Oh Blackwings...
So, Blackwings has done it again... nothing's changed except that Synchro Cat is almost impossible to pull off and Lightsworn is still as sack-ish (hence why it wasn't touched), Gladiator Beast are still too small and doesn't set up fast enough without hurting itself (restricting the Solemn Judgement to 1) and Blackwings.... oh these Blackwings... They restrict Gale, but have Vayu which is even easier for a "let's-synchro-summon-for-fun-just-because-we-can" play. *sigh*Blackwings swarm and "man-up" so fast it's ridiculous. I think that one of the main cards used with this deck is what makes the deck so easy to control is.. (drum rolls....) Icarus Attack. I'm sure you all can relate with that one card that breaks balls when you ThiNk you have advantage when all along, they had you all set up and you just fall for it. Mann... Well, you all saw what deck won the SJC, even WITH the 9 Lightsworn decks...

Upperdeck
Man I miss Upperdeck... Ever since Konami took over, I WANT TO START POKEMON or CHAOTIC for better prize support with no more random pairings... -_-"
Here are Konami's SJC Prizes for SJC Orlando tomorrow:
All players receive 5 packs for paying the participation fee of $20.
1st place – Dark End Dragon SJC Prize Card, Trophy, Paid travel to Nationals (if underage, then winner and guardian) or another SJC (flight and accommodations only), Game Mat
2nd place – Dark End Dragon SJC Prize Card, 32 GB iPod Touch, iPod docking station with speakers, Game Mat
3rd place – Dark End Dragon SJC Prize Card, Wii with YGO Wheelie Breakers Wii game, Game Mat
4th place – Wii with YGO Wheelie Breakers Wii game, Game Mat
5th – 8th place – DSi with YGO World Championship 2009, Game Mat
9th – 16th place – YGO World Championship 2009, Game Mat
Don't get me wrong, the "Everyone gets 5 packs for entering" is fine and dandy but 1st place sucks...
What happened to the Laptop + PS3 + Prize Card + Mat, etc... It hurts so much that there's a "Paid travel to Nationals" when Canadian Nationals are in EFFIN TORONTO. 30 EFFIN MINS AWAY... as it's always been. Are you kidding me?! I say replace that $1oo+ partial prize and just give me the money or something... or better yet, a Gift Certificate to Best Buy or something... cuz WTH man -__-"

I'm excited for them and wish I could have gone with them, but couldn't because I'm low on funds at the moment lol* =(

Well, I want Dale to win, obviously lol* He can come back to me with a trophy and more this time ^_^
..come to think of it, I don't even know the prizes =/

Koa'ki Meiru Drago
Okay, Obviously you can't just main this card because of it's first effect, but OmGz Koa'ki Meiru Drago is effin' AMAZING.
It's a Dragon *Wind Type* Monster with the effect of the following:
"During each of your End Phases, destroy this card unless you send 1 "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand to the Graveyard or reveal 1 Dragon-Type monster in your hand. LIGHT and DARK monsters cannot be Special Summoned."
I played against a dragon deck with my Lightsworn and could not do anything with this stupid card on the field unless I have an honest because obviously, with Dragon decks, they have a lot of special summons with huge Dragon Cards on the field and Honest would be the only thing to run them down -_-"
Don't get me wrong, I did win a few games against the deck, but when that deck draws awesome and gets the right cards right away, it's pretty hard to get around that considering it's a 1900 beater.
At least with LS, I have Celestia, but with Dark Decks and Blackwing decks, it might be a little harder to get over all that unless you draw your Icarus Attacks or whatever else monster removal you may main.
I just think it's a good card IMO as long as you run the Deck made for and around this card lol* but that's just me. =p

Yu-Gi-Oh at Card Masters
So today I went to Card Masters and it was the second official day that I played new format lol* So yesterday didn't really go so well because I kept drawing terrible and today didn't really help either... put it this way, I drew bad first game and scooped up the rest of the day and let Jason Tan play for me instead. lol* To me, once you draw terrible, the rest of the day will draw out terrible, so why proceed to play just to keep drawing terrible, right?
Plus side to that, is me and a few guys went to Dairy Queen... yumm... They have this new flavor "Cookie Jar" I think? but omgz guys it was SO yummy and broken.
All that aside, I'll be placing a new video soon enough. A quick tips and hint video #2 on what to side with... (fill in the blank) so that I can help you guys contribute with smashing other decks effectively =) hahaha!
yay !!
Stupid decks. lol* ^__^
Honestly, I hate siding myself because there's nothing you can properly side with LS because the odds of drawing those cards instead of milling them is still slim to none right? Compared to a more versatile deck with real drawing power and hand control... but I will try and make these cards as playable as possible.
Well, it's 3:51am now and it's time to head to sleep because sleeping late is never good right? lol* night night all !! Tomorrow's another day =)
Laterdays

New Format Decks
Going to one of my locals, I scoped out the area to see what decks are running around and found so much variety everywhere !! I LOVE IT. Although, since ban list is STILL fresh, people still has their cards from old format and decided to stick with them.There's still the odd Blackwings with new card support like Vayu, Lightsworns without the Card Of Safe Return (since it wasn't touched during updated banned list), plenty of Skill Drain decks with card support such as Beast King Barbaros, Gladiator Beast using Ancient Forest as a tech card. It's pretty vague on which deck is the "deck-to-play" and everyone is racing to see what is the better build with which tech cards works the most before Shonen Jump Orlando comes around the corner.
