Since 2020 was such an awful year overall, I'm thinking of starting with a clean(ish) slate:

Sorry for all those patiently waiting, but I decided to cancel EG:DM for good. I just couldn't get myself to work on it for a variety of reasons. Mainly the fact that the source material just doesn't appeal to me anymore. Trying to get any kind of inspiration from indulging in YGO was next to impossible, with the anime itself becoming too non-occult for my liking, and the game itself just becoming increasingly unfun and just lacking any heart and excitement, let alone how long it takes to just

Forgot to put these up last time, so here's some additions to the Time Thief archetype:

Time Thief Resonation Wand
Equip Spell
Equip only to a “Time Thief” Xyz monster. When the equipped monster battles, the target monster loses 300 ATK and DEF for each Xyz Material attached to the equipped monster until after the Damage Step. If this card is sent from the field to the GY, add 1 ‘Time Thief’ card from your deck to your hand.

Time Thief Jump Module

So it seems some people are unaware of the necessary changes made to EG:DM Arc 2 during the months of hiatus and the temporary cancelling of the project. If you look at the chapter titles, from Duel #23 to #30, they are marked as having been edited; this is because I went through the long and arduous process of changing Sunset's deck, as well as rewriting the duels with this new deck in play. The story remains largely unchanged, with some elements being added into it which will play a major

Due to some hesitations and regrets festering in my mind; for closure I decided to make a poll to see how you lot would feel about it:

A poll pertaining to the hypothetical continuation of EG:DM.

Adagio wins.

With the insistence I embrace Link monsters over on Discord; that means Adagio wins. She would have used Predaplants in the story; the only archetype among any of the main characters up to that point that has Link support. Decks without Links lose to those with them; a notion I've tested numerous times on YGOPRO.

Thanks to one of my readers for helpfully pointing out a mistake I made entailing Pendulum Monsters and how Overlays for Xyz Summoning work off them. I knew Pendulum Monsters don't go to the Graveyard from the field and do go to the Graveyard if sent from the hand, but I didn't know that when used as Overlay Units for Xyz Monsters they don't count as being on the field, hence I made quite the boo-boo in this chapter. As such
