Yugioh! TCG Thread

Zombie Masters are around 6-8 each, Goblin Zombies are around 25 each, Il Blud is around 50(though a far cheaper version will be reprinted in September), and DMOC is around 20ish.

And Gemini summoning Il Blud to get the effect is considered your 1 normal summon for the turn. No, it is not a tribute summon.
 
I got a question, do you all play Yugioh as in like, you buy the cards, or is there a online simulator or something? I stopped playing some years ago, but it was cuz of the money some cards cost too much (poor) and someof my friends just stopped playing.

Sorry for the retard question, I'm just curious.
 
well going by ebay Il Blud still goes for about a 100. You might be able to get people to sell them cheaper though but dont expect under $70.

Il Blud is rumored to be reprinted in Gold Edition 2 but dont count on it until its officially released.

Divine Wrath is a great side deck choice for Zombies imo.. Hero's Rule 2 isnt too bad either.

Yugioh Virtual desktop. Look up yugioh virtual desktop 9.0 on google, as long as you have windows. Unfortunately I have mac so I can't use it.


And warthog did you see th t16 for st. louis? Awesome!
 
yeah it was pretty good I must admit but the LS deck Dale played was horrible imo. Where are the Monster Reincarnations or Beckoning Lights? Glad GBs made a great showing here. Its nice to actually be able to afford a deck now that can compete at SJC levels.
 
Yes well since I have been saving for 2 Heraklinos, I am sort of disappointed because his average IRL price is 100 bucks.

And, I thought the Bellido bro's build was sort of shitty. Beckoning gives the deck a much higher win condition.
 
like I said before I totally agree their builds were shitty.

I went to local today and made top 8 but lost to DAD. Locked down by Plasma and then he did a great play with Armageddon Knight dropping DAD then next turn using Herald of Creation to return it back to his hand.

Im actually a bit happy now that ppl are playing better decks at my locals.. 3 other GBs and I was the only one that owned a Heraklinos..lol.

slice, is it really up to 9.0? i looked on xerocreative it it only went up to 8.6. I really wanna look into this, I've been searching for a shoddybattle-like yuigoh game for awhile now.

btw, I looked into making a skill drain macro deck like you said, and its been working out pretty well so far. I still need to get my hands on a few key cards (solemn, d-bribe, burden of the mighty), but I already like the direction its going. If you're interested, I can post my deck list.

Also, I've been looking at two cards lately, nobleman of extermination and cyber archfiend. Maybe I'm wrong, but both these cards look like they have a lot of potential in them. NoE looks like a great way to kill off an entire deck's solemns (granted you aren't also using them), and cyber archfiend looks like an at least decent draw engine. Opinions?
 
fourth grade. i ran this gravity bind deck (back when that thing could actually work) and it frustrated people
last year i actually put together a workable plant deck. 3x fairy king truesdale, 3x des dendle, some other stuff
basically every plant monster that was in the game

it basically raped (irony) everything up and down except for (irony) fiend beatdown which i would some how always lose to
 
I used to play, though don't anymore. I had a quite competitive E-Hero deck that actually won me a few local tournies :p

I stopped playing because I was fed up with the new booster decks, they made it so difficult to get a Holo/Rare card and with only like 30 cards per deck I was bored of buying packs just for the potential holo :x

Skill Drain Macro is pretty good here, but in Japan it is insane. They have 3000 attackers that can be normal summoned with 1900, to be negated by skill drain be a 3000 attacker without tribs. Also you can trib 3 monsters to destory all cards your opp controls(yea extremely broken). It is called beast king barbaros over there. You can try fulsilier dragon, the dual mode beast though.

And extermination is a good side deck card indeed, mainly for dprison/bottomless/solemn players.
 
Bait Doll isn't too bad either, Shane Scurry main decked a copy. With all these Gladiator Beast decks I might try using it too.
 
this is something Im messing around with atm. I dont own Crush Card Virus atm but plan on getting one for regionals in July. Not that I will use this deck at regs but I might as well proxy if if I'm gonna buy it.

and yeah yeah.. its Neo Spacians.. yank right? The reason Im trying this is because they have some hand control developed into the theme, draw support (even if subpar), and big fusion monsters. Plus turning Armageddon Knight into a +1 isn't too bad.

Sakuretsu Armour x2
Mirror Force x1
Torrential Tribute x1

As you can see, it's pretty aggressive.

Also any ideas for a good side deck would be welcome, as he has trouble making a good one.
 
Puggy: Monarchs should use a lineup of 7 tributes: 3 Cauis, 3 Thestalos, 1 Raiza. Jinzo and Mobius are much better off sided for specific matchups(if anything). He needs to run more tribute food as well as 2 soul exchange. I am quite shocked Brain Control is not in there >_> The deck needs a ton of work, in all honesty.
 
Warthog: isn't there a card that lets you draw for every neo-spacian on the field? space gift?
puggy: the deck seems a bit scattered (drillriod, assailant, some others), but there's nothing specifically wrong with it. the monster count is a bit high, but like I said, nothing specifically wrong. As far as side decking goes, has he looked into macro monarchs? I'm biased towards all macro-related decks, but its been working out great for me so far

edit: yea slice is right, brain control should be in there. can't believe I forgot that :/
 
this is a decent deck that might be able to compete against Gladiator Beast and DAD. This is called Oppression Monarchs because well you run three copies of Oppression :P Expect Glad to be atleast 50% of your meta because it is somewhat cheap to make. So the added Jujitsu Masters is to combat it. 3 Soul Exchange is to compensate for no Froggy. Plus everyone is main decking 1-2 Crows nowadays so screw the Frog.

side deck will probably include something like this... gonna be honest this was just thrown together.. you really have to test play to get a good feel on a side deck. I usually add cards that I play a single copy of in the side as well if that one card would be better for that match up. Example being Crow and Jujitsu Master.

Side Deck

1x D.D Crow
1x Legendary Jujitsu Master
2x Kinetic Soldier
2x Lightening Vortex
2x Pulling the Rug
2x Vanity's Fiend
2x Dust Tornado
3x Threatening Roar

3x Caius the Shadow Monarch
3x Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch
1x Raiza the Windstorm Monarch
1x Mobius the Frost Monarch
2x Apprentice Magician
3x Crystal Seer
1x Old Vindictive Magician
2x D.D. Crow
1x Spirit Reaper
1x Sangan
2x Legendary Jujitsu Master

9 Spells
3x Soul Exchange
1x Brain Control
2x Book of Moon
1x Monster Reborn
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Heavy Storm

11 Traps
3x Royal Oppression
3x Solemn Judgment
3x Bottomless Trap Hole
1x Mirror Force
1x Torrential Tribute
1x Trap Dustshoot
1x Dust Tornado
1x Mind Crush

Well, we may not be seeing Macro for a while in the OCG come the release of Zombie World, considering they're going to get this:

Royal Impregnable Fortress / Continuous Trap

While this card is face-up on the field, card(s) cannot be removed from play.
 
Does that mean DAD's effect can't activate? That would be a pretty good card in both formats (if the way it works means Chaos monsters can't be summoned but i'm not sure.)
 
Warthog (or anyone else), three questions:
1) Why do people run one trap dustshoot with one mind crush? Its an awesome combo, but what are the odds of opening with both of them, or even simply drawing into them?
2) You mentioned that everyone runs 3x cauis 3x thestalos x1 raiza, is this really written in stone? You yourself say mobius should be sided, and yet you main him in that deck. I'm asking this because like I've already said, I'm running marco monarchs. Due to my limited resources, I had to get creative. I'm running:
3x cauis
1x mobius
1x dark dust spirit
2x yamata dragon
(got x1 zaborg x1 thesalos available)
which leads into my third,
3) Am I an idiot for attempting high level spirits in macro monarchs? My friends and I don't the most competitive decks in the world, but a successful hit from yamata usually nets me the game.
