Oh, and something fun: Both of the Number 69s effects are literally just the anime effects they removed from the original Number 69 when they decided to print it. They separated it into two monsters because in the duel, Number 69 changed forms based on which effect it activated. Early 2010s Konami was very scared of releasing the Heraldry Numbers as is into the physical card game and for good reason - so both Number 8 and Number 69 got most of their effects knocked off and the remaining ones nerfed into the ground (for example, anime Number 69's Skill Drain effect applied to every other monster - not just Xyz - and IIRC was a permanent, continuous effect).
Now we just need: Number c8 Number c18 A version of "Rank Up Magic - Argent Chaos Force" that is both searchable and can actually rank up the Heraldry Numbers (yes, it was made by Vetrix/Tron to rank up ALL of the Arclight Numbers, including his own, and yes - the way they nerfed it for the actual game prevents it from actually being used by the guy who made the card lmao). The like 5 terrible "Heraldry" spells and traps from the anime we haven't gotten yet, including the one Vetrix made Trey play that made him go into a homocidal rage. Aaand maybe another dump target, but that makes the deck *better,* not "complete". An easy way to make Number C8 good is if they just gave it Number 8's anime effect, which includes a Quick Effect Negate + Effect steal, an "Unknown"ing effect, and an "I always win the battle phase" effect.
At the very least Heraldics have a decent 1.5 combo thanks to the new support. Plus the name erasure effect coming back is very cool way to mess with the opponents board
I know copying any of 69s any effects where it just negates any effect of a monster and can copy any effect would be kinda busted. At the same time considering any terrible archtype that get´s support these days has skill drain as a boss monster they could´ve at least done anything more with one of the new ones appart from just summoning itself onto the otherone as an effect. Admittadly the rest of the cards are really good although they gave a rank four spam deck a restriction in 2024, Predaplant is doing the first time meme right now.
pretty sure the new number 69s are attack and effect names of the card in the anime so they know what the english names are gonna be
Makes sense then
They actually are, "Shatter stream" is the name of an effect and "Dark Matter Demolition" is the name of its attack
Just what I needed. More numbers. I'll have to reconfigure my collection binder. Again.
Oh yeah lmaooo
God the 69 section of your binder is gonna be huge
@@thempireiain Not on the level of 39, of course. There's going to probably be more of those. There's always more of 39.
Very true

Agreed, it's very consistent and a neat design space
I can’t believe these psychics are muscling in on Fae territory and stealing names
Truuuuu it's cultural appropriation
"ygorg is so aggravating sometimes" SOMETIMES??
Lmaooo fair

Truly, it's weird seeing how restrained this is compared to like the new blue eyes stuff or what have you
Number 69.......
Nice
