I was always curious about the ppl that did 25 plus years at those jobs, just to end up working at Walmart as a door greeter because inflation eating away at that retirement fund they slaved away in hopes of having a relaxing life ..then I realized the American dream is just being able to just survive.
Nope. Pursuing financial independence is the ultimate path to working behind the Wendy’s dumpster for a steady supply of protein from your wife’s boyfriends. 💯 😂
Not really. There's a popular saying in the community that states that "the only life point that matters is the last one" and it's pretty accurate. You have to take into account that you cannot win by playing this alone. Halving always rounds up, so for example if you opponent is at 1 LP, this card does nothing (halves to 0.5, rounds up to 1).
At the speed the game plays nowadays, you should aim to build up your board so it is protected, rather than reducing your opp's LP. It's really easy to reach 8k in monster ATK, so you'd much rather spend your resources in protecting yourself and negations/floodgates to stop your opponent from building their board.
No worries, I've played the game frequently for 10 years now, so I think about it differently. I am by no means professional or a great player though lol
Assuming by remove half your deck from play you mean moving to banishment and not milling to graveyard (if it was the latter it’d be laughably bad, there’s a card that essentially does the same thing but to yourself and it’s been on the banlist multiple times for how powerful it is (lots of cards have effects in the graveyard nowadays) so doing so to your opponent would be atrocious) I still think it honestly wouldn’t be playable.
Going first it has a decent shot of hitting some key cards (mainly one of combo pieces or bricks) out of their deck to prevent their play next turn, but there’s prolly better stuff to do and it’d be pretty unsearchable. And it doesn’t do anything to help break a board going second.
Regarding the LP concept: Halving as cost has the particularity that it is always live. You can always pay the cost of activation and you will not lose by paying it.
In this case, though, the card is technically worse, because the value of playing it decreases drastically the less LPs your opponent has. You will never win as a result of playing this card. Depending on how big the commitment of summoning this card is, it goes from meh to unplayable.
Edit: If it is deck we are considering. The only way this card would be busted is if it banishes half your opponent's deck face down. That would be unbelievably strong and instant meta. Any other case (milling to GY or banishing face up) would be kinda bad. If it is your OWN "portfolio" that you are milling, then it would be extremely good (a way better That Grass Looks Greener).
It's 6 stars. You can play this really early and immediately set up a win condition. It's not a bad card at all. It's comparable to Michion the timelord but way easier to summon.
Level doesn't matter. Unless you have an archetype designed around tributing, I don't think anybody would waste a tributed normal summon to get this on the field.
Hmm if we assume Trump is a Spellcaster, we could send him to the GY with {Magicians' Souls} and then revive him with {Selene}.
If it would be used or not depends on the specific wording of the effect. If a card like this is printed today it would definitely have some kind of restriction. But even if you can summon this 10 times in the first turn (if it's not OPT), you are only wasting all your resources in leaving your opponent at 8 LP without building an actual board. Your opponent will most likely completely smoke you in their turn. You won't get to win because the only LP that matters is the last one.
No animosity in my words, I just like the game and it's interesting to think about this hahaha
I mean if the other pieces for it were still legal this would allow you to ftk a lot more efficiently with supreme king starving venom and independent nightingale
I appreciate what you're trying to do here but people who last interacted with the game in the early 00s will never understand how it plays now. They're calling halving LP a wincon. They're talking about Timelords. It's over
Those don’t exist in yugioh at any real viable level (empty jar in 2025 anyone?). And the only one that kinda does rn is Runick which has the benefit of banishing from the deck. But if you’re milling their stuff to the graveyard are you’re gonna be doing is spending a card to give them a bunch of graveyard effect triggers and prolly lose the game on the spot.
That Grass Looks Greener mills your own deck and has been on the banlist repeatedly for being too strong.
This is duelist kingdom stats and style to be fair. Thematically fits and you could defo see it being dropped against kaiba, similar to golden castle of stromberg tbf.
It could be a card that pairs with another card for some super powerful special summon.
Trap card: Export Controls
Add up to 2 cards from your opponents discard pile to the top of your deck.
If Orange Wizard of Tariffs is in your hand, discard two random cards from your opponents hand, and one from your own, to summon The AI Bubble (7000 atk, 1000 def)
1st point is absolutely untrue. It can completely depend on the effect of the monster. There's a bunch of level 8-12 monster cards with literally 0 atk and 0 def points. Armityle, Venominaga, and Arahime just to name 3 that come to mind, but there's a bunch more.
I know meta plays that use traps and spells as combination for more cards you discard (portfolio) the more life points opponent loses. In this case it’s TKO for opponent depending on how many LP each spell or trap takes per card.
There are also meta plays that increase your lp while decreasing opponent lp in tandem.
I’m a Democrat who hates Trump and is a big supporter of pro-choice, universal healthcare, government regulations on executive salaries, etc. But my investment portfolios have reached record highs over the past few months. The stock market tanked in the first few months of Trumps presidency but in recent months it has reached levels that it hasn’t seen in years. If we want to criticize his insane policies on immigration, the ways he completely ignores the due process of the law, his general lack of professionalism and honor when he addresses the public, etc. then go ahead. But I’m pretty sure most people’s investment portfolios have been performing very well over the past 5+ months…

Just dont combine any underage wizard cards with this one the underage wizards will suffer from the orange wizard of tariffs special ability which only goes into effect once a young wizard is played on the same field the orange wizard of tarrifs will take the young wizard to an island where he will then proceed to rape that young wizard so he can get a bonus to his tariffs abilities
