I'm a nerd; I'll admit that with pride but something I can't get my head around is why Yu-Gi-Oh! has Pendulum cards now. The system itself is broken and using a deck like that against the ones before it is like pinning Exodia against Joey Wheelers first deck with nothing but monster cards in it. game over and quick.
See this is how Pendulum works:
The cards are both spells and monster cards. the top effect box is for the spell aspect and the bottom is the monster effect or detail if the monster is 'normal' or with no effect.
now on each card you have a red and blue symbol and say you have on that is a 9 and the other is 1. well if you play them in the pendulum spell zones they become spells and now you have a 1 one the left and the 9 on the right. you are now able to Pendulum summon cards ranging from levels 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Now you're probably wondering 'how's that broken? it seems great,' yeah if you don't like a challenge. I'm serious the system is broken and as much a cheating move as building a Exodia deck. You're summoning 5 monsters to then I don't know fusion, syncro, or XYZ summon others so fast your opponent has absolutely no fighting chance in hell against you. Where's the fun in that? I thought Yu-Gi-Oh! was about having FUN playing cards but recently it's all about money, glory and other crap to a point even the company is making bullshit cards and decks that people are saying they should all be banned.
in my opinion, Pendulums are another version of Exodia and they are broken.
