I'm a Stinky Liar, it seems.

Yeah I haven't done my essay yet and I've been on Facebook and MSN and YouTube all day. Oops. THOUGH. The essay is in better condition than it was last night as far as word count goes. Heh. Quality not so much. Here's hoping I can scrap up a good mark and that my tests can make up for it. *crosses fingers*

Centrelink issues again. How surprising. It seems that because Mum hasn't given them her info and stuff - which she HAS, she sent it - they find it acceptable to cut my youth allowance. Kay. How about a phone call. Or something. Lazy bastards. I pray for the poor person who gets to answer the phone and put up with Mother when she calls about it on Monday. Hopefully everything gets sorted out cos we kinda need that cash, and I need it especially for textbooks. Egh.

Anyways, I've been playing with QDW today and trying some different things. Should be fun. I'll have Caius, Stardust and...was that it...I forget...whatever I will have access to those cards soon. Epic win. Finally my deck will start looking agreeably good. Right now it's probably Tier B or something but with the few more adds with Drill Warrior (which is kinda mandatory :/), Caius and Stadust the deck will look and work a lot better. Woot.

DREV is where I start my Scrap Deck but I won't be able to build one until STBL comes out and the other support comes out. I'm thinking about building Amazonesses too but we'll wait and see. The countdown to my birthday and exams is going and my assignment count is decreasing. Yay. I wonder if my other CIS assignment has been marked. I shall check now. With that I'm out. Adios.

Peace

Assignment and First Deck Analysis

Hey guys and girls and those in-between, today has been sucky so far. Though I was asleep for most of it with animals being pains the entire time. I'm going to gut them soon. Seriously. CHOP! RAWR! Anyways, I'm nearly half way done with my crappy essay, woo go me, I totally rock. No not really. I'll get there soon. I guess. Tomorrow I'm gonna get the Warrior's Toolbox because I'm too lazy to do it today and I smell bad. I mean...screw it, yeah I smell bad. Anyways I've supposed to have been doing my assignment today and getting right into it...but...I was watching Bleach...oops. Oh well, I'll regret it later I assume. Though now I'm gonna do an amatuerish deck analysis. YAY. Go me.

First Deck on the chopping block is of course my deck, Quickdraw Dandy Warrior, Quickdraw Plants, whatever the hell you wanna call it. Now I did a minor thing about this last week but didn't really go into the deck extensively. That's what this is going to be, an extensive look at the deck. Yay.

Base/Core/Whatever

Here's the important stuff.
 - Quickdraw Synchron
 - Dandylion
 - Drill Warrior

These three cards are your win condition basically. Special Summon Quickdraw by discarding Dandylion and then you have Drill Warrior who can go straight to the LP and poke for 1200. Then Remove him by discarding whatever you like. Could be something beneficial that needs to be in the grave or whatever you don't need at the time. Then you bring Drill Warrior back during your turn and pick up Dandylion. Discard to remove after poking for 1200 and the cycle repeats itself. Not only is it annoying, within a few turns of the loop, you've taken a big chunk out of your opponents lifepoints.

Staples/Needed/Cool Stuff

Good stuff to put in the deck. Basically staples in any build.
 - Lonefire Blossom
 - Tytannial, Princess of Cammelias
 - Caius the Shadow Monarch
 - Light and Darkness Dragon
 - Sangan
 - Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter
 - Super-Nimble Mega Hamster
 - Debris Dragon

These cards will make up most of your monster count, depending on how much of them you have and how you want your build to run. Some of the card are basically self-explanatory and have obvious synergy with the Dandylion abuse. Tytannial can tribute a Fluff Token to negate targetting effects. Your field generally always has 1-3 tokens. Drill Warrior comes back and spawns some more. Though Lightning Vortex isn't blockable but Call of the Haunted is always good for that.

Caius is great, considering you're spamming tokens and removing from play works great against most decks. Possible 1000 burn and clearing the field is great as well. Generally you hit the monster and wait to get hit by the bottomless or d prison or whatever your opponent has so that way it's always a plus 1. Sangan searches Dandy or Quickdraw. Simples. Ryko is easy destruction and blows up back-fields. Recruited easily via Hamster. Debris Dragon for Iron Chain or Black Rose or Ancient Fairy or Stardust if you already have Token ready, which is generally the case. LADD is for denying your opponent's backrow, but needs to be played right otherwise it's gonna screw up.

Other Choices, New Ideas, What is this!

My Tech
 - Gale
 - Quillbolt
 - Level Eater

Some may say what the hell am I doing, why am I running that in DandyWarrior. Because I can bean. Let me explain. Gale is a permanent Shrink and can run over Stardusts. Plus. He's a level 3 tuner. Plus. He can bring out Blackwing Armor Master. Plus Plus Plus. Quillbolt Hedgehog is mainly something I'm putting in as an easy way to sycnhro shokan. The deck is more of a Yusei-Turbo kind of hybrid, but still works well. Using Quillbolt, Stardust is accessible without tokens and Junk Archer is easily grabbed if I drop a Quillbolt for Quickdraw. He's also great for summoning the new Synchro, Junk Destroyer, which is epic as hell. Level Eater is the same principle as Quillbolt, omnoming levels to summon Junk Warrior or whatever you like, getting more monsters for more Junk Destruction, etc.

Synchro Shokan

 - Stardust, usually x 3
 - Drill Warrior x 2, but you can survive with one
 - The Rest of the Warriors and Synchron Material stuff
 - Dragons
 - Staples ONLY if you're running another tech tuner but that is not normally the case, your main focus should be on Quickdraw Synchro or Dragon Synchro

Basic stuff, can only use Dragons with Debris and Synchron Materials with Quickdraw. If you don't have other tuners then you can't run Goyo or Brionac. Sorry. Have fun being Yusei.

Backrow Hate

This. Key stuff. You don't want your Drill Warrior dying. End of story. Duel gets harder if your Drill Warrior dies and you don't have the hand to come back or bring out another one. Dust Tornado, MST, Heavy Storm Wild Tornado, Rykos, whatever else you want to run, whatever it is, you need to be hating on their backrows. Get rid of the Bottomless and the D Prison and the Torrential and all that amazing stuff that will wreck you. Even if you have to remove Drill before attacking, I'd recommend it. Save it getting removed or your entire field destroyed. At the very least protect him before trying to run over stuff. Beware of Rykos. They're tech in every deck thesedays basically. Smashing Ground not so much since it should never be on the field during your opponents turn, if the deck as been played right.

Other S/T

 - Pot of Avarice
 - Foolish Burial
 - Starlight Road
 - Staples

PoA, recycle monsters and draw more. Foolish to dump Dandy or something you know you can get back and use. Starlight is becoming staple, it protects your staple traps and brings out Stardust for free. Epic win sir. And staples duh.

Hopefully this was decent and people can understand how Quickdraw Dandy Warrior works. Though I dunno how many people are actually going to read this. Oh well. That's life. Catch y'all later andstuff.

Peace

Oh no I missed a Day!!!!ONE11

Yeah I said I was gonna do it daily. I was going to. Honest. But Scrubs and Big Bang Theory are far more entertaining than being online and on facebook where no one will be talking and I'll just be sitting here on forums and stuff. And I had nothing interesting to talk about anyway. You know it's true. Believe it.

My bed was so comfy this morning though the sound of whiny animals ruined that and I ended up getting not enough sleep as I should have gotten. Bloody figures. Stupid animals. Especially when I actually do get up you just go to sleep on the couch! Fine! Don't appreciate my company! And then they make noise for food, eat and then just run off. Go find your own food! Unlike you I don't sleep for 18 hours a day. Hmph!

Anyway enough of my whining.

Thanks to the brilliance of my home town, Starter Deck 2010, Warrior's Toolbox comes in TOMORROW! Booyah! Junk Destroyer here I come. Then in three weeks is Gold Series, which is something I wanna go into a little bit, and how awesome I'm feeling it is.

New Gold Rares: Gale and Smashing Ground. Epic. Win. I would love copies of these and no Matt, I'm not letting you have my Gold Rares, unless its some Dragon or Infernity I don't want. Gale is definitely going to be sexy in gold rare. I'm thinking about trying to build an Amazoness Deck if it can end up being competitive or anything. Whatever works.

What I wants:
Armor Master
Armed Wing
Smashing x 3
Gale
Plaguespreader
Thunderking Rai-Oh x 3
Infernity Archfiend/Vice Dragon for Matthew.

Though I dunno how easy it will be to get them all, taking into account my luck of pulls. We'll see how I go. Hopefully people feel nice and give me moneys for my birthday. Yay moneys.

Anyways I'm getting bored so you probably are too, I'll start posting deck profiles when I'm in the mood. Yay.

Peace
~!GaFF!~

I'm One Lazy Mother Humper

That's right, I'm lazy. Wooo. Yay for not going to a pointless lecture and pointless tutorial where they don't bother teaching us anything and rather just make us watch pointless videos. Pointless, really is. Hence why I slept in til 10 and hung out with Matt all afternoon playing card games and Xbox. I sucked at both. I'm awesome I know. Awesome in my suckiness of awesome.

I HAZ GORZ!

Yay. Lol. I have a Gorz now, and another Blue Eyes and Nitro Warriors and other stuff. I must wait til Gold Series for Drill Warrior, the Ultra Sexy card. Grrr. Mini card game rants are fun. I might have a go at the championships in June, all I need to do is borrow some cards off of Matt and I'm set. Though I may need to worry about money. I dunno yet. Worry about that later.

I have assignments and revision and stuff to do so today has to be a short blog, I don't have anything in particular to rant about, besides how much I suck at Dragon Ball Raging Blast. Hopefully tomorrow's entry is bigger and better and whatnot.

Peace
~!GaFF!~

Day 4, because I can't think of another title

Greetings and salutations and all that generic stuff. Today was your average Sunday. Didn't do anything exciting or constructive. Yay. I have to actually get into my assignments tonight so I can actually deserve going to Matt's for children's card games. The joys of procrastination. I'm still feeling pretty sick, headaches becoming more prominent though everything else is fixing up pretty well. Like they say, it could always be worse.

Quickdraw is nearing completion and with Gold Series and maybe some other things I'll have a different version of the deck, though maybe not as effective, still just as fun. Blackwing Armor Master is awesome so there's no reason why you shouldn't run it if you're also running the permanent Shrink and Stardust destroyer, Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind. So in that aspect, technically, I'm three of the main characters of 5Ds combined.

As beautiful as Akiza, As witty and cool as Crow and as badass and main-characteresque as Yusei.

Or something stupid like that. Where are my drugs to fix my headache. Anyways that's enough from me. I'll be back tomorrow, as always.

Peace

I r is teh winnang 1

Depending on your perspective that could be true and it could also not be true. Depending on your perspective.

GigaVise completely sucked at the locals. Completely. Drew absolute crap and just couldn't do much about it. However I pulled a Junk Archer from DP09, booyah. Nothing from my ABPF or ANPR packs but whatever. Gold Series Sangan, Rykos, LADD, Turbo Warriors, Book of Moons, Gale, Debris Dragons and most of my brother's needs for Morphtronics. So in that fashion I'm the real winner. So there. I am a winner. Smiles.

Let's recap shall we.

First match, Batteryman Beatdown/OTK. Got. Slaughtered. Was absolutely horrible. Drew absolute junk, nothing but junk. Stuff I need later on and stuff that I can't use in the first few turns. Lonefire and the like decided to stay away from topdeck. Figures. Sigh. So I lost 2-0.

Next match, my best one of the day, against X-Sabers. Good hands, good field position, good most of the duels. I think it was still 2-0 but I still managed to hold my own against the beasts of the format, Infernities being the Demons, because that's cool and stuff. 

And next in line was a little kid using Blackwings. Must be a Crow fan. Can't blame him, Crow is badass. Though he didn't have any of the synchros, THANK GOD. Though he wouldn't know how to use them, poor kid. Thankfully for my pride I did beat him 2-0.

Last game, because locals don't go for long enough and the guy I was facing took forever to finish his duels, Froggies. I now hate this deck with a passion. Frogs are amazing at being annoying, yet effective at the same time. I ended up overswarming him after managing to deplete his field but he ended up beating me 2-1. 

Overall the day was alright, despite me losing like every game. Casual duel against Glads, 2-0. Again against Synchro Cats and Mill. Crap stuff. So GigaVise isn't what I hoped it would turn out to be. Le Sigh. Better luck next time and have fun in my folder and rares box and YUSEI-HIME DECK!

That's right it's close to decent levels of completiton. I need Caius the Shadow Monarch x 2, Dragon Synchros, Warrior Synchros though I think I'm getting some, Super-Nimble Mega Hamster x 2 and another Pot of Avarice and if someone loves me they're get me a Mirror Force and a Solemn Judgment. Please?

Anyways that's enough of me ranting. Whining about assignment I should've started last week coming tomorrow most likely. Laters.

Peace

TGIF + DandyWarrior Discussion

Thank God It's Friday.

Or something along those lines, not like I'm at uni or working during the week so my Fridays occur multiple times I guess. Though I will actually have to do some uni work soon. It's a horrible thought but unfortunately I can't get a degree in children's card games. I need to figure out how I can be a teacher on Duel Academy Island...though if I had to put up with kids like Jaden I dunno if it would be entirely worth it. Get your game on!

Speaking of game, assuming I'm at decent health, locals tomorrow! Yay! Hopefully I can get some of the stuff I need for my DandyWarrior/Yusei-Hime deck. Or that I pull something off the charts from my Turbo Packs. That would be sweet. Though I still need to get stuff of off Matt. Yes I'm talking to you, you Kaibaman wannabe. I still love you though.

I've been trying to get over this flu bite without too much drugging up but doesn't seem like it's working too well. At least I'm not dying or throwing up. That would suck big time. So I'll be happy I can still sleep as well as I normally do and that my stomach is still being friendly. It always was my favourite internal organ. Now I'm hungry.

While I decide what I'm gonna eat I feel like talking about DandyWarrior/Yusei-Hime and why I love the deck so much. It's not exactly a hard deck to build persei, but it isn't easy to use. I've seen different kids try and run it and they have all this weird crap in there and they end spamming their fields with so many tokens they can't do anything and it just annoys me a lil inside. Someone who has no idea what I'm talking about? It can beat ZombieSworn.

Credit goes to Jeff Jones for bringing this deck into media exposureness and Dubkdad1 on his YouTube channel for showing me this awesome decktype. It doesn't cost $500 and can still do some damage; and if you love Princess Yusei then this deck is almost as good as Yusei-Turbo, which is also another want as far as my deck building goes.

Firstly with Yusei-Hime (credit goes to Dubkdad1 for the pimp name) you obviously need to find the key cards for the deck and run those.
 - Quickdraw Synchron
 - Dandylion
 - The Warriors

These are the major key cards and are what make DandyWarrior what it is, obviously. Out of all the warriors Drill Warrior is most important. His effect begins the Drill Warrior Loop (creative name, I know). His effect is basically, you can half his attack and bypass monsters for a direct; along with being able to remove him from play by discarding a card, typically Dandylion to spawn two tokens. During your turn when he comes back again you get to grab that Dandylion or any monster from your grave and add it to your hand. Repeat and continue abuse.

Now for the other key cards.
 - Tytannial, Princess of Cammelias
 - Light and Darkness Dragon
 - Debris Dragon
 - Lonefire Blossom

Now comes in the boss monsters of the main deck. LADD and Tytannial. Some mistakes that people can make is playing LADD while Drill Warrior is on the field. If you have enough protection then I can see why you would do so but don't do it just because you can. You need to THINK. Tytannial + Dandy Plant Type Tokens = Targetting Protection. No Bottomless, No D.Prison. No MST. No Dust Tornado. No Targetting effects. Just tribute a token and it's negated. Fabulous card. Works great in GigaVise, which I am currently running, and works just as well in Yusei-Hime due to the Token Spamming.

Debris Dragon allows easy Stardust, easy Black Rose for nukes, easy Ancient Fairy for protection, easy Dragon for whatever reason you have. Bring back a level 2/3, since it can't sync with level 8s for a Stardust etc, and you could use your tokens as additional sync fodder.

Lonefire Blossom brings out Tytannial. Tytannial in your hand is horrible, you don't wanna tribute for her, you wanna use Lonefire and special summon her out. As a general rule, don't use Lonefire when you don't have protection tokens, you'll run into a Bottomless, D. Prison, Smashing, whatever your local meta likes best.

Lastly, a good set of techs. Monarchs work really well, as you generate a lot of tribute fodder. Caius and Raiza are obviously the better choices but whatever you can afford is good. Ryko and Super-Nimble Mega Hamster also are good to for destruction and milling, which in this meta isn't exactly a bad thing. Hamster grabs a Ryko from your deck and special summons it face-down, so you have an easy destruction and your opponent won't be too quick to attack it.

Well I better stop ranting for now and whatnot, once I get the deck fully assembled I'll be able to show it off on my YouTube channel or something, I dunno. I might do a full blog post on it later but that depends. Wish me luck for tomorrow and crap, I'll update again tomorrow.

Peace

Second Post! *generic shock*

Wow a second post. I'm showing some real dedication to this daily thing. Though I need to add on another 19 days before it becomes a habit I will stick too. Apparently. Whatever works.

My day has been alright I suppose, despite the fact I've been coughing and wheezing for most of it. Massive headaches and whatnot too, so I feel absolutely amazing, see sarcasm. I also fully intended to do research and revision for my uni courses. Somewhat. I'll get to it. Maybe. Procrastination always gets you to bigger and better places, guaranteed.

In other news Apple-Mango Fruit Juice is possibly the best thing created, after Yugioh and chocolate. And the internet. And Video games. Well there's a lot of better things but it's up there. I've been staying away from my obsessive ice coffee obsession and I needed something with more flavour than water. BAM Fruit Juice. That is the single most exciting thing that has happened to me today. Yep.

I hope the sickness goes away soon, I really wanna be able to go to Locals on Saturday. My fiendish plants should do moderately well if I'm lucky but I'll probably get creamed by Lightsworns and Blackwings, again. Yay for expensive Meta. I can't wait til Gold Series, hopefully I'll be able to get some staples that are being reprinted and other valueable synchros. Rumours been going around that the 5Ds Dragons might be in there, not Black-Winged obviously but the ones that I need might be.

/nerdy rave

18 soon, drinking soon, exams and assignments soon, blah blah blah

Just another day in the life, signing off again etc etc etc, be back tomorrow

Peace
~!GaFF!~

Introductory Blogging Thing

Well, uh hi I guess. I'm a lonely guy with nothing else better to do, so I'm blogging. Isn't that awesome? Figured as much. Anyways I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing with this thing whether it's bitching and moaning or some deep and meaningful worldly stuff or children's card games but I'm gonna do it and it's gonna be hot.

Now for some lame introductory thing. I'm 18 in like 3 weeks or something, so I'm gonna get my drunk on and it's gonna be a mess. I'm studying at university to attain a Bachelor of Education so I can teach, obviously because I dunno what else you plan on doing with a Bachelor of Edu. Anyways. I do all that nerdy stuff, I YouTube a bit, moreso some of the YugiTube channels, like TeamDKF and dubkdad1, if I knew how to tag him I would because he gave me the idea and inspiration to get a DandyWarrior or as I've started using, Yusei-Hime build.

Yeah figured it'd travel into children's card games pretty quickly. I do love the game, even if I'm not extremely good at it yet and don't have a lot of cards or whatever. I won't get into too much detail because that deserves it's own post and no one wants to read me rambling on forever.

I'm looking into trying to show off some decks and maybe some duels on my YouTube channel I'm trying to set up and whatnot so if anyone is interested then go ahead and hit me up. Once I get over being sick I might actually be able to show my decks and my trades and all that wonderful stuff. Be good to keep in mind that I'm Aussie and I'm not sure how well trades would work but that's how it goes.

I kept it short and sweet for first time so peace and I'll update again tomorrow most likely, since I have the time it probably will end up being a daily thing, mixing Yu-Gi-Oh with University and teenage life. Woo.

Peace
