The Blog Reborn!

Mario here!

It's been a long time since anything has been posted here and I am pleased to say that I (and Jon i think) will be continuing this long-lost blog!

Originally when Jon and I first started this our Yu-Gi-Oh contact pool was not as large as it is today. I've socialized with my local Yu-Gi-Oh community and this resulted in more contacts, acquaintances and friends. Hopefully this blog will attract a greater number of views since knowledge of this game has only increased since the posts stopped.

Basically the blog will contain many of the types of posts that were written before such as decklists, tournament reports, tech ideas, etc. Along with those, posts filled with theory and analysis about the metagame and format will be included as well: I like commenting on the shining pinnacles of the metagame and ranting about bullshit in this metagame...

Personally i prefer writing over creating a youtube video because I'm confident i can express my thoughts better in thorough writing. I'm an intelligent person (smartest in my class actually) and when i choose to concentrate on writing it's obvious. In a youtube video i often hesitate with my speech because i struggle with on-the-spot presentations. With writing though I can create a spiritual center of peace where i can concentrate on my work and create outstanding written work that everyone can understand. I will still post the usual youtube videos though because youtube does increase that Yu-Gi-Oh contact pool a little amount at a time.

Now without further ado it's time to talk about some tech. (This wouldn't be a good post if i didn't directly speak to something about this wonderful card game.) On my very first post i mentioned the possible uses of the card called Starlight Road. I read the blog this morning and i was convinced to main-deck Starlight Road in playtesting and see what progress it would make.

First a little backstory. My cousin came to visit my family and I from Toronto today. Him and I played a match and I would've recorded it but my fucking camera was dead. Anyway i played Plant Tengu Synchro and he played X-Sabers. Fitting in my Starlight Road we proceeded to duel.

2-1 for me

Game 1: I went first. I set a Ryko, Limit reverse, MST and Starlight road. He summoned Boggart Knight and special summoned Passhul. He synchro summoned Hyunley and attempted to destroy my backrow. Starlight Road stopped him!!! I won a few turns later.

Game 2: My cousin started by setting a monster and 3 backrow. I followed with a hand containing Reborn Tengu, Lyla, Sangan, Dark Hole and 2 Pot of Avarice. I summoned Tengu and attacked his face down Darksoul. I ended and he searched for Passhul. He drew for his turn and played Boggart Knight which special summoned Passhul. He then special summoned Faultroll. Basically he beat me that turn with 3 face down Gottoms Emergency Call at his assistance.

Game 3: I won it fast because i drew awesome and he drew shitty. I didn't get to use Starlight Road though.

Anyway, Starlight Road definitely helped that one game and I'm determined to continue playtesting with it for the time being.

That's all for my first post in a long time. Hopefully more posts will quickly follow. There is a lot to write about this format...
