Jcube tourney 25/12/2011

A lot of funny events happened today such as shaun's win recorded as a loss (might be explained on his blog) sunny's win also become loss and some epic top deck skills

Deck used: Gravekeepers (Deck build by me and Jeremy Aw, he played the same build too)

Match 1 vs Bye

Match 2 vs Daniel Ang(Dark World)
XOX
Game 1: Sangan plus drag down = gg when his drag down show me 3 brow
Game 2: He despo for dw monsters and i mirror force his scar and beat him down soon after
Game 3: I crush his drag but his hand was foolish snow gate gate, which he then drew card destruction next turn and double grapha me to gg.

Match 3 vs Baha (Tour guide tengu plants)
XOX
Game 1: He was in control for the early game and hit my life to 1xxx and i fought back and had set skill drai and mind crush with necrovalley on field plus descendant. He had only 1 hand and top heavy storm which was followed by a bls. Showing us why he is Baha
Game 2: Gk beatdown although he stalled with dark mirror and reaper for very long until i gt my skill drain.
Game 3: tengu plus bulb plus tour guide plus spore = gg, my hand was bad and i even had to set veiler to attempt to survive the turn(which i did not)
Match 4 vs Ying Jun (Junk dopple)
OXO
Game 1: Sin cyber end direct him when he had 4k left and no cards on field.
Game 2: Gt cooked by royal decree
Game 3: He had decree but i had hand of gk and spells which via descendant and recruiter cleared his field and sin cyber end direct when he left 3900 lp

Match 5 vs Ash (Macro)
OO
Game 1: Beatdown with commandant
Game 2: I had a set snowman and he had 2 dd warrior lady, he went to exceed for blade heart and ate my snowman, subsequently i cydra plus skill drain plus sin stardust him to end him.

Result 3-2, same score as Jeremy Aw
A more stable build with skill drain bur more veilers are needed according to Jeremy Aw. We make a decision nt to side anything for dark world and i guessed tat paid the price.

23 December 2011 kit shop mini tourney

Deck used: Spy inzectors to cover up the lack of gigamantis(which i tot is really needed)

Match 1 vs Yingjun (junk dopple)
XX
Game 1: He ran riot with syncros and i had no response to it.
Game 2: A mini fight back when i was left with 200 lifepoints but with only 2 card in his hand he used dark hole and i solumned it, eating a fatal bls

15 December 2012 Clementi Kit shop Qualifer

Deck used: Twilight wyvern
Match 1 vs Alvin Nah (Tour guide rabbit ragia)
OXO
Game 1: He din hav monsters at the start and i was allowed to farm out a wyvrn which led to JD. He also mistake by not dust shooting immediately after i draw allowing me to sp a judgement dragon out. We both knew it was a dustshoot cause he potted it out
Game 2: He started strong with fissure rabbit and tourguide which becomes dollka and i had no outs
Game 3: He had d fissure but i cleared it then used JD to clear field and direct with 2 cards in deck left and with him having 2600 lifepoints

Match 2 vs Calvin (Ninja Dino Dragon)
XX
Game 1: His repeated supply of monsters from hanzo and gold ninja killed my 'gd' hand of 2 trag 3 sorceror 1 jd and drawing solar recharge bulb carrier on the following turns.
Game 2: He just had too many super tranformations after i cleared a D.Fissure

Realised that after game 1 i always have to side to beatdown, really need to analyse how to side better, din run any chaos soldier today and din see a problem with it....probably due to my magi magi obsession made me run 3 sorceror and also for DAD to come out easiy which i only came out 1 time in casual. It sucks to mill JD out but its gd that wyvern comes out when 2 jd in grave cause i dun play any grave retrieval cards like monster reincarnation. To fight d fissure i guess i have to side return from DD hahaha.

What was i up to the past days? Update

Well clearing homework i got like mountains of it, other than that this was what i was up toQ

Well its a really lucksack deck, considered increasing the amount of lightlord and solar recharge but at the same time future fusion is also important. Dun really like to use Ravine as i find it slow, really essential to draw banishing monsters from grave cards or im really cooked with a stuck hand. Lavalral Chain actually does an extra mill lol but does it miss timing? Nt really sure haha. From the deck build u can notice that banishing dragons on field for red eyes metals is not the main beat down way. But still its essential via future fusion or milled out. Any comments so i can make it better?

A Minor Update

Haven been playing these past days, most probably gonna head down TTZ Trading on Friday to test build............

Was thinking of cards to counter inzecter cards, though of a couple and also seeked advice from fellow duelist

1. Effect Veiler (Well this card is self explanatory although the inzecters can side deck d fissure lol)
2. Eradicating Aerosol ( Well given that damsel and centipede can exceed, i doubt its highly useful lol)
3. Compulsory Evaculation Device (Wait for damsel or centipede to be equipped with hornet then bounce? Lol i doubt hornet has effect though, cause i ask Mr Baha before if u bounce it back hornet does not activate its effect)
4. Chain Disappearance (With Damsel at 1000 attack, definitely a good side deck choice but with inzecters maining lance and siding decrees, highly doubtful of its ability to break insezcter stunts)
5. Macro Cosmos ( Like above with Decrees + Mst and heavy storm flying around, once again i doubt its abilities to stay on field although it being on field is a good deterrence to Inzecters)
6. Shadow Imprisoning Mirror- Hornet can't equip but bomb still can go off, Thanks to many for pointing this out, My mistake sorry.(Edited as of 3 December)

So what do u think are the best side deck?

Match 1 vs Dylan (Zexuan's ascetism six samurai)
OXX
Game 1: Offering then control from there after an inital stalling due to both players no monsters

I took the commandant and descendant using stele the turm before he pot so he made a bad mistake.

Match 2 vs Alvin (TGAA)
OXX
Game 1: Royal tribute hit only 2 then he fight back but he choose not to blackrose and ate a mirror force which then i gain control
Game 2: Ended quickly cause i had nothing while he tot i had something. He nearly did not want to trishula which would have cost him the victory but he still tori and i gt 0 outs to it.
Game 3: Was in control until he exceed Black Mist and whack my sin cyber end. From then on went downslope since blackmist attack is 2100 after attacking sin cyber end and i could not find a way to out it. Royal decree locked my backrow down while i did not draw my mst

Match 3 vs Junjie (Agent Angel)
OO
Shared as usual when i see him so winner just go up and cont playing
Game 1: Beatdown with sin cyber end
Game 2: He do stunt and had brionac leviar librarian on field at a point of time but i compulse the brionac and then he ate dark hole after thinking that my final backrow is a mirror force (Which is true) Then i just sin cyber end beatdown on a turn he nvr set monster

Match 4 vs Sin Kwan (Debris Junk Dopple with Vertz Mandrago)
OO
Game 1: Game dragged as both player had nothing and until i drew sin cyber end i killed him when he had like 3 backrow which are 2 call and 1 avarice
Game 2: Game dragged very long and he tried to equip armory arm to my sin cyber end then use bulb to sucide (I tot i eat 4000 but i realise i will eat 100 only) Anw i mst my armory arm to make him eat 3900 and then on gain control.

Match 5 vs Daniel Ang (GK Debris junk dopple)
OXO
Game 1: Royal tribute then beat down
Game 2: Tio beatdown plus trishula and friends
Game 3: Start with a hand of 2 veiler and a wand, slowly fight back and flush when he do his stunts, later on my sin cyber end whack his spy and he say he no target when only 1 spy in grave so i presume his other set card is oso spy = bad hand
Yes, my record against Daniel is now 3-1 LOL...anw 4 wins for a gk is good, have been struggling the whole of November till now which is 19 days ??

Top 8 vs Jun Cai (Grave BF)
Game 1: Tio beatdown thru vayu effect after he icarus
Game 2: Beat him down with 100 lifepoint left, i tribute at start he whole hand spell trap

Top 4 vs Shaun Lim (Agent Ritual Angel)
OXX
Game 1: I royal tribute he instant scoop
Game 2: Game drag long and i killed his herald with 2 effect veiler and torrential but had no outs to his earth and hyperion then, my 2 solid backrow valley and sin cyber end die to his 1 heavy storm
Game 3: Stand no chance against him after he can come out 2 more maju aft i warning 1 -.-

Din play with Max as he took the roach and i took 10 booster pack which opened crap then me and junjie just bought the rest and it still suck.
Result: 3rd/4th
Comments: Pleased with my performance, but i having issue with maxx c and royal tribute in my hand = Dilema, better solve it quick or i foresee a hard deck building ahead. Anw Blackmist is Agent's new weapon against GK NO JOKE.

Order of Chaos plus a little follow up

Alright many blogs have expressed their views towards Order of Chaos, personally i feel that there are a few cards that are decent yet not broken........

Inzecter series- Bomb and search like free
Mainspring mouse- Rofl u dun solumn him is like the ocg tour guide from grave for mainsprings
Mainspring Honey- Yay we got our own emersblade....
Darksword the Head soldier of dark demon world- Dark world and many dark archetypes solution to agent angel....just equip krystia and hyperion to it and be a boss.
The turtle that once will be called god- Good card for those legendary ocean users
Wind-Up Zenmaighty- U are forcing me to play mainspring now no joke
Compulsory Evolution- Vishal will be wondering why asia plus finals not held 4 weeks later....this is like test tiget for evoldos, if ur evoldo 'gk spy' works then u will really advantage lol
Spiral Spring- Looks good but think about it there are only 2 sets of possible targets.....u will really need manufacture to make this card useful...u dun wan to have a kitty cat and draw this card and laugh till omg......
Ninjitsu Art of Transformation- There was much hype about this so it definitely has some value
Huge Revolution Reversal- Good Against most cards but of course there is starlight road, given that this is a counter trap means ur opponent cannot chain speed spell 2 traps to it........ but this one no free 2500 attack beat stick



Update: Just saw my rankings, it is -2 and i believe that should not be so.....anw now i have a new target which is to destroy Rank A people and as such i can get high points hehe and at the same time they lose more points since they are of higher rankings...........


Hitlist on the scale of 1-10 where 10 means very hard to kill and 1 = sure free food....? denotes i have not played u before or i can't gauge ur skills.

Pls note that these are my own opinions and should not be used as any flaming such as so and so is a noob or so on without my permission hehe, for those who feel offended, once again i apologise and say this is just what i feel of your standards.

Target by End of November = Take down at least 3 of these targets and scrub at most once to the A ranking people...... In case you still dunno where the website is, it can be found here

29/10/2011 Lorong Ah Soo team tourney

Jeremy once told me that LAS tourney always hav ppl more lucksack......mayb i understand that today.
Deck used: Skill Drain Gravekeepers
Wesley and Weemin as teammates yet again
Match 1 vs Team Sherwyn consist of Stark (GK) Jeremy Aw(TGSAA) Yew Long(Machina Solidarity Gadgets)

Me vs Yew Long
XX
Game 1: I royal tribute him and he throw 3 but he open gadget and solidarity and when i got rid of gadgets he got a gearframe and fortress and just run over like crazy. After clearing again he left 1 facedown and solidarity and i had compulse set long ago and a malefic cyber end dragon, was anticipating bottomless then i would bounce and end him but he open solemn judgement then aft that is gearframe and fortress to end me.
Game 2: 2 DD Warrior Lady in first 2 turns prove to be useless as gearframe took it away. Royal tribute 2 for 2 with me throwing recruiter and him throwing 1 red and 1 fortress. When i top deck monster he prison it, that happened 2 times and followed by some epic gearframe and cannon story, after clearing it he went again and again until i even saw machina force wtf lol. Not gonna blame anyone, Skill Drain din work at all against him so is fair to say i scrubbed real bad.

Wee min lost to stark 2-1 and Even though Wesley won 2-0 it was already over as their 2 members had already won.

Now that all my techs are seen by some and used, need to go back to the drawing board again. Skill Drain its a gg tech.
To add on, Weemin was at heartland mall today and wanted to cab but we went to the wrong side of road and i said walk down can reach shop until i saw a bus stop and realise no 113 bus which brings us to the shop. We cab and THEY forget to pay me ARGH. Anyway Thanks to Jacky Lim for telling the judge we will be slightly late. Thank You
Not much of a ruling dispute today, Bryan is a good judge haha (i dun mean to flame ppl but if u read the amount of flame inside then lol)

Tourney report at jcube 22/10/2011

Today was a really low turnout day of 11 participants so its 4 swiss round with top 4
Deck used: Gravekeepers with a lot of staples gone(asia format)

Match 1 vs Stark (Tengu scraps)
XX
Game 1: He flash a tengu and a couple of turns later scrap dragon to run over my deck which has no answers to scrap dragon after draining all resources on the 3 tengus
Game 2: Same thing happened, except with heavy storm this time clearing my backrow and drawing starlight road aft that against scrap dragon. Early game got dominated by cyber dragon and had no malefics drawn

Match 2 vs Ying Jun (TG Agent Angel)
OO
Game 1: Necrovalley and solid backrow means i control him throughout plus royal tribute to take his soldier and tragoedia out.
Game 2: The use of chain disappearance and bottomless means even when my valley got msted, hyperion and his little children cannot do a thing.

Match 3 vs Alvin (TG Agent Angel)
OO
Game 1: He took my stardust dragon using tragoedia effect then he summoned venus and i opened bottomless and he forgot to negate using stardust then it went all downhill from there.
Game 2: He opened decree and used heavy storm to take out 2 of my backrows but i had more in hand and slowly build up the numbers again to turn the tables, his cyber dragon got contacted by my sin cyber end lol.

Match 4 vs Vishal (BF asia format)
OO
Game 1: Sin cyber end just kept wacking at him
Game 2: He black rose clear field and i used starlight road which he negated with warning and i had no hand but he did not have enough firepower to kill me so i build up the advantage with wonder wand a couple of turns later after using traps that i top draw to hold out

Top 4 vs Stark (Tengu scrap)
XOO
Game 1: Tengu again proves to be the mvp
Game 2: Managed to drain all his resources this time and win
Game 3: Royal tribute proves to be effective this time as i threw his 3 card hand of full monsters and had my monsters to whack for the game.

Top 2 vs Gabriel (TG Agent Angel) The one that owns the pampers blog
XOX
Game 1: Heavy storm plus armory arm venus daigusta and soldier means at 6300 lp and a facedown spy is not enough to win it.
Game 2: lost my necrovalley to his mst and his hyperion jumped out when i had little life and i compulsed it and it was a good gamble as he din hav any agents and only drew them the turn after he died (his next top deck)
Game 3: Heavy storm plus dark hole and hyperion and earth in the following turns means it was a victory for him despite me chain disappearning his balls and tg striker

Result 2nd
Had good training with TGAA today, just what i needed

A quick ranking tourney update 16 October 2011

Deck used: Gravekeepers Asia format (meaning i din change from the previous tourney report)

Match 1 vs Dillon(sry if i spell ur name wrongly) WWBF
OO
Game 1: He made ancient fairy dragon and killed my necrovalley, followed by a dad but he only bomb 1 of my backrow as he had sirocco and vayu in grave, he chose not to rush me but to icarus me later on and ate my starlight road which allowed me to gain back my momentum.
Game 2: He went first set 1 face down defence monster and 1 backrow, i use recruiter rai-oh to wack the monster next turn which turns out to be a vayu and i proceeded to use necrovalley and royal tribute revealing my whole hand of no monsters while he threw Gorz and puppet plant away (been some time since i see ppl using this) his other 2 cards were nobleman of cross out and mind control. After a few direct from raioh he sucessfully had shura on the field and mind control my raioh and made hope which got destroyed by widespread ruin lol.

Match 2 vs Weihan (Darkworld)
OXX
Game 1: Chose to go for a commandant beatdown instead of throwing it to replace his necrovalley, was rushing for tution at 3pm and then was 2.52pm so i wanted to quick end and i got the win as he did not draw any dw monsters
Game 2: He activated return from dd bringing back a removed grapha from gate's effect, i compulsed it as i wanted to use my spy to direct him for the win, he had only 300 lp left after paying. I ate a book of moon instead and he drew gate the next turn paste it and had monster reborn and grapha = double grapha to end me
Game 3: Raven plus drag down proves too much for my 1 watcher, made a misplay with widespread ruin opening on raven when grapha is on field.......LOL. Had 2 backrow but tio heavy storm as i din see that coming cause he set 2 backrow also and i tot dark world supposed to burst cards 1 by 1 but im wrong again. the other destroyed card was dark hole rofl, then got rushed and lost again.

He went on to beat ash/lingwong the macro guy lol.

Overall im pleased as this was to try out the deck and happy that i got at least a win haha.

On another note, i might be experimenting a new gk build if i can get the cards lol.

Asia plus tourney qualifier 15 October 2011

Deck used: Gravekeepers
Teammates = Wesley and Weemin

First round = BYE since there were 10 teams

2nd round vs Team Arsonist
Anthony (Dark plant) vs Wesley
1 - 2
Zhi (machina gadget) vs Weemin
2- 1
Me vs Ernest (TG agent angel)
2-1
Game 1: Allowed him to syncro into android using reaper and earth, he still has another gantetsu with 2 materials on it but earlier on he attempted to remove a venus when valley was on field hence revealing his hand to be a hyperion and venus from earth's search. Android beat my commandant away but i had a set spy and 2 recruiter as i could not beat the reaper. Then my spy called out descendant and with necrovalley long on field, descendant tribute recruiter and destroyed android and searched out assailant and all wack gantetsu to reduce his 4200 lp to 0.
Game 2: I managed to have more resource but his mst on necrovalley and appearance of bls changed the whole game. My starlight road and chain d both were set and were useless against him. I some how top deck my core destroyer but it got oranged light.
Game 3: I royal tribute he drop whole hand which has 3 balls. Went on to control and he did the mst top deck bls stunt but i had mirror force set and he removed my recruiter and next turn i sin cyber end him as he had only 1k lp with no hand.

Round 3 vs Team Chieflion
Weemin vs Johann
1 - 2
Wesley vs Vishal
2 - 1
Me vs Bixuan
0-2

Game 1: I royal tribute him he drop his honest but later on a stupid judge ruling put me into jeopardy. I equip my wonder wand to recruiter and he asked judge if lance would make my mob lost target. In actual fact it will not and judge say it will and rendered my wand to a waste. Then it happened that it actually still equips to recruiter and i was only told of tat a couple of turns later. Thanks judge for making me have the losing hand. Bixuan already used his heavy storm and i had widespread ruin plus mirror force in hand. Subsequently i went downstream when my sin cyber end tio mst and venus beatdown
Game 2: Had a wonderful spell trap hand with a stele and only 1 gk and when another gk came in the form of recruiter, he had dark mirror on the field already. Lost to his eventual beatdown


Result = crash at top 4

Humans make mistake once in a while, i wun blame Bixuan for the defeat but i blame myself for not convincing the judge enough and the judge who did not consult the rest of the people. A wrong ruling could have changed the thing in a blink....how true that was. Once again i would say that my official tourney route has never been lucky. First it was chard then it was 9th place and now its this.....dunno what awaits me further. Hoping for better luck next time then......

What was i up to for the past 2 weeks?

Well u might have noticed there were no tourney reports for the last 2 weeks, the reason for this is simple- i was busy exploring a viable gk build and obviously i din feel that it was good enough to play tourney with it. My wwbf can beat poh choon's tgaa but my gks lost against him badly. Ever since i have been trying with new builds of gk. Some might have been doing this but o have not played with sin cyber end for quite some time.....will need to try that. Will have to fix a couple of things to make it tourney ready.
Till then cya

A update

Sry for the long time of no updates as i was busy with my promos (seriously hoping to promote lol) The release of Photon Shockwave in english is coming soon and as usual, a couple of tcg exclusives to put one's attention at. The following cards caught my eyes.

Sources from ygo wiki.

1. Photon Sabre Tiger 3 star beast Attk 2000 Defence 800
Effect-When this card is Normal or Flip Summoned: You can add 1 "Photon Sabre Tiger" from your Deck to your hand. If you do not control another "Photon Sabre Tiger", this card loses 800 ATK.

Comments: Seriously a 3 star yellow gadget? Except when u sp this u cannot search but i see this as another avenue for offering gadgets to exploit especially when Zenmaines the so called new and improved gantetsu is out. Definitely with dt 13 coming out, i will get 3 of this to play offering gadget tiger(lol)

2. Wind up Rabbit Beast warrior 3 stars attk 1400 defence 900
Effect: During either player's turn: You can target 1 face-up "Wind-Up" monster you control; banish it until your next Standby Phase. This effect can only be activated once while this card is face-up on the field. Effect Unconfirmed.

Comments: Lets just assume this effect is true, wind up will be more playable as magician can leech on this card's effect and its just a free activation every turn. Yipee

3. Evolzar Dolkar XYZ dragon monster, requires 2 dino type monster Attk 2300 defence 1700
Effect:When an Effect Monster's effect activates: You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card; negate the activation and destroy it.

Comments: This is just another alternative to Ragia, probably those who are afraid of rykos and stuff can use this. Situtational but Ragia gives more protection than this guy.

Overall a decent pack but not as good as Tengus and Tour guides.... Probably Photon Sabre Tiger is the better one among the 3 (my personal opinion haha)

Deck analysis: Yew Long's gk

If u have read the sg ygo forum, u would probably know that 2 gks top the saturday locals at asia card shop. Surprisingly both made it to top 8 with a score of 3-2 perhaps highlighting the inconsistenct it has. In this post i would highlight the speciality of yew long's skill drain gks using the information i gathered in the 2 matchs we played on saturday. His gk compromises of skill drain and the malefic cyber end combo, a couple of cydras and importantly no royal tribute. Well its technically insane tech to not main royal tribute but with ur monster count being high, i dun see why we should nt do that. Of course nt to forget he has rai oh whether it mains or sides is unsure but rai oh is a gd tech in gk, necrovalley and raioh creates a little soft lock of unable to remove nor pot nor use reborn. Technically it puts agents into tough spots but a simple gantetsu can lure the raioh out. Notable that he sides dark mirror even if he plays gks. With tat being said, one would argue the effectiveness of recruiter descendant and spy but he does not run spy nor descendant, at least not when i play him. Tat frees up 5 deck space for his cyber and cyber end. 7 tools of the bandit is also notable in his deck, this card was heavily criticised for its usefulness as many ppl said tat 3 mst plus heavy storm results in 7 tools being technically useless but its worth noting that it beats trap stun and as a anti meta, it is important to negate opposing traps. Of course siding it out would be a possibility against trap scarce decks and siding in this card is not a bad tech.

In overall, in the era of metas, it is good to know that the gks continue to be one of the surviving anti metas. Especially lightlords hav seen their hands flying away against gk matchups.

However it is worth noting that to piliot an anti meta is very demanding of skills and i definitely needs to work on it more.

ACS tourney 17/9/2011

Deck used: Gravekeepers (Since my sabers are not done building yet)

Match 1 vs Jacky (LightLord)
OXO
Game 1: I royal tribute he drop whole hand
Game 2: He 3 judgment dragon me
Game 3: I royal tribute his whole hand

Match 2 vs Jun Jie (Vahalla Agent Angel)
XOO
Game 1: Tio tricked to flush and he rush me with hyperion and monster reborn
Game 2: Royal tribute his hand
Game 3: Royal tribute him. He drop from 6 cards to 2 vahalla in hand.

Match 3 vs Yew Long (Skill Drain Gk)
OO
Game 1: Had outs to his cards. with spy and descendant slowly taking his resources out, his cards like starlight road were useless against my deck.
Game 2: My Recruiter just beat him till his life red and he drag on for a while but it was not enough.

Match 4 vs Johann (Debris Junk Dopple)
XOX
Game 1: He do his stunts and had more resources
Game 2: Royal Tribute to control
Game 3: He top tomato and make T.G librarian with bulb and ran over me and i drew nothin that could help

Match 5 vs Stark (TG Agent Angel)
XX
Game 1: He had Earth mst and trap dust shoot to deny my valley tribute combo
Game 2: Drew 2 commandant and 1 necrovalley with valley on field

Made it to top 8 still, with yew long johann alvin junjie kenneth stark and yuyao. Yew Long was very happy to make it when i told him he made it, i guess his tiebreaker of me and junjie was high enough for him......

Top 8 vs Stark (TG Agent Angel) Agreed to share with winner going up
XOO
Game 1: Once again he had earth and friends
Game 2: Mind crush plus dust shoot but he sent back rai-oh instead of aoj quarantine and quarantine had played its part.
Game 3: Obtained control with spy and quarantine, he made a small mistake of not setting venus when i had necrovalley on field 1 bottomless set, 1 destroyer on field. I top pot and took commandant and went over his 2k life.He had traegoedia in hand so not setting the venus and it cost him the win. Although u could argue its the same but i dunno if i would wack with core destroyer or commandant first.

Top 4 vs Johann (Debris Junk Dopple)
XOO
Game 1: Couldn't Remember the game
Game 2: Remember royal tributing him and he kept his cards
Game 3: Spy once again generated advantage as his own royal decree is on the field

No grudges to Johann......

Top 2 vs Yew Long ( Skill drain gk)
XOO
Game 1: I solumn his cyber and he solumn me and ran over descendant to end me as i had 400 lp
Game 2: We both keep burning each other and my spy went for a direct attack as he had empty field and less than 1000 life
Game 3: We kept exchanging blows and i reached a point where i had only 800 lifepoint, he had 1 facedown and 1200 left. i had descendant and spy in hand and i was thinking if i should go for the win but i decided to set the spy and it paid off as the facedown is actually bottomless and he drew mst which i then flip spy and call recruiter which got bottomlessed and i summoned descendant and blew away the mst which he chain on my mirror force and i went for the game.

Result: 1st and took parallel bls and stark got dark soul by finishing 5th/6th

Gravekeepers is a fun and stressful deck, a couple of changes from the showdown one and things went bettle than expected although still 3-2.........Thanks Jeremy for ur starlight road and 3 recruters, really helped a lot. Next stop Sabers? Lol tats a doubt after the dark soul ruling...

3 September 2011 Asia Card Shop tourney

The deck i was using today was really unexpected because i din expect to get my recruiters from Jeremy until he facebooked me today and told me ok, so i reached there he was waiting liao lol cause we agree to lend each other some cards. Ok back to main point today was to play test and i dunno why it had pretty satisfactory results although i must say i found a lot of flaws in my deck.

Deck used: Gravekeepers (Lol pohseng playing gk? Angels kinda unattractive cause a lot of ppl playing it. Then i found out i was the only gk there, lucky not to meet any dark world. Kinda know the ppl there who would use dark world but still anything is possible)

Match 1 vs Ball Snow (Agent Angel Gellenduo Build)
Apparently the organizer's comp got switched off and lost the pairings so we repaired LOL.

Match 1 vs Samuel (LightsWorn)
OXO
Game 1: Controlled with spy and necrovalley, his guardna unable to be removed and he took too much damage. Veiler helped too
Game 2: Forgot to tell him traegoedia cannot copy level and allowed him to do so and
he syncroed, but i still lost as he had jd and friends while i ran out of advantage like water.
Game 3: GK control and beatdown, he topdrawed wolf and it nvr look like he was able to win that game when roachy came out i think.

Match 2 vs Sam the msia champion (TG Agent Angel)
XX
Match 1: Hyperion and Scrap dragon on field, i top dark hole but he had another hyperion in hand.
Match 2: Hyperion and scrap dragon, a useless struggle to thin deck but nothing comes out of it.

Match 3 vs Johann (TG Agent Angel)
OXO
Match 1: Typical GK control and won
Match 2: Lost advantage quickly and he rush me with hyperion Ganetsu and TG striker
Match 3: Drew no Gk monsters at start but had many outs to his cards, he decided not to solemn my disappearance on his earth, then i blind mst his judgement away and followed by bottomless on his venus and another veiler on earth. By then my gk reinforcements has arrived plus 2 stele and royal tribute making my hand 6 and his hand 0 at one point as i tribute away his krystia and hyperion. He clamed tat i wasn't friendly LOL (i tot so too haha)

Match 4 vs Ball Snow (Agent Angel Gellenduo) i guess u cannot run away from the duel
OXO
Game 1: Controlled and won, although he trap stun my starlight road lol.
Game 2: Krystia beat me down if im not wrong
Game 3: Dragged very long because i wasn't able to draw gk while he drew bad too, had allure but no dark monster and when i had one i summoned it cause its core destroyer, double core destroyer and book of moon and veiler in hand won the game eventually.

Match 5 vs Anders aka DS , Yes the duelingdays one (Machina karakuri)
XX
Game 1: Had a lot of traps and veilers but he recovered faster than my gk
Game 2: Royal tribute him but only his gearframe went down, then he revealed mst mind crush limiter and decree, had no outs to his stun with decree and mind crush there.

3-2 but Sam took the win from Shaun and he pulled me up with his high tiebreaker so i 7th place

Top 8 vs Alvin (Pure Agent Angel)
OXO
Game 1: Controlled again, he had venus and a warning set, i flip my assailant up and he dunno effect so i told him tat i attack can change position so he immediately warning it (he had honest lol) I stele back and wack his venus and direct with spy. He lost the next turn as he cannot remove venus from grave to sp hyperion with necrovalley on field.
Game 2: Veiler plus smashing ground and mst on my torrential and my decision to not set necrovalley lead him to a quick finish, took less than 5 mins to end me for that game
Game 3: Was very worried as i had a bottomless set and he had 5 hand compared to my 2 hand, but he had nothing and i was able to quickly bounce back and take the game. I tot i would have lost seriously.
Top 4 vs Shaun (Anti-meta beat)
OO
Game 1: i went first set a spy and had necrovalley in hand but chose not to activate, set a facedown card and ended. He sp cyber summon kycoo wack my spy with cyber and i called out recruiter and he wacked it, then after that it went uphill for me with my royal tribute taking away his sorceors. Rememberd that he had dck in the middle of the game but i bottomless it away and my 2500 defense spy sp assailant then it went uphill.
Game 2: Had smashing ground and stuff plus 2 royal tribute to remove his sorceror and veilers, with rai-oh on field punching him and till he had no lifepoints.
Nt really surprised as he runs a lot of monsters, so royal tribute and gk are his weakness. Can be said to be my easiest matchup today.

Top 2 vs Anders aka DS again lol (Machina Karakuri)
XOX
He asked me wad i wanted and we both wanted Parallel BLS and not the gold trishula so we played.
Game 1: Bureido x2 plus burei plus landoise come out and run over a poor recruiter and gg me LOL. After game 1 Benjamin the judge came and gave us the prize of luster soldier and gold tori, i put the tori at my side and the bls at his side and he joked abt me being too over negative haha, i just couldn't get away with the game 5 shocker as he showed me the full blown karakuri blow that i could not do during Worlds qualifier.
Game 2: I started quite badly but it turned out to be better as i kept warning bottomless and veiler his stuff, eventually won with more resources than him.
Game 3: He used black rose(girl and soldier made) to bomb field on his 2nd turn, i solumned that, i had 4k lp a facedown stele a commandant and necrovalley on field. He sp cyber dragon and throw 2 fortress to sp 1 fortress, followed by a limiter removal.

Result: 2nd ( Very pleased as i din expect to go so far)

Comments: Some games i felt very helpless while some games i was full of confidence as i pulled of the spy descendant recruiter combo. Allure of darkness is a stuck hand card and i should take it out. Tingjun commented on my side deck as 'special' and after some thoughts i think he din say wrongly. I din use my 2 dprison and divine wrath at all. I only used dyna and snowman 1 time each. With most of the time using my core destroyer, chain disappearance and also 3rd veiler, yes i main 2. Much thanks to jeremy for lending me starlight road and 3 recruiter, he said i helped him do some gk research LOL, i was also doing research lol, i realised that the main decked 1 rai-oh was not bad but 1 assailant was indeed not enough, should not have put allure inside, put me in hard spots lots of time today. A bit of side decked skills learn too, i guess gk recruiter should be the last gk to come out, dun really see any new gks coming out although it would be good. Overall, i learned a lot from today's testing and that was the most important part of it. Pondering if i should play this against showdown.............this deck turns out to be strong competitor too, probably nt much ppl expected this deck to be played.......but still i need more brushing up.

Game 3: Lost advantage to kycoo and sprit reaper and gged

Match 3 vs Willy (Lightsworn)
OXO
Game 1:I control him with quick end
Game 2: He pwnt me with epic skills
Game 3: I set up an unbeatable trap for him to fall in. hyperion on field with earth and ganetsu, hand with venus and orange light while having a set bottomless and he has only 3 cards in his hand. Turns out to be JD zephyros and guardna

Match 4 vs Shelton (Lightsworn)
OO
Game 1: Had all outs to him, solumn judgement his bls and warning his gorz
Game 2: Snipe hunter sniping his ryko and bottomless, i trishula his aoj catastor and wack him while he had 2 set cards and he said ok, i flashed krystia in mp2 and he conceded the following turn.

Match 5 vs Junjie (GB)
OXO
Game 1: Honest control
Game 2: Trap dustshoot him but minus 1 as he had no monsters but a bunch of pro traps
Game 3: Fought him after some top decking

We shared and since his parings after round 4 is 3rd he let me win and in the end he 8th also.

Top 8 vs Marcus (Tour guide Agent Angel)
XOX
Game 1: Allure plus mind control my venus plus 2 hyperion = i gg
Game 2: I struggled but eventually pulled through as i had hyperion in hand.
Game 3: We started off almost equally until his tour guide sangan and earth gain him much advantage, i use 2 venus to waste away his 2 orange light then i hyperion wack him, he dark hole and then my kyxoo remove both his dark in graveyard as i previously chain d his tour guide. He top draw kycoo wack me and i top draw orange light, i ended my turn. He had 12oo lp while i had 1400 then. He top draw nothing and ended. I top draw a ball and i look at his grave and realise he had 1 venu left, i set my ball and ended while he really top d a venus the next turn and ran over my ball. Followed by rounds of top draw, he mind control my facedown orange light and din even look at it (i think he was pressured by the crowd making large hoo ha) , and use raioh to direct me and i book of moon it, he returned the orange light to me without looking at it again. I top draw warning (useless) and set it, he pot next turn and took mst to blast my warning and he asked wad is my facedown as he din see it just now. I kindly told him its orange light and i kept my cards as i knew nothing in the deck could stop rai-oh as i dark hole his venus earlier. Therefore i lost.

The following match i din play as i gtg and just took prize and sold and left.

Thanks to Wee min and co for helping me with the side deck, adding kycoo in before the tourney started, now i have a better idea of what to side against the new meta. Whether to stick to current agent angels is another question i hav to ponder about. At the current state, i wun be able to make it to sg showdown 2nd day, gotta work on it more. Snipe hunter did its fair share of work today, was happy as i din row 1 or 6 while using its effect.

could this build be viable? need some advices here......ignore the tune warrior in the side dec

k lol

Update for this week

Went to Bishan but i did not play in tourney sadly due to personal reasons, went around and look at people playing sad to say there were some sad and happy moments. U can take the following as rants/personal thoughts haha.

1. Some agent angel player played earth and while searching, he places 3 shine balls together. What type of playstyle this is will be judged by urself. Though i think that player does not need to resort to this type of tactics.
2. Sad day for Alvin, his deck wasn't consistant and i tried to mend it a bit but i guess september is just too unpredictable
3. Grats Baoyuan on getting into top 8, dunno how well he did though, feel a bit sad for kenneth aas he endured morphling jar plus card destruction and raven from Baoyuan...this is just how sad life is ahh.
4. SG Showdown preparations are now underway, will need to find a good build to excel in it. Will only hav a couple of exposures to sept banlist tourney before it is showdown....................

Formula tend to give u gg draws so dun really rely a lot on formula.

No 16 Ruler of color- shock ruler

Solution to offering gadgets? Declare magic then trap then monster effect and lock ur opponent down? Effect unconfirmed though but if u are allowed to use this card's effect once per turn, can it be used on 3 copies of this card? If yes then omg Offering Gadgets top meta liaoz sadly

National Day tourney at Asia Card Shop 9/8/2011

Deck used: TG tengu plant no change from the saturday deck.

Round 1 vs Daniel (was confident cause i won him 2 times before despite he's singapore champ la) (he used debris junk dopple)
OXX
Game 1: Tengu and warning and plant system made me have more resources than him
Game 2: Control build backfired me as he read my move perfectly and had outs to my wanghu. So wanghu become gghu lol.
Game 3: Stick on to control build which still backfired me. Most notably oppression got destroyed by dust tornado.

He told me to win more to make his tie-breaker look good, of course i tried as he is one of those serious players in the game but after that very friendly one.

Round 2 vs Klyne (GB)
OO
Game 1: Trunade plus plant system and tengu
Game 2: He open oppression and made a couple of mistakes so i can win without much difficulty.

Round 3 vs Bao Yuan (Dark world, hes the Kah Meng friend that played with me on saturday so we very friendly to each other)
OO
Game 1: Once again tengu the star player, he tried to clear my tengus but i made most of it.
Game 2: Had formula armory arm librarian and wonder mag on the field, #$$@$!# no blade gunner or shooting star in my extra deck !@#@!#@!#!@, his dealings top draw a dark hole but i had tengus still.....lol again tengu star player.

Round 4 vs Darius (Agent angel, very pro strategist)
Game 1: Open decree and spam field for win.
Game 2: Game took very long but i use TG-EM1 to swap a striker for his krystia before using rush rhino to end him. Time was called at the end part of the game.
Game 3: He went first and used earth effect and used pot to get monster reborn, next turn open decree so wad can i say?

Score 2-2 (Din make it at all)

Random rants: Top 16 or Top 8 the organiser got problem deciding...
Tables not enough so must play 2 batch, end of 4 round swiss 8pm plus?
Darius is a pro strategist- play timeout, can think over 5 mins to whether solumn a bottomless traphole, 1 turn can take 5-10 mins? I know my sister called me and tell me to go home early cause dinner is cooked and everyone is waiting for me but pls dun take ur time, i dun really believe that is so hard to decide whether solumn would be appropriate against a venus. If u wan to aim for time out then i really speechless, i admit that my deck cannot beat u in a time out and u win but i guess most duelist wants to win/lose with lp to 0 and not by some time constrains. Of course u can argue i was having a higher advantage blar blar blar but im just stating my pov which u can disagree with. But being so friendly, i dun even want to tell the judge.......

Sad that i din help Daniel get into top 8.......

Tats it signing off now, Bryan did a lot for the tourney today and deserve some form of credit. KUDOs to him haha. If i get 1200 views by 12am 10/8/2011 Singapore time, i will post my tg tengu plant build hehe

6 August 2011 tourney report at J-Cube

Hi its me zzxiaoboizz again, disappeared last week as i was too busy with school and projects. Went to bishan tourney on friday and scrubbed very badly with TG- Flameveil.

Round 1 vs Lively Kah Meng (Junk Dopple)
OXO
Game 1: Tengu plus 1 for 1 means control and off to game 2
Game 2: Monster reborn plus sorceror and grow up bulb and scrap dragon means game 3
Game 3: Make a terrible Baha mistake of having no 1 star tuner as i have sided out and yet leaving 1 for 1 to be in the deck......... But still won as opponent was lower in resources.
He reminded me to side it out next time, will remember that one.

Round 2 vs Classy Akira (Machina gadgets) He plays with class lol.

OO
Game 1: He fiendish chain my first lone fire then on next turn fiendish chain my 2nd lone fire, some how i made black rose but he used the TG pot of avarice and drew 2. i was left with 1 card in hand, he had a +2 but i had a tengu after that and a bulb in grave meant more fun and control.

Game 1: Shooting Laksa dragon plus solumn judgement plus solumn warning
Game 2: Tio pwnt by trishula and many minus my advantage cards

OXO
Game 1: Plant stunts and advantage
Game 2: Stall for very long with -2 advantage before gging to sorceror
Game 3: Had 2 chain disappearance but din use it cause i control field.

Top 4 vs Classy Akira ( Machina Gadgets)

Siding as agent angels

After expressing my view on how to side against agent angels, its time to speak about siding as agent angels.

Monsters:
Gorz- prevents opponent from easy otk and since agents have low amount of trap cards ( might not apply to ALL agent angels but at least i play little traps)
DD crow- prevention against dandy variants
Puppet plant- six sam and hero beat, mainspring too lol
Ally bomb- agents vs agents?
Cyber dragon- contact with machiners yeah

Magic
Autonomous action unit- explained in last post
Nobleman of crossout- Against irritating ryko

Trap
Malevoent catastrophe- clear enemy heavy backrow especially for decks like grave bf, gb and machina gadgets or offering gadgets
Gozen match- six sam or dandy variants
Dimensional prison- against machinas
Chain disappearance- mirror match or against dandy six sam variants
Transmigration prophency- both a sheld and a sword.
Dark mirror- Dark world is here and to wreck chaos -.-

Siding against Agent Angel

To celebrate my first 500 view record, im gonna talk about siding against agent angel today, recently i seen a lot of ppl picking up agent angels, with the msia championship the best evidence. However, agent angel can be considered a deck that is as difficult as dopple dandy and probably one of the decks u need the most luck at ur side. Gonna talk about a couple of cards that people commonly side against today.

Traps:
Chain Disappearance- Definitely in most people's side deck, this card has the ability to take care of the shine balls and earth, with 3 earth out, opponent's hyperion will be put to the test as they would only have 3 venus avalable to remove. Removing the balls prevent any daigusta epic drama. However, recent japanese top 8 agent angel decks have 2 forbidden holy lance and 2 trap stun or 2 seven tools of the bandit 0.0 so it might not be so wise to play chain disappearance but it is still an essential to put as it reaps 1 massive advantage if 1 succeeds in allowing it to play.

Light imprisoning mirror- Able to limit hyperion's destructive effect, krystia's imba no special summon rule, agent searching and sping balls, this card has everything covered, definitely a good game staller but like i said earlier, lance and bandit would counter this effectively and even a mst or dust tornado (jap starting to side this) will do the job.

Spells:
Dimension fissure: Definitely useful as hyperion has no bullets and it makes krystia in one's hand stuck hand. Though 1 should be careful of lavael as it can wack more trouble to the player who activates this.

Autonomous action unit- Mostly for mirror match, i usually side this in during mirror matches. The reason is simple u just warning ur opponent venus and during ur turn open trap stun this card and united we stand for quick end game. Useful in late game as u can reborn opponent hyperion to destroy opponent mobs using angels in ur grave. The 1500 lifepoint damage may be hefty so 1 is more than enough.

Monsters:
Ally of justice core destroyer: A beatstick against light mobs as it kills them by effect, unable to be touched by bottomless since it has only 1400 attack. Despite such positives, easily vulnerable by cards like orange light any hyperion or even daigusta. A good choice of cards but might prove to have no deck synergy.

Ally bomb: A +1 when destroyed by battle, using orange light effect to negate oso nets a +1, only bad thing is u would have to set it usually so opponent would attack it. Agents can make exceeds or syncros in 2 turns so 1 might have to have backrow to prevent that from happening. Sazibi's six sams had massive advantage due to this card and it made me use a ganetsu to wack it in my 3rd game against him. Definitely a card to get especially agents on the rise now.

Ally of justice quarantine- saw it in the euro nationals list, this 1700 attk monster does not allow either player to sp light monsters. This cancels out hyperion krystia and balls. While locking these 3 cards down essentially means victory, it is notable that its passive effect cannot be negate by herald nor it is able to be destroyed except by honest plus light monster or jupiter or tribute summon of krystia or hyperion. Im definitely getting this if im not playing agent angels when against agent angel.

23 July 2011 tourney at AMK

Deck used: Evoldos

First match vs (forgot ur name) (Hero plant)
XOO
Game 1: I destroyed ur future fusion but u show me miracle fusion then came out 0 and i had to stall, eventually u poly ur zero and stratos into great tornado, clear my field and monster reborn for the win......
Game 2: Kinetic wins games
Game 3: Dimensional fissure leads the way in a victory

2nd match vs jun hao (machina solidarity gadgets)
XOO
Game 1: I had no evoldo vestra and u just keep poking and towards the end open more firepower with solidarity and i had insufficient hand size to combat ur big hand
Game 2: Despite him having big hands, i was able to drain his resources and use cyber to tag his gadgets too, we stall a bit as my dimensional fissure (again) forced him to waste massive resources for a fortress.
Game 3: His green gadget keep poking and i top draw into cerato with him having 3 set cards and me having 4 set cards, 1 bottomless 2 cosmos 1 fissure and 1 fissure face up.i summoned and afraid of prison and ended, we stalled again for a while till i got my dd survivor then i picked up courage to wack and a couple of turns later he scooped, turns out there were no dprison after all.......

3rd match vs T3chy (Dark world)
OO
Game 1: He shuffled into a spell trap hand while i had offerings seven tools and mst to clear them.
Game 2: dimensional fissure (YET AGAIN) lead the way to victory

4th match vs Jeff (Debris junk dopple)
Game 1: Despite calling my raigia 2 times, ryko clear them successfully and he had more resources than what i attempted to build up.
Game 2: Giant trunade and unfriendly stuff appeared.

5th match vs Xiaomei (Mainspring)
agreed to share beforehand but she wanted a 'creativity' match, eventually she got 9th haha
XOO
Game 1: mainspring pump attk too gay, she exceed tyrus subsequently and i had to warning, in the following turns i ate more exceeds and lost.
Game 2: kinetic for the beatdown
Game 3: She mistake but i was managed to get over her traps and do a hydrogadon stunt, following the boss mob and managed to clinch victory

So in the end is 3 win 2 lose in theory but 4 win and 1 lose (unofficial records)

My rant about evoldo? That 1900 attk guy can search only via special summoned by evolo reptiles, something i dun like as that would slow things to a very great extent. Despite that, i believe with more supports things can go even further, The dd side is very gd, it manage to take care of a couple of metas like machina gadgets and dark world. Might need to add nobleman to get rid of rykos...........on the other hand, might have to mend side dec, 5-6 cards i din even use today lolz. Alright tats it for this tourney ^^, lucky nvr reach top 8, if not need treat johann dominic junjie william and shaun lim mac ahhahahaha

Photon Shockwave selected card review

As most of u should know Photon Shockwave the latest booster pack has been released in ocg. Will be highlighting a couple of cards that caught my eyes, not really going to extra mention those mostly discussed by other blogs. Please note that im just giving my own point of view and i do apologise if i have made any rulings error or error in my reviews.

1. Evoldar Cerato- When sp summoned, a 2100 big stick, its effect is similar to the flameveils except that u can only search 3 cards out, easily sp by Evolda Vestro, definitely one of the power house of the Evoldar clan. Coupled with lances and this card would be unbeatable. Despite the positives, the search for a evolda card might just prove the engine too slow. Might need to try to know its actual speed. Of course its also a plus as it is a dino tat can be used to exceed Evolkaiser Raigia. Estimated price in Singapore (SG) = 12 for ultra and 15 for ultimate. With price to fall below 10 dollars within a week and might raise to 18 for ultra and 20 for ultimate if more evoldo supports comes out.

2. Extra Gate- Not a bad card to remove fortress when against opponent, decent side deck choice but with people putting 2-3 formulas in dandy variants, this card just proves to be worthless. Estimated price 6-8 for the first 2 weeks followed by 4 each subsequently, of course this card's price will rise if formula is limited to 1, using this card would break the whole engine.

3. Fragment Greed- Simply put this is a 2 turn wait for a +1, the price to pay will be -1 for 2 turns though and u might endure a -1 for 2 turns if ur opponent destroys it when it has 2 counters. Nevertheless will see use in gadget decks and mayb other decks. Estimated price of 6 dollars for first 2 weeks then drop to 4 dollars subsequent weeks

4. Radiance of darkness- Excellent side deck choice for grave bf, wwbf and dark world, with 1500 monsters as a requirement, probably one of the best virus in the game. However, it remains to be seen if the rulings are destroy all monsters that were special summoned this turn or any monsters special summoned this turn. Obviously the 2nd ruling would make this card a contender for best card in the set, i would say that if its the 2nd ruling, this card's estimated worth will be at 25-30. Think of it as a 1 turn krystia and u will realise its effectiveness.

5. Houou- The spell trap version of dark dust spirit, this card would run well in frog monarch decks as the often hav problem clearing backrows or getting pwnt by bottomless. Though its a sprit monster, i guess its worth the risk to empty ur field for 1 turn for a massive plus. Estimated cost is 3 dollars

Mainspring archetype- With so many variety of mainspring cards, it looks as though they can be competitive, given their ability to swarm, they are a force to be reckoned with but gozen match as a side deck card or rivalry would knock them off. Although they have the effective trap card which resembles beast soul swap, i need to see mainspring cards being able to destroy cards for it to be more competitive. Even with over wrench, it seem a little too slow for now. Need to try to give a more actual report.

A day at CM 10/7/2011

Went to dhoby cm and played a couple of practicing rounds, noticed that there have been many people looking for pots but then no one wants to let out to make a loss, as anticipated, it might just cap at 45 lowest for jap pots. English and jap pots are not so close substitudes and hence a increase in supply of english pots will not really decrease the price by jap pots a lot. Jap pots are needed for nationals and asia related competitions too.

Moving on, i tot about playing x-sabers as a fresh start to a new deck, nt that my agents are weak or what, i haven mastered agent perfection yet, often running out of steam at top8 / top4 . Have to fix my matchup against dandy and friends too, often i find myself running out of resources quickly with a couple of funny misplays.

Next week is the release of Photon Shockwave, might try to tweak agent angel a bit to more OTK format, might also give mainspring a 2nd shot and also evoldo a try, although i can't seem to gather enough resources yet.

As the time passes, the banlist looms, with enough analysis by various blogs, its really apparent that dopples will get hit, heard rumors of icarus getting hit too. Lets hope they dun touch my beloved hyperions and trap stuns.

Wun be surprised if they restrict formula to just 1 or junk synchron to 1. Though many are saying librarian are the cause of their gayness.

Seems like yugioh would be interesting for the time being at least, on a more serious note i should start doing school work lol
