Moving forward...

Let's take a moment to reflect.  We've seen the Konami do a lot of things for the game, both good and bad. We've seen the evolution of Yu-Gi-Oh many times. First with the introduction of Fusion monsters, then Synchro monsters, and now Exceed monsters. Soon Battle Packs will be released to promote a new aspect to the game as well as the introduction to Galactic Overlord.  The banlist phased out Plants, T.G.s, Agents, and all their variants to make room for Inzektors, Dino Rabbit, and Wind-Ups. It is time to adapt and take charge by looking forward and preparing for whats to come.


p.s.

We now have a Tumblr account, http://www.tumblr.com/blog/teammisplay! It will be used for anything and everything Yu-Gi-Oh related by the team! The regular blog schedule will continue.

Phases

Calling out phases in games is a great tool to use to get reads on your opponents and reduce your margin of error significantly. Your opponent, believe it our not, responds to interaction. By naming phases, you condition your opponent to associate each phase with a reaction that will divulge information about the game state. Understanding the phase interactions plays an important role in your perception development and bring your game to the next level.

Just play

For those of you that did not know, 16-year-old Georgia native Marquis Henderson BEASTED, literally, on all the competition with T.G. Stun this past weekend in Y.C.S. Atlanta. Henderson main decked Skill Drain and Beast King supported by Horn of the Phantom Beast. He effectively used his floaters, Tengu, Rush Rhino,etc., to thin out his deck and win without Maxx "C"s or Effect Veilers in a dominant Rabbit, Wind-up, and Inzektor tournament. After a rough start Henderson proved once and for all that the META doesn't dictate the outcome, the PLAYER does. Congratulations Marquis Henderson!
