ATTENTION DUELIST!!

I would be starting a new session / topic / things to post called ... well, i have not thought of a name yet, but it would be about analyzing decks that are posted on Shriek or at my locals (rarely). Yes, it would be one of those deck surveying things that spots out the pros and cons on a deck and why and how it topped.

Oh, I won't do this unless I see something different or special, so meaning no META / no originality decks. I may miss some, so PM me if you see something special and I didn't post it.

Why am I starting something like this? Well, I'm not Rauzes. I can't do long speeches and ways to prevent/to do soft-cheating. I'm not like Baha or other PROS, the ruling I know are mostly Universal and I mostly get new info from their blogs. And I'm not Neuxcharge, I can't come up with a damn Long Ass post out of no where yet being very entertaining. And I'm not Ken, so I don't post topics only related to food.

BTW, does anyone know when PP12 would be mass released? I am dying for that Tornado and Parallel World!!

Only 1 problem remains between me and this deck ... MONEY. Lacking the BF syncros from the start, in need of Vayu and not to mention Breeze... I am a sad guy, but proxies tells me this deck works!!

How this deck works :

Its BF! How does it works? SPECIAL SUMMON, ATTACK , GAME! NOT! The whole objective of this deck is to summon Black Feather Dragon!!

Favorite card in deck - Black Feather Dragon
Favorite card IN deck - Ghibli of the Hot Wind

Wait! Why is Ghibli your favorite BF?

LGQ : 1, its bad ass! 2, I love the looks of my opponent's face when he thinks he got you! 3, Ghibli, how the hell are you suppose to pronounce that! but you know what? I don't care!

...

5D's episode "what-ever" comments : Team Unicorn RULEZ! Why? They plan ahead! And they have NOS in their bike!

This episode also made something that was thought to be impossible in the past came to live.

SOMEONE OTHER THAN YUSEI BEAT JACK ATLAS! *insertscreamsandmorescreams* THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!

This match would probably end with Yusei winning 3 of them after Aki lost (inevitably, they could make her win 1 of them thou..).

BUT! there may be a plot twist! Yusei Lost and 5D's lost to Unicorn! OMG! And whats all the whole season about? What about the Man in Gay White Robe's plan and their stupid Kikotei. Is YGO running out of ideas?

... And after that, we found out! This is not Single Elimination! Its SWISS !

That would be the biggest plot twist 5D's can offer!

...

From now on, I'm gonna name my Neos Deck, V (pronounce as Nu) HERO! For no specific reasons!

絶望は貴方のゴルドだ ! Despair (Hopelessness) is Your Goal!

I wonder why no one is concern about Hopeless Dragon or 絶望のドラゴンデーキ(I seriously still don't get why Hopeless Dragon) being affected by the banned list. I mean, I had not seen this deck in AGES, and I would love to drop by and say hi, asking how his doing right now.

LGQ : Yo, REDMD! How you doing right now?

REDMD : OH! You know the banned list! He think he can touch me! He think I'll get affected! Ha ha ha. Well, his right ...

That freaking Allure going to 1 really would be a problem to Hopeless Dragon. I mean, the ways to remove Dragons just went -1, and Allure was the easiest among them.

Not to mention Foolish Burial... And maybe Smashing Going to 3 would be really bad.

NOTE : I have never build a Hopeless Dragon deck before due to the fact that I can't afford a playset of REDMD, heck, I can't even afford 1.

My favorite Syncro Monster is now officially : BLACK FEATHER DRAGON (replacing Powertool)

Its effect is next to useless(who the hell in the META uses burn), its not as big as Red Daemon's Dragon (heck, look whose the OWNER), there are better lv8 to summon compare to this...

I proof this wrong as I dueled a banned list-less deck which had DDB, almost owned by it, if I had not summon this guy. Note that Against The wind just became costless when this guy is out!

舞い上がれ！　ブラックフェザー・ドラゴン！

蘇る！ライダー！ THE LEGEND IS BACK !

With 2 CyDra, 2 Treeborn and/maybe 2 Dandylion for our use now, I wonder why the hell every one is just thinking about Monarchs? Why isn't anyone talking about the Rider?

FYI, Rider = Raida/ライダー = Light and Darkness Dragon/ライトアンドダークネス・ドラゴン/光と闇の竜

Why? Cause the poor guy can't Special Summon meaning it would be dead meat in the eyes of Meta decks? Guess what! Well, I don't really know. Man, seriously, can this thing really stand up against them... Hmm, guess, I need to travel to a locals once this format settles down.

The Shining Darkness Pulls

Yesterday, went to Atria with Lam and bought packs of Shining Darkness. Being a good guy and don't search cause Lam just took a random 5 packs. He didn't got any holo, and I got Breeze (yes, BF orange chicken). Very happy, I went on and search 3 packs and got 3 holos, including Black Feather Dragon.

Made my day.

Traded Breeze today.

Went to Sungei Wang today with Lam, there was a Highlander tourney, which I wasn't interested.

Completely OWNED Lightlord/Lightsworn with my Jinzo Emperor deck. 5-0. I confirmed that March 1st is the death of LS.

Btw, my Koaki Meiru proof itself by going 4-2 with a GB.

RESULTS!!

So, for the past 5 days, I hosted a poll to find out what people want in the upcoming SD.

Results is : Type Support, closely following is a Character SD like the good old days. Imagine, STRUCTURE DECK JACK ATLAS!!

Well, is its type support, I hope it would be FIRE support cause I freaking love to burn people!

...

Who ever seen the preview of DT09 - Advent of the Bugatti Veyron ... Sorry, I mean Advent of the Veyron would guess why am I so excited.

Yes, its the introduction of the Gemknights archtype.

What are Gemknights? From the looks of things, I say, E HERO wannabe with their own Miracle Fusion , well its art is like Miracle Fusion but its actually an OVERPOWERed Polymerization!

The non-fusion Gemknights, unlike the normal E HEROs are VERY big, beatsticks level, while their fusion monsters are small (at least those shown). The effect monsters help search or Special Summon other Gemknights (They have their own STRATOS).

From the looks of things, all Gemknights can be used as Fusion materials as the Fusion monsters shown are all "One of the 3 normal Gemknight + any Gemknight".

The 3 Fusion shown :

Red Color Dude : The Earth with freaking Piercing. With 2500 atk, this is the stringest Gemknight showcased and fit to be an ace.

Blue Color Dude : Darkbright without piercing. With 2600 Def, this dude is one heck of a wall as it turns to defend after attacking. And it bounces back a card when its send to the graveyard(opposing to Darkbright's DESTROY)

Orange/Yellow Color Dude : Neos Knight + Flare Wingman! Enough said.

...

And, we have 2 more new archtypes, namely the Laval and Veyron. I'm pretty curious on what veyron is gonna be. Machines? Laval being Pyro as its a word play of Lava? or maybe Insect as its Laval?

Banned List

I hope the list posted by Baha, Mike and the lot is real. It looks real but 1 problem remain.

ITS NOT ON SHRIEK (at least when I'm posting this)

I'm holding back my emotions(mostly happy ones) back before its confirmed.

Thoughts :

Limited :
1. Tragodia is good, its a Gorz with a lot more gadgets(no puns) yet easier to summon, not quite expecting it to be limited thou (always thought it to be semi) but can't say its not fair. Problem is I have a playset...

2. Lumina instead of Judgment "Freakin" Dragoon? Well, we all know Charge is definitely a goner, but I didn't expect JD not getting anything at all. Well, still, its just shown us again, how useless that lame piece of excuse of a dragon is. Even Konami (or who ever made the banned list) think so. And they limited Demise last format. It doesn't take an idiot to see a junk. And by not touching it really does proof it.

3. Destiny Draw and Allure of Darkness at 1? This is crap! Firstly, I don't think of D Draw that be a problem, no, it is a problem, let it be at 2, but 1? Allure? I could see it back to 3, but guess he went up the wrong train and had gone the opposite direction, lucky for me I have more than 1 Dark based deck...

4. Magical Explosion - No more freaking FTKs?

5. Necro Guardna and Foolish Burial? I understand Foolish but Necro? Well, I do hate him but that doesn't mean you can just send him to the emergency room.... Oh well. Whats done is done.

For the others I have no comment

Semi :

1. CyDra, Treeborn and Dandy? I can imagine a HAPPY RAUZES. I don't understand this but I like it. Having CyDra back at 2 is gonna be fun!

2. The antiMETA brothers going to 2? And we are hearing some much on Konami never touching antiMETA. Oppression and Decree, I have no comment as I only run 2 at max, but Skill Drain? Well, I don't run them, but I rather lose it than BF and his lot (not LS, cause well... they ARE DEAD)

3. United We Stand. Oh Yeah! Power Tool FTW!!

Unlimited :

No comment!

After Thoughts:

I really think Absolute Zero should have been semied! So is Trishula, the freaking ice boundary genocide dragon!

...

I remind you that THIS HAS NOT BEEN COMFIRMED 100% YET so believe at your own risk.
