Deck Concept I'm Considering

I really hate this time of the year in Yugioh.  Early to mid August/February is sort of the lull in competitive yugioh.  Twice a year, Konami sees fit to drop the banhammer or ease a previous banhammer on cards in the card pool.  I have absolutely no motivation to test, play, or even spend money on anything Yugioh related.

Cards I Miss, But Are Too Broken To Ever Come Back part 1

What are some of your favorite cards of all time?  If you are like me, the damn card is probably banned...and more than likely it deserved it's banned status.  To the newer players or less competitive players, understanding the Restricted status of cards is difficult.  This can be attributed to the fact that they either did not play the game in the card's prime, therefore don't have recurring nightmares of it's brokeness.  Or for whatever selfish reason, they just want to run the card because it's cool.  In today's article, I'll discuss my Monster of All Time:

Making Overpowered Cards Balanced

Twice a year, Konami sees fit to Limit, Semi-Limit, or outright Ban cards because of their inability to fully grasp card interactions with cards they create set to set.  The best way to explain this is Rescue Cat.  The card in of itself was bad Design, as Inherent +1s are not good for the game.  However, the card had always been balanced by the fact that cards you could grab with it were absolute GAAHBIJ!  That all changed with the release of  X Saber Airbellum and later on XX Saber Darksoul.  It's almost like they make cards just so they can ban cards... 

Yugioh Jargon 1 - Words and Phrases not found in the Manual

Hello friends.  To some of you who have been playing this game a short while have often sat nearby while two veterans are going at it and heard them exclaim or mutter words and phrases that obviously have relevance to the game, but the meaning of such totally escapes you.  Or sometimes you observe many people using the same manerisms or gestures.  I will try to define and bring to light many of these things to you to help you fit in with the vets in this series of Blog posts.

Deck Doctor #2 - Dark Magician Deck xD

Hey guys, welcome to deck doctor. My goal here is to try and help you make your deck more consistent while at the same time, trying to keep the spirit of the original build. My card choices will be based on the deck creator's ability to obtain the cards, playability, and keeping within the creator's playstyle. Let's take a look at tonight's build from RodyVF

Engineering a Competitive Deck: The Fundamentals and History of Yu-Gi-Oh! by iamsixxy

I'm going to be doing my next few articles on Deck Building and some of the fundamentals/ideologies you should be aware of when deck building. The six cards you draw maybe a lot more important than the remaining thirty-four in a match-up, but you want to build your deck in a way that will consistency give you a beautiful opening six. A lot of this may be second nature to some but I still see a lot of people failing in this critical department.
