The KiD

 The best part of playing aliens is when you summon alien KID and say: "The KiD is on the house"

Yes, I 'm having a really good time playing aliens. 

The emperor's holiday

I have been using The Emperor's holiday against insektor, and it usually works, except when the opponent draw mst. :S

It stop hornet, lady bug, giga-mantis and zetkaliber, so they don't gain the boost atk.

I have Time!!!

So, I finally have some time to write again. I have been playing many things on DN and I have some things to comment about.

I have been trying to use king of the skull servant with Wigthmare, it is good in a sort of chaos variant, because wightmare let you control the number of darks in the grave. However, the deck is not really good, I don't know if it is my fault or is because the idea is bad, even though it have some awesome moves. Anyway, check the decklist and then I will explain how all this suppose to work:

3 King of the skull servant
3 Wightmare
3 Mystic piper
2 Level eater
1 Sangan
3 Quickdraw synchron
3 Eclipse wyvern
2 Red-eyes darkness metal dragon
3 Lightpulsar dragon
1 Darkflare dragon
1 Chaos sorcerer
1 Black luster soldier
2 tragoedia
1 Gorz
3 veilers

2 Tuning
2 A dog's chance
1 Reborn
1 Allure
1 One for One
1 Heavy Storm

So, You probably don't see the pattern here. The first combo is removing eclipse and skull servant to summon a chaos monster, Then I will use wightmare to summon skull servant from the RFG and attack with it. Of course, all this have to happen on a late game. So, I tried to add some light and dark cards to establish a first turn play. that's why I add 3 pipers and 2 tragoedias. Between the spells cards we have "one for one" to bring piper or skull servant and put some cards on the grave quickly. A dog's chance accomplish the same purpose, you just need to summon tragoedia and change his level to1. or bring back level eater from the grave and use a dog's chance to get piper.

Talking about level eater, the card is awesome. Many of you already know that, it is a key card on junk doppel, and it was a useful element on scraps, fableds among others. On this deck, level eater let you do 4 different things:

1.- It let you active and use a dog's chance successfully. Because you need to normal summon or you loss 2000 damage.

2.- It protect your life points. Even if your opponent find a way to destroy pulsar and redmd, he won't touch your life points if he doesn't have another monster.

3.- It change Monster levels. Which is really important right now. You can change pulsar and sorcerer  level to 5. That allow you to summon Tiras or Adreus. You have Darkflare and Quickdraw for that to.

4.- Easy Quickdraw summon. With level eater and a lot of chaos monster you can summon quickdraw without any problem. You can summon Pulsar/chaos sorcerer, use eater eff and tribute to summon quickdraw, then use eater eff again and syncro summon drill warrior.

5.- Two level eater makes easy Golden Rat summons, which means you have an extra engine to draw more cards and add a light monster to the grave.

By the way, Drill warrior is one the of the best card for a chaos deck. It allow you recover piper to constantly draw, or veiler to constantly negate effects. You can send redmd or skull monsters to prepare your grave for big plays. And you can retrieve chaos sorcerer or BLS.

I will upload some videos about the deck soon. I promise.

Gold series 5 is only Meta Predictor

I always saw gold series like a warning for things to come. The first gold series brought us breaker the magical warrior, months after that breaker was unbanned. The gold series 2 brought us "exiled of the wicked", a card that destroy all fiends on the field. The next year, infernity arrived to the meta. And gold series 4 brought us Eradicating aerosol, a card that destroy all insect on the field. A year from that, insektor came out. Also, BLS was reprinted and then unbanned.

So, now we can see gold series 5 and ask ourselves, There is something here that will impact the future?

Many amazoness warrior were reprinted just before the new amazoness support were released. So, we could expect some new dark scorpion support for the next format.

Barkion and Beast are good on six samurai and karakuri, so probably neither of them will be hit by the ban list.

Too many zombies appear on gold series 5, could we see a zombie come back on the next format??


I already tested the next structure deck and it is really good. However, you will need three hanzos to play it. I will show you some videos when I finish some issues of my personal life.

Tag Duel

I think I never talk about my personal life on this blog. I mean, my personal yugi-oh life. So, maybe is time to through some light on that.

I'm a tournament organizer on Cordoba, Spain. Some friends and I made a project to use a government house to play card games. The entire House is used for children's activities, we only made to project to use one room, one day, each week. The project was approved, so we go a play in a safe and nice play, where nobody messes with us, or nobody is forcing us to buy anything. I'm really proud of all we build there, if you want to know more about it, you can check CordobaDeck's blog.

We decide to spice things a little since the format become so nasty. That is the point when I re-designed the Tag Duel rules. This new rules are pretty similar to old UDE rules about tag duels, 2 (A and B) players play against 2 (C and D) players in teams and take turns to make the moves. So First turn is player A, second Turn is player C, then Player B, and finally D. Then it goes to player A again and so on.

The new thing here is the entire team has to follow the ban list. For example, only one player (A or B) can have heavy storm in the deck. Another new rule is that both players share the field, the graveyard and RFG, but they don't share the deck, the extra deck or their hands. This means that you can syncro or xyz summon with the monsters of your partner, or use call of the hunted on your partner monster. The best part maybe is that you can remove your partner monster to summon light Pulsar or chaos Sorcerer.

The result was delightful, we played an entire tournament with 6 teams and it was fun as hell. The winner was a Twilight-inzektor team. If you want to know more about the rules you can read on this link, but it is in spanish. I can translate it if anyone really want it.

I hope you like this idea.

A lot of things to say

I know I haven't post as usual as I used to, I really haven't too much time for that. And as you can read for my older posts, I don't feel on the mood. However I have a lot of things to say, one of those things is Heavy storm.

Heavy storm had to come back after all people setting their entire back row. It was clear to all of us, that the psychological effect of heavy storm in the game is important. However, right now I think we all see thing a little different. Wind-up, chaos dragon and heriatics are creating some many OTKs everywhere, and we can't create a backrow defense because of Heavy storm (and MST at 3). We also have Insektor, Rabbit and DW, they are not as deadly as the other three, but the presence of heavy is also a problem against them. We could think this is konami's fault and maybe it is, but that is not the point. Heavy storm become a problem by itself, it makes lightsworm, karakuri and agents really deadly. Somehow we forgot how broken is Heavy storm, and why it shouldn't be on the game.

What we need is something with the same effect of heavy storm, but with more cost or harder to play, I mean less broken. That is why I thought Heavy storm will be banned when Storm and Absorbing Jar was created, but it didn't happen. In fact, any card that should be banned was not banned in March. But today things become more clear to me.

First we have Poseidra as the boss monster of the next structural, wich effect only work on a format without heavy. And now we have an exclusive Heavy storm for the water archtype (Abyss-Strom) that send cards (not destroy). So, right now I feel pretty sure of heavy storm is going to be banned on september.

The result is pretty simple; we will be able to build a defense line against Insektor, Wind-up and heriatics. Older decks like BW, GB or GK will rise again, but only the decks which can be abuse of "Storm" will reach the competitive level, like Ninjas. Also ninjas have a lot of synergy with dragons, sea serpents and dinosaurs, three archetype that are well supported right now.

Honestly I see the game going in a good direction in september, if I'm right...

Alien invasion

I have been testing aliens lately and it give me good results. It has hard matchs, but any rouge deck on this format has it so. The best part is the possibility to use prohibition to stop Hornet or rescue rabbit, however it become almost a dead draw against chaos deck because I'm forced to call lyla or ryko or prohibition gets destroyed. 

The deck in general has some strong points that I will be glad to discuse after you see the decklist:

Monster

3 A Warrior

3 A KID

1 A telepath

3 A ammonite

3 A dog

2 Rai-oh

1 Honest

Magic

1 MST

2 Prohibition

3 Code A ancient ruins

2 Mysterius triangle

3 duality

trap

2 bottomless

2 Warnings

2 planet popullant virus

2 starlight

1 mirror foce

1 Solem judgment
1 Torrential Tribute
2 Offering to the snake deity

In a format like this, a lot of decks are constantly special summon monsters on the field, I can deal with them easily with alien kid and mysterious triangle. Also offering to the snake help a lot, but the best trap card is popullant virus, it is like raigeki with an added bonus. Prohibition is an usual side card against inzektor, but it can be usefull against dw, rabbit, wind-up, among others. It can be twice as usefull if you can take back prohibition to your hand to change the target according to the game state. But probably many of you don't know to put back prohibition to your hand. That is the great ability of the alien syncro monster.

I will make a few videos to show you how fun it is, but since DN don't have a system to track counter, I only play this deck against friends. If anyone want to duel me, you can do it.
