Reflecting on Broken Stuff

This past weekend, I played Wind-Ups and my Locals and went undefeated, 2-0ing Karakuri Geargia Macro, Dark Worlds, Inzektors, Hunders, and I won 2-1 against Raymond and his Fire Kings (Curse you double Rekindling...). The reason I performed well because I kept opening with good hands, where most hands led to Shock Master turn 1 or 2, and then an explosion next turn to win.

It's a frightening thought when you realize that you will be completely destroy by your opponent's cards sometimes, and you have no significant control of the game at all. I was that destroyer on multiple occasions with Wind-Ups, and sometimes I am the destroyed one. I like to have some form of control in everything I do, and when my control disappears, things only go downhill.

Mermails is another deck that can destroy you with minimal effort. I've gotten first-hand experience of being a destroyer with the deck, since I recently completed the deck. You can still win if you open with double Genex Controller, even though the Controllers are a liability. If you don't open double Controller, though, then Genex Undine becomes broken. Atlantean Dragoons, Moulinglacia and Abyssmegalo are also broken cards in certain circumstances. I have yet to lose a game where I opened with at least 3 of these cards...

Lavals, Fire Fists and Fire Kings are next on the broken deck list; mostly because of Rekindling (Super Monster Reborn you can play 3 of...). Seriously, you can win if you make the most of a single Rekindling, or 2 or 3... Fire Kings will become more broken in the TCG when Fire King Yaksha is released. Fire Fists are capable of gaining a lot of advantage, which is a little overpowered. The deck is kinda balanced, though, because you have to show your opponent a lot of your cards. Lavals will become quite powerful with the imminent release of Hidden Arsenal 7...

That's all my reflecting on today's post. There is a lot more broken stuff in Yu-Gi-Oh, but I just listed the topics that were floating around in my mind.
