GenCon Indy

OmGz guys, it's down to almost 2 more weeks till GenCon Indy xD
I'm SUPER excited for it because I had a BLAST last year with the guys ^_^ Still debating on what to run for the Shonen Jump (like always) although I know I'll be expecting the usual 40% Blackwings, 30% Lightsworn, 25% Cat Synchro, and 5% everything else....

I've tried almost all the decks so far except Cat Synchro... Well, I've tried it and gave up on it because Cat Synchro made Yu-Gi-Oh not fun for me anymore.... so gotta steer clear from those decks lol* =/

I'll be posting up a new YouTube vid for everyone soon enough for Deck of the Month - July and most likely I'll be doing Lazaro Bellido's Cat Synchro deck... I'm sure a lot of you guys will love it because I did... for someone who's not a fan of Cat Synchro, I Liked It.

So keep checking out my vids and look out for it ^_^
Yeah I know my Deck of Month is SOOO late, but at least it made it during July lol* =p

Luv you all & thanks for all your support by watching/commenting/rating the vids, reading and following my blog/twitter...most of all --clicking the ads ^_^ ♥♥ lol*

The new metagame.com

So I was browsing around in the Yu-Gi-Oh world and saw that Jae Kim, awesome duelist/writer/friend and more, has his own Yu-Gi-Oh! blog going on with his own site. While looking through his site, I scrolled down to links and more and stuff and saw this:


Sorry that it uploaded small, but it says "Audrey Tan's (Dale Bellido's Honey Muffin Bear) Yu-Gi-Oh! Blog" CUTEST thing in the world ^___^

I advise everyone checking it out because he has EVERYTHING you want to know about ANYTHING on his website.
From the tech's, to the new cards -- like what use to be metagame.com (where everyone would get their net-decking from, this is it guys.

To visit him, go under "click to check out these sites" and click on "Jae Kim -- the new metagame.com"

Formats & Decks

For the passed few formats, it's been all about the same deck played everywhere (when you want to win) which i'm pretty sure all of us does lol* Although, THIS format is a sack-fest format, no lies. It's no longer about skill as much as it does have to do with LUCK. There's blackwings (sack-fest+swarm), lightsworns (sack-fest+swarm) and synchro-cat (when you draw the "nuts", it's over)
Let's take a look at the passed few decks from the passed few formats shall we?

Gladiator Beasts:
Man that deck is pretty dominating for quite some time. So much control with so many negations... pretty ridonkulous. With that deck, you actually need to know what you're doing and be able to negate at the right time instead of just spamming those Solemn Judgements when you didn't need to or Dark Bribing everything that happens, just to negate. So much hand and field control considering everything g-beast has it's own effect to create the massive control.
...hence limiting Gyzarus and Bestiari to 1

Tele-DAD:
Now that deck was explosive and too broken, hence the fact that EVERYONE who had money at the time, played the deck with their own "techs". I remember when DarkArmedDragon was to 3 and they each cost about a leg and an arm to buy =/ now THAT was retarded. Although that era was amazing because of the Malicious and tech Gardna's for graveyard control with D-Hero - Doom Lord (an extra dark) for removing the stuff that can't be killed and make way for the OTK.
....hence limiting DarkArmedDragon to 1 and D-Hero Malicious to 2

Lightsworns:
Now THIS deck is pure sack-age and swarm when you get your cards. It's a top tier deck, but inconsistently played, hence now winning enough jumps/regionals. You either draw your cards by luck or mill them =( lol* Although this deck is not consistent enough, it's still explosive with bigger monsters... Judgement Dragon is just too good, as well as Celestia.
...hence limiting Judgement Dragon to 2

Blackwings:
Man, this new deck blackwings... like lightsworns, where it swarms the field when you get the right cards, but unlike lightsworns, your hand as well as your percentage of drawing your cards are much greater than lightsworns. You can easily special summon LOTS of cards when you have that GOD hand, as well as their support card "Kalut" that can push that extra 1400 damage, then easily synch up to DarkStrikeFighter and launch for GAME.
...hence I predict that either DSF or BlackWhirlwind will be limited soon enough.

Synchro-Cat:
Honestly, I think that only certain people can play this deck to the fullest capacity with SKILL involved. You'd think it's straight forward with that to do, but it really isn't when you think of it. Not only do you have to think about which synchro monster to bring out when needed to, you also have to think about hand/field advantage, depending on the match-up. It's a deck that has a lot of outs due to the support cards like mind controls and what-not due to Summoner Monk.
...hence I predict a limited Rescue Cat involved? Or a possible "new ruling" -_-"

Blackwings

Alright,
So Saturday was Cardmasters tournament thing for x amount of dollars as first place... It was honestly the first time I played with Blackwings and yeeaahh... first tourney and everything, I HATED it. I would probably want to rather have a more aggressive version of it if anything and take out Solemn Judgements.

Blackwing vs....

Lightsworns just swarm way too fast and has too much advantage against it since their monsters are usually bigger unless I draw into the bigger guys or Gale... or Synchro up into something else.

Synchro Cat just has so much control with the quick Arcanite Magician and Mind Controls... as well as the X-Sabers that hits hands =(

Even if they have these dis-advantages, Blackwings have different builds that create more advantages against certain decks like adding certain tech cards (ie. DDV, etc.) making it super awesome

Overall, I'm not as impressed as I thought I would've been using Blackwings... My play style with how I play Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't mix well with how you're suppose to play Blackwings... if anything, I may have to change the deck a bit more in order to have it go with my play style =)

...up next, Synchro Cat perhaps? hahaha !!

Siiiigghh*

So this Yu-Gi-Oh game is getting boring just because this format is ridiculously not well-put together. Once again, Yu-Gi-Oh has another ridiculous format where everyone is leaning towards a certain 1-2 decks to want to invest in.

I wanna spice things up a bit... I'm thinking of hanging my Lightsworn career and thinking of leaning towards a new deck to use, just because LS mirror matches are ridiculously hard -_-"
It's basically and honestly whoever draws the nuts and goes first. That's it.

Hmm... what deck to use.... *looks at Dale & Lazaro for new deck ideas?* hahaha! xD
We'll see what I like =)
