Zexal Weapons + Utopia

Let's lean back and relax a bit from the rush of the competitive scene and let's look at some new cards from the upcoming Cosmo Blazar booster set. The Flame Dance archetype reminds me of the Shakugan no Shana anime with a mix of Chinese elements. However, it's not them that I want to mention today.

= add 1200 atk + all ZW indestructible by effects + sub-destroy by effects to a Utopia monster

= add 1300 atk + untargetable by effects + sub-destroy by battle to a Utopia monster

You remember how Gigamantis attaches itself to any Inzektor and, well, these cards do the same thing barring they can only be equipped to a "Utopia" monster. So far, that's Utopia itself and Utopia Ray (perhaps we'll see more non-Xyz Utopia monsters someday?). Tornado Bringer is my choice over the two since it's better to be untargetable once your Utopia is already on the field. Generic traps out there like BTH and Torrential guarantee that your Utopia is already destroyed way before it can be equipped with anything, so, barring Mirror Force and Dark Hole, there should be nothing else that is a staple that can kill something that is untargetable. Also, you can use/side in Lightning Blade against kill-all decks like Lightsworn and Anti-meta.

Xyz Utopia is easy to summon nowadays. Photon, Gadgets, etc., maybe we can see Utopia decks in the future that uses these new ZW cards since a 3800 ATK Utopia that cannot be targeted by anything SHOULD be able to troll anyone.

Offering + No.16 = 1 Card Complete Lock!

Last time I talked about how to pawn using Offering Gadgets. Today I'll talk about it again and how to deprive your opponent from playing his cards!
 
Number 16: Ruler of Color - Shock Ruler
Fairy/Xyz/Effect
3 Level 4 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and declare a type of card (Spell, Trap, or Monster Card); until your opponent's next End Phase, neither player can activate cards of the declared type.

Yeah, you guessed it! Summon 3 of these atrocities in your turn; have each of it lock each of the card types and laugh as your opponent cannot activate any card!

The hard part is that you'll need exactly all 9 Gadgets to complete the lock. But with Reborn Tengu, it gets so much easier coz you can detach Tengu, summon another, and use that as Xyz material for the next. Heck, you dont even need to lock all Spells, Trap, and Monsters to defeat your opponent. Most likely you'll only lock two types, then he'll just go down.


Of course, I played the deck on Dueling Network again


One thing you must take care of are cards like Spirit reaper. You might waste all your gadgets to summon those Color Rulers to lock everything but it wont win you if you cant land the finishing blow. Luckily, we have Trishula to take care of problems :p


Another 1st turn Naturia Beast (bye Spells) got him to just Troop-dump and set 3 cards his turn. 2nd Turn finish of 2x Color Rulers to bar the other card types! Sorry Trooper, no effect :p

Later through the night,  I joined a tournament someone organized using Challonge.com and fared pretty well.

Double Elimination Format
Participants: 16
Deck Used: Offering Gadget Lock

Round1: BYE. (meh, opponent didnt show up)

Round2: Klajdi Pr0 (Evoldo Xyz) O-X-O *lost rps (rock-paper-scissors)
G1 = He set 4. I drew Dusts and Mst w/o UO and set them. He used mst from hand I chain to destroy his f/d. His Diplodocus also tried to destroy another but his f/d got hit instead. My turn I drew UO and went to control.
G2 = He set 4 again and a monster. My tengu got Warning'd and I set 3 w/ UO. He flipped the reptile evoldo, SS'd a lv4 then normal summond another 4. I torrential, he 7tools, I used 7tools too, but he got Judgment! lol, fail in front of Ragia
G3 = Final Lockdown made by 2 Colors only since my other gadget got warning'd and killed the loop.


Round3: vs. burr3825633 (Fusion Gate Hero) O-X-O *won rps
G1 = Locked with Naturia Beast 1st turn + 2 Colors 2nd turn
G2 = I got Royal Decree'd! Where's my MST??
G3 = He didnt have decree now. So I draw whored till I drew a Gadget then Color + roach!


Semis: vs. turbox1000 (Tengu Zombies) *lost rps O-O-
G1 = He set 2 and a monster, end. Drew UO 1st turn with Dusts. Set only Dusts and gadget killed his Mezuki. He MST a Dust on EP. He summoned Zombie Master, revived Mezuki, attacked and ended. At EP I dust his warning and set UO. Locked him next turn.
G2 = He only set a monster and 2 backs and ended. I summon and set 2. He pass. At Ep I Mst his set Warning. My turn UO play into Librarian + Trish. His field now bare with only 1 card in hand but he doesnt quit. I summoned Color to lock Monsters and he condeded, showing me his Gorz lol. Sorry Gorz. xD


Finals: vs. the organizer, Deus Ex Machina (T.G. Tengu) *lost rps X-X-
G1: He set 5. My turn summoned a gadget, and set Mst and UO. His turn summon Raioh. waa. I Mst a Mforce, Dark Holed Raioh, summoned gadget, but UO got MST'ed. He controled with TG + Horn
G2: 1st turn Naturia Beast but with only bluff spells and MForce as backrow. He dared to summon Naturia Barkion and killed my Beast. wew talk about courageous. He controlled for a few turns but somehow I got UO up and he didnt negate thinking I would have less than 1000 LP coz he was gonna attack with more monsters. I UO some def'ed gadgets and survived. My turn I summoned Color to negate trap, Disigma to take Barkion, and Hope (left with 1100 LP). Killed all his monsters. His turn he set a card and summoned a TG. My draw phase he took Hope with TG1-EM1. My misplay was I forgot that Disigma can take more than 1 monster at a time so my attacks got negated. He survived Color's last lock and I got hit with all his traps. lol.    

So result was I only got to Finalist spot. Haha, here's a shot of the tourney structure before the finals  (Im on no.1 slot. *topmost)


I really hope Ultimate Offering dont get hit this coming banlist! Drawing it = a very good chance you'll win, xD
Truly, a 1-card OTK! (coz I dont count Gadgets as a combo-piece since you always have it onhand)
Thanks for reading!

XYZ on DN! Offering Gadgets pwnge!

Last time on Dueling Network!~~~ lol (recalling EN-dub Yugioh GX in my head)

What I actually want to say is that the all-time demand Xyz monsters are now available in Dueling Network! If the last hype inside the free browser game was Dark World, Tengu Plants, Tengu TG and all kinds of Tengu decks, be prepared now to experience the imbal Tour Guide-Sangan Xyz madness courtesy of Kevin Tewart's TCG ruling!

Its everywhere!
Tour Guide + Sangan = Leviair/Revise + Sangan Effect? lolwut
Zombie Master + Goblin Zombie >> Roach + G.Zombie gets Mezuki for next turn Xyz/Synchro? wew
Tengu + Goblin Zombie >> Roach + Zombie fetch + Tengu again? wtf?

Well, what can I say? You cant control those TCG players in DN even if you paste a heck wall of text from Konami OCG Faq. If you cant stop them, then join and beat them with their own Xyz drug!

Hello DN! Here's Offering Gadgets!


I dont care what they say. 1st-turn Naturia Beast (Gadget + One for One/Foolish Burial) + set a ton of traps (w/ Offering) will make your opponent just set something, end his turn and die with your next.

Poor pussycat. :( I'm not an abuser of these kind of decks. I didnt know he played Crystal Beasts when I summoned Naturia Beast 1st turn.

This version of Offering gadgets I made with a mix of some TGs and the Plant engine. I didnt include Reborn Tengu in coz I was annoyed with the card at that time. If anyone's interested, here's what I made:



Basically I won all my games because of 1st turn Naturia Beast. (Why am I so lucky? lol) Then I thought of some way to how consistently summon Naturia Beast then why not summon someone like him?
EVOLKAISER RAGIA!


You may wonder how did I just pit this all in and call it a deck? The card that puts Offering Gadgets and Ragia Rabbit together in my deck is....


DNA SURGERY! Yes, you are seeing it for real. This might outrage some ppl but please dont bash me coz I want to troll some DN peeps with 3x walking Solemn Judgments and Xyz Relinquished! xD


Here's the crazy Ragia Gadget deck I made on impulse. Why Gene-Warped Warwolf instead of just Kabazauls? I like the extra 300 ATK the Warwolf is packing. Takes care of Thunderking and other 1900 atk stuffs. DNA Surgery will take care of Ragia's requirements. W/o surgery, I can still go for Hope or Roach no problem. :)

Its past midnight now and DN is suffering major lag issues. TCG world's time to play? Maybe its time to sleep now, lol.

Again, thanks for reading!  [/rant]
