Episode 101 + Duelist Revolution Love!

Episode 101 was nice..even though i had to watch it from my phone on a bus to work...

Breo gets pwned by Junk Destroyer...an scene which i can happily accept!

Jean(John?) looks....insane?

Overall , this is a good episode with some decent amount of dueling.

==========================================================

Now...about the Surging Knight..

Its really accessable in Junk and Debris, i just noticed.

Iron Chain Dragon + Junk Synchron.

And its good in DD Eatos.

Remove the Stardust Dragon and Neos Alius/Evolector to empty your Graveyard!

Yup...this is going to be a totally broken set.

I love broken sets....Actually gives me the urge to buy a box even though i have no money!

That's all

Bye!

Lack of posts until Friday.

As topic.

Will be very busy with my job at NUS until Friday.

Will make up for it by posting my Saturday Tournament Report @ Jurong East.

Bye!

P.S: I'm SO liking the spoilers of The Duelist Revolution. Its so nice!

The Third Gadget deck : GM Gadgets

First, there were Anti-Meta Gadgets...

Then there was Machina Gadgets....

Now...

I'm trying out a new build of Gadgets.

People might recall that Gadgets were used as Synchro food when the hyped 3x Krebons/Emergency Teleport was everywhere. People started testing the Teleport engine in what was periodically known as Tele-Gadgets.

Unfortunately, it didn't really work out...

Soo...I'm giving the Synchro thing another try.

This time...with something which everyone should be familar with.

Here we go :

GM Gadgets (Genex Machina Gadgets)

Monsters : 19

2 Cyber Dragon

3 Machina Fortress

3 Machina Gearframe

1 Machina Force

2 Green Gadget

2 Red Gadget

2 Yellow Gadget
3 Ally Genex Birdman

1 Scrap Recycler

Spells : 13

3 Smashing Ground

3 Book of Moon
1 Heavy Storm
1 Giant Trunade
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
2 Pot of Avarice
1 Limiter Removal

1 Brain Control

Traps : 9

2 Bottomless Trap Hole

2 Dimensional Prison
2 Raigeki Break

1 Mirror Force

1 Call of the Haunted

1 Starlight Road

Extra Deck : 15

1 Magical Android
1 AOJ Catastor
1 Goyo Guardian
1 Brionac , Dragon of the Ice Barrier
1 Gaia Knight , Force of the Earth
2 Ally Genex Triforce
1 Black Rose Dragon
1 Ancient Fairy Dragon
1 Lightning Warrior
2 Ally Genex Accel
1 Stardust Dragon
1 Infernity Death Dragon
1 Colossal Fighter

That's all for today.

Bye!

Comments and fixes are welcomed!

That's all for today.

Of Monarchs and Gadgets

While people will certainly have an impression that Blackwings and Gladiator Beasts would take the center stage for this new format, other underdogs are generally neglected.

I'm talking about Monarchs and Gadgets.

Watching the new Monarchs play has certainly made me change my views of them.

They are able to fight on par with Blackwings, and the fact that nobody will expect them gives them an element of surprise.

Like how Samuel won the Starlight Road Tournament yesterday with a Chaos Monarch varient.

Although i don't know his decklist, here's my take on it.

====================================================

Chaos Monarch

Monsters : 20

1 Gorz , Emissary of Darkness
1 Dark Armed Dragon
1 Chaos Sorcerer
2 Cyber Dragon
3 Caius the Shadow Monarch
2 Mobius the Frost Monarch
2 Gravekeeper's Spy
1 Gravekeeper's Descendant
2 Battle Fader
1 Sangan
1 Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind
1 Plaguespreader Zombie
1 Treeborn Frog
1 Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter

Spells : 10

1 Allure of Darkness
1 Foolish Burial
2 Soul Exchange
1 Brain Control
1 Heavy Storm
1 Giant Trunade
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
2 Book of Moon

Traps : 10

2 Bottomless Trap Hole
2 Dimensional Prison
1 Torrential Tribute
1 Mirror Force
1 Call of the Haunted
1 Trap Stun
1 Trap Dustshoot
1 Royal Oppression

=====================================================

As for Gadgets, i've seen many people starting to play it. Its matchup with Gladiator Beast is largely to its favor , while they can take on Blackwings with certain ease.

The Gadgets has been split into two forms :

Machina Gadget and Anti-Meta/Oppression Gadgets

While Anti-Meta Gadgets are proven to be quite better than its counterpart, the large use of promos such as Thunder King Rai-Oh and Doomcalibur Knight has prevented it from performing up to standard in Asia/World Qualifiers since promos are banned.

So, the other option would be Machina Gadgets. The advantage provided by the Gadgets would be able to fuel the summoning of Machina Fortress, while the trap protection provided and the removal which spells provide would make this deck quite a force to be reckoned with.

My take on Machina Gadgets would be ....


Monsters : 18

1 Tragoedia
3 Machina Fortress
3 Machina Gearframe
1 Machina Force
2 Green Gadget
2 Red Gadget
2 Yellow Gadget
2 D.D. Warrior Lady
2 Breaker the Magical Warrior

Spells : 13

3 Fissure
3 Smashing Ground
3Book of Moon
1 Heavy Storm
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Pot of Avarice
1 Limiter Removal

Traps : 9

2 Dimensional Prison
2 Bottomless Trap Hole
1 Torrential Tribute
1 Mirror Force
1 Trap Dustshoot
1 Call of the Haunted
1 Starlight Road

You can always replace the Tragoedia with Machina Peacekeeper.

Starlight Road can be changed to Trap Stun.

That's all for today.

BYE!

Tourney Report (12th March)

Went to pay my school fees, return library books and went to locals.

Initially wanted to use GB. But i was thrashed by Gadgets. So i converted to the dark side and played Gadgets.

Deck used : Gadgets

=====================================================

Match 1 : VS David (Psychic)
XOO

R1 : Solemn at the wrong time. Lost to Spell Striker
R2 : Controlled with heavy backrow. Beatdown with Gadgets.
R3 : Same with Round 2

1-0 (2 points)

=====================================================

Match 2 : VS Jin Hao (BF)
OO

R1 : Forgot how i won. He keep on being super hyper for no reason?
R2 : Went into topdecking mode. He no hand , no field except 1 Armored Wing. I topdeck Fissure with a Gadget.

2-0 (5 points)

====================================================

Match 3 : VS ?? (Chaos Monarch)
XOO

R1 : Oppressed until quite low. He Brain Controlled for game.
R2 : Raiou beatdown FTW!
R3 : Epic match. Forgot how i won though. Only know it was damm close.

3-0 (7 points)

====================================================

Match 4 : VS Sam (BF)
XOO

R1 : He set ALOT of m/t. Confused me and made me second doubt my moves. Lost because of timed Icarus Attacks.
R2 : Sided LJM and Trap Holes. Worked well..
R3 : Beated down. Synchro for Infernity Death Dragon and forgot must have 0 card to use effect....then just punch...then i won..?

4-0 (9 points)

====================================================

So i was auto in Top 8. There were 8 eight pointers. I didn't have time as i needed to rush off back home before my parents roared at me. Passed my deck to Jin Hao and he played on for me.

He got 3rd/4th, and helped me take a Burial from the D.D.

Ranking : 3rd/4th.

Not bad eh. First time play Gadgets can already get so good results. Just goes to show how much 3 Smashing Ground and 3 Fissures has powered up this deck. Fulfilled my quota...But i feel like trying to get another prize at ANOTHER tourney....Hm....Maybe next week bah, cause i can't go down to JE or tmr for the other Starlight Road Tourney.

Good luck for those playing.

Cannot join so many tournies lah....Later no money go on my date..haiz..


Bye!

Episode 100! + Thoughts before tmr.

So, Andore kills himself with another burn card, while stripping Yusei of half of his LP.

Why am i not surprised?

Like Neux said , he seems to have a fetish to finish off ppl with burn effects.

And Breo...Nothing to say.

So many chances to win Yusei.

But NOOOO.....He has to win Yusei by decking him out.

And i still can't believe John is the leader of Team Unicorn. Its like......Neux being the leader of SNSD, and that is fucked up.

==============================================

I'm going to try my best tmr.

P.S : Yes...I'm going to main my MAGIC CYLINDER.

Bye!
