ANPR-JP069
[フォーチュン・スリップ]
[Fortune Slip]
Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent declares an attack with a monster, negate that attack and remove the attack target of that monster away from the game till the standby phase of your next turn.
Right reading from the text, although this card protects your monster from your opponent's attacks, it doesn't destroy the attacking monster and removes your own monster away from the game too! So how does this actually help you turn the tables around if you are up against a high powered and irritating monster that your opponent is controlling?
So here goes, how about letting [Fortune Slip] remove some kind of monsters that has an effect while being removed away from the game? Or when leaving the field too! Monster cards like [Fortune Lady Lighty] and [E-HERO Absolute Zero] has a effect that is to be activated when they leave the field. [Fortune Lady Lighty] has an effect to special summon another [Fortune Lady] when it leaves the field and as for [E-HERO Absolute Zero], an absolute destruction to your opponent's monsters can be assured when it leaves the field.
Or how about powering up monsters that has been powered down by their effects? Using this card to remove away from the game a 1900 attack strength [God Beast King Babaros] will return it back to the field during the end phase to its normal 3000 attack strength! Or... How about using [Fortune Slip] on a 800 attack strength [Light And Darkness Dragon]? You will be able to use its negating effect again once it has returned to your side of the field with a full 2800 attack strength!
There can also be a very very lame or funny combo to be done with [Fortune Slip]! Here goes nothing!
Step 1: Your opponent has 2 monsters, one of them focus its attack on your [Necro Gardna]
Step 2: Activate [Fortune Slip] and remove your [Necro Gardna] away from the game!
Step 3: Your opponent's second monster declares an attack!
Step 4: Activate [Burial From A Different Dimension] and return [Necro Gardna] to the graveyard!
Step 5: Remove [Necro Gardna] away from the graveyard and block that attack =/...
Now from the above, you can also see that [Burial From A Different Dimension] can also be a threat against your monster that has been removed away from the game by [Fortune Slip]. Returning your [God Beast King Babaros] or even [Light And Darkness Dragon] and not allowing it to return to the field can be a very big loss. So do watch out for it!
Well thats all for today's card review! Will be doing another one on time next week! Gotacha! Goulian Signing off~!

1x Torrential Tribute
2x Waboku
Well above is the decklist for the [Kuriboh Emperors]! Its been awhile since I last had a new deck idea in my mind. Till then which I thought that there were extremely no draw power for this deck until... The card [Allure of Darkness] came to my mind! The combo of activating [Kuriboh Calling Flute] to add a [Kuriboh] to your hand and then using it as a bait for [Allure Of Darkness] seems tempting! So I decided to try it out! Who knows it does work well! However inconsistency does happens in this deck, because there is no level 4 monsters! Its either your monsters are way to big to summon, or way to small to fight against your opponent's monsters.
The common combo for this deck would be first to activate [Kuriboh Calling Flute] to summon out either [Hane Kuriboh] or [Kuriboh] and release them for a advance summon of a [Emperor] monster! However which ever [Hane Kuriboh] or [Kuriboh] you choose is important, because they can also be bait for 2 of the more powerful cards such as [Chaos Sorcerer] and [Dark Armed Dragon].
Since the appearance of the Psychic-Type monsters and also [Emergency Teleport]. Advance summoning and Synchro summoning has became a sinch until [Emergency Teleport] was restricted to a copy per deck! Well it still helps in these 2 ways in this deck. For quick Advance Summoning wise and as for Synchro Summoning wise, we have quite alot of level 6 monsters, which combines with [Clevonce] for level 8 Synchro monsters. Or if all fails, you can always Synchro a level 1 [Kuriboh]/[Hane Kuriboh] with [Psycho Commander] for [Arms Aid]! [Mental Master] helps in tuning with the level 6 [Emperors] for [Dark Dive Bomber] and [Black Rose Dragon]! [Cyber Dragon] is also in the deck for either a versatile level 5 or for the advance summoning of higher level monsters.
Anyways, I've tried this deck against [Lightlords] and [Black Feathers], hadn't had a chance to test it against the famous [AKB] deck because Baha was too lazy to form it back for me to try against! Anyways it was not a very good result against [Black Feathers]. Seems like this deck doesn't have the extra speed to face off again them yet. More tuning will be required!
However when faced off against [Lightlords], speed for this deck ain't really a problem. The defenses of this deck suppresses the [Judgement Dragon]'s ability to keep blowing the field up! Try blowing a set card which is actually a chain-able [Kuriboh Calling Flute] and see what happens! It actually gives us a chance to shield ourselves with [Hane Kuriboh]! Trap cards such as [Waboku] is also quite a card to safeguard against [Lightlords] as well. Works as well as a [Kuriboh Calling Flute] =X... What Baha said about this deck facing [Lightlords] was... "Colin, I think before you even can win them properly, they would have already decked out!" LOL! True might be a slow victory, but if it secures you a win. Why not? =D
I will continue to test against other kinds of deck to see how well will this deck fare against them. And I will continue to tune this deck to its highest limits too! So in the meantime, any ideas from you readers out there will be greatly appreciated! Oh my, its 1.30am in the morning! Time to go! Cya people!

Round 1 VS Tuning Supporter Deck OO-
Won with a 2-o in that round because it seems that the deck was doing all fine, having my [Royal Oppressions] coming to me whenever I feel like it! Though it took quite awhile for the 2 of us to finish the match because I just didn't have my monsters and my opponent didn't want to attack me so.... yea it took quite awhile lol.
Round 2 VS Gadget Emperor XX-
Quite the normal [Gadget] decks until a sudden appearance of a [Dark Emperor Gaius] totally shocked me lol. The deck started to lose the feel because the monsters wasn't appearing! So were the [Skill Drain]! I had 3 copies of it and none came out =(
Round 3 VS Lightlords OXX
Won the first round because my hand was good, controlling the field with [Royal Oppression] and [Skill Drain] with just a [Honest] in my hand to suppor the light undeads on my side of the field. The second round turned out that I didn't draw any monsters, so as with the third round, the card [Trap Eater] is very very strong!
Round 4 VS Black Feather XOX
Finally get to versus a [Black Feather] themed deck, well I thought that I was quite well prepared for it however, in the first round. I went second so I set down my [Solemn Judgement] and [Bottomless Traphole], I end my turn and you know, I got the [Delta Crow Reverse] impacted on me! Then it was back to his turn and he did the normal Black Feather Dark Dive kill combo. In the second round, I'm suspecting that he had quite a bad hand has he didn't have any cards to protect his lifepoints. So having 2 [Darkness Gear - Gokuen] and 1 [Dark Dragon Knight] pounding on his lifepoints earned me my victory for that round. In the third round, my monsters came but neither of my important magic or trap cards arrived.. So expected,
I lost it to my opponent. But it was a great and very very fast match. The only slow part was when I was side - decking my deck lol. Took awhile for me to decide on what might be the best to side into my deck for that match lol.
Round 5 VS ????
There wasn't a round 5, my opponent didn't turn up lol. So yea. I will consider this match as a lost instead of a victory gained because of a walk over lol.
Results: GOT OWNED VERY VERY BADLY!
Thoughts: So overall, I should be smarter next time! If you can't beat the [Black Feathers]... JOIN THEM! Plus there are quite alot of interesting decks that came out during the tournament. Losing this time helped me gained even more ideas on what to play in the next tournament. But as what Baha mentioned, perhaps [Arcanite Beat] will be the trendy deck thats running around till next June? Well we won't know till then! In anycase....

Newly Banned
None
- Now this is quite a nice one, never have all my 5 years of YGO life have I seen a banlist with no banned cards! Thou I would wish for a few cards to be banned, like [Monster Reborn] =X
Newly Restricted to 1
Chaos Sorcerer 「カオス・ソーサラー」
- Mwahahahahahahahahaha! Just when I said that I missed my old deck that was using this card only last friday, it got unbanned this week! lol! Time for that legendary deck to return!
Gladial Beast Bestarori 「剣闘獣ベストロウリィ」
- Okay, [Gladial Beasts] decks might be sort of harder to play now? But I wonder, why don't they restricted [Gladial Beast - Gyzarus] instead? Hmmm... Okay, I can also dis-assemble my [Gladial Beasts] deck already!
Goyou Guardian 「ゴヨウ・ガーディアン」
- This Macdonald Uncle is just too strong! Enabling you to take control of [Stardust Dragon] or even stronger monsters makes this card abit too godly for a level 6, with such a high attack power too!
Zombie Carrier 「ゾンビキャリア」
- Expected! This card boosts up the [Dark Syncro] and [Zombie Syncro] decks way too fast! Oh my god? My [Destiny Diamond Carrier] deck is also affected! Ah!!!
Dark Armed Dragon 「ダーク・アームド・ドラゴン」
- Hmmmmm.... Too gay.... With the return of [Chaos Sorcerer]... Restricted this card to 1 reduces the chances of a one turn kill for Dark Decks?
Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Boundary 「氷結界の龍 ブリューナク」
- Lucky I only had 1 copy of it always! Expected that this card would be restricted because of its ability to create several loops in several decks, etc [Zombie Syncro] deck.
Mezuki 「馬頭鬼」
- Same as the above! When combined with [Burial From A Different Dimension]....
Urgent Teleport 「緊急テレポート」
- Enables very very fast syncro summoning~! And also the advance summoning of high level monsters such as the [Emperors] and occasionally a [Obelisk The Tormentor]?
Cards of Safe Return 「生還の宝札」
- Zombie decks now have a lower draw rate! Wait! So is my [Junkyard Assault] deck!
Reinforcement of the Army 「増援」
- Noooooooooo~! Spoils my [E-HERO] decks... T_T... But there is still always 3 copies of [E-Emergency call]~! =D
Newly Restricted to 2
Goblin Zombie 「ゴブリンゾンビ」
- Lots of [Zombie Syncro] hate seen here!
D-HERO Diabolicguy 「Ｄ－ＨＥＲＯ ディアボリックガイ」
- Back to 2 I guess! 3 is just too gay! a level 6 combined with a level 2 tuner = instant level 8 syncro monster!
Wind Emperor Raiza 「風帝ライザー」
- o.O I guess this card being at 2 might be a threat again? Jams draw for 2 turns!
Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest 「森の番人グリーン・バブーン」
- Thou being back at 2 copies, you still can't summon both copies at one go! Why? Check here for rulings!
Destiny Draw 「デステニー・ドロー」
- Lesser draw power for [Dark Syncro] decks , or [D-HERO] decks. With [D-HERO Diabolicguy] restricted to 2 too, this card has lesser uses, unless you have more [D-HERO] monsters to discard!
Gold Sarcophagus 「封印の黄金櫃」
- Power of searching! But can you survive for 2 turns in the currrent meta? Sounds challenging! Don't you think?
Allure of Darkness 「闇の誘惑」
- Expected, since upperdeck entertainment has also restricted this card to 2 copies a deck, with [Destiny Draw] and this card coming together, the draw power of [Dark Syncro] is just too much, making it too fast!
Ultimate Offering 「血の代償」
- o.O, [Black Feather]/[Gadget] rush anyone?
Mind Crush 「マインドクラッシュ」
- Please don't name my [Stargazing Beast Garriz] please! Name more of [Honest]!
Newly Unrestricted/Released from Banlist
Manticore of Darkness 「暗黒のマンティコア」
- [Exodia] one turn kill! True, there is only one copy of [Cards of Safe Return], it is still possible but slow! (collects the pile from below DS's window =X)
Twin-Headed Behemoth 「ドル・ドラ」
- Even at 3 copies.... You can only use this effect one per duel.... (Ignores this pile below DS's window)
Phantom of Chaos 「ファントム・オブ・カオス」
- Lots of monsters to copy! [Chaos Sorcerer], [Dark Armed Dragon], [Judgement Dragon] and etc! (collects this pile too)
Book of Moon 「月の書」
- Not bad for a defensive deck! Combo with the below card! (collects one more copy as I only have 2! mwahahahahaha! =X)
Nobleman of Crossout 「抹殺の使徒」
- Combo with [Book of Moon] for effective results! Killing [Lightlord Hunter -Raikou] ain't a bad idea! (ignores the pile below DS's window as I have too many!]
Alright! The above are my thoughts for the latest banlist! Truthfully though, this isn't the banlist that I like the most, true that it is quite refreshing and some would be happy at the return of [Chaos Sorcerer], but still, in this current meta, special summoning monsters doesn't seem to be that easy anymore. So oh well~ Time to run away from below DS's house with all these cards! Mwahahahahahahaha! See you again desu!
