The "Fuck Konami Deep Deep" Post


Since Konami has not learnt their lesson from producing Rescue Cat, they have now produced Rescue Rabbit:

Effect:
This card cannot be special summoned from the deck. Banish this face-up card you control: Special Summon 2 Level 4 or Lower Normal Monsters from your deck with the same name. A monster special summoned by this effect is destroyed during the end phase. The effect of "Rescue Rabbit" can be activated once per turn.
Rescue Rabbit is much like Rescue Cat, so i expect its art to be a bunny with a miner's hat, and while Cat is great for synchro summoning (and Exceed summoning), Rescue Rabbit is used only for Exceed summoning, so its a one card exceed of choice rank 1/2/3/4

This is very similar to Tour Guide of the Underworld which makes Revise Dragon worth playing.

This could be relevant for Heroes because they can drop Sparkman and then use it as fodder for Miracle Fusion and making a first turn Roach and this card actually makes Utopia decent.

Other options include abusing X Saber Anupiranha (however you spell her name), so you can special summon two of her to the field and then drop Faultroll.

Playing those X Sabers means the deck has beat properties that allows it to function in 2 ways or more.

I dont think people are gonna spam Gemini Elves into their deck just to pull Rescue Rabbit off anyway :P

I also saw Fragments of Greed. Its effect goes like this:

Whenever you conduct your draw phase, put a greed counter on this card. You can remove ?? greed counters from this card and send this card to the graveyard to draw 2 cards from your deck.

Theres "??" there because Shriek has not confirmed this card's effect. Im confident this card will be incredible simply because its a draw 2 so its a plus one, and although it requires X number of turns, its still a plus one and a freaking Pot of Greed!

When Duality was released, people doubted it, but it became the most expensive competitive card in the game now. I expect this card to be something like that.

I dont see the number of turns on Fragments to be more than 2 or 3. If my opponent wants to waste his MST on it, just let him, at least he didnt blind MST my Warning or BTH so its still a win win situation :)

Also, fuck Konami even more because I just got news that X Saber Boggart Knight is Normal Rare (short print) in the OCG. FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK. Now i definitely need to sell my TCG ones. Why dont they fucking make Recruiter the normal rare.

Sabers have officially joined the ranks of the most expensive decks in the game, considering it plays better with 2 to 3 Dualities.

Lastly, to all the players thinking of getting White Knight Illuminator, i dont think its worth it. 3 level 4 monsters? i rather drop Disigma, and even if i had 2 , i'll rather drop Roach anytime.

Different story for Asian format though, because the above cards are not legal so GKs might need to resort to this. Drawing cards in GK is gooood.

Darksoul UR in OCG

Looks like this is Konami's new marketting strategy to get sales for the new EXP4, which is crap except for a couple of cards.

Damn, now we have to buy a fuckload of EXP4s just to scout 3 Darksouls. And the OCG ones are bound to cost a bunch.

I will have to sell my TCG ones just to get the OCG versions.

Slowing down on Yugioh for the meantime until after exams. Wont be updating blog. ciao.

A Whiff of Bad Luck

Some fucked up thing happen today.

A tournament was held in Kuching (my district) and it was meant to be a casual tournament. However, there was a suggestion given by Sung Lee that one place in Malaysia's top 16 for Nationals was to be given to the East Malaysians (we are on a different island-borneo to be exact, if you have heard of it which is likely because we have a fuckload of rainforests here)

So, the tournament organiser's dateline was today, and he didnt know. So Andrew called me up to ask me if i knew who. I immediately called "martin wong" the tournament organiser and told him about the news. So he decided to use todays tournament as the results for Qualifiers, during the last minute after the tournament has finished =.=

This is really fucked up because i had a great chance to go, and that meant i would have an all expense paid trip to KL if i won and had a chance to meet Andrew. Sunglee, Cookie LGQ Sean and the gang again.

Really a waste of chance. Damn pissed now.

Didnt go today because i was preparing for my oral which required minimal effort.

The worst part is the tournament today is the number of ppl participating was only 8 or 9 people? WTF? Damn high chance to top?

Anyways i would still like to congratulate my friend Jun for winning it, although he did win with Hero Beat, which was not considered legal for Asian tourney policy because Stratos, Shining, Zero and Raioh are not allowed..

The organizer, Summer Tea, aka Martin wong scrubbed with dark world. This doesnt mean that Dark World is a fail deck.

"I can see alot of people running over-aggresive, bad and inconsistent versions of the deck " Quote from Andrew which i agree 100%

Me, Andrew and Sean are currently experimenting with many possibilities of DW.

I would like to congratulate Andrew for topping in both KL tournaments that happened this weekend.

On Saturday, he topped 4 with Dark world =)

Today, he won the whole thing with GKs and is guaranteed a spot in the top 16

Haihs, really makes me feel even more mad that i missed a golden opportunity.

If i had gone, i would have gone with Agent Angels, which i feel is probably the most consistent and all-rounded deck among the KL meta pool.

I managed to get the whole 3 decks of complete Angels with a SR Stardust, SR seven tools, SR debunk, and 2 Herald of Orange Lights for only Rm200. So i guess the whole week wasnt all that bad.

That does mean im gonna be doing an Angel project soon =)

Preparing for next format (OCG)

Its a little early to do so, i admit, but i'm doing it already. They say the early bird catches the worm.

Im talking based on OCG and Malaysian format. So, sorry to TCG readers. This doesnt mean you will close this post first because its always good to know about other ppl's meta.

First of , if you haven't invested in Effect Veiler, you should. This is because Veiler is the only out you will have to an x saber savvy format. people will spam darksouls and faultrolls. If you dont want to lose your whole backrow to 3 Heavy Storms in your opponent's extra deck, your only out is Veiler. because its the most reliable out to hyunlei in the OCG format. Dont be stupid and run Starlight Roads because there's 3 seven tools and Trap Stun around.

Next up, you should be siding those 3 veilers and picking up 2 copies of crow and crevice if you have not had the chance.

This is because im predicting Frog Monarch to have a strong matchup next banlist because it wont be touched and it has a strong matchup against dw, and i wont have to elaborate on dark world at all haha.

Nobody should be maining Prisons or Mirror Forces either. Mirror Force is bad against Samurai with shi-en, and its bad against GK (recycle with stele) and its gonna get bombed by Hyunlei anytime. Those cards should be avoided at almost all costs. D Prison is still decent against GK. Removing their GKs is always good.

Then if you havent got any Levials and Roaches and Solid Rock Gantetsu, you should pick some up now. Roaches are amazing everywhere from X sabers to GKs to Hero etc. Solid Rock Gantetsu is good in angels too because Agent Venus becomes a +2 and a random 2200 attack beatstick. Gantetsu is super hard to kill too. You will waste a turn or two to kill it. which is very good because it wastees your opponent's cards, resources, cuts off his game tempo, and gives you stall time. Soliel was right about this.

Levial is good too. I posted on how it can help X Sabers in the 2nd n 3rd game when your Darksouls get Chain Disappearanced or Nobleman-ed. Levial is perfect (rank 3) and it brings your stuff back. Check out Clarence's post on Six sam utilising this too. Good with Birdman and synchro decks like Plants.

Thats all for today. Im tired already. May have a part 2 post up soon if i rememmber what to write, or if i find the time

Gotta prepare for SPM oral examination. If i fail this, i dont need to sit my exam >.> of course oral is super easy except its in the Malay language and my mind goes through 2 processes.

Thought Process 1: Think about what you want to say. in english
Thought Process 2: Convert to BM. Possibility of making mistakes along the way too LOL

Empty Space Sea Sepent Levial

This card is becoming better and better.

Definitely an investment.

Rank 3 is easy to achieve for TCG Tour Guide decks, and any X Saber deck.

The reason why i brought this up was because when i was dueling the other day, i found out that if my Darksoul was removed, and i didnt have any left, i needed something to bring it back efficiently.

So, when i purchases rm300 worth of exceeds from cookie, i found i bought one copy of this so it actually fulfills the task quite well.

Ermmm. sometimes in X sabers, you may find out that you have a bunch of emmersblade/ darksouls in your field when your opponent gets rid of your tuners, and your opponent has something big on the field.

What do you do?

summon Revise Dragon.

Not kidding. It actually works as a beatstick.

Looks like i have to swallow my words :p

however, it doesnt change the fact that i think the card overall is not awesome and its not that good anywhere else asides from x sabers and maybe worms.

im still a stubborn guy hahha.

http://shriek.twoday.net/stories/19479800/ check this link out. its a scrap tech genus deck that topped recently. very very interesting.

Triple Veiler

Recently thought that Effect Veiler is the new Book of Moon.

Played against Psychic Gusta a few days ago, perhaps the best psychic deck in the whole of Malaysia.

Gusta practically let him draw his whole deck out with Mind Master and Brain Research Lab at work. While he Trishula me 5 times (Brionac recycled) and he set 1 Solemn Judgment and 3 Mind Over Matter face down.

Game 1: He won the die roll and he went first. First move he went for one for one. WTF. drew Brain research lab quite soon onwards and then he did the FTK.

Game 2: I started, set Warning, Torrential Darksoul, and won the game in 2 turns.

Game 3: He started first and he opened with Emergency Teleport. abit WTF.

Game 4: I went first and didnt get any negation except Book. Sat there with a set Emmersblade. He had Mind Master in his hand so he normal summoned it, drew Teleport and did a Book. He ended his turn. I went for the kill next turn but he had Waboku! Next turn Mind Master fcked me up.

That was the games without sided Veiler. i went 1-3. Yes embarrassing score

I sided Veilers.

Game 1 : I didnt draw any even though I had a Duality in my hand. We stalled for a while and he finally went for the kill.

Game 2: I drew a Veiler. Win

Game 3: Drew Veiler, Book Warning. No need say.

Game 4: Veiler appeared somehow. Won without much effort. Seven Tools negated his Wabokus and Mind Over Matters all the way.

So, the first 4 games was quite bullshit cos he opened godly all the time. I still think 3 Veilers are damn necessary for the sidedeck.

I wonder why no one in Japan is running Psychic Gusta or Fish FTK.

Im scared Mind Master wouldnt be banned because Konami's answer to it is 3 Veiler because through testing it does work once you side in 3.

Of course this isnt the Asian format so i dont expect many other competitive Malaysians to bother about this post much.

However, one thing i have to admit is im a bad sidedecker, because I dont have the chance to join tourneys so my sidedecking skills are bad. Meaning I have no idea what card should go into my sidedeck. However, I do know how to side stuff in and what stuff to take out.

So, a rough copy of my side would be:

3 Veiler
1 DD warrior Lady
2 DD Crow
1 Greenkappa
1 Consecrated Light
2 Nobleman of Crossout
1 Gottoms Emergency Call
1 Seven Tools of the Bandit
1 Crevice into a Different Dimension
2 Chain Disappearance

Yeah i think the side is quite bad :/

Take note that Im preparing this side for my meta (which allows promos) and its kinda weighed towards the next upcoming September format where X saber Darksoul and Boggart will be legal in Asian format

Im siding 2 Crows and Crevice for Frog Monarch, Dark World and probably plants, fish or anything.

3 Veiler for those fcking Mind Masters and anything else :D Though if i enter an Asian format tourney, which i will after my SPM, i'll probably replace my Gorz with a Veiler or a DDWL

DDWL is good because i saw LGQ tech her. Honestly, good choice. Very random, unpredictable, and savvy, and she removes the monster from play. Which is good.

Greenkappa and Light for BF.

2 Nobleman for plants. But im thinking it isnt that effective anymore. Probably gonna cut it out. Maybe replacing with 2 Divine Wrath because Agent Herald is getting popular. Only thing to fck Herald is Wrath. Or a card called Destruction Jammer.

1 Gottoms E call: X Saber :)

1 Seven Tools: BF, x saber etc

2 chain disappearance: Plants samurai frog etc whatever.

It would help if you guys give me feedback on my side, and etc. Thanks. Lol

Dark World again

Im sorry if i post too much DW stuff.

I have heard some players saying its overrated. I beg to differ. The deck built in a different way, and played by a good player will overcome that statement. I'm almost confident it would be played as much as Machinas back in the days, Dragunity before aklys got nerfed, and Agent Angels.

This is an opinion, and if it doesnt happen, im ready to accept all criticisms etc. We've all been wrong about things. Dark World has serious potential. Grapha is an even better boss monster than Hyperion and the deck is packed with so many Destiny Draws.

I've played the deck and 3/5 games, i open up with Gate , Dealings etc and see about 1/4th of my deck before the game even begins.

Out of 5 games, i played at least one destiny draw in 4 games on my first turn. Thats pretty good if you ask me.

If you ask me, Dark World now is like D- Heroes back in the past. Play Destiny Draw and Dark World monsters like Snow and Broww and you will be rewarded for playing such cards. Dont get Destiny Draw, and you end up with crap in your hand. In this case, theres Broww and Snow etc. So, its a good risk. Props to Michael Bonacini for posting on Destiny Draw last format.

However, the difference between D Heroes last time and DW now is the consistency. Now you have DW Lightning, and Gate to make sure they are all live cards no matter what.

Here's the list:

19 monsters
3 Grapha
3 Sillva
2 Goldd
3 Broww
3 Snow
3 Breaker the Magic Warrior
1 Sangan
1 Morphing Jar

15 spells
3 DW Gate
3 DW Lightning
3 DW Dealings
1 Dark Hole
1 Monster Reborn
2 MST
1 Card Destruction
1 Allure of Darkness

2 Solemn Warning
2 Bottomless Trap Holes
1 Dark Deal
2 D Prisons

I wish i could just do this like a Youtube video, because it would be so much easier. I
So, the first thing you guys will be surprised is why the hell there is no Dark Armed Dragon. The main reason i didnt like him is that he is really DEAD in the opening hand in early game. It will just sit there and do nothing while the number of darks remain constant (gate controls it. Remove one, dump one)

Then, once its in the hand, it will just wait till I Card Destruction or Morphing Jar him away. I dont want to run such an inconsistent card inside. Some may not agree. Run it at your own risk.

Next up is the presence of Celri. What?? Not a single Celri? From testing in 3s, i hated drawing them in multiples. So i cut them down to 2. It still sucked, so i cut it down to one. Still bad, although it resolves Sillva, my sillva is incredibly prone to Solemn Warning and leaving Celri on my opponent's field gives him a +1. Its level 1, a very versatile level, meaning my opponent who has 8 levels worth of fodder could suddenly end up having Trishula (8+1), or he gets free fodder for Formula Synchron.

Not worth it at all, imo. Im also sick of explaining to ppl how Celri's effect works.

3 Grapha is staple, 3 sillva is staple because its better than Goldd, (i'd rather take away 2 of my opponent's hand cards then destroy 2). There is only enough space for 5, because 6 is overkill, you'd see them all stuck in your hand.

Before i started playing DW again, i took the chance to view decklists from Shonen Jump championships and saw that Theresak Poonsombat's built ran many others like DD Warrior Lady, Breaker and others. Then it hit me, that DW was special summoning so fast, it almost wasted its one normal summon per turn, which was a waste.

I tested the deck with 1 Breaker and it worked well so i threw in another. It worked so well i threw in another. Breaker is so good because its an instant plus one. I'd usually mass draw then throw down an MST, drop Breaker, drop Lightning and discard Grapha for maximum card simplification. Breaker is a plus one, and if not, it baits Warnings and BTHs (which is the most important thing) so that your DW monsters can be dropped safely.

I like Breaker too because the whole deck is about plus-sing with Grapha, and Gate, so why not Breaker too ? If you cant summon your DW monsters, you can always rely on Breaker as an Allure fodder or use it as a beatstick to waste some of your opponents stuff.

The deck runs 3 DW Lightning contrary to what i think about how it hits chainable back rows. I realised that if i dont overextend, MST wont hurt me and the exchange would just go as a one for one. Its good to hit face down Rykos, Snowmans, Worms, and others. I love starting the second turn in the early game with a Breaker/ MST and a DW Lightning.

Furthermore, if the deck opens up without Dark World Dealings, and has a Gate, you will find Gate dead and the only way to activate it is to set a DW monster, get it destroyed by battle which is pathetic and wasteful. Lightning makes sure that doesnt happen.

The end result is amazing because the deck simplifies monsters with Grapha, Solemn Warning, Bottomless Trap Hole, while spells and traps are taken care of by MST, Breaker and Grapha and careful baiting.

Also, once this deck drops Tyrus. Ohmygod. Stuff that gets can kill Tyrus is Compulsories, which is very uncommon here, tech Dimension Prison which will usually be destroyed by Breakers and MSTs, and Trishula and Brionac which destroys everything as well.

My traps are simple, direct and still undergoing some changes. D Prisons are interesting but i may switch them over for Book of Moon and Torrential Tribute. I dont like Torrential much in here, because its redundant with Grapha, but Book sounds fine.

I tried 3 Dark Deals and they were overkill. Two were okay, but unfortunately i dont have a second =( and im still scouting for another piece from local players. Its an amazing card that didnt get reprinted (i feared that lol).

One is just right because sometimes it can get situational and my hand usually has a field card or something so i dont want my opponent to hit that. I cant just replace my own field Gate because doing so will SOOOO telegraph and give away that im setting Dark Deal. I remember when i was playing DAD in the build too. Made it just worse.

Ermm. Apart from that, i asked some local players about their ideas for DW and they were buying Fabled Ravens. I personally dont like the idea of mixing tuners like that in DW. Sure you can get out a Stardust or something but thats not the point if you ask me. Those DW monsters are precious discard fodder, and Raven isnt all that great, its not Breaker-good. I would rather use the DW monsters as Exceed fodder. Its a pretty much okay idea only if you ask me :/

I mean its a mass discard card like Card Destruction and Morphing Jar, so it could work too. Its not my cup of tea.

I was also tempted to run Return from the Different Dimension. I tested with it. And it was awesome when resolved properly, because removed Snows nett me Inverz Roach, while removed Browws nett me no 17 Revise Dragon (free food so why not?), and level 5s Tyrus. However it got stuck in my hand in early game and that sucked.

Because early game is very important to DW since you need to outspeed, control and setup (kinda) from there.

There are many better possible builds, i'm positive of it, and my DW deck above is just one out of so many ways to play the deck. Im quite sure the deck will reach tier one or so, and top a few tourneys.

Or its gonna be like Agent Angels when it first started out last year. There was a hype, it died down, and just stayed around tier 1.5 from January to May, and now when the format changes a lil, it takes advantage of it and becomes tier 1. It SHOULD be something like that. Or. It could just go all the way, Grapha is really good.

When I have the time, i will search all the metagame.com articles for DW here in this link. You can do so too.

Props to Sean for discussing DW with me too =) It helped alot having a decent player give me opinions about the beta-building phase of the deck.

Thats all for tonight, and thank you for reading this! All comments, and feedback are appreciated, and i will reply each and single one as always. Have a nice day y'all.

Yes i caught the BF fetish too

Been itching to post all day. My comp has been slowwwwww.

WWBF because i wanna try something new. This deck is X Saber's worst matchup (in Malaysia format now) imo, and im not kidding.

So, why do i want to play WWBF?

Because it can run the best trap in the game, Icarus Attack.

I love to play control.

Thanks to Sean last night for stayin up late to brief me on the deck. Thanks to Andrew for reconfirming certain questions, and other stuff regarding the deck.

Tornado is good for control and i dont need Seven Tools of the Bandit because this deck doesnt fear Warning. Warning Grapha and it'll just come back again.

Warning anything else and i dont care. They'll just remove themselves.

Currently good success.

It currently still stands at 42 cards :/ probably gonna -1 tornado lol.

Exceed deck

Monsters- 19
3 Green Gadget
3 Red Gadget
3 Yellow Gadget
3 Hydrogeddon
3 Effect Veiler
2 Genex Ally Birdman
2 Breaker the Magical Warrior

spells- 11
2 Pot of Avarice
2 MST
1 Monster Reborn
1 Dark Hole
2 Pot of Duality
1 Book of Moon
2 Burden of the Mighty

Traps- 12
3 Ultimate Offering
2 Dimension Prison
2 Solemn Warning
2 Bottomless Trap Hole
2 Dust Tornado
1 Torrential Tribute

Extra Deck
3 Inverse Roaches
2 Vyron Disigma
2 Evolkaiser Ragia
2 Black Rose Dragon
1 Ancient Fairy Dragon- you need to watch Galileo's video to know how good it is :)
1 Ally of Justice Catastor

As you can see, theres alot of spell trap hate in here including 2 Dust Tornado and Breaker, which help bait out Solemn Warning and Bottomless.

Oh yes we are running Ragia in here !!!!! Recycle with Pot.

No Tengus because its OCG firstly, and i dont think Tengu's effect activates if he is used for an Exceed summon.

If not for that, Tengu would be amazing here. As for now, Hydrogeddon and Gadgets being recycled are sorta like Tengu, which is arguably the best TCG exclusive so far..

Burden is for your opponent to waste his MST and allows Hydrogeddon to resolve easily. If Ultimate Offering gets MST-ed, you can still apply simple beatdown

This is only a deck concept. Im aware that if Offering gets MST-ed , i dont have the space/ cards inside to make the deck run like a 5th gadget build :)
