So I was testing my deck against GB and because I tried to be funny with my oppressions, end up I had to ask around and since Oppression is becoming popular I decided to ask at the UDE forum....
http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/COMMUNITY/forums/thread/1321967.aspx
It became a long and weird where
- You can't activate Dust Tornado when negating a summon
Which kinda doesn't make sense and makes flipping and paying 800 into super super powerful shit lol. As for those who don't know about the Oppression change, you may click here. (Scroll down a little till you see a wall of red text)
Discuss.

The art of Brionac abuse!
Hi guys, today I shall teach you guys how to use Brionac like a true pro!
First up, the details of the card!
Dragon of the Ice Boundary Brionac
6/Water/Sea Dragon/Synchro
2300/1400
Discard any number of cards from your hand, bounce card(s) on the field equal to the number of card you discarded this way.
-------------------------------------
At first look, this card might just look barely decent with normal stats and an effect that is just so-so. Normally destroy effect are favored over bounce unless it bounces to the top of the deck. Just look at what happened to Raiza. But with the release of new cards such as Armshole and decks that rely on grave, this card suddenly unlocked it's full potential.
This card is now my favorite Synchro and yes I swear it is the best Synchro monster ever created. Over Goyou Guardian, I would still pick this to summon simply because you never know that you might just draw Premature Burial on your next draw. Comparing any other 6 star Synchro to Brionac is like comparing dirt to gold.
Lesson 1: The basic!
Brionac + Premature Burial
This is the most basic combo of all and commonly abused. Having an adequate hand size with some tuners in grave will result in multiple Synchro summons in a turn that will usually leave opponent dead or at least crippled. From this combo, you can go into other advanced combo which I will explain as we go further.
Depending on deck, there are a lot of loop that makes use of this simple brainless combo.
Example 1: Zombie decks
With the release of Zombie carrier, its so easy to summon this with near zero effort. Pyramid Turtle and Goblin Zombie can search almost everything in a Zombie deck.
Now just imagine this Scenario. Carrier and Goblin Zombie turns into Brionac. You search Mezuki. Use Premature on Carrier, throw Mezuki and Premature for another Goblin. Synchro again!
Easy mode looping and full field in no time plus a clear opponent field usually. Even without Premature this combo is still do-able.
Example 2: Plant decks
Brionac + Grass Fertiliser. Loop Botanity Girl and Copy Plant and keep searching while bounce the Fertiliser and yes, full field again in no time. I did summon 3 Botanical Leos on another duel with this combo. 3 2500 attack lion and a Brionac, yum!
Example 3: Regular Dark Decks
Knight of the End with Carrier into Brionac. Premature Knight of the End for MOBC, Bounce Premature and use it to summon MOBC. Repeat till your field is filled with crazy high level. This is also a good way to reduce your number of darks till its 3 and summon you-know-what.
Lesson 2: Cycling through your deck.
All the examples above usually involves swarming the field. But there are some times your hand suck balls. Do not worry, with Disk Guy and a Premature, you can cycle through your deck easily! Assuming 8000 LP, you can draw about18 cards from your deck =)
1) Have Brionac on the field.
2) Throw a Disk Guy
3) Premature Disk Guy
4) Bounce Premature
5) Bounce Disk Guy
6) Set Premature and bounce it with Disk Guy
7) Repeat from step (3)
-------------------------------------
Just look at all the different possibilities you can do with just a Premature Burial.
Why am I posting this? Such a powerful thing should be kept to myself! But well, new restriction list is coming pretty soon. With stupid things like the above, I think Premature Burial has like 90% chance of going in lol.
With combos like this, Monster Reborn doesn't look overpowered at all lol. Unless you are stealing your opponent's Brionac of course ;)
Restricting Brionac is dumb, since all you need is just one. Banning it is also unlikely.
It's not Brionac's fault, it's Premature Burial's fault!
(and a little bit of Arms Hole's)

WTB New deck ideas =(
I need new deck to play!!!
Anyway sad for those who went to the Malaysia tourney over the weekend and couldn't join. It's sad that I couldn't go with you all, not that I wanna abandon you guys just cos I won the Singapore one lol.
Well anyway hopefully crossroad comes in next Monday. Then maybe I'll play some stupid Plant deck! Already made the deck on DO but yah, got thrashed by Dark Armed again. I think I'm just gonna stick to playing Honest Viper until I go Germany, can be used asthrashing training session for me.
Anyway I heard that Honest viper deck is attracting some attention from other countries. I hope it doesn't attract that much attention lol.

Countdown to the Crossroad!
Nothing to post this few days, nothing huge going on. Hopefully there will be some interesting decks from Taiwan and HK qualifiers.
Yeah it's still early, but well who knows Singapore might just get it early again. Estimated in two weeks time. Plus 70/80 of the cards are already revealed.
The cards to get:
Black Rose Dragon
Best (and only?) 7 star syncro so far. Yes Nitro Warrior is shit, I'm just gonna keep saying this over and over again.
Zombie Carrier
The next best tuner since Clevonse. Self revival is pretty gay.
Botanity Girl
Plant Searcher, never bad. But I don't know how good will plant be. Especially with so many Special summon hate that every one is packing. Too bad it can't search Botanical Leo.
Jade Knight
Some Victory Viper Love? lol Yeah I know I just mentioned this because it's a support card lol.
Village of Spellcasters
Easy to use and it locks magic. Nothing can be more noobish.
Urgent Tuning
Should be useful to push that last bit of damage. Or you can just do crazy shit with X saber Arbelun now. Drop hand not enough still wanna beat more life point.
Cards to throw when you get it from your pack/box.
Death Kaiser Dragon
Nope it is not strong at all thanks. Goyou Guardian/Brionac is the best 6 star synchro ever created.
Ressurected Dark Ruler Hades
As above.
Turbo Warrior
Refer to above again.
I think I just shot down all the remaining Ultra rares in this set. oops =/ I can see it now, my box will contain the above 3 omg!
---------------------------------------
And also some update from upperdeck website woot.
Continuous Trap Cards with Ignition-Like Effects July 2008
When you activate (flip face-up) a Continuous Trap Card that has an Ignition-like effect, you can choose to activate that effect. The Ignition-like effect does not create an additional Chain Link. You simply state if you will also activate the effect of the Continuous Trap Card at the same time you activate the card itself.
Example 3:
Player A activates “Monster Reborn” and selects a monster in Player B’s Graveyard. Player B can activate “Royal Oppression” and also activate its effect to negate “Monster Reborn.”
Previously Oppresion had to be face up first before activating it's effect during a chain. Good news for me, no more opening in during stand by phase and get shot by stupid bitch Laila. =D
---------------------------------------
To those ppl at the tagboard. Play nice =)
And yes I have issues with gladial beast. Not that I hate them, I just feel that the deck is very scrub-ish. Very little skills required, well not that Synchro Dark Armed needs a lot of skill either.
If any of you think that Gladial Beast is not strong then yeah I guess if you were thrown into the competitive scene in a non asian region and not get thrashed by Gladial Beast, pls link me your feature match and tell me I'm wrong.
