  • Thankful for Yu-Gi-Oh Coverage in Audio Format

    These guys always have a great and level-headed attitude in discussing games and culture. They’re excellent hosts for this show. I’m just glad this exists, it scratches an itch for me. I need to be up on this stuff and can’t just have YouTube playing all the time. This actually helps me keep up-to-date while reducing screentime, compared to video coverage. But their vids are great too! Excellent work. Thank you.

  • Really enjoying your podcast

    Hey guys, first time providing a review, honestly forgot how to since I listen you guys on Apple lol

    I do have a question. Given the current direction of the game, while pendulum is the least popular mechanic, do you think there’s any chance that Konami would make a Cybersecurity based pendulum archetype? I ask because Cyberse is the only type that doesn’t have at least one monster that is also a pendulum. And if so, how do you think its strategy would be?
