Honestly, I'm looking forward to expanding the group, Altergeists are pretty fun of a deck.

I don't like that they got a snatch steal that reads permanently and on both players turns.

It's similar to Baronne being "once while face-up on the field", so if you want more steals, you really need to get quick access to Revitalization and ways to recycle it, which might make getting to Protocol trickier, and Protocol is the backbone of the deck.

Honestly every one of these is pretty good, glad they didn't screw them over.

cant say im that excited for altergeist support but I feel like naming one penetrator was a poor choice

Well, all Altergeists are named after different IT things, and such it makes sense to have that name.

Plus, I don't think it's THAT bad.

[Thain]

In addition, previous Altergeists getting reprinted for them in June.

Welp, see these cards 12 months later. Make a guess, is it going to be in Selection pack or update to secret pack?

Also also, Mythical Beast Chimera getting full revamp as well.

However, there is still no news on what is the main story for series 12 booster box and there isn't much unannounce card slots left and it is going to be release 4 days later.

Or you just banish her till end of round and get her put back at end. There are a few cards who do that and reset her.

Actually, the best way to use her without going out of your way with random spells and traps who's single use is to reset her effect, is to have her tribute herself for the effect, then bring her back with either Revitalization or Manifestation, which is something I already mentioned.

While a strong effect, it's not an effect that you should go out of your way to add bricks to the deck just for that purpose when you can just play normally.

Now if only the deck would get an easier access to Personal Spoofing, since that thing's not an Altergeist card, it can't be set from the deck, but it's really important.

The most toxic decks get random new support while Eldlich gets nothing as usual by Komoney. There were countless Branded Eldlich players and they let one of the most beginner friendly decks simple die and the new player counts.

In his mind, a deck is only a "control deck" if it runs as many floodgates as possible, so instead of being happy that a fan favorite control deck is getting support, he cries that it's not a floodgate.dek that gets the support.

Honestly, it's like these people are allergic to skill.

I am surprised hes not a fan my main experience of altergeist is secret village skill drain turbo seems up his alley maybe the cards having text is intimidating

[Gambot]

Really not a fan of the new support. I don't think you'd even run any of the cards except maybe Malwisp as a one of to search with Meluseek. Revitalization is a significantly worse Manifestation, Perinetrator doesn't do anything and the link 4 is just okay.

My guess is that it's because those have more counterplay, and you can't just stack 5 floodgates on top of eachother and call it a day.

Skill Drain works nicely because Protocol makes the geists immune to it, but you can't search Protocol if you have Skill Drain up first, so you can't just "monke flip purple card", and while Village is strong, the geists aren't very big bodies, so unless you have multiples out, I can just not use spells and run over them.

So you actually have to think a little, what are you bouncing with Silq, when are you tributing with Protocol to negate? One hilarious one that I faced tributed his only geist, shutting down Village, so he just handed me the game then and there.

Basically, deck requires some processing power, rather than "flip purple card and win"

[Aldain]

You know all this is doing is making me feel false hope that they'll do some sort of VRAINS sequel series and give the cast a second shot at well...actually being characters with some better pacing.

Because good googly moogly did the entire cast of VRAINS get screwed by the tumultuous development problems behind the scenes.
