Holy Blog Update Batman!

Yeah I haven't updated in a while but...umm...can't think of a lame-ass excuse...damn it.

But yeah just need to give out a few updates and whatnot and some things I wanna do I guess.

Basically my Gigavise deck is a WHOLE lot better now that I've put the focus on plants and whatnot, it gives for a lot less situational cards and dead cards in my hand. I do have another idea for how to run the deck but I will need 3 Polymerizations, 3 Grasschoppers and maybe 1/2 cost downs for it to really be viable in my opinion. I had been running 1 Poly but with only 6 targets and I would much rather them in the graveyard and I need a Gigaplant on the field when Superalloy Beast Raptinus hits the field, it's not exactly helpful when I won't always have 3 Supervises in my hand and access to Lonefire or stuff in  the graveyard. The deck still needs a lot of playtesting and whatnot as I try and push it for more consistency and see how far it can go. Annoyingly most decks run so much destruction and removal hate that it's hard to keep the wheels moving. The OTK hasn't been occurring as much lately but with the fixes as seen above, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

NEXT.

In the process of building Gladiator Beasts because the deck is broken and whatnot. Though the only issue for me is getting a hold of the Fusions and Chariots and such. I'll worry about that later once I actually have a shape to the deck all figured out.

NEXT

Gold Series. Stardust. Prisma. Vice Dragon. Win.

Locals and Decks

Well I figured I may as well update before I head off to bed and whatnot. Yay for staying up til 1 AM. Woo.

Anyway, locals were today/yesterday and tbh I got horrible hands and really couldn't do that much.

Frogs with 4000 attack points hurt.

Infernities...yeah...Trip Mist Wurm Game, bounce everything blah

Blackwings, actually had a good match with Brad but...yeah I still lost

And beat a little kid who is annoying and ripped up a BOOK OF MOON. And two of the Glads from TU01. WHAT THE *EFF* GAH KIDS ANNOY ME

Anyways I won't go on too much of a rant. I would prefer sleep.

Gemini Plants is smeh but we'll see how it goes, it's an alright deck but really doesn't have the speed to compete with the meta and has ZERO control. Hence why I am loving Stardust Assault. Book of Moon x 3 is just so amazing. No Lonefire Blossom so theres an out for the Gemini Plants gone. Doomcal facedown, Stardust, blah blah blah. Not too mention most turns Stardust is out first turn and I have a one in 8 chance of pulling a card to get me an Assault Mode Activate in the first turn and those odds just get bigger and bigger as the game goes. I <3 the Flamvell Engine. Firedog is legendary.

Not as legendary as the Beasty Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode. Yay for a Solemn once per turn. Or two if I get them both out. If that happens....well...it really sucks to be you.

Si that'll do for now, I'm go sleep and do an online test when I wake up and then later on spend time with my beautiful girlfriend. Life would be great if I could win at locals a lil more. BLEH. Oh well. Ce la vie.

Peace

Epic Local Pre-Thing...Not Really

I'm now 18. Wooo. I'm totally not excited. Big deal. Just means I can call everyone kiddo now haha.

I was able to invest in new sleeves <3 and two tins which I pulled nothing from. :(

How very upsetting. 60 bucks for a Starlight Road and a Power Tool Dragon. I could've gotten two Tethys for that amount. Goddamn.

Anyways this is gonna be real short since I wanna sleep more. Because that's what I do before exams. SLEEP. Study is for chums.

Locals tomorrow, woo and stuff. Gonna be trying out Gemini Plants so we'll see how they go. Hopefully I don't get the junky hands I tend to get when I play at locals. And hopefully I don't end up playing kids or getting two byes again. Just horrible is what that is.

Yeah like I said real short. Birthday was good and stuff and yeah. I miss Biancca Eden. <3

Peace

Gold Series 3

Well it's all been confirmed. And holy tits did they make some great moves for me. NOVA SUMMONER in common. Love you Konami. My Perfection Fairies will be easier and cheaper to complete.

Also some other staples are coming in Gold Rare which is really nice, even though there a bagillion copies of MST floating around. Gold Smashing will be hot. Gold E-Con I was a little suprised with but they've got Mezuki and Plague so I guess there's some Zombie stuff in there? I dunno.

STARDUST DRAGON in all it's goldeny goodness. Won't be as hot as the Ghost or Ultimate versions but could be pretty sweet. Good for the people who couldn't buy the tins, or live in a card-game depleted town *aka me*. My Body will also be a really cool Gold as a lot of people run it and it's only been common until Turbo Pack 2 where it's only a rare. So this shines up a lot of decks.

Finally Icarus Attack. Excellent move I think. Blackwings are meta, people wanna run Blackwings the set has nearly every Blackwing you need minus Vayu and the TSHD ones. Might as well throw in their main support card. It means that even new players will buy this in cases, though veterans and everything in between will most likely buy these in cases. I know Matt will be due to the Dragons and other stuff he needs. I want Nova Summoners guys! I'll probably pull like 5 and not a D. Draw or Malicious knowing my luck. Oh well. Ce La Vie. Or something. My French is horrible.

Til next time, I need a better catchphrase.

Peace

Shitty shit at Locals

Bit late but whatever, I figured I'd post about locals. Apparently supposed to be a bigger tournament or something. Didn't attract much. Only 4 rounds. Wow how great. Doesnt leave room for ties at all. Two four way ties, one for second, one for third. Facepalm.

Anyways, besides me moaning about that let's get to the actual day. It was fucking freezing. 8 DEGREES CELCIUS. GODDAMN THAT SHIT. Though it will get colder. Layer up people. I needs gloves. Anyways. I was confident in Quickdraw. Kinda. It's not finished but it's mostly done. Apart from Mirror Force and Solemn and shit. Still. Good build.

WORST DAY EVER.

First match against Machina Gadgets, first time seeing them, love the deck, got hammered because guess what no monsters. Oh how great is that. I can really win without a Dandylion. Wrong. Just. Ugh. Blasted in 5 minutes max. That really pissed me off.

Second match was against Steven's mill deck. Hmm he mills and hits beatdowns. I run a lot of one for ones like Fissure. My main engine is a mill engine. FUCK. So I lost to Empty Jar. Go me. Sigh.

Third match was against Black-What? He was too busy playing WoW so he gave me a bye? Well sure okay. Really? Okay. Sure. Fourth match was against Light-What fuck? More WoW? FML. So I won via two byes and lost two games really fucking quickly. God fucking damn. Would've been the worst tournament ever if it weren't for prizes.

Two Hidden Arsenal Packs. First one. Shit. Second one. Oh look. Catastor. You've given me a return on my 20 entry fee. Kthx. And that my geminis are gonna be pretty sweet. Considering I destroyed Synchro Cat. Not just managed. DESTROYED. Gigaplant Swarm is epic. Oh what? You wanna D Prison my Gigaplant equipped with Supervise? GEMINI SPARK. Destroy whatever's left and MANDATORY special summon. Two best cards in the deck hands down. Anyways enough about that.

Birthday is in like 4 days now. Or 5. Whatever. I'm really not bothered. It's Thrsday. I get cards, hopefully I pull things to repay debts and stuff that I need for different things. Maybe I should buy some Duelist Genesis and try and pull a Goyo for Steve or a Stardust or a TRA. Meh. Maybes. Depends on what's going cheaply. I know I'm getting new sleeves. And the Yusei Folder that's sitting there calling out my name.

Deck on my mind for building:

Perfection Deck
Watt Deck
Yusei Turbo Deck
Core Gemini Deck
Psychic Deck (not so much)

Probably also building Froggy Beatdown for my brother. Yay for 2800 plus attack on top of everything else. Though Frogs are gonna get hit by the September Banlist. Oh well. Mass Driver was fun.

What else was I gonna say? Not much. OH. Epic Trades today. Goblin Zombie and...umm...Divine Knight Izshark for Phoenix Wing Wind Blast Gold, Honest, Herald of Orange Light, some other random thing, and something else I forget. Gold Series card was a steal. Traded Rose, Warrior of Revenge for a whole lot of Gemini Crap.Yay for getting more cards than what mine is actually worth.

Okay now I think I'm done. Probably. Yeah. No sudden remberance. Yes. I have shit I need to do tomorrow and I'm meeting with the woman at some point so doesn't matter anyway. I'll do something. Or something. Whatever.

Generic exiting stuff, tell someone if you know something, switched it up that time I'm good.

Peace

Real Post, Dimensional Eatos

http://gaffproductions.blogspot.com/2010/06/game.html

Because I'm cool and I really hate the game so I do it to annoy people. GAME GAME GAME. Get over it.

Anyways.

With the tourney tomorrow I'm in card game mode very much so and last night while I was YouTubing at like 4am I came across something that really tickled my fancy and that I've proxied up a deck for because I don't have basically every card for, or they're being used in my Quickdraw or GigaVise decks. It means my thought of getting another Dark Emperor is a very good idea because I get a lot of the cards I need for this deck, another bottomless, another torrential and most of all, another Caius. Anyways I'm getting a bit off topic here. Back to it.

Dimensional Eatos is what some are referring to as the king of Anti-Meta from what I've watched, MKohl40 has some videos of it, Pointlessness413 or something has a few good videos on it and ChrisIsSoPro or Ryan IsSoPro or a few other guys have got some D Eatos decks and ideas up. Anyways. Basically the deck has worked really quite well, did better against Quickdraw than GigaVise has, though GigaVise needs a lot of fixing.

Basically the deck uses Dimensional Fissure to keep the graveyard free of monsters so you can special summon Guardian Eatos. However, Dimensional Fissure also screws up Lightsworns, Dandylion, Zombies and every other deck that utilises cards in the graveyard. Rescue Cat can't activate, Charge can't activate anything that requires sending things to the graveyard doesn't work.

Along with that there is the Skill Drain and Royal Oppression set of continuous spells and traps. Negating effects on the field and having nothing in the graveyard is pretty nasty. I really like the fact that the deck runs a lot of 1900 beaters and that the E-Hero search engine plus the Gemini Spark engine gets you a lot of pluses.

I'll do a more detailed run through the deck at a later date after I've tested it with my mates and randoms at the tourney tomorrow before or between games, whatever works. We'll see how it goes. That's about all I really wanted to talk about really. Just been testing my decks today and hopefully my deck is the best it can be currently. It still needs some more cards, like Hamsters and Starlight Road and Foolish Burial but besides that I think that the deck is pretty good. We'll see how I go, again. Hopefully I get like more than three or four boosters, that way I get my money's worth back. To get a shitty pull most likely. Oh well what are you gonna do? Not much.

Anyways that's enough out of me. THE GAME.

If you know something, tell someone. I command you. srsly. Do it.

Peace
~!GaFF!~

The Game

You all lose.
