Edited : Asian Championship 2009 (Singapore Qualifiers)
Well today was a battle of 5 rounds of swiss! And the deck that I was using for the day was the [Light Undead Meta Beat] lol, it should be quite familiar to all you readers out there, since it was one of the few top japanese decks before the march banlist =X. Well since this tournament did not allow [Mezuki], guess quite alot of changes had to be made. But no excuse though, I still did badly for this tournament LOL! Well below is my quite embarassing score board =(
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....

Thoughts on Banlist (03/2009)
Alright people! Sorry for the late update, well I supposed that many of you have seen the latest banlist changes at shriek or duelingdays! If not below here is the list and the thoughts about the latest banlist changes =)
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!

Alright guys~! Its has really been awhile since my last review! Well projects are still strangling my neck tightly so I don't really have much time these days to update! Well enough excuses! Lets get the review going! Today's review will be on a card given by the [Yu-Gi-Oh! Tagforce 3] game! The card is [Stargazing Beast Garriz]!
GX06-JP001
[星見獣ガリス]
[Stargazing Beast Garriz]
Attribute: Earth, Type: Beast
Effect Monster, 3 Stars, Atk 800/Def 800
Activate by revealing this card in your hand to your opponent. Send the top card of your deck to the graveyard. If it is a monster, inflict damage equal to 200 X the level of the monster to your opponent's lifepoints and then special summon this card from your hand. If it is not a monster, destroy this card.
Here is the star for today! Whats good and not good about this card? Lets get on with it!
Well "Garriz" here doesn't have a high attack strength nor a high defense strength too. However its effects are quite versatile in alot of decks these days. But it also depends alot on the controller's luck!
Decks such as the [Destiny Diamond Carrier] can surely carry a great ally such as [Stargazing Beast Garriz]. It makes the deck not a must to use [Zombie Carrier]'s effect to place a magic at the top of deck always. You can always put a monster such as [D-HERO Diabolicguy] on the top of your deck when you do not have [Destiny Draw] or [Dark Grepher] to discard him. And then activate [Stargazing Beast Garriz]'s effect to send your [D-HERO Diabolicguy] that is located at the top of your deck to the graveyard! Not to mention dealing a total amount of 1200 damage to your opponent at the same time! (Sounds alot like [Dark Dive Bomber] huh? Obviously it is much better =X)
However there a few ways to counter this card's effect! For example, when a player activates [Stargazing Beast Garriz]'s effect to reveal itself as a cost. You can always chain a [Mind Crush] to get rid of "Garriz"!Or like the always famous [Royal Oppression] will do the job indefinitely. [Macro Cosmos] will also render [Stargazing Beast Garriz] useless because you have to send the top card of your deck to the GRAVEYARD to be able to special summon "Garriz" onto the field. If [Macro Cosmos] was already on the field, you would not be able to activate [Stargazing Beast Garriz]'s effect. Oh yeah! Not to mention that [Dimension Fissure] will also do the same thing, rendering [Stargazing Beast Garriz] useless. So... Look out for these cards!
A few nicely done combos with this deck can also be... Using "Garriz's" effect to send a [Lightlord Beast -Wulf] from the top of your deck to the graveyard, inflicting 800 damage and then special summoning both "Wulf" and "Garriz" onto your field. Quite a nice trick for you to release those two for a advance summon of a extremely strong monster such as [Obelisk The Tormentor], [Light And Darkness Dragon] , [Angel Christia] ("Vahalla" is just enough!) and so much more!
Well thats all for the review of this card! Not much but there are more installed in a newly made deck that I've created some time ago! It of course includes [Stargazing Beast Garriz]! And I will be updating the deck next week then! Till then... Tune in to us! See you again desu!
Edited: Thanks to DS for pointing out the mistake! [Stargazing Beast Garriz]'s special summoning cannot be negated by [Royal Oppression], reason being that it is a un-confirmed special summon.
