I think it will be a Ritual monster that needs a Synchro, XYZ, and Fusion monster.

Great Old One Hastur
Wind Reptile / Synchro / Effect
LV4 2300/1000
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
(1) If this card is sent from the Monster Zone to the Graveyard: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; equip this card from your Graveyard to that target. While equipped by this effect, that monster cannot attack, and its effects are negated. (2) If this card is equipped to a monster by its own effect and leaves the field: Take control of that opponent’s monster this card was equipped to.
First of all, I'm laughing because the only Lovecraft card released so far that I haven't seen as a major character in Nyarko yet is Azzathoth. Now I can have Harem.dek!

It would be pretty cool if the Lovecraft deck turned out to be Level 4 Synchro.dek.

I like how it's WIND. I think I'm getting close to having a Wind per level. I wouldn't really dislike that...Light/Dark main deck but WIND bosses. They'd be much harder to negate for Chaos killers.

I think the best part of this is we can expect more support when CROS hits Korea, since this is SECE.

-Another Elder God Fusion, likely level 4
-Another Outer God Xyz, likely level 4
-Potentially a "c"Xyz Outer God, likely level 5
-Another spell card (Necromicon?) (sp?)

Right so about that:

It's good against Nekroz, like any monster floodgate. It has the advantage of being unbreakable by the typical means of Archmage + Decisive Armor. But its not perfect, because as a Nekroz player myself, monster floodgates like Thunder King Rai-Oh, Vanity's Fiend, and Spell Canceller are things you shouldn't side for, they are things you should main answers for. Stuff like Book of Moon, Raigeki, Snatch Steal, Book of Eclipse, Tackle Crusader are notable. Phantom of Chaos is probably the best, because it keeps Lilith from floating if it copies Shooting Quasar Dragon or Barbaroid. It's also a pain the ass to bring out, because the optimal way to do so is to Shaddoll Fusion with Treeborn. But you won't able to do that against Nekroz. This leaves running multiple WATER monsters like Ice Hand and El Shaddoll Fusion, making the deck less consistent, or running Nepheshaddoll Fusion, which has its own issues (like being weak to the same cards that break the floodgates). Plopping this won't even guarantee success in the first place, because of Valkyrus, its pretty much six turns of "no you can't attack", all the while they still get to deck thin and stall till they get an answer.

It's good, and it helps, but its not going to save Shaddolls. It's also bloody useless in most match-ups with the exception of stuff like tellars who use CotH. And I mean, Shaddolls kinda lose to tellars now so because of alphabet soupknight.

It'll totally have a pendulum effect that allows you to dump cards from your Extra Deck to the grave for incredibly dumb effects, too.

I almost think that already exists!

So in other news, I had enough spare change to buy a pack of The New Challengers:

Ruffian Railcar
Serenade the Melodious Diva
Watch Dog
Superheavy Samurai Kabuto
Calcab, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss (wee~)
Machina Megaform (ITS FOIL =3=)
Canon the Melodious Diva
Mimiclay
Punch-In-The-Box

So I pulled 7 commons, 1 rare, and 1 Super Rare. Didn't get anything I needed but I still got a Super Rare =3=

Overall not that impressive a set to me. There was another (DUEA?) that I was annoyed by, a lot of support for enemy decks and nothing for me specifically.

I guess I'm stuck poking around OCG until Synchron Extreme and Tatsunoko come out.

So far we've had Duelist Alliance, The New Challengers, and Secrets of Eternity in this Series. I looked around for Duelist Alliance since they were selling Primal Origin but they didn't have any.

Level 3: Mist Bird
Level 4: Hastur
Level 5: Nothing
Level 6: Orient Dragon, Speed Roid Magical Sword Dharma
Level 7: Clear Wing Synchro Dragon
Level 8: Stardust Dragon
Level 9: Mist Wurm
Level 10: Shooting Star Dragon, Stardust Warrior

....seems legit.

Currently Nekroz of Brionac is selling for anywhere from $110 to $150 dollars.

And people thought this deck wouldn't be expensive! :v

So having played around a little bit with Ritual Beasts:
  1. They have a very slow beginning. If they don't draw Elder, things won't go well for them. This limits the amount of playable hands they have.
  2. Their best comboes rely on keeping Ulti-Cannahawk on the field during your opponent's turn so that you can get the most searches. Removing Cannahawk is a great way to kill momentum.
  3. If they get set-up, there is pretty much no way of stopping them. Ulti-Gaiapelio tends to be, essentially, a bigger LaDD with more negates. Especially when you consider he can be recharged every turn and pumped up by Apelion.
  4. Overall, I've found that the best targets to Effect Veiler are: Rampengu, Kannahawk, Wen. The first two are to prevent banish fodder for Cannahawk while the third prevents more play.
  5. As a note: Not all of Ulti-Cannahawk's targets have to go to the Grave in order to search, only one does. So if your banished zone is Elder, Rampengu, Ulti-Apelion, you can target Rampengu and Ulti-Apelion, chain the defusion and SS Elder and Rampengu, and then the lone target goes to the grave and you get a search. Which really makes the deck more dumb in my opinion since its reduces the resources you need to search. :v
  6. Vanity's Emptiness. That is all.

It seems mass destruction is making a comeback...there needs to be an easier way of summoning Stardust Dragon. It makes me really wish Stardust were a Level 7, since that's the easiest level to make now. :/

Yeah I've seen cards like Mirror Force and Raigeki start to trend more at the format became more OTK intensive, since they both have their obvious merits. I know I run Raigeki in Nekroz so I can eliminate stuff like Majesty's (I don't have the room for Mirror Force personally). I still typically run Dimensional Prison over Mirror Force nowadays, but in some decks (HEROs comes to mind immediately), Mirror Force is the best option.

I've lost several duels to Raigeki, Excition lately because of how my deck functions to generate advantage. My approach to the game is to make as many Synchro Summons as possible to draw out protective backrow, and with the deck ratios configured to deal with enemy backrow, there's only a small number of true traps. Because, more often that not you just have to stop the opponent once during a turn, especially during the Battle Phase, and should protect your monsters and advantage engine for the OTK later on. A field full of traps when the opponent summons once isn't actually a live field.

Pure card advantage with thinning can erase a lot of mistakes or bad luck. I just beat a HERO player who used the following cards on me:

-Raigeki (vs. Librarian, Yazi, Dark Law) for a -2
-BTH (vs. Balmung, Armades, Tatsunoko) for a -2

In all the cases, I had Forbidden Lance set but didn't want to use it against Raigeki (since I had Soul Charge) which made me vulnerable to the BTH. He set two cards and I MST'd the one I thought was Miracle Fusion, which wasn't and that opened up that exploit.

You have to go out of the way, basically, to make Stardust Dragon because it's a Level 8. I would love nothing more than to have an opening of Librarian + Stardust with disruption and other protections, but it's increasingly hard to do that and still remain flexible against other threats.

This is actually something I've noticed/thought about since the meta nuke a while back, since I've focused on milking Librarian the cards around him have becoming increasingly less friendly toward Level 8. When I first started dueling, Level 8 was difficult to make as well.

Oh yeah Exciton is really common because resolving it against a Qliphort player generally results in a win. Every one of my complete blowouts against Qliphorts started with a Turn 2 Exciton and nuking everything on the field. One time I did the same but flipped Qliphort Disk face-down with Book of Moon, which was rather hilarious.

Ideally I'd like something to stop the searchers, but the effect negation is just dandy as well.

I lost to Plants, raged at the BRD, sided in MBAAS and won against Volcanics.

Note I did draw MBAAS against the Volcanics, but I had Dark Law + Stardust out already.

I had a flash of inspiration. It's worked out "kind of" well.

If you run three Thunder Dragons, you can almost guarantee Tatsunoko going into a Level 8 when it's summoned. The consistency running Thunder Dragon was crazy, along with the Upstarts and searchers I can now deplete my deck faster than Nekroz!

The bad part? I have no more late game plays or monster spams since I had to take out Chaos and Shaddoll Dragon to make it happen. Still thinking on finding a way to place BLS back in, since he should be in there at minimum.

But wow, Thunder Dragon. Just what I was looking for.

I constantly forget Thunder Dragon is a thing.

It also gives you Pleiades access whenever you want.

Discard Thunder Dragon to search one Thunder Dragon
Discard Thunder Dragon to search one Thunder Dragon
Soul Charge into Pleiades

Admittedly its not "whenever you want" but I remember that combo from when Shaddolls used it as a tech option.
