Jinzo Lord without Jinzo Lord deck!

Hi everybody, as you guys know by now, I USUALLY dont post up my decks until I'm somewhat done with them and about to dismantle them. However, thru the videos neuxcharge placed on youtube, somehow my current deck is getting quite abit of attention so I kinda decided why not. Well, here it is!

Deck name: Jinzo Lord w/o Jinzo Lord! (This name kinda sticks with me, its long, I know)

Monsters:
Cyber Dragon
Jinzo * 3
Jinzo Returner * 3
Lightlord Wulf
Lightlord Lyla
Lightlord Lumina
Lightlord Ryoko
Armageddon Knight * 2
Zombie Carrier
Demon Roar God - Raven (The only OCG exclusive at the moment, replacable by Gale)
Dark Armed Dragon
Gorz
Snipe Hunter

Magic:
Big Storm
Hurricane
Charge of the Light Brigade * 3
Solar Recharge * 3
Megamorph
Limit Break
Mind Control
Brain Control
Future Fusion
Pot of Avarice * 3
Allure of Darkness * 2
Foolish Burial * 2
Reinforcement of the Army

Trap:
Cry of Living Dead

Well, thats all of it above. Why dont I normally post decks Im still playing with? Cause they are usually still undergoing tuning, maybe new ideas I will be putting in, etc. Next version will prob have Gold Sarcophagus, still thinking on it.

How does the deck work? The lightlord stuff is mainly to facilitate drawing, as well as getting your jinzos in the grave, so when using avarice, leave those Jinzos in there! Then hopefully just draw all the way, to gain hand advantage, while using your easily summoned Jinzos to have field control. Will list out some of the less commonly known combos here

Combo 1: (Total luck based)
If solar recharge accidentally drops out returner, and Jinzo is in the grave, you can actually summon him out. Therefore, keep your recharges to be played only during your 2nd turn when you can attack, and always get Jinzos in grave first before playing it. It does happen quite often.

Combo 2:
Use zombie carrier to put a returner back to deck, flip open ryko to drop out, and summon Jinzo. Doesnt happen all that often since I have only 1 of each, but hey, done it before though.

Combo 3:
Raven can discard returners and summon back Jinzo! Not only that, a 4 star raven can tune with a Jinzo to summon out Demon Roar God - Leviathian, and when that dies take back Raven for replay. (Note: Raven is a light tuner, so good for summoning Ancient Holy Wyvern as well) - For TCG players, just use the more boring BF-Gale

Combo 4:
FF + Avarice + Hurricane = ultimate leet
Why? Just FF summon out your Jinzos, then do avarice and hurricane for a replay next turn. If you have Zombie carriers and raven with you, you can tune them for synchros, then use your FF straight away again.

Combo 5:
Zombie carrier is your friend here. Why? I am not sure how many times already, have i had FF + Cyber Dragon in the same hand. So just summon armageddon knight, put back Cydra, and do all favourite combo.

And thats my usual wall of text. Hope you guys have fun playing with this deck, and keep tuning it. Who knows, you might have a more successful build then me!

MGS AKB

Uhm what??

Arcanite and Tempest is amazing together.

Gravekeeper Spy flip -> Gravekeeper Spy
Kushano + Gravekeeper Spy -> Arcanite Magician
Drop Cerberal to take back Kushano
Cerberal Special summon itself
Cerberal + gravekeeper Spy 2 -> Tempest Magician
Tempest Magician throw x number of hand
Arcanite Magician adds X counter

Arcanite Magician (2400 + X) + Tempest(2200) + Tempest burn effect (500 + x) -> what?

When x = 3 or more, its OTK!

Apparently there is a difference in the TCG and OCG text for Tempest Magician.
TCG = discard
OCG = Send
Errata to discard pls! Then can have bonus effects from discarding MGS lol

Helpful algebra revision for the O level students =D

Random Fiend Roar Deity Love: God Cat Attack

In reference to God Bird Attack (Icarus Attack) obviously.


Fiend Roar Deity Cashi
Effect: When this card is discarded from the hand to grave, destroy one face up card on the field.

Before I start, it would be good to know that most of their effect are compulsary thus unable to miss timing which means using them as a discard cost will also trigger the effect. Please do not confuse this with "sending to grave" effects such as Zombie Master and Hand Destruction.

Note: Cashi effect will trigger after the chain resolution and starts a new chain instead of adding on to the card that discards it.

With Thunder Break -> God Cat Attack
With Kushano in grave -> Free Destruction ( I really mean Free!)
With Lumina -> destroy one card and special summon a card, yes pls!
And many more creative examples.

It also helps with the Oppression/Skill Drain problem that MGS deck (or any other synchro based deck) have.

Now for the down side.

Compulsary effect means you have to destroy something even if you opponent doesn't have any face up card and this will lead to destruction of your own cards which is usually a bad bad thing. Book of Moon comes into mind. Creative thinking and a little twisting of ruling will help in your favor. True story.

Overall, this cat deserves a lot of love!

Spreading awareness

Looks like MGS is gaining attention now in Singapore woot.

Which is a good thing! I don't have to explain effect to every of my opponent during tournament!

In that 6 games of tournament last week, I had to announce the effect in each game =(

Machiner Fortress Review

Hi Everyone! Yup, im home and relaxed so this is a great change for once. However, why is this post late, when i promised it will be done by the weekend? Well, my fellow blogger mate said that he wanted his deck results to have some time to showcase first, so this post is a few days late, dont mind yah?

Anyway, as the title says, this post is about the new shiny foil card coming out in the latest structure deck on 12th December! (OOP: Not even sure why it is mentioned by the November tournament organizers it cant be used when it is not even released yet. DUH......) Anyway, here's the effect first, provided by shriek.

Machiners Fortress
EARTH/Machine - Effect/7/2500/1600
You can discard Machine-Type monsters whose Levels total 8 or more to Special Summon this card from your hand or Graveyard. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, select 1 card your opponent controls and destroy it. Also, when this face-up card you control is targeted by the effect of an opposing Effect Monster, look at your opponent's hand and discard 1 card from it.

My original idea that this card's only strong point was its special summon ability, but after Baha pointed out how its stats can just nice fit the many synchro monsters which are used now, well, the other effects aint so bad after all. Looking at effects 1 by 1.

1. Special Summon Ability
Well, this card fits well in only 1 viable machine deck at the moment. *Drum Roll...* Antique Gears! Antique Gears have Golem and Dragon to access to for a level 8, and they actually work good in grave, considering Antique gear ultimate golem, as well as gear town (Go read them up and think on them thanks) However, with the limited machine options for high levels, there arent many left to consider that are useful. The ONLY other machine monster that actually has grave synergy is Bolt Hedgehog. (Yes, look at that card in your Junk & Debris deck, it IS a machine) So, 1 way to do it, is you can discard itself and a bolt hedgehog from your hand to summon it out, so your cost is minimal (TCG does that for Dragon Ice, so it should be legal)

2. Destroy by Battle ability
Initial opinion: This card is already so big, how to die by battle siah.
After further thought: Ok, at least this card wont get hit by goyu and suddenly appear on opponent field. If goyu hits it, just zap his goyu and you're safe. (No earth smash jokes, we already know them too well thanks) And well, if somehow you get hit by honest / BF's dishonest, then at least you drag something down with you too. He uses 2 cards, you use 1, advantage! Then stats allow it to stay alive by stardust, so no stardust smack then negate its ability, so its cool~

3. Target by Effect Monster ability
Initial opinion: How many effect monsters can out there that actually target siah..
After further thought: Ok, abit more then I thought I guess in the metagame. Lightlord Ryoko is 1 of them. Smack into defense monsters, if its a ryoko, at least you get free confiscation when it dies. Same goes for monsters like Brionac, snipe hunter, GB's fish/contact and smash 2 card nonsense. Unfriendly monsters will be stuff like DD assailant, D. warrior girl, etc

So in all, not a bad card. Its 2nd and 3rd effect are not bad against the many current metagame effect monsters, and its special summon ability it cool stuff (Which I would have bought the card for just for its first ability). Now is just to hope that in this SD comes some other 8 star good machine / machine with grave synergy to combo with this card! Next up in a few days? Random hate post~

Edit: Woohoo, I went to compare the text with demon roar Raven, apparently you will be able to discard a Jinzo and a Jinzo returner to summon this, then revive back the Jinzo, cool stuff! Guess my Jinzo deck can use this as well. For reference, please note links Demon Roar God-Raven and Machiners Fortress

Fiend Roar Deity and their friends

In effort towards world domination, the Fiend Roar Deities have recruited the spellcasters as their allies.



Tricky + Cerberal -> Arcanite Magician
Tricky + Cashi/Chawa -> Tempest Magician
Tricky + Cruz -> so much special summons

The Fiend Roar Deity Beasts also found their long lost "Friend" who is probably a pet to another Spellcaster.



Rescue Cat -> Cerberal/Chawa/Cashi (tuners) AND/OR Ganeshia/Nozuchi (non-tuners)

So
Much

[Tournament Report] 17/10/09

Tournament @ Khatib again~

Deck Used: MGS Synchro yet again

Match 1: Undead Synchro
XOO
Game 1: My opponent was touching himself again and killed me with Goyou, Brionac, Hades and Dark End.
Game 2: My deck decided to turn into lightlord mode again and my opponent did not realise that Ehren can kick Tragoedia. Rushed with Laila and Wulf.
Game 3: I thought I was dead when I got poked by Sangan and Golin Zombie. According to him he search wrongly and in the end I won by attacking with Legion, Brionac and Bolt Hedgehog (now it shall be known as Victory Hedgehog!)

Match 2: Undead Synchro
XX
Game 1: More undead self touching
Game 2: Uphill battle against Cycle Leaders and I draw the legendary Wulf in desperate times again!!

OO
Game 1: OTK with Wyvern, Brionac, Brain Controlled Arms Wing, Lumina and (vVctory!)Hedgehog!
Game 2: Managed to use Imperial Iron Wall to prevent some Dark Armed rape and I did an infinity (Victory!) Hedgehog loop. Not exactly infinity but I had Ordoro and 2 Kushano

Match 4: Metabeat (last boss DD deck!!)
XOO
Game 1: There was Fissure, Radiance, and stupid Magical Android. There was really nothing I could do while he gain life. At one point I thought I could make a come back with Gorz but Gale ruined everything =(
Game 2: Can't exactly remember but I think it turned into Lightlord Beat again o.o
Game 3: Jess was afraid of my face down Ryko and refuse to attack it (which was actually Kushano lulz!) Which was kinda the turning point where I managed to summon 2 Legions and Goyo-ed over his Jinzo and I did some Avarice as well which led to super big lead.

Match 5: Gladiator Beast
OO
Game 1: Early lead and much poking here and there with nothing notable except me forgetting to calculate his LP and I did not summon Wyvern thinking my LP was less argh!
Game 2: After much struggle to get rid of Radiance in early turns I managed to turn the table after some Legion love. Ok fine, Legion drew Cruz and I just swarm the board.

Match 6: Gladiator Beast
XOX
Game 1: Got pwned by Heraklenos despite summoning Levuathan =( This time round I draw 2 Hedgehog and died...
Game 2: Second turn OTK with Wyvern, Brionac and Kushano.

Result: Third place and DT07 Oppression as Prize.

Progression!!
Week 1: Scrub with like 0-2 each!
Week 2: Top 8
Week 3: Top 4
Week 4: ???

Konami and their reprints

So the new Machine Structure Deck will have Dimension Prison.

What other hard-to-get powerful cards will they print next that is not already reprinted in DT!

Super random thoughts that are unlikely:

*WARNING!! THIS IS RANDOM SPECULATION AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY*

AOJ Catastor (Gold series 2010??)
Mist Wurm (Gold series 2010??)
Barbaros (Gold series 2010??)
Mezuki (DT??)
Death calibur Knight (DT??)
Starlight Road (Yugioh 5ds starter 2010/2011 probably lol!)
Demon Roar God Series (we need a starter deck here just like X Sabers!!)

These are based on the reaction that people give out whenever they look into other people's album. These are always the few promos that people are constantly looking for whenever they flip album!

And more that I am lazy to think of right now.

Cerberal and Zombie Master

Does not work.

Reason:

Zombie Master
"Once per turn, you can send 1 monster..."

Cerberal
"When this card is discarded to the graveyard..."

L O L ~

On the bright side, you can still use it with Brionac!
/escape before getting stoned

Randomness Part 14324 Section 2

Woohoo~ My exams are over! Left ONE last subject for the next semester, plus changing job next week, last day of current job comes in 3 days! Why is this important to you? I dont care!!! (After all, this post title is named Randomness, LOLz)

Anywayz, seriously, why the above is important and related to baha's post below? Basically my previous job was a confirm work Mondays to Saturdays full day, with alternate Sundays working job. Combine with my part time degree (Ok lah, im not really that ONz a student but still...), seriously had not had much time to even play deck, needless to say be udpated on YGO, or especially post much on the blog!

But its all over, and Im back! Get ready for more Machine madness, coming up~

Randomness Part 14324

It seems people don't realise that there are two writers in this blog. I don't blame them, half the time (or more) he is MIA!

So if you notice anything that is like machine related, that would be DS. Everything else that is random would be me. =D

Or you can just look at who posted it.

[Tournament Report] 10/10/09

Khatib Tournament again~

Deck Used: MGS Synchro (Fiend Roar Deity)

Match 1: Neuxcharge (Lightsworn)
XOO
Game 1: I had a nice hand and start doing the usual combo and then I realise it was the first turn LOL! So I had to leave poor Ordoro on the field against the swarm of the Light Brigades!
Game 2: I sided 3 Cycle Leader which helped alot =D
Game 3: Summoned Mr Decisive Arms and he had Aurkus on the field. I just used Decisive Arms first effect to slowly clear the board.

Match 2: Anthony (Dragon/Dragunity)
OO
Game 1: Almost did an OTK with Shining Holy Wyvern but I wasn't at 8000 so he left a little LP.
Game 2: Won from massive card advantage and a very very big Shining Holy Wyvern.

Match 3: Shifu (Lightsworn)
XX
Game 1: I have a Lightsworn hand, no one will know I was playing MGS unless I told them! I mill like all my spells and stupid Hedgehogs with no Tuner/any MGS at all.
Game 2: Now this was a total opposite as I drew 3 Cruz with nothing interesting. Cycle Leaders did not help much =(

Result: Scrubbed + Creative deck prize of a ANPR double pack. (I got a XX Gatomz yet again....)

Deck details can be found below.

魔轟神 Synchro

Ok I think it's time I did a blog post on this. I found the deck from feath's blog. *gasp*

I netdeck, so does everyone else. It's no secret. So yes, the entire idea is not mine. I just wanna let people know that the deck is very interesting (read: complicated) and something different than your usual meta decks. That is why I decided to try it out =)

After playing it for a few weeks now, I still haven't fully grasp all the combos yet either.

[3] Fiend Roar Deity Legion
[1] Chimeratech Fortress Dragon
[1] Shining Holy Wyvern
[1] Arcanite Magician

================================

Due to the massive amount of combos you can do with this deck, I'm just gonna point out a few basic ones. You will notice most of the combos will involve Kushano in grave which is why the decks runs the Lightlord milling engine. You want to put those Hedgehogs and Kushano in grave ASAP.

Hand: Cruz
Grave: Kushano
This combo is the bread and butter of the whole deck. Retrieving Kushano back while special summoning another Fiend Roar Deity from your grave is a +1 advantage. Plus you have not used your Normal Summon so Synchro summon is made easy.

Assuming nothing horrible happens, this leads into more fancy combos like....

Hand: Lyla, Cruz
Grave: 2 Kushano
Lyla clear 1 card, Cruz retrieve Kushano and special summon another Kushano, Synchro into Arcanite Magician clear 2 more cards. You can further tune it into Levuathan afterwards!
Result: Opponent lost 3 cards and you end up with a 3000 beatstick that will retrieve 3 Fiend Roar Deity back (usually taking back a mixture of Cruz and Grimro)

Hand: Cruz, Bolt Hedgehog/Dandelion
Grave: Kushano, Ordoro
Cruz retrieve Kushano, special Ordoro. Ordoro discard Hedgehog and special Kushano. Special Hedgehog from grave and tune with Kushano for Legion to draw 2 cards.
Result: Legion + Ordoro + a 2 draw. We just did a +2 advantage here! And if you draw Cruz, you can continue to retrieve that Kushano again!

Something like that.

To summarize the wall of text above, you can watch the following video where I played against DS. Thanks Neuxcharge for the video =)



IMO DS is a cheater!

5Ds Comic!

Yupz, you read rightly, apparently there is a new YGO 5D's comic that is out. Link is as follows, knock yourselves out fellas!

http://www.onemanga.com/Yu-Gi-Oh_5Ds/1/01/

Spoilers: OMG, new character in the comic and he uses insect deck... Going to faint liao..

Crazy deck idea? (Beta 1 & final)

Hello everybody, back to my crazy deck idea next and final version. Why final version? I guess im just satisfied with playing the few themes which I always thought I wanted to try, so its back to something more main theme for me. (No more going to tourneys and throwing $5 to organizers with weird decks, LOL)

So basically, its takes the previous deck idea of combining illusion summoner with antique gear in the same deck, and bringing it up 1 step further by adding draw components, etc. Since I wanted to draw cards faster, yet not lose out on advantage, the crazy combination came in... Ojyama! (Idea from Jeff's sms of some deck he found online) Always wanted to test how the Ojyama draw engine would work anyway, so here it is! Hi Rauzes, added in some junk in the deck with inspiration from you too, lol.

And yes, the deck only has TWO machine monsters. However, since the kill condition here mainly uses them and seldom anything else, well, still somewhat considered a machine deck?

Monsters
Antique Gear Dragon * 2
Tragodia * 3
Ojyama Yellow * 2
Ojyama Green * 2
Ojyama Black * 2
Zombie Carrier
Illusion Summoner * 2
Snipe Hunter
Critter
Junk Synchron * 2

Magic
Big Storm
Hurricane
Brain Control
Megamorph
Limit Break
Gear City * 3
Ojya-magic * 3
Avarice * 2
Hand Destruction
Hand Severing * 3

Traps
Magical Silk Hat * 2
Phoenix Wing Blast * 2 (Really wanted thunder break, but cant find them so...)
God Declaration

Draw Engine:
For those who dont know, basically you hope to draw ojya-magic in hand, throw away for some effect, get 3 cards, then hand d/severing them, draw big hand for combos. So the idea here was to throw away some of the other combos such as FF, black bomber for speed of drawing, plus better synchro options then 7 star...

New added combos:
- When tragodia attacks, just chain some hand severing madness to add big hand for big attacks
- Junk synchro easy revival of ojyamas which you throw to grave anyway, rauzes happiness
*HIDDEN CRAZY COMBO* When tragodia is out, use first effect to make it a 2 star, summon junk synchro into junk warrior. With this deck, easy 5k monster on field?? Happened a few times in my short 2 days testing period so not crazy luck, thanks yah.

Conclusion:
Well, Ojyama draw engine as I expected, not that stable, but at least finally tried it out. Adding 3 buttocks to hand from deck is fun. Having FOUR buttocks out of SIX staring at you in beginning hand is not fun! Also, abit tired of having to protect illusion summoner, so time to go back to some DS madness! Next up? DS machine edition of twilight decks!

Me heart Hanewata!

In reference to this post by Neuxcharge (the one about watapon and hanewata....)

I only have this to say....

BURN!!!

"NO GOLD HANEWATA! YA HEAR ME? YOU GO 'TA HELL! YOU GO TO HELL AND YOU DIE!"
Those who watched Southpark would know who said it! Minus the Hanewata of course!

Spirit Burner

Recently, new Lightlord decks are packing this as a form of tech card.

Spirit Burner
Equip Spell
Once per turn, you can change the battle position of the equipped monster to Defense Position. When the equipped monster is returned from the field to the hand and this card is sent to the Graveyard, inflict 600 damage to your opponent. If this card is in the Graveyard, you can add it to your hand instead of conducting a normal draw during your Draw Phase.

"WTF IS THIS CARD???"
A piece of thrash in your ANPR pile that you will probably go dig after learning its awesome-ness!

1) You will not deck out!
2) You can paste on your opponent monster and kick it with Ehren!
3) You can Paste on your Honest and bounce it back and burn your opponent for that cheap win!
4) You can also trample with Gragonis if you just wish to be crazy!
5) Random stupid card that you can set to cheat people's Cyclone! =D

You may now start digging your ANPR pile, GO!

魔轟神獣ユニコール/ Fiend Roar Deity Unicor

The new love.

Sure effect is probably hard to use. Just think of it as a big 2300 beatstick with bonus effects. Beats summoning Arms Aid!

With people randomly splashing Cerberal into their deck, this is something that you should add into the xtra deck.

Aside from that, it is even cooler in a MGS deck. Xiao mei mei (Cruz) can summon this with ehr effect!

@DT07

Full spoiler is up at Shriek's and omg all the demon roar god beasts art features those little cute colorful demons mostly getting tortured by the beasts who are even cuter o.o

Looks like the theme of fallen angels and ugly demons has changed!

===================================

魔轟神獣ユニコール
Ｑ：効果分類は何ですか？
Ａ：永続効果になります。(09/10/02)

Continuous effect wtf?? You can't divine wrath it or use Stardust to negate it's effect lawl
