COTW: Tempest Magician

Bertha — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 23:22:56 GMT

Tempest Magician. LV6 2200/1400 DARK Spellcaster Synchro. "When this card is Synchro Summoned, place 1 Spell Counter on it. Once per turn, you can discard any number of cards to place 1 Spell Counter on a monster(s) you control for each card you discarded. You can remove all Spell Counters on the field to inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each removed Spell Counter." This card is basically a worse version of DSF. Some think it's worse, except I don't. This card can ...

COTW: Armageddon Knight

Bertha — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:22:02 GMT

Here's my article about Armageddon Knight, a friggin beastly card. Basically when it's summoned you get to pitch a DARK monster from your deck to the grave. Summoned means any kind of summoning - meaning Flip, Normal, or Special. So, if you get this little guy with Mystic Tomato, then you can activate his effect. Armageddon Knight's stats aren't, persay, his biggest accomplishment in life. His attack is a mediocre 1400, while his measly 1000 defense would be better off as 0. ...

Earthbound's Immortality

syned — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 07:29:12 GMT

Well I never tought that I'll ever use dragons again. My luck, what can I say. This is a deck based around using the Hardened Armed Dragon +Earthbound Asila Piscu....I call it, Earthbound's Immortality. Some of u already saw it. Use searchers to grab Hardened Armed Dragon, then use field-presence to tribute for indestructable tribute monster. It's pretty easy to special sommon Hardened with his first effect. Earthbound will not be destroyed without a field spell because of Hardened's ...

COTW: DSF [instant fail]

Bertha — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 04:27:45 GMT

^ gtfo of my yugimonz. Banned bi@tch banned! Hardy har har. So I heard you liek burn OTKs? DSF is the card for you! 2600 beater, tribute 1 monster to inflict damage = to level x200. Here's the things it can do, in certain decks. -PSZ + Celestia = DSF pwnage in LS. -Gale / Shura / Bora = DSF in BWs, as does Blizzard + Sirocco. -Summoner Monk + X-saber Airbellum = DSF in synchro cat. It's soooooooo brokeeennn. Here's a list of some of the ...

COTW: Gale.

Bertha — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 04:18:12 GMT

Most broken tuner ever. 1300/400 DARK / Winged-Beast 3star. 3str is good for a tuner, because it can sync with 3s for lv6.. lv 2s for lv5s.. and best of all lv4s for lv7s. lv7 synchros are arguably the best synchros in the game, the most offensively destructive. Such synchros include Black Rose Dragon, Dark Strike Fighter (<---must die), Blackwing Armor Master, and Arcanite Magician. Also, it's a target for Blackwing, Shura the Blue Flame, and can be recycled using dark ...

COTW: There Goes Your Karma!

Bertha — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 02:27:30 GMT

A card known as Karma Cut.. The effect states you must discard one card to remove from play one monster your opponent controls (face-up) and all cards with the same name as the removed monster in your opponent's Graveyard. This card may at first sound like a watered-down version of PWWB or Raigeki Break, but think again. Imagine if you're playing Lightsworns, and they summon a lumina, using lumina's effect to bring out say.. lyla? And, let's just say that they'd already milled their ...

Learn to use gadgets!

Neji Hyuga — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 19:46:02 GMT

This is a very old article so forgive me if there's some noobish stuff =D "Gadgets?Who uses those monsters? The highest attack they have is 1400!"Says the common duelist. What are gadgets? Green gadget: When you Normal Summon or Special Summon this card, you can add 1 "Red Gadget" from your Deck to your hand. Red gadget: When you Normal Summon or Special Summon this card, you can add 1 "Yellow Gadget" from your Deck to your ...

Demise King of Armageddon

Neji Hyuga — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:14:21 GMT

Demise king of Armageddon, freaky name isnt it? Sounds powerfull xD It is! It's one of the best ritual monster there is,probablly the only one people are still using quite honestly. The card as read can deal amazing damage to your opponent(Its like Judgment dragon only instead of 1000 the cost is 2000 ) Demise King of Armageddon: This card can only be ritual summoned with the ritual spell card "End of the world",You can pay 2000 Life Points to destroy all cards on ...

Let Your Pride Shine Bright!

QuisdaDon — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:55:44 GMT

1)Pride Shout Each time a monster with 0 ATK successfully directly attacks your opponent, inflict damage equal to that monster's DEF to your opponent. 2)Pride Shout has no rulings, as it is an ACG card. Pride Shout works most effectively when Skill Drain is on the field. 3)Monsters that are best suited for Pride Shout: Sangan- LVL 3 1000 ATK/600 DEF [Fiend/Effect] When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, select 1 monster with an ATK of 1500 or less ...

COTW: Necro Gardna

Bertha — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 08:23:43 GMT

"Necro Gardna Attrib: Dark Type: Warrior/Effect Level:3 Atk: 600 Def: 1300 Remove from play this card in your Graveyard to negate 1 attack from a monster your opponent controls." This card is commonly seen in todays meta. Wanna know why? Necro Gardna is a very effective control card that works incredibly well in any deck using discards and mills. It's also a solid set, as setting a necro gardna basically leads to stopping 2 attacks (a nice form of stall). It's ...

Another One of Those Deck Article Thangs [YVD]

Bertha — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 06:54:04 GMT

It's 11:30 PM. The YVD Icon in my Windows Explorer is so tempting. As is the link to the word document with all my deck inventions. I'm sure you guys could all use a nice little "tut" about a nice decktype [that can be competitive] in this new TurdBird-filled meta, right? So, here's goes my deck; it's called FyahFightahs. An interesting combination of Stun, Oppression, Volcanics, and Monarchs. Basically, a modified burn volnarchs. Let's go with the list: FyahFightahs 21 [3]Volcanic ...

COTW: Scrap-Iron Scarecrow

Bertha — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 10:18:44 GMT

Scrap-Iron Scarecrow. Let's see what it does! 'Activate only when an opponent's monster declares an attack. Negate the attack, and Set this card face-down again instead of sending it to the Graveyard.' Interesting card. First off don't think it's a permanent wall to stop attacks.. Cuz remember, 'Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" cannot be activated again during the same turn, because it has been Set and Trap Cards cannot be activated in the turn they are set.' So, I think ...

COTW: Thunder King Rai-Oh

Bertha — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 02:40:26 GMT

Thunder King Rai-Oh, otherwise known as Raiou in KCVDS, one of the most game-breaking anti-meta cards in the game. Raiou is widely regarded as a staple in most stun and gadget builds in both the KCVDS meta and the IRL meta. There are many reasons for this.. 1) Stops card advantage from floaters like Sangan and Goblin Zombie through how it limits adding cards to the hand (from the deck) via any way but drawing. 2) Tribute>stop special summon. Good for preventing late-game ...

Want to get that attack through?

Bertha — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 09:27:44 GMT

Let's talk about back-row removal. Back-row meaning Spells and Traps, specifically set Spells and Traps. Most Spells and Traps are there to cause you pain; they will remove your monsters and prevent summons (bth) stop your attacks (mirror force, sakuretsu, widespread, book, e-con) lead to you losing a battle you thought you could win (shrink, mirror wall). So how do you deal with this, specifically in attacking-based decks where one sakuretsu armor can be the difference between winning and losing? Well, ...

Deck Article: Anti-Meta Monarchs

Bertha — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 02:23:03 GMT

What makes decks like Gadgets and Stun so successful in today's KCVDS 1.15 metagame? Maintaining card advantage and running a lot of Spell and Trap support to stop cards like Monarchs. If you take a 'standard' monarch deck and pitch it against a Gadgets build, the monarch deck will most likely lose due to getting BTH'd, Solemn'd, Book'd, and Shrink'd so much. In my opinion monarchs can function much better with good control against opposing spells and traps; so no bth when they're summoned, and ...

COTW: Plaguespreader Zombie

Bertha — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 21:21:02 GMT

Plaguespreader Zombie; not much attack, but there are other reasons its limited. This card is incredibly broken, in my opinion. Works great in so many decks, such as Priest Drain, Rose Warrior, Lightsworns, TeleDaD, and so much else. The effect is that you return one card from your hand to the top of your deck, and it gets special summoned. Why is this good? Well, most decks that get a lot of draw power do at the expense of sending cards from the hand or deck to the graveyard, such ...

Priority - First step to become a pro

Assassin — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 07:49:58 GMT

Priority Many people do not know about this and most of the people who know don�t know the exceptions. After you read this article you will. Let me start with an example. A duelist summons a monster and then sets �Bottomless Trap hole�. His opponent summons �Dark Armed Dragon� and declares priority, in that case even if the duelist activates �Bottomless Trap Hole� in response to �Dark Armed Dragon�s� summon it can use its effect once. If the monster is aimed it�s effect would resolve ...

COTW: Dark Creator

Bertha — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 17:53:28 GMT

Dark Creator. Seems like a hard-to-fill summoning requirement, and doesn't seem to great for pressuring (as far as offense goes). But what is it good for? Comebacks. Say you're playing any deck running a DARK recruiter engine (Tomatoes, Apprentice) and you just got your field blown up by an opposing DaD or some crap like that. But.. oh wait! You have some Darks in your grave! Sangan.. Tomato.. Reaper. ..Tomato.. Don Zaloog! Oh my god! And, say you had a dead monarch in your hand. If you topdeck ...

3 Most powerfull Yugioh combos

syned — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 17:34:22 GMT

Number 1 One of the best combos, which no one really utilize, are the cards Scapegoat , Hayabusa Knight , and United We Stand . First, you summon Hayabusa Knight in face up attack mode. When you have done that, use Scapegoat and equip United We Stand to Hayabusa Knight. Now all you got to do is attack your opponent life points directly two time and you win the game because Hayabusa Knight attack strength has increase by 4000, totaling to a whooping 5000 in attack strength. Number ...

SO MANY DECKS can be based around prisma. here's teh card / eff : So basically, ditch a Fusion material from your deck, and boom Prisma turns into it.

But ...

Card of the Week 5/11

Bertha — Tue, 12 May 2009 04:44:03 GMT

Solemn Judgment. Incredible win. Basically negates Spell, Trap, Monster Normal / Flip / Special Summon, imo "Ultimate" negation. Many people make the common misconception that paying half your LP is too much for anything. Really? Is it? Let's set down several situations, one where someone decided to put in Sakuretsu or Bottomless over Cold Wave, both involving our favorite father and some rulers.. -.- Monarchs: Situation; empty hand, mobius, face down bth and sakuretsu. Opponent ...

Card of the Week 5/4-5/10

Bertha — Wed, 06 May 2009 06:10:00 GMT

Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive A simple flip / draw card. I think it's very effective in many decks. I'll explain why. A): It gets destroyed, you get a card! Unless it's by effect.. it needs to be flipped. But basically if it gets attacked.. yay . B): DARK Attribute, synergy with DAD & Dark Creator. C): Works great with Monarchs. Flip + draw, annihilate back-row, sac for more destruction. D): Respectable stats indeed. Ties w/ Tomato which isn't really what ...

How to Defeat an Experienced Yu Gi Oh Duelist

Anyone taking part in a Yu Gi Oh duel the first few times will likely be overwhelmed by more experienced duelists, even if he thinks he has built the perfect deck. That's because the game is about strategy as much as it is about the cards. Experienced duelists always have a thought-out plan that you'll need to beat--here's how. Read this well because it can surprise you: Step1 Know your opponent and the cards he plays. A good player has a deck of cards that all work together and a basic ...
