News Fridays

As far as news goes, Rabbit is still dominating.  Epic Dawn comes out at the end of the month so if you or your store hasn't ordered it, tell them to pick up the phone and call or email Konami your questions. Expect the secondary market to fluctuate a little bit and see a dip on card prices across the board. Nationals is coming up so take the time to play test, plan, and schedule your trips.  This year is our year!!!!

Procrastination

I don't know why I have been so reluctant to post anything on the blog when there is so much to talk about. There hasn't been a dull moment in the past few weeks and the activity levels in the Yu-Gi-Oh world are at an all time high. Last weekend I judged in Fort Worth Dallas with David and his Epik crew and I had a pretty awesome time. Learned a lot of new things, met a lot of old and new faces, and got to travel up with some friends that I don't get to see very often. I noticed that Dragons are picking up a lot of popularity but so is Chain Burn. Many people may complain about how the meta has shaped up but I think its pretty amazing. Michael argues that its a Paper, Scissor, Rock format going into the summer and to some extent I agree but that doesn't do decks like Dark World justice. I'm getting my game on right now and picked mostly everything for Rabbit, messing around with an idea me and Justin threw around and the initial testing is very promising.  Rabbit struggles with decks that put up monsters stronger that 2500 attack so these changes alleviate some not all of the pressure. I still have a soft spot for Infernity so I'm still going to be tinkering with the build I have. Totally forgot to talk about the my regional report from two weeks ago. I dropped after round 6 when I was handed my 3 loss of the day, there's only so much you can do when you draw 2 Kabas, 2 Sabers, Mystical Space typhoon, and Pot of Avarice against Inzektors. The regional was at Gamelot and to my surprise, the showing there was very small. I had a fun time regardless and learned a lot about Rabbit with all the matchups I had all day.

Card Review

I figured I wo review a random card today.  Tardy Orc is a fun card, I not sure if this is Konami's way of mocking MTG or its player base but one thing is for sure.  This card is awful.  Is it playable?  Yes. Is it worth it? No. Don't get me wrong in the right circumstances this card can be good, but with the pace of the game right now, it can't hold up.

The Team Misplay grade:C-

Card Review

Even with its decrease in play Maxx "C" is still a game changer.  All the tier 1 decks out there special summon, some more than others but whatever the case they do.  Even if in some situations the card is a one for one at best against the match it is terrible in one for one is beter than nothing.  Not to mention how good it is against all the decks that special summon quite frequently like Dino Rabbit Leviair plays, Wind-ups, and Inzektors.  The card will see a lot more play when Hieratics are released so don't get rid of them just yet!!!!

So...

So a lot of things are going to be changing in my schedule soon, so I will try my best to keep posting consistently. This weekend I went to San Antonio for regionals and went X-3 after round 7 so I dropped because my goal was to top 8 and my build disappointed me.  Details will come during the week.
