Working on a decklist!!

The Malaysian National is this Sunday. Asian format, meaning no promos (aside from game promos ). SD20 made Kristia a non-promo, so we are expected to see some amount of rise in Herald of Perfection, and Agents, which are not as weak as we think they are.

Of cause, the usual, Samurai, Debris Dande and BF are always gonna be there. Not to mention, out dated meta decks such as GB and Machina(which would be a pain in the ass if you don't side for them).

Me and Nick are gonna run non-META decks. He had decided upon something you guys might go OMG for. But, I've yet to decide. Lam ... he isn't sure if he could attend or not, cause, well, his working like a slave.

Gonna be building decks this week, so don't expect a lot of post. And I have college problem that I need to settle this week as well (bloody awful time table)!!

I'm seeing a decrease in maining BTH over at the land of the rising sun. Guess who ever wrote a certain post regarding that topic was right.

2 warnings or 3?

Compulse or D Prison?

20+ traps or 3 decree?

The Supremacy SUN

So, before we get the other planets (Despair Uranus, Tripping Mercury, Grand Jupiter, Blazing Mars and Suspension Pluto), we get the bloody Sun?

Which is cool and all cause the Sun is just bloody cool. Hell, he looks like a god and would fit the requirements to be a Divine Beast if Kageyama Sensei wants him to be.

BUT NO!

We can't have him be a god, hell, even the Polar Gods aren't gods, and for some reason Shueisha have completely forgotten about Osiris.

But Dark? Is that an attribute you give to the Sun?

Christ man! Why wouldn't Light do. It makes perfect sense if his light, but dark ? Not at all.

Why? If his Light, He'll be over Powered?

Yeah, if thats the case, make him water. Talk about Ironic!!

Lets move on shall we!

His (unconfirmed) effect is good.

While he can't be special summon aside from his own effect, he shouldn't be. If this dude is destroyed, ditch a card from your hand and you get to special summon him back in your next standby.

If this go unnerf, his gonna be even better than the polar gods.

Thats it for a day.

I'm looking for The Big Saturn and The Splendid Venus (the UR version of cause). Some one please hope me up with it!!

Random Post!!

When I was thinking bout this, monster space was not in my mind :

big fish summons 1 oyster, 1 fish borg, 1 rainbow fish , 1 unagi.

fish + rainbow = librarian.

discard 1, fishborg + big fish = stardust, draw 1.

discard 1,fish + oyster = hand, draw 1.

unagi + token = another librarian, draw 1. +1

discard 1,fishborg + token = formula, draw 3. +2

formula + hand = broniac, draw 2. +2

go for shooting star. +2

+5 cards in your hand. And Bronaic, Shooting Star + 2 Librarian. OTK!!

LOL !!

So, that was, 1 Mausoleum, 1 Coelacanth and 1 random card.

monster (18):

3 Super Ancient Deepsea King Coelacanth
3 Royal Swamp Eel
3 Oyster Meister
3 Fishborg Gunner
3 Deepsea Macrotrema
3 Metabo Shark

spell (22):

3 Moray of Greed
3 Mausoleum of the Emperor
3 Magical Mallet
3 Hand Destruction
3 Into The Void
2 Pot of Avarice
2 Terra Forming
1 One-for-One
1 Giant Turnade
1 Monster Reborn

This is one deck you don't wanna let him go first.

One problem with this deck is that it plays Hand Destruction. Which lets your opponent draw a couple of cards, which may be DD Crow or Effect Veiler.

While this deck is clearly an OTK deck. I rather face it then frog or anything from the previous format anyday.

...

BTW, did this crazy ass shit with my Sabers just now.

Summon Pashuul, activate E Call, emmers and garsem.

Special Faultroll. Sync for Librarian (proxy). revive pashuul, sync for scrap. draw 1.

activate 2nd E call. Blow up garsem and opponent monster. Search for Faultroll. Sp summon Faultroll. Sync into 2nd Librarian, draw 1. sync into Stardust, draw 2. Direct attack!!

LOL.

I was like having 2 E calls and a 7-tools set with 1300 life and Faultroll. Topped Pashuul. While that may already be game normally, now I have a few more hands to do stuffs!!

The Librarian is an awesome card!!

Yugioh Zexal!!

Wow!! Just wow!!

Is this YGO or Duel Masters? I was hoping the new series takes YGO to a more hard core level, not to make it more child friendly, somehow, I think this has to do with a certain new anime law.

Of the staff's, we know that Kazuki sensei and Studio Dice are there just for show (they have to have Kazuki sensei's name up there for some reason).

AND, the mangaka for the 5D's manga. My knowledge of Japanese fail me now as I have no clue what post he is aside from something to do with the duels.

Whats that blue thing next to the main chac? Duel spirit? I hope not. Cause Hane Kuriboh says NO!! Well, his//her//its name is Asutoraru or Astoral? What ever that means, cause my scans ain't clear enough for the details.

Speaking of the main character. Has Kazuki ran out of names? I mean, we all know his gonna be Yu- something, but Yuma? I mean, that sounds like someone who might just appear on Wangan in Wangan Midnight. Putting that on a kid? Ok ...

BUT, my main problem ain't with the name, its fine. His last name ... not really. How do you even read that? Sorry, this coming from a chinese guy, but, its hella funny!! The kanji translates to 99. Seriously 99!! I'm sorry, but thats TOO DAMN COOL!!

The series is set in the near future, from our point of view? Yusei's or Judai's? I have no clue. Judai's please!!

I have not read most of the things on the scan, I post this the moment I found this on a certain chinese forum. So, don't get angry if I missed out anything (most probably!)

Some updates!!

Yesterday, my team mate Nick went to locals and top 2. For a man of his caliber, thats really not something to be surprise about. BUT, he did it with Karakuri.

Now, for about two weeks, Nick was convince that Karakuri is good. I mean, we all know they are good, but he is convinced that they are BF good (or something like that).

So, he took his build and went to Sg Wang yesterday, alone, cause I'm having my finals and Lam's working. And beat the crap out of most of everyone in the locals and scored a second place there. Ok, he didn't beat everyone, but ... you get the point.

He succeeded in proving to us//me that Karakuri is a tourney worthy decks, and throughout the day, he have success and ending up losing only to our beloved Wong Fei Hung.

Nick remarks that, he did not lose to Lightbeat BUT Thunder King Rai Oh. Which if you read my previous post is one of the 5 cards I think is going to be really important this format.

From the looks of things, while STOR brought a lot of duelist into the Samurai world, its still the same old Lightbeat topping here at KL, nothing had changed since the beginning of this format.

Now, thats that. Time for some personal news!!

My side deck for Sabers has finally been completed, aiming to bring down the top 3 decks in the Meta while my main can take care of others.

Dustshoot is amazing, even with all the discarding my deck does. Maybe because I main Morphing Jar but the card really win games for me.

STILL, taking Samurai without Rai Oh is hard for me (Sabers is my deck for the official tourneys so I don't have promos in it).

While I like my build and all, I still need to practice with it (siding wise) cause I can't really take out a lot of cards without seriously hindering my deck's strength. Some problems are still available I guess.

Main deck wise, my Sabers is more powerful than my E HERO, but it isn't as versatile as my HEROs and can't take on bad match ups as easy. And its hard to side out card, unlike my HERO deck which I can side out all 15 cards in my side with relative ease. At the moment, 7 is the maximum amount of cards I could side out at once.

I'm now trying 2 Volcanic Queens in my saber side, its good cause it basically lock my opponent with Gozen Match. When going against Herald, sac Herald for Queen and activate Gozen match, sure, you might take that 2500 damage, BUT, your gonna burn your opponent alive. Against Samurai, yeah, he can summon Mizuho, and now what?

But this is all in theory of cause, I still have not went to any locals to test this out yet.

Hope this was a fun read!!

5 Important cards this format (to me):

These cards are gonna be important for the rest of the format (I'm speaking Malaysian meta of cause). While people are gonna argue, why card XX ain't here and card XX ain't good enough. But most of you would agree with at least 3 of the cards (I hope ... ).

Lets not waste more time as I'm actually having my final paper for this semester next Wednesday. And I really should be refreshing some notes now.

1. Compulsory Evacuation Device


I personally like this card main. But side is just as good. The big 3 of the Malaysian format is now officially, BF, Six Samurai and Herald of perfection. While not really affecting the top decks a lot, it will most certainly mess up all the other decks to some degree. While is this card good then? It saves you deck spaces you need to counter a lot of decks and focuses your side on the 3 main ones.

Decks that this card absolutely rapes : Scrap, Gigavise, GB, and any other syncro heavy decks.

2. Dust Tornado


I can imagine people in the OCG dropping Trap Stun (which isn't really that popular in the first place) for this. Of the 3 top decks, only BF plays heavy traps(Samurai do also, but doesn't rely on traps as much as BF). Dust Tornado gets rid of face down, face up, trap AND spell. Thats the beauty of this card. Its a one way out to Gate and a faced down Decree(just set) for decks that don't have much space in their main.

Its more user friendly then Trap Stun in our format. Cause the only decks that plays trap are like mentioned, BF, GB and Stun.

3. Cyber Dragon


What!? I mean, I know its good against Machines but is it that good? YES! I mean, if Six Samurai doesn't have Shien out, there is nothing they have that is gonna top this thing. And if you ARE the one running Samurai, this card is gonna be good in your side cause people are gonna side in Kinetic Soldier. Like Compulse, this is just one of those cards that could single handily take on a lot of decks.

He can take on : BF, GB, Herald, Light Beat, Machina, STUN based decks (if oppression ain't out yet), Karakuri and so much more.

I personally like to have 3 in the sides or main 1 side 2. But its really hard to find the perfect number for him.

4. Thunder King RaiOh

This is a beast of a card. Its a beatstick that can TOTALLY stop your opponent in his tracks. To competitive players, Rai Oh is no stranger. But now, his more important than ever. The top 3 decks in our format all falls under his kill list. It slows BF down if you get him out turn 1, and stops Samurai and Herald right there. Problem with this card is that its a promo and not all decks can run it.. For those who can, he is gonna be your MVP, thats for sure.

5. Lava Golem//Volcanic Queen

Which of the 2 is better ... I really don't know, I mean, Volcanic Queen is easier to bring out but Golem does more damage. In my previous post, I mention that how Golem takes down Samurai and stuff. Queen takes down Herald and BF easier. Not that you wanna side this in against BF, but ...

Why are they good? They don't destroy and tributing are cost of the summon. Matagama and Herald says ... oh ...

BUT, this is still on experimental stage as I still have not test this side against the mentioned decks. Next week, wait till my exam finishes!!

...

That wraps out my top 5 picks for the (Malaysian) format. I like reading feed backs so type out what you think BELOW.

Malaysian duelist : Why isn't HERO beat a top deck in Malaysia? It tops a lot.

me : For the fact that only 1 guy plays it (right). No matter how consistent he//she tops with it. If no other guy plays that deck, its not going to be considered a meta deck.

This same answer goes to alot of decks as well.

Again, if you have things to say, down in the comments please!!

Btw, why did the world get destroy by syncro monsters?
