Max Darkness Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 On the topic of your sig, your previous one was about 5D's. Why do you hate it, exactly? I don't hate 5Ds; I just find many of its plots and devices humorous and annoying (usually in equal measure). I was suspicious of Yliaster when they first came along since I'd enjoyed season 1 and was dreading them ruining their arc. I've always found the idea of a world based around a card game quite silly, but now that that has to be done while riding on motorcycles (which, by the way, seem to be able to withstand huge crashes) makes me laugh. Yusei and co.'s fervent (and unyielding) desire to try to beat the Synchro Killers using Synchro monsters also tickles me. I will admit I do get annoyed with some of the episodes; if they're filler or not thought out very well. The episode when Yusei tries to duel without his Synchro monsters is the one that riles me most though. He says he's going to stop using Synchro monsters and almost immediately summons "Junk Synchron". You'd think if he wasn't going to use Synchro monsters, he'd probably rework his Deck somewhat. I also don't like how Aki has been sidelined. I know it happens in every anime, but she had a good run of character development in season 1, and now she's even listed in the end credits as 'benchwarmer'... Overall though, I just find it silly or completely unbelieveable more times than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the point of using Synchros is to show that they can't be defeated/they are superior. 3 Useless filler. 4 It happens eventually. 5 Just like DM and GX.

DARKPLANT RISING Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Max, but if you hate it, then you too. I'm interested in your opinions on the matter.I happened to have a pic of 5D's in my siggy until several days ago... Well, I liked it until the Dark Signers ended. Till then it was awesome. I love occult, and many people "die" there (I'm Japanese, so I watch the original). Also, Kiryu was the awesomest character ever in Yu-Gi-Oh, and as much as it bore a striking resemblance to Neon Genesis Evangelion's Second Impact, the Zero-Reverse plot device was nice. Rex Godwin was muscular, but his deck was interesting. In addition I liked the Earthbound Immortal Summoning Sequence sound track. Basically, I like things with plot. Then, Season 3 started, and everything returned to GX. See, I simply hated GX. I stopped watching it until the Yandere you all know came in and things started to get a little gory at Season 3. 1 and 2 were composed of short story fillers. Evne after Season 3 started I only watched one episode in three, 30-second-skipping all the fillers that had no relation to plot or anything. Season 4? Forget that, they should have ended with Season 3. The same can be said to 5D's, except this time Season 2 would have been the nicest of endings since it had only several fillers, which was pretty amazing for YGO. The next year was horrible. Filler dominated. I stopped watching. Since Zexal's main character is grinning, we can't expect a good plot from there either. Chances are it's another year of short stories. So I'm going to stop watching YGO anime completely and go off to see others. Q.E.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Ok, I cba to read all of that. Can anyone give me a summary? On a unrelated topic, how would a Alien + Worm Deck Sound? And any tips on making cards that would help them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Darkness Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 On a unrelated topic, how would a Alien + Worm Deck Sound? And any tips on making cards that would help them? I don't think they would mesh that well, since "Light of Intervention" (great for "Aliens") would mess up the "Worms" while "Book of Moon" etc. (great for "Worms") would remove A-Counters on the field. Basically, each other's greatest supports card(s) screw the other one over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Darkness Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Effect: Your opponent must attack at least 1 "Present" monster you control during their Battle Phase. Once, you can negate the destruction of this card. If you do not, put 1 Present Counter on a face-up monster your opponent controls for each face-up "Present" monster you control. You can Special Summon this card from your hand by removing 3 "Present" monsters in your Graveyard from play. When a monster you control with a Present Counter(s) is destroyed, distribute its Present Counters among face-up monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a stall Deck that abuses "Worm Lynx" and "Cosmic Fortress Gol'Gal"? Perhaps a few "Honests" thrown into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Darkness Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Well actually, Worms don't need to flip that often and Light of Intervention doesn't have to be used in Alien Decks. Perhaps a stall Deck that abuses "Worm Lynx" and "Cosmic Fortress Gol'Gal"? Perhaps a few "Honests" thrown into it. I don't really know enough about either archetype. I was basing my advice on the fact the higher-level "Worms" really benefit from "Book of Moon". On a seperate topic, I am so glad I bought my £5 folder of YGO cards at a garage sale. I brushed over and stored most of the cards the first time, but now that I've looked through (sorting through them), I've found a gold mine. A slew of Ultra Rares ("Red-Eyes Darkness", "Vampire Genesis", "Infernal Flame Emperor", "Neo-Daedalus", "Gilford the Legend", "Simorgh, Bird of Divinity", "Super Conductor Tyranno", "Phoenix Gearfried"), a lot of Super Rares (including a Pharoanic Guardian 1st Edition "Necrovalley") and best of all, a good number of Ultimate Rares (like "Mind on Air", "Sacred Phoenix of Nepthys" and "Thestalos"). Actually, I lie. The best finds were a number of game promos. The "Duelist of the Roses" promos (Secret Rare "Magnet Warriors"), The "WC04" Secret Rare "Valkyrion", and the "Capsule Monsters" Super Rare "Inferno Hammer" (<- The CMC cards are almost impossible to find now). Added to that I found out the "Scrap Archfiend" I bought from eBay a few months ago was mislabled and was in fact a Sneak Peak edition (not a standard set edition) and at a little tourney I went to recently I got both a Super Rare "Dark Armed Dragon" (traded for a pair each of "Nitros" and "Turbos" and a few "Worms") and a Secret Rare "Neos Wiseman" (which I somehow traded for a bunch of "Naturias"), I'm very happy.

Lexadin Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yeah, understandable. Wow! That's quite some findings. I hardly got any very rare cards myself, though I have some (I think they're called Ghost Rares) and a few rare old cards. Anyways great findings.

Max Darkness Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'm very happy. And now for another reason. A friend told me recently that you can get incredible combos in YGO when you think outside the box. So I tried it with my 'Ultima Mill' Deck in "Reverse of Arcadia" and managed to get my opponent to Deck Out in 4 turns. Care to guess how my Deck ate his? (clue: it involves one of my favorite monsters...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 *tries to remeber Max's fav card* Darn it, I can't remember. Sorry, Idk. Care to tell us? I also have noticed that, as I once ran an Arcana Force Heal Deck, which is pretty healfull. Oh, and my Worm Deck owns in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Darkness Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I also have noticed that, as I once ran an Arcana Force Heal Deck, which is pretty healfull. Oh, and my Worm Deck owns in that game. I take it that used cards like "Cestus of Dagla" and that "Arcana" Field Spell. It's "Gladiator Beasts" all the way in my game, but my real-life version is now superior, thanks to additions from "Starstrike Blast". *tries to remeber Max's fav card* Darn it, I can't remember. Sorry, Idk. Care to tell us? The monster Sweet Lightning hated me using: Needle Worm! It did take some luck, and when I first looked at my hand, I did consider just going on the defensive. But I tried something and incredibly it worked... This is a 'transcript' of the duel from "Reverse of Arcadia". The AI was using my Vanilla Fiend beatdown Deck. Turn 1 AI: (Deck: 40 -> 34)Activates "Dark World Dealings", discarding "Broww, Huntsman of Dark World", whose effect activates (Deck: 32). Normal Summons "Archfiend Soldier" and activates both "Solidarity" and "Heart of the Underdog". Sets one card. Me:Activates "Foolish Burial", sending "Needle Worm" to the Graveyard. Activates "Monster Reborn", Special Summoning "Needle Worm" in Defense Position. Activates "Inferno Reckless Summon", Special Summoning a pair from the Deck. Opponent Special Summons 2 "Archfiend Soldiers" (Deck: 30). Normal Summons "Shield Worm", who switches to Defense Position and mills four cards (Deck: 26). Sets two cards. Turn 3 AI: (Deck: 25)Draws and reveals "Zure, Knight of Dark World" (with "Heart of the Underdog") to draw another card (Deck: 24). Activates "Summoner's Art", adding "Summoned Skull" to his hand (Deck: 23). Activates "Ancient Rules", Special Summoning "Summoned Skull". Attacks "Needle Worm". I activate "Book of Eclipse" (all monsters are flipped face-down). During the End Phase, AI's monsters are flipped face-up and he draws one card for each (Deck: 19). Me:Activates "Desert Sunlight", flipping all my monsters face-up. My trio of "Needle Worms" activate (Deck: 4). Draws and Summons "Shield Worm", whose effect activates (Deck: 0). Turn 5 AI:Decks out.

Lexadin Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yeah, and a the sheer ATK power of AF - The Earth. Lol, that's quite some luck indeed. Though it sounds very effective. I might try that. Or perhaps not. Btw, I just noticed that I had a Burn Speed Deck, it abuses the speed of the opponent with cards like Magical Barrel and that self destruct Machine thingy.

Btw, I just noticed that I had a Burn Speed Deck, it abuses the speed of the opponent with cards like Magical Barrel and that self destruct Machine thingy. It is an incredibly odd hand for use in a Mill Deck: "Shield Worm", "Inferno Reckless Summon", "Foolish Burial", "Monster Reborn", "Desert Sunlight" and "Book of Eclipse". Only the first and last of those cards would you usually expect in a Mill Deck. (And it is 4 Spells, 1 Trap and only 1 Monster) But yeah, it all came from me moaning that I was unable to get "Needle Worm" on the field fast enough. So he proposed I try messing with my own Deck and Graveyard to get it out. As for Burn Decks, I always find "Mirage Tube" with "Secret Barrel" and "Dark Room of Nightmare" is a great way of inflicting a lot of damage to your opponent in one Battle Phase. And I've also found one card that will completely and utterly ruin my "Sanctuary" Deck: "Life Equalizer"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Well some of the greatest things have come from experimenting. Meh, Mirage Tube's kinda situational imo. I rather counter their attack with an Dimensional Wall, for some serious damage. Yeah, I noticed that a long time ago. Luckely for you, nobody uses it.
