    Its worse because you need another cards from another box to make decent deck.
    Basically this box support for already existing archetype.
    The one you could build from this box only True Draco without Master Peace.

    This box could've had Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon, Vortex, Brave-Eyes, Ladyange, Gentrude, Dissolver, Seer...
    But no, let's dump the kitchen sink and some Performapal stall cards for good measure (which I bet are going to be limited)
    Idk what's going on with Konami, but I hope they fire whoever came up with this mess of a box

  • @prestigedDL
    @prestigedDL 14 днів тому +9

    This is painful. Would have been way better off as a mini box with just predaplant support (like we already got for speedroid) if they were going to throw all this filler in, they should have at least put SOME other valuable cards in it
    At least we can save gems 😅

    If someone is interested: Box Chips got an upgrade on it's card pool, finally I'm able to use Burial from another Dimension for zombies and finished my missing madolce cards.
    I'm not even sure to pull from that box even if droplet is in it, it just provides nothing of value except Yuris Monster, but I'm pretty sure soon in half a year or so there will be a signature monster campaign for arc 5 so I don't know if I want to bother with that.
    I hope droplet would not come into that box, because it will become one of the worst staples to get if it does, because the box itself does not provide any meaningful value on anything, if you're not interested in the specific archetypes. What's making it even worse for Droplet, is the shortage of UR dreamtickets in the future, because Konami think's to push more and more SR Dream Tickets into our throat, while we wait endlessly for an UR DT. (both formats suffer from that imo)

    @RaineBans 14 днів тому +4

    this set not only makes no sense in the rarity choices, the choices of archetypes, the unimaginative name, has reptiles and is called starving venom but has no venom reptiles, has cards nobody wanted. support for a deck that coulda just gotten stuff off the banlist as support, forces you to go into other boxes to make use of what you pull, has filler instead of being a mini, a card pushed by a skill that could just do bunch of other better pend stuff instead, has dark tuner pends they want you to use with odd eyes wing but not putting level manipulation effect to the skill you want you to use with those cards. support for stun which is not a thing in this game (not the kind that would use heavenly prison anyway), releasing cards that would be good way back and not even hiding that they arent aware of them. did i miss anything else?

    I think it woul have been better if they just decided to split the box up into 2 mini boxes simular to what they did with rush. Just a box for predaplant, ghosttrick & reptiles and a box for cyberdragon, darklords & ancient worriors. This way everyone happy.

    Ghostrick jackfrost will ruin someone's day, though it doesn't do anything against link monsters. Despite this, i'm still pretty excited about it, if only for being another non-OPT handtrap that can mess up your opponent's on-board disruption. That said, a lot of decks can't use it because of skill issues.
    Edit: And if nothing else it's cheaper than the ritual that stops battle

      @crimsonreaper5293 14 днів тому

      Yeah pretty much what Mekklord said, Icy. I love my Darklords because if you know me, I love my control decks and unfortunately, Darklord is quite literally unplayable without x3 copies of their searcher, Banishment of the Darklords. Without Banishment of the Darklords, you're relying on hard opening Darklord Ixchel or going into weird lines to get Indulged Darklord's effect activated to search out Ixchel. It's a lot of extra hoops you're jumping through and at that point, you're losing out on a ton of card advantage if you don't have Banishment of the Darklords.
      This is made worse by the fact that your Darklord monsters are notorious for copying the effects of your Darklord backrow, meaning that once you get your Darklords on field, you have a chance to get another search off of that Banishment of the Darklords you already used up by simply copying its effect from your Darklord monsters.
      Mekklord is correct though. The Starving Venom mainbox is a really bad box overall since it provides nothing of value. You need to run through this box thrice for the Cyber Dragon and Ghostrick stuff and even then, for Cyber Dragons specifically, you probably need to invest in other boxes and Structure Decks to fully furnish the deck. This mainbox is just full of garbage that no one asked for while also providing nothing of value to get your favorite deck of choice fully built, which is a shame. In terms of intrinsic net value, Starving Venom is a very weak box in what it offers. Oh, and did I forget to mention that it's literally two Mainboxes in a row? This should have been a Minibox if Konami wanted to pollute the box with a ton of garbage no one asked for.
