Why? They're basically a new version of tribute summoning.

Gonna have to 3rd this. So true and a hell of a lot better than my suggestion.

So, looking at current offers for the participation mat(whose artwork is Tour Bus From the Underworld), the mat is worth $100 right now. That's only going to go up. Sweet. :F

This mat completely covers the cost of me going xD

Beat Shuckle in a "clean sweep," as someone here used before, 8000-0.

Dueled Deo's Nurse deck thrice. Lost 2-1. First and third games were in his favor, with Gift Card being the bane of my existence. Second game Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon (or "Brokey McBrokerson," as it was christened by Deo) and co. wiped the floor before Deo could do anything really. Got McBrokerson and BEWD out on my first turn in the third game, but Deo destroyed them with whatever Spell Cards, while dealing 2000 damage to me in the process because Nurse deck. Ouch.

GG's.

We should be "Team Hair."

And even though I have Xyz's in my extra decks, I rarely use them (I only ever use that one dragon dude anyways).

In July, Six Samurai are getting an XYZ monster. No one knows what it does, or what it's called, but every one's excited xD

I'm more excited about the common Fiendish Chain that comes in the structure deck xD

Also, if any one wants to get into the game IRL, buying that deck sounds like it will be an AMAZING way to do it

Dueled a bunch of people today! Won a couple times, too. No matches under my belt but I did beat deo on his unlucky day and also TDos once or twice and I thought I beat TDos but I really didn't. And phoopes, mustn't forget him.

On the whole, a great time was had by all.

Testing a new deck. This one is quite likely to fail miserably but the card names are entertaining.

Two games against Deoxys's hero deck is two games too many. I am reminded why I prefer Magic so much more to Yu-Gi-Oh: in Yu-Gi-Oh, every single player plays control and the only question is how much control you want to play. But in Magic, if you want to play control, you have to splash a little blue. (Or black, but mostly blue.) Want to play Red/White aggro-burn? Great! Do it! But you don't get to play control. Want to do Red/White/Blue aggro-burn-control? Great! Do it! But you're going to have to play Russian roulette with your opening hand + subsequent draws to see if you draw the cards you need and in the order you need them. Yu-Gi-Oh just laughs at this, like a retarded 10 year old, and says "COUNTUHSPELL DA COUNTUHSPELL OF DA COUNTUHSPELL FOR EVEWYBODY! :3" This is fun maybe the first, I dunno, week or two you're back playing Yu-Gi-Oh. But after a while you get tired of playing -- and running up against -- control decks all the time. And with Magic, you have an alternative solution: the four other colors. With Yu-Gi-Oh, you're pretty much joined at the hip to control forever. Which means that when you get sick and tired of control, you've basically gotten sick and tired of Yu-Gi-Oh the game.

I'm sick and tired of Yu-Gi-Oh the game. For once, I'd like to be able to not lose because every single one of my counters is countered by your counters. For once, I'd like to be able to win not because you weren't able to counter my amazing summon but because my summon was neato in and of itself. It sucks to win when your opponent says, "You only won because I didn't draw X, Y, or Z." And it sucks to lose when you are that person. Control vs. Control = sad times for everyone. Except that retarded 10 year old. But he's retarded.

Me and some friends are driving up there and competing, and two of us are expecting to do very well.

His deck is totally unique, and exciting, and from the testing we've done, he should perform very well as well.

If you'd like to follow my friend and I, you can read live coverage articles of the event as well as standings on saturday and sunday as the tournament unfolds at http://www.konami.com/yugioh/blog/ . My name, so you can see how I'm doing, is Robert Lawrence, and my friend running the Bubbleman OTK deck is Scott Enos.

Additionally, the articles will be invaluable resources for any of you who would like to up your game and learn about some of the top tier strategies and techs that are making an impact on the meta game at the moment. I highly recommend checking some of the articles out if you have a chance.

On saturday evening, I will try to post here on my phone with a summary of how we did, and whether me or any of my friends made it to day 2. I'm expecting me and at least one of my friends to make it as I said, so it should be really exciting and a lot of fun! If any one has any questions how a large scale tournament like this works, feel free to ask!
Awesome! Good luck to ya both.

We only made a couple and I forget the rest.
That phrase is terribly familiar, but I can't remember actually saying it myself. Have I really said that?
Not disputing, and I love the phrase, I just don't remember when I may have said it..

I see, I must have seen someone else say it then and really liked it.

I posted in the tourny thread with my schedule.

No. We were assigning catchphrases at almost-random and that one fell to you. I'm glad you like it though~

Sneezey's always makes me laugh. XD

DON'T GET PENISY BOY

Also, I tried XYZ's today... and I am officially a convert. I now have a deck that runs Wind-Ups, Inzektors, XYZ's, and Synchros, all at once, and works beautifully. It's almost saddening.

I'm sticking with my frogs damnit ;;. (And my burn, which is quite fun too).

Until I find something sillier, anyway.

I still prefer my DD deck at this point, and my Darklord deck is still my second favorite.

I've been trying out all kinds of different decks lately. Used a Zombie World deck against Deo's Heroes. Zombies lost because they can't play quick enough to keep up with Heroes.

Have a Rock deck, Golem deck (basically specialized Rock), Blackwing, Harpie-Blackwing, Verz and Zombie Chaos that are just kind of sitting there. Will probably get aroun to testing them at some point.

I seem to be the only person without a set 2-4 decks that they use constantly.
