Scheduling Posts and Thoughts/Questions

I've decided to schedule a bunch of posts ahead of time, at least for some months, so that I can focus in on other things; however, I don't think people realize how to schedule posts on Blogger, so I'll point it out:

Under "Post Settings", there's a Schedule Button. Click it, and it drops down that area into 2 areas you can check off. Check off "Set date and time", and it'll show a calender where you can click on whatever date you like and whatever time you like. Afterwards, click "Done" to finish scheduling the post date and when it will be posted on your blog.

For the new decks that I'll start working on when the new ban list is revealed, I want to ask you this question: "For Dark Worlds, which Field Spell would you prefer?" (Both card images came from Yu-gi-oh! Wikia.)


OR


Why am I asking this? In the current meta, I decided to think outside of the box, and come up with a new tactical plan. The problem is this: "If I'm going to need discards, I would consider an option where it doesn't force you to set anything to "set up your play"." The next question would be the same for the Field Spells, but this time, it would be the most preferred: "For a discard effect to use Dark World, which one out of the two cards shown below would you pick?"


OR


More will be discussed in February.

Yu-gi-oh! Testing Deck Discussion - Testing Phase 2

Aliens: It passed Testing Phase 1, and still continued to do well in Testing Phase 2.

Uriasworn: It passed Testing Phase 2, because the blend it had continued to wreck through everything in its path. It made me very pleased when it was able to get over some stuff that it couldn't before when it had 2 versions of a Continuous Trap Card for Lightsworns. Also with Uria summoning, to reduce the cost of how much resources you lose in comparison to your opponent, you can use Safe Zone as a sacrifice, and you can have it send your opponent's monsters to the Graveyard, when Safe Zone is sacrificed for the summoning of Uria.

Worms: It's doing much better than before, where it get stopped by a Spell and Trap card that instantly rejected what I was going to do, then I didn't have a back-up plan due to that. I'm going to wait until after March 1st to retest this deck a bit.

Anyway, I'll mention this: I have a typical habit of testing the flow of these decks on Dueling Network, which I get a good idea on how it flows and on how it does in the long run. Anyway, I've decided to work on a Dark World variant for March 1st, just in case asking the question: "What would you do when you face off against certain Tier 1 decks that you can't immediately get around and fight them?"

Anyway, I decided to wrap up deck-building for this blog at the end of this month, which leaves the last post wondering "What will it be talking about?" I will be explaining how to schedule posts, because it wouldn't be fair if I didn't tell you how to do it, when I'm doing it right in front of you. Anyway, enjoy!

Yu-gi-oh! Side Deck Discussion - Aliens I

There wasn't any necessary changes that is needed for the Main Deck and the Extra Deck. If you want to see both the Main Deck and the Extra Deck, go here. Anyway, here's the Side Deck:


Side Deck:

Alright, the reason why this side deck seems to be better suited to make Aliens into a deck that can take a beating is to modify the deck to counteract against decks better. Anyway, rate, comment, fix, thoughts, and discuss.
