Reborn Tengu

So that Reborn Tengu... Trash huh?

Dragunity

Sucks, hardcore. I mean sure it has its moments, but on the whole it's like tier two. Which is sad really.

Diversity

The format is quite diverse.

Sams
Fish
KMP
Gravekeepers
Chaos Plants
Dragunity
Deck Destruction

All of this made top sixteen. So you know eat it people who complain about things all the time.
Yes though top 4:
Sams
Fish
Gravekeepers
Deck Destruction

Seems fine. Sams won. Versus Fish, so you know it's cool.

Overall the YCS was ok. Coverage was nicer. Everybody got a tag (Some were really bad)

Nothing else to say.

I might have a contest soon.

Donations to help Japan

Just wanted to take a minute to offer my sympathies and concern in this moment of great tragedy.

Japan has suffered a great deal of damaged, deaths are in the thousands, and now they are facing a series of unstable nuclear reactors.

With a crisis that seems to only be worsening, I hope we can all treasure what we have, and offer the help we're able to.

Link to Red Cross donations:
Red Cross

Dandylion

Is nice at one.

As a plant lover I will admit I enjoyed having it at two, but with triple Debris and the BRD's it was a bit crazy.

Yes though I'm more or less using Dandylions limit to show that I really like this banlist.

My Yu-Gi-Oh Spending March!

Well as this is quite the expensive game I've decided I'll be doing a product and spending breakdown. More or less I'll be breaking down what's worth getting in sets and products, and then letting you all know if you should buy it, or just go for singles. (Keep in mind shipping will affect price, and that you may find higher or lower prices yourself)

First March: Two products:
Structure Deck Dragunity Legion $9.99
Right off this deck comes with five new cards. Dragunity Arma Leyvaten , Dragunity Aklys, and Dragon Ravine are all played in the deck. It also comes with reprints of Dux, Legionnaire, United We stand, and once again Mirror Force. It is crucial to note that the deck lack Dragunity Phalanx, and Dragunity Knight Vajrayana. Both which run anywhere from $10-$20. As far as the pricing of the new cards and any desireable commons the deck has, they all run around $1-$3.
Price Break down: SDDL x3: 32.07 (With .7 tax)
New cards and commons: $20-$25 (Varies on if you have the the HA originals)
Dragunity Phalanx x3: $48.30 (at 16.1 after tax)
Dragunity Knight Vajrayana x2-3: $27.74-$41.62 (at 13.87 after 7.1 tax)
Total Price(3 structures, phalanx, and knights[3]): $121.99
Total Price(Singles, phalanx, and knight[3]): $114.92
Final opinion if you want to play the deck it'll be about a hundred dollars either way, so in the end your better of buying the triple structures so that you get a few decent commons for trade or use. (Mirror Force)

Storm of Ragnarok Special Edition $9.99
Promos are Hand if of the Six, and Light and Darkness Dragon. This is mostly a question of what you want out of the set, if it's a few jank supers, and rares, or you need the promos, then sure get a few. Other than that it'll always be cheaper to buy singles.

Next time: April!

Dragon Ravine....

Is balanced!

It's either a one for one search, or a minus one GY pitch.

Seriously though it's a great file spell, but Dragunity is just kind of a crappy deck. Give it a couple good exclusives, and maybe it'll be worthwhile. Then again at that point it would be more the exclusives than the field spell.

Yes though Dragunity is settling at tier two it seems.

Generic guys.

All of these monsters...

No longer have effect priority:
Ally of Justice Decisive Armor
Ancient Fairy Dragon
Armory Arm
Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind
Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn
Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
Card Trooper
Chaos Sorcerer
Dark Armed Dragon
Dark End Dragon

Gravekeeper's Descendant
Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
Hand of the Six Samurai
Hundred-Eyes Dragon
Infernity Mirage
Infernity Doom Dragon

Junk Archer
Karakuri Shogun mdl 00 Burei
Legendary Six Samurai - Mizuho
Lonefire Blossom

Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon
Scrap Golem
Scrap Dragon
Scrap Twin Dragon
Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth
Test Tiger
Worm King
Worm Queen
Worm Zero
XX-Saber Faultroll
XX-Saber Gottoms

So new ruling change more or less sets all of these guys and others at the speed of normal spells.

This of course means your opponent can respond to them before you can trigger their effects.

Naturally Stardust, Monarchs, Gadgets, and I believe Blizzard The Far North still can use their effects.

Yes, though new OCG ruling meant to balance the game. Gone are the days of the priority field nuke. No idea if TCG will get it. We should with the new structure.

Overall I like this, helps explain some of the banlist choices. BOM would of been super sexy.

Banlist thoughts...

Forbidden:
Goyo Guardian
Cold Wave
Mass Driver

R.I.P. Goyo- Seems he was limited due to Exceeds, yet I can't think it would of been that big of a deal. Oh well easy to summon, 2800, monster thief; Goyo was tops, and it was only a question of time till they put him to the bottom.

Cold Wave- In the words of Nikolai "About fucking time!"
Yes, though Cold Wave went from a bad card, to a decent card, to a good card, to the sexiest OTK tool around, then a one hit OTK pusher, to dead.

Mass Driver: Eh, OTK tool.

Limited:
Honest
Dandylion
Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow
Book of Moon
Gateway of the Six

Honest/ Kalut: Cripples Blackwing, and Fairies, also hits hero beats, ect. Mostly this says goodbye to battle tricks.

Dandylion: Plant Synchro we hardly knew ye... Seriously though Dandy to one limits the deck, but not too much. Eh, I think Lonefire should have taken the hit, but you know.

Book of Moon: Wow, wowey, wow, wow wow, this is big. Now instead of running three as an auto include people will have to find other cards that help their decks and all that jazz. Yes though this is probably the change with the biggest effect on the game.

Gateway of The Six: So glad I didn't waste time and money on three. Then again the hit was obvious-so to everyone with two pages of these they were hoping to hoard and sell at a high price "Ha Ha!"

Semi-Limited
Card Trooper
Archlord Kristya
Spirit Reaper
Debris Dragon
Royal Tribute
Overload Fusion
Megamorph
Solemn Warning
Icarus Attack

Card Trooper: No Troop-Dupe-Scoop but now it might see play. Not much to say other than it seems to be an experimental move on Konami's part.

Kristya: Most decks run two. I enjoy how ineffective this was.

Spirit Reaper: Is it still good? Will it see play? Does Debris into Spirit of The Pharaoh into BRD into this equal a pro play?! Who knows. I'm not concerned.

Debris Dragon: A sad day this day that he hits the list. Oh well, puts a gimp on Plant Synchro and just his general ability to pull horrible amounts of dragons out of little to nothing.

Royal Tribute: "Hey, lets make Gravekeepers slightly less luck sacky." "O-tay!"

Overload Fusion: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, lets see if this has any effect. Machines are fairly self limiting due to Chimeratech Fortress Dragon and System Down.

Megamorph: Oh yes: Oh Yes: Giant Trunade: Summon Power Pool Dragon search, Megamorph, One for One pitch XXX summon Flamvell Baby (LOL), Synchro Summon L.S.D. (Life Stream Dragon), set life points to 4000, Monster Reborn Power Tool Dragon, Search Megamorph number two, equip them both to L.S.D., kill your monster with Power Tool Dragon, Swing for game! Ha ha, that was both unrealistic and unnecessary.

Solemn Warning: Seems right, yet wrong. Less consistent, but still prevalent.

Icarus Attack: Spam something else please? Really though like five decks spam this, BW was topping in Japan, it was going to happen. Two isn't that bad of a shift either.

Unlimited:
Chaos Sorcerer- Whoo, he may breed light/dark hybrids that spam and swing.
Demise, King of Armageddon- OTK, other than that no one cares.
Snipe Hunter- Fabled maybe.
Dewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier- Eh.
Gold Sarcophagus- Still not worth it: super slow. Some decks may find use depending on formats speed.
Skill Drain- Never should of been hit to begin with.
Ultimate Offering- Eh. Lets OTK and things, Eh.

Overall I like this list. Hurt all the dominant decks, and left some space open for new ones. And unlike what some people think this list didn't wreck the game.

Lol-what?

Beat Six Sam with...

Yes ATK reduction, and awesome field control due to Kid, Triangle, Planetary Pollutant Virus, and the rest worked great.

So there is that.

Well new music to the left.

No idea if anyone reads my blog, but I'm hoping to have something at least every other day.

So keep reading, keep listening, and look ahead.

Ace-out.

So I got a decent hunk of Nordic stuff my deck needs. The Vanadis were my real favorite of the day. More so since people valued them at forty a piece(crazy).

Also topped locals two weeks, once with Scrap, and another with Infernity, as I said before list will be posted.

Six Samurai is pretty Op. Yet not so Op that I think it wil get smashed by the banlist. I can't imagine them losing more than two cards. I'm waiting for YCS Dallas to make my final deliberations.

Oh, also in hilarity, I saw people selling Doppel Warriors for $15, which was awesome.

Play guide.

So Hidden Arsenal 3 gave us this guy...



















Sorry I meant they gave us this guy...


So play guide:
Dasher, or Malicious + Controller= Locomotion R-Genex.
Undine sends either Treeborn or Fishborg Blaster to search Controller.
Treeborn and Fishborg make Formula Synchron which adds speed and can be used as both tribute and synchro material.
Armageddon Knight throws either Dasher or Malicious for summon or synchro shenanigans. He also tosses Plague in the grave.
Tragoedia covers all the bases, battle, snatching, synchro, and the like.
Stratos does what Stratos does.

Book of Moon is obvious.
POA recycles dashers, and synchros, plus anything else you want back.
Foolish and One for One set up combos.
Reasoning allows for either a free monster or something in grave.

Wind Blast offers grave dumping and field control.

That explains most of it. Questions, comments concerns in the comments please.

Banned list...

I take no guess.

Really though march should be awesome.

Predictions soon.

Also scrap build took first at locals.

Also I've decided four boxes of STOR is a good start. Also one box of the Duelist Pack Yusei 3 for rare effect veilers seems wise.

STOR Special Edition...

Light And Darkness Dragon and Hand of The Six Samurai.

Curiouser and curiouser.

So this implies a few possibilities:
1: Konami thinks dragunity will feature lots of LADD and that a reprint was necessary.
2: They also think Hand was in need of a reprint, even though it still only runs around $5, and Samurai tend to only run one or two.
3. Gateway may be hit, lack of it due to the fact that the need to get a single one wouldn't boost sales.
4. Dragon support may be coming and Ladd will see play?
5. Drug, they're on drugs.

Well that's what I got. Good set, decent promos, overall: sweet.

Six Samurai....

Just a little post of the current support I feel will still be good/relevant, and the new stuff that should see play.

Current:
Hand
Grandmaster
Gateway
United
Double Edge Sword Technique

New:
Kagemusha of the Six Samurai
2 stars
400/1800
A two star tuner that lets you switch targeting card effects to itself and start a chain of monster drops with it's normal summon. Definitely worth looking into, my glancing at Japanese list has it run at three; although I feel the American metagame would lend to it being better played at one or two.

Legendary Six Samurai - Kageki
3 stars
200 ATk, 2000 Def
When normal summoned He lets you drop another four or lower samurai, and when you control another He gains 1500. The first effects lets you either entrench your field, or pull out a Legendary Six Samurai - Shien. He should be run at three across the board.

Legendary Six Samurai - Enishi
4 stars
1700/700
Lets you remove two samurai from the grave to bounce a monster back to hand. He also gains 500 when you control, two others. With a once per turn limit, and other samurai doing it better, he really isn't mainboard material. Side deck though, he might see play in some side decks.

Legendary Six Samurai - Kizan
4 stars
1800/500
The little Grandmaster. Control another Samurai and you can special summon him. Control two or more and he gains 300 atk and def. Awesome, sex on a futon, run three. He's the one that started the hype.

Legendary Six Samurai - Shien
5 stars
2500/1400
1 Warrior Tuner and a non tuner Six Sam
Easy to pull out and once per turn he can stop a Spell/Trap. Cool! He's a stinkro, so you run them anyways. Good though, real good. Anyone notice five stars are better than seven?

Residence of the Six
Field Spell
Like Gateway it gains Bushido Counters, and can be used to pay for its effects. With each normal or Special summoned Samurai it gets one counter. It also makes your opponents monsters lose 100 for each counter on it. Fun. Not good as it's a field spell, but fun. Some builds might try it, I know I am.

Shien's Smoke Signal
Spell
ROTA for three or lower Six Samurai. Need I say more? Yes? Too bad. Run two if you don't think you need three. Otherwise you know, run three.

Magatama of Musakani
Counter Trap
Activate only if you control a face-up "Six Samurai" monster. Negate the activation of an opponent's Spell Card, Trap Card or Effect Monster's effect that would destroy a card(s), and destroy it.

Take that Ryko, BRD, Dark Hole, Torrential, Mirror Force, Icarus Attack, Junk Destroyer, ect, ect, ect. Easy to use, many to defuse. Two would be wise, thee if you want more consistency. Really though it's good. Like a non crappy pollinosis, but different.

Shooting Star Dragon

Every time I see it's picture I start hearing that swan lake tune in my head.

Just wanted to let you all know and ask; what cards make tunes pop into your noggins?
