I'm just gonna come out and say it.
The new TCG archetype looks like shit. I'm not talking about the playstyle or the quality of the cards, I'm talking about the art.
That boss monster when I first saw it I thought it was a joke. Seriously, I thought I was being pranked. It's the most generic looking robot I've ever seen. Completely devoid of any flavor or soul.
I'm the biggest TCG-exclusive lover there is and I've backpeddled many many times and liked archetypes I previously hated but I can't see me liking this new archetype.
And do you wanna know the most tragic part of that? That archetype is my idea. Almost anyway.
I've been saying FOR YEARS NOW that we should get a Meklord retrain that turns the Meklord boss monster itself into a link monster that sits in the extra monster zone and all the pieces for it go in the main monster zone and they augment the Link monster depending on how many pieces and what pieces you use.

This archetype is unironically close as fuck to that concept but it just looks like shit.
>Draw a regular ass circular saw that you can find in your local DIY store
>That's the card
I was expecting something cooler. You can draw the pieces and not have them look so fucking bland. It's like they didn't even try.
How the fuck did we go from the Meklord Emporers to some fucking disney looking throwaway robot.
Holy shit I am mad.

I bet I end up liking the concept and playstyle of the deck so much that have to pick it up even though I H A T E the card art. That's the worst part about all of this.
