I’ve been getting an unusually high amount of traffic from the search terms “pendulum summon” so I figured there was a reason for it. I did a quick Google search and it turns out I was right. It looks like more information about pendulum summoning has been released over on the Wiki.
It sounds horrible for several reasons, and the cards pictured look terrible (formatting-wise) in my opinion. I’ve accepted that change is coming but I’m definitely not looking forward to this. Not only is this adding a new summoning mechanic, it’s adding a new “zone” to the field called the “Pendulum Zone”. Konami is trying to show us that no element from the game is safe and anything can change whenever they want.
Since I’m still learning about this myself, be sure you look into it further. Here are a few more links to places where people are discussing the new summons:
