Heavy Storm

Seems to be on everybody's 2011/3 Banlist predictions...

Maybe we just havent figured out how to deal with the backrow wars?

Maybe people should learn that Malevolent Catastrophe is still at 3?

Are we just afraid of change?

Actually I totally agree with you banned Storm is stupid.

Aite. One last time before I reveal the answer, go over the puzzle and try it one last time!


Opponent:
Field: Five Headed Dragon face up ATK, Five Headed Dragon face up ATK, Face Up Ground Collapse
Hand: Machine Emperor Wizel Infinity, Gorz the Emissary of Darkness
Deck: 11(top card Burial From a Different Dimension)
Life: 5300
Graveyard contains no monsters.

You:
Hand: Foolish Burial, Junk Synchron, Mind Control, One for One
Field: Facedown Limit Reverse
Deck: 5(Top Card: Monster Reborn, Bottom Card: Chaos Sorcerer)

Graveyard: Pot of Avarice, Pot of Avarice, Pot of Avarice, Dark Hole, Burial From a Different Dimension, Different Dimension Revival, Different Dimension Revival, Different Dimension Revival,

Extra Deck: 10
Life: 1200

It is currently the Standby Phase of your turn.
Deal precisely 5300 Damage to the opponent this turn.
Alternatively, reduce the opponent's deck to 0 Cards
The RFP and Graveyard gives you a hint as to what cards CANNOT be used.
Yes, this means you CANNOT abuse Formula Synchron to draw up your deck(boo hoo. Cry more.)
If you draw, the first card will be Monster Reborn, and the last card in your deck will be Chaos Sorcerer.
Unless, of course, you decide to shuffle your deck via Foolish burial. But who would do that?
For the most part, cards in the RFP zone cannot be summoned back.
The solution will not depend on luck.



All right, for all of you who could not figure it out, here is how you turn a Junk Synchron into a triple-five-god-dragon-obliterating force.

You dont.

Most people got the first few steps right.
Open with your foolish. Dump Cross Porter, and search...

Glow Moss.

Mind Control one Five God Dragon.

Normal Summon Junk Synchron, and activate its effect.

Activate Cross Porter effect. Send Five God Dragon to the graveyard, to special summon Glow Moss. Its effect is negated, so you do not special summon glow moss.

Synchro into Hyper Librarian.

Throw Moss for One for One. Special Summon Spore @.@

Your deck is now 2 cards. Limit reverse Glow Moss, and Synchro a Armory Arm.

Now, remove Glow Moss for Spore, special summoning him as level 4. Synchro them together for Scrap Dragon.

Draw both your cards. Your hand is now: Chaos Sorcerer, and Monster Reborn.

Play Monster Reborn for Junk Synchron, and Synchro him with Librarian to form an Infernity Death Dragon.

With Armory Arm as the Light, and Junk Synchron as the Dark, special summon Chaos Sorcerer.

Using Infernity Death Dragon's effect, and Scrap Dragon's effect, destroy the 2 Five God Dragons. The opponent will drop Wizel.
2500 Damage from Infernity Death Dragon's effect

Use Chaos Sorcerer's effect to remove from play Wizel.

Scrap Dragon is now the only monster available to attack. Direct attack for game.

2800 + 2500 = 5300 Damage.

In bold was the key move I was trying to convey this time around.

Thats all for today.

Sin Rainbow Dragon

So Sin Rainbow Dragon solves the problem that Sin Red Eyes/Sin Blue Eyes had: The targets coming to hand.

So lets see what each Sin Dragon has that no other sin Dragon Has

Sin Blue Eyes: Removes From Deck, and is Level 8(Sin Paradox Dragon!)

Sin Rainbow Dragon: Removes from Hand OR Deck, but is level 10(NO Sin Paradox Dragon)

Sin Cyber End: Ok Just plain amazing. Removes from Extra deck, hence eating up no main deck space, but is level 10.

Sin Stardust: Removes from Extra deck, is level 8, but is ONLY 2500ATK

Sin Red Eyes: Can Synchro with Level 1s... >.>

Sin Truth: Err... Sin + Dragon but still not a classic Sin Dragon

Sin Paradox: Same thing.



Thats all for today.

/Rauzes

Triple Librarian

A lot of decks can summon 3 Librarians in 1 turn.

Its quite powerful, drawing 3 every time some synchro hits the field.

But what you dont realize is that by doing so, regardless of advantage

You just gave the opponent a whole new win Condition.

Librarian's draw is compulsary, so lining up 3 of them will mean if the opponent can make a few Synchro summons, regardless of how massive your hand is by the end of the day, you can be drawn to death.

Thats all for today.

Good luck! Think hard!


EDIT:
First and foremost, I realized an error I did in calculations. YOUR Life has been changed from 2400 to 1200.

To make things significantly simpler, 1 Five Headed Dragon on the opponent's field has been dropped. Not sure why you couldnt get rid of it anyhows. You have resources to get rid of all 3 AND Wizel AND Gorz.
Anyhows, if you can figure out how to kill the opponent, try with 3.

DO NOT FORGET that Gorz can be dropped in response to a burn... to burn you back(and hence kill you on your turn)
That means that Infernity Death Dragon to burn Wizel is one of the things that will not happen... OR IS IT?

Just to clarify, yes, in response to Infernity Death Dragon burning the last card on the field, you CAN drop BOTH Wizel and Gorz. They will form a chain to be special summoned. Then Gorz will try to kill you via burn.

To Clarify:
NO You CANNOT be reduced below 0LP or draw after having 0 cards in the deck. It would be really wonderful to win, but you really need to learn how to win BEFORE losing. So, if you lose before you win... its not valid.

The remaining 3 cards of the deck can be anything you want(so long as its legal and it isnt in the RFP zone already).
Similarly, the 10 cards in your extra deck can be anything legal you want.

If you shuffle the deck, the order of cards will be changed. However, if you draw something, you must either ensure you draw/mill a certain card before you can claim to have it.
EG: If I burial a level 3 monster, limit reverse it, and then synchro out brionac, somehow generate a draw 1 card, I will have 1 more card in the hand to discard, BUT I cannot use the card, because its not 100% that I drew... lets say Monster Reborn. I can "discard card I drew"

Yes, Ground collapse has been used on two of YOUR zones.

Your opponent is not stupid. He will negate a Mind Control on Wizel.
Your opponent is also not retarded. He will not negate a Mind Control on Wizel if you have 3 monsters on the field, and Ground collapse is still alive.

IF your deck is at 0 Cards, and you Synchro summon with a Librarian on the field, you will lose.

In your solution, please state the 3 other cards in the deck, if you are calling upon all of them.

DO Look up FGD's effect. It will not die to massively powered up Gigantech Fighter

If you mill 12 cards off the opponent's deck, even if you are at 200 life and 0 cards in the deck, you will win(because the opponent will lose at the start of the next turn)

HINT:
Most cards you play you only play for a certain number of its effects. Try looking at ALL of them.

Use the effects you cared existed.
(Like Ancient Fairy being able to special summon cards from your hand)
(Yes it has a stupid special summon effect >.>)
On a completely unrelated note, Ancient Fairy Dragon is LIGHT. You know, for those who didnt know it exists.

And there is ONLY ONE incredibly amazing omg wtf move that I'm trying to make people see. After that, the rest is rather simple and straightforward.

Keep in mind that you ideally should be able to get rid of 3 Five Headed Dragons, not just 2...

So why do you main deck Wizel?

So, recently,

it has come to my attention that in some circles

"Because it is AWESOME"

Is NOT valid justification for running at least 1, most of the time two, Machine Emperor Wizel Infinity's in every single of my decks.

(yeah. Hilarious. I know.)

Before people start commenting that it is a completely valid and acceptable justification, for the sake of the people who disagree, I will try to list out all the reasons why you should at the very least, give it a try.

First and foremost, it is AWESOME.

Whilst Spells and Traps have to be set one turn in advance, Wizel can be dropped from the hand after a destruction, meaning that most times, the opponent will not have even considered the possibility.

This also means that the play of Mirror Force/Torrential Tribute/Dark Hole/Whatever else there is that was SUPPOSED to throw the momentum of the game in the player's favor... suddenly just did the opposite.

Wizel's effect of being able to suck in Syncros is a very welcome bonus.

Not only does it more or less heavily discourage Syncro summoning, similarly to Hyper Librarian, if and when it does succeed in sucking in a Syncro, its attack will. be. massive.

Regardless of where you come from, 2500 + Somewhere around 2400-2800(where the ATKs of the most commonly used Synchros fall nowadays) is a problem.

A very painful problem. Only made worse by the fact that you just lost a Syncro... before its attack.

Do keep in mind that Wizel has a 2500DEF stat to reckon with. It doesnt die so easily to two books of moon, unlike most other monsters.

You can always just book it yourself to cover for an incoming Gale, or something else equally pitiful against Wizel... you know if you didnt have an Effect Veiler to provide some nice backup.

Wait. TWO Books?

Oh right. If Wizel wasnt good enough already, he can negate spells.

For. Free.

What other vaguely usable cards has a similar effect?

True Six Samurai Shie... that doesnt get eaten up by Wizel the next turn?

None.

So through at least one battle and spell negation alone, Wizel generates quite the advantage by itself. An additional potential +1 if you're staring down some Syncros.

So. Whats the drawbacks?

There are two drawbacks to Wizel that make it "balanced"

But no less AWESOME.

First, it doesnt allow other monsters to attack.

So what? I wouldnt overextend with this bad boy on the field. And I'm pretty sure you wont either.

If anything maybe throw down a Raiou next to him just for the fun of it.

The second is its summoning condition.

Having a monster be destroyed and sent to the graveyard might SEEM hard to achieve... until you start thinking outside the box.

Chances are, that in YOUR deck, you're running at least 4 to 5 cards that do exactly this for you. You just never noticed it.

Torrential and Dark Hole, of course, but also Scrap Dragon, Zeradias, and Limiter Removal can also be used in this way!

Thats about it for today.

Did I mention IT IS AWESOME?

Convert Contact is awesome.

It sets up Elemental monsters for E Hero Fusions.

Instant Chaos Sorcerer or Frost and Flame Dragon.

So why not just push through a bunch of draw cards, and if you can assemble an OTK through some Chaos Sorcerers, Frost and Flame Dragon, Synchroing through said monsters, and Elemental Hero Fusions, drop it down?

D.D.R. Sets up some Neos Contact Fusions, as well as generating some Synchro material and/or calling back Neos himself just to beat face.

GS2011

Just curious why Fires of Doomsday is anyhow a "Widely used and highly sought after card"

Thats all for today.

During Training

Call it practice or free play or whatever you will.

A lot of people during free play tend to roll off or try to go first.

Which isnt really conducive, if you think of it.

If you go second, you start the game at a disavantage, because the opponent has set spells and traps to mess you up.

However, in training, it doesnt matter if you win or lose, only that you learn and improve afterwards.

So, during free play, why are you trying to go first?

Whilst it is important to learn how to open, and not completely reveal more or less your entire decklist before the opponent even draws, its harder to play the uphill battle.

Hence, if you know how to play uphill, you can learn the other way around much easier.

Thats all for today.

So I love summoning lots and lots of Librarian.

I'm sure you do too.

It is awesome.

So yes, it does look a lot like most semi competitive Blackwing decks.

The main difference being that its tweaked to summon Librarian.

A. Lot.

The reason we run 2 mistral is that our main power is in Blizzard pulling Kalut into Librarian, followed by a Blizzard pulling Mistral for 2 synchros(and subsequent 2 draw).

Summon Shura, pull a Mistral, and summon Spell Striker. Make Librarian.

So you can trishula the opponent?

I dont care. Make a librarian.
(Actually this leaves Shura on the field and hence if youre holding a Kalut/Setting a Icarus/Both, its a very good choice)

Why is "But... Librarian!" such a good justification for bad plays?
