Deck Review: Wrath Of Neos MK IV

Yo people! Goulian here since the last update like for so long! >.< .... Very sorry guys as we had our school lives interfering with our dueling lives too! And oh ya! Today's post will be about my signature deck that had been upgraded till the [MK IV] version! Due to help from alot of my great friends around me! This version can be said the best version among the five versions I have. So take a look! Decklist is right below!

Decksize: 40

Monsters: 17

3x E-HERO Neos
2x E-HERO Another Neos
1x E-HERO Airman
3x E-HERO Prismer
1x E-HERO Voltech
2x Freed The Brave Wanderer
3x Honest
2x Lightlord Hunter - Raikou

Magic: 16

3x Wrath Of Neos
3x O - Oversoul
2x E - Emergency Call

3x Hero Blast

1x Holy Barrier - Mirror Force

Extra Deck: 4

3x Rainbow Neos
1x E-HERO Dark Brightman

Well here goes! This deck basically makes full use of [E-HERO Prismer] effect on being able to grab hold the names of the fusion material monsters that it sends to the graveyard! And of course, what do we do with the name of the fusion material monster that [E-HERO Prismer] has got hold of? We will also be using it to our full advantage! As in my previous [Shining Dragoon] decklist. I had [E-HERO Prismer] copy the name of [Blue Eyes White Dragon] in order for me to activate the magic card [Burst Stream Of Destruction]. Those that tried out the deck with me should know how powerful when a magic card like that destroys the opponent's field totally!

But in this deck, the name that [E-HERO Prismer] is going to copy is not [Blue Eyes White Dragon] but as what the deck name sounds like... The name that [E-HERO Prismer] is going to copy will be [E-HERO Neos]. Why? Well just for the sake of activating [E-HERO Neos] strongest magic card! [Wrath Of Neos] of course! It packs a total field destruction effect, and easy to use with [E-HERO Prismer] helping you.

But other than being able to use [Wrath Of Neos] easily, this deck is also able to revive [E-HERO Neos] even faster because of [E-HERO Prismer] effect of sending it to the graveyard. And that is what the 3 copies of [O - Oversoul] is there for! Being able to revive your [E-HERO Neos] from the graveyard to smack your opponent in the face for 2500 damage right after the aftermath of [Wrath Of Neos] effect!

And not to say even without the help of [O - Oversoul] of reviving your [E-HERO Neos] and [E-HERO Another Neos] in the graveyard. There is another card that works well with the both of them! As well as it is very compatible with [E-HERO Prismer] effect. [Hero Blast] will be that trap card's name! Being able to retrieve an Normal [E-HERO] monster in your graveyard to destroy a face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field whose attack is equal or lower than the card you've retrieved is no small joke! Though the highest attack monster that you can possibly destroy will be at the max of 2500 attack points... =(.. (Sometimes I wonder why couldn't Konami make [E-HERO Neos] a 3000 attack monster?! Ignore this as I'm only joking!)

And what do you do when you have a [E-HERO Neos] stuck in your hand? A good way would be to actually use it for the card [Commoner's Charity] as what this deck lacks sometimes is draw power! Though the draw speed is slow, but at least its also quite compatible with a special [E-HERO] inside this deck too! [E-HERO Voltech] totally revives the removed away from game [E-HERO Neos] that was being used by [Commoner's Charity]! Another card to be combo with [E-HERO Voltech] would be [Freed The Brave Wanderer]... This card can be quite a lifesaver at times when you have monsters such as [Dark Armed Dragon] that your [Hero Blast] cannot kill!(That is why I said that Konami should make [E-HERO Neos] a 3000 attack monster! Joking!)

What if sometimes you do have the power to search for [E-HERO Prismer] to fill your grave with [E-HERO Neos]? And you are also stuck in a almost unable-to-turn-the-tables situation? This card might actually save your life and also help fill the grave for you! [Lightlord Hunter - Raikou] is able to destroy any card on the field and then overturn the top 3 cards of your deck to the graveyard.. Though some luck is greatly needed here to overturn monsters like [E-HERO Neos] , [E-HERO Another Neos] or just any Light Attribute monsters needed for [Freed The Brave Wanderer] to use his effect!

And since every single monster in this deck belongs to the attribute of Light.. Why not ask for the help of [Honest]? This card acts as a defensive as well as an offensive card for this deck! Needless to say what wonders it can do right? Well in my [Wrath Of Neos MK V] , the deck had the combo of [E-HERO Neos] + [Assault Armor] + [Honest] = oh my god your opponent is almost dead or already dead combo! Credits goes to Baha for showing me the video about Dian Zhang! That inspired me to search for my third copy of [Assault Armor]!

This deck is quite good on the defense as well as on the offensive. But cards like [D.D Crow] , [Kycoo The Ghost Destroyer] or even [Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo] can destroy this deck inside out! As this deck mostly relies on the cards in the graveyard and special summonings in order to perform its stunts! Well sorry for the long review about this deck! Well it IS my signature deck....*cough cough*.... Anyways! Its been a long while since I did a review that is this long! Hope you guys didn't get too tired in reading it.. =(... And I hope that the standard didn't drop =X? LOL! Well anyway to my next review! Goulian signing off!

Thoughts on M'sian Championships

Hey all! This is Goulian here! The champion from M'sian was a duelist using a [Emperor] deck as from what I heard from Yan Shen. Thanks for the info! Though I do not have the decklist =(...
Anyway from the trip to M'sia, we can see alot of duelists having alot of different ideas! Of course on alot of their different decks!

- Earth Syncro Deck:

Uses [Gigantes] to special summon itself and also to use [Jutte Knight] for syncro! Quite a nice idea!

- Dark Calling Special Version:

Now this was used by Yan Shen, and another duelist which I forgot the name >.<... Both of theirs was extremely fast! I got OTKed quite quickly by them too!

Well these are the decks that are worth looking and building too! The cards they had inside were sorta fresh ideas to me lol... And I also found out that the most feared Syncro Monster in M'sia is.... [Red Daemon Dragon]! Because they have like alot of face down defense position monsters de ar... Well okay! Till next time! Goulian signing off! And oops... New card review will be coming up!

Thoughts on World Championship 08

Hi! Its Kenneth here finally doing a report on today's World Championship that took place at Kallang Leisure Park.

Colin - 48th
Me - 43rd

Yes omg we've became noobs!

I probably won't talk about my matches since all of them are practically crappy.
Its either a Dark Armed variant or Lightlord. Nothing else. I only won 3 and lost 2 matches in the swiss rounds and since everyone I play with has imbalanced luck (ppl summoning afew Dark Armed Dragons/Judgement Dragoon in a turn)I am quite speechless about my lost. lol.

A pic of the top 8 winners:
Photobucket

Don't ask me who are all of them, I can only recognise Sebestian, Fish, Baha, Wan Xin & Eu Yong Siang. Ok thats actually quite alot... and one guy seems to be missing from the picture.

I only know Baha was 1st and Fish was 2nd.

Grats to Bahamut84 from Dueling Days for winning this year's 2008 World Championship tournament.

To those who didn't do well (esp me and Colin), lets just try harder next time!

Card Review: Junk Synchron

It's been a real while since I've done my card review so I guess it's about time I do one. (I think all my card reviews starts with this sentence)

Today lets talk about Fuudou Yuusei's most godlike topdecked card.

Photobucket
YSD3-JP011
ジャンク・シンクロン
Junk Synchron
Dark/Lv 3/Warrior/Tuner
Atk: 1300/Def: 500
Effect: When this card is successfully Normal Summoned, Special Summon a Level 2 or lower Monster in your Graveyard in face-up Defense Position to your field. Effects of the Special Summoned monster by this effect are negated.

This card is really quite a good card on itself.
Searchable by
- Reinforcements of an Army
- Sangan
- Mystic Tomato

Its effect to special summon monster only works when its normal summoned though.
The drawback for such an effect is to have the summoned monster's effect negated, so no diskguy abuse for those who always loves to draw cards.
There always [Card of Safe Return] though.
Normal summoning this card itself would be summoning out a LV5 Synchro already, provided you already have a lv2 monster in the grave and it doesn't get dd crowed away.

Lv5 Synchro
- Junk Warrior (Only Junk Synchron can summon this)
- A.O.J Catastor

Alternatively, u can always use this card to synchro with other non tuner monsters to summon even better or bigger synchro monsters to your liking or based on your field situation.

So, to play this card or not really is up to you. Unless its for the dark or warrior attribute or for its effect, otherwise if you're looking for it just cause its a 3 star tuner monster, I'd rather you have a look at Emergency Teleport and Pyscho Commander.

Till next time!

Card Review : Emergency Teleport

Hey all! As promised, its another card review today! As the 101th post for Duel Society! Though the card being reviewed today is quite a late news already ar? lol =X Oh well in order not to keep you guys in suspense, the card being reviewed today is [Emergency Teleport] from the most "recent" booster pack [The Duelist Genesis] !

Photobucket

TDGS-JP053
[緊急テレポート]
[Emergency Teleport]
Quick-Play Magic
Special Summon a level 3 or lower psychic type monster from your hand or deck. The monster summoned by this way is removed away from the game at the end phase of the turn.

Well this card is mainly used in the [Dark Syncro Shokan!] decks in Singapore as well as in Japan! We all know the extent of the gayness of this card do we? So lets see what is the powers of this card that made it so powerful!

The ability to Special Summon out a level 3 Psychic-Type monster from your hand or from your deck is a very good source of monster sacrifices for monsters like [Wicked Emperor Gaius] or [Wind Emperor Raiza]! Although there is a drawback of it being only able to Special Summon level 3 and below Psychic-Type monsters only... But to top it all off.. Its a Quick-Play magic card! Which means that it can also be used during your opponent's turn if you had set if face-down in order to activate in your opponent's turn to do some freaky stunts! Examples will be Special Summoning Psychic-Type monsters like [Clevonce] that is able to block quite an amount of enemy attacks! (Of course some life points is at stake here! Ugh!)

And since it is able to Special Summon out monsters like [Clevonce] which is another important point for this card! 3 of the Psychic-Type monsters in there which are level 3 and below are also tuners! Monsters like as said before a level 2 tuner [Clevonce] , level 1 tuner [Mental Master] and level 3 tuner [Psycho Commander]. Which in return you are able to do Syncro Summoning at very high speeds! Depending on the situations of course =D.... But the most appreciated and most usable Psychic-Type tuner will be [Clevonce]! Why? I'm sure you guys know why! For those that don't, I'll do another review on it soon! =)! However you can check http://duelingdays.blogspot.com/ for their review on [Emergency Teleport] and [Clevonce]! They'll tell you why!

And of course there are cards that totally counter [Emergency Teleport]! Cards like... [Royal Oppression] , [Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo] or just to make it simple.. Cards that totally cripples Special Summonings! And just one [Magic Seal] will just kill the [Emergency Teleport] too! T_T... But ya these are just some of the cards that can render your [Emergency Teleport] useless! So do watch out for them!

Okay short review =D.. Because gay cards like this actually do not need so much explanation! Hope that it is good enough this time though! (duelist author job at stake here!) Well will do another review soon! Stay Tuned to us! Till next time.. Goulian Signing off!
