I'm alive

I'm back people, no haven't died and yes I'm carrying on.

There has been alot of things ni my life lately and I just haven't had the time for Yu-Gi-Oh. I'm starting to working things out and found that I've got just a little bit of time each week and that will be spent build my Yu-Gi-Oh stuff back up. I'm going to start a more personal blog about Yu-Gi-Oh more than telling everyone new on the game, it's to much and their's to many poeple already doing that. Look out for my new blog soon.

Put to a hold or slowed down?

Unfortunately I'm going to either stop doing blogs about Yu-Gi-Oh or the blogs I will post are going to be rare, this is because I'm at college and I have money problem as many people these days are. I'm no quitting Yu-Gi-Oh completely, I still have my decks and I will start playing again in the futrue when I have more time and money, when that will be I don't know because other things and people in my life will take priority over Yu-Gi-Oh.

I'm not selling any stuff because I still want to play the game and enjoy playing but just don't have the time or money for such a hobbie right now. Later this year or next year I will post if I ever will post or play the game again.

For people what want to contact me I have accounts on yugiohcardmaker, pojo, youtube and loads of others, just message me.

The ban list

Ok guys it's blog time again and this time I'm going to talk about the new ban list. This years ban list is quite... odd and I will explain why.

Let's start off with the cards in order.

BANNED

DARK STRIKE FIGHTER
Understandable, it's blackwing build and been getting to high in the meta, i kinda saw this coming.

CARD OF SAFE RETURN
Once again understandable because of all the zombie deck that can abuse this card but I felt leaving it at one was safe.

MONSTER REBORN
Revival power over both graveyards, why did they bring it back anyways?

CRUSH CARD VIRUS
Once again abused to easily these days.

LIMITED

BLACKWING - GALE THE WHIRLWIND
It's messing with me meta, simple.

MIND MASTER
I don't understand this one as all, psychic's are already useless, now they are completely useless.

RESCUE CAT
I saw this one coming for a long time now, not surprised.

SUMMONER MONK
Same as above.

BLACK ROSE DRAGON
This one toke me by surprise, why? I don't understand at all, plant deck's ain't that high in the meta and most people don't like clearing fields with nothing to defend them with.

DEMISE, KING OF ARMAGEDDON
Stranger and stranger... why again? it's not like this guy has seen the meta for a long time and now he never will.

COLD WAVE
Oh god I hate this card, thank god it's at one, it's to annoying to be at three or even two. I see lightsworn failing a bit more.

MIND CONTROL
Syncros, easy to abuse, nothing to see here.

ONE FOR ONE
Now this is random... who made this ban list? I have nothing for it...

CALL OF THE HAUNTED
Every format needs a revival card and we have this one, It's an attempt at slowing the game down but this can be used in you opponents turn, I guess we will have to see.

SOLEMN JUDGMENT
Yes, I'm am so happy that this card is at one. People always say "It's not broken, It's not broken" well for a card that seem to fit in almost EVERY DECK I'd say that comes pretty close...

SEMI-LIMITED

CHAOS SORCERER
I can't see this card being used in any meta deck any time soon but we will have to see.

LONEFIRE BLOSSOM
I remember when plants were nothing and people said that type will never see that meta... this proves that plants are head for the meta.

MEZUKI
With card of safe return gone it seem only fair that he comes back.

BOTTOMLESS TRAP HOLE
An awesome card in an awesome format.... Kinda saw it coming...

Unlisted

BREAKER THE MAGICAL WARRIOR
At three... what the hell, he normally get's banned... I'm interested to see how this plays out in the future

D. D. WARRIOR LADY
RAIZA THE STORM MONARCH
DESTINY DRAW
the rest

Same as above

This years ban list has proved quite... different from what I'm use to but I am interested to see what decks take the meta in the format which seems like a very slow one.

Ancient Prophecy Sneak Peek

Sorry guys, I haven't updated for a while but that's mainly because I really have had no time to post but don't worry I'm back with more to talk about.

I'm slowly getting back into the game and I thought a good start would be with a Sneak Peek, Ancient Prophecy is coming out soon so it would be a good way to get back into the game, seeing some of the new cards coming out and since it's such a big event, I get to talk to loads of people about the meta.

I came 14th out of something like 36 which isn't bad but it's not good, the last sneak peek I went to I won the whole thing.

Something funny did happen, On the 2ed round I won but my opponent ticked for me to drop out of the tournament by mistake and because of the tournament system they were unable to enter me back in. It toke them half an hour but thankfully they managed to fix it and I was reentered.

Well that's it for now guys, sorry about the late post but I've been very busy lately. Next I will be talking about the new ban list and how odd it is.

The Saturday Club: Getting back into the game

Last Saturday I went to my local club, bearing in mind I haven't been for a while, and just made it in time to enter the tournament, I woke up late because I was up until 4 in the morning the previous night doing... nevermind. Anyhow it was a while since I have played in a real tournament and the only deck I had on me was my trusted plant deck, my main.

In swish I won everyone duel, to my surprise, and was then entered into the top 8. I was quite pleased with myself, I mean I hadn't played a real competitive game for over 8 months. In was about to win the first match but one card stopped me... Dark Armed Dragon... Fuck... I had a nice set up and was pushing for game but before I knew it DAD hit the field and nuked my setup and being the 3th round there was no way I could have turned the tables. I lose but I still got into the top 8 and still got a pack for getting that far. I'm quite proud for getting as far as I did.

This make me question the power of DAD... It's already limited to one for the reason that decks are able to abuse it easily but it's still being abused. I don't know, I haven't being checking the bloody meta out for ages.

Also in other note, I have a Yu-Gi-Oh team now called Team Gemini.
