Available soon in OCG!
Maybe one of the reason why poor Reinforcement of the Army never made it out of the restriction list.
This is easily splashable into 2 next deck to beat. Lightlords aside, Undead Synchro and Vayu Synchro is very friendly with this. (Or a cool deck with all 3 inside)
Pulling Laila, Raikou and even Ehren to kick your opponent's Goblin/Tomato is cool. Hope you mill your Necro Guardna too =D
TCG never get to use it this way since Undead Synchro minus Brionac is not that cool, and Vayu just got released in TCG.
Or actually you can place it into anything with 3 Avarice! Just imagine having 3 Pot of Greed yah? Add Transmigration Prophecy/転生の予言 for more profit.
Top decks at the moment: Anything Grave related and DD GB to F all of that up.

[Deck] Another Neos Beat
First of all, this should be read as ["Another Neos" Beat] and not [Another "Neos Beat"].
As requested by Rauzes, here is the deck. =)
It is pretty much Light Beat with more fancy moves.
Monsters [15]
[1] Emisary of Darkness Gorz
[1] Cyber Dragon
[3] E Hero Another Neos
[1] E Hero Airman
[3] Raiou
[3] Honest
[2] DD Warrior Lady
[1] BF Gale of the Whirlwind
Magic [16]
[1] Heavy Storm
[1] Cyclone
[1] Hurricane
[1] Reinforcement of the Army
[1] Smashing Ground
[1] Fissure
[1] Brain Control
[3] E - Emergency Call
[3] Dual Spark
[3] Book of Moon
Trap [9]
[1] Mirror Force
[1] Torrential Tribute
[1] Call of the Haunted
[1] Trap Dustshoot
[1] Solemn Judgement
[3] Hero Blast
[1] Dimension Prison
-----------------------------
General Playing.
Rule #1:
Getting Another Neos in your hand is a MUST. Without it, Dual Spark and Hero Blast is fail.
Rule #2:
Honest should be reserved for big monsters as much as possible.
Rule #3:
I hate Dogs! (Ask Rauzes)
Airman -> Another Neos is advantage. +1
Chaining Dualspark to anything is mostly advantage. +1
Hero Blast to destroy a monster and taking back Another Neos is advantage. +1
You will eventually lead like crazy. Safe to say, this deck should handle Synchro oriented decks quite well. There are plenty of chainable cards to target the tuners which are generally small and that makes them great targets for Hero Blast.
Can't say the same against infinity Zombie Carrier =(
The deck has undergone multiple changes over the weekend since I keep swapping in and out of the banlist to play with Rauzes and several other friends with different banlist that I lost the original build haha.
-----------------------------
Cards to Consider:
Summon Priest
- Another Neos is a must get!
Skill Drain
- Not affecting your deck in any way and offering more control against the Lightlords and GB.
Oversoul
- Everybody loves Monster Reborn!

Latest Machine post~
Hello guys, promised that I will give a post on the latest machine promo so here it is! First the effect..
VJMP-JP045
Cyber Eltanin (サイバー・エルタニン)
Light/Machine/10/?/?
This card cannot be Normal Summoned. This card cannot be special summon outside of by removing all Light Attribute/Machine Type monster from your field and your Graveyard from the game. This card's attack and defense strength is equal to number of monsters removed from game when this card is special summoned x500. When this card is successfully special summoned, send all face-up monsters on the field outside of this card to Graveyard.
So whats so interesting about this card? Well it uses light machine as fodder so the usual suspects such as Cydra, Lord british / viper, T45 come to mind. The more unusual ones are Hyper synchron, Genex Neutron, maybe even cyber vary, and tuning supporter for those are still playing that deck.
Personally tested out the card yesterday, and I think it is pretty safe to say... 80% of the time your cyber eltanin will only be a 500atk/def small fry. My deck had a total of 8 light machines when I tested it out yesterday, but either I didnt draw cyber eltanin, or had only 1 light machine, so rather sad. 1 good thing about this card is once you get the first light machine in the grave, its easy to use even if you somehow have baha's god luck of drawing all 3 copies.
SO, combos for the card? Tried a few ideas yesterday including stuff like...
1. Cyber Eltanin + Calculator = Clear field + 3600 atk calculator. If your hand has honest, cyber eltanin can put attack mode dont care also. Why worry about traps? If played properly, your cyber eltanin usually earns you 1/2 cards easy.
2. Cyber Eltanin + Illusion Summoner = Clear field + Cyber Twin / any fusion monster! Well, this is the weird combo i tried out yesterday. Just cover illusion summoner, protect it with some threatening roar / enemy controller etc. Next turn time for some fun!
3. Cyber Eltanin + Return from DD = Clear field + monster swarm. Well, at least thats the idea, but as I like to play speed decks, as earlier mentioned, in early turns you will only remove 1 monster, so not much point. Or at least usually not much. Yesterday I 1st turn let opp kill my face up lord british though I had honest. Next turn summo Eltanin, hurricane and chain return from dd for lord british, normal summon calculator + honest in hand = extreme pain!
However, thats quite the extent of things at the moment. End point is, there isnt really that many light machines to play with at the moment. Hyper Synchron / Genex Neutron / Reflect bounder are some of the other good ones if you just play beatdown, but compared to a pure light beatdown with rai-ou and stuff, its just not as strong at the moment. (Not to mention my conflicting ideas of keeping illusion summoner alive versus clear field advantage with Eltanin made me keep thinking to use my traps or not, LOL) The only other obvious idea to think of will be using XYZ, just that I dont like it, cause it tends to be much slower and as usual i like speed decks. Anybody interested to be the next tester?

The days without Dark Dive
Very slow!
These are random thoughts after the banlist. I am aware that it is not September yet but I just like to change early. Plus I rarely join tournaments, so it's all casual =)
------------------------
Looks like control decks will be dominating this time round. You can stall all day and have no fear of getting random deaths by Dark Dive anymore. We are back to the age of "The unkillable 100 LP left". It's true, 100 LP is bloody hard to kill unless you are running Caius (or some other burn).
The only explosive deck remaining is Lightlords with double Judgement or anything of that sort. Makes you wonder why Judgement is at 2 when all the field clearing thing is now left at one (aside from Norelas!)
------------------------
In other news!
People have "If it is not 3 I will not play it!" syndrome.
@Raiza
- One. Nobody cares
- Two. Randomly splashed
- Three. "Yes I am so gonna play 3 now because I can!"
@Destiny Draw
- Two. Rarely Played.
- Three. "zOmg time for a D Hero deck!!"
@Baboon (After errata)
- Two. Rubbish.
- Three. Rubbish.
@Breaker
- One. *insert bottomless traphole jokes here*
- Three. Hell yes!
DD Warrior Lady, Breaker and Fissure on the other hand is quite crazy. Please respect Konami's wishes and play 3 of each in your decks! We will probably see them back in the list next year.
------------------------
Call of the Haunted is a skill card! Ok not exactly skill, but you can do alot of fancy moves with it.
Random examples from real life experience.
- Calling Raiou in response of Searcher activation (Reinforcement and family, people releasing/bombing their own Sangan etc)
- Calling Honest, bouncing itself back, followed by a Hurricane so that you can do it again.
- Calling Airman at the end phase with another Hero on the field to destroy that freshly set M/T.
- Calling Ocean at the end of your opponent turn so you could take back your beloved Airman
- Summoning Airman and declaring M/T destruction when it is obviously alone on the field to confuse your opponent. (I pulled this off in an official tournament and my blur opponent had to call the judge to verify what the hell I was doing)
Funny story btw. I asked if he wished to chain anything to my Summon effect (destroying m/t), and he didn't thinking that maybe I was retarded probably. I chained and called back Dash Guy successfully and he attempted to use Bottomless in response to Dash Guy hitting the field which I told him not possible to do since it was in the middle of a chain resolution (Call and there is still Airman effect in queue) and is too late to activate. So obviously I bombed his other set card and won from attacking with both =(
I did not cheat! I asked specifically! Obviously I am not gonna allow him to rewind plus the judge was still there witnessing >=D
Ok I'm sorry with the Airman love examples! It kinda reflects what deck I spend most of my time with...
WTB new deck idea!
------------------------
Anyone else remember the days where there were 3 Crush Card running alongside 3 Dark Scorpion Minee? Coincidentally, it was in the same list containing 3 Torrential Tribute.You can be sure nothing big and powerful hits the field. I think everyone was running Gadgets. So what made Crush Card enter the list in the first place!
And that concludes random post of the day.

Maybe...
I should change to Dark Dive Bomber Infinite collection!
But doubt people will wanna sell cheap considering they spent a fortune on it.
Curses.

Welcome to the next banlist!!
Hello boys & girls~ Welcome to the next banlist! Its that time of the year again, where everyone starts giving their crap about banlist, how something supposed to go in, something not, blah blah, whatever. Anyway, since all the sites I know are only giving updates, I have parepared the full banlist in a word file for those who are interested here. The words in italics are the changes in this year, and sorted in monsters, magic, trap in that order.
新禁止解除 Unbanned
《リビングデットの呼び声》 Call of the Haunted
- Well, nothing new with this, the usual switch around. And since Konami slowling things down without DDB, might as well slow abit more by giving us the trap revival
・新禁止 Banned
《生還の宝札》 Card of Safe Return
《ダーク・ダイブ・ボンバー 》 Dark Dive Bomber
《死者蘇生》 Monster Reborn
《死のデッキ破壊ウイルス》 Crush Card Virus
- As mentioned above, the cards which help speed things up. Level stealer + card of safe return makes for TOO quick draws, etc.
Only interesting thing to go in is ddv, which has never been touched before. Kinda weird considering it was 1 of the good cards against heavy spamming decks, but I guess they want to reduce all the dark based decks?
・新制限 New Restrict
《終焉の王デミス》 King of the End Demise
《メンタルマスター》 Mental Master
《レスキューキャット》 Rescue Cat
《精神操作》 Mind Control
《BF-疾風のゲイル》 BF Gale of the Hurricane
《ワン・フォー・ワン》 One for One
《神の宣告》 Solemn Judgement
《召喚僧サモンプリースト》 Summon Priest
《大寒波》 Cold Wave
《ブラック・ローズ・ドラゴン》 Black Rose Dragon
《リビングデットの呼び声》 Call of the Haunted
- Demise??? What for??? Even with the new ritual supports (which are not THAT fantastic anyway), its still not being used. Then the usual killing off of the FTK decks (Mental Master + One for One), and practically all AKB related cards?
Solemn judgement is interesting choice though?
・新準制限 New Semi Restricted
《奈落の落とし穴》 Bottomless Traphole
《氷結界の虎王ドゥローレン》 King Tiger of the Ice Boundary Dewloren
《ローンファイア・ブロッサム 》 Lone Fire Blossom
《カオス・ソーサラー》 Chaos Sorceror
《馬頭鬼》 Mezuki
- They remove gale to discourage BF all around, yet restrict bottomless?? Well, alot of people only 2 anyway so thats fine i guess. King tiger to 2 stops frog FTK, lone fire blossom as well to stop symbol abuse, then bring back chaos sorcerer and mezuki which are quite dead at the moment. Undead lord decks anyone?
・新解除 Removed from List.
《風帝ライザー》 Wind Monarch Raiza
《デステニー・ドロー》 Destiny Draw
《地割れ》 Fissure
《魔導戦士ブレイカー》 Magical Warrior Breaker
《森の番人グリーン・バブーン》 Forest Guardian Green Baboon
《異次元の女戦士》 DD Warrior Lady
- All cards no longer being used anyway, so whats the big deal?
Further thoughts with decks to expect:
Judgement didnt get touched, but the harder to summon Demise is?? Something not right, but expected. After all, if they touch judgement, who will buy extra packs for charge of light brigade? Just like how they unrestricted allures, so that people will buy the set, then restrict it back.
Graveyard BF is also hardly affected, other then reduction of Gale. Time to bring in Burial from DD Konami... No change for GB as well, save for reducing of 1 rescue cat.. That cat quite important for them though, since just the cat, combine with test tiger, can somehow destroy 3 cards on the field, damage for 2.4k and bring out the big 3k GB easily. (Not sure how to do it? Obviously havent played against them enough)
Finally Light Beat, really no change for them at all, plus 1 more lord british for those who likes the more violent version, and even Cyber Eltanin for those willing to spam it in. I will do an intro on Cyber Eltanin later in a couple of days, or maybe even hours, see how free I am, heh. Planning for a deck that uses 3 of this at the moment. Till then people~

Three Honest still around. Lord British and Viper and around. Three Warrior Ladies are back. Pfft, just put them all in and randomly beat, there is less Bottomless to worry too.
Grave BF
Untouched in any way.

Decks to Expect:
Yah what else do you expect.
Lightlords/Lightsworn!
None of their cards are touched, and they even added an extra Mezuki for you for those playing Undeadlord variety.
BF (with 1 Gale and no Dark Dive)
Now this is Gadget part 2. Search and Beat. Good thing is, you don't die from Dark Dive on the very first turn. What will happen to the black birds!
Light Beat
Three Honest still around. Lord British and Viper and around. Three Warrior Ladies are back. Pfft, just put them all in and randomly beat, there is less Bottomless to worry too.
Grave BF
Untouched in any way.
Ok I shall continue later, I really need to go to work o.o
I Shall go steal a picture too later.

[Deck] Dark Dust Stealer
The strongest ever tribute monster (Dark Magician of Chaos) is not around anymore and is missed very very much.
I was using Caius/Mobius at first but eventually I ran out of monster to tribute. Yes some people's deck are really that defensive (aka humji) plus they had a lot of monster removal. True story.
Suddenly I remember this particular monster which I used very much long ago.
Dark Dust Spirit/砂塵の悪霊
2200/1800 6 stars
Spirit Monster
This card cannot be Special Summoned. During the End Phase of the turn that this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up, return it to its owner's hand. When this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up, destroy all other face-up monsters.
It works naturally well with Level Stealer. Sure it clears the whole board including your own little bugs. But the good thing is, you can summon them back anyway (assuming not bottomless-ed). With card of Safe Return, yah the usual madness. This are all theory crafting btw and is by no mean to be taken too seriously.
It also works well with Book of Moon, it can still clear the field when flipped up. Not reverse summoned. Now I am happy and can continuously Advance summon every turn ^_^

I am too lazy to form a Synchro pile. And think of your own side deck.
Well anyways this is still in testing and probably won't work too well.
Other Tribute monsters to consider:
- Light Emperor
Destroying your own level stealers is woot, probably great in combo decks but hmm...
- Hinokagutsuchi
This is super rewarding, but I was playing against a Light deck. I hate Honest! >=(
Any suggestion for crazy overpowered tribute monsters?
----------------------------------
Edit: I have converted it into a more Barbaros friendly deck. And this seems to have super Match up against GB without any Dimension involved. Other than that, I got raped by BF. Dark Dust Spirit would be more appropriate to sub in with Material against them.
And also why Oppression. It doesn't interrupt Level Stealer. According to the text, it says select a Level 5 and above monster to Activate. Reduce the star by 1 and special summon it.
Oppression negates the activation entirely so no Star is deducted. Therefore, you can summon it again in case your opponent negates it and then realise it is pointless.

Banlist prediction [9/1/2009]
And now we have arrived in August. This month's issue of Jump magazines will most likely have the banlist. As usual, I would just place my predictions just for the fun of it.
Note: This is just a prediction and what I feel. This is not the actual ban list to come and you can be unhappy about it.
Banned:
Dark Armed Dragon
No comments lol
Unbanned:
None. It seems Konami is comfortable with the current.
Restrict to 1:
Summon Priest
Rescue Cat
We would all love to see this go in =)
Judgement Dragon
Self Explanatory.
Dark Dive Bomber
I don't think Konami would want to hurt their new Synchro Theme by banning one already. And it is better than getting hit by 2 and game.
Restrict to 2:
X Saber Airbelun
High stats and great effect.
Gladiator Proving Ground
Look at Reinforcement of the Army!
Reinforcement of the Army
Two is the best number, it has stayed that way for many many years and then they just had to ruin it by releasing it to 3.
Black Whirlwind
Permanent Reinforcement of the Army every turn and it is Card Advantage! Balanced?
Dimension Warrior Lady
Personal wish. My Shine angels have no more target besides itself and Honest (and Viper XD) =(
Solar Exchange
Look at Allure of Darkness
Lonefire Blossom
Insta-Tytanial with ZERO effort. There are other target like Gigaplant (and the whole variety of OTKs that it is capable of)
Seal of Heritage
Crazy combo with Dewloren, Lonefires, crazy decks with 3 of everything. They will be blessed with Bahamut-god-hand. =)
Burial from Another Dimension
People overlook this as effect is not very appealing. Putting crazy stuff back into the grave and using their effect from the grave leads to crazy advantage.
No Restrict:
Destiny Draw
Who the hell plays this anymore!
Forest Guardian Green Baboon
As above!
-------------------------------
Final List
Banned
Dark Armed
R to 1
Summon Priest
Rescue Cat
Judgement Dragon
Dark Dive Bomber
R to 2
X Saber Airbelun
Lonefire Blossom
DD Warrior Lady
Reinforcement of the Army
Gladiator Proving Ground
Black Whirlwind
Solar Exchange
Burial from Another Dimension
Seal of Heritage
E Hero Airman *secret wish*
No Restriction
Forest Guardian Green Baboon
Destiny Draw
Note: This is just a prediction and what I feel. This is not the actual ban list to come and you can be unhappy about it.
I am hoping that Lightlord deck will become a Lightlord deck. Not "The deck that has lightlords in its name but wins by Judgement Dragon lol"
