Budget Deck #1 - Quick Infernity

Hi everyone! It's me, fireowners again and I will be writing about some decks that I have been testing with. The pros of these decks are that they are mostly cheap decks which do not need a large amount of cash to make, and is immensely fun to play with. NOTE: Not really suitable for competitive play!!

SO HERE WE GO!!!

Quick Infernity: Total 40 cards

Monsters(21)
3x Infernity Beetle
2x Infernity Mirage
1x Infernity Reloader
1x Infernity Revenger
2x Infernity Necromancer
3x Quick Synchron
2x Level Eater
2x Bolt Hedgehog
1x Sangan
1x Armageddon Knight
1x Dark Grepher
1x Necro Gardna
1x Zombie Carrier

Spells(12)
1x Allure of Darkness
1x Heavy Storm
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Brain Control
2x Instant Fusion
2x Book of Moon
2x Nihilistic Purgatory
2x Infernity Gun

Traps(8)
2x Raigeki Break
2x Phoenix Wind Wing Blast
1x Mirror Force
1x Call of the Haunted
1x Torrential Tribute
1x Infernity Break




The main combo of this deck is to use the Infernity engine to enable quick synchro summons with monsters such as Bolt Hedgehog and Level Eater. Another combo that this deck is able to pull off is to synchro summon Drill Warrior, using its effect to empty your hand, as well as keep reusing monsters such as Infernity Necromancer and Infernity Mirage....

Another version of this deck involves using the zombie engine instead of the Synchrons to pull of massive synchro stuns. The zombie varient is also able to pull off the triple Trishula stun, due to Zombie Master, Mezuki and Book of Life..


Anyway, this deck is a fun deck to play around with if you want to try out using Infernity but you do not have Infernity Archfiend, which is the core of the usual Infernity deck.

This concludes my post on the new Infernity budget decktype. I hope you had enjoyed it and try it out!! :):)

Stay tuned for the next blog post, coming this weekend!

King of Fighters Tournament at Khatib CC 07/02/2010

Today, I attended the KOF tournament at Rick's shop. And sad to say, me and my teammates scrubbed, ending the day with a score of 2-2....

My teammates were Sazabi and Starsky. The order of players was me, Sazabi then Starsky.

Me(Gladial Eatos)
Sazabi(Toothless Gladiators)
Starsky(Lightlords)

1st Round: We had a bye due to an odd number of teams attending.
(1-0)

2nd Round: VS Jacky, Xiao Mei and Bao Chun
Game 1: Me(Gladial Eatos) VS Jacky(Lightlords)
I managed to start the game with a Guardian Eatos on the field, along with a Dimension Fissure, locking him down.. Soon after, I managed to gain control.

Game 2: Me(Gladial Eatos) VS Xiao Mei(Gladial Beasts)
After using Starlight Road on her Gladial Beast Gyzarus, I managed to maintain control and won soon after.

Game 3: Me(Gladial Eatos) VS Bao Chun(Vayu Turbo)
This was the longest game of the match. After exchanging blows for a couple of turns, he managed to get me down to 1300 LP. But I managed to mount a comeback with Dimension Fissure and Guardian Eatos.
(2-0)

3rd Round: VS Colin(Flamevell Buster), Kenneth(Magoneko) and Mango(Whirlwind BF)
Game 1: Me(Gladial Eatos) VS Colin(Flamvell Eatos)
He had me in a tight spot when he managed to bring out Ancient God Flamvell, and start to beat me down with it. However, I managed to turn the tables around after he used up all of his Rekindlings, thus leaving me with an opening to finish him off.

Game 2: Me(Gladial Eatos) VS Kenneth(Magoneko)
I was killed by Magoshinju Unicor..... Its is freaking strong. True story.

Game 3: Sazabi(Toothless GB) VS Kenneth(Magoneko)
Sazabi managed to bring Kenneth down after a long battle..... Didn't really remeber the details.

Game 4: Sazabi(Toothless GB) VS Mango(Whirlwind BF)
Somehow or another, he got pwned......

Game 5: Starsky(Lightlords) VS Mango (Whirlwind BF)
Bad draws, bad mills and double Necro Guardna opening hand caused Starsky to end up in defeat..
(2-1)

Round 4: VS Sam,Max and Akira (Whirlwind BF)
Game 1: Me(Gladial Eatos) VS Sam(Whirlwind BF)
Died.... Just died due to him having too many monsters

Game 2: Sazabi(Toothless GB) VS Sam(Whirlwind BF)
Again, just died............

Game 3: Starsky(Lightlords) VS Sam(Whirlwind BF)
Somehow, Starsky managed to defeat Sam..

Game 4: Starsky(Lightlords) VS Akira(Whirlwind BF)
Lost to the powerful Akira....
(2-2)

After checking the standings, our team did not manage to get into the top 8.

After all, Yugimonz is a game which depends on both luck and skill.

Stay tuned for the next blog entry, a deck report about Ally Genex!!!

Deck Review: Creature from the ages long gone......

Hi everyone, today I got back my O level results and am quite satisfied with myself about it. (For those who don't know, O levels examinations are a series of exams that we Singaporeans have to take when we complete our secondary education.)

Anyway, back to topic. Today's post is about a archetype which is not widely played, but is extremely potent when played correctly. The archetype which I am talking is Juracs, which were first seen in the Japanese Duel Terminal sets. All of the Juracs are dinosaurs, and each of them have unique effects that are pretty devastating when pulled off against your opponents. Shown below is a example of a Jurac decklist.

Monsters:
3 Jurac Guivre
3 Jurac Deino
3 Jurac Vello
2 Jurac Galim
2 Jurac Herrera
1 Jurac Monolov
1 Jurac Auro
3 Hydrogeddon

Spells:
3 Fossil Dig
1 Heavy Storm
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
2 Book of Moon
3 Solidarity
1 My Body as a Shield
1 Lightning Vortex

Traps:
2 Fossil Excavation
2 Bottomless Trap Hole
1 Mirror Force
1 Torrential Tribute
2 Kunai With Chain
1 Call of the Haunted
1 Solemn Judgment

Extra:
3 Jurac Giganot
2 Jurac Meteor
1 Stardust Dragon
1 Red Dragon Archfiend
1 Black Rose Dragon
1 Ancient Fairy Dragon
1 Lightning Warrior
1 Goyo Guardian
1 Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Boundary
1 Gaia Knight, The Force of the Earth
1 Magical Andriod
1 Ally of Justice Catastor


Ok, the main focus of this deck is to continuosly summon out Jurac monsters using Jurac Guivre, as well as to synchro summon out a huge Jurac Giganot. Jurac Auro is there to aid in the summoning of Jurac Meteor, which gives this deck the power to clear the field at any given time, and futhermore, Meteor also provide field presence after clearing the field, something that Black Rose Dragon is unable to achieve. This deck also uses Solidarity to boost up the attack power of the monsters, thus giving this deck the ability to constantly spawn out massive monsters, which would spell trouble for the opponent. Hydrogeddon is added in because it is both a searcher as well as a Dinosaur, which enables it to be supported by all the Dino support cards added in this deck.

On to the spells. Dinos have their own RoTA on steroids in the form of Fossil
Dig, as it is not only able to add a Dino into your hand, but it is able to search out Dino monsters which is level 6 and below!! YES, U READ CORRECTLY, LEVEL 6 AND BELOW!! This means that you are able to search for Jurac Herrera and add it into your hand, for it to activate its special ability later on. The rest of the spells are self-explanatory, and most of them are staples in this format.

Finally, there are the traps. Dinos even have their own version of Call of the Haunted, at the mere cost of 1 hand card. Kunai with Chain is to provide extra power to my Juracs, as well as to protect the player from direct attacks from the opponent.

Here are the effects of the Jurac monsters if you don't know them.

Jurak Auro (DT07-JP027)

SAYONARA GAIJIN DUELIST!!!

We are sad to see that Rauzes is no longer going to blog about his creative ideas,his amazing decklists which has rocked the Yu-Gi-Oh world (Junk and Debris), as well as his brain-wrecking Duel Puzzles....

Over the years(Well, just maybe over ONE year), he has provided us with a blog where we can refer to when we need inspirations, as well as when we need new interesting decks to play around with...

We will really miss you Rauzes, and I hope that you will be able to come back to blogging soon!

Goodbye for now, my friend
