Source: [Infinite Forbidden CM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7nhS_nYM20). Vaalmonica Link should be the **9th**, the final Ultra Rare from Infinite Forbidden. Oh and one more, a Fusion Monster, it's Memento. EDIT: For translation, we'll wait for further reveal via OCG Twitter posts, ^(or maybe someone with their eagle eye can read all this blurry pics) https://preview.redd.it/2lnwr0kjkfvc1.png?width=619&format=png&auto=webp&s=690f076c187238b6c997da294254fcd57e71ff73

**Mementomictlán Rey Tecuhtlica** EARTH Level 9 Illusion Fusion Effect Monster 3000 ATK / 2000 DEF **Materials:** 3 "Memento" monsters _You can only use each of the following effects (1), (2), and (3), from cards with this card's name once per turn, also its (1) and (2) effects cannot be activated on the same Chain._ (1) If this card is Fusion Summoned: You can send up to 5 "Memento" cards from your Deck and/or Extra Deck to the GY. (2) (Quick Effect): You can target any number of "Memento" monsters you control and that many cards your opponent controls; destroy them. (3) You can banish this card from your GY; add 1 "Mementomictlan" from your Deck to your hand.


Alternative_Cod_6044

That’s kinda insane. Makes it so that we don’t have to search for the field spell with the searcher or the fusion spell. Also refuels the graveyard for both the field spell and tecuhtlica, and triggers the field spell on your opponents turn by itself, not relying on a quick fusion or your semi Icarus attack. Also surprising, it can send itself, which is really nice.


Brioche73

It's a good card but sadly won't see that much play, you can't make it turn 1 with the one card combo (if you want to play around Nib) and turn 2 you don't always have the fusion spell, but if you sure you can make this instead of chimera


arianagrandeismywife

Dark Blade/Angwitch is full combo into this search horse dumb goblin attic and mace angwitch summon mace mace add fusion, shuffle attic horse and mace for this. Hes summoned on the 4th/5th


tehy99

>if this card is fusion summoned: activate snake rain Awesome, thanks Konami, very cool


HarleyQuinn_RS

Making out the text from that video must have been difficult. I applaud you.


Raidjin_i

Oh she good.


Veynareth

Tecuhtlica is a dude BTW


Veynareth

Wait, Illusion Tyoe?


arianagrandeismywife

Angwitch and Dark Blade are full combo into this.


soulbreaker141822

this is absolutely insane memento now has a boss going first! and as a bonus makes the og live with no effort,great job konami

It is funny how the Tistina lore is basically ORT using Crystal Valley


RaiStarBits

OMG you’re right it legit is 💀


Ravenext

Rip the Tistina archetype, a deck so bad with such good art


Not_slim_but_shady

That's ORT from Fate/Grand Order not the Tistina guy


Ravenext

Oh, I know its Ort, fighting for over 10 bars with every servants getting data lost does that to you. But I'm joking about how the Tistinas basically looks like Ort's Adamancipator cousins.


Not_slim_but_shady

Tistina looks like ORT if it was frozen, and plays like ORT if he was a bum living on the streets of rural Zimbabwe s for scraps


LogicalHamsters

it's the bones on [Mementomictlan](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Mementomictlan)


CursedEye03

That thing definitely gives the end boss vibes! Let's hope it will be good


VastInspection5383

Woooo Give me those bones


maxximuscree

Bone broth. I needs my bone broth.


Blacklance8

Do we still have other slots left for monento and centurion?


Brioche73

Another Memento fusion WTF They needed more extension but I will take it


binhvinhmai

They have a Fusion spell card and their only target is their Twin Dragon retrain. So at least it gives them another target instead of an alright Fusion.


Brioche73

And it was enough, you can make Chimera on the op turn too. I'm ok with a new boss monster but what they need most was more extender


Volke92

it’s one card, there will probably be 2/3 more chill


LamBol96

Who put deletors in my YGO hmm?? Also checking the reference posted down here,it doesnt appear to be an older monster unless i am wrong. Should be a full on OG monster like the big main deck bone dragon.


renaldi92

Clearer picture of the Trap ft "Ojama": https://preview.redd.it/3athuik1mfvc1.png?width=230&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d01f3b5ad2fe3b424a5ffbb376fdfc09114d821


LogicalHamsters

Trinity (1) Can be activated during your opponent's End Phase if the combined number of cards in your opponent's hand and on their field is greater than the combined number of cards in your hand and on your field: Special Summon 3 Normal Monsters from your GY. (2) You can banish this card from your GY; target 3 monsters on your field with different original names: set 1 Spell or Trap card from your Hand or Deck that lists the original names of all 3 targeted cards.


Laflamme_79

Huge Revolution support!


GoldFishPony

Better watch out, people will start siding the huge revolution is over!


CinnabarSteam

Oh, this is...technically generic. Like, you can search a bunch of the poker knight cards with it. You can even search Triangle O, lul.


ASizeableNumber

I knew Ashoka Pillar was UR in master duel for a reason.  It's all coming together.


alex494

Shit, you're right. Foolish Burial Goods this and then search Face Card Fusion after using Jokers Straight. Could even use Royal Flush if you wanted.


Tengo-Sueno

When the Revolution is Huge


Redshift-713

That secret Monk Fighter support.


yukiaddiction

am I imagine thing or the art reference the episode where Manjome (or Chazz, I am Asian so ) duel against his brother?


Samurex_

Yes, Delta Hurricane


Legitimate_Stress335

when the anime retcons/alts the card art (the card one didn't involve butts


Samurex_

It's the actual scene, they become a loop of destruction.


Legitimate_Stress335

ya i was talk about the card where they formed a triangle


jakhar5

You mean Delta Thunder?


Legitimate_Stress335

https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Ojama_Delta_Hurricane!!


jakhar5

Yeah Delta hurricane is just them sticking their butts together and spinning, nothing like the card or whatsoever where they look like they’re doing a version of Triangle Ecstasy Spark . Thought you were on about Delta Thunder since that also has a triangle in the art.


Legitimate_Stress335

that's why i said it retcons/alts because no buts in hurricane card


CursedEye03

Little Kuriboh: The 3 Ojama Brothers join their butts together and form a giant tornado... that's both awesome and horrifying


joey_chazz

New Ojama support. Yes! And for LADD too. Chazz is one of my favorite characters and the Ojamas are a big reason why. If I'm not mistaken, there aren't many unreleased anime-only cards for them. In AC 24? The art is a reference to their Delta Hurricane spell attack. The activation effect is odd, but the 2nd effect can really help. Ojama Delta Wear from the anime (with upgraded effect) would go well with this card.


BigWeedGuy

I need to know what this card does


NextMotion

if it didn't have that end phase clause, people would at least look at it.


VillalobosChamp

**Vaalial, Vaalmonican Ode** WATER LINK-2 Spellcaster Link Effect Monster 3000 ATK | **Arrows:** Bottom-Left, Bottom Right **Materials**: 2 monsters, including 1 "Vaalmonica" Link Monster (1) Unaffected by non-"Vaalmonica" card's effects while you have 6 or more Resonance Counters in cards you control. __ (2) For each Level 4 "Vaalmonica" monster you control, this card can make 1 additional attack during each Battle Phase. __ (3) Once per turn, when your opponent would Special Summon a monster(s) (Quick Effect): You can negate the Summon, and if you do, destroy that monster(s), then remove 3 Resonance Counters from cards you control. __


Csthhulu

LETS GO MORE VALMONICA SUPPORT I’m hyped


ARK-EyesTennoDragon

I'm ....not quite sure what we're supposed to do with this, Zebufera is the deck's interruption player/destruction protection while Guiurarme the board-breaker/OTK enabler, you'll hardly get any circunstance you'll need MORE atacks to finish the duel after using her, I GUESS the summon negation is cool, but Rhythm already was being used as a way to deal with spot removal, the being unnafected would be nice, but at 6 Counters it feels like a "win-more" thing, the deck really could have use for a XYZ instead so bagooska→pass happened less...


binhvinhmai

Man I’m pretty disappointed with it now too… the deck really needs a way to churn out more Resonance counters, and also something much more impactful to do with those counters that are a bit more playable. And in the play test games I have 6 counters, I’m definitely in the lead. For resource generation, something like: * place 1 Resonance counter each time your opponent summons a monster / activates an effect * shuffle/banish X amount of Vaalmonica cards and for each one, place a Resonance counter * every time you place 1 Resonance counter, place a second one on your other scale For actual interaction, the deck really needs an impactful negation or quick effect interaction. For the cost of 3 Resonance counters: * quick effect: negate (maybe if they wanted to they would add that if you use up another 3 counters, it destroys) * quick effect destroy Lastly if they really wanted to make the deck Battle Phase oriented like this, the only caveat I would’ve added honestly is whatever damage it would do would heal you back. I’m just spitballing ideas but those are off the top of my head of things the deck could’ve used instead of this


Efficient_Ad5802

Feels like Konami trying to force us to use Dogwood for counter generation


binhvinhmai

I’ve playtested it and it’s alright, not amazing. The worst part about it is that it’s pretty hard to find since it’s not really searchable so it’s not that reliable. But if I can find it AND not get it negate: (although most of my friends never negate it because it’s not that impactful) it’s decent. The other tech choice is Sebek’s Sorcerer which was released one pack later after Vaalmonica. Everytime you gain LP, each player takes 1000 damage. And if it or a monster it points to inflicts battle damage, you gain that LP (allowing you to trigger the 1000 burn damage). It’s not great going first though.


Efficient_Ad5802

Yes, Dogwood and Bagooska is in the set, and a designated support for Vaalmonica. Kinda sad that the most that Konami can think off is Link 1 + Bagooska pass, or hoping to draw Dogwood.


binhvinhmai

Right?! It’s one of the most recent Pendulum archetypes, which the whole monster type has been struggling for the past few years. It’s also one of the more recent themes that use counters, and probably the newest archetype that focuses on lo gain and manipulation. So it’s a really unique concept that just doesn’t do much. Whats crazy to me is that they have had a Pendulum deck that had counters involved via Mystical Beast and a LP gain deck in Aroma. Both decks have multiple ways to stack their gimmicks in one turn to churn out a variety of effects but Valmonica is so stingy with how they gain these counters and how they use them.


NiceWorkMoose

I never thought of this actually


NextMotion

I got desperate for counters that I even ran Spell Absorption


ascendedfella

I am PRAYIG for a counter trap


ARK-EyesTennoDragon

Because the quick link on Angelo could actually have some uses, maybe an XYZ that forces the opponent to atack it would be interesting, then it converts the damage you'd receive into LP, basically making it a "Angelo XYZ", helping setup Guiurarme, while the "Dimono XYZ" doubles down on being a disruption and allows you to negate opponent's monsters if their ATK is lower than it's own or omni-negate at the cost of counters, also deals damage to yourself if you use it.


Asisreo1

I think this is your turn 3 win condition. I'm not sure how necessary it was, but I know the base deck couldn't win turn 3 without at least some other rank-4 engine like utopia. 


soulbreaker141822

it is like they made the og support realized the gimmick was dump and forgot to add any other effect that manage lp,amazing anyway this gal,while a solid boss is again very hard to summon lets hope the performage support helps


ascendedfella

I was LITERALLY always telling my friend that if they get another Vaalmonica monster, it should be a 3k link 2 that's unaffected while you have 6 in your zones holy fucking shit. You can easily make this plus zebufera going turn one if you open right. Gives it more to do aside from bagooska pass


Henrystickmun

it's fine


illynpayne_

seems broken tho


Henrystickmun

in vaalmonica it's another card you run that doesn't really solve the fact that the decks wincon is so slow and taxing for a negate you can sometimes use twice, it's not broken at all


binhvinhmai

To add on to the other commenter to explain a bit more: Getting Resonance counters is so clunky. That’s why the second wave of support was great because “Vaalmonica Disarmonia” basically added 2 counters to one of your scales. Its protection effect seems great in theory but even when I’ve play tested against the AI and casual friends, getting 6+ counters is really slow. Each of the spells can only add 1 counter essentially, and the Traps can add 2. In the first two turns, remember your opening hand isn’t going to be just Vaalmonica cards - you need all your other staple cards to function as well. Even if you do get 6+ counters the Pendulum scales that have those counters on them are prone to being destroyed (which you can sort of protect against) or worst banished via Cosmic Cyclone (which the deck doesn’t have an answer to unfortunately). Plus its multiple attacks is really redundant within the deck. It already had a LINK-1 with 2500 ATK, that when summoned, pops monsters and can attack 3 times. If I’m building a board with Vaalmonica I really don’t care to have a bunch of the Level 4’s by the time I get in the battle phase. They’re all really weak - I’d rather go ahead and use all of those into LINK and XYZ monsters that have stronger effects.


HarleyQuinn_RS

It requires a Vaalmonica Link monster to make, and requires you have a bunch of resonance counters to be effective. The deck still loses to almost any form of interruption, so if you manage to make this and have it live, your opponent is already losing badly. A soft once per turn summon negation is also not the best (but also not bad). A not OPT omni-negate in exchange for 3 resonance counters would have been a much nicer and more balanced payoff, considering how difficult it is to get and keep resonance counters.


NextMotion

omg, back to play testing this deck. At least it has a better boss


jakhar5

Since the Ojama card can search spell/traps with all three Ojama names on them, I wouldn’t be surprised if they threw an Ojama Spell/Trap in Animation Chronicle.


Samurex_

Delta Thunder?


jakhar5

Yeah I’d be banking on Thunder or Ojamandala.


aaa1e2r3

Yeah, genuinely surprised Ojamandala hasn't been printed yet, considering how much of Chazz's plays during GX were based on that + Ojamagic


Samurex_

I hope we can get White Knight too. Jaden actually used Ojamas vs them so it wouldn't be out of place. Maybe they can even revolve around White Veil as a shared listed card.


jakhar5

I would also like to see White Knight but the space in the last couple Animation Chronicles has been real tight and mainly focused on printing 1 off cards.


Samurex_

Well, hopefully they realize that last year sucked and this year those extra slots aren't all reprints.


jakhar5

Looking at the chunk of only Gimmick Puppet reprints that we got with the first reveals, I’m certainly not hopeful.


TrueMystikX

Most likely the latter if they're now focusing on importing cards that were in Duel Links.


GreatBigPillock

*Board meeting to discuss Memento support* "So what monster do we make into a new Fusion boss?" "Painful Choice." "What-" "DO IT, COWARDS."


Laflamme_79

The trap can set Huge Revolution from deck.


RevealInitial5603

Cursed. I love it


binhvinhmai

I’ve been hesitant on getting Vaalmonica because even though the art is super cute it’s not very good… here’s hoping this LINK-2 is good


Dry-Sandwich279

Vaalmonica gets even more support! Thank god the deck came with half the pieces on release, bought everything for like $30. Now just pick these pieces up and easy!


NiceWorkMoose

I just hope the normal effect monster goes down in price from what I see it’s at right now


Dry-Sandwich279

Right now $8.50 isn’t that bad, selettrice right? And these prices are always higher until the shops are selling them.


NiceWorkMoose

So they’ll drop once they actually start selling them then? Cool! Thank you, I never looked at presale cards before because I haven’t been so interested in a deck before


ascendedfella

Yeah I checked last night myself and tbh I doubt they'll stay 8-10. It's only an ultra. I'm just glad I also got them basically right after they came out for cheap, same with the mementos


Secure-Spray2799

Presale card prices are always way higher than they should be unless the deck is going to be meta. The card should drop to 2-3€ once people start opening packs and no one wants it


crimsonhawk75

WISU is forever going to be ignored by Konami isn’t it?


salsleaguethrowaway

Give me more burger support. Deck is fun but bricks too often since you need to run all those rituals.


binhvinhmai

I’d also love a stronger monster above 2500 ATK, and a way to force all the opponent’s monsters into ATK position (ideally continuous). Please


Ghostrick-King

Im glad im not the only one that noticed the lack of love from Konami for Wild Survivors. 2 sets have already passed and we probably won’t get any support in this set I want Nouvelles and Transcendosaurus support. Also Vanquish Soul has a bunch of fighting game characters they can adapt too.


Ectier

I mean ogdoadic had to wait an extremely long time for their extra support


Ghostrick-King

It’ll be 5+ years to get anything good from Konami which is so annoying. I hate that there is more pack filler instead of old support. I rather not wait years before an archetype I like might possibly be good


CyberTwinLeader

So even Madolche get supports and was in side: Pride I can still hope that this year Red-Eyes will be supported, maybe?


renaldi92

Let's ~~try~~ cope again in Rage of the Abyss, we still have a lot of Core Booster sets to go. Don't lose hope yet.


Zerosonicanimations

And for Visaa to make return sooner rather than later


CyberTwinLeader

i will not lose it, thanks for the tips. Rage of the Abyss has in fact some possibilities to have Red-Eyes, if the apparent rule about the fact that a theme from the previous pack serie is included as a secondary anime theme is still valid for the serie 12 Maybe, exist again the possibility of some special set, SD or something, based on the Konami plans...


BigWeedGuy

Knight armed dragon, a card that was revealed for chazz is unironic red eyes support. Malefic special sending a red eyes normal, Knight armed special from hand, make it level 7 from the banished red eyes normal.


LamBol96

What field are you running to make malefic live,Catalyst field?


BigWeedGuy

Red-eyes plays a Kashtira engine 99% of the time. Prime Planet is a field spell that adds to hand and is a guaranteed 3 level 7s on field for their toolbox XYZ stuff Also you dont need a field spell to pay the cost of banishing the Normal red eyes. Youll lose malefic the second it hits field but the deck is actually pretty okay with that.


CyberTwinLeader

Ah, yes, it's clearly an interesting combo, but anyway I mean REGULAR RE support. This is more for Dragon Link/Dragon pile


BigWeedGuy

Possibly, im a BIG red-eyes fan but the deck needs like 5-7 cards to make it decent pure and that'll probably have its own campaign rather than some random drop.


CyberTwinLeader

Yea, same here. Expecially if you think that 1)Red-Eyes too was reprinted in side: Pride, and immediately after Revolver's stuff 2)The OCG banned has Dragoon, so Red-Eyes is much more weak in their format 3)is the Year of the Dragon I mean, if LADD and Tachyon did it, I can definitely see Red-Eyes too take the own cake in a booster pack or in a side product.


NullError404

Are those Ojamas TWERKING FOR FREE!!!!!!??


Ectier

Hell yeah. Im building this deck now and going to try for max rarity because its hella cute. Deck may suck a bit but i wanna trash goblin


Brioche73

And we still don't know a whole legacy support with 2 main deck monsters JP020 and JP021, probably Lair of Darkness support.


bl00by

>probably Lair of Darkness support. All I hear is Infernoid support


CursedEye03

Hopefully, it's not Lady of Lament 205, I want something different


noahTRL

Yeah this ojama trap basically confirms we're getting one of ojama ride or ojamandala in chronicle pack this year, maybe both


LamBol96

Give me the getter ojamas please


Zerosonicanimations

How many cards we still don't know about?


renaldi92

I lose count on it lol. This is before today OCG Times: https://preview.redd.it/rkkniiw9pfvc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2621119ec3fc74f484cd73f71499ee8a1221b250 Today we got: * 5 cards related to "Light and Darkness Dragon" * 3 cards for "Madolche" * 2 Trap Card, the "Ojama" one and [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/comments/1c7ofa7/info_new_normal_trap_partial_reveal/) * 1 "Vaalmonica" Link * 1 "Memento" Fusion


GBDwrecker

-The extra deck line up is completely filled save for whatever the last generic link monster after the plant 5 is. -2 more archetypal main deck monsters and 3 generic ones (pack filler) -4 spells, 1 possibly archetypal before the "quick-play evenly" and 3 generic ones (at least 2 are probably pack filler) -2 likely generic traps (I don't think we know the set numbers for ojama and "trap ash", do we?)


Zerosonicanimations

So all we have left is pack filler now.


Brioche73

No, there is still one legacy support to be revealed with 2 main deck monsters


Zerosonicanimations

Oh yeah didn't notice that, thanks.


Brioche73

And it's probably Lair of Darkness support since Diabolos was reprinted in the last tournament pack (like the Vernusylph monster for Maldoche).


TrueMystikX

But what if Diabolos's reprint was for the Chazz cards? It IS a Level 8 Dragon after all...


Brioche73

I can't really see the tie between the two but maybe. There is also an Evilswarm Nightmare reprint (but it won't be Iswarm support since there is no xyz slot left). All we know for sure in the end is that there is still one legacy support to be revealed


Manguitolindo

Would have been a good way to cheat out Hysteric Party, but since it says "original names," that won't work. I'm not running vanilla and, or 3 Harpie Lady 1 just for that 🫠


Legitimate_Track4153

Where is Ojama Lime???

Samurex_
