Blogger Reborn!

So I finally came back to a bit of Yugioh after some intense YGOPro during the week. Boy, has it been a back to the future experience.

Anyway, which one of you people are still interested in this blog? If so, maybe we'll do a proper revival of it. Post replays and shizz like that. Otherwise, back from the dead, baby!

- Ghakim

New way of duelling coming in September?

I know this blog has been dead and shit..... everyone has being too busy with N-S and School that no ones update this blog anymore.

Anyway, apparently Yu-Gi-Oh is taking a turn for a better/maybe worse in September.

Changes gonna be made in the way a deck is build to make it more "enjoyable"

Using deck contruction as a rule of thumb - possible changes

a) Number of cards in a Deck/Extra Deck
Good news more options to derp around with.
Bad news; The combos and loop it may create

b) Banning/Restricting Combo - For example if Card A is present in a deck then Card B cannot be in the deck as well. Or a restricted number of this Card A if Card B is in the deck or vice versa. This can also apply for Extra Decks too. Currently this type of banlist is in use for Duelmasters

Good News; Address the stupid derp combos some cards pulls out!!!! Which will naturally reduce the number of cards being hit in the banlist since most of them are Banned/Restricted due to combos.

Bad News; I cannot think of any


Anyway, that is all for my thought

Apparently still unsure whether what will be the changes. Dun think you guys will hear from me for a while or maybe for months.

Cheers

Ghakimx's Not-so-Tournament topping Gravekeeper's Deck March 2013

Hello minions,

Since the release of the latest ban list, I have decided to update my Gravekeeper's deck since there was a popular demand for a new Gravekeeper's deck. This is an update from my old list in July 2012. I had to make very difficult decisions affecting my overall deck consistency, so please take your time to see the changes made between the two deck lists.

Monsters (15) :
1x Fossil Dyna Pachypelano
1x Gravekeeper's Assailant
3x Gravekeeper's Commandant
3x Gravekeeper's Descendant
3x Gravekeeper's Recruiter
3x Gravekeeper's Spy
1x Sin Stardust Dragon

Spells (13) :
1x Book of Moon
1x Dark Hole
1x Forbidden Chalice
2x Gravekeeper's Stele
3x Necrovalley
3x Pot of Duality
2x Royal Tribute


Traps (12) :
1x Bottomless Trap Hole
2x Compulsory Evacuation Device
1x Dark Bribe
1x Dimensional Prison
2x Mirror Force
1x Solemn Judgment
1x Solemn Warning
1x Starlight Road
2x Torrential Tribute

Extra deck:
3x Stardust Dragon
1x Utopia
1x Chaos Utopia
3x Sanwitch
3x Five Headed Dragon
3x Yasushi the Skull Knight
3x Dragon Master Knight
3x Armityle the Chaos Phantom

Side deck:

2x The Creator God of Light, Horakhty
2x Obelisk the Tormentor
2x Winged Dragon of Ra
2x Slifer the Sky Dragon
3x Destiny Board
3x Super Polymerization
3x Exodia the Forbidden Lord


Yes, the extra deck was very difficult to select. I had very little options but tried my best. As for the side deck, it guarantees a win if your opponent is trying to stall it out, so assembling the three gods into Horakhty is a guaranteed win.

Hope you enjoyed this post and found it very very useful for all your future duels.
Because Horakhty is gay.

Asia 2013. SG cardmart

Apparently, Feng shui is not on my side lately, I just scrubbed the first 2 rounds and went off to a BBQ.

Here goes

Format: Swiss
Number of Participant: More than the number cards in my main, side and extra deck
Deck used: Phantom Beast Planes.

Apparently, I still have not got used to this deck, have to use Duelmaster Cards to subsitute as tokens and levels to keep reminding myself
But still.........

Round 1 vs Avengingknight (XX-) (Shi-en's army)

Game 1: Here was I thinking; here comes the forces of Grapha coming to bring me to hell. But instead of "Gates of the Dark World", I see a first turn "Gateway of the six" with Shi-en uniting all its Samurais! I was like...... holy shit!!. Best part, Shi-en seek the help of BFF Shock Master......

Facing the forces of such power, I decide to raise the white flag without revealing my deck.
Game 2: Nothing to say, what to do when its Gateway. Gateway got to do what its got to do

Round 2 vs Yee Shean (OXX) (Heros)

Game 1: Big Eye control Ninja

Game 2: Ray'stailth vs Alius. Honest is not helping there. Super Poly my monsters and proceed to bully my 100 Atk Ray'stailth


Game 3: Nothing to say here, phone vibrating as a "You are late for my BBQ!!" alert, Big Eye for kicks and got bottomless. Die due to time.

After that, due to timing issue, I decide to drop out.

On a side note, it is still kind of fun especially when Sebastian mistook my Duelmaster album for a YuGiOh Album (When I was packing up my "Tokens" into the album) and he got trolled. He attempts to piece my "Tokens" together. (I promised him that I will show him my favourite DM Psychic Set)

Which are these three. (And they are my tokens, in case some never see)

OK, fine. I am helping a few buddies to promote Duelmaster.




 Hoepfully, there will be more updates for this blog. (If I got the time)

Cheers

What's new? A more all rounder group?

Ok, this blog is very dead.

Obviously it is very difficult to keep up with the habit of updating blogs when you got so many things to do.

Basically, there are the few recent changes in the group.

- It is more all-rounder; we have members who never really go into Yu-Gi-Oh. They are more to Duelmasterr/Other cardgames. I recently got myself back into the game. Still tryng to grasp the ropes from where I left off from 2009.

Anyway, what is new with Yu-Gi-Oh? Obviously the banlist; Seriously, it is kind of upsetting.


(Effect from 1 March 2013)
BANNED
Sangan - Tour guide's BF is gone
Zenmaity - Konami is taking the key of this guy.


RESTRICTED
Wind-Up Magician - This really proves that Konami wants Wind-Up out of the picture.
One Day of Peace - LOLOL. Alternate wins takes a hit
Solemn Warning - Why are you there?


SEMI-RESTRICTED
Tsukuyomi - If you wana support SpellBooks; Just say!!!
Thunder King Rai-Oh - Konami is High
Advanced Ritual Art - Perfection/Demise anyone?


UNLIMITED
Kalut - Fans of BF, let's see what happens
Spore - Whether you are semi-restricted or Unlimited makes no difference
Lumina - Konami hits wrning and let you go down
Shien's Smoke Signal - Fans of Six Sam, let's see what happens
Mind Crush - You kill rai-oh and bring this down????


Ok, on the so-called Bright Side, Konami finally understands how poor we are and they introduced the most cheapest Archetype EVER!!! Burning Knuckle!! (Cheapest So far.... >.<)


In Other News. (unrelated to Yu-Gi-Oh)
Banlist For Duelmasters is also out. So far in history; there is this rule.
If a card in Duelmasters is hit, no way it is gonna be set free.

The Hall of Fame.

Following cards are added to list being restricted to one. Effective from 15 March 2013

Seventh Tower - Free mana when you have 7? Sounds fair to me. Abusing 4 at one shot when you already have 7? Seems Legit

The Door of Miracle and Mystery - No short-cuts for Onimaru "Head", Victory Rush (If you are rich enough to have 4 in a deck), There are other reasons though. The tips section for this card have many possibilities. A hit that is legit.

Hoepfully, there will be more updates for this blog. (If I got the time)

Magical (Prophecy) Decklist

This blog has been dead for the past month and I believe it's time to post something... I've been playing Magicals and Mermails for the past 2 months and both decks seem to be fairing pretty well. Mermails are kinda the meta now so I decided to talk about Magicals instead.

The deck has its easily summonable/searchable boss monster, High Priestess of Prophecy, which is pretty much a Master Hyperion. Although her attack is not as high, the means to bring out High Priestess is what makes her so feared. Apart from this, the deck also has draw power in terms of Wonder Wand and the Field Spell, and a little bit of control with Effect Veilers and Fiendish Chains.

Here's the list if you don't recognize some of the cards:-

Monsters -16
----------------
3x Effect Veiler
3x High Priestess of Prophecy
3x Spellbook Magician of Prophecy (Searches for Spellbooks)
3x Temperance of Prophecy (Helps summon High Priestess from deck)
2x Justice of Prophecy (Helps search High Priestess and Spellbooks from deck)
1x Stoic of Prophecy (Search for the above 2 monsters)
1x Night's End Sorcerer


Spells - 16
-------------
3x Wonder Wand
3x Spellbook of Secrets
2x The Grand Spellbook Tower
2x Spellbook of Life
2x Spellbook of Wisdom
1x Spellbook of Eternity
1x Spellbook of Power
1x Spellbook of Fate
1x Monster Reborn

Traps - 8
-----------
2x Fiendish Chain
2x Torrential Tribute
2x Bottomless Trap Hole
2x Compulsory Evacuation Device

You'll notice most of the spells in this deck are Spellbooks, and they alone can get this deck going.

Spellbook of Secrets - The searcher, can search out any Spellbook card, including Spellbook Magician of Prophecy.
The Grand Spellbook Tower - The Field Spell which gives us additional draw power and recycles the Spellbooks.
Spellbook of Life - The monster reborn.
Spellbook of Wisdom - The forbidden lance, kinda.
Spellbook of Eternity - Works wonders with High Priestless.
Spellbook of Power - Attack boost with search.
Spellbook of Fate - Situational card which saved me a lot of times.

This deck has A LOT of searching and deck thinning going on. (Beware of Rai-Oh) Here's some of the little combos you can pull off.

- Summon Spellbook Magician, effect search 1. Equip Wonder Wand and tribute both to draw 2.

- High Priestess banish 1 Spellbook to destroy 1 card. Activate Spellbook of Eternity, return the banished Spellbook to your hand. Eternity makes another High Priestess ammo, or you can return it to the deck with the Field Spell, search it out with Secrets, and do it again.

- Summon Temperance or Justice, activate Spellbook of Life to banish Spellbook Magician and SS Night's End from graveyard, it will be level 4. Banish 2 cards from opponent's graveyard and proceed to synchro Arcanite Magician. It's just amazing with what you can do with Spellbook of Life and Night's End.

Apart from these, your main objective is to bring out High Priestess as fast as possible and control your opponent with her. Spellbooks of Life can bring her back from the dead, Spellbook of Power makes her an incredible 3500 ATK monster and Spellbook of Wisdom protects her from the nasty spells/traps your opponent might use.

There are actually more stuff this deck can pull off, but I am just listing down the usual plays. Try out this deck and feel its power. :)

Double tournament report 4/11/2012

OK, It has being rather stale lately as I am just lazy to put details...... here goes
Went with Jason and Khai (Only Jason participates however)

Free Top shop tournament at Thousand Taste 4/11/2012

Format: Single Eli
Number of Participant: 20 +
Deck used: Chaos Rabbit Geargia
Judge: Bixuan

Round 1 vs Sebastian OO- (Heros?)

Game 1: Geargiant X searches for a Balck Salvo, ended with a Karakuri Shogun mdl 00 "Burei" that called out a Karakuri Ninja mdl 339 "Sazank", etc.... Forgot how I win.

Game 2: Tour Guide to Sangan that serach out rabbit....., while he drew a terrible hand. Meanwhile I kept derping him with top decking of limited cards like monster reborn etc.

Round 2 vs Shi Jie OXX (Skill Drain Rabbit Laggia)

Game 1: So many Chalice WTF, Karakuri Ninja mdl 339 "Sazank" attempts to Troll Laggia but it got trolled back by Chalice. However, a series of back and forth. Laggia + Garments = Sucide with my BLS...... However, managed to chip in bit by bit till he is handless and hit for game
.
Game 2: Stop giving my Tour Guide the chalice!!! Died to a Beast King Barbaros with help from skill drain.

Game 3: Make a terrible misplay. Already have the advantage with a Skilled Drained Tour guide that kept poking him while his 5 BACKROW never answers him. His LP was at 3k. I drew a monster reborn. I got greedy, ignoring all the backrow and I just reborn his Barbaros to kill.
He got a mirror force waiting >.< .
Even after lucksacking a heavy storm with help of allure of darkness, my fate is sealed.

So I got kicked out,,,,,,,

End of report??/
Nope not yet

Well, it is supposed to be over, we just go back to Yewtee Econ to give a slack, AND it turns out there was ANOTHER YU-GI-Oh TOURNAMENT!!
Sadly, it is not free but since it is just a cheap $2 tournament, I was thinking "Why Not?"
Well, there was a VG tournament going on just about then so it is going to start out quite late, meanwhile we just slacked around.

Turns out one of our WDF members; Victoriette Lim was at Econ.
So we just chit-chat for a while to pass time.

Finally, the tournament starts (FINALLY)

Full Yen Econ Mini Tournament Report 4/11/2012

Format: Double Eli
Number of Participant: less than 12??
Deck used: Chaos Rabbit Geargia

Round 1 vs Jason XX- (Inzektors) (Team Member)

Game 1: I know I already lost, but he kept assuming I had Swift Scarecrow, (due to daily training) so I just derp him by letting him reduce my LP to zero.
Game 2: Nothing to say, bugs do all the plus and bomb

Round 2 vs Sebastian OXX (Hero + Revenge match)

Game 1: He had exactly 2600 LP left, He got Alius plus a set card on the field
I got a Karakuri Shogun mdl 00 "Burei" and 2 X-Head Cannon on the field. It turns out that his set card is a Gemini Spark. It is a win for me.
.
Game 2: Forgot how I lost, I just lost

Game 3; When Honest is gay, it is gay

Game 1:
Annoying Icarus is annoying.........
Blew up two of my compluse.
Where is my starlight road when I needed it.
Played it slow as I am unsure of his backrow


(Apparently, he did not have a side deck so I decided to be fair and not side too.)

Game 2;
Can someone please tell me what to do with a Mind Controlled Vayu? Absolutely nothing.......
A Gaia Dragoon did massive hit on his vayu.



(At around here, we were forced to shift somewhere else, due to cleaning and washing shit)

Round 2 vs Edwin Soh (Book of Spell) XX-
Game 1: Forgot what happened

(Sided 2 Mind Crush)
Game 2: Killed my own roach with my torrential, but still died


Round 3 vs ??? (Chaos Dragon) XOO

Game 1: One does not simply have a perfect hand and kill me


(Sided 2 Debunk and 1 Morphing Jar 2)

Game 2: Played it slow as I prevent him from milling by complusing his Lyal (I think)
Cannot remember much.


Game 3; Ultimate Offering + Limiter Removal with a Solemn Warning as a back-up....


Top 4

Round 4 vs Ghakim (Gravekeepers)
Game 1;
Poke me with his recruiter
Judgement his Necrovalley........ Damn boss and stupid as well.
Mirror Force kills my Fortress plus Gearframe


(Sided 2 Debunk and Morphing Jar 2)

Asia Plus....

Promos in Asia allowed.....

(Except DT3 onwards) 

Nothing to say.

We going in the direction of the Land of the Rising Sun

The outcome of the game? You be the judge of that!

Well lately I hanged out with the gang and shet and I hear a lot of bitchin' about rule-sharking, misplay, cheating and effect misconceptions. If I may simply put, it is the player's fault for not doing anything or noticing these faults beforehand because when the games over, shedding tears of defeat are meaningless.

OK, so I decided to come up with a one-shot solution to solve all of these problems. Pay attention because YOU decide how the game ends.

1. If you are stumped by a new or unfamiliar card (especially if its in non-English), ask the opponent or the judge for its effect(s). Your opponent is obliged to tell you the effect of it and the judge will be there to help you out for the confirmation of the effect and rulings. Don't be rule-sharked, EVER. If you have any doubts, ask a higher authority or even just check out the Yugioh Wikia.

2. Whenever your opponent takes move such as moving into different phases or card activations, always ask him to wait. He is obliged ask for your response (assuming you have cards to use). If he continues to defy you, you may inform the judge that he is performing fast-play. NEVER let your opponent catch you off-guard for a moment or you'll be hit in a stage where you absolutely can't do anything and its game-over.

3. Pay attention to the cards at all times. Don't ever be thrown off by some miniscule event that will give your opponent a moment to cheat. If you're lucky and you catch your opponent doing so, call the judge and accept your free win.

4. If you opponent mistook a card effect, goes through with it and would actually have a different outcome altogether, use it to your advantage. I had one time I was playing our personal tourneys and Jay activated Monster Reborn even when I had Necrovalley on the field. Our trusty Chieflion noticed right away and forced Jay to continue with the game, ruling that his Monster Reborn will have no effect. Though in other cases, if you proceed on in the game quite late and fail to notice a misinterpretation of a card, that outcome of the game can be unpredictable. Avoid that.

5. Last but not least, if the judge isn't too busy or if there are plenty of judges like in Official Konami Tournaments, ask one judge to watch over your duel at all times. If your opponent isn't a very sporting person, he will be cornered into a deadlock by the eyes of the judge, being unable to cheat or take advantage of you in any sort of way. Don't feel that you're wasting the judge's effort because its his job to dictate the rulings and watch over the tournament. Asides, they like watching a good game just about as much as anyone else right.

Be sure to note that any of these actions will help you kill time should you be in a deadlock of life points. There's more than 1 way to win.

To summarize what was said, it an be abbreviated into:

- Ask (the opponent and/or judge)
- Slow down (the opponents moves)
- Pay attention (to the cards at all times)
- Opponent's Mistake (of a certain card)
- Watch Over (with the help of the judge or spectators)

ASPOW.

Sounds pretty bad ass. I hope this advice helps you guys out if you have ever been caught in such a horrible situation. If I had to compare this with a situation of international levels, I would probably think about the FIFA World Cup match where England kicked the ball that hit the top of the football goal and cross the white line but the referees did not see it as a score. Its just a horrible feeling and thought.

To end it off, always remember to-

ASPOW THE OPPONENT! YA-HA!

THE GOLD BOX

OK, this picture is for illustration, but I did take this photo.

Basically, 

wait; you guess how many boxes of these asses we bought over the last 2 days.

Guess why I write the the title in BOLD

The number of boxes we buy

Nope, not 1

not 5

It is: 

Total cash spent; $275. 

I using sample size of 11 boxes to give these conclusion. 

For all those who wanted to start playing Yu-Gi-Oh, this box is really worth it. Got everything under the sun. 

It is a bonus as well if you got a POD.

BLS is not bad.

Gold Babo is GOOD!

Monster reborn is Shiny

For those veterans who are in Yu-Gi-Oh meta for so long. Advice is

- buy for the kick of it. There may be disappointment.

- Getting good cards there is average. 

- POD very hard

- Bls = Lady luck already very kind

For those who managed to get a POD from there. Sell one POD to cover the cost of one box.

I am serious, I am not joking here.

Or you can just buy the DREV one if you want to.....................................

OK, 11 boxes as a sample size may seem low. Yeah, so this source may not be reliable, it just serves as a guide.

For those who bought 3 boxes and get 3 PODS (if there is any)

- Lady Luck loves you.

I not gonna say how many POD we got. It is less than the number of boxes we have and it is not looking good.

End of report.

A Gamble. Cosmo Blazer

Hilo. Not much to post. There are exams and revision going on.

Ok, let's talk about the pack that is coming up after Abyss Rising

: Cosmo Blazar (a very Fiery name)

The name itself MAY indicates that this pack will be full of fire monsters. (Which I hope)
New archetypes like how Konami makes it for Abyss rising aka MermailsOk, I am going to start a Gamble here;
Presenting


So far the archetype that runs this %$^%$ the best is Laval with an insane milling capability. And Rekindling gives massive swarm and beats up with massive sychro spam.

Imagine this; What if the new fire archetype monsters have also 200 defence. And they also have similar concepts of dumping fire monsters to the grave?

They will be copy-cat version of Laval. Lolz
This is just a guess anyway. I mean if Konami did this I will be like:

In any case, I will be stocking up 3 copies of Rekindling; for precaution.
And if Konami really decides to be a dick and do what I predict; I will be like



If not, 3 rekindling look cool in my album.
Then again. Konami is really unpredictable ,god knows what it is doing. :P

That's my fruit of thought.

Ghakim's Tournament Topping Gravekeeper's deck list

Oh hey, sup guys. Since I haven't posted in awhile, I thought I'd post the deck list for the one deck that's been ever strong and in circulation for a long time: Gravekeeper's. I was concerned about releasing this at first but now I'm like 'bitch please' cuz I've hardly seen another guy play Gravekeeper's and everyone prefers a faster deck but hey, the lack of appearance is how you win the battle.

Monsters (15) :
1x Fossil Dyna Pachypelano
1x Gravekeeper's Assailant
3x Gravekeeper's Commandant
3x Gravekeeper's Descendant
3x Gravekeeper's Recruiter
3x Gravekeeper's Spy
1x Sin Stardust Dragon

Spells (13) :
1x Book of Moon
1x Dark Hole
2x Gravekeeper's Stele
3x Necrovalley
1x Night Shot
3x Pot of Duality
2x Royal Tribute


Traps (12) :
1x Bottomless Trap Hole
2x Compulsory Evacuation Device
1x Dark Bribe
1x Dimensional Prison
1x Mirror Force
1x Solemn Judgment
2x Solemn Warning
1x Starlight Road
2x Torrential Tribute

Extra deck:
3x Stardust Dragon
1x Utopia
1x Chaos Utopia
(The extra deck is really where you can put in anything you want)

So yeah, I guess there's some explanation to some of my card choices.

Fossil Dyna Pachypelano:
This is one of those unexpected side cards that's mained. Its quite funny if your opponent thinks 'Oh its just a stupid recruiter or a spy' and then they swarm and get killed by this shit. Also helps to beat your opponent to death without the problem of Gorz.

Night Shot:
I did have Cyclone inside at first but due to the amount of cards used to control the opponent, it was eventually squeezed into 1 or 0. However, Cyclone is only useful if its used to eliminate backrow on the turn its set and chained with. It does suck however to hit a chainable card like Raigeki Break or another Cyclone, hence the change to Night Shot.

Bottomless Trap Hole:
I only run 1 due to the prominence of Inzektors. Sometimes the first appearance of Damsel can be the end so this card can be completely useless by then. Otherwise, the most common card to terminate huge monsters.

Compulsory Evacuation Device:
I did run 3 at one point though there's no reason to do so if your opponent can easily Normal or Special Summon the monster again. Otherwise one of the best cards to eliminate Tribute or Extra deck monsters. Kinda funny too to see your opponent's reaction when you use this on Spy.

Dark Bribe:
One of those cards that was originally meant to stop the big storm without a painful cost. Also stops any of the game changing spell/traps.

Dimensional Prison:
The ever so useful card to eliminate your opponent's monster from eliminating yours. A better top-deck than Bottomless Trap Hole, especially when you're being beatdown by a measly monster.


Well, I guess that's about all I can present to you folks about the deck which I topped 5 of WDF's tournaments with. Its not the strongest deck in the game but its one of the easiest, cheapest and most versatile decks in the game. Anyone can just pick up this to learn and play. You don't even need the extra deck at times, other than for Stardust Dragon. Maybe after this you guys will play Gravekeeper's too. But hey, Gravekeeper's mirror matches are funny as they are uninteresting. I set 1 monster and end my turn.

- Ghakim as Marik

All the talks about Lightpulsar

I am not gonna say any shit about banlist, because majority has done that.
I just be writing a small issue people had with Lightpulsar.
Not mentioning names:
Some claim Lightpulsar is the problem card.
Not saying it is False or anything, it is agreeable but not entirely.
When I read this, I still felt REDMD is as a huge problem as Lightrpulsar. REDMD is to me, one of the factors that Lightpulsar claims its rightful position in Chaos Dragon Deck.

At first . I was unsure what to write ,cause apparently I was brain dead.....
It was till one of my friend smack the facts at me than I was able to use his explanation to tell eveyone here, Lightpulsar is not 100% in credit/Problem in helping Chaos Dragon win games.

I saw one YGO blogger (not mentioning names) wrote this "If Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon would be considered the king of all dragons then Lightpulsar Dragon is most definitely the most loyal knight in the dragon empire"

Yes, I 100% agree with this statement, Lightpulsar is the best card to be used with REDMD and Atums is also a gay card to be used with REDMD.
Both Atums and Lightpulsar are loyal knights to REDMD

However, he forgot one very important fact.

The King has the ability to restrict the power of his subjects.

Hope you get the idea here.

IF the king only grant a certain  amount power to his subject, that is the limit the subject can do.

In many games I saw, to me about 70% of the Chaos Dragon player used LightPulsar's effect to revive REDMD

Cross-refer to REDMD.

If you do not have REDMD to revive in the game or if konami decides to be a dick and hit REDMD in their banlist), Lightpulsar's effect and number of possible/potential targets would be reduced.

Thus by restricting or limiting REDMD, you are controlling the power of Lightpulsar Dragon as well.

The gay power of Lightpulsar is dependant on availability of REDMD in grave.

Considering the worst situation to mild situation for REDMD

REDMD is Banned! (Yeah dream on!)
- Number of Chaos Dragon player will drop drastically in my opinion.

REDMD is limited?
- How many Lightpulsars will you put?
- What if the only REDMD is bottomless? Able to get it back?

REDMD is semi-limited
- Life will go with some bumps or some player apparently only run 2? So does it affect them?

REDMD is untouched
- Life goes on.

Considering the worst situation to mild situation for LightPulsar.

LightPulsar is Banned (Yeah 100% bullshit in my opinion)
- No worries, there is Atums, even though it does not create the impact that is as strong.

Lightpulsar is limited?
- Life is sea-sick?

Lightpulsar is semi-limited
- Not really much impact, apparently not many runs 3

Lightpulsar is untouched
- Life goes on, you happy, I also happy.

Stagnant Period.

Well, this is the boring 3 month period with no excitement until the Sept Banlist comes out and Team Tourney and shit.


And I need to STUDY seriously, I failed some of my modules!!! Time to pull up my socks.

World Championship Qualifiers Report @ Marymount

6 swiss, No joke.
Ok, on with the report.

Format: 6 swiss cut to top.
Number of Participant: Lazy to count
Deck used: Machina Rabbit Geargia
I will make it short.
Again the report is based on how much I wrote down, Life points at the end and some memory

Round 1 vs Pokekid88 (TGAA) OO-

Game 1
Normal monster Beatdown. His LP: 6150. (Machanical Chaser)
He summon Venus and used effect which I veilered. His LP: 5650.
My Chaser ran over his Venus. His LP: 5400
I summon my Gearframe, which he veiler. My Chaser killed his set Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite.  Gearframe direct attack, His LP: 3600
I xyz summon my Chaser and Gearframe for a Geargiganto X which he got rid of. (Forgot how)

He summon Card Trooper. used effect and ran me. My LP 6100.
I kind of forgot how the game goes.
He ended with a Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier (that killed my cyber dragon) and a Melomelody the Brass Djinn (that attack me twice on previous turn).
My LP: 1700
His LP 2800. Due to Zephyros abd some other shit which I forgot

I topped a BLS and killed him lol. >.<

(Sided 2 Mind Crush)

Game 2
He potted for a Heavy Storm.
So I just set 1 backrow at a time. My X-head cannon attack him. His LP: 6200
My Fortress Ran over his Card Trooper. His LP: 4100
Gearframe and Chaser also attack. His LP: 450.
He decided to heavy storm, but it did not hurt much. After that set lots of nasty backrows.
He managed to get his Master Hyperion out but it dared not attack Fortress and he got no cards to remove to bomb.
When he ended, I compluse his Hyperion. I used Fortress to attack. He attempted to Necro Gardna but I had a Divine Wrath waiting. >.<


Round 2 vs Ang Kim Meng (Inzektors) XX-

Game 1: Died to very bad hand. And as we Judgement each other, His LP: 3325, My LP: 3600. He got a DAD and bugs to kill >.<

Game 2: Number 12: Crimson Shadow Armor Ninja and a 3k Muzurhythm the String Djinn, screws things up on my Gearframe and Fortress. And I got no cards to answer me. I died.

Round 3 vs Clarence (Inzektors) XOX

Game 1 : My X-Head cannon attacks him. His LP: 6200.
His Damsel and Equipped Centipede (ladybug) killed my X-head Cannon. My LP: 6700
He xyz summon to Number 12: Crimson Shadow Armor Ninja that hit me till my LP drop to 3700. I got a mind control, took his Number 12: Crimson Shadow Armor Ninja to make Gaia Dragoo. Hit him His LP :500
But he got Bugs waiting for me and bombs me. >.<

(Sided a Morphing Jar 2 and Transmigration Prophecy)

Game 2:
2 Chaser attacks and kill his Centipede. Made a Geargiganto X. Add a Gearframe. I veiled his Damsel. Killed him outright.

Game 3
Bad hand is bad. Got killed by a 2k Chimeratech Fortress Dragon

(Lunch Break here!)

Round 4 vs Kevin Neo (Chaos Dragon) XOX
Game 1: Cannot get passed all his Summon. Light Pulsar is strong. Even with Fortress, only bomb his Lyla. Can't remember much, I just died.

(Put Transmigration Prophecy and Morphing Jar 2)

Game 2: He got a really Bad hand. Got boss card in his Hand but no Dark in his grave. (My Morphing Jar 2 milled his Cyber Dragon)

Game 3: Hit into time. I judgement his Dark hole that tried to kill my Geargiganto X, Gearframe and my Fortress. But He reborn a Cyber Dragon! You Should know what happen next

Round 5 vs Zhang Jun (Machina Gadget) XOX

Game 1: Limiter kills

(Sided  2 Mind Crush and A Morphing Jar 2)

Game 2: Veiling hits the spot along with Mind crush. Judgement his Mirror force and push fron there.


Game 3: Both of us are low on resources, but he got a cannon that hit me for game.

Round 6 vs Eu Yong Xun?? (Inzektors) OO-
(Apparently, he is very discouraged so did not play well. No need to say much)

Apparently, Wen Liang had being beside me for the last 2 rounds. ON his Round 6, he is on a match against Pokekid88, and god damn vulgar and chinese crap like hell. (Must be losing nerves due to bad win-loss ratio, srubbing already)
Saying summon in chinese, banish in chinese, graveyard in chinese etc. Vulgar in chinese too lolololo.

I also saw Galvin, (that hero beat guy who thrashed me in ACS 2012), still very calm and sane despite bad win-loss ratio.

Front table where all good win-loss ratio are as calm as hell, while the back table is like a street market due to nerve-breaking of bad win-loss ratio.

Ok, after this, it is boring 3 month with no shit to look forward, until the sept banlist. Lawl.

Updates. Abyss Rising

Inactivity due to deck testing on DN.
Ok back to the main point. This Saturday is the World's in Singapore so yeah, I will just have fun and shit. Whatever.

Ok, the following cards in the upcoming Abyss Rising caught my attention.
a) Heroic Champion - Gandiva
- Spells Trouble for Rabbit Players
- Burst the Bubble for Bubbleman
- Ironically, this card can be splashed into Heros

b) Heroic Champion - Kusanagi
- a weaker version of Naturia Barkion, but gains attack upon negating a Trap.
- Possible to be splashed into Heros?

c) Number 9: Canopy Star - Dyson Sphere
 - Interesting.

Oh yeah, the "Magical" may be better once Abyss Rising comes out.
More to deck-thinning - Magical Instructor Sisti, aka Chaos soc searcher? There is light and dark for Magical. (May work??)0.0
Er, a "Mind Control"for Magical - Magical Emperor Empeur

Finally the card that may up the tier of Magical (maybe!)
- Magical Empress Saint Tris
This card is Damn OTT. Blow cards up to the number of "spellbook"revealed, then you can "predict"'what card you will draw.

That is my fruit of thought
- Odin Kaiserchronik Kitaras

Get your Hanzos. If you know what I mean.

Even before the new booster "Abyss Rising" and Structure Deck: Roar of the Sea Emperor appeared, I had been play testing this deck. So far not quite bad. Got to admit, Hanzo anyone? The whole deck speaks for itself. Still in the testing process. Need to perfect it lol. But basically, it abuses the Mermails and the Atlanteans.

 

TTZ Trading WCQ 9/6/2012

Even though some of my teammates cease to play YGO due to NS and shit

He then monster reborn his veiler, tribute it for a Sphere of Chaos. Its effect adds a level 3 monster to hand, which is Electric Virus. I was like:






He discard Electric virus to take control of my Geargiganto X, X attacks my Gearframe, My LP 3.5k, his Sphere attacks directly, my LP 1900. Geargiganto X, returns to me at the end phase. His Sphere cannot be destroyed by battle once. Somehow, I got passed that threat and won from there.
