This week, we’re talking about Pendulum Summoning and different ideas for how to make use of it! Yesterday we talked about monsters with effects that activate when they’re Special Summoned. Pendulum Summoning is a big Special Summon, so these monsters are the perfect building blocks of a Pendulum Powered strategy! Today we’ll be going over powerful monsters that can out-muscle your opponent when you Pendulum Summon them. Read more…

Today marks the launch of Super Starter: Space-Time Showdown, and the dawn of the 5th generation of Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG monsters! But the introduction of Pendulum Monsters isn’t the only thing that’s changing in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG – there are also changes the basic rules of Dueling for the first time in a very long time. You can read about them in the Beginner’s Guide that comes with each Super Starter, and we’ll go over them today here on the Strategy Site as well. Remember, if you’re playing in the North American World Championship Qualifier this weekend, these changes are NOT in effect! If you’re playing in other tournaments this weekend, for example, a weekly tournament at your local OTS, the cards from Space-Time Showdown, including the Pendulum Monsters, are legal and the new Pendulum Zones are added to the field. There’s a Pendulum Summon Tutorial video available here. The actual changes to the basic rules do not come into effect until Monday, July 14th! That’s the same day as the new Forbidden & Limited Cards List goes into effect! For a summary of what’s changed, read on. Read more…
