With the Black Feather Hype. Here are some tips on how to beat the deck that everyone plays.
Yes I tried it even though I told myself not to, so I think I roughly know what I am talking about.
1) Delta Crow Anti Reverse
Is overrated. Yes using it at the end phase is cool and all. But you need to have a BF on the field, meaning the 3 Book of moon now actually has uses. And of course that is assuming they even reached the field without getting bottomless.
2) Qalad of the Moonshadow
This is like honest, and that is why it faces the same problem that honest have. Getting raped by Mind Crush and Trap Dust Chute. And now that Mind Crush is at 2, just crush this when suspicious attack declarations are being made.
3) Black Whirlwind
Checked, if monster is not on the field during resolution, you don't get to search. So yes, more Book of Moon and Bottomless love! Oh, and of course there is Raiou!
Yes I am making all this up simply from the new banlist. So cmon, max those books and bottomless and mind crush and trap dust chute. Don't give any chance!
Yes I do realise people will just tell me that they put God Bird Attack and whatever, but at least I tried to do something about this craze.
-------------------------------------------
There are people who wants to make that Ultimate BF deck, and there are people who wishes to see all the birds die in flames. =) I am all in for the new banlist, I like it alot! But I am hoping that this metagame would be something interesting other than Black Feathers.
PS: No I did not get raped by BF.
PS: No I did not rape other people using BF either.

New Ban list is up! Undead synchros go down!
Hello hello people, yes finally im posting. Meant to post since the release of raging battle, so that makes it a week ago... But seriously no time. Anyway, nothing exciting about raging battle as everyone knows, except for deformers (LOL!). I build finish a deck based on the new ban list already then i do some discussion on it.
Anywayz, yes, ban list just came out today! As per previous, there was a fake ban list sent out yesterday also. (I see 3 card gunner i think ho sei liao! Sadly fake list, ah well) Anywayz, first is the ban list changes as belowz.... Courtesy of Shriek, link here http://shriek.twoday.net/
Forbidden Cards
None
Restriction Cards
Chaos Sorcerer
Gladial-Beast Bestarori
Goyou Guardian
Zombie Carrier
Dark Armed Dragon
Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Boundary
Mezuki
Urgent Teleport
Card of Safe Return
Reinforcement of the Army
Semi-Restriction Cards
Goblin Zombie
D-Hero - Diabolic Guy
Raiza the Storm Monarch
Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest
Destiny Draw
Gold Sarcophagus
Allure of Darkness
Mind Crush
No longer restricted
Manticore of Darkness
Twin-Headed Behemoth
Phantom of Chaos
Book of Moon
Nobleman of Crossout
Alright people, some thoughts as usual on the list follows....
Forbidden cards no change! - Well now, everybody expected Monster Reborn to go in, with all the comments on it being a mistake, etc. But hey, now we have 1 COSR left, so.... Nothing that imbal about it left maybe?
Restricted List
Chaos Sorcerer - This one to 3 also no issue I think. Wonder who will use this besides twilight deck maybe? Well, it "helps" stop baboon which is back so....
G-Beast Beastari - Finally going in! This alone helps reduce Gyazarus appearing to disturb so its good. Not sure how big it would affect though. (Restricted to 2, I still could kill 3, AND still have it come back, irritating lor)
Goyou Guardian - Too many people doing a summon 2 of this and summon something else for OTK, plus effect is abit imbal. (Its bullshit when you summon 8 star synchros and have to worry of a 6 star owning it totally and then joining your opp field)
Zombie Carrier - Free revival, dark makes easy discard, part of the reason 1 armageddon knight can become a goyou easily etc, so whats not to expect?
Dark Arm Dragon - 2? I played 2 before it got restricted anyway, no big diff. Now 1 would make a difference. Sad though, was hoping to see someone summon DAD, clear field, then sac Strong Wind? LOL, quite big trampler siah. Ah wellz, wonder why Judgement didnt join too but 4 lightlords is that bit harder to get maybe?
Brionac - Dont understand why? Obviously never see Jeff play before. You know what is called first turn abuse this card and do FTK? Even at 1, it does not affect that much also, since 1 is often what you need just to kill your opp...
Mezuki - Finally, no more Burial from DD and suddenly 3 free monsters appear
Urgent Teleport - Yes, the 1 card which made everyone think SYNCHRO OMG()!@*$)(DJF! So yes, if anyone did not expect this ought to get bashed up. Heck even this machine user abuses 3 copies.
COSR - Yes, 2 did not affect much as obviously seen in Undeads, so 1 it is!
Reinforcement - Too many strong effect warriors now splashing in every deck, and too easy to use. My previous deck runs 3 warriors I also play 3 to speed up the deck...
Semi Restriction
Goblin Zombie - Yes, easy searching zombie master, mezuki, carrier, combine with repeat abuse using mezuki, etc, caused this
D-hero Diabolic - Back in he goes, Konami test test, but at 3 was just too strong. D draw to 2 some more, guess i wont see him for awhile
Raiza - Ah... abit late siah... How many people use this now. But then now we have graveyard of ancient crap etc, so yes, I forsee monarch diehards returning
Green Baboon - At 2.....
Edit: Still pending confirmation, but from checking several sites, I believe the new ruling is you cannot sp summon when beasts die of battle, only by effects, so... Throw!
D Draw - Hmmm, 5 million years later.....
Gold Sarcaphagus - Previous ban list was like a ... You survived 2 turns against undead synchro? Cool! Well, something like that. Either way, who even plays 1?
Allure of Darkness - As expected. Well 1 less draw engine for BF
Ultimate Offering - I can see it now... 1st turn cover offering end turn. 2nd turn open black whirlwind, summon any BF and begin OTK session. Delta reverse kill back field, woohoo! Machiam pumped up version of the previous gadget + offering combo
Mind crush - Hmmmm. Did not expect this back. Good for the monarch players i suppose?
Unrestricted
Manticore - Weee, COSR combo for Exodia! Wait, COSR to 1? (Flings out window)
Twin Head Behemoth - Wah, can use 3! Wait, only 1 of them can use effect since effect is per duel? (Next fling out window)
Phantom of chaos - Cool, 3 for the win! Eh, all the stuff it usually copies (DAD) just kenna restriction. (Window outside getting dirtier)
Book of moon - Oooo, 3 can stop synchro better! Wait a sec, did I even use 2? (Its piling up!)
Nobleman of crossout - Wah retro siah, must test! Erm, does anybody even cover face down, or more like recently i got survive over 1 turn? (NEA is called in to clear the mess)
And there you have it, this is DS's view on the ban list! Kinda weird nothing entered forbidden list this time round but something refreshing i guess. And yes, I promise to post again soon after some brainstorming on ban list with my deformers. Meanwhile, time to clear the mess outside my window before I get fined!

While waiting for the banlist....
You tend to get bored. Playing the same old deck that might just die a week from now. Making a new deck gets your creativity going, even though the next week your deck might just get axed too.
As for now, I am playing Deformer deck that I have to play secretly otherwise I would attract the constant remarks from DS on how I should properly play them. Yes half the time I don't know what the hell amI doing but spamming the field is a little amusing. And besides, I don't see anything involved in a deformer deck going into the list anytime soon.
Another deck that I am trying out is Power Tool and Plants. Using Power Tool to search Seal of Rose and Seal of Heritage every turn is pretty crazy =/
And of course black feathers, it seems that if you played really alot of "Sure to win" you will alot of BF cards, so I think everyone should have one! Honestly, the only card that is overpriced is Sirroco, and the deck don't even need it. The rest is pretty much Dark Armed and Allure which almost everyone have! Until people start jacking up the commons too =/
Random: Sure To Win also commonly known as Suay to win is a game we play whenever a new booster is out. Basically we buy a box, open them up, pick randomly till no more packs are left. Whoever gets the foil pays for a fraction of the box money. Of course the amount for each rarity has to add up to the box money. Sometimes it is good when there is holo since every foil will be cheaper. And good for those who just wants to get commons and rare, as good as free. Unless you are Suay and get foil!
Random 2: I got my 5th Ultimate Rare Aslla Piscu from the above today wtf wtf! Pain..
Random 3: Have you ever guessed what are the foils that you might get from a fresh box? Well Today I did and I guessed correct!
I guessed
- 2 different earthbound Gods
- Trident Dragion
- Forbidden Chalice
- Sea Dragon thingy
- Core Chimair Valavar
Which is basically the most horrible combination you can get in a box LOL! Oh Sam bought the box, not me =)
Edit: I realise getting Rockstone Warrior instead of Chalice would make it worse! But I guess it didn't come into mind at that time.
Sorry Sam. Please don't stalk me!

Raging Battle damage report.
Ok so it is finally here and full spoilers should already be up by now. Haven't really looks through the list.
So today spent about 100 and so far I got ok cards =/
HR Power Tool Dragon
UT Power Tool Dragon
UR Power Tool Dragon (traded away for steven's lousy Trident)
UR Explode Wing Dragon
UT Explode Wing Dragon
UT Aslla Piscu x3 (Time to play this, its a calling)
UR Ccapac Apu
SR BF Pitch Black Elfen
SR Core Chimair Power Hand
SR Forbidden Holy Cup
SR Core Chimair Varavar
And a stack of commons. Oh well, at least got holo. Yesh for 5d's Holo collection ^^
Many great cards to slow the meta now.
Here are some good cards that you might wanna consider keeping.
Trapart
- Crazy good when used to summon Goyou Guardian! Almost guaranteed monster unless of course you get bottomless.
Core Chimair Power Hand
- Metabeat love.
Enhanced Human Psycho
- A 4 star 2500 beat stick, no complains!
Mirror of Curse Words
- This owns GB, Diabolic, Lonefire, Teleport and possibly Rescue Cat. What more can you ask!
Swallow Return
- Hmm, more GB hate.
Grave of the Ancient Living
- Crazy good. But of course that is in the current meta, once meta changes to beatdown, this will probably be worthless. Refer to above.
See how Konami is trying to psycho you to play crazy beatdown deck!
I am purposely skipping Black Feather stuff coz it did not require anymore advertisement.
I wonder if I should play Deformers, I've had enough of people going "I am going to play a BF deck!" and I don't wanna be one of them =(
