Welcome to YGO Discussion!

Okay just for all the Members who visit this Site for a Couple of Hours after this post know that it might be missing some Pages because i am doing a little reorganizing so do not worry everything is fine i am just updating it a little.That is all. 

Okay so i am here this time to talk to you about one of the most popular Cards During the Game right now, Stardust Dragon. We are all familiar with the Effect of Stardust Dragon right?He can practically negate any Effects that destroy Cards on the field which means Lightning Vortex, Heavy Strom and even Mirror Force. And its Second Effect comes in handy as well with some Cards.Bu let us see what really comes to my mind about this Card.

Okay so this is what i am trying to say this card is currently the Strongest Synchro Monster that exists until now. This is not only because of the 2500 ATK that crushes a lot of Monsters it also gives you the capabilities of a Safe Attack.You must have guessed it by now that it negates a lot of currently playable Trap Cards like Mirror Force, Sakuretsu Armor and many others. Which means you don't have to worry when you Swing for a finishing blow. Anyway about the second Effect, it is good because it can Support some Cards.The most Important one was Card of Safe Return but they banned it and now there aren't many Cards like it but it is still useful. But the thing that Bugs me is that it hasn't even been touched by the Limited, Semi-Limited list or any other.It is still available at 3. And what makes it worst is its biggest supporting Trap Card-Starlight Road. When both at 3 you can really put the hurt on your opponent. But that is why i am sure that with the release of this new Card one of them is going to get hit by the List and it won't be pretty since we are all used to these 2 at 3 copies each.

A couple of days ago i saw what was going on about the Shonen Jump on the Official Yu-Gi-Oh! Website and when i saw the Top 16 i was surprised,but when they announced the winner,i almost fell out of my seat. Like usual i thought that the Shonen Jump Top 16 will be a gathering of more casual Decks, like Gladiator Beasts,Lightsworn and Blackwing. But that's the thing is, the percentage for those Decks was extremely low. Only one Blackwing Deck made it to the Top 16,1 Gladiator Beast as well and 3 Lightsworn Decks,2 Normal Lightsworn Decks and 1 Monarch Lightsworn. But what was the weirdest thing were the other Deck Lists.All that i can say is that People are using the opportunity of 2 copies of Dandylion in their Decks very creatively. 

 Now as i stated before, not many players kept winning using Blackwing or any of the other Popular Decks but the this Ban list might have been more than just a Lightsworn Destroyer. It may have destroyed a lot of Decks but by doing that a lot of people were encouraged to make more Creative Decks.Ladies and Gentlemen, The 75th Shonen Jump Winning Decks Presents: Quickdraw Dandy Warrior! Many people like to refer to it as Quickdraw Plants but the Player names the Deck,not Shonen Jump. Whatever you would like to call it the Strategy still remains the same. We are all familiar with Quickdraw Synchron right? He was the Level 5 Tuner Monster that can be Substituted for any other Synchron and can be Special Summoned by discarding 1 card from your hand. And there you go The Quickdraw Dandy Warrior Deck.But let me explain even more. Quickdraw is a Level 5,and Dandylion is a Monster that when sent to the Graveyard from anywhere it Special Summons 2 Level 1 Tokens that may not be used for a Tribute on the First Turn but no one said they cannot be used for a Synchro Summon. And that's why the Deck is called like that, referring to a Level 5 Tuner and 2 Level 1 Tokens that can make a Level 7 Nitro Warrior with 2800 ATK and many many Good Effects. But like always we know that 50 % of the Game is Luck,no matter how skilled someone is. But this Player thought of that, so he included many Cards that saved him in situations like that. He made a very Original Deck and all that is left is to say that Second Place was Doomcaliber Gadgets.Okay so if you want more information about this go to www.yugioh-card.com and check it out yourself.I will now Post the Decklist for this Deck above this post and i guess that's it.

Okay, so lately i have been thinking about the new ban list and the 75th Shonen Jump. With the recent ban list the 75th Shonen Jump has brought me confusion. It's true that Lightsworn deserved to be hit hard but that is the hole confusion that is bothering me. I have been checking the percentage of the Decks that have been played each Shonen Jump. During the last Shonen Jump before the ban list over 42 % of the players were playing Lightsworn, the other 58 % all together being Zombies, Blackwing and Gladiator Beasts. I am not even trying to calculate how many players played mixed Decks like VayuSworn,ZombieSworn and other Decks,but we did see an amazing comeback from the Monarchs and Gadgets when they placed in the Top 16. Now let's look at all of this more carefully.

 Okay so seeing the new ban list mostly hit Lightsworn i am guessing that not many players will be playing Lightsworn now. But i have been hearing rumors that even though the percentage might drop up to 27 % percent and drop to around 15 %, some players have been trying to make Pure Lightsworn Decks without Plaguespreader Zombie or Blackwing-Gale the Whirlwind and concentrating on Drawing Cards and more importantly on Judgment Dragon,since he was the only Important Lightsworn Support Monster that did not get a Scratch. But, even if the Lightsworn ban list was the ban list that touched mainly the Lightsworn it did shoot at 1 more very important Card, and that Card is Foolish Burial. We all know Foolish Burial very well,since it has been used in a lot of Meta Decks,none more important than Zombie Decks.Without Foolish Burial at least at the Semi-Limited Position, the Zombie Decks Don't have with what to send Monsters to the Graveyard which is the Key to the hole Deck. It is the Key because the Zombie way of playing is getting Zombie Type Monsters to the Graveyard so that they can then be resurrected using Zombie Master, Mezuki and several other cards. But so far by my opinion Foolish Burial is the Card that can easily bring Synchro Monsters to the Table, since it can send Plaguespreader Zombie to the Graveyard and then to the Field. Well i guess i have said enough, just say what you think about this in the Discussion Board results.

We all know that Lightsworn is one of the most powerful Decks ,but with them running 3x Honest ,3x Lumina and 3x Charge Of The Light Brigade it seems that the Lightsworns cannot be defeated.

But now with the new ban list out other decks can finaly get a chance to prove themselfs.Finaly Konami posted a new ban list that is bad for the Lightsworn Decks and not for any other Decks.I am really glad that they finaly messed up the Lightsworn Deck because Konami just loves the Lightsworns.Konami loves the Lightsworn because all this time there were better decks then the Lightsworn like:Gladiatorbeast ,TeleDAD,SynchroCat and Blackwings.All of these Decks were better than the Lightsworn and they all the Cards those Decks used got limited or forbiden.

Now,i'm here to talk to you about Judgment Dragon.Now,he is a powerful Monster indeed,with a very powerful effect,and those who have played against him,don't tell me he isn't powerful,because i'll seriously destroy you.Now,he isn't perfect of course,no Monster is,but his effect is definitely powerful.Now,i will explain his effect in just a moment.

Now,he is a 3000 ATK Monster who is simply summoned,by having 4 different Lightsworn Monstersin your Graveyard,which is a piece of cake for Lightsworn Decks,but the bad thing about this guy is that he only works great in Lightsworn Decks and nothing else.Now,many people will be dissapointed now that the March 1 ban list is out,but he is still the 3000 ATK Maniac he used to be.And for the price of only 1000 LP,you get to blow the hole field up,or better said,destroy everything on the field.Now,i do have(and play) 2 Judgment Dragons,that has been going on for 2 years and i don't mean to stop now just because of the March 1 ban list.But,this is something i never thought i would admit,but,Dark Armed Dragonis better that Judgment Dragon.Yes,it's true,and it's the simplest thing to figure out why.it's because JD works well with Lightsworn and only Lightsworn.DAD works well with almost every single deck on earth,and i mean every single deck.And that's why DAD is better thatn JD,even if his ATK and his Effect aren't better,i told you the reason,now you need to discuss it.

Now,what i'm about to show you is what is only available to be seen in the cartoons.A Dark Synchro.i managed to make one using Photobucket and of course,yugiohcardmaker.net,and here is what it looks like:

 Now,i made this so don't think it's real or anything,but in case you didn't know,let me explain how it works.

Now,when summoning a Synchro Monster,you combine monsters and add Levels,right?Well here,it's a little different.Instead of adding Levels,here you reduce them.Yeah,that's right.Now instead of doing 1 Non Tuner monster+1 Tuner monster,It goes 1 Non-Tuner Monster - 1 Dark Tuner Monster.Also,instead of using Normal Tuners,you use Dark Tuner Monsters.Well,that's abou all i have to say about Dark Synchro Monsters,and you tell me what you think.

Well,i was recently making cards on yugiohcardmaker.net(check interesting web-sites if you don't know it) and i made a new card that really doesn't seem bad to me.Here it is:

Effect:

Now,honestly,Dark Armed Dragon is an awesome card.Blackwing decks pulled him back in the game after he got limited.Now the question that has been going around in my hand for weeks,is Dark Armed Dragon going to get banned?Now i'm not saying that he is as powefull as the original Envoy of Begining or Envoy of End monsters,i'm not saying he has gotten to that powerfull position yet,but they made much too much decks with him,like Blackwing,Twilight,Dark Synchro and many other decks.Now let us see a few points about Dark Armed Dragon:

 Now,Dark Armed Dragon is a monster that is most oftenly used to end the duel as many say.He is a unique monster that only needs 3 Dark monsters in your graveyard and it's effect let's you remove 1 Dark monster from your graveyardto destroy one card on the field.The good thing about this card is you can use it's effect as many times as you want.The bad thing is you have to have exactly 3 Dark monsters in your graveyard to summon him.So,it'snormal that many Dark Decks use him.Now,i remember the time when this guy was only semi-limited,and he was the primary card in Tele-DAD decks.That deck just won and won and won again and again.That's the only reason the limited him.But,i think that Konami is starting to see that Many decks are winning because of him.So,they are just waiting for some Dark Deck  to win the World Championship and poof,there goes Dark Armed.So,i am asking you to discuss,is he on the next train to ban town,or is he going to continue destroying the battle field?

Now,i want you to know one thing,without trying to offend anyone or any deck,Lightwings are not good at all.I tried them out one tournament,managed to win only one duel against a beatdown deck.Now that i have cleared that up,i want to explain what Lightwings are.Lightwing decks are Lightsworns decks mixed with Blackwings.

 I concider the main cards in a Lightwing deck Honest and Kalut,because they protect your lightsworns and your blackwings from incoming attacks,and of course when you attack,but mainly they help you lower your opponent's life points just enough to finish them with Judgment Dragon or Dark Armed Dragon.I thought this when i played the deck,but it did not turn out like i expected.I could not get to pull it off,and now i know one thing that my friend said is true.He said "Blackwings are simply too powerfull to be mixed with other decks" by which i think he meant that Blackwings don't work well with other decks.Now,please discuss this and tell me what you think.

Now i would like to talk to you a little about Lightsworns,and how they always pass the ban list.Now this is a question for Konami,Why are you so much in love with Lightsworns?Now,just to get it clear,i don't hate Lightsworns,i play them,i have played them for over a year,but even i know when it's enough.They released honest on a 6 dollar version,they released charge of the light brigade on a 3 dollar version,same goes for solar recharge and a lot of other cards.And now my friends,we will discuss why.

  Now,over the years there have been many Lightsworns released,and at first when nothing was semi limited or limited,Lightsworns ruled the court.If i remeber correctly,they even won a world championship,but,we all know that they only handled the court with Judgment Dragon and Honest.What happened next?They Semi-Limited Judgment and Blackwings came out.Now Blackwings rule most of the court,but one shonen jump,Lightsworns won again,so that they would give them one more chance.But now,i and many others probably think the same thing,Honest and Charge of the Light Brigade are going Semi-Limited.And i don't blame them,it was too much if you ask me,but of course,you need to discuss it,not me.

Flamevells are a unique archtype that concetrates on Special Summoning as many FIRE-type monsters with 200 DEF or lower.Now what's unique about them is that with more and more of them coming out,they might just become the next thing.Now that starting March 1 Lightsworns are getting screwed(which i am a little sad about even though it was time)and Blackwings are going to have to play with 1 Allure,they didn't even touch Flamevells and their Special Summoning methods are pretty unique.

 By my opinion,Flamevell Firedog is the main card in a Flamevell deck for now,because it let's you Special Summon FIRE monster with 200 or less DEF from your deck to your side of the field,and because all Flamevell monsters have 200 DEF,even the LV6 monsters have 200 DEF,and are easily summoned with his effect.Now what i want you to do is to discuss if the Flamevells can be the next big thing in Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments,or better said if they could be the next Lightsworns.

Now understand,there is nothing there is to pick on in this card's effect,not even to mention when he has the effect to stop effects to be activated when he is normal summoned,nothing can negate his summon,and he cannot be targeted by effects.And why are they picking on him,because he needs three tributes for his summon and two more for his raigeki effect.Who's the big boss now? as some may say.

Junk Synchron-a unique card that many decks use as a staple but some deck reject it.What i want you to do is discuss this unique card and tell me do you find it helpfull or not.

Now,It's effect let's you special summon a LV2 or lower monster from your graveyard to the field in DEF position.Now,the special summoned monster has no effect,but,because this card is a Tuner-Monster card,it makes it easy to synchro summon this card and the special summon card into either a LV4 Synchro monster or more preferably,a LV5 Synchro monster.Now,many players have tried several decks with this card,and the one that impresses me is the Tuningware OTK deck.Now,nobody can say that this card is not a staple in that deck,because it is the 2nd main card in the deck,after Tuningware of course.Now,the deck concetrates on sending as many spell cards to the graveyard to activate magical explosion and deal a lot(and i mean a lot) of effect damage to the opponent.And this card is a staple because it brings Tuningware back from the graveyard.Now,i'm just going to let you discuss it for yourselfs,and i will see the results.
