duelingnetwork.com

10.000~!!

Thanks to you that our blog has reached the 10.000 blog counters~ ^^

i'm sorry if there's no interesting post because many of us are busy with playing the DoTa (Defense of The Ancients) lol~

and many of us are busy too with playing the WoW Trading Card Game and Weiss Schwarz~ -.-a




see you later~ ^^-

Hongkong and(or) Macau..

Readers from Hongkong and(or) Macau readers, I will make a visit starting from 26th of June for about 4 days. I would like to know where can I find the cardshops in both Hongkong and Macau, or Konami Card Centre in Hongkong. Also, if you want, we can play for awhile or even trade :)
Do send me an email if you have any info regarding the matters above, or simply just comment down below.

Thank You

Finally, an Idea...

If, and this is only IF, the information for Grapha, Dragon Lord of the Dark World is accurate, then maybe the Fabled will have a new thing to play, using the normal Grimlo, Cerberal, Raven, Ganashia, and Chawa, but with an improved Dark World engine.

Even though Grapha is just another beatstick, it adds to the 'push' for an OTK with Ancient holy wyvern.

Road of the Synchron~

16 Monster
3x Quickdraw Synchron
2x Symphonic Warrior Basis
2x Symphonic Warrior Drums
2x beast of the pharaoh
1x Dandylion
1x Sangan
1x Grow Up Bulb
2x Level Eater
2x Spirit Reaper

20 Magic
3x Gold Sacrophagus
3x Pot of Avarice
2x Inferno Reckless Summon
2x Instant Fusion
1x Tuning
1x Reinforcement of the Army
2x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Trunade
1x Monster Reborn
1x Mind Control
1x One for one
1x Foolish Burial
1x Dark hole

4 Trap
1x Call of the Haunted
2x Limit Reverse
1x Royal Decree

this is the deck that abusing the Symphonic Warrior monster effects~ XD
for the level 3 monster~ i choose Sangan, Spirit Reaper and Beast of the Pharaoh..

Sangan is the best level 3 monster while can adding many monster cards in this deck..

Spirit Reaper because he can stalling your opponent for a few turns and saving your life points while waiting for the combo cards~ XD

Beast of the Pharaoh because he's too awesome for the synchro material monster..

because when you using this for synchro summon, you can revive it again.. and you can synchro it again~!  << powerful synchro material monster~

that's all~

see you later~ ^^-

Road Warrior #2

Another combo for Road Warrior~

after you special summon the Road Warrior, active its effect to special summon the Symphonic Warrior Drum..

and then you can active the effect of Symphonic Warrior Drum to change its attribute into earth~

and then, use the Instant Fusion by paying 1000 life points to special summon the:

1.  Fusionist..  and then synchro summon the fusionist with symphonic warrior drum to become Naturia Beast.. XD

2. Karbonala Warrior.. and then synchro summon the karbonala warrior with symphonic warrior drum to become Naturia Balkion.. :D

3. Flower Wolf.. and then synchro summon the flower wolf with symphonic warrior drum to become Naturia Landoise.. xD

interesting huh~? ^^-

Spells Only Deck

Iosmk asked me to try make a deck consisting ONLY spell cards...

It's quite challenging, but I decided to try it anyway.

Here's the deck:

Monsters 0

Spells 40

Mystical Space typhoon 2

Giant Trunade 1

Dark Hole 1

Monster reborn 1

Book of moon 1

Pot of duality 3

Scapegoat 1

Black Garden 3

Smashing Ground 3

Terraforming 2

Double cyclone 2

Hidden armory 3

Autonomus action unit 3

Hammer shot 2

Hand destruction 2

Swords of revealing Light 1

Level limit- area B 1

Nightmare Steel cage 3

Instant Fusion 2

Enemy Controller 1

Megamorph 2 / Spell economics 2

Traps 0

Extra deck 15

Flame Ghost 1

Kamionwizard 1
Musician King 1
Revise Dragon 2
Aspiring Emperror Hope 2
Generic Synchro of Choice 8

Well imo this deck required a bit of skill to use. Timing and gaining momentum is needed in playing this deck.

The goal of this deck is to stall and uses card such as hand destruction for your opponent to discard their monster cards. Smashing Ground and Hammer Shot is included to destroy opponent's monster and send them to the graveyard to be revived later via Monster Reborn of Autonomus action unit.

Double Cyclone is included for the lack of S/T removal and to destroy your own Black garden/Nightmare steelcage if you already have a stronger monster on the field via autonomus action unit.

Instant fusion is for synchro/exceed access, giving you a monster on the field with a varying choices of levels.

Megamorph can be used due to the high life point cost of this deck, effectively doubling the atk of your monster, and it is also searchable via hidden armory. However, spell economics can also be chosen if you think the life point cost is too much.

I only tried playtest this deck once in YVD, it lost 4-1 to Six sams (kept playing until I won, lol, my only victory was he had a lone LSS shien, I destroyed it by smashing 2 times, and revive it, he could not get rid of his own LSS shien and I won from there..) However, the concept and the deck itself works imo.

So I hope this is enough for the challenge :D.

Road Warrior~

Since this is my first post, i will talk a little bit about "Road Warrior"
of course for the tuner monster will be "Quickdraw Synchron"..

for this format, konami make the "Spirit Reaper" for Semi-Limited
of course it makes Spirit Reaper for one of the best level 3 non-tuner monster and it can stall your opponent~  ^^-
so.. this is a little combo for "Road Warrior"~

Special summon the Quickdraw Synchron for sending the "Level Eater" from your hand.. and normal summon the spirit reaper (of course you can use the other level 3 non-tuner monster) (or you can use the Foolish Burialfor milling the level eater and than special summon the quickdraw synchron~ XD) after that, eat 1 level from quickdraw synchron for special summoning the level eater and synchro summoning the quickdraw synchron + level eater + spirit reaper = Road Warrior~

after special summoning the Road Warrior let's start the combos~ XD
1. Road Warrior effect~ special summoning the "Turbo Rocket".. eat 1 level from Road warrior and special summoning the level eater.. tuning the level eater with turbo rocket into "Turbo Cannon" and destroy 1 monster on the field to inflict some damage~ XD of course if you can special summoning the quickdraw synchron again, you can eat 1 level from quickdraw synchron, and tuning the level eater + quickdraw synchron + turbo cannon into another Road Warrior.. and then repeat again~ XD

2. Road Warrior effect~ special summoning the "Symphonic Warrior Bassist" and then eat 1 level from Road Warrior and special summoning the level eater.. tuning the level eater with bassist into "Formula Synchron" and then draw 1 card. after that, you can eat 1 level again from Road Warrior and tuning the level eater with Formula synchron and Road warrior, into "Trishula-sama"~ XD

3. Road Warrior effect~ special summoning the "Symphonic Warrior Bassist" and then eat 1 level from Road Warrior and special summoning the level eater.. you can use the Symphonic Warrior Bassist effect to increase its level by the number of cards in your hand.. and tuning it with level eater into another synchro monster~ XD

Deck Challenges: All level 1 Monster deck and Symphonic Warrior Bassist

Some time ago, Anpanman asked me to make a deck with all monsters in it restricted to level 1. It was supposed to be finished around 2 weeks ago, but because of my university assignments and stuffs, I must postpone it (Sorry for the delay Anpanman). So without further delay, here is a decklist which I thought quite consistent, enough to conquer the PSP challenge, I suppose xP

Deck idea and decklist created by Kirin Fang

Deck name : 1 for all

3 Symponic warrior bassist

1 Grow-up bulb

2 Effect veiler

3 Battle fader

2 Batteryman D

2 Batteryman micro cell

2 Tuning ware

3 Cyber valley

1 Unknown Synchron

3 Instant fusion

3 Pot of duality

2 Machine duplication

1 One for one

1 Scapegoat

1 Dark hole

1 Monster Reborn

1 Mind control

2 MST

1 Giant trunade

2 E-con

1 Torrential

1 Synchro material

1 Call of the haunted

The unique card choice is Symphonic warrior bassist, its a level 1 monster that allows you to access higher level synchros.

Batteryman D serves as a wall that is summonable through micro cell, and Batteryman microcell itself is a draw engine.

Mind control, E-con, and Synchro material is included due to the number of low level tuners in this deck, most of the time allowing you to synchro successfully with your opponents monster.

Instant fusion is for errr...provide higher level monsters for synchros and maybe, exceed.

So, I hope this is enough for the challenge, lol.

On a side note, Symphonic warrior bassist is awesome, it's so fun to play around with. I might try to make a "real" deck in the future utilizing this card's effect, most likely when the exceeds arrived :D. Cheers.

Psycho Plant...again..

Credit goes to Wslasher and the featured deck video

Giant Rat + Creature Swap tech is definitely very nice. For me, it will be a:
-1 trooper
+1 Doctor Cranium, don't ask why, because I love my Draw Whore

And I've just realised that this deck needs more protection than combo makers such as Limit Reverse. I'm going to test my version of the deck, and I promise you guys a decklist as soon as possible :)

On a side note, this blog will hit its 10,000 mark soon. We, from AEONS, couldn't have done it without you readers. Thank You.

So, uh...Psycho-Plant??

As you all would've known from a few days ago,

Psychic Plant

Yes, this deck has taken my interest at the moment. Utilizing Mind Master engine to perform multiple synchro summons in a turn and push for an OTK? Halberd Cannon + 4 supporting backrows for a lockdown?

TEH COMBOES:

Psycho witch of Stillness set, destroyed, remove psy girl, or mind master, any of your choice. From there onwards, just go...

Debris Dandy Extinct? I don't think so...

For those who thinks that Debris Dandy is now an extinct species, well, think again...

With the limitation of Dandylion, we just need to think of another way to abuse this cute little plant.

Now, I present to you all...

Super Solar Nutrient

Grow up bulb or Spore + Super Solar Nutrient = A faster way to bring out Dandylion

Foolish Burial Dandylion + Super Solar Nutrient = some crazy combos without normal summon.

Evil Thorn + Super Solar Nutrient = Tribute itself + 2 more Evil Thorns, use Super Solar Nutrient, special summon Lonefire, Lonefire tribute the other Evil thorn for Spore, Synchro for Arms Aid, Drop DAD, Use spore effect to become lvl 4, Synchro for any Lvl 8.

Be creative and try it out yourselves!

Ideas taken from Only The Duel
Ideas taken from Accel Scrubbing

Fabled Dragunity

Monsters 22

The Tricky 2

The Fabled Cerburrel 3

The Fabled Chawa 3

Fabled Grimlo 3

Fabled Kruz 3

Dragunity-Dux 3

Dragunity-Legion 1

Dragunity-Phalanx 2

Dragunity-Aklys 2

Blackwing-Zephyros the Elite 1

Spells 14

Dragon Canyon 3

Terraforming 2

Monster Reborn 1

Dark hole 1

Mystical Space Typhoon 2

Giant Trunade 1

Pot of Avarice 2

Book of Moon 1

Mind Control 1

Traps 4

Solemn Judgement 1

Solemn Warning 2

Torrential Tribute 1

Extra Deck 15

T.G Hyper Librarian 1~2
Fabled Ragin 1~2
Fabled Levuathan 1
Trident Dragion 1


Basically the main idea of this deck is to use Dragon Canyon's discard ruling to benefit Fableds.

The Fableds are also included for the ease of summoning T.G Librarian (Librarian love), and with dragunity able to synchro many times in 1 turn, giving 2 or 3 draws in the process.

The deck also able to summon Trident dragion and Levuathan fairly easily if The Fabled Cerburrel is discarded as the cost for Dragon Canyon or many other variations depending on the stage of the duel.

The deck is currently under YVD testing and still needs tuning here and there, but IMO it's a fun deck to play.

Stardust Master Has Arrive !!

Long Time No See~
this time i came up with a new dueling video brought by me with my iphone :D
so the duel is between Hanekuribo a.k.a AEONS against Zerra
Hanekuribo is using Stardust no Kazoku Deck !!

Game Mechanic Change as per 2011/03/19

□■モンスターの起動効果のルール変更に関するお知らせ　■□

平素より遊戯王OCGにてお遊び頂き誠にありがとうございます。

遊戯王OCGにおきましては、常にお客様にエキサイティングなデュエルを楽しんで頂ける様、
バランスを考慮しつつカード毎のルールの変更が発生する事がありますが、
この度、モンスターの起動効果に関してのルール変更がございますので下記の通りお知らせ致します。

◆ルール変更適用日◆

2011年3月19日（土）

今回のルール変更につきましては、遊戯王ゼアルOCG「スターターデッキ」の発売日と同じく2011年3月19日（土）からの適用となります。


◆ルール変更点◆

●変更前
モンスターの起動効果を、モンスターの召喚（反転召喚・特殊召喚）に成功したタイミングに発動する事ができる。

●変更後
モンスターの起動効果を、モンスターの召喚（反転召喚・特殊召喚）に成功したタイミングでは発動できない。

※基本的にモンスターの起動効果は、特に指定の無い限り、メインフェイズにて発動する事ができる効果になります。
何らかの効果処理が完了した時や、1つの行動の終了時という特定のタイミングに於いての発動はできません。
2011年3月18日までのルールではモンスターの召喚（反転召喚・特殊召喚）という特定の行動の終了時に発動ができるとなっておりますが、2011年3月19日以降はそのタイミングでのモンスターの起動効果は発動できないルールに変更となります。

taken from here

1. Basically means that monsters with ignition effect, or what we are all familiar with priority, will be changed. They are unable to activate their effect even after they are normal summoned, advance summoned, or special summoned successfully.

2. Taking an example of Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Boundary. Usually when you summon Brionac and declare priority, discard how many cards you want to return, and let's say opponent respond with a bottomless trap hole.

3. Before -> Chain Link 1(Brionac), Chain Link 2(Bottomless trap hole).
Now -> Just Bottomless trap hole finishing off your Brionac as there will be no priority.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but cards such as Black Rose Dragon, Trishula, Monarchs, unless their summons are negated, effects will still be able to activate.

Something good with the new banlist!!

well some ppl here and there protest about why GOYO is banned?? and why BoM is even limited?? and what's with banned cold wave?? well my decks don't really care bout that stuff, with kallut joins black whirlwind in limited pile, and 1 honest and 2 christia (not really works out IMO), and even GATEWAY, even tho TCG players r just getting STOR nowadays, lol, this may be the start of the new era of exceed summons, well, we should see the brighter side of this ban list

not longer limited :

3x demise

3x chaos sorcerer

3x gold sacro

do you see what i see?? karakuri plants machiners may be rank A+, and i should make this build an A :D

just for some ideas :

Chaotic Rituals of dark fairy synchro <-- holy tits == (random name, just joking :D )

monster :

3x manju

2x demise

1x perfect herald

3x chaos sorcerer

2x christia

3x mystical shine ball

2x mokey mokey

1x gyakutenno megami

2x spirit reaper

1x DAD

3x dekoichi

2x black salvo

spell :

1x advanced ritual art

1x allure of darkness

2x avarice

3x gold sarcophagus

2x MST

2x white elephant gifts

trap :

2x Solemn warning

1x solemn judgement

1x mirror force

again, just random list, haven't even try it, i hope this build can get a good go. rate n fix are very welcomed

me go off

new account!!

yeah!!

hey guys, back to me, i was using AEONS account now, but now i use my account as a writer, as u all know, i'm joey, and using this account as Jouya-Sama bcause == so..

enjoy your stay here, look around, find something interesting, help yourself :D

i'm gonna post some stuff later. cya guys!

You (Can't) play Yugioh the same way again..

Yes, that's the title for today's post. Why? Blame Hyper Librarian and Formula Synchron. Now that Dandy's at 1, I decided to change my deck, still, inspired by the Draw Whore combo and Machiners Karakuri Plant from DuelingDays. Here's my 2 cents:

Instead of summoning Red Demons Dragon when opponent has 2 tokens and a face down monster, I decided to do a Bureido loop.
Instead of summoning a mist wurm to bounce off 2 facedown monsters and a backrow which i happened to know is a mirror force, I did a librarian/Trishula combo, aaand I happened to hit a ryko which milled a dandy.

I dunno if my moves were good or bad, but definitely, drawing out of your draw phase is fun.

Critics and comments would be very appreciated :)

Thoughts About the Banlist

Banned cards:

Goyo - don't know why he's here...
Cold wave - expected
Mass Driver - should've been here since frogs

Limited Cards:

Honest and Kalat - less surprises from hand?
Dandylion - expected, with all the tokens becaming formula synchrons.
Gateway of the six - expected.
Book of moon - seriously, this is surprising. Maybe it has something to do with exceed? like if the exceed monster turned face down then the overlay units will be sent to the grave, I might be wrong, but who knows lol.

Semi-Limited Cards:

Card trooper - Yes.
Spirit reaper - Lol I'm gonna play debris revive beast of pharaoh, black rose and SS reaper...maybe...
Debris dragon - 2 seems to be a good number, dandy is limited, but with the addition of another card trooper and reaper, debris dragon still have a number of good viable targets.
Kristya - Many angel builds also only uses 2 kristya, so semi-limiting this card actually doesn't do much to the deck..
Royal tribute - should be limited IMO.
Overload fusion - with cydra at 3, this card might see some play, but not as broken as when future fusion was still at 3.
Megamorph - with solemn warning and judgment using life points as a cost, this card might be a good choice in setting for a 1 hit wonder by preventing opponent from summoning lol. A good choice in psychics too, with a lot of life points payment and the ability to swarm with the new support.
Solemn Warning - Many decks use 2, so it doesn't matter, though less solemn warning will give some breathing space for people to actually make their plays.
Icarus Attack - Cripples blackwings.

Now for the good news:

No Longer Restricted:

Chaos Sorcerer - This card is bound to see some play. Maybe in psychics? removing psychic monsters from play and abusing them from RFG lol.
Snipe Hunter - Why was he hit by the banlist in the first place..?
Demise - Really no comment on this card...not many people even actually tried to abuse him even when he was at 2.
Dewloren - With no substitutoad, this card is guiltless.
Gold Sarcro - Not really imba with necroface at 1, maybe again usable with psychics?
Skill Drain - With cold wave now banned, no heavy storm and MST stays at 2...D.D Eatos anyone?
Ultimate offering - Yes.

Thoughts:

No storm, no cold wave, mst stays at 2, not forgetting skill drain back to 3, this is worse than the previous trap format...Exceed please save us.

Blackwings are pretty much crippled...

Samurais are hit quite hard, with gateway at 1, they became more like infernities, still powerful, however lacking..shien is still bothersome though.

Quickdraw dandy and Debris dandy loses much potential of their gamebreaking plays, still strong however.

Angels are not really affected with the semi restriction of kristya, maybe honest, but they can still hold their own with trishula plays and hyperion.

Karakuri variants and Psychics are top contenders IMO (not taking exceed summons into account yet).


Favourite change about this banlist : Card trooper to 2 :D

Favourite thing about this banlist : Formula and Librarian aren't hit :D :D :D and less warnings and moons to worry about.

The Banlist post......F*ck...

Alright first of all, The Banlist.

Banned

Goyo Guardian
Cold Wave
Mass Driver

Limited

Gateway of The Six
Honest
Dandylion
BF - Kalut
Book of Moon

Semi-Limited

Debris Dragon
Card Trooper
Archlord Kristya
Spirit Reaper
Royal Tribute
Overload Fusion
Megamorph
Solemn Warning
Icarus attack

No longer restricted

Chaos Sorcerer
Snipe Hunter
Demise, King of Armageddon
Dewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier
Gold Sarcophagus
Skill Drain
Ultimate Offering

Holy mother of God.....

Psychic combo anyone?
GB anyone?
Frog Monarch anyone?
Karakuri Machiners Plant anyone?

You guys can figure out the rest. Wait for the other blog members to review their own thoughts. As for Exceed, I am interested in the concept, that's all.

Apology

to those whom I've said a 'plagiarist', I'm sorry and this will never happen again.

Local Big Hurricane

Normal Trap Card

Return all cards from your hand and Graveyard to the Deck(s).


So a friend challenged me to build a deck, use this card in the deck, activate it at least once in a duel, and win against his debris dandy deck. A free buffet meal if I win, but a bubble tea if I lose.

Challenge accepted.

Results: Free buffet meal :D

Deck used: Empty Jar lol.

Analysis: IMO empty jar can benefit from this card since it would prevent the drawback of your hand suddenly being 0 because book of taiyou can be set and flipped at the same turn, however it returns all your books from the graveyard to extend the number of times Morphing jar can be flipped face up and face down. And to a certain extend, it can solve empty jar's problem of you decking out first before you opponent (while this is unlikely, it happens if your opponent uses a 50++ cards deck...I've stopped playing empty jar because it could not beat Adam's 50 cards mill deck ==).

However, in a competitive empty jar, Transmigration prophecy is much more effective IMO, not to mention some builds don't even use it...

Yet, I must say I do enjoy doing challenges like this, its like having the trill of being at disadvantage and trying to figure out something new (like Yusei when he discovered shooting star) xD.

Do comment if any of you guys have any suggestions for a challenge :D.

Regarding Plagiarism

Please, at least give a credit to the original creator of any of the 'unique' decklist that you posted. It's not me by the way, it's just that my friend, newbieOO at least deserve some credits after what he posted about the cloudian deck.

Six Samurai Hermit + Asceticism of the Six Samurai

Special Summon Six Samurai Hermit.

Activate Asceticism of the Six Samurai.

Special Summon Kagemusha of the Six Samurai.

Synchro Summon Shien.

Haven't normal summon yet...

Or it can happen vice-versa by normal summoning Kagemusha first then SS Hermit.

Additionally, both can be search by Shien's Smoke Signal.


And also as Mike of http://duelinglegacy.blogspot.com/ pointed out, Hermit is splashable in

many decks especially those with warrior tuners, allowing them to synchro summon Shien...

Sabers + Shien = GG IMO.

~Cielo de Oro~

Confused with the title?
hha..
now i will explain..
Cielo de Oro is another version of Golden Cloud made by my friend Newbie00
which he entrust to me before he left indo..
the main trick is all the same... still focused on Tech Genus Hyper Librarian

it's all like Turbulance Special Summon Smoke Ball then use Fog Control For Multiply the Fog Counter then discard card from your hand to Special Summon Fishborg Blaster then Massive Synchro or i suppose to say self touching with your synchro Pile until u form many-many synchros...(for this part i didn't joke)..
:p
so now.. here comes the decklist~

EXVC Stuff

Well EXVC just came out in Singapore yesterday, or a few days ago. Personal oppinion, but I'll give this set a 70/100, less than my expectation. Now I'll review some cards that catched my attention from the new set.

Junk Servant
Everyone loves a free Trishula from Junk Synchron right?

Unknown Synchron
Searchable by Tuning, Machine, Dark, Black Bomber anyone?

Necro Defender
A somewhat nerfed Necro Gardna, overall balanced.

Karakuri Komachi 224
Abusable by both Burei and Bureido, possible OTK material?

Gladiator Beast Tiger
Seems that Konami made another GB, and this time, it doesn't have the "when you whack something, bring back your mate" effect, but to dump something for Darius, and seach for Chariot or Respite might turn the table around for GB players.

Psycho Reactor
Wow, a Dimensional Prison for Psychic.

Brain Hazard
A Call of the Haunted for your RFG-ed Psychic monster, nice.

Tech Genus Stuff
We'll see if they can take the spotlight soon.

Cola Tourney Report

Prize: A can of Cola lol

Well the entry prize is free, so we all kinda went for the lulz.

Format: Single Elimination

Participants: 8 die hard cola fans (people who would use tier 1 decks, and actually side decking in a tourney for a can of cola, not to mention calling the judge during the match)

Deck used: Angel

Match 1: Jun (X-Sabers)
1: Duality into Agent earth and with a lot of drawing and decent backrow into a field of 2 Hyperions and Kristya
2: Saw a lot of Emmersblade suiciding, and suddenly his field became a Gottoms, searching another 3 Sabers with darksoul, with me handless..
3: Opening hand of 3 Hyperions, luckily after 2 turns I drew an Agent earth. Winning from there.
OXO

Match 2: Zerra (Six Sams)
1: I saw 2 gateways...
2: I saw 3 gateways...
XX

Results: No Cola :( lol

For those of you who are curions, Cielotte won the tourney with his zombie deck...

Yes, he would think about 5 minutes a turn for a can of cola....

Some Decklist :\

well, im gonna post 1 of my new decks, which i think is very fun to play, and doesn't got anything to do with the maybe next upcoming banlist, though like dandies, and other staples. enough talk here it is :

Fabled Valkyrus x2
Fabled Unicore
Arcanite Magician x2

Brionac x1
Goyo guardian x1
Stardust dragon x1
Formula synchron x2

How to play?
well this deck im playin is very very fun in matter of playing, but it takes thought and time to play this perfectly,
which means im still not very good at this too, but the easier combo is to get Raven, Goldd and either Grimlo or kruz in hand. summon raven, toss gold for heaven's sake, tune into valkyrus, discard 1 kruz/grimlo n then draw 1, revive Raven, and depends on ur hand, you can do much more combos, like Tricky-cerburell, or anything.

this deck is so fun, even your hand will get 0, but i made OTK so often, if u maintain to get levuathan, dont mind to blackrosed, or dark hole-ing your levuathan :D. to get the pluses back from grave and do more shits out of ur opponents ass.

you can replace back to square one with PWWB actually, but i use back to square 1 because its magic, and easier to use for OTKing.

this is how far i can guide you to play this deck, the rests are in your mind :)

Elysium with Sin World

A few years back when Rauzes from Only The Duel started blogging, I took an interest in one of the decks he posted, which was Elysium, go look it up if you're not familiar with it.

With the soon-to-be-released Sin World, I'm going to try to bring up the once forgotten Elysium back, with the concept of SIN!

Of course, this is just a rough Idea, and I promise you a decklist which will be posted once I have all the cards plus a few playtests. Wish me luck! any ideas or comments will be very appreciated :)


Mr.G Signing off.

Sin Sin And More Sin !!

Yahooo~
Finally Sin World Effect's is out even it's not like what i've imagine it's okeii~

The Effect was like this

During your Draw Phase, instead of conducting your normal draw, you can select 3 "Sin" cards from your Deck, have your opponent pick 1 of them at random, and add it to your hand. Return the remaining cards to your Deck.

So we can easily add any "Sin" Card from deck to hand,and i do mention ANY..
not just the monster.. u can also add another Sin World just in case your sin world is Destroyed~

and

Sin Paradox Dragon

"Sin Parallel Gear" + 1 non-Tuner "Sin" monster
When this card is Synchro Summoned, you can select 1 Synchro Monster in either player's Graveyard, and Special Summon it. There can only be 1 face-up "Sin Paradox Dragon" on the field. If "Sin World" is not face-up on the field, destroy this card.

it's kinda Good Since u can easily add Sin Paralel Gear To your hand and go for synchro summoning this card and realize the material is your Sin Monster in YOUR HAND..
kinda good huh?
don't know why i kinda look forward for this sin archtype and make it for a competitive deck..
^^~

That's All~

Maxx "C" is the new Sexy LOL

You can activate this effect during either player's turn by sending this card from your hand to the Graveyard. This turn, each time your opponent Special Summon a monster(s), draw 1 card. You can only activate "Maxx "C"" once per turn.

This card will come out as a TCG exclusive in the upcoming STOR.

The card itself is pretty self explanatory.

Junk and Debris target with awesome effect lol.

Naturia Landoise in Six Samurais

1 EARTH Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner EARTH monsters.
You can send 1 Spell Card from your hand to the Graveyard to negate the activation of an Effect Monster's effect, and destroy that Effect Monster.

Why not?

While it has attribute restrictions, it's accessible through Kagemusha + Grandmaster which happens quite a lot IMO and it gives a new edge to the shien lock.

It also has the advantage of having the same attribute as its materials and hence enabling it to be synchro summoned under Gozen Match.

Six Samurais themselves usually use around 20 spell cards, so the cost should be managable.


Worth an extra deck space?

TG Recipro Dragonfly & Halberd Cannon in Golden Cloud

The 2 cards that will come out in Extreme Victory.

Tech Genus Recipro Dragonfly

1 Tuner + 1 non-Tuner monster
Once per turn, you can send 1 other "Tech Genus" Synchro Monster you control to the Graveyard. Then, if all the monsters that were used for the Synchro Summon of that monster are in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon them.


1. Special summon storm dragon, summon turbulence, turbulence gain 2 counter > special summon 2 smoke balls.

2. Synchro storm dragon and turbulence with fishborg into librarians.

3. Tune both smoke balls into Recipro dragonfly A and Recipro dragonfly B (The latter summoned Recipro dragonfly), use Dragonfly A's effect to split Dragonfly B into its material (Dragonfly A cannot be splitted by other Recipro dragonflies' effect because fishborg is summoned once again for the synchro summon of dragonfly B, and hence lost its "used for the synchro summoned" condition for dragonfly A, thanks to Rauzes for pointing this out). Total draw will be 4 cards from librarian's effect in synchroing 2 Recipro dragonflies.

4. Use the materials from the splitted Recipro dragonfly to form formula synchron and draw extra 3 cards.

5. Use pot of avarice and return all your synchros and hopefully you can repeat #1 - #4 next turn :D.

6. All of the above are assuming nothing horrible happens.


Tech Genus Halberd Cannon

1 Tuner Synchro Monster + 2 or more non-Tuner Synchro Monsters
This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Synchro Summon. While this card is face-up on the field, once per turn you can negate the Normal Summon, Flip Summon or Special Summon of a monster and destroy it. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can select 1 Tech Genus monster in your Graveyard and Special Summon it.


Formula Synchron + 2 Librarians (1 synchro tuner + 2 synchro non- tuner :D)


For those who are looking for Golden Cloud decklist, just look around 3-4 previous posts and there you are.


Props to shriek.twoday.net for the card names and effects.


[Note: I edited the post due to Rauzes's comment on used for synchro summon rulings. Thanks again to him for pointing that out.]

FLOL to the guy who posted pot of duality as a gold rare..

It was fake...nice one on photoshopping the name WITHOUT the GOLD LABELLING, and if u look close enough, it was a CROP and done..and moreover, GS02? nice one..

Gold Series 2011...

The rumor about Pot of Duality getting reprinted MIGHT not be true..

Although I wish it was.

As you all know...

I'm currently living in Singapore, and often goes down to CardMasters. Don't be shy to say Hi if you encounter some weird fellow who speaks Indonesian in CardMasters, that would be either me or my friend :) Ask me for my album, or duel, or anything related to YGO :)

I will be posting my GS2011 pull later on this week..or next week..

And from the news corner..
EXVC's cover, Junk Berserker looks promising, IF the effects are really as rumored, then Dopple Warriors & Quickdraw Synchron would've been a very nice addition to my Debris Dandy.

For the picture..( Credits to shriek.twoday.net)

the currently deck i'm playing :)

now, just recently i built a fun deck (made currently yesterday)
out of nowhere, building many decks become my hobby @_@
well, of course not all of them really do well in matches, but yea, they're quite interesting.
now i want to talk bout this combo, i think everyone's thought of it too.

u know, when u get lonefire blossom, and supervise in ur hand, and mostly giant trunade, it's usually 80% OTK. of course we're not talking about if ur opponent has veilers, or tragoedia or gorz, or even fader, but mostly this combo do just fine.

let's take a look in this card here first

yeah it's good to know, firstly go MST or giant trunade first, n then summon it, and tribute to summon

oh yeah it's going better :), next put supervise unto him

just if some ppl confuse its rulling, i'll copy it here
If the equipped monster and “Supervise” are destroyed at the same time, you can use the effect of “Supervise” to Special Summon the monster it was equipped to


yeah so, when we're using gigaplant and synchro it, even if u dont have any geminis in ur grave, u still can revive that gigaplant :D
well, let's continue, now u have a field of gigaplant equipped with supervise. 
use gigaplant's effect to special summon lonefire blossom from graveyard. activate lonefire effect, tributing itself to summon 

well, now u know what to do. do something that everyone does in 5d's!!
synchro summon!! the one u have to sync is this guy over here, who doesn't get to 5 legendaries dragons, but with some crap leo/ruka now be a signer ( i dont follow the anime myself)

use his effect!! search 2 other supervise ( if u dont have any in ur hand) and/or 

only if ur opponent have monsters, or

well u don't have a use for this card, but trust me this rocks
well now u have a field of 1 Power Tool Dragon, and 1 Gigaplant.
assuming of the chance of getting the 2nd supervise is 2/3 in case u got it, then move onto the next one
equip supervise again to gigaplant, revive spore, and sync for another Power Tool Dragon, 
with supervise's effect reviving gigaplant from grave. 
once again Power Tool Dragon effect activates, now u will have to choose for 2 Mark of the Rose, with 1 DDR or vice versa.
assuming your opponents has a monster. then u should do 2 mark of the rose with 1 DDR. 
again with a chance of 2/3, you got your mark of the rose.
removing lonefire from your graveyard, and take control of your opponent's monster.
if your opponent's field is empty, then attack for game :)


but what if in case u got DDR in ur hand? well it's not a problem,
removing lonefire to revive spore from grave, and then DDR lonefire from RFP, tributing again himself to summon bulb/tytannial, and attack for greatness :D


well this combo still lacks of supports, it easily dodged by six samurais, that the fact they can build easy shien, or even 2 shiens, that will negate supervise or anything that make the game go wrong >:D
as i said before, trago gorz or even fader is a pain too, as well as veilers, as they negate the first gigaplant, then it's over for OTKing. 
though, this deck build still lacks of drawer, currently only allure, and still has a very very bad hand. so i'm still reconstructor this deck over and over.
well this is for today, 
Hope this idea helps
Joey

Monster [21]

Gorz 1
Tragoedia 1
Dragon ice 1

Cloudian - Turbulance 3
Cloudian - Smoke Ball 3
Cloudian - Storm dragon 1
Sangan 1
Fishborg Blaster 3
Glow-up Bulb 1

Book of moon 3
Giant trunade 1
Mystical 2
Foolish burial 1
One 4 One 1
Morray of greed 1

Traps [1]

Trecherous trap hole 1


Basically, this deck abuses Cloudian - Turbulence 's effect to special summon smoke ball and Fishborg blaster to tune into TG- Hyper Librarian and a Formula synchron for drawing.

The deck still needs tuning here and there, but in my opinion its very fun to play with and is capable of making some interesting plays.

#1 Normal summon Turbulence>Special summon smoke ball, revive fishborg with its own effect, tune turbulence into Hyper librarian and smoke ball into formula synchron, which can synchro again into arcanite and destroy 2 cards.

#2 Normal summon Turbulence>Special summon smoke ball, tribute smoke ball for fog control and put 3 counters on turbulence> Special summon 3 smoke balls and using fishborg blaster to tune into Hyper librarian and 3 formula synchron = Drawing goodness.

#3 Special summon Storm Dragon> Normal summon Turbulence (Turbulence effect should give him 2 counters now as there are 2 cloudians on the field), Use storm dragon's effect to give turbulence another counter, special summon 2-3 smoke balls, and use fishborg blaster to tune both storm dragon and turbulence to hyper librarians and the smoke balls to formula synchrons. End field result will be 2 Hyper librarians and 2 formula synchrons (supposed to be able to form 3 formula synchrons, but because field limit is 5 so...) and a capacity to synchro 2 level 7 monsters, drawing another 1 card in the process of summoning 1.

#4 Storm dragon + Turbulence + Fishborg = Trishula :D

#5 Should have some more, but the above ones are the combos that are often pulled off, some of the others are highly situational.

Happy Belated New Year to Y'all!

I know it's quite late, but oh well Happy New Year to you all readers!

New year, new resolutions, new stuff on YGO and so on. Today I'm going to review a few things in mind.

1. State of the current metagame

First of all, I can say that it has finally entered a solid state where Six Samurais, Black Feathers, Debris Dandies, and Angels are dominating the current metagame scene. In where I'm standing as a Debris Dandy user, I found it hard to stop Six Samurais if they go first, BFs are still manageable but tough to beat, and depending on the situation, Angels are also a hard matchup with Kristya bombardment.

2. Gold Series 2011

Just my 2 cents, they reprinted CCV in the first gold series and they limited it beforehand, I don't know whether my predictions are correct, but I guess Dark Hole's gonna bite the dust soon. On the other hand, re-banning Dark Hole within our current metagame's not gonna help any better against top tier decks.

3. Extreme Victory

Nothing much, except that I'm looking forward to Junk Berserker. I hope the effect's the same as I hoped it will be.

4. Ban List March 2011

Do not take my predictions as a guideline or anything as I might be wrong. I predict that either Gateway of The Six to be Limited or Black Whirlwind to be Semi Limited, Brain Control to 1, Solemn Warning to 2, and TECH GENUS HYPER LIBRARIAN to be SEMI LIMITED only, reason being that there hasn't been a single deck that won the recent japanese tournament as far as I know that abuses TG Hyper Librarian, although it's very abusable, I've tried the deck and it's quite inconsistent. Pot of Duality to Semi Limited?

And oh some people predicted the Limitation of Debris Dragon. Ouch to my deck.
