Original Artworks vs Duel Power Alternatives.
I absolutely love alternative artworks and the ones introduced in Duel Power are amongst some of my favourites. So I want to know what everyone else thinks! From each of the anime protagonist’s ace monsters, which artwork do you prefer, the original or the DUPO alternative.
For me it goes:
Dark Magician - I think the DUPO artwork is cool here, but DMG is such a nostalgic card and I can’t look at his original art without getting taken back to my childhood, so the original wins here.
Elemental HERO Neos - I love the background scheme in his DUPO artwork and the greater definition of Neos specifically, so DUPO wins here.
Stardust Dragon - As much as I think the DUPO artwork is quite cool, I absolutely love Stardust’s original and as one of my favourite cards of all time, the original wins here.
Number 39: Utopia - This may be controversial, but I was never a massive fan of Utopia’s original art. However, I love his DUPO art, the background is amazing, Utopia’s pose is awesome, everything about this card is fantastic to me, DUPO wins here.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon - The only thing I have to say on this matter is that the DUPO artwork is INSANELY cool, it’s probably one of my favourite artworks of all time, DUPO wins.
Decode Talker - I actually really like both artworks and this was probably the hardest choice for me personally. I’ve went back and forth over time, but for now I’m sticking with the original.
