Blackwing deck update

So I am still on vacation and I am posting this from my phone so I will keep it short. So as you know I am rebuilding b wings because they are my favorite deck. Just a random fact b wing decks are very cheap as the only money card ( pod) is getting reprinted. Anyways I was testing some cards and I found out that deck devistation virus is amazing. I have been testing this card for a few weeks and as long as monsters are little in atk this card is good. That's all for today.

Pod reprint

Wow so pod is getting reprinted in both tins and so is simorgh and gaia, good thing I sold my simorghs. I have a pretty good feeling about the pod reprint because scrubs who use this card are still scrubs if they can't play good.
Expect to see a rise in decks that play pod like gravekeepers among others. I am posting this from my phone so that is all.

Just a little blog update

So nats are tomorrow so for the final time good luck, but what i am really here to say is that from july 5th through july 15th I will be on vacation so expect little to no posts in that time span. I can upload new posts from my phone but it takes alot longer than a traditional keyboard, plus the quality of posts go down since they are so short. But nevertheless I might still updatde the blog from time to time. But when I come back I promise to talk a bit about the upcoming banlist and set previews from generation force so thanks to all my readers and see you all in about 10 days or so.

Six Sam deck update

Hey guys so today i have my six sam deck, despite how much hate I give it saying that I am bored with it and everything, six sams are still my favorite deck of the format so with out any further ado here it is.

Monsters: 13
3 kageki
3 kagemusha
3 kizan
2 elder
1 grandmaster
1 hand

Spells: 19
3 united
3 smoke signal
3 actestism
2 upstart
2 mst
1 dojo
1 gateway
1 reborn
1 rota
1 book

Traps: 9
3 dest
2 warning
1 judgement
1 mirror force
1 opression
1 fiendish chain

So as you can see I use the actestism engine which as long as I play six sams I will use because it just gives the deck alot more options than it had before. There were only a few times that it was ver a dead card and allows me to go into first turn shien quite reliabliy. Not only that but elder is actually a very good card by itself and with it you can actually go for level 8's quite alot, so overall the actesiscm engine just gives me more options. The deck is 41 cards but with the two upstarts they make it a 39 card deck so you could actually add another card in the deck in order to make it 42 but the upstarts will bring the count down to 40. The lone dojo is there just beacuse of extra consistency and it turns sometimes bad hands into good ones, and it game 2 allows me to side one more dojo and squire to combat the chain disappearences. Lastly fiendish cahin is there just beacuse it is such a good utility card. Thanks for reading!

Rabbits, Viruses, nationals, oh my! And konami being smart OH MY!

I like the movie refernce I did, anyway back on topic, yes as you can see from my creative title (or not) I am talking about 4 things First Rescue Rabbit! WEll where do i start, oh yea by saying that this card is balanced. The card requires 2 normal monsters which there aren't many good ones, the first thing that came to mind was HEROS but then I read up on other archtypes and sabers and GB's are also good picks. The thing that makes this card balanced is that you need to  run 3 rescue rabbit and 3 normal monsters which takes up 6 slots and if you get off 1 rescue rabbit in a duel that means that you have 2 dead cards in your deck. This takes up space for possible tech choices. Unless you run pot of avarice you can't take advantage of the other 2 copies in your deck. Now I am not saying that this card is not good but what i am saying is that it takes thought on what the correct number is and waht to do with it if it is dead, which is a challenge that i am sure some duelist will overcome and every duelist will follow suit. But in all of the before mentioned decks I would run this card beacuse it provides and instant exceed. So konami gets one smart pointy for actually making a card balanced.

Second is tribe shocking virus which is also a much better version of tribe infecting virus. First you must banish the card, second the effect can only be used once per turn. I can definatley see this card being used as a solid tech choice or a staple in antimeta decks just beacuse of the control it gives across the board. But I really think that this card is a great side card as it gives you the good matchup against all of the mono type decks out there. Lets name a few: six sam, gk, bw( I know that they are not that popular but hey it works), and all of the other rouge type  mono decks out there. Also you can use the banish'd card to your advantage in HEROS by using the shining. So know konami has 2 smart points
Third is nationals. I will not doing an in depth review, wait I will here it goes. Anything that spams tengu and libaraian=WIN. Six sam=Good, Agents=Solid choice, GK's=So So choice. There is my in depth review, hoped you liked how much work I put into it (:

So to wrap this up konami is actually being smart, very surprising i know and i might actually think they know what they are doing provided we get a decent banlist and not some off the wall who desinged this thing I quit banlist lol. So good luck to everyone who are going to nationals and use my in depth review for a guide to nationals lol.
