Double Card Review! [Goyou Guardian] and [Dragon Of The Ice Boundary - Brionac]

Hey all! Its my turn to update a card review on the latest Syncro type monsters! They are a new force to be reckoned with! With fast summoning speed and amazing effects.. These new Syncro monsters can prove to be a new threat in our metagame! The 2 new Syncro monsters that I will be reviewing about are from the latest [The Duelist Genesis] and the newest [Duel Terminal] cards! They are the [Goyou Guardian] and [Dragon Of The Ice Boundary - Brionac]!

First up is the [Goyou Guardian] Syncro monster!



TDGS-JP042
[ゴヨウ・ガーディアン]
[Goyou Guardian]
Attribute: Earth , Type: Warrior
Effect Monster , Syncro , 6 stars
Atk 2800 / Def 2000
1 Tuner + 1 or more Non-Tuner monster
When this card destroys your opponent's monster as a result of battle , you can Special Summon that monster onto your side of the field in face-up Defence Position.

This card is obviously GAY. Why is it GAY? We shall see why it is GAY!

- Level 6 Syncro monster! Easy to summon out! GAY!

- 2800 attack strength and 2000 defence strength for just a level 6 monster! GAY!

- Use this to rape your opponent's [D-HERO Diskguy] ! And then drag it onto your side of the field! Enabling you to draw 2 cards from your deck since it was revived onto your side to the field from the graveyard! GAY!

- Use it to destroy monsters such as [Stardust Dragon] which you will be able to Release it to block certain Destruction Effects! GAY!

- Kill more monsters like [Dark Creator] ! Revive it to your side of the field to use its revival effects! GAY!

This is an extremely short review for this GAY card , because its effect is well self-explained! And ITS JUST SO GAY! (forced to use the GAY words because Kenneth thinks that it is too GAY! )

Okay onto the next review!



DT01-JP031
[氷結界の竜　ブリューナク]
[Dragon Of The Ice Boundary - Brionac]
Attribute: Water , Type: Sea-Dragon
Effect Monster , Syncro , 6 stars
Atk 2300 / Def 1400
1 Tuner + 1 or more Non-Tuner monsters
Discard any number of cards from your hand. Which after that, return the same amount of cards on either field back to the owner's hand equal to the amount of cards that you discarded.

Now onto a serious card review. This card is from the newest [Duel Terminal] thats in Japan for now though lol. Ok being a level 6 monster with an attack strength of 2300 and a defense strength of 1400 makes this card a strong fighter but quite a weak defender! But most of the time that when this card arrives onto the field. You'd probably be able to fend off any strong monsters for your [Dragon Of The Ice Boundary - Brionac] to make a direct attack! Why is that so? Lets take a look onto its effect!

"Discard any number of cards from your hand. Which after that, return the same amount of cards on either field back to the owner's hand equal to the amount of cards that you discarded"

Quite an amazing effect I will say, being able to discard any amount of cards to bounce back on the field the equal amount of cards that was discarded from your hand! And the best of all is that, It ain't a once per turn effect! Which means that you are able to use it as many times as you like a turn! And what kind of cards are worth bouncing back on the field? Lets take a look shall we?

[Premature Burial] - Bounce it to revive as many monsters as you like to swarm your field! Reviving [D-HERO Diskguy] sounds like its going to be a big abuse!

Opponent's strong monsters! Makes sure that your opponent will have to make extra effort to summon them out again!

Or simply just do the [Rescue Cat] + [Premature Burial] combo thats on Dueling Days, Baha did that combo quite nicely and swiftly! Killing quickly too!

Being a level 6 monster allows it to be summoned out quite easily using the above combo! Repeat till your opponent falls dead to your field full of Syncro Monsters!

Well thats the end of the review for this time, Sorry that it wasn't that fantastic guys! Actually they are too broken to be further reviewed lol, we all know what kind of brokeness they do right? I promise that I will do better next time! Till then to our next update! Goulian Signing off!

P.S. Thanks to Baha of http://duelingdays.blogspot.com/ for the High Quality Pic of [Dragon Of The Ice Boundary - Brionac] !

Card Review: Stardust Dragon

Hi all its been awhile since I've actually posted something on this blog due to my laziness and being "busy" on Cabal and since Colin has been bugging me for this, might as well take some precious time off to write this review for Stardust Dragon.



TDGS-JP040
[スターダスト・ドラゴン]
[Stardust Dragon]
Attribute: Wind
Type: Dragon
Synchro/Effect Monster
Level: 8 stars
Atk 2500/Def 2000
Effect: 1 Tuner Monster + 1 or more Non-Tuner Monster(s)
When an effect of a Magic, Trap or Effect Monster that includes [Destroy the cards on the field] is activated, you can release this card to Negate and Destroy the card. During the End Phase that this effect was activated. And this card is in the graveyard due to being released for the activation of this effect. Special Summon this card back to your field.

Ok I'm sure we all know of this lastest card from the lastest Duelist Genesis pack and its one of the newest types of monsters in the game: Synchro. So why is everyone wanting this card? Thats because
- it doesn't need specific tuner monster to summon
- it can easily prevent destruction cards like Mirror Force & Tidal Wave
- 2500 attack can kill many things like Emperor monsters
- it looks cool enough to pawn your opponent

Baha from Dueling Days & I have been testing this card out in our decks and it sure is able to be summoned pretty quickly in a synchro based deck. In fact, everyone could probably get one for their Extra Deck as you'd never know if you get your opponent's Tuner Monster through Brainwash or something. And synchro really works fast with Psychic monsters as it has the gayest summoning card called [Urgent Teleport]. However, it can easily die to Gaius, Raiza, Ground Mole and even Death Calibur Knight(my Stardust recently died to it) or anything you can think of that uses non destruction effect to remove monsters on the field.

Overall playing this card is definitely for situational based. Of course, sometimes other Synchro monsters are worth summoning than this, but being able to stop a mass field destruction card and returning to your field(provided ur Stardust doesn't get DD Crowed or Propecy or Soul Released away) is gay. I'd still give this card a 8/10 rating cuz its my fav card of the set. =x

Card Review : Divine Fowl King Alector

Hey guys! As requested by the readers out there, I'm going to do a card review about the latest promo card released in the [Yu-Gi-Oh! R Volune 5 ] comic book! The card reviewed today is.... [Divine Fowl King Alector]! So sit back and relax while reading!




YR05-JP001
[神禽王アレクトール]
[Divine Fowl King Alector]
Attribute: Wind , Type: Winged Beast
Effect Monster , 6 stars , Atk 2400/Def 2000
If your opponent controls 2 or more face-up monsters with the same Attribute, you can Special Summon this card from your Hand. Once per turn select 1 face-up card on the field. Negate the effect(s) of the selected card during this turn. Only 1 [Divine Fowl King Alector] can be face-up on the field at the same time.


On watching the stats about this card. It has a decent 2400 attack strength for a level 6 monster. And also a much more superior defense of 2000 rather than the 1000 defense of the [Emperor] monsters. And by being a level 6 monster, it will be a cinch to normal summon this monster with 1 monster sacrifice! Hmmm, guessed that I should change my way about [Normal Summon] or [Sacrifice]... Okay! This card can be Advanced Summoned quite easily by Releasing cards like [Treeborn Frog] or [Dandelion].

For this card being a Wind attribute as well as a Winged Beast type allows a couple of combos to perform with it. The Wind attribute part allows this card to be a ingredient to special summon monsters like [Dark Simorgh]. While the Winged Beast type allows this card to be released for the condition to use [God Bird Attack] to destroy 2 cards on the field in the case of an "Emergency" LOL!

Well about the effects for this card. The first effect about able to Special summon this card from your hand when your opponent controls 2 or more monsters with the same attribute makes it easy for this condition to be fufilled! When your opponent activates cards like [Flames Of Demise] , [Scapegoat] , [Stray Lambs] or even [Inferno Reckless Summon] that will be able to swarm their own field with monsters of the same attribute. To be able to fufill the condition of special summoning your own [Divine Fowl King Alector] !

As for the second part of the effect for this card. Enabling this card to have the ability to negate a face-up card's effect on the field can be quite powerful at some situations. Even if the situations is about targetting your own cards on your own side of the field. Situations simliar like about targetting your own cards that can benefit you a whole lot will be like.... Targetting your own monsters like [God Beast King - Barbaros] which allows it to resume its enormous attack strength of 3000 points! Or another situation can be that you will be able to target [Beast God Machine King Barbaros UR] to allow it to actually inflict battle damage to your opponent's life points! (Do note that some of these ideas are actually suggested to me by some people that I know. I've compiled some of these information in this review =D)

Continuing on the second effect about [Divine Fowl King Alector] , using it to target cards that disallows you from using of your monsters to declare an attack against your opponent! Target cards like [Gravity Bind] , [Wall Of Revealing Light] , [Swords Of Revealing Light] , [Messenger Of Peace] or even allowing your monsters to revert back to their original positions from cards like [Level Limit - B] or [Level Limit - A]! Or even releasing yourself from lock effects like [Jinzo] or [Spell Canceller] , [Royal Decree] and so on so forth. Allowing you to continue your stunts with these card locking effects negated!

And for the third effect of this card. There can only be one [Divine Fowl King Alector] on the field at all times. This means that the early bird catches the worm! Whoever summons out [Divine Fowl King Alector] first will most probably get the upperhand earlier!

Well thats all for today people! Hope that this review is good enough! And also thanks to those people that provided me with ideas to complete this review! Okay then till next time to our next update! Goulian Signing Off~!

Thoughts On The Asian Championships 2008!

Hey all! Its been awhile again since we last updated! Well today was a day of fun and excitement! The Asian Championships held in Singapore were well planned and very organised. Much better than I had expected. Well before the tournaments were fired off... There was a side event about letting our local players pit their skills against the 4 foreign players from Taiwan , Korea , Malaysia and Hong Kong. Below are some pictures! Don't blame me if my camera skills are bad! =X




Taiwan Representative



Korea Representative



Malaysia Representative



Hong Kong Representative


Well lets hope that they had a great time in Singapore playing with our local players! There was really a very long queue today! All waiting to challenge the 4 representatives! LOL! Hope our local players also have their share of the excitement challenging them!

Well as for myself.. I got into the top 8 players for SG but did not get a chance to get into the top 4 placings. Only the top 4 placings will be able to play with the foreign players for the title of Asian Champion!
After all the fighting. It would seem that all 4 of our representatives managed to win their foreign opponents after a big struggle! Congratulations to them! And this year's Asian Champion is also from Singapore! Below are the pics for the prize giving session


Our Red Boy for today! Grats Sui Kai on getting 4th place in SG!


Grats Hong li on getting 3rd Place in SG! Smile man!

Grats Shi Fu for being 1st in SG!!!!!! Good For You!

Now for the Asian Championships..... You will see that its like the order is in reverse or something.. LOL!
