Yugioh Decks of the Format

So now we've had yet another SJC pass with LS dominating the scene. As good as zombies are, they just can't deal with an established field/swarm. Zombies have an amazing ability to swarm themselves and can produce easy +1s through mezuki + goblin zombie + caius plays. Also, the ability to spam lvl6 and lvl8 synchros is just nuts. But again, if the zombie player can't put away the opponent, they fall victim to counter attack through field wipes like JD, DAD, Vortex, etc. The deck runs extremely dead cards early game like 3 Burial from a Different Dimension, 2 Caius, and DAD (not many darks in the deck and darks are generally produced through synchros).

I've tried to run zombies and I just get torn apart by blackwings. Most zombie players will tell you that 1st turn set of goblin zombie will lead up to huge combos, but I'm here to say that a 1st turn shura + whirlwind nullifies that and will end up getting you icarus attacked. I kind of like the builds running pyramid turtle, but again vs BW you still get hurt by Shura. VS Lightsworn is kind of annoying as well as there is always the threat of Celestia or Ehren.

For me, the most fun decks are Chaos variants. Sorcerer is extremely easy to summon in the right deck and produces a +1 when it hits the field. But like all of the decks, it runs early game dead cards like Sorc itself and DAD.

Comment below about your favorite decks of the format and what problems you run into in various matchups. Then feel free to head over to my youtube channel and my website.

Brionac at 3? WTF is KOJ thinking?

So yeah, discuss how stupid this idea is. If you don't have a oppression face down and your opponent is running bw or zombies...GFG!

Yugioh Beginnings...when did you start playing?

I started playing YuGiOh back in the winter of 2004, spring 2005 when my oldest son was playing his friend using 80+ card decks. I thought the artwork on the cards were pretty cool and I saw how much fun they were having so I thought I would learn how to play. In a couple of days I had a 100 card dragon deck running 3 of every dragon I could find and every card that had dragon in it: Dragon Piper, Dragon's Treasure, Buster Blader, etc, etc. God it was so bad. I have to admit that it was pretty awesome summoning 3 Red Eyes in one turn thinking I could do like the cartoon!

Needless to say, I'm a much better player and deckbuilder now, but I'd like to know about your beginnings in the game. Comment below and tell me your story.

Please be sure to check out my channel and my website.

What Yugioh playmat do you use?

I like to use a hobby league mat without zones. I really can't stand the zones because I lay my deck sideways and it is annoying to hear my opponent say you put your deck in the graveyard herp, derp.... Also, I'm really digging the Team DKF!!! Mats, I think you all should go and buy one NAO! :-p

So yeah, like the title says. Comment below.

Samurai Pussy Cat! XX-Saber-Cat

2 XX-Saber Faultroll
3 X-Saber Airbellum
1 Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter
1 Rescue Cat
1 Rose, Warrior of Revenge
1 Summoner Monk
2 Gravekeeper's Spy
1 Gravekeeper's Guard
2 Mystic Tomato
1 Sangan
2 Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer
1 Blackwing-Gale the Whirlwind
1 Cyber Dragon

Spells: 14

1 Mind Control
1 Brain Control
1 Heavy Storm
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Giant Trunade
1 Cold Wave
2 Golden Sarcophagus
2 Pot of Avarice
2 Book of Moon
2 Allure of Darkness

Traps: 6

1 Solemn Judgment
1 Trap Dustshoot
2 Bottomless Trap Hole
1 Torrential Tribute
1 Mirror Force

This is my build of XX Sabers. The problem with most builds is that they think that the deck can be run as an Archetype. The other problem is that people go for the Highly Explosive, yet terribly inconsistent Charge of the Light Brigade engine. In my honest opinion the only way to run the deck is with Faultroll as tech and to completely forget about the Loop Combos involved. With "One for One" limited, there is no way to get that silly combo off reliably. Running this deck as Cat Synchro was run is the best. Sarco allows you to get easy access to Faultroll, Rescue Cat, or Monk. In most games, if you get out Gottoms and use his effect once, that will be devastating enough to end most games. When I run the deck, I play aggressively and only go for Gottoms when the situation allows it. I cannot stress enough that you should not make getting Gottoms out as soon as possible your priority.

I hope you like my build, if you have any questions leave a comment below or comment on my channel. Also, feel free to visit my website. Peace!

Stairway to Heaven - September 2009, format

3 Arkus, Lightsworn, Druid
3 Disciple of the Forbidden Spell
2 Honest
2 Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter
2 Thunder King Rai-Oh
1 D.D. Warrior Lady
1 Cyber Dragon
1 Chaos Sorcerer
3 Necro Gardna
2 Junk Synchron
1 Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind
1 Morphing Jar

2 Pot of Avarice
2 Charge of the Light Brigade
2 Fissure
1 Smashing Ground
1 Brain Control
1 Reinforcement of the Army
1 Heavy Storm


2 Royal Oppression
2 Dimensional Prison
2 Bottomless Trap Hole
1 Torrential Tribute
1 Mirror Force
1 Solemn Judgment

Combining speed and power this antimeta beatdown deck is ready to take on all comers. You can easily simplify the game with simple one for one's and eventually take control of the board with your protected monsters. Or you can simply synchro and lock the opponent down with your synchro tool box. With the release of catastor, this deck just gets better due to the fact that spamming LVL 5 synchros with Junk Synchron is what this deck does amazningly well. Hope you like it.

3 Things I Hate About Yugioh, part 1 (RANT!!!)

So like the title says there are 3 things that drive me absolutely INSANE when it comes to this game. This list is not in any particular order and it's not a complete list, but it is the 3 things that stand out most in my mind.

I cannot stand SMELLY ASS PEOPLE who play this game. It's like WTF? Does playing with cardboard trump soap? I guess in their mind, fiddling with shiny cardboard will prevent the body from producing odor or at least mitigate the need for Bathing. One day at locals onion man(cuz the odor makes your EYES WATER) comes in with a new binder full of goodies. I was OMFG, I must has his 1st ed Ancient Fairy Dragon (Ghost Rare)...but I don't wanna vomit in the process. So you know what I did, I took a DEEP breath and muttered, "Hey, I'm gonna leave my binder right here and if you see anything you want for your AFD ghost rare, let me know and I'll come back over...*pant-pant-pant*" Sure enough, he comes back to where I'm sitting and SITS DOWN NEXT ME AND I NEARLY FAINT...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I absolutely hate people who have NEVER competed in a tounament in their life, but brag about how amazing they are because they beat all of their friend. It's called, "Your only as good as your competition!" I'm pretty sure all of you have witnessed a group of starry eyed kids walk into locals for the first time. They may or may not have sleeves on their decks. They have a rubber band around their deck instead of keeping it in a deckbox...or my favorite, they keep the deck in their pocket. I like to challenge kids like this to duels with my crazy deck ideas. You pick out the "Leader" which is evident because the sleeves in his deck all match. As you sit down, one of his friends will warn that he is really good because he always gets Buster Blader out...WTF??? Anyway during the game, the kid opens Graceful, premature, and Chaos Emperor Dragon. Dumps CED with graceful, plays premature and attempts to blow tha field...WTF??? Yeah, pretty bad. And keep in mind that they all have paid their entry fee for the tourney. The only saving grace for these BK's is that they usually have Hidden Gems in their collection. Random tech copy Destiny Draw (1st ed) to go with the tech copy of Malicious. Yeah, I'll trade 1337 Buster Bladers for those 2 cards...thank you sir.

Finally, I cannot stand people who think that you MUST trade with them. So what if I have a large collection of card "X". Am I obligated to trade it to you? Am I supposed to trade it for stuff that I do no want? That doesn't make me greedy, that means that I am a good collector. So many people get mad because they don't have certain cards and then hate on you if you the cards they need. I completely understand if you do not want to spend a fortune getting the cards. But, as I watch them buy pack after pack pulling jank rares, I have to ask myself, "You could've just bought the card from me and saved yourself time, energy, money, and FRUSTRATION!"

Well, I hope you enjoyed my little rant. I have a bunch more in my head that I'll be writing about in the future. So if you like it, leave a comment and be sure to check out my youtube channel and my website. Peace.
