SITE WORK: Deck List and Ruling Blogs

6/10/2021

Here at EdisonFormat.com, we're always striving to improve to better serve the community. To facilitate navigation of Deck Lists, a Blog Page has been constructed to host all Deck Lists on the site so that you can easily navigate between Deck Categories (displayed on on the right of the page).

The most popular cards with functional errata in Edison Format have also been catalogued to assist players picking up the format for the first time.

Functional Errata

Individual card rulings have been compiled from the archived UDE Gameplay FAQ database [REF] as well as the Konami Sneak Peak Card Rules documents [CRMS, RGBT, ANPR, SOVR, ABPF]. Notable cards have additional information provided and their rulings have been cross-referenced against forum posts on Pojo and Duelistgroundz.

RULES UPDATE: 0 ATK MONSTERS

6/9/2021

Special thanks to Discord user Manic L0rd for catching the issue of monsters with 0 ATK battling. For most of the early years of Yugioh, when two monsters with 0 ATK battled each other, both would be destroyed by the battle. However, this interaction was overturned in 2011 such that neither monster would be destroyed. Research points to the change finally being implemented in Rulebook Version 7.2 released with Structure Deck Dragunity Legion [REF].

Thus, in Edison Format, when monsters with 0 ATK battle each other, they will both be destroyed as a result of battle. Keep this in mind when using "Battle Fader" or "Dandylion" in your Deck!

Gone Fishin'

6/7/2021

Written by: James Arc AKA Luck Extreme
James is a renowned Edison player reaching Deity Rank in FL's Ladder, he's won multiple Edison tournaments and is the co-host of the Ed, Edd, & Edison YouTube channel.

Think of the Fish deck as Frog Monarch’s faster, more explosive cousin. Both decks play the Frog engine and control spells to abuse them, but that’s where the similarities end. Typically, the goal of the Fish deck is simple: double tribute for Coelecanth, use its effect to summon out a bunch of Fish tuners and non-tuners, and make big synchros to win the game.

Two of the most common end boards leave the Fish player with a Colossal +1 or 2 Armory Arm, or Goyo Guardian, Black Rose Dragon, and Coelecanth (2800+2400+2800=8000 Damage). While Armory Arm was later errata’d, in Edison it inflicts damage based on attack while on field, not in the graveyard. That means Armory Arm+Colossal allows you to equip Armory to an opponents monster to put it to over 2800 ATK, ram your Colossal Fighter, and revive the same Colossal from the grave, inflicting 2800 damage in the process.

The rest of the deck tries to support this plan, whether speeding through the deck and fixing hands, stalling and setting up tribute fodder, or clearing backrow so your Coelecanth play is successful.

The Misfortune of Fortune Ladies in Edison

5/17/2021

Written By: Jeix
Hello and welcome to my article about Fortune Ladies. I go by the username Jeix on Discord and Dueling Book and as you can see this Fortune Lady list is very unusual, so allow me to help you better understand it.

"Fortune Ladies are a Terrible Deck"

What a great way to start an article about the deck, isn’t it? Well, I wouldn’t know another one.
Fortune Ladies are terrible not only because they don’t win but because all the cards are almost good enough but fall short in some way or another, and for extremely dumb reasons, adding to the frustration of leaving you gues what this deck could have been had it received some sensible support cards.
The first flaw of the deck is your engine, Fortune Lady Light. She misses timing all the time.
If her effect were mandatory you’d be able to make incredibly powerful plays with a lot of different cards available in Edison format. Sadly, it isn’t, so you have to rely on subpar cards to make her work.

RULES UPDATES: Unions and their Conditions

5/15/2021

Thanks to Discord user STLF for stumbling upon this detail! It turns out that Union Monsters were all printed with a Condition restricting the number of Union Monsters that could be equipped to a Monster. This Condition would cease to be printed, and would be retroactively removed from Union Monsters through erratas as of 2016 and the release of Structure Deck: Seto Kaiba [REF]. When playing Edison Format, remember that ALL Union Monsters have the following Condition:

"(A monster can only be equipped with 1 Union Monster at a time. If the equipped monster would be destroyed, destroy this card instead.)"

The "Edison Format Rules" page has been updated to reflect this discovery! For a list of EdisonFormat-legal Union Monsters, click HERE.
