water basket sounds like th name of a really shitty old yu gi oh card

like a magic card that gives your opponent 250 life points

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-14 03:05:47

waterbasket is a sacred ritual.

Obā-san · 2014-01-14 03:08:19

does it give your opponent 250 life points?

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-14 03:09:36

....

maybe

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-14 03:11:11

you know what always bugged me about certain yu-gi-oh cards?

ones with weird ATK/DEF denominations. Like, ending something in "50" in a game that has HP in the thousands is just cheeky, but then you got really weird shit like one or two cards with values that ended in 75, and one I remember vividly that had 1015 as its ATK.

Reaper of the Cards: 1380 ATK, 1930 DEF

Obā-san · 2014-01-14 03:16:06

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-14 03:24:49

it's not a legendary foil so I'm afraid you've failed at your mission.

I heard Yu-Gi-Oh! was a melding of like six different card games in one. Mechanics and all.

I don't really understand collectible card games. And even more so I can't do mathematics that involve more than two digits quickly.

Collectible card games are not for me.

er, no?

It was initially heavily based on Magic The Gathering but they've diverged a lot over the years.

Whoever told you that was a big ol' nerd.

HEY SO I FOUND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED

turns out that those cards were printed after appearing in the show, and in their only appearance, were being buffed by a (fictional) field spell card to have their stats increased by 30%. Yeah not fixed values, percent.

So when they were printed they ended up with weird stats.

you've known me since like 2008 how do you not know Waterbasket

Hexartes · 2017-01-21 22:48:30

Man, I miss cheesy därk phäntasy era YuGiOh

I liked its early mechanics and general aesthetic a lot more appealing than whatever it is now... or has been for the past, like, at least ten years.

Salix Babylonika · 2017-01-21 22:54:40
