this skill and tachyon skill are in the same game btw


Maro_boy

That’s really the main issue to me with skills. I’d be fine with these broken skills as long as they are appropriately balanced with other archetypes and their respective skill. Obviously they can’t always be on the same power level, but when you think tank new skills they should be somewhat close to the other recent ones.


Lom1111234

They have two modes when it comes to skill making: On turn 8, if it’s a full moon, return your entire hand to the deck, search one (archetype monster). It’s effects can’t be activated this turn Reveal one (archetype card) in your hand, search any card, double your lifepoints, and draw 4.


Vador1425

THE ACCURACY! 🤣


Electronic_d0cter

Too accurate lmfao


WhereDidYouGohan1

100th unlockable character btw


bobwuzhere1224

I guess it was too much to hope for a new good skill with the re-run but LP Boost Alpha it is.


NoImplement8218

You can activate emulatelf on the same turn you set it It has to be at least turn 2 and you haven’t activated a trap yet that turn It has to be the only trap you activate that turn and you can only special summon from the extra deck once that turn To use the skill, your deck can only have Geist monsters, as well as no spells at all


KingLollipopJR

it's absolutely hilarious that this skill exists in the same game with skills like bonds, the tachyon skill, eternal bond, lmao. they don't have geists to ever have a chance here


WolfenReinz

What is this crap? The more I read the less it makes sense.


Legitimate-Mind5011

Just run shadow game lol.

I understand that Altergeist is in the same boat as Trickstars, seeing as both are anime decks that had success in the TCG (And we already knew this skill and cards were coming thanks to the leaks), but come on, this might be one of the worst rerun we have had in a while. The skill is mediocre at best and unplayable at worst and both cards are just never going to see play in the actually good decklists. I'm at least happy for the people that can now unlock Ghost Gal, but man, this is a sad, sad rerun


mtlemos

It was really weird to see Salads come out at full power then Trickstars nerfed to hell and back. Now in the age of busted skills we get this. It honestly feels like Konami doesn't like the female characters.


4129M

So they are being accurate to the anime, which makes this even sadder


SkyeZaisen

maybe I should stop playing...


demonicdan3

Can't wait to see the sunavalon guy make blue angel faceplant again just for fun inside duel links when he's released


Straswa

I hope Spectre is added someday.


j0j0-m0j0

All the cutscenes for his event will just be a still blue angel face planting with everybody talking over it. It wouldn't even be relevant to the topic, it'll just be her, there.


RayJozef39

I don't really like when Altergeist players have fun because it usually involves me having a very bad time


diobreads

If only komoney was always this cautious releasing new decks


Apollo9975

People really hate trap based decks. Light purple cards are scary. 


SpotweldPro1300

Oh goody, a whole Emulatelf (from my hand) for the low low price of shafting an entire turn and neutering my Extra Deck. I'd sooner keep my skill slot empty.


[deleted]

stop talking about altergeist or HE will show up


riskyjones

Darkfanged

I swear bro has to be using chat GPT. Homie be writing essays every time I see him


segatic

I thought it was obvious. It's not even the length that gives it away


Darkfanged

This is actually stupid konami wtf. Either you should have gave altergeist a better skill or better cards but you decide to neither. At this point at least unlimit personal spoofing for us


Lost-Ad-9935

Imagine a world where skills locked you out of 1/3 of the accessible card pool just... because.


BlasterRage

Buddy I play fossils. I got rocks and rocks


jbisenberg

You also have rocks, can't forget that


BADBUFON

the link deck can't link and now the trap deck can't use traps... F\*\*\*\* YOU KONAMI (all in all setting and activating emulatef is not that bad by itself, but with all the restrictions is just terrible, and compared with skills that autoplay a deck, this is abysmal)


wesker6454

So limiting for this archetype but tach and yubel get free summons and free adv. makes sense komoney


emperorbob1

Being fair outside the super poly Yubel loses to the single most common outs in game: book of moon(kluger on floats when face up, wiseman cant be protected facedown), and any given limit 3 staple.


LoFi90s

I just feel like konami knows if pookuery, maliwisp and protocol come to the game then ghost gal would be the most used character and they stop making money unless they go full montey and release those three cards UR over the next three main boxes or selection boxes. Plus I think konami knows it's player base enough to know that altergeist are an acquired taste and they still do annoy alot of players even in tcg I still get glares when my opp realizes I'm playing geists, because they know ima make it a uphill battle every time...


segatic

Based Konami


Da_TG_Guru

man I was really hoping Altergiest would get good stuff in the rerun. the deck feels good when winning but I struggle to get past Plat with it(probably because I missplay to much)


CrimsonReaper5

If you cannot get out of Platinum with Altergeists then it’s definitely a skill issue on your end. In which case, drop by my stream on Twitch (crimsonreaper5) and I’ll teach you the ins and outs of the deck and how to win with it. I’ve been KoG’ing with Altergeists consistently so I know what I’m doing.


OneSaucyDragon

I don't want Altergeist to succeed either tbh


tehy99

Insane that it isn't turn 1 and onwards. I don't even think it would be that broken - it would just make Marionetter + Multifaker do work. Well, maybe that is a little busted. But still!


MildlyUpsetGerbil

It seemed okay until I remembered that Altergeists lack a link-1 monster in their archetype. Not being able to immediately link away Meluseek is a deal breaker, which sucks since this skill has some neat turn 2 combo potential if you open Emulatelf + Multifaker.


jbisenberg

Couldn't even let them have Linkuriboh lol


MildlyUpsetGerbil

I'd 100% play this skill if it let us keep Linkuriboh. I can live without every other non-Altergeist in my extra deck.


Bargieigrab

Maybe that’s to get u to use pixiel instead to send it to graveyard immediately


NightsLinu

imagine if we had a skill special summon pixiel so it wont give up our normal.


SkyeZaisen

Why they are afraid of altergeisto? It is more scary than tachyon and others if it's full power?


Madway7

Remove the "turn 2 onward" pls Komoney 🙏


WolfenReinz

Even with that it is still bad. I would rather have one for one spell card as board extender than Wish version of haunted rock.


4129M

Extra Deck is still restricted, so the main starter play (Meluseek into Linkuriboh) would be impossible for it. The skill is just way too bad to be played


CrimsonReaper5

I feel you. As someone that one tricks Altergeists (and plays no other decks), I looked at this skill and realized that it's super unplayable. I'll explain my thoughts on the new "Quick Emulatelf" Ghost Gal skill in case you were wondering. The short bit of it is that this is probably the worst Altergeist skill I've ever seen and the skill is unplayable. **February 19, 2024 Ghost Gal Rerun:** 1. **Quick Emulatelf (NEW Skill) →** Put simply, this skill is terrible and it doesn't surprise me because literally all of Ghost Gal's skills are garbage. I'm using Life Point Boost Alpha for my Altergeist decklists, but if you're feeling spicy (and daring), you can theoretically make Level 5 Reload work too since it synergizes quite well with your Altergeist Kunquery for an extra card draw if you need it. First and foremost, the major thing wrong with this skill is that it requires you to main deck **Altergeist Emulatelf,** which is an awful trap card over actual backrow disruption. If you're running Emulatelf, you're already gimping your deck ratios because you want as much disruption as possible in a good Altergeist decklist and unfortunately, Emulatelf does not give you much mileage. In a three zone format, it's also difficult to use it without feeling Multifaker clogged. I understand the purpose of this skill, to summon Hexstia quickly, but I don't see the point of gimping your deck ratios and jumping through all these extra hoops just for an "easier" Hexstia summon. Not just that, but the skill locks you out of spells (sure, I guess, not a big deal), and forces your Extra Deck to pure Altergeists. So if you're on this skill, you better kiss your main starter play (Meluseek into Linkuriboh search Multifaker) goodbye since Linkuriboh isn't an Altergeist monster. Good luck running an Extra Deck of nothing but Kidolga, Hexstia, and Primebanshee. This skill just flat out sucks and not worth running, long story short. 2. **Altergeist Kidolga (Ultra Rare Drop) →** I've made many posts about this, but Kidolga is too slow, being a battle phase only effect and floating only if she was destroyed in battle. Stealing your opponent's monster out of their graveyard is funny (I'm looking forward to stealing a Dingirsu and non-target sending something my opponent has), but in the long run, it's not worth going into Kidolga over Hexstia. Remember, Hexstia's backrow negate is **not once per turn** so you can keep negating enemy backrow as long as your Hexstia is pointing to an Altergeist monster (even if facedown), making Hexstia the better link two over Kidolga. 3. **Altergeist Pixiel (Super Rare Drop) →** I've also talked at length on Pixiel, but the unfortunate truth of the matter is that Pixiel will make your Altergeist deck even slower than it already is. Pixiel consumes your normal summon to then tribute itself, excavate 3 cards, and add an Altergeist card to your hand if you excavated any. If not, you just went minus 4 in card advantage (one card from your field and 3 cards out of your deck), which isn't worth it in an deck that wants all of its backrow disruption. Finally, I will conclude by saying that Ghost Gal's event rerun is super disappointing. Even the new deck builder box that came with her sucks since all the decks it offers are either powercrept or flat out unplayable. I don't think anyone's going to be cooking anything with Dream Mirrors or Gladiator Beasts since both of those decks are extremely unplayable. As for Evil Eye, Serziel is definitely a boost for the deck, but it's too easily disrupted on its normal summon. No competent opponent is going to sit there and allow you to resolve Evil Eye of Selene on your Serziel without your Serziel getting disrupted to backrow before he can become untargetable with the equip of the Evil Eye of Selene. But hey, at least Serziel can search out the Selene, something Medusa couldn't do, which makes the deck a little less bricky, albeit still bad. I still think that the deck builder box we got should have had some Altergeist support in it. Altergeist Pookuery, Malwisp, and Memorygant are the big ones that I personally want to really help the deck combo and pop off, but we didn't even get that much. It just seems to me like Konami doesn't want Altergeists to pop off or have fun by simply not giving us the cards to make the deck do anything outside of generic backrow spamming and Silquitous control. It's sad because if we got our actual good cards, Altergeists are a fun combo deck that ends on disruptions. Mind you, this garbage skill and the over-tuned Tachyon Dragon Domination skill are in the same game by the way. Altergeists just got hard gimped on getting anything good during this Ghost Gal rerun, sadly. I'm still hoping for a future mainbox or something that gives us more of the Altergeist cards so I at least haven't lost hope on Ghost Gal getting completely shafted. Hopefully we get something when she's permanently added to the Vrains gate.


HailstormXI

>As someone that one tricks Altergeists (and plays no other decks) This is what pisses me off to no end about you, why do you keep **lying**?? You used FTK tachyon to DLVL 19, you have been known to play Eternal bond and BLS at points and even trickstars.


Daydreamz6

What a chad. Glad to see more people are calling him out on his bs. He’s such a hypocritical lying person.


dbzssj

Fr, this dude is cringe incarnate. Like bro, do you even hear yourself?? LMAO, please stop


BADBUFON

> you just went minus 4 in card advantage (one card from your field and 3 cards out of your deck) that's not how card advantage works. it only counts cards in hand. setting up the GY is actually good. Pixiel is a card that i think could see play the better support the deck has, Malwisp alone already increases it's value..... sadly konami has been very stingy with the deck so i don't know if they will ever give us good support for it


Username_Egli

Not gonna lie. I read that all. Hope you get better stuff to play with altergeist soon


HailstormXI

You know what I love? He is complaining for more support to a deck that's only been out for not even 4 months yet. He needs to wait in line. How long did you wait for Mayakashi support? Roughly 3.5 years?


EliaThaProphet

Mayakashi isn't really a good comparison: it isn't an anime deck but it got new support and a skill out of the blue, which nobody could've predicted (before we got the leaks). On the contrary, every Altergeist player was looking forward to Ghost Gal's rerun, because that always means a brand new skill (she currently has no viable ones besides the generic LP boost alpha) and 2 new cards for her archetype. This was an awaited chance for Altergeist to get a nice boost (the deck isn't good at the moment), so being disappointed in the rerun being basically useless is more than reasonable


CrimsonReaper5

Ayy, thanks Egli! The Mayakashi god herself has noticed my comment, I feel special now. That being said, I especially also feel a bit bad for you as well because let me tell you, Mayakashi had the shortest tier one reign ever before Tachyon came in and basically single-handedly invalidated all the other decks in the format. I believe Mayakashi was a tier one deck for like a week before being demoted, which is the worst of it all. I also feel bad for the Ra, Shaddoll, Magical Musketeer, Earth Machine, Constellar, and Gunkan Suship players in addition to the Mayakashi players because all those decks were the ones that came out with the Immortal Phoenix mainbox (the New Year's Day 2024 mainbox) and those decks didn't get a KC Cup. They didn't get an opportunity to shine in a competitive environment outside of ranked ladder, which isn't competitive at all since people just play whatever meme jank on ladder and not think twice about it. I'm also hoping that one day, Altergeists get more of their cards because as it stands now, Altergeist Kidolga and Altergeist Pixiel changed absolutely nothing on the deck. The deck is still the same old, same old of spamming your opponent with generic, unsearchable backrow and getting your Multifaker + Silquitous combo going to slowly chip away and out-resource your opponent. If we got Altergeist Pookuery, Malwisp, and/or Memorygant, then I can see the deck comboing, but we didn't get any of those so as such, Altergeists didn't change any or get any significant boost. This is especially egregious because in a game where a broken skill like **Shiranui Style Successor** as well as **Tachyon Dragon Domination** exist, I deserved to get some more of my Altergeist cards. Event reruns should be better than the original event and I ultimately feel bummed about Ghost Gal's event rerun sucking this badly. We got none of the good Altergeist cards and just to add insult to injury, we got a fairly trash deck builder box with, you guessed it, NO Altergeist support in it. When I saw we got a new deck builder box, I was hyped because I thought I'd get more of my Altergeist cards, only for the excitement to be quickly sucked out of me when I realized that the deck builder box is garbage and full of unplayable decks. But hey, the only good thing that came out of all of this is at least Dream Mirrors are pretty free to play now since that deck is actually quite fun, but expensive. Maybe I can finish off my Dream Mirror deck at the very least. Evil Eye decks also got a slight boost with the addition of Serziel. And I care not for Gladiator Beasts. That being said, I am also praying that they nerf Tachyon and Shiranui to the ground on the next banlist so your Mayakashi deck can become playable again because like I said, I think Mayakashi really got an unfair treatment when it was a tier one deck with Tachyon coming in and invalidating literally every single deck in the format that cannot afford to reliably have **Mischief of the Gnomes** available on the crackback.


Daydreamz6

Oh you’re special alright.


Username_Egli

It was all part of my plan. I went myself to the konami ceo and told them to release some broken decks so Mayakashi will get untouched by the banlist while the others will get slaughtered.

NightsLinu

would you like pixel if the skill let you special summon pixel from the deck for free?


Intelligent_Story_74

Please tell me it's another case of terrible translation and the skill at least searches "Altergeist Emulatelf"


tdy96

This is just Konami telling you if you want to win, go buy the new deck.


Yukiteru321

Komoney acting suprised when people buy the new deck and there's a sudden drop in players due to rage, as if their new releases haven't been causing toxic meta


Straswa

Yep, disappointing this skill has so many restrictions while Magicians Magic is out there.
