Okay. Malaysia nationals coming up . Anyone going pls read this.
So i would like to make this clear:
NO promos can be used, U heard this im NOT JOKIN. Colin confirmed this, so did Gamers Arena shop in sungei Wang( the place where the tourney is held.)So..... don cry guys..... its okay. u just have to refrain from using
a) dhero diskuguy
b) airman
c) ARMS HOLE.
d) phantom of chaos
e) blooD decks (they r not bad. quite good actually,can reach Tier 1, not joking..)
f) duel terminal cards
okay im repeating myself so on to the post
Since all those decks r not to be worried abt anymore, lets go on to the metagame n c how its affected
the top decks in meta now r (in order)
1) dark decks
b) gladiator beast
3) lightlord
Personally if u ask me the most affected is NONE!!! none of these decks revolve around promo cards . Each deck probably runs one or two promo cards such as
a) gorz- staple
b) phantom of chaos- lightlord use for judgemnt dragoon and dark arm use for copying himself
c) ehero prisma- gladiator beast use it. but onli those who have it.....it isnt a staple n gladiator beats still run well without them...
So to couunter those decks we need
a) light imprisoning mirror
b) dark imprisoning mirror
well those mirrors shut down one common thing - dark n lights. Yes they shut down all Dark/ light effects in field and graveyard BUT NOT HAND- beware dd crow and honest
But do keep in mind one thing, they cant shut down continuos effects. they shut down trigger effects n ignition one only (ruling checked on official yugioh website not on wikia)
Ignition n trigger effects r such as monarchs, snipehunter, judgemnt dragoon, bla bla. Do keep in mind it doesnt negate jinzo. So if jinzo summon they r effectless. See, jinzo effect doesnt trigger, its continuous.
c) deck lockdown
this card is the card to defeat gladiator beast. These annoying cards just bother us to much. Deck lockdown is a good card to defeat G beasts. Even if it lasts for abt 2 turns only, it shut down bestiari from coming from deck, equite, darius n so on......
Remember that dark decks r slow. Pardon me 4 saying that but it is the fact:
a) No more diskguy
b) we dont have allure
since diskguy is gone expect to see lots of destiny draw
thats y the card to counter here is definitely curse seal of the forbidden spell. It has a heavy discard cost ( one spell card) but its effect is mediocre, as it prevents opponent from playing that same spell for the remainder of the duel. Good right? bye bye destiny draw,,,,
Hand severing
okay as we can see, now that format is slow bla bla dark decks will surely play hand severing,. Thats y we must play more discard cost traps. This isnt a must but through my personal experience many times ppl have been killed by discard cost traps. No not by their effects but their cost - discarding one card. Y? lets say opponent has bad hand So he attempts to solve it by playing hand severing to draw. U have exactly 2 cards in hand. So u can stop that by chaining raigeki break, karma cut, phonix wing wind blast .... soo that leaves ur hand at only 1 card therefore hand severing is gone ahahaha
dont maindeck mind crush n trap dustshoot. It is good in TCG yes i admit, but no OCG. Remember the abundance of hand severing? u can play mind crush but what if opponent chain hand sevring ? then u will lose urself n be at disadvantage. Also discard cost cards stop dustshoot and mind crush. They target ur card u discard that card to make them look bad.
Phoenix wing wind blast
with a slow format i suggest this card to be sidedecked against dark decks. Dark decks will be hurt by this,. Dont play this against lightlords or gladiator beatss as gladiator will just shuffle away the card into their deck to be used again! lightlords discard effect will just throw that card to grave again. Useless.
Karma cut
its good. Probably the best matchup against gladiator beats. removing gladiator beast from play is crucial as none of the beasts yet hav an effect to special summon gladiator beats from outplay zone.
Raigeki break
Probably the slowest of the three, Dont play it
Bottomless trap hole n solemn judgemnt are 2 cards that i suggest playing. Why? they break opponent combos ....they stop dark arm, judgemnt, kaiseris and many more ....y not? Remember solemn judgment is gonna be widely played as it is probably the highest ranked counter trap in the game. the onli thing to stop solemn is another solemn.
Dust tornado
Don forget this usefull card. Kills stall. I got hit by spatial collapse stall lately...wasnt fun....but it was funny...
PULLING THE RUG
This is the card im gonna mention to sidedeck. With a slower format back. there is a good chance monarchs r seeing more play again. Though i dont think they r scary anymore, Still disruptive but not scary
DDcrow
* note: this is not for sidedeck . This is for maindeck. DD crow is the best surprise cards in the game
a) pre-burial
b) dark armed dragon
c) Judgment dragon ( sometimes....)
d) yomi frog( treeborn)
e) monster reborn
f) dhero malicious and many many more......
This is the tech card of the day. Don forget to maindeck it, U might nvr noe u play against dragon deck n then he plays dragon mirror, u crow him n laugh in his face,
Well, this is all for now, no pics of the cards sorry. I assume u all know these cards already as i dint mention any weird cards that nvr c play b4...
Till next time. play fair, play hard, n remember how important a sidedeck is in a tournament!!! =)
