Sum Keen observationing

Hi there.

So today I went to play for the first time in a while. First time in new format.

Most importantly, first time since Book of Moon got limited.

One thing I noticed about my plays since Book got limited.

People tend to use it less in stopping attacks.

In the deck I used today, I prefered much more versatile plays, and only resorted to touching Book of Moon if it was a last resort.

Stopping Synchros? Rageki Break discarding DAD rather than Book.

Stopping attacks? I didnt have a Monarch but still dropped Fader.

Have you noticed a change in your own usage of Book?

I just thought it was interesting.

The less of something you know you have, the more valuable it becomes.


An update on the earthquake.

We have heard back from all of our team members in Japan. All but one of us are unaffected by the Tsunami's and Earthquakes.

One of friends (Daiquiri) was admitted to the hospital. We await details. Hes probally ok.

As a group, Team Alcoholic Beverages is preparing at least 50,000 yen to donate to Earthquake recovery.

Please consider giving your monetary support to the cause of your choice.

(If theres any misunderstanding, no, we arent taking money from you guys. We're putting money together by ourselves, and I'm simply suggesting you do the same if you can)

After all, Yugioh does come out of Japan, and no recover = no new cards. :P

Earthquake

Most of us and our families are alive and well.

On behalf of all of us here at Only the Duel, thanks for your concerns.

Keep on supporting the rescue efforts.

Battle Step

Declare attack!

During battle step. Activate Hope's effect.

"Sorry hoped I could trip a mirror force or something"

Thats all for today.

Sin Claw Stream

You can search it out with Sin World, you know.

So if youre hanging around with a Sin Dust on the field, just search out these, and let them rip!

Revise Dragon

So the only way it can get to the "Rival's 3000ATK Dragon" status is by staying alive... for two turns...

Yeah, it doesnt lose its attack at end phase!

Oh yeah. First ever poster Water monster. Interesting trivia.

Exceed

So they have drawbacks when they run out of bullets.

Hopefully most of the exceeds dont get too powerful, such as Brionac, Trishula, etc etc.

I think ease of summoning is the main reason why most of the Exceeds so far... well... suck.

Hope

Hope can negate your OWN attacks too, keep that in mind.

Whilst it wont work against Mirror Force, it helps against Dimension Prison.

And without Exceed Materials, the self destruction effect goes on a chain, so opening a Skill Drain works well.

Thats all for today.
