Singapore Worlds Qualifier in about a month plus
Within a flash of asia qualifier in singapore, world its here. With the release of return of the duelist and the duelist edition 1/2 as the new additions to the weapons cache for players to use, players will be sad to know that the new SD (Yes that water one) cannot be used. Anw its held on 23 June with 6 rounds swiss for 128 players who register first and cut to top 12. With 4 pre-qualifers to choose 4 winners to join the top 12 for the top 16 playoffs.
Gt some side deck dilemma? Refer to Avengingknight's side deck post then http://avengingknight.blogspot.com/
According to recent worlds meta analysis, popular decks as follow
Inzektors
Hieroglyph variants
Rabbit Ragia
Random decks like
Final countdown
Infernity
Gadgets variant
Mask change herobeat
BF variants
Agent Variants
Karakuri
Gravekeeper
Chain burn
Well i think that the 2 most top decks will once again be Inzektors and Hieroglyph since Singapore qualifers clearly show that. Although i tip gadgets to have an outside chance, the lack of tinplate goldfish might just mean that gadget players have slower access to giganto-x their plus card. Similarly Rabbit Ragia is never strong with asia format in play, no verz access, of course unless u can dominate with it like Ryan Stark in the asia qualifers who got 3rd (nickname: Rabbit Ryan)
Karakuri geargia might face problems of birdman and iron call being unable to use while infernity without lavalral chain will be top decking tremendously.
1 thing i do hate about inzektors mirror match is that much of the game is about ur hand and ur mindset. If u wanna do mantis otk and u think ur opponent does not have veiler, most likely u stand a chance to win. Matches where inzektors pit each other can start and end quickly something i do not really like.
Right now im thinking machina but i might need to up its speed if i were to play it, however the last year worlds horror of 2 fortress 3 gearframe 1 cannon against gravekeepers as a starting hand has not hovered away yet argh.
Things to do before worlds
Get tour guides from epic dawn to play
Think of a deck to play for world's 4 pre qualifiers
Think of what to play for worlds
Try to top for worlds this time (I want to avoid the disappointment of taking out a big dog last year and dying to a pro gravekeeper player after that. -.-)

20k views yay! + Tournament report 22/4/2012 @ Marymount
ok not exactly 20k views yet but soon i hope + guess
Anw played verz raggia again but without cosmos and played 2 veiler instead
Match 1 vs Bryan Chua (Inzektor)
XOX
Game 1: I had a great hand of heavy storm but he set one and i was reluctant to use it, my rabbit got veilered and i went down hill when he flash his inzektor stunts.
Game 2: Started with heavy backrow and thunder bird floating around to kill him.
Game 3: I had 2 rabbit and monster reborn but could not do a thing against his rivalry of warlords = gg
Match 2 vs Jeff (Hero Beat)
OXX
Game 1: Rabbit make ophion, had thunder bird and heavy storm in hand to seal the game within a few turns
Game 2: My cards got countered and i had no outs to miracle
Game 3: Cleared shining and excalibur with a torrential but could not handle the additional advantage of 6 cards to my 2 cards which was a top deck rabbit and mandrago. He had honest in hand since long ago when he potted so i can only play defence since i had only 400 lp left but agian it proved to be useless.
Match 3 vs Kenneth Plant (Malicious hieroglyph)
Game 1: He bad hand
Game 2: Tio hieroglyph combo gg
Game 3: Make dokka and controlled with backrow
Match 4 vs Xiaomei (Inzektor)
XOX
Game 1: He baited out my backrow and bomb my helpless sabersaurus
Game 2: Had a veiler in hand and kept it till the damsel came down and killed it
Game 3: Bad mistake of not msting her trap stun when i have a facedown weed out and died to a top decked damsel lalala me too noob lol.
Match 5 vs Ds (Karakuri fish geargia)
XOX
Game 1: He use the 3 card combo make burei bureido bureido landoise and i gg
Game 2: Ophion control while he drew karakuri cards
Game 3: Same as game 1 and i drew 2 yellow skin warning lance chalice chalice trolollol
Scrubbed 1-4 so mayb need to change build again, played no guaiba today and it kinda looks weird when u have heliotrope and sabersaurus on field -.-. Although 1 can still exceed for djinn maelstrom

Update
Sry for not posting for quite some time, was preoccupied with sch trips and asia which i scrubbed out in the first round to kenneth who went on to be singapore champion and 2nd in asia
Anw was testing out geargia karakuri, cannot really decide between playing aggressiveness of 0 traps or at least 6 traps since any fewer than that will probably end up blown by mst.
Tested with siryugioalot (http://teaminsanetechygo.blogspot.com/2012/04/geargi-karakuri-decklist.html )and epic failed getting thrashed 2-1 every time.
Will continue to test btw people can check our Clarence's build on karakuri.(http://unknown-persona.blogspot.com/2012/04/here-it-is.html) Kudos to him as usual
Btw chaos dragons topped in Ycs while another one got into the finals, damn it i just can't get my lightlord engine going with 3 ryko, 3 lyla and 3 recharge

Asia Championship 2012
Asia Championship will be held in Singapore on 15 April 2012. For asia format will be no promos except dt 1 and 2 being the exception.
Being single elimination and free registration, one can expect to see many people pilioting different decks. So i will do a basic deck analysis about them today.
Inzektors: Muchly the deck to beat and most people will probably pilot this deck. It involves inzektors being equipped to their own family such as inzektor hornet which can destroy 1 card on the field and inzektor gruf which can increase the level of a monster the player controls by 1 or 2. When send to grave from field, they trigger abilities of some inzektors. Inzektor Damsel and Centipede are the 2 main cards that will have triggered abilities. Gigamantis or Gigaweevil are cards that one will have to worry about as both are good combos with hornet and dragonfly. They can form a potential otk when dragonfly and mantis are equipped to a damsel and hornet destroys mantis. mantis specials hornet from grave and dragonfly is able to special 2 inzektor monsters except itself from the deck. The same goes for weevil except that it can special itself while mantis is unable to.
Hieroglyph: This deck is one that is able to perform otks and is able to side macro cosmos giving it versatality. Basically its about hieroglyph monsters being tributed and they will have their effects which allows them to sp 1 normal monster from their deck but it will be with 0 attk and defence when it is special summoned. The gayness is that a few hieroglyphs can be special summon by tributing a hieroglyph monster on their field. One of such is Su.(http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Hieratic_Dragon_of_Su)
The combo basically kicks off with this and atums(http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Hieroglyph_Dragon_King_-_Atumus) is the main culprit of the gayness. It allows the user to special a dragon monster from his deck by detaching an exceed material and its rank 6. The target usually is red eyes metal dragon which can use its effect and sp a dragon from their grave which can continue the combo if the user has another red eyes in his hand or monster reborn. Although atums is unable to attack that turn, the user can exceed for Gaia Dragoon which has 2600 attack and can pierce. Ouch!
So that is the 2 main decks that people will use, the rest of the decks are rather small in numbers but decks that one can expect include Gravekeepers, Gladiator Beast, Blackwing, Ragia variants, Dark World, Tech Genius Agent Angels.
