Merry Christmas

Well, I typically think of a Yu-gi-oh! related thing to talk about, but that's besides the point in this case, but instead I'll bring forth a challenge for all of you. Why? Because I think it'll suit the Christmas vibe.

Remember the typical Christmas song: "12 Days of Christmas", so I consider you this: Make a deck that includes at least 1 Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Level 6, Level 7, Level 8, Level 9, Level 10, Level 11, and Level 12 monster inside your Main and Extra Deck.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make that deck until later, because I want to focus on other matters, but I want to mention this: Have a Merry Christmas!

Perfect Krystia (with Zeta Reticulant and Future Vision)

Well, from reading LGQ's blog, I decided to focus in on the concept of Future Vision:


3x Zeta Reticulant
2x Chaos Sorceror
3x Mystic Tomato
2x Armageddon Knight
2x Archlord Krystia
2x Herald of Perfection
2x Majestic Mech - Ouka
3x Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands

Monster Reborn
Allure of Darkness
2x Dawn of the Herald
2x Terraforming
2x Treasure of Heaven
3x Future Vision

Call of the Haunted
Torrential Tribute
2x Bottomless Trap Hole
3x Dimensional Prison
3x Miraculous Descent

Having Tokens being developed by using Zeta Reticulant from Bottomless Trap Hole, Dimensional Prison, Future Vision, and Chaos Sorceror might give you a bit more defense while facing off against cards. Once again, I did this on paper, so I don't know how the flow of the deck actually works until I get some time for test drawing.

Anyway, thoughts, rate, fix, comments, discuss. Enjoy!

Created Card Lesson 2 - Defining "Broken on How it is Played"

I know it's been a long while, but I'll get straight to the point with this, since it's a basic topic to understand. "Broken on how it is played" simply means this: "How many decks can abuse this one card?" For instance, you can have a card that can fit into some decks, but not all of them. It's also the instance where people tend to think "Broken on how it is played" equals "Broken by design". It isn't. Namely, because "Broken by design" means "What text error does this card have that makes it so broken?"

I know this lesson is brief, but I needed to get straight to the point on this issue, before moving on to the next lesson.

~~~

Also, if I have this perception wrong, go ahead and leave a comment, so that I can fix it.

Impulse of Ra (Part 2)

Basically, simply, an expansion to the Calm, Silent Gusta + Mind Master + Brain Research Lab.

Having that combo draw out your deck while you gain ample cards is vital in this deck, but how would you be able to bring out your win condition? Answer:

Telekinetic Power Well
[Quick-Play Spell Card]
Special Summon any number of Level 2 or lower Psychic-Type monsters from your Graveyard. You take damage equal to the total Levels of those monsters x 300.

With this, you can bring out 5 monsters, 3 of them can be tributes for Ra, and the others, could be fodder for Psychic Jumper.

Then, how do you gain Life Points? Answers:

Metaphysical Regeneration
[Normal Trap Card]
Activate only during the End Phase. Gain 1000 Life Points for each Psychic-Type monster sent to the Graveyard this turn.

Gain 1000 Life Points per Psychic sent? With that combination, we could gain a lot of Life Points from this one card.

Rainbow Life
[Normal Trap Card]
Discard 1 card. Until the end of this turn, whenever you would take damage you gain that amount of Life Points instead.

Wait, this card doesn't gain Life Points directly; however, from indirect means, like...the destruction of Brain Research Lab and the use of Telekinetic Power Well, the damage becomes life point gain instead, and it'll make having Ra seem like the god that he is.

Anyway, hopefully, this explanation is worth it. Enjoy!

Spirits in the Deep Sea and Holy Goddess - Lenette

Well, this is going to be a long post, so I decided to set up a little table to help you navigate through here. Use CTRL + F to find what you are looking for: Spirits of the Deep Sea or Holy Goddess - Lenette.

~~~

Spirits in the Deep Sea:

Well, I got this idea from reading LGQ's blog about Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth combined with Spirits, so I took a test run on it. A lot of factors became involved and I thought about how to get Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth turn 1, or have a set Yamata Dragon set. The deck that LGQ made was interesting enough, but it slightly lacked a few things, so I took my own spin on things and see how it went. First off, I went with a basic Synchro feel to it, to see how it ran, after a few adjustments were made after careful planning:

2x Dark Dust Spirit
2x Fishborg Blaster
2x Izanagi
3x Nimble Sunfish
3x Oyster Meister
3x Royal Swamp Eel
3x Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth
2x Treeborn Frog
2x Yamata Dragon

Card Destruction
2x Hand Destruction
3x Magical Mallet
3x Mausoleum of the Emperor
3x Moray of Greed
2x Pot of Avarice
2x Terraforming

2x Royal Decree

Extra Deck

2x Ally of Justice Catastor
2x Ally of Justice Decisive Armor
2x Armory Arm
3x Black Rose Dragon
2x Iron Chain Dragon
2x Mist Wurm
2x Stardust Dragon

To say it simply, it's basically either A) Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth with Synchros to back him up, or B) Yamata Dragon with Izanagi to continue replenishing your hand. So, the basis of the deck was met, but it was continuing to miss something. Like LGQ said, the deck focuses more on Shooting Star Dragon more than anything, so I thought about what was missing. Then, I got the idea to modify the Decisive Fish build into a Shooting Star Dragon build:

3x 7 Colored Fish
2x Dark Dust Spirit
2x Deepsea Macrotrema
2x Fishborg Blaster
2x Izanagi
3x Nimble Sunfish
3x Royal Swamp Eel
3x Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth
2x Yamata Dragon

Card Destruction
2x Hand Destruction
3x Magical Mallet
3x Mausoleum of the Emperor
3x Moray of Greed
2x Pot of Avarice
2x Terraforming

2x Royal Decree

Extra Deck

2x Ally of Justice Catastor
2x Armory Arm
3x Formula Synchron
2x Iron Chain Dragon
3x Shooting Star Dragon
3x Stardust Dragon

So, instead of having other Synchros stay on the field with Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth, Shooting Star Dragon stays instead. Anyway, rate, fix, comment, thoughts, discuss. Enjoy!

I guess, it's time for me to stop with the "What if?" series for now. From what I notice, having multiple decks posted on here repeatedly, you guys can get quite bored, so I'm trying something new. From now on, I'll be focusing away from deck making for a while, due to the lack of pageviews. Instead, I'm going to try these things since a sparked interest rose when I posted one of my customs:
  • Focus more of my posts around customs and card discussion. (I haven't done card discussion in a while.)
  • Creating more Yu-gi-oh! custom lessons, since a spark of interest in that occured.
If there's any suggestions you want to see done, comment. Regardless, enjoy!

Winged Sorceress of the Twilight Night - Lieselotte

I think it's time for a change of pace. Normally, I would have some more "What if?" decks prepared for you, but it seems to me that the more I do them, the less interesting they get; however, I wanted to get some of the main ones out of the way, hence why most of my posts were towards it. So, now, I'll go ahead with a custom card.

Disclaimer: Yu-gi-oh! is created by Kazuki Takahashi in 1996. All Yu-gi-oh! Cards listed in here are not made for profit, and they are for the viewing enjoyment of the reader or viewer.

Winged Sorceress of the Twilight Night - Lieselotte
****** Attribute: Dark
[Spellcaster/Effect]
This card is also treated as a Winged-Beast type monster. When this card is Summoned, put 1 Twilight Counter on this card. By sending 1 card from your Hand to your Graveyard and removing 1 Twilight Counter from thsi card, you can add 1 LIGHT or DARK Spellcaster-Type monster from your Deck to your Hand.If your opponent controls a Winged-Beast-Type monster, you can remove 1 Twilight Counter from this card to take control of that monster.
ATK: 2300 DEF: 1600

~~~

Alright, I think you guys need to have another update to see what I'm up to:
  • I have more customs lined up for posting.
  • I do have 2 "What if?" decks ready, but due to real life problems, I won't be able to make more until those problems are resolved.
  • The reason why I didn't post another "What if?" deck is because the last several posts were focused on it. I just thought a change in flow was needed.
Regardless, enjoy!

“What if?” – Perfect Tualatin (use to be known as Perfect Christia) 1

Guess it’s time to solve this problem now. What if Archangel Christia was banned? With that nailed down, there’s not much else that can be done. Also, since the problem that occurred is that one of the aces being nailed down and shot down…until I realized one other card, and started to focus the deck around it.

Tualatin

If you controlled 2 or more monsters at the start of your opponent's Battle Phase, and all of them were destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card from your hand during that Battle Phase. If you do, declare an Attribute and destroy all face-up monsters with that Attribute. Your opponent cannot Normal Summon or Special Summon monsters with that Attribute.
ATK: 2800 DEF: 2500

With pointing out this card, I'll leave you with a deck list:

3x Herald of Perfection
3x Tualatin
3x Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands
3x Nova Summoner
3x Shining Angel
2x Hecatrice

"What if?" - Blackwings 1

Well, this might be a pickle for once, since some people decided to shut down ideals since the top card is just plain out gone. Hence why the “What if?” series was made. However, some players, unfortunately, won’t open their eyes towards a new idea, even if it was broken at first glance, because they think “OMG, YOU RUN A CHEAP DECK. YOU NEED TO GET SMACKED INTO OBLIVION.” At this point, I felt guilty, because I knew about the same situation a couple of months ago...

In the past, I decided to duel so that both players can walk away with a smile on their face. Since, they decided to be jerks and decide to be stupid in a sense, then, what’s the point in playing a game? I know “fun” is a relative term, but...some things just stick out and stay sour within your mouth after a while.

That isn’t the proper question to ask. I should ask this: “What happened?”

What if Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind, Blackwing - Blizzard the North Pole, Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor, and Black Whirwind were banned? Here’s the list:

3x Blackwing - Bora the Spear
3x Blackwing - Elphin the Raven
3x Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow
3x Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame
3x Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn
Gorz the Emissary of Darkness

Deck Explanations - "What if?" - Six Samurai and Fabled Infernity (small post)

For the Six Samurai deck, with those cards out of the way, you can apply some focus to certain cards, over those. In this case, you can focus on Great Shogun Shien and The True Six Samurai - Shien. Simple enough, eh?

For the Fabled Infernity deck, with those cards out of the way, you can focus more on the hybrid itself and cause enough damage as is and open up your offense to whatever is needed. Simple enough?

If you have any questions, or if you want to discuss further, leave a comment.

Sorry for not putting much in my post...

I've been busy this past week, and I decided making deck lists ASAP would be a good thing for you guys to keep interested while I work towards my real life ordeals and get them done and out of the way.

I'll still keep my quota and now, I'll be able to put more into my posts.

Regardless, hopefully you enjoyed the deck lists, because in the next few posts, I'll elaborate in detail why I made them and the strategy behind them.

Attempt with Vairon 1

So, I got a crazy idea because people were angry at Qu'lat spam, so I decided to think for myself and notice a good pattern erupting. As Rauzes said in the past (from this blog: http://gaijinduelist.blogspot.com/)(I don't remember exactly what post it is in.): "True Honest spammers use Armed Changers" So, I decided to test a theory with Vairons since most of them depend on Equips and they are Light monsters.

3x Vairon Ohm
3x Vairon Cube
2x Vairon Soldier
3x Vairon Vanguard
3x Vairon Sphere
3x Vairon Tetra
2x Honest

Monster Reborn
2x Release Restraint Wave
2x Hidden Armory
2x Armed Changer
2x Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen
3x Mage Power
3x United We Stand

Call of the Haunted

3x Royal Decree

Extra Deck
2x Vairon Sigma
3x Vairon Delta
3x Black Rose Dragon
2x Power Tool Dragon
3x Vairon Epsilon
2x Vairon Omega

~~~

It's basically an "All or nothing" strategy. Regardless, enjoy!

Happy Halloween! (short post)

Well, I think it's time for a short post for once.

"From the darkness stemming from your heart, will you feel the chill of your heart slowly increase dramatically as each day passes?"

I wanted to ask you this: Have you ever felt like having fun with other truly made you happy? So, my suggestion is, to actually find that one thing that truly makes you happy, and do it. Regardless, Happy Halloween! I know it's a bit early, but I'm going to be focusing on other things on the 31st, so I thought it might be time to take care of the post early. See you all in November.

Updates and Answer to Duel Puzzle #1

I updated the "What if?" X-Saber deck. For some reason, I thought I threw a Level 3 or lower Beast in there. Guess I didn't.


~~


~~

Please do not read below if you haven't completed the puzzle:

~~~~~~~~

The two answers I heard were this:

Answer #1: (which I'm not sure about because Arms Hole's last sentence)
Normal Summon Breaker the Magical Warrior to break Royal Decree.
Flip Old Vindictive Magician to destroy Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
Opponent chained with De-Fusion and you chain with Magic Jammer discarding Black Rose Witch.
Use Arms Hole to mill Pot of Duality, get Megamorph.
Monster Reborn Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
Equip Megamorph and attach it to Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
Attack directly. (8000 direct attack damage)

~~~

Two things I notice while a person pointed this out:

1) I wasn't sure that Arms Hole worked that way because the last sentence states "If you activate this card's effect, you cannot Normal Summon this turn." So, in essence, I assumed that you can't Normal Summon this turn.

2) If people thought of the easy way with this, and just stopped, then you need to question yourself on one thing: "Do you go straight forward with your decks and control your opponent to no return, making sure that you don't get screwed by your opponent, or do you prefer to have fun and enjoy creating situations?"

~~~

Answer #2: (My given answer)
Use Hand Destruction to send Black Rose Witch and Mist Valley Soldier and draw 2 cards, while your opponent sends Nova Summoner and Pot of Avarice to get 2 LIGHT monsters with 1700 total ATK.
Monster Reborn Mist Valley Soldier.
Use Arms Hole, milling Lightsworn Beast Wolf, to get Megamorph.
Tune Mist Valley Soldier with Lightsworn Beast, Wulf and Old Vindictive Magician for Ally of Justice Decisive Armor.
Equip Megamorph and attach it to Ally of Jusice Decisive Armor
Use Ally of Justice Decisive Armor's effect and attack Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon for game. (2100+1000+2100+1700+1100=8000)

The reason why I put this up is because I'm considering doing a card discussion on Ally of Justice Decisive Armor, which sparks some interest in my eyes.

~~~

I'm trying at the very least to get mroe people to ask questions and comment on some of my posts. Hence why I was curious and checked throughout the day. Anyway, regardless, here's the answer.

Wednesday, October 27, 2010

Duel Puzzle #1

Your Life Points: 100 Life Points
Your opponent's Life Points: 8000 Life Points

On your side of the Field, you have...
A face-down Defense Position monster (Old Vindictive Magician)
A face-down Spell and Trap Card (Magic Jammer)

On your opponent's side of the Field, you have:
A Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon in ATK position.
A face-down Spell and Trap Card (De-Fusion) and a face-up Royal Decree.

You have no Graveyard.

In your opponent's Graveyard, you have the following:
- Blue-Eyes White Dragon
- Blue-Eyes White Dragon
- Blue-Eyes White Dragon
- Polymerization
- Shining Angel
- Shining Angel
- Shining Angel
- Kaibaman

In your Hand, you have the following:
- Breaker the Magical Warrior
- Hidden Armory
- Monster Reborn
- Black Rose Witch
- Mist Valley Soldier
- Hand Destruction

In your opponent's hand, you have the following:
- Honest
- Nova Summoner
- Pot of Avarice
- Cyber Dragon
- The Light-Hex Sealed Fusion

The next two cards off the top of your Deck are: Pot of Duality and Torrential Tribute

It's your Main Phase. Bring your opponent's Life Points to 0. You have to win this turn. You can use whatever Synchro that is still legal in this puzzle and whatever card that you milled or card that you get from Arms Hole that is still legal in this puzzle.

~~~

Yes, I started off with an easy puzzle for you all, since I want to get use to making these puzzles. Hopefully, I can make them more harder in the future. Leave a comment if you want to leave an answer for the puzzle. Other than that, enjoy!

EDIT: There's at least 2 answers to this Puzzle. Have fun.

Comments:

In regards to my lack of posting, I've been busy with other tasks, so I haven't been paying much attention to anything, however, I'll be able to post some more before the month is up. Anyway, enjoy.

"What if?" - X-Sabers Deck

What if XX-Saber Fautroll and XX-Saber Darksoul is banned? What if the typical 1-1 cards are restricted to the point that they are not playable? Well, with these restrictions


3x XX-Saber Ragigura
2x X-Saber Palomuro
2x X-Saber Pashuul
3x XX-Saber Boggart Knight

3x XX-Saber Fulhelmknight

Skull Servants Deck

3x King of Skull Servants
3x The Lady in Wight
3x Wightmare
3x Magical Merchant
2x Dark Grepher
2x Armageddon Knight
3x Mystic Tomato
2x Zombie Master
Mezuki

Monster Reborn
Card Destruction
Foolish Burial
2x Pot of Avarice
2x Book of Moon
3x Book of Life

Call of the Haunted
Torrential Tribute
2x Trap Stun
2x Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
2x Desperate Treasure

~~~

Pretty simple, eh? Wolf in Sheep's Clothing is in there because King of Skull Servants is a Level 1 monster. Regardless, enjoy.

EDIT (10/22/2010): After a comment, I reconstructed the deck to reshape it.

Edits:
- 2 Escape from the Dark Dimension
- 1 Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
- 1 Desperate Treasure
- 2 Dust Tornados

+ 2 Zombie Master
+ 1 Mezuki
+ 1 Foolish Burial
+ 2 Trap Stun

Reason for changes: The deck was too focused and clogged up the hand filled with cards that I didn't want at the time. However, I'm able to defend myself, but when you don't get something for so long, it becomes old fast. Hence, the changes.

It's time for a resolve...

"Where fighting is not enough, sometimes, it is better to jump into the fire to destroy it from within."

Under a specific "what if", I will make the following decks:
  • Blackwings (Regular and Stun variants)
  • Lightsworn (Regular)
  • Gladiator Beasts (Regular)
  • Infernities (Regular, with Fabled, with Dark World, with both)
  • Dragunities (Regular, Merchant, Cyberdark)
  • Flamvells (Regular, Merchant)
  • Fabled (Regular, with Dark World, with Infernity, with both)
And also, I'll post the following:
  • Card Discussion: Skull Servant (family)
  • Card Discussion: Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
  • Making a Skull Servant deck
Any requests that I could do, you can comment with a suggestion.

Something I noticed...

Internet link that sparked this: http://decsilentenigmayt.blogspot.com/2010/10/this-game-is-going-to-shit.html

Discussion:
Whenever I notice around an online Yu-gi-oh! game where nothing is at stake, and everyone gets in for free, would they'll be people that understand the meaning of the words "competitive" and "casual". Just an annoying irk when I notice inside an online Yu-gi-oh! tournament, and it literally becomes a net-decking spree that everyone would push for the decks that they want most, and what they want least.

I am one of those players, that likes to switch between competitive and casual, but when people decide to go "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, THIS DECK SUCKS.", that's when it irritates me to no end, even when they didn't look at your deck. It's one thing that I want to test decks in tourneys. It's another thing when you know that people play with the decks that want them to "win" and "have fun". Man, it becomes ridiculous, and not worth it.

Now, you know that I make Yu-gi-oh! creations, but when I try to submit one of them to represent what somewhat resembles an icon, one of those idiots told me to weaken it, because someone was going to abuse it. Honestly, I can care less if they get abused. It just means, that someone's actually getting a use out of them, without my efforts going to waste. I shouldn't get the ridicule get to me, but yeah, it becomes ridiculous when people like that exist.

Now, let me ask you this: If I can't relax under good conditions of dueling because we all know that real life can bring a meteor down on our shoulders, should I pick out my opponents instead and try to have fun that way with creations? Or, should I stop caring in general, breakdown, and use what everyone else uses? Personally, I want to have fun, but at the same time, show people that they can be competitive in any situation. But with loud mouth players, it gets harder and harder each day...

Sorry about breaking down into a rant. I needed to relieve some stress that was overflowing and nothing more. Regardless, I'll continue to build decks and be creative, but at the same time, try to be competitive as much as possible. Hopefully, you have a nice day.

Sacred Knight Jeanne

Wikipedia Link: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Sacred_Knight_Jeanne

Discussion:

Well, this card can be interesting and useful at the same time. A 1900 beatstick with a downside: it decreases it's ATK by 300 during damage calculations. However, I'm not pointing out this card for nothing. Well, if you need a monster to replace with "The Warrior Returning Alive", might as well pick this card, because it is searchable by cards like "Reinforcements of the Army". Regardless, if you have cards that are limited, for example: Elemental Hero Stratos, I would suggest to run this card so that when you lose said monster, you would have another retrival process besides Pot of Avarice.

EDIT: Small edit, noticed something was off slightly after I thought about it for a bit. Sorry for giving the wrong idea.

Announcement 6

Well, I thought I explain a few things that I'm considering to change:
  • Considering making a Created Card page where a list of my creations will be on one page in full.
  • Leaving a link of Yu-gi-oh! related sites that can be handy to others.
  • Looking through other Yu-gi-oh! blogs and add them to my "Blogs I Recommend to Read".
Well, that's it for now.

Wednesday, October 6, 2010

Genex Ally Reliever and Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord

Seldom, I don't do this at times, but I thought I pass along a question to you guys?

If a Counter Trap is used to negate a card your opponent controls, can you summon both Genex Ally Reliever and Van'Dalgyon? I thought I might as well ask you guys this.


Van'Dalgyon's effect:
After a Counter Trap Card you control negates the activation of an opponent's card(s) or effect(s), you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Then activate the appropriate effects, based on the type of card negated:
• Spell: Inflict 1500 damage to your opponent.
• Trap: Select and destroy 1 card your opponent controls.
• Effect Monster: Select 1 monster in your Graveyard and Special Summon it.



Genex Ally Reliever's effect:
If the activation of an opponent's Spell Card, Trap Card, or Effect Monster's effect is negated, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.


This has been bothering me for a bit, and I've been wondering what can occur from this? I mean, they activate in different instances, but do they rule the same as every card that does that?


I just figured, "Might as well ask this before "OMG, WHAT'S THIS CARD?!"" Anyway, I've haven't been argued against summoning both or summoning one because the effects are different. So I ask you, can I summon one, or can I summon both?

Sunday, October 3, 2010

Chaos Goddess

Wikipedia Link: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Chaos_Goddess

How come I see not enough use from this? Anyway, what I've notice, the requirements are a little...costly, unless you use Level Stealer and that. So, I decide Chaos-End Master + Level 5 monster, activate Level Stealer, then tune for Chaos Goddess.

So, I'm considering using Magical Merchant to make this faster. But then again, I have to go further than usual to push for this to work.

So, I'm thinking...Chaos deck, anyone? With Polar God Loki, Thor, and Odin? This'll be interesting to see, eh?

Rise of the Darkbounds 1

I think it's about time for an Earthbound Immortal deck.

Earthbound Immortal Aslla piscu
Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu
Earthbound Immortal Uru
Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua
Earthbound Immortal Cusillu
Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua
Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca
3x The Dark Creator
2x Malefic Stardust Dragon
2x Hardened Armed Dragon
3x Mystic Tomato
2x Armageddon Knight

Allure of Darkness
Monster Reborn
2x Pot of Avarice
3x Terraforming
2x Ancient Forest
2x Savage Colosseum

Call of the Haunted
Torrential Tribute
Mirror Force
2x Offering of the Immortals
2x Revival of the Immortals
3x Apple of Frigg

Extra Deck

3x Stardust Dragon

~~~

Feel free to rate, fix, ask questions, comment, and discuss. Anyway, enjoy!

Side note: I made this after a suggestion to make a Card Discussion about Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca. I build this deck around two strategies: rushing with Darks, and Hardened Armed Dragon with Earthbound Immortal.

Wednesday, September 29, 2010

Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca


I think it's about time for another card to be explained. From what I've noticed, people focused more on Earthbound Immortal Aslla piscu, when this card has some potential as well...

For example...if you put it inside a DARK deck:

Pros:
- Mystic Tomato searchable
- Can be used as a Special Summon measure to stop your opponent's monsters from attacking.
- Is able to be Tribute Summoned easily

Allow me to elaborate on the last point, when you Special Summon an Earthbound Immortal immediately, you need to try to get it's effect off ASAP (like Earthbound Immortal Aslla piscu, when we all know that could mean bad things could happen to your opponent.) Now, with the Earthbound Immortal support and more people trying to gain hand and field presence, would this see more play under the correct deck, or is it just me?

Cons:
- Needs Field Spell Card active to live

That's an obvious negative towards an Earthbound Immortal, however thanks to Malefic Stardust Dragon, that shouldn't be a problem.

~~~

An obvious strategy I use is to Special Summon 1 Earthbound Immortal, tribute that Earthbound Immortal for the second Earthbound Immortal (satisfying the rule), and triggering the first Earthbound Immortal's effect (whatever that might be). Anyway, it's your choice on the mattter of what you want.

~~~

Anyway, enjoy. Feel free to comment or discuss.

Update to Eccentric Assault and Fairy Nurse Lily

Well, I don't have a new decklist today because of time restraints, however, I did update Eccentric Assault because I put it through good testing during the weekend. Anyway, follow this link if you want to see the updates to it: http://dangerascend.blogspot.com/2010/09/eccentric-assault.html

Anyway, since I couldn't make a deck list, I guess another custom is in order.

Fairy Nurse Lily
*** Attribute: Earth
[Spellcaster/Effect]
You can send 1 monster from your Hand to your Graveyard to increase this card's ATK by the sent monster's ATK only during the Damage Step. This card's effect can be activated only during the Damage Step of either player's turn. During your Standby Phase, increase your Life Points by the number of monster(s) in your Graveyard times by 200.
ATK: 400 DEF: 1500


Sorry, since one of my announcements said that I would focus more on deck lists; however, I updated 1 deck. Sorry, and enjoy.

Sunday, September 26, 2010

Announcement 5

Now, I know what to do. I've been checking to see how many views are being shown between each of my posts (for the last couple of months), so I decided to let you guys know of a few things.
  1. I'll focus on making more decks for people to view on here.
  2. If I'm unable to make a deck during this time, I'll post either some customs, or make a lesson for Created Cards.
Anyway, that's what I've noticed so far, when glancing.

Sonic Death

Another custom for the road. Anyway, enjoy!

Sonic Death
[Quick-Play Spell Card]
You can only activate this card when a monster on your Field is destroyed by battle. Activate one of the following effects: (*)Destroy 1 monster your opponent controls. (*) Your opponent sends 1 card from his hand to the Graveyard.



Anyway, this time I chose to put up a picture of a card with the actual text of the card. Thought I try something different for once.

Friday, September 24, 2010

Anyway, without further ado, I'll put up the next ideals that I have in mind:
  1. Make a Yubel/Phoenix build. (I always wanted to try this destruction lock out, so I'll get to informing you guys over the next few days about it.)
  2. Creating more customs (as always)
  3. Considering making Lesson 2 for the Created Card Lessons.
Anyway, I don't mind if you show me my mistakes by commenting. It just tells me that people have taken interest to my blog. Also, you can learn from your mistakes and hopefully never do them again. Anyway, have fun.

On a side note, looks like I won't be able to color code my cards, for now. Sorry. (It happened with last deck and now this one.)

EDIT: From a comment, I realized that one of the cards that I put in this deck didn't work, because namely I forgot to read the effect throughly, and skimmed it. Now, that comment came to my attention, and now I fixed it.

-2x Blackwing - Breeze the Zephyr
+2x Dark Resonator

See. Everyone makes mistakes at some time, right? o.o

Second edit: More changes because I actually decided to put some effort into this deck in order for it to work.

Moved Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn to my Side Deck. Added 3 Cyber Dragons to the main deck. Add the remainder of the Extra Deck. Included the Side Deck. Anyway, rate, fixes, comment, or discuss.

Anyway, here's the first stab at this deck. Also, credit to the idea goes here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2X0-m_KgLs&feature=player_embedded#%21. It made me realize how strong Flamvells are, and I decided to push for all 3 instead of just Savior-Buster. Regardless enjoy, and yes, I took some concepts of the deck, but added some of my own to it. (Namely, the defensive end because if I don't get what I need, there's no point.) I'll revise it when I get some time. Rate, fix, comment, whatever, just enjoy!

Announcement 3

Please assume that there's more than 1 lesson for Created Cards. It's just the first lesson is the "If you think you can make a broken card just to "win", don't bother." I'm trying to kill the self-esteem for the person that WANTS to do such things.

Regarding the Savior-Buster deck, I'm not sure if I'll have time to make it currently, however, I'll be able to work on it in parts.

Creations will be posted as often as I'm available. Letting you know ahead of time.

Just giving you a heads up. Regardless, enjoy.

Created Card Lesson 1 - How do you make Created Cards?

Honestly, there's nothing that you can do to prepare for this? If you know how to play the game itself, that's fine; however, if you can think you can make a broken card because you want to "win", then stop reading and move on to the next post, please, because that's what this post is NOT about. Now, to settle some basic statements:


1) There's no set boundary to what you can make. You can make whatever your heart desires, but be warned, because if it doesn't work well enough or if it's too requirement heavy, you'll never see the use of that card.


2) However, in some cases, you need to focus on two things: "Broken by design vs. Broken on how it is played".


Typically, I would go through each way to push for creativity, but in this case, not exactly. If you push for something that they have no understanding of, then there's no point in them pushing for more knowledge. So I decide to push for one final look and decided to give them a basic point on where some cards lie.


Broken by design:


Typically, these cards would be rejected on how they are seen. For example, you don't want a card that blows up your opponent's cards each turn. For example:


Destruction of Hope

[Continuous Spell Card]

During each Phase of your opponent's turn, destroy all cards on your opponent's side of the Field. This card cannot be removed from the Field by your opponent's card effects.


Pretty self-explanatory, this card is broken beyond belief and whoever made this card needs to stop trying. If you start off with this as your basis, then don't bother making cards, because no one wants to see One Turn Kills (OTKs) run loose.


Broken on how it is played:


This one is the more fun of the two. It shows that you know how it works, AND the cards themselves are usable to the point of where people want to play them for what they are. However, it can get pointless making these types of cards, because if everyone breaks it, then it'll soon be rejected. I won't give an example of this, because there is no set example. You need to figure this one out, on your own.


Final Comments:


Well I explained the basis of both of those, and basically told you that there's no set path you can take while making these. Regardless of what you think, I still want people to try and make some cards, because:


1) It is fun.


2) It is a perfect way to enjoy yourself while waiting for an appointment or if you have some free time.


In any case, it doesn't matter what you decide to do. The choice is yours.

Armored Maiden - Sylphie

It's been a small while so I'll post a card.

Armored Maiden - Sylphie
****** Attribute: Light
[Warrior/Effect]
When your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Normal Summon this card without Tribute. In this case, the original ATK of this card becomes 1800. If this card destroys a monster by battle, you can send 1 card from your Hand to your Graveyard to add 1 Warrior-type monster from your Graveyard to your Hand.
ATK: 2300 DEF: 1500

Sorry, that I haven't posted for a while. I just haven't got enough inspiration, that's all. Anyway, enjoy!

Update 2

Sorry that I haven't been on as of late. Anyway, from what I figure out, I need to figure out what I have to do with the Savior/Buster deck. So, I'll do it in three paths.
  1. Build a Stardust Dragon/Buster deck.
  2. Then, build a Savior Star Dragon deck.
  3. Then, combine the two.
Hopefully, I'm able to finish it for a while. Anyway, thought I might post and keep it alive. Also, I've decided on a new Creation route for my Created Cards. Hopefully, I'll be able to add them here as well.

Anyway, have fun dueling.

Update 1

Right now, my focus is on combining Shooting Star Dragon with Stardust Dragon/Buster for nice creative means. It also means that more deck testing is to ensue and more creativity would be shown from me.

Anyway, that's all for right now.

Scrap-Iron Trap Hole

Yu-gi-0h! Wikipedia Link: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Scrap-Iron_Trap_Hole

Discussion:

I know this card isn't real, but I thought I might bring it up. Since Starlight Road made people fear the fact that card's presence can't field bomb freely without getting screwed by Stardust Dragon. With this card, however, will that fear be placed towards Special Summoning from the Extra Deck, in general? Or, will it place that fear in having that card face-down while Starlight Road becoming common?

So, what I'm asking: What will happen once this card is released? And if it is released, what would the fate of this card be?

Considering...

The last few days, the following things I considered:
  • Making more Created Cards based off an idea from a book.
  • Making a new deck based off a vision that I had when I saw "Tech Genus - Blade Gunner MAXX - 1000" in 5Ds at one time.
Thanks to the new ban list, I'm able to create that deck with Snipe Hunter at 2. Unfortunately for people's reactions, I know how they would react by this deck returning. Unfortunately for them, I can care less at this point. Unfortunately, they nailed Tech Genus - Blade Gunner. Fortunately, I can just replace that one with a more lethal one.

Anyway, that's my train of thought for the last few days.
