Today on Dueling Network

Or duelnet by DS.

Been killed by the following reasons :

1. Priority (espeacially Yaichi and Dark Armed)

2. Colossal Armory Loop

3. Tengu

Right, seems like my deck is built for OCG only.

Just an extremely short post. Back to Duelnet!

Thunder End Dragon

Its a Rank 8 Dragon monster Exceed from the next booster Photon Shockwave, no pictures now, but I hope Konami don't fail us at the arts department.

This dragon can only be exceed summon by overlaying 2 Level 8 Normal monsters. And by removing one of his material from underneath , he can destroy all other monsters once per turn.

This card screams Blue Eyes White Dragon, doesn't he.

But, thats not just it. Cause, we get a new dragon to abuse this dragon with.

Meet Rabii-Dragon. No pictures yet, so we don't know how this guy would look like, I hope it doesn't looks like a rabbit.

Aside from that, this is a level 8 Light Dragon Normal Monster, with 2950 attack and 2900 defense.

Just a Blue Eyes wannabe? Maybe. But who cares, we now have 2 Level 8 normal Dragons we can abuse.

Dragon Abuse Deck in preparation, here is the sample which is completely off my head.

monster (12):

3 Blue Eyes White Dragon

3 Rabii- Dragon

3 White Stone of Legends

3 Dragunity Phalanx/Aklys (your choice)

spell (27):

3 Trade-In

3 Cards of Consonance

3 Advance Draw

3 White Elephant's Gift

3 Swing of Memories

2 Silent Doom

2 Dragon's Mirror

2 Dragon Ravine

2 Terra Forming

1 Monster Reborn

2 Mystic Space Typhoon

1 Giant Trunade

trap (1):

1 Return from a Different Dimension

Just some random deck I thought off, since Thuner-End Blowing up the field and Dragon Mirror for FGD = 8000 damage.

...

Maybe find room for a Dux, since you might have dead hands, and sync to Scrap to blow a card (together with Ravine) then tribute it for Advance Draw might nett you something.

...

Nevermind what I just said up there!

Rabii-Dragon really looks like a god-damned rabbit.

15th May World's Qualifier's Top16 Qualifier Thingy report

Went to Gamers Arena get my Pots (2 of them and borrowed 1 from Cookie) and joined the tourney.

The show up was small, 18 only as opposed to last weeks huge turn out (which luckily I did not go).

Deck used : Sabers

Cause I'm almost certain no one knows what this deck does and how to counter it. I tech it to the max too.

1st match vs Jun Pak - Machina Gadget

1st duel - Random saber stunts.

2nd duel - Pashuul became the only thing between me and his massive field, stalled for 5 turns until he had an answer.

3rd duel - He flipped my Cyber Dragon face down, I declair fusion with his 2 machines, we asked the head judge, which he approves and proceed to attack with a 3000 beats.

1 - 0

2nd match vs Fishtank - Samurai

1st duel - Hand blew my Pashuul and Emmers.

2nd duel - Trap Stun, Hyunlei and Faultroll.

3rd duel - He drops Shi-En and Yaichi on me, I have a Faultroll, a Pot, a MST, Mirror Force, Solemn and BTH.

1 - 1

I got a bye for round 3 cause my opponent decided to go home (probably due to 2 loss).

2 - 1

4th match vs Whirldwind BF

The dude was told me before the duel he knows nothing bout sabers and he will ask me for the effects of the cards.

1st duel - I declair Syncro, he lets it pass, and when I look into my extra deck, he ask me if there is any level 6 Saber, I explained to him Hyunlei's effect, then he suddenly ask for a replay. He backed me up after that cause his backrow was good, but Pashuul saved me from Trishula and Shura. I stalled long enough for Faultroll to come into play and turn the duel around.

2nd duel - He starts with Shura, grab Blizzard and 4 backrows. Got owned.

3rd duel - Hyunlei completely owns the dude, as he sets cards like Forbidden Lance and stuff (and even a Dark Hole once, cause he doesn't want his Mirror Force to get MST'ed, so much for that).

When I stood up, he was so upset(and screaming...) and was like telling his mates that he knew nothing about sabers, thats why he loss. I originally wanted to just say it to his face "I don't even have Boggard and Darksoul, and I still owned you" but Fishtank stopped me.

3 - 1

5th match vs Karakuri

1st duel - I have Veiler in hand for his Burei and it hits into Warrior Lady. Airbellum just keeps poking his life and hand off the board.

2nd duel - I backed him up again, and he pulled Karakuri Komachi "wateverthename" but I have Chain Disappearance. And I ended with Scrap, Gottoms up in front, Oppression(set) and Reborn in hand. He has no hand nor field, and he surrendered after looking at the top card.

4 - 1

So, top 4.

Top 4 vs Machina Gadget.

This is a not a duel but an amateur comedy act. We are literally trying to make the other laugh as opposed to Fishtank's serious duel at the other table.

And apparently, my opponent worships Karl Lim (since his dead for a certain reason and his soul would strengthen your card playing skills and allow you to pull off impossible fleats). Its actually a religion that offers annual sacrifice (in terms of Pot of Duality) to the divine being (Karl). Say his name 3 times before your every move (including draws) and you will succeed.

1st duel -My deck has 17 monsters, I pull 6. But lasted at least 15 turns before losing.

2nd duel -I sided for this match up, but my monster count is now 14. I start, I drew ... 6 monsters ... Apparently Karl Lim chanting really does work.

Result : Top 4

And the guy also proceed to beat Fishtank's 1st turn Shi-En and 3 backrows by SHOUTING Karl Lim every time before he draws or do just about anything.

So, remember, when you are in a dire situation, don't believe in the heart of the cards, just believe in Karl Lim.

Random stuffs

I've just went of Shriek for the 1st time in ... 2 weeks? And I think its official that BF has left the winners circle ... so sad.

So for the May tourneys, the winning decks are, roughly :

35~40% Junk Doppel

30~35% Six Samurai

10% Karakuri based stuffs

and others for others.

So, we do have a problem, see it? No? Really?

All 3 decks that are winning are Syncro based, hello, Yusei died(why else his not in the epilogue), 5D's is over, Its Exceed era now and no one is even playing with them.

Bad card design on Konami's part I guess.

I made this deck a few weeks (maybe months) ago, and I played tested with it a little and found this thing actually works?

monster (23):

3 Scrap Golem

2 Scrap Beast

2 Scrap Goblin

2 Super-Nimble Mega Hamster

2 Ryko Lightlord Hunter

3 Thor's Black Goat

3 Thor's White Goat

3 Thor's Horse

1 Morphing jar

2 Spell Striker

spell (14):

3 Scrap Storm

3 Scrapyard

2 MST

1 Giant Turnade

1 Monster Reborn

1 Dark Hole

1 Mind Control

2 Creature Swap

trap (3):

3 Royal Decree

Just a fun deck I made from my pile of cards. No expensive stuffs here.

Sold my Librarian!!

Despite what I wrote in the previous post, I sold my Formula, my Librarians (both of them) and Ghost rare Shooting Star. And using that money, I funded my 3 copies of Duality, which isn't such a bad deal on my part.

Well, why did I do that?

Librarian and Formula are obvious targets for the banned list in September. And with EXP4 coming out around the same time, Sabers WILL get a power boost (AKA reaching TCG standards), and for reasons unknown to man, Pot of Duality will increase in price yet again, unless if its reprinted or so. But who cares, I get mine in a "trade", I don't care if the price drops, I spent $0(of my own) on them.

Met up with Team Arco this afternoon and did some dueling. Koaki Meiru with Hope!! Still sucks.

I dueled Fishtank in his E HERO build, despite nothing went wrong on my part, I lost 5 rounds out of 5. Hope got attacked, got bounced, got destroyed and got Super Poly'ed.

But on the other hand, my Rainbow-Neos-Fenix-Burn-Chain-Material hybrid deck is doing great. I actually got Cyber End out, but it got MST'ed (Future Fusion).

Yeah, my final exams are over but I have internship starting 2 weeks later, damn ... So, I'll be enjoying my short sem break, so expect only bout 2 to 3 post next week. Also, this could be due to Pokemon BW is freakin' awesome!

Wish I can go to Gamers this weekend and play the Worlds Qualifier. But knowing my parents, most probably not. But What ever!

Koaki Meiru Exceed

Since I've finish revising for tomorrow's paper, I though I post this new list of mine. Made it late last night and I've not test play it at all.

monster (16):

3 Koaki Meiru Urknight

3 Koaki Meiru Crusader

3 Koaki Meiru Powerhand

2 Koaki Meiru Boulder

2 Thunder King Rai-Oh

2 King Tiger Wanghu

1 Summoner Monk

spell (11):

3 Pot of Duality

3 Iron Core of Koaki Meiru

3 Burden of the Mighty

1 Monster Reborn

1 Dark Hole

trap (13):

2 Trap Stun

2 Iron Core Luster

2 Dimension Prison

2 Bottomless Traphole

2 Solemn Warning

1 Solemn Judgment

1 Call of the Haunted

1 Royal Oppression

Let me explain bout the deck a bit. Its obviously an antimeta deck aimed at no specific target. I could change it to specific hate with the side board thou (but unfortunately this is not my tourney deck so I don't have one).

Urknight is the main monster of the deck cause he basically makes free exceeds. And with Burden out, summoning Crusader will nett you cards like crazy (or so I hope).

Powerhand is good in here cause it can get through huge ass walls and its good against Ryko and Spy. There may be other targets as well, but I can't recall at the moment.

Trap line up are generic aside from the lone Luster. Why not run more? Same reason why Grave BF don't run more than 1 Delta Crow (if they run it at all), it only hits facedowns and would only be good if you start first, but its always good to have.

I have Burden in here cause this deck have problem getting rid of big syncro monsters if I don't have my traps. So, I threw Wanghu in just to have a Wanghu lock up and Powerhand gets rid of the face downs for me.

Proxies the 3 Dualities for the moment since I have my play set confirmed.

No Royal Decree hate in here cause my opponent won't be any better situations themselves if they lock their own traps(if Wanghu and RaiOh are out). But side the 2 MST just because I don't know how true is this theory.

Tell me what you think? Innovative or completely stupid?

Better get the Inverse Roaches before it got sold out again.

TG Hyper Librarian

Its the new Dark Dive Bomber.

We are aware of this since it came out (end of last year I think), but his getting a bit out of hands.

I've not look into this card(or any other promo) for the last few months, partly due to my studies, and mostly due to the fact that we were too busy preparing for Asian and soon, Worlds.

But since Shooting Quaser was printed, this dude, basically gone crazy.

From a magazine card that we bought for RM15, we expected it to reach the 30s, hence, Lam bought 11 copies. But no, it kept rising. From what I heard, this card can be sold for RM80, thats more than 5 times it's cost. Normally, I would sell the copies I'm holding off to gain this massive profit before it drops in price, but this time, I'm not even thinking of it. Thats just how good this card is.

Over the few days of not writing any blog post, I look around for some decklist and videos concerning the deck, and came to conclusion that, any deck that could do 5 and 2 syncros, is gonna own.

While it alone has not made that much of an impact over here at Malaysia like the broken cards of the past did, I imagine it has something to do with it being a promo.

Seriously, this card is SOOOO getting hit by the September banned list, limited to 1, says I.

...

On a side note, I was busy yesterday night and this morning taking out my Koaki Meiru deck from the bottom of my YGO drawer (ya, I still play this deck), cause my next paper would be on Monday, which left me not in the mood for books the whole of yesterday.

Koaki Meiru Urknight is broke now. Well, not to the fact that its competitive, but its a LOT better than it used to be. Why? Inverse Roach and Aspiring Emperor Hope.

What it used to do was summoning another 2000 beat to hit your opponent hard, but that meant you would have to maintain both, which was a chore. Now? Summoning another 2000 beats, hit your opponent hard and overlay them to exceed summon Inverse Roach, which locks your opponent up while not wasting your hand.

As simple and basic this seems, it adds a lot of synergy to the as I play tested it against imaginary opponent no.1 a few moments ago. But still got kicked in the ass, the face and every part you can think of by Junk Doppel aka Librarian Whore.

But, the deck is FAR from complete as its still heavily unbalanced and I need some good traps in here.

Thats it for now, going back to study mode!!
