5 Reasons Why Six Samurai Won (YCS Mexico)

2012-02-06T08:03:00.000-08:00

There was much hype surrounding what would win.

Inzektors, Wind-Ups or Dino Rabbit

it seemed to be a fair assumption because Inzektor/Wind-Up are heavily supported and Rabbit... is just Rabbit...

Inzektors really need 10 monsters, and the rest of the deck is filler.

3 Inzektor Dragonfly
3 Inzektor Centipede
3 Inzektor Hornet
1 Inzektor Giga-Mantis

fill in the rest

Wind-Ups have that "loop" that takes away your hand in 1 turn.

SO that automatically made them a contender because hand disruption is very important in the game.

And Rabbit, has Tour Guide (yes that's my reasoning)

But as history has shown in the past, there is ALWAYS room for an upset.

Six Samurai won the whole thing.

These are the 5 possible reasons why Six Samurai won.

1. They can drop Naturia Beast AND Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En first turn.

It's not as annoying as DOUBLE Shi En, but nevertheless

They just HAPPEN to NEGATE Inzektor Hornet. because it's a equip card

The effect to send Hornet to the Graveyard is a cost.

(I don't know how true this is but if in fact this is true, NO wonder it won)

And if this is true, what the hell were they smoking??

If Hornet is considered a "Equip Spell" while in the S/T Zone (Naturally), then how is it possible for Hornet to be NEGATED by Naturia Beast/Shi En?

Beast & Shi En only negate ACTIVATIONS of cards, not card effects.

Hornet is sending itself to the Graveyard, which would be a effect of a Equip Spell, right?

How would it be negated?

um... because it can't?

At least that's my logic.

2. They have Magatama.

It negates opposing Solemn Warning, Judgment, Inzektor Hornet, Dark Hole, Torrential Tribute, Bottomless Trap Hole, even Evolzar Laggia/Dolkka. It only got better as time went on.

Regardless of their "nerf" Samurai are STILL good because they are STILL fast.

3. They STILL have Shien's Dojo and Asceticism of the Six Samurai

Which is the basis of Six Samurai decks nowadays. (but it works WONDERS with Mizuho/Shinai)

Just keep in mind, recent YCS has been upsets because they haven't expected them.

4. They can play Maxx "C" too?

Hello?

Just because it's Six Samurai doesn't mean they're omitted from playing it.

We don't know the exact decklist but it's pretty safe to say by using the draw power from Maxx "C" would be a good idea, especially from a field of Wind-Ups. It would be impossible for a player to drop their hand with a Maxx "C" active and in addition to the other card draw in the deck (Six Samurai United).

5. Fiendish Chain... DUH

As mentioned in #4, we are not sure of the decklist but I'm pretty certain that Six Samurai could run this too.

This doesn't warrant the price tag whatsoever, but it does definately help out, especially when you're drawing those extra cards.

So in addition to their inherent annoyance, using cards like Maxx "C", Fiendish Chain; it's not really surprising. Six Samurai are typically the faster deck, which is faster when you factor in these 5 reasons.

You don't have to agree with these reasons, but I think they are quite obvious.

Inzektor Tech: Wild Tornado

2012-02-05T16:08:00.000-08:00

Select 1 face-up card in the Spell & Trap Card Zones and destroy it. The controller of the destroyed card can then Set 1 Spell or Trap Card from their hand. If this Set card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, select and destroy 1 face-up card on the field.

Its a reverse Dust Tornado of sorts. You can ONLY destroy a face-up S/T. THEN the controller of the destroyed card , can set another S/T (like Dust Tornado)

Its second effect is cute and hard to get past.

If it's set and destroyed, you get to (the controller of this card) destroy a face-up card on the field.

This is a great side deck option for inzektors.

Why?

Inzektors WANT something to destroy. Although most people won't set another card (because you can't activate the card you set till the next turn) but if there's something on the field you can't directly destroy without opposition, just set Wild Tornado, and do your normal Inzektor crap, blow up the Wild Tornado.

Wild Tornado (the card) isn't activating, the EFFECT of it is.

This bypasses alot of cards that only negate activations.

Don't try it against Stardust Dragon, because Stardust Dragon can negate it.

A Random YGO Meme (1)

2012-01-30T16:56:00.000-08:00

"2 Chainz" is a rapper, right.

So in typical YGO conversation, I had said something about 2 chains (as in Fiendish Chains)

So I came up with this simple picture...

http://www.fakeposters.com/posters/2012/01/31/qpoj2ptg5u/

It seemed funny to me...

Shard of Greed is "kinda" good.

2012-01-21T20:30:00.000-08:00

About a month ago, I reviewed Shard of Greed and I stated in that review that I would test it.

The blog post to the "review" (to those who care)

http://decsilentenigmayt.blogspot.com/2011/12/shard-of-greed.html

I've been playing GB and "perfecting" it for about a month now and even though my opinions haven't changed much since the "review", the card is GOOD.

Perhaps I'm biased due to the fact I'm borrowing the Shards from someone, so I didn't have to put forth the effort in acquiring them.

Players in general (me included) fixate on a face-up card. Because the game of YGO is mostly about setting cards (keeping your opponent in suspense). Shard of Greed creates a game state where in two turns after you activate it, you will be ahead of your opponent as far as cards are concerned.

It's surprising how often Shard will go off because people refuse to MST it. But people will destroy it if they don't want you to have advantage over them.

Similar to Thunder King being ran to prevent your opponents from "adding" cards to hand (e.g. Pot of Duality, Reinforcement of the Army, etc)

Those that are smart usually go for the F/D card rather than the obvious Shard because the threat isn't really Shard of Greed itself, it's the cards you DRAW from it.

Since Pot of Greed is banned, and Shard is the "closest" thing to it, people will assume it fits in every deck.

This is WRONG.

I play it in GB's, and as much as I like the card, it is WAY to slow.

Since I've started playing in tourneys, Almost every game 2, I've sided all THREE Shards, because the card will probably get destroyed before its useful.

AT the very least, you KNOW the first thing you side out.

HOWEVER: in control mirrors, it shines for one simple reason. because it gives you MORE cards than your opponent. And even if it gets destroyed, your opponent had to waste one of their valuable cards (because almost every card in a control deck is important) on it. It threatens to give you advantage, and if your opponent has a way to prevent that, they will.

I'm only speaking from experience.

Your individual results will vary.

Dueling Network with...Dragunity (thoughts)

2012-01-07T08:30:00.000-08:00

So as some of you know, I played with Dragunities for the first time. I've said how much I think they suck, that was a opinion not backed by proof.

Now that the week is done and the final video has been uploaded. Here's what I think...

I STILL don't like Dragunity.

Everything that I've said "bashing" them was correct for the most part and the only thing that came from playing them was more experience.

However; I do understand why people play it.

It's a simple deck that does simple things.

Legionairre +Aklys = destroy 2 cards
Dux + Phalanx = Vajrayana + Phalanx = LV 8 synchro

I LOVE Vajrayana equipping Aklys then using its effect to blow up a card and double it's attack.

That is AWESOME!

I understand the reasoning behind Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite, and I will say I've never had a problem with drawing two. Why'd you run two when you could only activate ONE?

Its to increase the chances to draw it to discard or Ravine, which happened more than I expected.

The deck actually isn't bad this format, I'm pretty sure they'd beat the FIRRREEE out of inzektors.

White Dragon Ninja

2012-01-04T20:59:00.000-08:00

Remember Dragonic Attack?

Now look at this...

Looks similar... doesn't it?

That's the newest "Ninja", that happens to be a Dragon.

Cannot be Special Summoned, except with a "Ninjitsu Art" card's effect. Spell/Trap Cards you control cannot be destroyed by card effects.

I don't like it.

I mean...

You COULD Tribute summon it but doing that would be the equivilant to your ex GF gripping your testicles (believe me, you're better off going without).

Basically the only decent way to summon this is from the deck (if you don't draw it) is from this card.

I personally think this card is flat out NUTS, but that's not the topic of the review.

White Dragon Ninja protects your S/T from being destroyed, a "new" effect in YGO. Unfortunately, it's not splash-able. I guess if it were, it would get a e-ban ASAP. But by making it exclusive to "Ninja" (keep in mind, you can still Normal Summon it) it's effect is kept at bay.

So it protects your backrow, but not itself (guess, that would have been "broken").

"It provides you with the condom, but it doesn't protect your buttcheeks."

Not to lengthen this review longer than it has to be, to be blunt. I don't like it, because you have to use Super Transformation for it to be somewhat decent. But what if you draw it? You can't even Reborn/Call it back, you MUST use Super Trasformation (currently) which SUCKS.

Perhaps it could be better, if there were more Ninjitsu Arts that summoned stuff, but even still, I doubt Ninjas will even run it. Don't waste your time trying to get the card (unless you're collecting it), its gonna be that card you regret pulling cause you'll never get rid of it.

Just run Galaxy Eyes, it's so much better for your cause.

Shard of Greed

2011-12-29T09:24:00.000-08:00

Each time you draw a card(s) for your normal draw in your Draw Phase, place 1 Greed Counter on this card. You can send this card with 2 or more Greed Counters to the Graveyard; draw 2 cards.

At first glance, I thought "This card is slow as FUCK.

And I'd be correct, but hear me out.

The card is slow, but that's not something I have to point out.

It's a Continuous Spell, so it's subject to "snail pace" but that doesn't make it bad.

"what about MST/Heavy Storm?"

We've had this issue with EVERY S/T we set or stays on the field, so stop saying shit we already deal with.

Now given, you don't its effect immediately. you have to WAIT 2 turns after.

Assuming it stays around, you will effectively have drawn 3 extra cards, further digging in your deck for "answers".

It's not for every deck though.

It's suggested for Anti-Meta, cause you know, Anti-Meta is slow as FUCK.

And "Slow" decks don't have a way to generate cards. It's either you draw the "nuts" or get nutted on.

(hmm, that looks much different typed out than how it seemed in my head, oh well)

Shard of Greed shouldn't be a target for MST however; the possibility is there and some will do it just because they know it's there.

It's very rare that a person, negates Destiny Draw or Allure of Darkness. You could say the same thing for SoG, but it stays on the field.

But if a person is stupid enough to destroy ONE SoG, that's one less MST/etc you have to worry about.

EXTRA: I'm going to test THREE SoG in GB, since Duality tends to slow me down ALOT. Even with as little monsters I run. I figured it's worth a try, since it's "meant" for slower decks, and GBs are slow and shit, at least me version.

(There will be a video about that)

That Dragon Structure Deck.

2011-12-26T17:11:00.000-08:00

I talked about how Eclipse Wyvern is retarded and the fact it doesn't miss its timing is very good.

It just doesnt do enough.

Even though I objectify female Yugitubers on a regular in my videos.

Amanda LaPalme (aka DragonDuelistGirl) makes a very good point, not one that I didn't know already but besides that.

In short, she explains that the structure doesn't do enough, and I agree with that. It's not a deck (like DW or Agents) that basically makes themselves. You may have to get a few cards here and there, but the skeleton was already there in the box.

This Structure Deck has failed (again) to make Dragons "Tier 1". I think you wanting a deck the be Tier 1 is a bad idea. Because if it did, you'd see it everywhere. And you may lose interest based on the number of people playing the deck because it's "good". Then you'll be back at Square 1, wondering "why the FUCK did I want them to be Tier 1 in the FIRST place?"

The "Tier" System is subjective. Just my opinion though.

The structure deck gives dragon users (such as DDG) more shit to work with, but so what? Other than Dragonic Tactics and Red-Eyes Darkness Metal, Totem/Masked Dragon There is no "generic" support with dragons that allows them to do "anything".

You almost always have to throw some other shit in dragons to make them "playable". And using Future Fusion is basically the ONLY good interaction they have.

It's sad that it took for a mis-translation for Light Pulsar Dragon for Dragons to get ANY sort of attention. Konami keeps throwing out these dragons, that are usually good but they're not "good" together.

You get Common LS in there.

But it's a FUCKING DRAGON STRUCTURE DECK!

Why are there ANY other monsters besides Dragons in a DRAGON structure deck.

If you make a Dragon based Structure deck, just make one, with ALL DRAGONS?

Now, I'm glad that Lyla is getting reprinted common and all but for the sake of the structure deck. It's bullshit.

You get Darkflare, which is decent (however; I don't like you have to send from BOTH your hand AND deck to banish ONE car) It shouldn't be a problem with Eclipse Wyvern, right?

But all you're doing is wasting cards you're better off having in your hand,

I actually tested... I'm lying, I WATCHED while "Fat" Tony was testing it and while Darkflare/Eclipse Wyvern is pretty damn good. You're wasting too many cards to do very little.

And by little, I mean nothing.

So in conclusion (because I've run out of things to say).

Amanda could get it in her mouth (by "it", I mean my dick)

But that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

Tour Bus From the Underworld

2011-12-26T12:45:00.000-08:00

I'm not trying to give you information that you already know.

I'm just expressing my opinion on it

When this card is sent to the Graveyard: Target 1 monster in either player’s Graveyard, except "Tour Bus From the Underworld";shuffle that target into the Deck.

Well, it doesn't special summon.

But...

What it does do is make your Tour Guides (and other shit) not as useless.

I really don't know what I would have wanted it to do, I just want TGU to become cheaper.

Fortunately, This card isn't BROKEN, but it is very busted.

As long as it's sent to the GY, you can return ANY monster, from ANY graveyard (Eff, Synchro, Fusion, Xyz) and send it to the deck.

You can SLOWLY slow (seewhatididthere) your opponent down by sending something back to their deck, but I'm sure that is NOT what the card's effect will be used for. You can get your used tengus, you can even get Sangan back to be searched AGAIN with TGU.

TGU is not as redundant as it used to be. You have another target that's splashable in every deck that runs Tour Guide already.

I'm aware I'm not covering everything and I don't care. This is just a impression of the card,

I'm probably never gonna run it (because I don't have Tour Guides) so until that time comes, I'll just wait for TGU to get reprinted.

I however believe it's utter bullshit if it's secret, but it would hideous any other rarity...

Maxx "C" should get limited.

2011-12-20T10:28:00.000-08:00

I say "should" because I'm not anal about it getting hit.

Maxx "C" was a card that was overlooked (seems quite convenient that Konami would make SECRET TCG Exclusives that are first overlooked, then end up being used in damn near every competitive deck)

Yes, Tour Guide, I'm talking to you.

But TGU isn't as bad as Maxx "C"

Here's why.

Maxx "C" is one of those cards that "looks" harmless AT FIRST.

"You can activate this effect during either player's turn by sendingthis 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."

And then you think about how many decks special summon.

Typical Special Summoning Strings

Agents: Shine ball x3, Gachi Gachi Gentetsu, Master Hyperion

"Plants": Summon Tengu, One for One (discarding Dandylion) Glow-Up Bulb or Spore, Tengu Sp Summoned (Tokens summoned) Which means Hyper Librarian THEN Formula Synchron.

Even Rabbit: Tour Guide, Leviair, Rabbit, Laggia/Dolkka

Special summoning used to be something that you couldn't really punish. Oppression is banned and Warning/Judgment only do so much.

Maxx "C" doesn't negate shit but it acts as a deterrent now a days.

Its ridiculous how easy it is to gain so much card advantage from ONE card.

ONE card indirectly punishes the format.

Either you keep special summoning, allowing them to draw, or you don't setting you back a turn.

Most games can be won off of card advantage alone. Maxx "C" does it in one turn.

And you wonder why it's 60 bucks? because it wins games by itself.

On another note, I don't TGU should be as much as it is. Even with Tour Bus around the corner, It doesn't "win" you the game.

Sure it searches your Sangan, that will more than likely search for MAXX "C", and it's a one card Xyz, but that's all it does. It's good obviously, just not worth 100+.

The Great White Hype (Rescue Rabbit)

2011-12-19T11:19:00.000-08:00

RR is white, hence the post title.

Rescue Rabbit was RUMORED to be big shit.

Guess people don't really like Rabbit as you thought they would have.

Take it from this guy...

He might have placed well in that regional but even he said

"Drawing Normal Monsters SUCKS!"
And it's never the 1900 one, it's Kabazauls

*okay, not exactly in those words but you get what I'm saying*

I mentioned this when I talked about Rabbit BEFORE it was released to the TCG.

I'm not gonna link you to that vid but this was the gist of what was said.

Rescue Rabbit has few weaknesses.

The typical Rabbit deck runs 6 Normal monsters (3 Kabazauls & 3 Sabersarus)
If you DON'T draw any normals, you have a maximum of using RR 2 times.
If you Sarc /Tour Guide = Leviair. By only using 1 Rabbit, you've created another dead card in your deck.
If you draw at least 2 of the same Normal, you're screwed.

Pot of Avarice is ONLY @ 1, so don't get your hopes up.

I think the "deck" itself is it's own weakness. The deck does only ONE thing.

You can tell when a deck doesn't deliever by how the cards dropped in price.

Evolzar Laggia has DROPPED to around $25 and Dolkka is a bit more.
Rabbit is only arounf 60 now.

Remember when the Sneak Preview of Photon Shockwave happened.

How much were people valuing them at?
Rabbit: 100+
Laggia: 50+
Dolkka 50+

Damn Shame isn't it.

No matter how much "tech" you put in a "Rabbit" deck, you still have the problem with drawing any of your normals.

This wouldn't be a problem if you were using a predominately Normal Monster deck. But people didn't bother to try that out. They piggy backed off of the OCG.

Just keep in mind, if you look on Shriek now, you rarely see Rabbit decks now a days.

It was a trend but I think it's a little played out.

Saddest part about it is, it hasn't even been 3 months

Eclipse Wyvern Shenanigans

2011-11-23T20:03:00.001-08:00

It's quite obvious that the "new" dragon decks - post Dragonic Legion will be based on Eclipse Dragon.

"If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can banish 1 Level 7 or higher LIGHT or DARK Dragon-Type monster in your Deck. Then, if this card in the Graveyard is banished: You can add the monster banished by this effect to your hand."

"If" prevents it from missing its timing, right?

This is only some of the nonsense that can occur with Eclipse Wyvern

#1: Being Detached as Xyz material.

e.g. Lavalval Chain.

Lavalval Chain (send Eclipse Wyvern)

Eclipse Wyvern being Detached as Xyz material.

#winning

#2: Dragon Ravine

Discarding Eclipse Wyvern for Ravine allows you to send Wyvern to the GY.

Sending Eclipse Wyvern to GY.

Eclipse Wyvern discarded for Dragon Ravine's cost

#3: Future Fusion/Dragons Mirror

Sending 3 Eclipse Wyvern with Future Fusion.

Using Dragons Mirror to banish those three.

PLUS bajillion?

#4 Darkflare Dragon

Send 2 Wyvern (from hand & deck) to the grave, THEN you remove one.

Effectively getting back the card you discarded for Darkflare Dragon's effect.

Removing Eclipse Wyvern to summon Darkflare should also gets its effect.

This way, if you banished a Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon,

You already have a dragon on the field to banish.

I'm A Horny Beast (Testin' S***)

2011-11-18T20:41:00.001-08:00

I'm not sure if it will stay this way but this change was inspired by a viewer.

+3 Beast King Barbaros
+ 2 Dark Bribe
+1 Compulsory Evacuation Device

-3 Photon Saber Tiger
-1 Starlight Road
-1 Forbidden Lance
-1 Smashing Ground

Taking away Saber Tiger took away the uniqueness that the deck held, but it made the deck better.

As mentioned the comment this suggestion came from, Starlight Road can be warning'd, and not running Bribe forces you to (effectively) TAKE THE DICK!

Dark Bribe stops this from happening, for them to stop the Bribe, they have to either have their OWN Bribe, 7 Tools (but no one runs that) and of course Solemn Judgment.

You're really worried about Heavy Storm over anything. Since Stardust Dragon does get summoned by Road, you have a "free" condom.

Barbaros is RETARDED, It's LIEK the BEST top deck with Skill Drain active. 1900 ATK. I'll admit, I'd rather top deck this before Saber Tiger any day.

DN: dpisawesome

2011-11-16T20:59:00.001-08:00

If you didn't know (which you should) I am on DN but NOT under my YT name.

I guess it would've been easier for you all to identify but I naturally used "dpisawesome" before "decsilentenigma".

Go on and add me as a friend and mesg me if I'm on. Don't be offended if I don't respond however; I'm usually recording duels for commentary or making a deck or something so its rare for me to want to "duel" anyone. But I do.

I guess its more of a gamble than anything, but I'm sure y'all deal with it.

See you on DN I guess?

I'm A Horny Beast

2011-11-16T09:57:00.001-08:00

That was NOT the name I gave the deck, but it fits.

After the blunder that was T.G Psychics, I did a video which gave y'all a chance to provide your input on what I should play next.

Not to say I didnt pay attention to your suggestions, there were WAY too many. But the inspiration for this deck came from MegaCapitalG (this is NOT a shoutout, well, I guess it is)

Its something you've seen before, and with his deck, I basically stole the core of his build and made it so I could incorporate Photon Saber Tiger.

You will see alot of matches with this deck because I've already recorded them.

But here's the decklist so far.

I'm A Horny Beast (T.G. Drain)

3 Reborn Tengu

3 Photon Sabre Tiger

3 T.G. Rush Rhino

2 T.G Warwolf

2 T.G. Striker

2 Thunder King Rai-Oh

3 Pot of Duality

1 Forbidden Lance (May be coming out for a THIRD Dimensional Prison)

3 Smashing Ground

1 Dark Hole

1 Book of Moon

3 Horn of the Phantom Beast

2 Dimensional Prison

2 Skill Drain

2 Bottomless Trap Hole

2 Solemn Warning

2 Starlight Road

1 Solemn Judgment

1 Torrential Tribute

1 Mirror Force

Photon Sabre Tiger loses 800 if you dont' control another. It wouldn't have been fair if you were able to search for 2000 beatsticks without a drawback. its becomes 2000 with horn, 2800 if another one is out. It searches for itself which is good in thinning your deck. Putting pressure on your opponent. Either they have to get rid of the first tiger, or they will facing 2 2000 monsters that will game them in a matter of a few turns. Having Skill Drain out bypasses having out another but y'all probably already knew that.

Forbidden Lance (probably coming out).

Most of the time, its a expensive shrink (I bought 2 of these 2 months ago) and I've always wanted to use it in a deck. It saves ONE of your monsters from various mess, from Dimensional Prison to Smashing Ground. I have shrunk opponent monsters to beat them up, but that required proper timing. Smashing Ground is typically better because you can use it immediately and it makes way from my monsters to beat the FIIIRRREEEEEE out of my opponent. They may end up in the side deck though because they do work great against other anti-meta builds.

TRIPLE Smashing Ground?

Shouldn't be too hard to understand. 1 for 1 removal is quite good, especially when you're able to push for 4000 on turn two (highly unlikely, but still possible)

Only TWO Warwolf?

I run Sabre Tiger, and I tried 3. It's good saving your ass when your opponent Sp. Summons something and you need to save your cheeks, but drawing 3 is really dead when Tiger is functionally better (since it searches itself.

I wasn't gonna use T.G Striker in the original build...

That obviously changed.

You don't have to synchro summon but there are times where you may need to get a S/T off the field. (Such as Royal Decree) So having Striker lets me summon Wonder Magician. You can summon other stuff like Magical Android but that time doesn't come up very often.

Thats basically it. You'll see duels with this deck on my channel and the Deck Profile on Robbie Kohls channel AFTER YCS KC (That version was the original and his fat ass takes forever to upload a nigga's video)

Aquafina 5 - Warwolf

2011-10-31T12:00:00.000-07:00

It's no lie that you can put T.G basically in EVERY deck.

But it's actually really good in A5.

Summon Diva (get Lost Blue Breaker), then summon T.G. Warwolf.

From this, you can tribute LBB to destroy a back card and you can either make T.G. Wonder Magician (or whatever LV5).

Or just make a LV8 Synchro If you're feelin' fancy.

What makes is better is now you have Blue Breaker in grave to be revived with Surface.

Aquafina 5: Rescue Rabbit

2011-10-30T19:20:00.001-07:00

I've come to the conclusion after much deliberation that I will, in fact will procure Rescue Rabbit. Not because of Raiga/Dolkka (exactly) but because I want to use them in A5.

Rabbit is retarded, just because of Raiga but I've made a decision that I won't automatically throw in Kabazauls/Sabersarus in A5 without testing other options first.

Rabbit will be a problem and may possibly get limited. Being aware of this possibility will prevent the "tightness" I suffered with the story of Emergency Teleport.

But if I have to buy Rabbit, I will. Its a good thing I manage my monies...

T.G. Psychics "Squidward" (quick change)

2011-10-30T17:03:00.001-07:00

-1 Rush Rhino
+1 Hushed Psychic Cleric

Rush rhino may be the beatstick to get over TKR but I don't think I need a main deck solution. By running Rush Rhino, that gives yet another monster that doesn't help the overall goal of the deck.

Since I added a third Esper Girl, I'm thinking that maybe I need anoher cleric because now, I find myself having Esper Girl in hand but no way to send it to the GY. I thought 2 was enough but I guess I was wrong...

T.G. Psychics (quick changes are quick)

2011-10-26T18:52:00.001-07:00

-1 Glow-Up Bulb
-1 Psychic Commander
-1 Overdrive Teleporter

+1 T.G. Rush Rhino
+2 Tragoedia

2nd Rush Rhino mainly to kill off TKR, cause he loves to eat T.G. for brunch. Most people either main or side it so I like to have a main deck answer to it. I'm not entirely sure if 2 is too many but I do find sometimes I draw these over striker, when I NEED striker; but also, its good to have a main deck answer to 1900 monsters. I'm not really confortable with 1 either, just cause it seems random. I think striker & warwolf are enough T.G. but its something I'd further explore. (I may try another Esper Girl, to increase my chances of drawing it because I've had that problem too.)

Tragoedia is one of my favorite monsters. I typically like "cute" monsters BUT Trag is one of the very few monsters I like due to its effects. It rewards conservative play by giving you a big beater. Tragoedia can win games on its own. Its also versatile by aiding Synchro/Xyz summoning. Not to mention taking your opponents monsters for more nonsense. I don't have any specific reason for it being a favorite. I just like how flexible it is.
The reason I put it in here is due to the advantage you gain from Esper Girl. Most of your Synchro summons are "free" becase of her and Psychic Witch is in lesbians with her. Esper Girl is what makes the deck (and the inclusion of Trag) work. Besides preventing OTKs and such, he can also be used WITH Esper Girl to syncho or even Xyz summon.

T.G Psychics (My Issues with the Original Build)

2011-10-25T17:03:00.000-07:00

Let's stop being lazy.

I've been testing that T.G Psychic build I posted previously.

Before I begin with my version, here are some things that I found wrong with it.

1. Overdrive Teleporter

I think OT made the deck suck. Although the deck is made to accomdate it, I found myself drawing the majority of my targets. The targets I didn't draw I searched for using Serene Psychic Witch. Thus making OT useless. I HATE paying 2000 LP for an effect that can possibly get negated. Don't get me wrong, its not hard to have tribute fodder. Just use Esper Girl, summoned from witch. You'd get the card back (which is awesome by the way). It was also the fastest way to summon Hyper Psychic Blaster but I was better off summoning Trishula or even Mist Wurm but that time rarely occured. This may have worked in the event but the OCG and TCG differ as far as which decks are available. OCG already have Rabbit (thus having Raiga). But in a field of such, it makes little sense on how OT ever did anything for the deck.

Very situational.

2. Glow-Up Bulb

Easy LV 8 synchro with Gorz (or the token) but you don't wanna search for it with Sangan. The only decent play I've made with buld is pitching it with Psychic Cleric (but that requires you to have it in hand). I think Foolish Burial was one of the only reasons why it made it into the deck. No Lonefire/Dandylion/Spore alongside it. It just doesn't seem worth running. The 4 plant lineup (as silly as it is), its one of the strongest "engines" in the game for synchro summoning. Running Bulb because it "you can" doesn't mean it "you should".

3. Random Psychic Commander

This was to be summoned with OT, but that's all it was good for. Commander is a very good card, just not for this deck. Most times, its a very horrible set because most things will run it over and not many people want to pay 500LP just to suicide with a Thunder King. And you NEVER wanted to remove this with Witch.

The next problems lie within the extra deck.

1. Psychic Nightmare

It CAN become 3400. And being able to attack twice (via Psychic Snail) in addition to getting a "peek" at a card in your opponnts hand is very good. The problem? It requires ALL Psychics and there are better synchros of its level that are less restrictive and just better (see Brionac, Orient Dragon and even Gaia Knight)

2. Hyper Psychic Blaster

For all this trouble, it should be Thought Ruler Archfiend - Evolved. It should keep what's good about it and make it worth a LV 9. This is NOT worth summoning. Psychic restrictive synchros are typically bad. Just because they may gain you life under some stupid condition doesn't make them worthy, even in a deck that includes OT. Overmind Archfiend is much better than this, mostly because it breaks the Synchro Level/ATK DEF curve.

3. Armory Arm

This will NEVER be summoned without Glow-Up Bulb and since the premature plant is no longer in the deck, there is NO use for it. Its cute that this is a LV4 synchro. Which doesn't give anyone much choice since this is the ONLY LV 4 synchro but you don't need to make this. Another LV 5 Synchro is better off in this slot.

T.G Psychics

2011-10-19T08:03:00.000-07:00

I didn't make this shit myself but I played it like a BAWS.

You can blame shriek for this, I actually like the deck...

Specifically, I like Wonder Magician, Psychic Witch & um... yea I think thats it.

Aquafina 5: The HIt and Run Accident

2011-09-06T07:17:00.000-07:00

I don't normally have many deck concepts that I stick with.

I guess you can say I go though deck ideas, then strippers go though dollar bills

(dollar dollar bill ya'll!)

Anyway, some time ago I talked about some weird Aquafina 5 version with Rescue Rabbit.

It's STILL Aquafina because Diva is in it...

Bad hands, Normal monster got stuck in my hand. Rescue Rabbit being dead after the first activation.
The list goes ON.

Here's another possible variant

It's Anti-Meta
This is a by-product of trying to make Aquafina in the new format.

You know all those shitty fish, sea serpent, Aqua monsters from Generation Force? I only use the less shitty of the bunch. The idea is to take advantage of their hit and run mechanic and since they don't summon themselves, they just return, they get around Vanity's Emptiness.

Vantity's Emptiness + Macro Cosmos = Not going ANYWHERE.

Airorca, Flyfang, Skystarray remove themselves.

Oh and Big Jaws (WHO?)

So I'm applying this to a Anti-meta build that runs Macro Cosmos, And Dimensional Fissure.

Oh and Future Visions. (beats the FIRRRREEEEE out of Offering Gadgets)

I don't really like having to succumb to using a Macro "variant", but they thrive off of not being in the graveyard.

Which is LIEK awesome!!!

NOTE: YES I can sell my playset of surfacing #WINNING

Here's the basic idea. You run basic hate. Starlight Road to protect your set-up. and other crap like Emptiness, D-Fissure, D-Prison, BTH and blah...

It's safe to run Torrential because they will get removed, which is just fine with me. Doing so will allow Leviair and Fish and Swaps to be online faster than America was.

Fish and Swaps has very little use in "bani-fish" variants, but in this version with about 15 monsters (running 3 duality of course) allows you to get back you little beatsticks where your opponent will eventually run out of them due to the Chaos heavy nature of the format. Fish and Swaps functions a bit like Gravekeeper's Stele. I was think maxing out on 3, but that will probably be a bad idea so I'll just leave it at 2.

I have barely any time to test this but, you can feel free to do so. Just let me know how it works...

3 Big Jaws
3 Airorca
3 Flyfang
3 Deep Sea Diva
3 Skystarray
