Its confirmed!!

Yusei pack 3 has been confirmed and coming out in October. Thats not surprising, but whats coming out with it is.

No, its not Duelist Pack Jack Atlus, Its Duelist Pack Crow Hogan!?

Wow!? Cheap BF? Arms Wing and Vayu Rare?(like how Cydra was) Armor Wing and Black Feather Dragon Super? Ultra rare? Freakin' Aurora?

Anyways, this is good news for me (and others who sold their BF or can't afford BF), it also possibly means BF is gonna get hit by the list(maybe, cause its not Top Tier anywhere outside the SEA region...)

Whoever made this decision, I thank you and for once I'm glad we didn't get Duelist Pack Jack Atlus (or maybe we can substitute this with the Yusei pack 3)

...

Well, I finally come to realize that how decks in the current format is categorize!!

Weak - no combo deck

Normal - decks with combo//strategy

Good - anything that is stable and can//has already top some tourney

Awesome - anything that has >70% victory chances against something in the "good" level

I don't Duel, I win!! - anything that can spam Trishula like there is no tomorrow should fall under this category

Yusei Pack 3

Still no news on the Yusei pack 3 yet from Konami, but I have a hunch that Starlight Road is gonna be in it as a Super Rare.

Maybe ... just maybe, we'll get a Duelist Pack Jack Atlus instead this year. Super rare Vice Dragon and Red Daemon are more than welcome!!

But what I'm really hoping for is Judai Pack 4!! Daydreaming too much I think ... or maybe its the coffee ... ?

Stay tune!!

If you haven't already notice ... this is a filler post!!

My Flamvell Cat deck

well, this is my last tribute for my deck, it has done me well for the last 2~3 months. And its gonna get dismantle this weekend. Flamvell parts are gonna go to my Monarch deck and the Cats are gonna be in storage until Extra Pack 3 (you know what I mean!!).

To start things up, my build is quite different from a lot of Flamvell Cats. While most builds tend on maximizing the monster counts so that you can end games quickly. My build was really trap heavy so that I can stand up to BF face to face!!

Apparently, the lack of a red jacket on that day stop me from getting Judai luck and I pulled "great" hands yesterday. And I over-estimate Magical Android's 2400!!

Nationals Scrub-port!!

As the title suggested!! I freaking scrub.

deck played : Flamvell Cats (the odds are highly against me, I know!!)

amount of players ... not that many really, around 160 I say?

Round 1 for me started at 12 pm, while part A people started 45 minutes earlier.

1st Match vs Jinzo Syncro/OTK

1 duel - I was like "Don't be Frog!! Don't be frog!! Please don't be frog!!". I attack his face down ... Treeborn Frog!! I swear my brain stop working for a few seconds. Then next turn I attack the face down, Mystic Tomato ... ah! I see!!

2nd duel - He misplayed badly (I don't think he realizes this thou). Using Future Fusion into 3 Jinzos while I have 2 face down monsters, Stardust? No, he syncs into Red Daemon with ZOmbie Carrier, BUT realizing his mistake, he sync for a Stardust with his Zombie. End up? Stardust kills Daemon!! Yeah!!

OO

When they first release the pairings!! I got a bye!! I was freaking exciting and went to make fun of Team Abaranger because I have freaking good luck!!

Then, Paul was like ... no, we need to change the bye to another guy cause his situation is more qualified !? Da Fak!?

anyways,

2nd match vs BF (why does it always have to be BF?)

1st duel - 2 Flamvell Magical, Spy and Decendent, MST and Snowman? Da Fak? But I topped deck Cat and rape his hand. Cold Wave FTW!!

2nd duel - Icarused my Concentrated Light and Arms Wing keep piercing my Flamvells.

3rd duel - Its at the point that he has 2 hands and I have 2. I summon Airbellum and attack directly, Vayu!? I set Trap Hole (while its almost useless...), he Arms Wing and set Icarus. DESTINY DRAW!! Mirror Force!! YES YES YES ... Icarus ...!! Oh ... Blizzard came out and he controlled from there.

OXX

Scrubbed in top 64 ... damn!!

...

OH NO!! Micheal is the winner and going to LA!! NOOO!! We can't have an Ojisan with the young people at LA can we? Pls!! Pass the ticket to Sung Lee at least!!

Just imagine Micheal with those other players... and taking a photo ... Malaysia's rep is a old man!! NOO!

2 days!!

and I'm still modding my deck as we speak. I think I'm the least well prepared player in Malaysia for this event!!

No, wait ..! That'll be Lam. He doesn't even have a deck yet.

Nothing much!! Going to sleep now (8:05 pm), I'm currently having a headache!!

Mind Crush!


A piece of idiotic//pure genius advice is to main Mind Crush in this week end's tourney. NO! I'm not joking.

While, mostly considered side at best, I find this card one of the most "main-able" cards for this weekend. Why?

Obviously, BF and Machina are gonna be the main mile stone to beat this weekend. But if we take a look at the other decks that are//may be popular and stand a chance in the spot light. Herald, Lightlord, GB, frogs and of cause Infernity(without Trishula if you didn't know).

Still why?
What do the top 2 decks have in common ... they search for pieces for their kill ... Oh!!

Herald is basically same as the above.

GB and Lightlord with their search and recycle.

Frogs ... mass driver anyone?

Infernity ... I perform combo, Mirage into archfiend and necromancer!! Activate archfiend's effect!! I search for The Freakin' Gun!! Ha ha ha ha!!

MIND CRUSH!!

Your opponent will end up like Kaiba in the manga if he is betting everything on that.

While, I wrote those. There aren't any solid proof to back my point up. But IF you have an extra slot in your deck, why not? Besides, we all know how pesky Battle Fader is when you wanna go for game.

AND in case you don't know, you CAN ask for your opponent to show you his//her hand to confirm that he//she isn't cheating. Go to YGO Wikia to check on the ruling if you don't believe me!!

Self-Destruction God Deck is on its way!!

Although thats the topic, I've basically finished the deck this afternoon, but proxy some as my "more competitive decks" have the priority ("bumi putra" basically...LOL).

Why out of no where I build a Jibakushin//Earthbound God//Immortal deck when the world's qualifier is so close ... well, I'm just being me. Who knows, maybe I'll bring this to worlds INSTEAD.

Basically, for people who played Jibakushin, you'll know that you need your monsters to stall long enough till your God comes out. I say : "Bull Piss!!"

My take on a idiotic yet EPIC!! deck!! And YES Mike!! Its all about the Epicness!!

JIBAKUSHIN!! (40) :

monster (7):

1x Jibakushin WIRAQOCHA RASCA (big bird)
1x Jibakushin URU (spider)
1x Jibakushin ASLLA PISCU (small bird)
1x Jibakushin CCARAYHUA (Godzilla's friend // man eater lizard // kaiju)
1x Jibakushin CCAPAC APU (APU//Gashapon)
1x Jibakushin CUSILLU (monkey)
1x Jibakushin CHACU CHALLHUA (technically not a fish)

spell (21):

3x Mausoleum of the Emperor
3x Terra Forming
3x Magic Planter
3x Jibaku Whirlwind
3x Fire of Doomsday
3x Upstart Goblin
1x Field Barrier
1x MST
1x My Body as a Shield

trap (12):

2x Royal Oppression
2x Skill Drain
2x Royal Decree
2x Trap Stun
1x Call of the Haunted
1x Solemn Judgment
2x SELF-DESTRUCTION BUTTON (literally Jibaku)

EPIC ... FAIL!!

Basically ... I can go : "Jibaku suru .. Jibakushin!! Ya HAAAHAHAHA!!" (in MAD Kiryu tone, not the emo one)

SD19 - Dragunity Drive!!




The complete list is OUT!! And just as I expected (which I don't like at all...), Red Eyes Darkness Metal is not in it ...

While that means a HUGE climb in REDMD price here over at Malaysia, its safe to say that this is one deck you don't wanna miss.

Aside from the stupid reprints, this deck includes some of the Dragunities (aside from the syncro) and introduces Dragunity Arms to the game, and we all know how gay Laevateinn can be.

Useful reprints for beginners and those of us who have a lot of decks but lack in staples can also be very happy, as the 1st time in years, Mirror Force and Bottomless Traphole are included in a SD (well, for people who have only 1 deck ... TOO BAD!!).

Icarus Attack is also reprinted!! Nice timing as I sold all of mine and was planning to get some this weekend.

While useless to the current META, trap cards like Monster Relief//Release Monster, Arc's Selection//The Selection and of cause, Red Eyes Wyvern are being Reprinted. Which may be good in some way.

BF just got another side deck card that just became legal in Asian Format!!

Mist Valley Falcon is a very good surprise!! While I don't prefer it in the deck, there is no denial that it is a very good card!!

And how can one forget the TRUE GEM of this SD, Dragon's Canyon. An extremely powerful card in ANY dragon deck which acts as a permanent Foolish Burial AND a RoTA for Dragunity!! And did I mention how beautiful its art work is?

While I don't think Malaysia got this deck already, here is how I would build it when I get my hands on it. Hopefully, this weekend!!

DRAGUNITY DRIVE (40):

monster (18):

3x Dragunity Arms Laevateinn
3x Dragunity Aklys
3x Dragunity Phalanx (NEED TO GET THIS!! ARGG!!)
1x Dragunity Arms Misteil
3x Dragunity Legionnair
3x Dragunity Dux
2x Light and Darkness Dragon

spell (12):

3x Dragon's Canyon
2x Monster Reincarnation
1x Heavy Storm
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
3x Double Cyclone
1x Brain Control
1x Trade-In

trap (12):

3x Icarus Attack
2x Widespread Dud
2x Bottomless Traphole
2x Dimension Prison
1x Mirror Force
1x Solemn Judgment
1x Dark Bribe

I would like to inform you that, NO! I have never played Dragunity in my life and never played against one before. The deck list was something I've come up after browsing through the cards.

What I'm trying to do with the deck is to treat Double Cyclone as a mini Gemini Spark, as blowing up cards like : Dragunity Aklys and LaDD is going to be very good and helps you push for game!!

Finally! Anyone can hook me up with 3 Phalanx!? As I have almost no excess to DT!! I would need someone's help here!!

Went to Sg Wang today ... Wait!! Ain't today Monday?

Finished class 2pm today, so decides to head to Sungei Wang to register for the upcoming tourney. Was expecting myself to leave right after that. But I saw some people dueling (which I don't know any of them), but apparently, 1 of them know me .... okay ... so I borrow a GB deck from the guy and start playing.

Then, my friend showed up and I continue playing until Mr KC says his gonna go to the gents so he "kindly" showed us out ... for 20 minutes cause he needs to go to the gents ... what is he doing in there ... don't really wanna know.

Team Aba-ranger shows up ... well, at least some of them. Dueled GB mirror match. Which was really kinda fun. Especially when the GB deck I borrowed is really awkward ... it mains Spirit Reaper and Injection Fairy Lily ... WTF ?

I was wondering ... is GB this good a deck ? I've played GB a year ago, and I don't find it consistent, but today, it just controlled like no tomorrow. Cool, maybe I'll built another GB deck when I have the time!!

Sir Micheal (fat Mike, not Mike the blogger) shows up and I was asking for the price for Infernity Death Dragon ... rm80 ... WTF ? I can get 1/4 of Trishula-sama for that price!!

Left Sungei Wang 3.5 hours later at 6pm!!

Thursday, June 10, 2010

To FTK or not to FTK? That is NOT the question!!

Hello ~ (in Indian style). Finally, I completed my FTK deck that I've been working on for 3 weeks.

Results ? In 27 duels/playtest/self-touching sessions (until 5 minutes ago), 13 times FTK. The rest are turn 2 kills, you can call it OTK I guess (but I tend not to). Its either I'm 1 step closer to Baha or 1 step closer to being a Luck sack!

For those of you who faced me at Sungei Wang last Saturday, sorry, but my deck looks VERY VERY different now. So, PLEASE continue reading, don't just go "meh, I've seen it. Bye!!"

*drum role*

monsters(11):

1x Morphing Jar
3x AD Changer
3x Jain, Lightsworn Paladin
1x Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior
1x Sangan
2x Giant Rat

spells(26):

3x Into the Void
3x Upstart Goblin
3x Solar Recharge
3x Hand Destruction
3x Book of Eclipses
2x Magic Stone Excavation
1x Charge of the Light Brigade
1x Reinforcement of the Army
1x Magical Mallet
1x Card Destruction
1x Foolish Burial
1x A Feather of the Phoenix
1x Book of Moon
1x Book of Taiyou
1x Monster Reincarnation

traps(3):
1x Magical Explosion
2x Blast of the Ruins

Obviously, you know how this deck works. Of cause, this is just how MY version looks like, and some techs (ie, magical mallet and monster reincarnation) are just my personal preference, which may or may not work for you.

Why Giant Rats ?

This assures you get your kill at least turn 2. While I don't usually draw into him when I need him (only once or twice I think...), this deck tends to get rid of dead cards really easily, so, since it can help and is never a bad draw ... why not?

...

If you activated 3 of the Upstarts, you'll have to get almost all but 1 spell into the grave or ... you lose. So, don't just set everything you got. Its pretty dangerous.

...

The 4th Lightsworn work very well, I was running 3, but since Soliel said that its more balanced, I gave it a try. It works very good. KUDO's to him. And the 3rd Hand Destruction was his suggestion as well.

...

I may try changing the 2nd Giant Rat for another Feather of the Phoenix, but since I don't have another copy, guess I'll have to pass.

...

After I play this deck for more than 200 times (only about 10 times where there is someone in front of me ... well, I don't think you'll need anyone to test play this deck). Came to realize 2 things:

1 . Why does people like STD decks SOOO Much ... Heck!! Its VERY Frickin' FUN (In a Way...)

2. Sam's quote : "I've Won ..." LOL!! Oh yeah!! And you don't get to do shit!!

...

This deck is easily noticed as the mixture of Junk Blade and Empty Jar.

June 5th Locals Report

Went to Sg Wang after getting some cards with Lam, reach about 2pm and in no where we see the Dragonlord...

What ever. got some cards then started the tourney. At this point I still lack 1 A Blast of the Ruins for my FTK, so I ran Flamvell Cats as Lam wanna borrow my E HERO Extra deck.

1st match vs Skill Drain

1st duel - I start and set Snowman. After I blow his Vorse Raider, I summon Summoner Monk into Stardust and control from there.

2nd duel - Flamvell Firedog is just too BIG for him. Apparently, he set Vorse Raider and Insect Knight cause he can't beat my Firedog ... WTF!?

2nd match vs Infernity - Karl Lim ...

I thought this is just the 2nd match ...

1st duel - Set Snowman and Mirror Force, passed to him. He RoTA into Grepher, pitch Archfiend into Beetle. Foolished Necromancer. Set 1 or 2. Activates Gun... you get the point ...

2nd duel - I sided in 15 cards!! Apparently, my entire side deck was Anti-Infernity Shit!! I start, 2 Firedog, 2 Avarice, MST and Decendent ... Da FAk? I didn't pull anything good in 3 turns and review to duel 1.

Fak U Trishula!!

3rd match vs BF - GanSeong (nickname of cause)

1st duel - controlled him.

2nd duel - got controlled.

3rd duel - controlled him with Concentrated Light and set Ryko. He activates Mind Control ... At some point after that, he Starlight Road my Mirror Force, and it was game.

4th duel vs Blue Eyes HERO - Lam

cause I ain't gonna get shits anyway, so I play my FTK deck instead, since I got my cards.

1st duel - Shitty hands.

2nd duel - FTK.

3rd duel - He starts and sets Gemini Spark with Allius. I set Morphing Jar, he Sparks it...

1 - 3

ranking 14th ... got a Tourney Pack and pulled shit.

Thursday, June 3, 2010

Starting to feel like Takumi ...

Lol! For those of you who watch Initial D, when Takumi first drived the STi, he began to felt that his 86 can't compare to that car and felt that he doesn't know how to drive his 86 anymore.

Currently, I'm in the same shit. the more I play my Cat, Jinzo and FTK deck, the more I don't know how to play my E HERO ...

Basically, I start to draw bad hands ... make stupid mistakes ... summoning the wrong monster ...

Need to get over this FAST!!!

Scar-Red Nova Dragon


Konami, what ever you do ... FREAKING RELEASE THIS THING!!

Its about time Red Daemon put Stardust in his place, not as equals.

The Scar-Red Nova is really something that would make Trishula piss in his pants.

From the looks of things(still an unconfirmed effect), this shit is one of THE MOST powerful syncros EVER. Not to mention THE only syncro up to date to ever reach lv12, the sacred grounds of YGO monsters.

The stupid words really blocked too much of its text but with a Def of 3000 and its description "a monster that has a great attack power", you can guess how big this thing is.

Its effect (the shown parts) are more than OMG.

1. xxx this card gains 500 atk for every tuner in the grave ... okay ... that just made it bigger ... its still not sure that is this its based attack or a plus in attack thou.

2. xxxx this card cannot be destroy by spell, trap and effect monster's effect ... lol ... a giant beatstick that can't be destroyed by anything but battle ? Please main D Prison more ...

3. xxx you can remove this card from play. When you use this effect xxx you can NEGATE the activation of xxx. What do you think?

4. When this card is remove by this effect xxxx return it to the field. OMG!!

...

The only advantage Shooting Star has over this thing is ... well, Starlight Road and easier summoning. I mean, Red Daemon's Dragon + 2 Tuners ? Wow!! Thats though, BUT I like it.

Shooting Star Dragon and Scar-Red Nova Dragon aren't equals.

Shooting Star - a new form Stardust got by achieving a faster speed. Or, getting his hand on a F1 car. No, mystical power here, just technologically more advance than Stardust.

Scar-red Nova - the strongest and most powerful Earthbound God's power in the form of Red Daemon's Dragon. Which is sealed away 10000 years ago (at Dartz's time I suppose) by the Crimson Dragon himself.

so, its, F1 vs ancient forbidden creature; lv 10 vs lv 12; attack up to 5 times vs virtually indestructibly; syncro tuner vs 2 tuner; Yusei vs JACK ATLAS.

conclusion, Shooting Star can might as well pack it in and let this guy be the Ghost Rare.
