Picking up on the subtleties (part 1)

Everyone has habits.  Some of us have good ones, others have bad ones.  One of the habits you should take a closer look at is shuffling.  Yu-Gi-Oh players can be very careless when they are dueling especially when it comes to shuffling.  Some shuffle their cards facing their opponent and give away very vital information about what is in their deck, hand, and field.  Take a look at this picture for example.

This person special summoned Laquari.  He has 3 cards in his hand and a Book of Moon, Monster Reborn, and a Laquari in his graveyard.  As he shuffles, he reveals to you that he doesn’t have Starlight Road and Mirror Force in his hand.  He also revealed that he had 2 Dimensional Prison in his deck as he shuffled and you might of caught a glimpse of a War Chariot.  At this point, you determine what kind of situation you are in and strategize accordingly to capitalize.  Now take a look at the next picture.

Same scenario only this time he is shuffling his deck the appropriate way, card faces facing down away from you so not to reveal any cards and you can only guess what he has in his hand.  At this point you can only play it out.  Information can be game breaking in close games so watch your habits or else they'll lose you games!

The essence of understanding in Yu-Gi-Oh! comes when you start to understand how everything interacts with one another.  Once you grasp the concept, you'll be better equipped to win.  So don't give up.  Keep learning.  Keep dueling.

Deck Combos: Infernities 1.5

With Infernity Launcher at 1 the deck lost steam when it was initially but the release of new generic support and some upcoming cards has allowed the deck to pick up where it left off.  The main focus of the deck is to special summon Infernity Archfiend by its effect, with Infernity Necromancer, Infernity Mirage, and/or anything that can special summon it while you have no cards in your hand to spam synchros and load your spell/trap zone with Infernity Launcher, Infernity Barrier(s) or Infernity Break(s), whichever card(s) that befit the game state.

Hundred Eyes Dragon
With the appropriate setup, Hundred Eyes Dragon can completely shut out your opponent’s moves.  Hundred Eye’s effect lets you reuse the effects of Infernity Mirage or Infernity Necromancer, if need be.  And repeat the spamming.

Mist Wurm and Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
These two cards are greath whether you're up or down.  They help deal with opponents board and seal off any attempt of a comeback.  A well timed Trishula and Mist Wurm is a guaranteed win.

Infernity Launcher
Infernity's version of Monster Reborn.  Special summon 2 Infernity monsters from the graveyard while you have no cards in your hand and just in case you have a an Infernity monster in your hand you can’t seem to get rid of Launcher says its okay ditch it.  Problem solved.

Leviair the Sea Dragon
Leviair, Leviair, Leviair, what can I say that its effect hasn't already told you.  This card bring a whole new meaning to hey, I'm going to win this turn unless you stop me.  This card lets you reuse any of these removed from play any level 4 or lower monsters you or your opponent have.  Being able to reuse Mirage is exteremely important not only would you continue to gain advantange for nothing!  Your opponent will probably concede if he can't stop your Leviair push.

Tour Guide
I personally don't run this card but Tour Guide isn't a card to sneeze at.  It helps thin out the deck and allows you to push for aggressively with Exceed monsters.  Leviair is a one turn combo with Tour Guide so keep that in mind when you play with the deck.

All in all, Infernities are a solid deck.  So try it out, you might like what you see!
