It's not terribly easy to do, you say, and yet Doppel does it all the time. ^^; Perhaps he just makes it look easy.
Thirteen of the top sixteen decks being Dragon Ruler may be disgusting, but it's also the sort of thing which could get the cards emergency banned. Remember what Doppel said: the last time Konami ever issued an emergency ban mid-season, it was because the broken cards they had put out were suffocating interest in the tournament scene. And I can't think of any better way to stifle interest in the tournament scene than to make nearly all fifteen of these final matches (fifteen = one championship + two semis + four quarters + eight Sweet Sixteens) be coin flips where it's basically Deck A in Player A's hands vs. Deck A again but in Player B's hands. Big friggin' deal that Player B has one or two different cards from Player A: it's the same goddamn deck and you're not getting away with calling it "Deck B". It's Deck A' at best. So who knows. Maybe this is exactly what we needed.

I do hope they get emergency banned. Tempest is the most obvious offender. Tidal I've discovered is actually extremely good...and of course it is. Past me didn't realize it was a free Foolish Burial. So he should be limited, as well as Redox. And no one cards about Blaster.

I played pimp, the #1 duelist on DN in terms of wins. He's generally not too shabby with rating and experience, either. He was hanging out in Unlimited to test Sixth Sense Lightsworn, and I went after him with Sixth Sense Dragon Rulers.
I lost, but it was close. Pretty cool!

I played a deck featuring a lot of banned cards in Unlimited, and on the last play I dropped Heavy Storm. The opponent Necro-neos simply let his field get wiped and surrendered. He had Solemn Judgment, Metamorphosis and Creature Swap set. I thought this was kind of weird, given he'd set bluffs but didn't use SJ to reinforce the bluff. That lead to a long conversation in which I learned something about the deck I didn't notice...
Spoiler: show To wit: earlier in the duel I attacked into two sheep tokens and he played double Dimension Prison, which I responded to with double Forbidden Lance. Later, he used Tribe Infecting Virus to kill Chaos Sorcerer and T.G. Hyper Librarian, but I protected it with Starlight Road...only to have road negated by Dark Bribe. So, going in, I wasn't expecting bluffs. I didn't know I was facing the famous Goat Control either, since Goat Control players tend to stay away from Advanced decks like mine simply because of their ability to overwhelm Goat. But, I hadn't seen this personally, and this was the first Goat Control deck I ever faced. And sure enough I did punch a hole through it. Interesting that a legendary deck capable of frustrating even Black Luster Soldier was to relatively easy to take apart, even if it was a rather competitive game. His criticism is something Talon's brought up about me too. I love to consolidate the field and not decisively attack, and in this case I was going to summon Stardust Dragon and a Balmung before attacking into his face down cards. He only had one Dimensional Prison left in his deck, and potentially only Mirror Force, Sakuretsu or Magic Cylinder. All cards I could have handled. But I could have easily taken the duel by simply attacking over TIV, and there's where out mentalities differ.

I don't know what happened there, but props on the Malefic use.
I've been having some good fun too. I have been playing Agents against Kin, and I think I've found the best Agents configuration I've had for a while now. 30 monsters(Kratos: ewwwww), 5 Spells, and 5 Traps. I've beaten Kin's deck nearly everytime, but he has gotten quite a bit better at it. But he seriously needs to stop falling for Gorz!bait. I almost wish Gorz is at two. I used to hate it but it has amazing utility. And in the meantime, I've also been trying out Evilswarm. The couple of duels I had against Kin's Doll Lock deck were probably some of the best duels I've ever had, and I lost each one. The plays...the plays man they are amazing. One such play was that Kin had Stardust Dragon and two Princess Colognes out. I had a set Deck Devastation Virus and a face-up Infestation Infection, and an Evilswarm Castor in hand. I shuffled Castor in for Kerykeion(this card is pretty OP), and XYZed a Master Key Beetle. I activated a second Infestation Infection(I forgot, this was face-down as well), and used Master Key Beetle's effect on it. I attacked Stardust Dragon, sending the second Infection to the grave to keep Key Beetle alive, and during the MP 2 I tributed Key Beetle for Deck Devastation Virus, destroying his two Princess Colognes. Plays like that just don't happen in most duels. Also, Evilswarm is the first deck I've come across where I honestly felt safe going against Fire Kings.

Also, darn it, I'll be if Nordics aren't difficult to fine-tune appropriately. Still looking for the best possible configuration and ratios available, not to mention combinations. Nothing seems to make me happy. Damn you Vanadis, and your ridiculous Nordics-Only Clause that actually makes you fair and balanced. Also damn you, Valkyrie, and your many, many clauses which make you so unwieldy. Also, Mecha Phantom Beast will be a blast to build with. Might as well get started after work.

I read this guy perfectly. He set two cards and one was Decree, so the other was obviously MST. I tried to get him to bait the MST with Macro but he wouldn't bite, and instead gave a long speech about how Macro doesn't work. I'm not that dumb. Then he summons Shi En, Shien and Zanji, and attacks into Malefic Stardust Dragon. Big mistake! Wisel has 2500 defense so neither of his monsters can hurt it. I then steal Shi En the next turn and kill Shien. He tries to flip MST but it's far too late.

Kin that was literally the best thing ever. Thankfully, I liberated you from the trolls.

Couldn't sleep
Dueled a bit. Faced Vampires Won after a few turns of SS Vampire stall Glad I never attacked with Alucard because that Vain Betrayer card would have lost me the game... (the face up Sorcerer was in his hand, VB was face down.

So, I remember talking to Talon one day about how he loved Fire Fist, but he wanted some draw power. After looking at T.G. Stun decks, I was reminded about a certain card that you might find useful Talon if you haven't already considered it.
Horn of the Phantom Beast. This is what the card does: Quote:

The guy was doping on LP because I couldn't summon a Junk Synchron, and wouldn't for 2 more turns. So he was gaining 6,000 LP each turn. I attacked his Cyber Phoenix and he quits. I have no idea why.

Two-Neo Spacian Hummingbirds + 6 cards in hand.
In otherwords, he must have had a Reckless Greed.

I didn't use Reckless, I was just drawing poorly and had no way of thinning my deck to improve the draws. The sets you see were Forbidden Lances, BTH and CED. Useless against the Humming Birds and summoning Tricky at that point was too expensive/dangerous. I would have taken some hard negs to fight back so I preferred to wait and just let him dope.

That wasn't what I expected you to link. It's an interesting concept card, but it doesn't really do much for practical play...
Anyway, I'm here to announce that Konami has done it again. Remember Crazy Box and how everyone said it was broken? Well, here's how to top that... Quote:

Not to mention, that effect can activate during your opponent's Battle Phase, which means its technically Speed Spell 2 IIRC. That can lead to some pretty crazy shit.
And the fact that its a "Ilswarm" monster disgusts me greatly. It has access to all of that support. Well, Pandemic, but that's not the point. Still. ^^; EDIT: HEY LOOK GUYZ. XYZ FINALLY HAVE A RELIQUISHED.

I was looking at that card. There's a new Rank 6 that comes out that can be summoned with an overlay of a Rank 5 Water as well. Since I can make Rank 5 pretty easily, it's offers the blanket effect negation that I've been lacking from a lot of my cards. :V

Screw whatever obsession Konami has with Bujins.
Screw it all to hell. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Bujintei_Tsukuyomi
