As everyone probably noticed, Light of Destruction has been out for a week and I'm so busy working, so didn't really have much time to update. I didn't have much time to analyze the cards closely but I'm just gonna write out some notable and fun cards =D
[Honest]
We all know how strong this is! Using this during the opponent battle phase can result in cool stuff.
Combine with Vic Viper XX03 (yes that supposedly shit card) for huge tokens!
[Lightlord Beast Wolf]
DS' wet dream! Possible summoning through Reasoning, Monster Gate because it is a compulsory effect, so will not miss timing. Probably one of the reasons why Foolish Burial got restricted together with Cyber Dragon lol.
Cyber Dragon + Foolish Burial = Big gay high level
Cyber Dragon + Foolish Burial + Normal Summon + something something = OTK probably
Yeah, maybe some people at Konami are as imaginative as me lol
[Psycho Returner]
More Foolish Burial combos. Apparently is an optional effect so lol@DS! Don't come and bother me every night about your watever gay combos ok!!
[Judgement Dragon]
Easy to summon and strong effect. Yum yum!
[Disk Rider]
Konami act cute, pun of Disk Raida decks. Pretty strong too, remove a normal trap to become a 2200, dead cydra yo.
[Spacia Gift]/[Cross Porter]
More bug spotted. Hello hello to cards with the letter "N"! (I'm not talking about Neo Spacian)
X.E.N.O
The splendid VENUS
The big SATURN
Arcana Force XVIII - THE MOON
Arcane Force I - THE MAGICIAN
Arcana Force XVI - THE TEMPERANCE
lol =D
[Limit Rebirth]
Imbalance all out! And you thought no more Call of the Haunted equals no more Disk Guy abuse. Now you have to play with 3 of these.
Some other notable monster to special summon would be Visor Shock, summon and bounce all the set cards during end phase hoho.
On the Lightlords theme. Anyone care to test it out? It feels like big sized monster beatdown and faster rape your opponent before you ran out of deck (of course there are 3 Avarice but well, shit happens)
For curious people about ruling and stuff, I'm lazy and have no time to cater to your needs. So please self service as I have linked the >> Wiki here <<

More info on fun stuff~
Hello again pplez.... Got abit of spare time again, so kinda just checked around for info. New bits of info coming out, which all seems rather interesting, so you may wanna check them out. As followz.......
1. New anime! - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh%21_5D%27S
After GX, comes a new anime, called Yu Gi Oh 5Ds. New characters all together. Set in the same town of Yugi Mutou, but a good couple of decades later. Duels are now played on motorcycles, where they call them Riding Duels. Dun ask me how that works out... Main character wise, is Yusei Fudou, with his key card being the upcoming pack spoiler card, namely Stardust Dragon. For once, we are apparently getting a "COOL" character. As compared to the first being a wimp, and the second being half an idiot, LOL. But if you ask me... The design of the characters seem abit crappy. From the description which I see, save for the small kids, the other 3 seem to be going down the cool line if you ask me... There are some links below for some picures of the characters and the various seiyuu, so you may wanna see that. Anyway, this one first starts showing on 2nd April night so thats still abit of time away. With some luck by 3rd morning we may get to see it on youtube or something.
2. More details on duel terminal! - http://www.konami.jp/th/yugioh_5ds/terminal.html#link
As compared to what Darius was telling me (Its a gashapon machine means there is just a mini game, but mainly just to get special cards, shouldnt have much duels or anything) It seems I may be more accurate. There is even a screenshot here of the gameplay, but dun ask me why there is only 3 monster and 3 m/t zones. Looks quite cool? I dun know, kinda reminds me of ps2 graphics for the 3d bit of BEWD. (LOL, the top of the machine shows all 3 main characters on top)
3. Small impt info on gameplay - http://www.konami.jp/th/yugioh_5ds/master.html#link
This page shows typically the similar stuff mentioned earlier, about sac summon change to being called advance summon, etc, so refer back to my old post. The ONLY main important info i would like to note here, I would like to point you guys to the numbers. Main deck size is now 40 - 60 deck size. Side deck is also no longer strictly 0 or 15 deck size now, but any amount from 0 to 15 instead. The most important one to point out? Same rule goes for the fusion pile. You can only have 0 up to maximum of 15 in any tourney. Well, helps judges from having to see 1 giant pile of fusion piles for sure. And for fusion related piles, time to start thinking which ones do they want to bring
4. Starter deck 2008 info - http://www.konami.jp/th/yu_gi/starterdeck2008/index.html
Nothing really new mentioned here. Just that it will be 40 common cards, 1 ultra, and 2 super rare cards. Your ultra card will be Junk Warrior, effect as per previous post. White card with gold text looks quite cool actually now that I see it. Guess as compared to being a starter deck, I would rather think this is more like a Yusei Fudou character deck. Not that it really matters. The first deck with the new 5Ds symbol as well, but no background or anything on the box, so thats bit boring. Oh well....
Anywayz, thats about it for now. Do go look at the sites, I had alot of fun scanning through them myself. Weee, time to plan new violent deck, LOL

Worst banlist ever!
Ok maybe not the worst, but it's really bad. I've read a lot of different opinions but yah I think the konami banlist department is really screwed up. Lets start with the banned list.
Banned:
Magician of Faith
Magical Warrior - Breaker
Call of the Haunted
Yes I would start with the banned list cos it's the most important in the list in my opinion.
The cards above are not worth to be banned at all. Some say because Monster reborn is out so Magician of Faith has to go in, so if there was no Monster Reborn, it wouldn't be in here right? Then some say its the 3 apprentice magician so st mag is easily searchable. So what if you can search it, theres no nice magic to take, but wait! It's Monster Reborn's fault again!
Breaker is weak, half the time it met bottomless traphole which people put to eat Dark Armed Dragon and whatever cool big monster people put in their deck.
Call of the haunted, another weird card to go in. Yes 3 Jinzo but cmon, who doesn't put DD crow in their deck (side included). If you don't put DD crow in your deck or side then yes I can safely say you have issues with your deck building. I am not kidding. Yes, arguments are welcome.
Restricted to 1:
Wind Emperor Raiza
Advanced Ritual Art
Monster Reborn
Nobleman of Crossout
Ojyama Trio
Restriction of Crossout is also dumb, might as well just unrestrict. Ojyama Trio is unexpected but then again, I think its because of Summon Limit trap thing that causes OTK. And I guess it was an easy kill thing that raises the flag in the konami department.
No comments on Monster reborn, its the root of this screwed up banlist.
Restricted to 2:
Cyber Dragon
Necroface
Light And Darkness Dragon
Foolish Burial
Book of Moon
Mage Power
Magic Stone Excavation
Say "Yeah!" to LADD and Necroface!
The rest are just weird...
Released from restriction
Gadgets
Android Psycho Shocker
Apprentice Magician
Creature Swap
Pot of Avarice
Reckless Greed
Hello again to gadgets. At least you can now use your 3 shockers to maybe owns them as there are least Cyber Dragons. Hi gadget players, are you despo enough to put in proto! The rest is pretty much fine.
Conclusion: I blame Monster Reborn. Some sick dude must've suggested
"Hey we ran out of cards to release of banlist, how ah?"
"Chaos series and yata is too gay! hmmm...."
"I know! Monster Reborn is cool! Yugi uses it all the time to pwn his opponents!"
"Oh my god that is so true! I can now reborn my Blue Eyes White Dragon woot!"
*Prints banlist*
"SHIT! WE FORGOT TO BAN MOBC!"

Banlist thoughts and ideas!
Helloz people, know most of you guys havent seen me in 2 weeks now, way too busy due to work. Me and baha saw the new ban list yesterday and he was due to do this post cause i was too busy. Well, its the next day, no post from him, and I am free for an hour right now so I guess I will do it then.
First and foremost, for people who like me form a deck looking at the full list, the link is here... http://shriek.twoday.net/stories/4714835
If you just want to see the updates though, the link is here...

Banned
Magician Of Faith
- Not really being used recently anywhere from what I see. More beatdown recently, and people rather concentrate on monsters recently due to dark arm and creator. But since book of moon is now at 2, I guess it works out?
Breaker
- Well, thats 1 staple dark monster for everyone gone, and with apprentice back at 3 (Not sure if apprentice makes any diff anyway), more replacements for m/t destruction will have to be found for the beatdowners. Not that majorly big change if you ask me though
Cry of living dead
- With monster reborn back, seems like a logical choice? Not that I would support the idea, but they should actually put in early burial instead of cry of living dead. This only allows for magic recursion to start up, but guess we gonna live with it for 6 months. Meanwhile, no more end phase airman for cyclone, end phase disk guy, etc etc, whatever you can think of.
Restrict
Raiza
- Finally, this card is in! Lockdown is not good, especially when you have a 2400 atk monster on opp field breathing down your neck. Guess Konami finally figured that out. At least all the other monarchs just helps create an advantage, but does nothing to lock the opponent down. Even Gaius 1k dmg bit is nowhere close to being as strong as this card, even though it can also take down any 1 card on the field.
Advanced Ritual
- No more demise deck for awhile i belive. Not that it was thriving anyway, but at least it is still a rather fun deck. But then again, allows you to fill up grave for creator, dark arm, etc, so... I would say 2 would be fine actually, imo.
Monster reborn
- Woohoo! Game changing yes, but at least it would probably speed up plays alot. A gd point to note that even though it make emobc decks stronger true, but just imagine if the opponent draws the reborn earlier then you. Yes, you have your ddr and all, but still, its on the opponent side, and you have to find a way to kill it before you can do anything. Not to mention if he takes back reborn, den gets out disk guy too. Talk about a sudden 1 for 4 cards. (Dun tell me how low the chance may be, remember, reborn takes both graves, you sure its THAT hard?) Anyway, I guess that adds 1 staple into EVERYONE's deck. Other then alternate win conditions decks prob.
Nobleman of Crossout
- Hmmm, i see this one, then book of moon to 2, always makes me remember famous jeff's, protecting his mystic level 2 by covering a book of moon. LOL. Anyway, not very important, theres shield crush, and with all the recent beatdown trends, it always just had mainly side deck status to begin with.
Ojyama Trio
- Well, that deals a blow to the dying deck of the chain burn. No more 2k damage with 1 trap card. But as said, this deck was never popular ever since the last ban list, so.... NEXT
Semi Restrict
Cydra
- Nuuuuuuuuuuu..... Oh wellz, the main issue would be I will probably have to cut down on power bond decks for awhile, LOL. But in a sense good for me also. Less worry about having to see chimeratech fortress killing my field, plus I usually function on 2 for non powerbond decks anyway. So not as major a blow to me as people would think.
Necroface
- LOL, no more otk deck out decks for the time being I would guess. This majorly kills off that deck by quite abit. And save for the otk deck out, it never had much play in anywhere else anyway, so I believe it was just to prevent that 1 particular deck. Shucks for Banana
LADD
- Hmmm, only semi? But well, thats 1 lesser dragon to kill, and that much harder to draw it, so no major complains i guess. This just pushes more people towards playing dark beatdown anyway.
Foolish burial
- Only 1 word to describe this restriction. LOL???? Did anyone play 3 in the first place? And if yes, how many???
Book of Moon
- Jeff loves this I guess. And it does help to shut down the almighty DAD (dark arm), so why not. It gives me headaches as an otk player, but still a pretty good call to put it to 2 i believe. Esp with saint mag not around. Jeff you gonna play back mystic level 2? LOL
Power of mage
- Ah..... Should have been out 3 years ago? Not much point lah. LIMIT BREAK IS BETTER!!!!
Magic Shard Excavation
- Woohoo, limit break * 3 time liaoz. LOL. As if i have so much of a hand size. But anywayz. This is not bad, at least wont have to headache over having magic to throw. Not much people plays this card anyway other then for alt win decks. Except for me of course, LOL. But then, even I would have to think if I will play 2 as I have been happy with 1 for awhile so... We shall see. (Maybe keep taking back FF for even more AGUG? LOL.)
Unrestricted
Gadgets
- Seriously, not much point in putting it at 2, might as well leave it out lor, ban list so long i print 3 pages leh.
Psycho Shocker
- Well, since at 2 didnt make a diff, might as well put back to 3, LOL. Helps to promote the upcoming pack for selling anyway. I may consider playing a psycho returner deck for fun, LOL
Pot of avarice
- Will turbo pot come back? Doubt it, too many people play dark beat so far and loving it. Unless you think of playing a dark turbo pot with creator deck? May work, may not. But will prob not ever get to a staple deck status, so... I think most people will still play only 2. (Makes you think if you want 3 with monster reborn in your deck anyway, LOL) And again, too much people playing dark beat with creator / DAD, which those decks cant put avarice, so, why not?
Creature swap
- Apprentice and swapping anyone? But no saint mag so abit no point also. Playing it in gadget decks? Maybe, but gadgets always prefered monster destruction rather then swapping? It was never a popular choice for gadgets anyway.
Apprentice Mag
- No breaker, no saint mag. Left old aunty...... Lousy card?
Reckless Greed
- Hmmm, abit iffy, but then again, you have to use all 3 at the same time for some advantage. If you use them 1 by 1, it doesnt do much, plus as said earlier, chain burn is dying out, so.....
Anywayz, thats my post so far, know its abit long and I have to get back to work soon so... Cheers~
