whats wrong with raiza, it doesnt look that powerful.
Raiza is basically a time shifting card. It makes you repeat you're god damn draw phaze when they return you're card to the top of you're deck. If it was face up, they know what you are going to do, and can play accordingly. It is also a 1 for 1(1 for you're tribute, 1 for taking one card off opponent's field) which is always good. A very broken card indeed.
 
its more than 1 for 1, its almost 2 for 1 but not quite. you remove a card from their field and they essentially miss a draw phase. in terms of advantage i guess you'd call it a +1.5
 
ok, anyone who wants to play yvd with me get on irc and try to get stuff going. im using my irl deck (which completely sucks:D). ill make a better deck later.
 
go to gameking.hudzilla.org

an even better simulator and requires no ips. However, it only works with fire fox and internet explorer, as well as a few other browsers.
 
I've decided to go against a Gladiator Beast Deck (for now). I have an idea of what I'm going to do, but it will it's going to be a while until it will get off the ground.
 
dragon ice is such a weird card, i really dont understand it

like what you play it when they drop their cyber dragon? they then raiza your monster and run over the dragon ice, it doesnt make any sense
 
other than blocking Cyber Dragon, it also can be used offensively too. In this meta we don't see too many Mystic Tomato or Apprentice but Dragon Ice can be special summoned by those means too.

Ill probably end of selling or trading it in the future though. For once I actually need some trade bait to get the stuff I want at the Sneak Preview.
 
So who is attending the Sneak Preview this weekend for Phantom of Darkness? Ever since Goblin Zombie, Zoma and Curse of the Vampire were said to be in this set I have to make it there. Although it hasnt been said what Goblin Zombie and Curse of the Vampires rarities are yet at least we know Zoma is stated to be a Super Rare. Yes.

but some bad news, they made the Dark Creator and Dark Armored Dragon both Secret rares, which is horrible imo. I was planning on building a deck around it for the Sneak but that is out of the reach.

some more good news though, but still a Secret Rare, Allure of Darkness is coming out. It allows you to draw two cards but you must discard/remove (forget which) a Dark monster from your hand or you must discard your entire hand the the grave. Godly.
 
Advice time once again.

I'm wondering if it would be a wise move to buy Rise of the Dragon Lords? To me it seems to have great cards exclusive to the stucture deck.
 
That's your decision cubed. I can't make that for you.

And allure of darkness isn't even confirmed.
Wait two days, I think the text will change, if it's even real.
it may not be.

edit: text changed
it's now common charity for dark monsters
 
went the sneak preview and this is what I got:

1x Goblin Zombie
1x Rainbow Neos (Ghost)
1x Superancient Seaking(?)
1x Drastic Drop Off (Green Gadget got owned!)
2x Escape from the Different Dimension
3x Unity of the Six Samurai

that wraps it up although I did get some more stuff but nothing else too intersting

oh and Blue Thunder T45>Hydrogeddon. worked well in my Gadgets that I played.

oh and Allure of Darkness was confirmed. Pretty neat card, wish I could of got a few. My brother and I are trying to make a Strike Ninja deck. Not that is too surprising with this set, so many new dark cards to choose from.
 
Straight Strike Ninja beatdown with RFTDD or RFG mix-up with DD scouts?



Also, anyone up for a game of YVD (Yugioh Virtual Desktop), PM me etc.
 
The new awesome card besides dark armed dragon is that Blue Thunder thing.

1700/1200(I believe 1200 def)- 4 stars
Light

When this destroys a monster as a result of battle, create a token with 1500/1500. This token cannot be tributed.

Yes, it works when you kill scapegoats, and even works under macro/ dfissure situations.
 
Phantom Darkness looks good. Too bad there are zero to none sneak previews in Australia.

Also, Slice n Dice, get rid of Il Blud. The thing creeps me out.
 
Excuse me, but Hydrogeddon to Blue Thunder is apples to oranges.

Blue Thunder is a 1700 that makes 1500's.
Hydrogeddon is a 1600 that makes 1600's.

Blue Thunder can be used by itself.
Hydrogeddon cannot.

Hydrogeddon thins out your deck.
Blue Thunder cannot.

Blue Thunder can create a potentially infinite amount of tokens.
Hydrogeddon can create three in one turn.

Blue Thunder gets a very wide selection of machine support.
Hydrogeddon gets a very wide selection of water support.

I use Umiruka in my water deck (+500 attack, -400 def), meaning hydrogeddon can slam cyber dragons and gravekeepers and tons of other monsters it normally cannot as a 2100, then it can be used as tributes or beatstick swarms.

Not to mention hydrogeddon rapes apprentice magicians trying to morph into old vindictive, whereas blue thunder does not. And Blue Thunder with luminous spark cannot beat a cyber dragon like hydrogeddon can.
 
nobody uses Field Spells that raise attack unless they have some other sort of secondary effect so that argument isnt to viable. Everything else though you pointed out is correct. Hydrogeddon is better off in some situations such as hitting a major swarm attacking a Tomato or an Apprentice Magician until Old Vinny says come back and smacks the next Hydro.

Another good point is that Hydro can be sacrificed while the token from Blue Thunder can not.

I had the same argument with a few people the other day and most people voted Blue Thunder in their favor because drawing extra Hydros is horrible.
 
well it was basically referencing what I do in my deck, not a valid reason why hydrogeddon is better. He can still function well without it and does so on many an occasion. Especially since I run spiritual water art - aoi which lets me pass my turn, let them draw, tribute one of three to see their hand and zap any card in their hand that I feel will give them an advantage.

It actually works really well, most people don't understand it. My deck is really a very effective mix of attack and defense, and it is very fun to play.
 
hydro combos with avarice better as well

1700 vs 1600 is essentially a non-issue too as nobody uses asura priest or anything like that so the only difference is the ability to run over a used breaker

even used breaker is 1600, you lose a hydro but you get one more so it's still not terrible

and with breaker limited one you usually won't see him
it's more likely you'll fight tomatos
or ufo turtles now that plant is trying to make a meta

woo!

GO PLANTS
 
if Hydro kills a monster with equal attack you wont get to special summon another one. Hydro has to be on the field in order for its effect to activate, so its the same thing if Hydro runs into a Night Assailant.

oh and it can run over another mention worthy 1600 beater.. Banisher.
