Lefthand column (yugioh)

[Pastebin date: August 17, 2015]
[updated: December 10, 2015 to include female strats image]

People have asked about this so much that I think it's time I created a detailed answer that can be linked whenever the question inevitably pops up again. Especially because I just changed the layout again.

(Read if you don't know what it is at all ↓ )
The purpose that this serves is to display what is in my deck at all times - at least the important stuff. This only tends to help viewers that already know the game a decent bit, so don't expect to "get" much out of it if you're new. The problem used to be that people would constantly come in and out of Yugioh streams, and the question "any good drops in the last hour?" or "how's the deck looking now?" or whatever would come up in the chat all the time. This overlay allows people to see how the run is going at all times, without having to constantly ask. Imagine coming into a run 3 hours in and seeing the runner on the high mages. Maybe they have 4 equip cards for Twin-Headed. Maybe just 1. It would make a huge difference having this piece of knowledge. Basically it's there to inform viewers at their convenience what sort of deck the runner's workin' with, and in turn, what sort of chances the run has.


Changes.

where, referencing the stream, A7 is the Meteor B. Dragon card, and B5 is Widespread Ruin.
