So let's build a Black Magician Deck

Yes I really have nothing better to post it is sorta sad really but Dark Magician is pure Nostalgia. This deck is not meant to win but if you do you need to say "MIND CRUSH!". And you must make every move while acting like and speaking like either Japanese anime or American anime Yugi. (Do this and put the video on Youtube... If you give me the link I'll put it on here..)

Well yesterday I hit up locals

I was finally able to obtain another Formula Synchron.... and I got another Sazank so I can trade with a friend for his 3 GK Spys.

Today I don't have too much to say but I got a few duels in yesterday. None of them mattered as I wasn't in the tourney and couldn't duel anyone good because they were all playing... So I played a friend of mine his brother in law and some other guy... 4 way tag... Without the right rules... Needless to say my partner didn't know how to use his own cards and died immediately and in the end I ran out of monsters to play with (It was 2 on 1 after a few turns...) so I quit as we were holding up the tourney and they couldn't kill Marshmallon......

After my friend was done his second round I dueled him with my Karakuri Tronic deck... First turn he ran into Nisamu and Time Machine so I quickly on my next turn summoned Burei and Power Tool and set my entire hand... and then after they both died on my turn I drew Future Fusion and played it removing my entire deck of machines and ended with my face-down Overload Fusion for game...

Over the Nexus Duel Report

Was dueling Junk Destroyer.... Went back and forth until he destroyed Shooting Star with Trishula (WTF)... I just almost lost after multiple reversals to a Monster Reborn top deck with Nitro Warrior against 2 Dandylion Tokens and Beast of the Pharaoh..

EDIT: OMG it might not be over yet... I top-decked Ryko as he couldn't win that turn... Oh **** me he tops his last Junk Synchron... Armory Arm IS JANK!!!!!! **** ya... uh well Level Eater isn't... Um is it healthy to get a third Debris Dragon topdeck... So now it's 2 tokens to nothing I'm at 1300 hes at 3700... he charged for a ryko... crap... I had a Spore unactivated that I didn't notice... I dropped trishula to remove ryko... swung over f/d Tuningware... and ended... he played nothing so I took advantage and hopefully won. GG Call Of The Haunted succeeded reviving Chevalier de Fleur from turn 1...negated scapegoat FTW GG after 35 turns... Duel was too long to create a replay....

So yeah the game is beastly and the hi level AI is epicly fun. This is quoted from Pojo.biz from myself who posted it.

How to L2P Childrens Card Games

Occasionally while browsing a forum for Yugimonz you will see someone say L2P well this means Learn to Play.  And as a result I will tell you all how to Learn to Play correctly so that you don't suffer a horrid defeat at a evil evil specific ruling or just a horrid mistake.

Listening to Music Theory-Oh

This seems completely random theory-oh but how many people out there do you know listen to music of some kind while dueling? Do you notice that they normally seem a little more composed even when momentum shifts against them? Do you notice that they play a little better? Well here's my theory as to why that happens.

"Black Magic!!!"

I was too wrapped up in watching old Yu-Gi-Oh in Japanese for the first time as I am a huge Nostalgia Fan lol. But thanks to that inspiration I have decided to include at least 1 card from classic yugioh in every deck I build from now on so expect to see dumb crap like running Black Magician and Black Magician Girl in Chaos Plants (I dropped Beast of the Pharaoh and Quickdraw Synchron for them lol). Or Kusaritsuki Boomerang and Time Machine in Karakuri Deformers... OR Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Obelisk no Kyoshinhei in Formula Monarchs. .

Emergency Post: New Rules effective March 19th for OCG!!!

So just like the advent of Synchros the advent of Exceeds' comes with a new rule to change the game. When the first Synchro Starter Deck came out Extra Decks were limited to 15 cards and Sidedecks could have anywhere from 0-15 cards while maximum decksize was changed to 60 and minimum stayed at 40. This time around they aren't doing anything to decks but rather utterly destroying our abuse of the priority system. Read the Quote after the jump for badly translated specifics and my views on this sudden change.

Exceeds Summons!!!!!?!?!?!?! WTFBBQSAUCE!!!

Yes this is a Black card not White not Orange, Yellow, Pink, Green, Blue, or Purple not even Dark Grey. Aside from the cards being overly awesome to look at they are also rather easy to play... This one being No.17 Revise Dragon has a Rank of 3 as indicated by the stars appearing on the opposite side of the card. The rank normally is equal to t he level of each of the two monsters used to summon it (At this time none of them break that pattern.) Revise Dragon requires "2 Level 3 Monsters" as stated on the card text where the Synchro Material or Fusion Material requirements would commonly be found. An Exceeds Monster has the materials used to summon it placed under it and they act as counters. They no longer count as being on the field nor are they sent to the graveyard until the Exceeds monster is sent as well. The Materials also don't count as being sent from anywhere to the graveyard so Dandylion and Sangan will not work. There is more information on Pojo.biz from Dark Evangel and there is also some info on Shriek.twoday.net I basically copied it just so people who didn't follow it closely weren't left out. After the jump I have some neato ideas and for now I won't mention using tokens for Exceeds because well we don't know if they work or not.

Unlimited

The new unlimited cards definitely need an article as they are very odd choices. I mean seriously 3 Ultimate Offering? Anyway well see whether my forecasts are correct or not in 2 weeks.

Limited

Today I will review the new unprecedented amounts of limited and semi-limited cards and the effects they may possibly have on the meta and top decks as a whole. Read more to find out how much the limits really hurt.

Forbidden

Today I will speak about the new list and what i see it doing to today's top decks. Acoording to the list Debris has to change... Sams have to change... BF has to change and so on read more to find out how the new Forbidden Cards change the game.

Sorry for the emptiness

I just got Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and beat Galactus after 2 hours of trying until I learned I actually could dodge everything lol. Well as things go Yu-Gi-Oh wise... Against a noob even an incomplete Formula Monarch deck will destroy their lives... I lost round 1 due to a random Dimensional Fissure stopping all my plays and having no way to summon anything I scooped. Round 2 I got a semi useable hand and wound up summoning LADD after repeated Creature Swaps and Synchro Summons... LADD won that for me and we had no time for round 3 sadly I wish I could have then I could have shown him how the deck works... Never even got to summon Formula Synchron... sadface...

but yes today has been greatness. I'll be pissed when the day ends and I have to go back to school but then again I'll get to see this one person I love seeing everyday.

Giant Psychic Removal Synchro REDUX

With immense help from Volkmar (Please tell me I got the name right) of pojo I have created a rather nice Psychic build without any of the FTK or OTK pieces (Can be sided in if you wanted lol)

Salvage Warrior

Salvage Warrior
Water
Level 5
Warrior/Effect
When this card is Tribute Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 Tuner from your hand or graveyard.
1900/1600




Read More to see if this card is usable or not... and as a general rule never and I mean never say a card sucks if it isn't splashable... splashable cards make games bad. I wonder if anyone else remembers CC format where every deck was generally the same and full of only Staple cards and rarely tech that had synergy resulting in the creation of a real banlist (I played in this format when I was a noob after 2 years of playing...I was 8 or 9 and just got really into the game. yeah Painful Choice screwed me because I had no idea that giving them the Black Luster Soldier instead of Chaos Emperor Dragon would make me lose just as badly (Maha Vailo with Axe of Despair was beasting until it got blown up))

Esoteric Buddhism

即神仏 (Kanji)
そくしんぶつ (Furigana)
Sokushin Butsu (Romaji)
Instant Shinto (Shriek... Buddhism has nothing to do with Shinto)
Instant God Curse (Wikia (Makes absolutely no sense))
Promotion to Buddha (My fanslation)
Accelerated Buddha (My other fanslation)

Spell Card
Quick-Play
Select 1 monster you control and send it to the graveyard.



So yeah let's hope Dark Evangel of Pojo or LeArk of Janime has a good translation. Read more in order to see the review duh.

As promised Tech Genus Redux

Well yeah I'm not giving any explanation this time because there is nothing to really explain... and I sorta already built this so uh no point in going over things because no one needed such help before.

Remove from Game Psychic

Sides into FTK if you want lol. But otherwise it is working rather well and the new Psychic monsters give alot more power to the deck.

Pure Karakuri

Yes I said it not Deformer Karakuri... Not Blackkuri... Not Machinakuri... Not Karakuri OTK.dek but Pure only Karakuri monster Karakuri (That can change if you want tech lol)

Extreme Victory Full Reveal!!

Shriek.Twoday.net and similar blog's have the entire set list ready pictures or not. I have just added this to my YVD and will today and for the next while be doing card reviews and decks making sure to use these new cards. Expect another post around 7 PM EST with a deck and a few reviews to accompany it. (these decks will use both TCG and OCG due to the fact that I like to see the possible when both pools meet.)

Nordic is awesome...

In lieu of the official STOR release in TCGland here is a Nordic Synchro deck:

A study on the pro's and con's of opening plays

Alrighty guys, a standard opening play is normally conservative but sometimes opening plays that put out a threat immediately are just as good. Here are my observations on this:

Fiend Control V2

2|Sdde|Caius the Shadow Monarch
1|Stor|Chaos Hunter
3|Sjcs|Doomcaliber Knight
2|Ha02|Fabled Gallabas
1|Ha02|Fabled Kushano

2|Drev|Effect Veiler

2|Pgd|Book of Moon
3|Drev|Pot of Duality
2|Sd2|Mystical Space Typhoon

1|Sdk|Dark Hole

2|Ysdj|Compulsory Evacuation Device

2|Drev|Solemn Warning
1|Mrd|Mirror Force
1|Sdj|Seven Tools of the Bandit
1|Lod|Royal Oppression
2|Stbl|Vanity's Emptiness

Trust me it is good and this is only a rough idea I think that with enough creative minds behind it this deck could become a force to be reckoned with now all we need is one or two more good useful fiend support and it will be ready.

Chaos Hunter is sex

Fiend/Effect

When your opponent Special Summons a monster, you can discard 1 card to Special Summon this card from your hand. Your opponent cannot remove cards from play.
