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. is very pleased that the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME continues to be the number one TCG in the world.

Seriously, that keeps screwing us over. Scr Cyberdark Impact and Stealth Union were stupid. I hope that's true, so we can get card more easily.

It's definitely true, but there's no guarantee that Konami will do anything differently than UDE did.

If the TCG (non-Japan) and OCG (Japan) become merged, it could also be that we get uncensored pictures and names, as well as formerly OCG-only promos and stuff.
There'll undoubtedly be a lack of TCG exclusives, and many Yugioh forums are furious because Japan's Yugioh doesn't have a very well-structured tournament scene. AKA, no Regionals and whatnot.
But for casual players, this should fully be good news.

You care about getting uncensored pictures? Surprising.
Actually, now that I think of it, they're not likely to merge. Most of the time, changes in rarity are justified (since we play different ways then our DYUERUINGU COUNTAPATOSU), and that also explains the withholding OCG cards and making TCG exclusives. I was just griping about unnecessary changes, but not ones that are explainable.

I care about SOME changes. Tragedy used to be a guillotine, by the way.
And I disagree with... everything else you said. The TCG plays differently BECAUSE we didn't get many of the OCG-only cards. And rarity changes justified? Bah! Dark Armed Dragon in Japan is $15. FIFTEEN. Here, it's $200. It's impossible to justify that.

Crap, I said most of the time. Let me rephrase - sometimes it's justified. They play differently because of different mindsets, not cards - Transmigration Prophecy was limited because of stall decks, which almost noone plays competitively here. You are right about DAD.
I know what Tragedy used to be.

I fear we may have counted our chickens before they hatched.
| Quote: | Upper Deck International BV wins injunction against Konami
December 24th, 2008 - Netherlands - The Dutch Court has decided in favour of Upper Deck Panoceanic CV and Upper Deck International BV.
The termination of the contract between Konami and Upper Deck is unfounded and has been overruled by the Dutch Court. As of immediately, Konami needs to put all in place to respect all aspects of the contract. This means that with immediate effect, Upper Deck International BV has been and will be the exclusive distributor of The YuGiOh Trading Card Game moving forward for all European territories.
Mr Nico Blauw, CEO of Upper Deck International BV is pleased with the outcome of the Court: 'In these hectic economic times, this is a great Christmas present for both our customers, our employees and the player base'.
Bruno Van Speybroeck
Chief Operating Officer
Upper Deck International BV

UDE tried to file a lawsuit against Konami for breaking their agreement about the TCG. By the looks of this, UDE won.
But... lawsuits tend to take more time than this. So it might not be completely true.

An injunction isn't a lawsuit - it's a legal motion to counter a ruling or other legal motion based on unfair grounds. It's possible Konami may find a way to seixe control, but I highly doubt it.

I think you meant seize control on that one. I had to check to make sure that was a proper word or not.

I guess I have to eat my (mistyped) words. Konami couldn't win the lawsuit, so they terminated the contract and stopped shipping the products to North America and Europe until Upper Deck resigns. It amazes me how chiliish corporate executives can be.

I've heard the same news.
Honestly, I knew Konami was just as bad of a company as UDE. They have strict rules about what UDE can and can't print - it's because of Konami why it took years to get Blue-eyes Ultimate Dragon.
My opinion on the matter was that one greedy company controlling the game was better than two arguing greedy companies. I just hope everything gets resolved in time for the Crimson Crisis Sneak Peeks.

Yeah, apparently they've been cancelled and the set delayed. I know, I'm as pissed off as you.

There's no for-sure information yet. Just some near-proven speculation. For example, supposedly the UK still has Sneak Peeks, but UDE never gives anything good to the UK. So I'll wait for something more official.

Okay, now I'm happy with Konami.
| Quote: | | Konami Digital Entertainment has announced that it will hold hobby store sneak peek events for Crimson Crisis, the next booster set for the Yu Gi Oh! TCG, on the weekend of February 28th and March 1st, followed by a release date of March 3rd for Crimson Crisis Boosters. |

WE HAVE SNEAK PEEKAGE!
Oh, and the Promo is Colossal Fighter/Assault Mode.

Sounds cool. The only drawback is they "/Assault Mode"-ed the one Synchro Monster THAT NOBODY LIKED.
But that's something. I'll try to attend his one.

What? Colossal Fighter's one of the main Synchro monsters used in top tournaments. You'd be surprised at the amount of Warriors being played. Not only that, but Colossal Fighter has 2800 base ATK, which runs over Stardust Dragon. Granted, Red Dragon Archfiend does it too, but Colossal is often a few hundred points stronger.
Now if they Assault Mode'd, say, Psychic Lifetrancer...

It may have big ATK, but nothing saves it from being blown the crap out of by dozens of cards.
On the other hand, that's a good point about Lifetrancer.
Anyway, think Action-Packed Comics will be able to get that? I know it's certified for that, but I'm still not sure.

Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode (assuming it's in the set, or in RGBT).

Hm. Heaven forbid I exaggerate.
Look. Stardust Dragon is hard to get rid of. Colossal Fighter can beat it in battle. That's why it's popular, and thus not the Synchro everybody hates. Argument over.

Apparently it's also popular against Lightsworn. If it gets Honest'd, it can come right back.

Good point. But if they make Dark End Dragon and Light End Dragon in English, I bet people choose them over Colossal Fighter.

Dark End, yes. It's really good, and also Honest-proof. Light End, probably not.

Dark End I agree on (it's also Stardust-proof, as it SENDS the monsters to the Graveyard). But I could see Light End being in a Lightsworn deck or something, just in case. It's not a great card, but one that doesn't hurt to have around.

Like Colossal Fighter, which AGAIN goes back to Colossal Fighter not being useless.
I'ma delete this thread, unless you really want to keep it, since it seems everything's been resolved.

Anyway, I got a look at Colossal Fighter/Assault Mode.
Pretty darn nasty card, don't you think?

Not really. It's useful as one of few /Assault Modes whose Synchro mode doesn't require anything specific, but the effect's actually worse than regular Colossal Fighter. And the art's hilarious.

I think the effect is an improvement. Weakening opponent's monsters is just as good as strengthening yours, and with this version your other monsters could probably take out an opponent. So why exactly do you see it as worse?

If you're hitting directly, regular Colossal Fighter will likely deal more damage. And they cut out the self-revival ability for the basic /Assault Mode destruction effect. They should've given it a souped-up revival effect.

Hmm... yeah, I do kinda miss that self-revival effect. But let's be honest; that might make the card TOO strong. As for hitting directly, you make a good point, but with the current Metagame a direct attack by this guy won't likely go through. And if it gets Sakuretsu'd, the regular fighter returns (with 100 extra attack for Assault Mode). I'm not saying it's broken, but it certainly is good.

Why wouldn't direct attacks happen with Colossal Fighter/Assault Mode? When was the last time you ever had a 3000+ ATK monster and just beat the game by killing your opponent's attack-position monsters?

I didn't say it wouldn't happen; I said it wouldn't go through. With Heavy Storm, Giant Trunade and MST at one, and Dust Tornado easy to overcome on the turn you set it, one cannot always get rid of nasty Sakuretsu Armors and Mirror Forces. And when they go off, he brings back Colossal Fighter. It's a theory of mine that due to these monsters' effects, they'll be used as test dummies to be blown up because they'll just revive their counterparts.

Close. The plan is you attack with Colossal Fighter. They try to Sakuretsu it, THEN you Assault Mode it and attack directly. Which works quite a bit worse for Colossal than any other /Assault Mode, because - as I've stated several times - its ATK will likely be lower than the original.

And when they pull a second Sakuretsu, or Dimensional Prison, or Mirror Force etc., then what?

Then you shouldn't have summoned a big monster without a Heavy Storm, Giant Trunade, etc. Look - if you summon a big monster, it's because you want to win with it. Most of the time it's by attacking directly. Colossal Fighter is better at that than Colossal Fighter/Assault Mode. End of story. Stop bringing up irrelevancies.
