Flaming Star

The archtype definately caught my attention since a while ago, ever since the release of the promos from Jump. I'm a big fan of the characters from traditional chinese literature, so I can't really pass down the chance of playing them in YGO. That being said, I had a hard time figuring out whose who since they are all written in katagana instead of kanji.

From the looks of things, they're gonna be a archtype that focuses on the continuous spells and traps of the deck, the Flaming Dances. That being said, I doubt a deck like so would be very popular in the competitive scene. The deck is overall pretty technical from what I see, since there are very powerful cards, but their activation condition are very very steep. But, that basically makes me wanna own that deck more. I like decks like Koaki Meiru that requires some sort of "key" to "unlock" their power, like an RPG thing. Its just that these decks would almost never see play in tournaments, due to its inherit inconsistent nature. I certainly feel the Flaming Star is a very much better designed deck as compared to earlier "puzzle" decks.

I really don't want them to make this archtype broken thou, cause I don't really like people playing a deck I like. Like how I really dislike the fact that there are so many people running around with HEROs. Call me selfish or whatever, I just don't like the fact that people are abusing a deck I've always hold as my "bunshin". 

Thats about what I want to rant about for today. Need to get my game on before I could go into deeper details as I've not played at all for the past month.

Finally we get some useable continuos spell cards ... that DO stuff right on ... I mean the Beast Warrior searcher is good, I like the concept behind the archtype ... I also like that they are HORNcompatible and that they can run even decree to some extent as they can run magic planter or whole nother stuff too!

interesting archtype is interesting ... not like simpleton like DW or other stuff that came out new.

The only thing that I dislike is that EVERY NEW archtype but Hieratic dies to Macrocosmos ... even this Archtype ...
