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.

Tech Genus Discussion

So i kind of got tired of playing  six sams and I wanted another deck to play that actually takes a little mind to play so i choose tech genus and after testing out the deck I really want to make it, also since I bought a box of extreme victory and pretty much pulled everything I need to build the deck so yeah I am building tech genus. I was trying alot of different things in my build and I just decided to go with 5the mob and play the plant engine with 3 tengus. I feel kind a bad since I wanted to make it my own but that build just seems so much better compared to the control one. So i tested them both out and yeah with libararian legal the plant tech genus build is really good. But if libaraian gets banned then i will probably take out the plant engine ( or maybe not since that engine just puts in so much work) Also I like the deck because it has it's own creature swap which is real nice. It kind of gives it that control aspect without it actually being control. Right now I like it better than d prision beacuse d prision is dead most of the time with shien and I love taking a kristia or hyperion against faries. I really did want to play 3 d prision but oh well you can't have everything. I fell like I am playing back in the days of old when I switch control of one of my tg's and I destroy it so isearch for another tg, such a simple yet effective stratgety lol! So that is really all I have to say I am probably going to do a post on nats tomorrow, but If I am busy then good luck to everybody going to nats, i would come but my family is going on vacation on the same day nats are happening and the bottom line is plane tickets are expensive!

Dueling network Madness

Srry for the lack of posts but I just wanted to do a short post on when i was on dueling network last night. So I was playing my tech genus deck (decklist up soon as well as six sam) against some fortune lady deck and this guy had  a decent rating around the 250-300 range I know that that's not that much but it's enough so that you at least know the rules of the game. So I hyave two tokens from dandy and a level 4 spore, he has fortune lady wind on the field and 2 backrows and a decree face up. I summon rush rhino and he activates torrential i am like no way you can't do that beacuse you have decree and he's like yes i can It negates only my opponents traps not my own. WHAT? So I explain to him that it negates all other traps on the field and he's like well okay, then i continue my turn and I have to explainn every little thing to him, like why I drew 2 cards because I had a libabrain on the field and I summoned a formula. All in all is the most pain I have ever experienced while on dueling network. On the bright side i won (thank god.) That's all for today expect a very late YCS recap and a few decklists later on this week.

Just a little disscussion

So I have a little discussion on reborn tengu. Why did konami make this card, did they not see that librian took over in the ocg and so konami relaeses this card just to make libriraian format worse. i know that i am a little late top the party about ranting on this card but this card is just not healthy for the game. At least in the ocg they did not have tengu and that shows as alot of different decks top and they are in libararian format so it shows that the ocg has a healthy game. But nats this year in the TCG is going to be just the nuts. So let me get this straight we have trish at 3 libaraian at 3 AND tengu at 3, plants are so good. The worst part about it is that tengu is a TCG exclusive so it likely will not be hit on the ban list. Konami please stop releasing such sacky cards and if you do please correct your mistake. Also one more rant can the people who cover the YCS's in the western hemisphere and the people who update the yugioh-card website please have a lesson in web managing 101 as I gave the people who covered YCS orlando credit they got the decklists up faster but know they have taken 2 steps backward and not updated that coverage. Also it gets on my nerves when i see products like dp crow and dp collection tin and they still say coming soon what? They have been out for almost a month know! But for the coverage team that covers the YCS's over in Europe good job you take pictures, are fast at updating and they just write the feature matches like they actually play the game so kudos to them, they should have more YCS's in europe.
Quick side note I was buolding a balckwing deck but decided against it as I think they are too slow against the other decks out there and there are better control decks like GB's or GK's. Also I am revamping my six sam deck to be able to keep up with librarian so that decklist is coming soon. Oh and also the blog is going through some subtle changes so be on the look out!

YCS Providence: Agent discussion

So yes I am starting my YCS discussion for providence I have not been able to do this for other YCS's because of laziness/finals. But alas I finally decided to muster the mental capacity to do this ( I make it sound so hard to push keys on a keyboard).
So agents alot of my friends at locals were having a discussion about them and I joined in. There was alot of talk about them being the next dragunities one YCS and ya done. I think that statement is half right. They will get a good amount of tops this YCS as they are new and not alot of people will have done extensive playtesting against them and they have decent support. But then we fast forward to nats and they start to lose power, no longer do they have the surprise factor that they had and people know how to play against the deck. Kinda like when gk's won that YCS (i think atlanta?) because they had the surprise factor, sure they do top still but they have never won again. But this is a discussion about the YCS so yes I think that Agents will have a good showing at YCS providence and top quite a bit. i don't think that agents are going to win though as I have predeicted the winner wrong of a YCS every single time as people with random decks always win but who knows maybe that will change. i personally have playtested against agents on DN(which is other rant i will get into in another post) and six sam have a decent matchup against them, they can easily outspeed them but hyperion is a very easy out to shien so agents boss monster is better but sams have more speed. The only other deck I have playtested agents with is blackwings and they have a fair matchup as icurus really hurts icurs should so be at 3. so i kinda got off track but i hoped this helped.
