This is just a post today to communicate with the card players that decide to read this. It’s been a while but I haven’t felt energized enough to post anything, and stress with midterms didn’t help.
First some news (if you aren’t already aware of the news). The Light Pulsar Dragon OTK/FTK no longer exists because the card text changed to say “when” and not “if” so it will miss its timing when tributed with the likes on Cannon Soldier. Here is the website this is viewed: http://www.yuginewz.com/2011/10/lightpulsar-ftk-not-legal-revised-text.html
Second, the second waves of tins are released on Tuesday. This means two things: X-Sabers are Lightsworns/Twilight decks are less expensive, and everyone has access to Warnings and Fossil Dynas. Konami has made it easier for bad players to become good, somewhat. Warning is a card that requires skills and you have to negate the right card or you’re fucked.
Now on to my personal struggles with this card games. First, after not a lot of deliberation I’ve decided I won’t be gathering the cards for the Rescue Rabbit deck. My reasoning isn’t complex: 3 Rabbits + the dinosaur exceed monsters = lots of money. I don’t plan on drastically increasing my card game activities any time soon (hopefully I can when my next semester starts though). Therefore, paying a lot of money for cards I can’t use competitively is a huge waste. I would rather purchase three dark world structure decks (even though I would try and find Dark Smog). I need Tragoedias, Faders and possibly Dark Bribes for my random people I playtest with to use, plus I do get a deck (even if it’s not proven to be the best) and the decks won’t cost half as much as a playset of Rabbits.
Speaking of random people, for those who are unaware I have started to upload duel videos with the two people at my university who play the game: Random Person 1 and Random Person 2 are the newest members of SkillOverLuck (indirectly). They aren’t that experienced with Yu-Gi-Oh but they do play MTG which buffers them slightly. These players lie somewhere between Bobby, and the handful of players who consistently do well when competing in a local tournament (only Belleville players could fully appreciate the value of this statement). Fortunately, I’ve known these guys in the past, and we do get along quite well, so it’s not like these players are complete strangers. However they are serious about wanting to become more skilled. Our agreement was this: These random people help with duel videos, and I help them become better players. I create their decks with my cards and I teach them how to properly utilize the deck in its entirety. Eventually, we will start attending the Ottawa locals and any bigger tournaments that are possible.
That’s all for today. Thanks for reading.
