It's been a long while.

Hi guys, this is the gonna be the rarest post you'd ever get to see by me. LOL.

Yes I haven't posted anything in years. Yes years. So recently I'm back in the game, just in case not many of you have seen me playing Yugioh around and yes, my current decks are Blackfeather variants. I actually don't understand much of the game now as I literally disconnected from the game about 2 years ago. Currently, I'm trying to relearn much of what I've missed out so don't mind me being a noob all over again k!

And if you ask me, I'd prefer to play Whirlwind BF in comparison to the current trend of playing Graveyard BF. I'm not sure but, I find myself with a really small hand size after a few turns and I don't really like playing decks with small hand (yes I like playing drawhore decks like you know who from duelingdays) but I didn't have the cards to form the Librarian + Formula decks. Give me another few months and I might just eventually convert!

That aside, Colin & I has started playing Vanguard too! So, if you guys happen to play and see us, just say hi and we could enjoy a game together!

Till next time!

Tournament Report on Weekly Card Master Tournament 09/04/2011

Hi guys! Been awhile since I last updated on this old blog of mine. 7 Months have passed hasn't it? Well enough reminiscing and time to get the post running off!

Weekly Tournament at Card Master J cube
Deck Used: Quickdraw Quasar

First Match VS Ting Jun (Scrap)
XX-

First Match - I practically had a bad hand with all the tuners in it and nothing to use for synchro-ing any synchro monsters out for turning the tide =/

Second Match - Practically got owned by [Forbidden Lance]! My [Trishula - Dragon of the Ice Boundary] attack power was reduced by half, thus losing control of the field and scrubbed! T_T

Second Match VS Vishal (Black Feathers)
OXO

First Match - First Turn [Shooting Quasar Dragon] is awesome!!!!

Second Match - [D.D Crow] is also very awesome! Removing away [Grow-Up Bulb] in my graveyard from the game makes life very sad!

Third Match - Although I did a first turn [Shooting Quasar Dragon], He managed to remove it away from the field and also removing away my [Shooting Star Dragon] as well! Thou I won by trying to summon [Trishula - Dragon of the Ice Boundary]

Third Match VS Kkbz/Jeff (Debris Dandy)
OXO

First Match - Again I activated [Giant Trunade] and attempted to perform a first turn [Shooting Quasar Dragon] stunt again. Apparently it went through smoothly and so I went in for the kill!

Second Match - With all the [D.D Crow]s flying around, it was really hard for me to pull off any stunts. Although I was able to defend off the [D.D Crow]s using [Imperial Iron Wall], however that wasn't enough because when it was up to his turn. He [Cyclone]d the [Imperial Iron Wall] and summoned both [Dark Armed Dragon] and [Chaos Sorcerer] to go in for the kill!

Third Match - We both stalled for a few turns till I had all the materials I needed to do the Quasar Stunt. But with the stalling of although only a few turns, I had to gamble whether he had [D.D Crow]s in his hand. Apparently He didn't draw the [D.D Crow]s and I managed to summon [Shooting Quasar Dragon] to try to gain control. He had only 2 set cards left and I had also a [Card Gunner] and a [Black Feather - Zephyros of the Elite] on my field. He managed to remove my [Shooting Quasar Dragon] and when it's effect activates to summon out [Shooting Star Dragon], He negated it with [Divine Warning]! But I still had 2 monsters on my field to go for 2 more direct attacks. Jeff had no other cards left to defend himself so I was able to go in for the kill! Nice Match Jeff!

Fourth Match VS Milton (Gravekeepers)
OO-

First Match - I managed to survive a few turns of until I was able to draw upon [Giant Trunade] to allow me to get rid of Milton's set cards and his field magic [Necro Valley]! This then allowed me to pull off the Quasar Stunt and go in for the kill!

Second Match - [Lightlord Lyla] was the one trying to help me to remove all of his [Necro Valley]s! Though she always has trouble facing off against [Bottomless Traphole] Again this made Milton use up some resources. And when I finally drew upon [Giant Trunade] again, I summoned out [Shooting Quasar Dragon] to again go in for the kill!

Results for the day: 3 wins 1 lost but unable to head up to top 8!!!! = Scrub =/

Well at least most of the results of the day was winning instead of losing so at least that's some consolation for me =P Below here is the decklist for the deck I was using. Its a little different in the build from Bahamut84 of Dueling Days but the idea originated from him.

Deck Name: Quickdraw Quasar
Monsters: 24

3x Junk Synchron
3x Doppel Warrior
2x Quickdraw Synchron
2x Magic Striker
2x Lightlord Hunter - Raikou
2x Lightlord Magician - Lyla
1x Effect Veiler
1x Grow-Up Bulb
1x Spore
1x Level Stealer
1x Dandelion
1x Sangan
1x Card Gunner
1x Black Feather - Zephyros of the Elite
1x Chaos Sorcerer
1x Envoy of Hades - Gorz

Magic: 13

2x Tuning
2x Pot of Avarice
1x Monster Reborn
1x One for One
1x Reinforcement of the Light
1x Reinforcement of the Army
1x Foolish Burial
1x Allure of Darkness
1x Giant Trunade
1x Dark Hole
1x Cyclone

Traps: 3

2x Bottomless Traphole
1x Torrential Tribute

Extra Deck: 15

1x Shooting Quasar Dragon
1x Shooting Star Dragon
1x Trishula - Dragon of the Ice Boundary
1x Stardust Dragon
1x Scrap Dragon
1x Junk Destroyer
1x Blackrose Dragon
1x Junk Berserker
1x Brionac - Dragon of the Ice Boundary
1x Drill Warrior
2x Tech Genus - Hyper Librarian
1x Arms Aid
2x Formula Synchron

This deck the same as the [Junk Doppel] deck, being able to perform many synchro summons on a turn and also allowing you to have a hand advantage over your opponent if performed successfully. It goes like this.....

Step 1: Summon Junk Synchron and attempt to revive Grow-Up Bulb from your graveyard if you have already one inside

Step 2: Special Summon from your hand Doppel Warrior after reviving Grow-Up Bulb

Step 3: Synchro Junk Synchron and Doppel Warrior for Tech Genus - Hyper Librarian and synchro Grow-Up Bulb with one of the doppel tokens for Formula Synchron

Step 4: Assumoing you have Magic Striker in your hand, remove away from game on magic card in your graveyard and special summon magic striker from your hand. Synchro both Formula Synchron and Magic Striker for another Tech Genus - Hyper Librarian

Step 5: Revive Grow-Up Bulb again from your graveyard by using it's own effect(provided that you haven't already used its own effect). And synchro the last doppel token along with it for another Formula Synchron

Step 6: Synchro 2x Tech Genus - Hyper Librarian and 1x Formula Synchron for Shooting Quasar Dragon! By the time you have this done. You should have quite alot of cards in your hand. It will then be your choice on how you want to continue the turn from then depending on what you have drawn.

For the original variation of the decklist. Please do visit Dueling Days for more information! Till then to my next post... Cya all! =D

Both bloggers gone for awhile due to National Service

Yes as what the above titles suggests, the 2 bloggers of Duel Society. Naming me and Kenneth, will not be around for quite a long time because......

1) Kenneth is currently serving his time in National Service.


2) Me, Colin is going to start serving my turn in National Service on the 16th of September! Which makes today one of the last three days that I still have my freedom!

So actually I'm going to express some of my thoughts today. Not really on the game but ya.

I'll just summarise it perhaps in a short paragraph.

I'm actually regretting why haven't I posted more during my free time. Now that I'm heading to serve my time in National Service as a army man. I would most probably deplete my time totally to it. Not having much time to update this blog anymore. OR if fortunately, updates will still come up, but only on rare occasions. I really appreciate all the effort that my readers take to visit my blog every time. Only to find disappointment that there isn't much updates being brought up by me. I sincerely apologise upon this. Hopefully after my National Service, I will be more responsible and blog more about dueling in the world of YGO =D (Hopefully!)

Again, thanks to all my readers! This blog is not closing down. Duel Society will still remain open here for readers to refer back to previous posts. And who knows? Perhaps one fine day, a rare update might just appear for you guys to read up on.

Till then to my update that will come quite awhile later.

Ciaossu! And Sincerely appreciating all Duel Society readers and supporters!

Colin A.K.A Dogchain/Goulian signing off~!

Thoughts on Banlist (09/2010)

Right! Been awhile since my last update on the World championships 2010 singapore qualifiers during June. So this coming post will be about the latest changes to the banlist that will be taking effect from the start of this coming September 2010. Below will be my thoughts for it. Let it roll!

Newly Banned

Rescue Cat 『レスキューキャット』
- No more abusing it on pair with [Summon Priest]! No more calling on two copies of [X-Saber Airbellum] to go for double directo attack! Resulting in 2 hand card loss for your opponents! No more quick synchro summoning of [Arcanite Magician] resulting in most of the time, a 2 cards loss on your opponent's side of the field almost instantly. Poor cat =( *pats*

Substitoad 『イレカエル』
- With this "toad" banned from the game for at least 6 months before it might be released into the light again. This probably will just stop the FTK or OTK of different kinds of frog variation decks. I haven't had much time to experience an all out OTK or FTK by a frog deck. So I hadn't had much idea on what to say for this toad. But by all the rumors and also a frog deck winning this year's world championships 2010. It would seem that this card has caused a very big impact in the game. Banning this card will stop the repeatable cycle of being to summon out different frogs for synchro summoning or for feeding it to [Mass Driver] for FTK purposes.

Brain Control 『洗脳－ブレインコントロール』
- I'm gonna cry, its my favourite card that wins games! But surely enough, no easy grabbing of your opponent's monsters in hope of gaining a swift victory! Scenarios like.....

1) Grab your opponents low level monster, use it for a synchro summon and then ponch ponch!

2) Grab your opponent's monster with high attack and aim for a directo attack. Most probably killing him if without any defenses.

3) Grab your opponent's monster! Use the "Hit and Release" technique!

Heavy Storm 『大嵐』

- Following Bahamut84 of dueling days on this: Stupid control decks can now set 5 M/T without fear of [Heavy Storm]! How to touch myself! Though ya there is still [Giant Trunade] around! And probably good because there is now one lesser card for [Starlight Road] to negate! *cough cough*

Newly Restricted to 1

Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Boundary 『氷結界の龍 トリシューラ』
- Summoning one copy of it is already capable of giving your opponent quite a big disadvantage! Imagine being able to summon 3 copies till your opponent gets pretty screwed up by its powerful effect of removing 3 cards away from the game. Restricting this card to a single copy is a pretty good idea though! (I only have one copy thats why! =D)

Monster Reborn 『死者蘇生』
- Yes Konami has seen the light! Favourite card of all time! Guess in this new banlist, as what Bahamut84 of dueling days said. This will be the new card that win games! Witness the prowress of reviving your opponent's [Goyou Guardian] then using it to snatch another of your opponent's superior monster to be at your disposal! This is getting me pretty much excited!

Dark Hole 『ブラック・ホール』
- Woo! It doesn't matter to me whether [Heavy Storm] is banned! Usually I would rather the monsters get destroyed so that I can still declare attacks! Regardless of my opponent's magic and trap cards. That is actually how reckless I am while playing =X. Oh come on! But even so, more [Starlight Road] love anyone? Or is anyone willing to find their [White Hole]s to counter-attack [Dark Hole]? =P

Black Whirlwind 『黒い旋風』
- Slows down the theme monsters [Black Feathers], however they are still going strong in this metagame with their support cards and all. Usually some [Black Feather] themed decks will win even without the support of [Black Whirlwind]. Lets just see how much will it affect them in this banlist shall we?

Infernity Gun 『インフェルニティガン』
- With this card restricted to a single copy per deck, this lowers the possibility of allowing [Infernity] decks to be able to OTK their opponents in an instant. However still with the help of [Monster Reborn], things are still possible! So by limiting this card... Ok, at least it lowers the violence level of the deck.

Royal Oppression 『王宮の弾圧』
- Being at one copy? Lesser worries of a special summon seal!

Newly Restricted to 2

Chaos Sorcerer 『カオス・ソーサラー』
- Being at 2 copies brings back more hope and violence for Twilight decks. Can see this card being abused in the near future. Lets just see how it'll fare then!

Snipe Hunter 『スナイプストーカー』
- More [Fabled/Demon Roar God] love? Easier filling your graveyard of light and dark monsters to feed to [Chaos Sorcerer]. Its un-confirmed destruction effect makes it able to "most probably" snipe the all-famous [Stardust Dragon]

Mystical Space Typhoon 『サイクロン』
- I always preferred this card than [Dust Tornado]. Reason being that it is a quick-play magic card. Able to activate at almost anytime! Now with two copies of [Mystical Space Typhoon], who needs so many [Wild Tornado] or [Twister]? Just destroy all the [Royal Oppression]s, [Black Whirlwind]s, [Royal Decree]s and [Infernity Gun]s away with [Mystical Space Typhoon]!


Magic Cylinder 『魔法の筒』
- Orz okays, its really not that safe to try to directo attack your opponents even with [Dimension Prison] and [Mirror Force] out of the way. Although this card does not remove your monsters' prescence. It can still kill you if your superior monsters fall into this trap. Being at 2 copies now means it will be able to deal even bigger damage to you or your opponent! More [Mental Sphere Demon] in your extra decks anyone?

Ojama Trio 『おジャマトリオ』
- Easy, activate and summon the tokens to your opponent's side of the field. [Dark Hole] for easy 900 damage to your opponent's lifepoints! =D


Newly Unrestricted/Released from Banlist

Black Rose Dragon 『ブラック・ローズ・ドラゴン』
- Woo! More [Starlight Road] love people! Junk and Debris decks will surely love the comeback of this card at 3 copies. Pair it up with [Monster Reborn] for better results =D

Cyber Dragon 『サイバー・ドラゴン』
- Who now really needs [Vice Dragon] when [Cyber Dragon] is back at 3? Faster synchro summoning, big beatstick, faster advance summoning too. Combo with [Super Fusion] and [E-HERO Prisma] for better results? =P

Goblin Zombie 『ゴブリンゾンビ』
- Enables more searching of your zombie type monsters! Doesn't really happen to have much impact on this metagame yet from my opinion.

Treeborn Frog 『黄泉ガエル』
- Yes yes, taking one out with [D.D Crow] isn't enough anymore! More [Crack of the Different Dimension] people!

United We Stand 『団結の力』
- Nowdays we like to flood our field with [Dandelion Tokens]! So with so many in flooding, how about giving them some love to deal some damage to our opponents? Sounds good? =D

Royal Decree 『王宮のお触れ』
- So much trap card hatred! But with 2 copies of [Mystical Space Typhoon] around. It shouldn't be that much of a problem.


Overall Review: From this new format, all we can see are more and more mass destruction that will probably rain on every match that you will be playing coming this september? This will also probably just increase the sales of [Starlight Road]! Do remember that [Starlight Road] is being reprinted soon in the latest [Fudou Yusei Duelist Pack 3]! So Konami will mostly want more love for this card since it will be made available for usage for the grand tournaments in the asia countries excluding Japan in the near future. So guys... Get more [Starlight Road]! =D
