Do note that Pendulum Summoning counts as exactly one Summon according to game mechanics. Therefore, a single Solemn Strike will negate the summon of all monsters that were Pendulum Summoned, since it counts as ONE summon of MULTIPLE monsters.

I think pendulum cards have no place in yugioh. This game is already a glorified game of solitaire as it is where the objective is to stop your opponent from playing the game at all.

@@HerrenGamingNewsOf course a yugiboomer would decry modern yugioh as solitaire while also praising the era of Yatalock, Goat control, and tele-DAD. Of all the summoning mechanics, pendulums are the most balanced. You get ONE pendulum summon a turn. That's all that needs to be negated. Meanwhile synchros and links are so easy to go plus and ladder they regularly win the Maxx C challenge. Fusions and XYZ are entirely built around ignoring the limitations of their own mechanics. XYZ summoning off of XYZ monsters, fusion summoning by shuffling monsters from the GY to the deck. Where's the balance in that? Not to mention the cards that promote control are mostly synchros (baron, demise) or fusions (dragoon). Pendulums, rituals, and tribute decks are the only ones that deserve any respect.

Part of the reason why there's only been one good one is due to the fact that at it's apex, the good one was really good. Konami knew how volatile they could get if they became consistent, hence why they're left in the state they're in. In duel links, the game is far more consistent, which makes this issue worse.

Like, a lot of the other cards were like that too. You would basically blow your cards up over and over and have all the cards you wanted to win. Like you also had zodiac and spryrals during that era and neither of those really used the mechanic at all and I honestly think pendulums are overly hated cause they had one insanely busted deck. The only other one during that era that came close was maybe full power pendulum magicians with zarc with lyralusc.

I love Pendulums. They are my favorite type of monster cards in the modern era. Admittedly, they are very complex to play, what with the massive amounts of text and the special rulings, but I just find them extremely fun and rewarding. Playing them effectively and defeating a strong opponent with them almost feels like cracking a puzzle. It's a shame they're in a bad spot in terms of the competitive play right now. Having an inherent three card combo mechanic just puts them at disadvantage against current top decks capable of using one card and two card combos. I really wish Konami would give them more support.

To not be overwhelmed by the long texts of Pendulums, you can just ignore one part of its text depending on where it is. If it's on the Pendulum zone, you can ignore its monster effect entirely. If it's anywhere outside the Pendulum Zone, you can ignore its Pendulum Effect. With this, you can ignore half of the card text of cards like Nirvana High Paladin. There are exceptions to this, particularly if you attempt to remove Pendulum cards from the pendulum zone (by destroying, banishing, etc.) because once they're destroyed, pendulum cards in the PZ will activate their Monster effects instead.

If a card or effect would be activated or applied in response to your pendulum summon of a monster: You can tribute 2 cards from your hand or field to negate the activation. The following effects are applied depending on the scales of any pendulum monsters in your pendulum zones:_ 0-4: If a Pendulum Monster from your hand or field would be sent to the GY or banished face-up: it is placed face-up in your extra deck instead. If a pendulum monster from your hand or field is banished facedown: You can add 1 “Pendulum” card from your field, deck or GY to your hand. 5-8: You can normal summon/set monsters with 1 less tribute, and change their battle positions after their summon/set. Once per turn, you can tribute 1 normal summoned/set monster you control: Place 1 pendulum monster from your GY or Extra deck into your pendulum zone. 9+: You can tribute 1 monster from your hand or field: Add 1 Pendulum monster to your hand (from your deck or GY) with a scale that matches that tribute’s level/rank/Link-rating.

Monsters that are not pendulum cards placed by this effect will be treated as pendulum monsters with a scale equal to 10 minus the level of the respective monster. If you have 2 or less cards in your hand, you can banish this card from your GY; add monsters from your GY to your hand up to the number of cards your opponent controls, then if you have no cards in your pendulum zones, you can also add this card to your hand.

Assuming Okay-ish Pendulum Scale of 2 and 7 .... and that's a 2500 ATK boost to ALL monsters you control. And as pointed out, those aren't exactly the best scales to be using... and it's good enough to double Dark Magician's atk..... so you might want to turn that down to maybe 200 or 300 instead of 500 so it's not giving quite a massive boost to every monster you control.

@@13KuriMaster Or 6000 ATK/DEF if the scales are 13-0… I see your point: _Pendulum Pandemonium_ Field Spell _You can add this card to your hand (from your field or GY) if you conduct and resolve a Pendulum Summon. This card cannot be destroyed by card effects while you control a monster in your pendulum zone. If you have 2 pendulum monsters in your pendulum zones, Monsters you control gain 250 ATK/DEF X the difference in their pendulum scales. If a card or effect would be activated or applied in response to your pendulum summon of a monster: You can tribute 2 cards from your hand or field to negate the activation. The following effects are applied depending on the scales of any pendulum monsters in your pendulum zones:_ 0-4: If a Pendulum Monster from your hand or field would be sent to the GY or banished face-up: it is placed face-up in your extra deck instead. If a pendulum monster from your hand or field is banished facedown: You can add 1 “Pendulum” card from your field, deck or GY to your hand. 5-8: You can normal summon/set monsters with 1 less tribute, and change their battle positions after their summon/set. Once per turn, you can tribute 1 normal summoned/set monster you control: Place 1 pendulum monster from your GY or Extra deck into your pendulum zone. 9+: You can tribute 1 monster from your hand or field: Add 1 Pendulum monster to your hand (from your deck or GY) with a scale that matches that tribute’s level/rank/Link-rating. Pendulum monsters in your pendulum zone are unaffected by the effects of opponents monsters who’s level/rank/link-rating match their pendulum scales. THERE, _now_ under normal circumstances, the ATK/DEF boost should be at most 3000. Still potent, just not “My mushroom man is going to fold your obelisk the tormentor like a pretzel” potent.

Another thing to point out is that pendulum cards in the pend zone still count as a monster *card* . I found out through the interactions between Deviser King Deus Machinex and Pend monsters. Setting your scales is an activation of a card (like activating a continuous spell). Deus Machinex can activate upon setting the scales. I was confused as well 🤷♂️
@AliacadosDuelistas
10 ай бұрын
This situation only happens when a card says "monster card", because, in its essence, Pendulum monsters are still monsters. That is why Machinex activated its effect. But cards like Divine Wrath or Skill Drain cannot affect Pendulum monsters on the Pendulum Zone, because they are talking about "monsters" and not the specific nomenclature "monster card"; so, they will just check cards that are counting as monsters on the field and not their "original form", as it were. It is almost the same issue with Crystal Beasts counting as Continous Spells on the field, for instance. It can be pretty confusing, I know :v

Small correction: At 4:06 and 11:03, you say that Pendulum Monsters are considered Continuous Spells while scaled. While they do act like Continuous Spells, they are *not* actually considered Continuous Spells. The difference doesn't come up very often, but it means that you can't destroy them with Spell Purification or use them to summon Hamon, for example.

I appreciate that someone would genuinely try to explain a seemingly complex mechanic in as short a time as possible, but man, looking at the title and then looking at the length is a whiplash. Watching it with minimal understanding of the modern game (i think the last time i played it was a game on the GBA) is really hard to follow. I have no problem playing complex games like GMT games or simulationist stuff but I think I'm just missing the thread. I don't understand how this game onboards new players!

Pendulum monster in Master rule 3 is the strongest since you can pen summon as many as possible as long your fullfill the requirements. Now master rule 4, it nerf by loosing 2 extra space at backrow and your can only pendulum summon pendulum monster extra deck to link monster point to, where this is does not occur before link monster introduce. Currently we don't have a very competitive pendulum deck. in OCG currently have a lot a new card support pendulum and some new card do double pendulum summon.

You can place both Pendulum monsters on the field in the same turn to start Pendulum summoning right away?

It was really bizarre when I stopped playing after high school around the synchro era and when I came back there were these weird monster zones in the middle and pendulum zones. And all the rules about pendulum monsters and the extra deck were difficult to wrap my head around. I tried to get used to it when pendulum became a thing in Duel Links but it was ultimately the thing that made me lose interest, when so many effects would happen at once and I'd have to use up a lot of time trying to parse what and how things happened in the previous turn.
