So the latest "hot" topic in our forums is about what will be hit in the March banlist. As you can see in the picture, much hate is directed towards the Inzecter/Inzector/Inzektor deck. Much more hate towards its upgrade, Wind-up Inzecters.
Some want Damsel/Dragonfly to be semi-limited. Others go as far as wanting Hornet be limited. On the Wind-up side, Zenmaighty to limited or Hunter to forbidden? lol
They say they're tired of seeing too much winning Inzecter decks online. Imo, the format is good already since we can at least see different decks winning consistently. There's also Agents, Rabbit, Pure Windup, Laval and the occassional DWs, GK, Heros, Gadgets, Junkdo, Samurai. See, there's lots of deck viable now!
Let's not forget the TG Agent domination before the Inzecters came. Do they want to see the endless Agent decks back if they EVER hit Inzecters this March? lol. I'll bet they'll whine again about Agents if this does happen.
Happy new year to everyone and thank you for making this blog a success! Hopefully, next year I'll get to say this greeting again here! :)
What can we expect in YGO for 2012?
Well, Konami has been very unpredictable with their decisions. I can say that YGO is undergoing a large change but Konami is doing it at a step-by-step approach.
Unbanning of power cards (BLS, Storm, DHole, Reborn)
Introduction of new Xyz mechanic
SD having 2 URs
GS having a TCG exclusive
Reprinting of BE boosters
Booster 801 scheduled for an early release
New Asia tournament (Top Shop)
Who knows what the next move of Konami is? Hopefully, the game gets more fun this year!
That's all everyone! Have a great new year's celebration!
Have you seen this line over and over again in the net world? This just means that in the past you used to do "something" then another thing happened that you were not able to do "something" again.
"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee."
-do you know where this net-famous line come from? xD
Well, I didn't post this because I want to teach English, dont worry. On the new cards in Galactic Overload, there's a new monster that is POWERFUL... but USELESS!... and it is Rocket Arrow!
Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by controlling no cards, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn this card is Special Summoned. While this card is face-up on the field, you cannot activate or Set cards. During each of your Standby Phases, send all cards in your hand to the Graveyard or destroy this card.
In the anime, Anna used this card to summon her Rank 10 Xyz monster and that is ONE way to use this card since it cannot attack and you cannot use other cards as long as this is faceup. PLUS, it even has a drawback that you need to dump you hand when you want this card to stay next turn. Totally worthless crap, right?
Unless you want to special summon this card then use as tribute for a Monarch or something...
Wait...
!!!
Great Maju Garzett
DARK/Fiend/Effect
0/0
The ATK of this card becomes twice the original ATK of 1 monster that you Tributed for the Tribute Summon of this card.
This card only needs 1 monster for a tribute right.... What better monster to sack than Rocket Arrow~~~!!
Who wants a 10000ATK Great Maju Garzett to punch through a 2000ATK Venus? Trololol.
I think I want to start trolling in DN using this idea. Haha, Great Maju Garzett can be searched by Sangan. :))
If you see someone using this combo, that's gotta be me or one of my friends, haha
Credits to Bahamut for the title since I think I remember reading it in one of his comments in another blog.
It's Christmas eve and I want to greet all of you a merry christmas! Hope all of us are eating good food this holiday! :D And dont forget the gifts especially cards and cash to buy more cards! xD

He's done with the editing and uploading so here are the other videos missing...
Edsel Gozon (Inzecters) vs. Christian Discipulo (Graveyard BF)
Finals - Game3
I saw lots of misplays on my part in this video... one is I used MST on his f/d card even though I know (from Dustshoot) that is probably his own MST. Another is my decision to destroy my own Centipede just to trigger Damsel's effect to summon another Centipede from deck. I should have just destroyed my f/d Torrential since it is useless at the moment and since I know he can't outswarm me. >_< Need more practice and need to learn to not get distracted easily by spectators.
Edsel Gozon (Inzecters) vs. Alvin Lim (TG Agent)
Overall Final - Game1
omg, I can't believe my misplays here were so many!!! >_< I'm ashamed.. The first bad move was when I used Armaknight just to dump a Damsel then CoTH for it. Should have realized the 1st trap was a REAL trap. Luckily I had another Damsel to pop. Then the last misplay was when I failed to OTK him. Should really have calculated everything before attacking... sigh..
Edsel Gozon (Inzecters) vs. Alvin Lim (TG Agent)
Overall Final - Game2
Edsel Gozon (Inzecters) vs. Alvin Lim (TG Agent)
Overall Final - Game3
(cant embed the video for some reason so here's a link to it...
Before the tournament report, I would like to congratulate Rey Vincent Lim for getting 2nd Place at the 2011 Top Shop Championships held yesterday! Congrats to you and the 2011 Philippine Team!
Last Saturday, the official shop decided to hold a Year-end tournament since that Saturday (12/17) is probably the last day of the year where players would flock the official store since next Saturday is already 12/24 and most would be busy preparing for Christmas celebration.
It was also decided that the format would be the same as the Konami Ranking tournaments. Another note is that there would be two tournaments. One will start at noon with 32 players... the other will start after the 1st finishes with 16 or 32 players depending on registration. That means there will be two winners that day. The two winners will battle for an additional prize donated by the head judge.
Pod1: Asia-Format, Single Eliminations
Participants: 32 (5 rounds)
Deck Used: Wind-Up Inzecters
Round1: vs. Tony (Karakuri)0-x-x
G1 = Dumped his hand.
G2 = Drew 2x Rats, 2x Damsels, and 2x Chain Disappearance. omg, was I stacked? Was able to use Chain Disappearance on his Male-tuner but got beat-downed coz I wasn't able to set up a Hornet.
G3 = Drew 2x Rats again wtf with a Damsel and Hornet. Set Chain Disappearance and a CotH. Then, I got wiped by Heavy Storm and summoned the 1700 Karakuri and he set 3 cards: Solemn Warning, BTH, and Solemn Judgment. Cant do anything against those. >_<
Result: So I scrubbed the first tournament... lol, 1st round dropout. Wslasher also dropped early so went to go have lunch. We played abit and my draws always had 2x Rat no matter how I shuffle!!! Crazy luck today with Wind-Ups so I decided to play the next tournament with just Inzecters.
BTW, here's a video (courtesy of Wslasher) of the finals in the 1st tournament.
Alvin Lim (TG Agent) vs. Jag Tan (Wind-up Inzecter)
Finals - Game1
Alvin Lim (TG Agent) vs. Jag Tan (Wind-up Inzecter)
Finals - Game2
Congratulations to Alvin Lim with TG Agents for winning the 1st tournament!
G1 = OTK'd him with a Damsel with Heart of Clear, Hornet, and Gigamantis.
G2 = Sided in Dimensional Fissures but didnt draw them. One Inzecter got Veiler'd, I used CotH for another one but it got negated by Orange Light, lol. Negate much? He had Cyber Dragons and Venus to beat me down.
G3 = No Fissures again =( . Again same plays, he used Veiler and Orange Light against my monsters. Ahead in card advantage, I was able to pull off another Inzecter next turn to take care of his Jupiter and Kristya.
Round2: vs. Cedric (Agent Angel)0-0-
G1 = Good draws and no Orange Light easily lead to OTK.
G2 = He had an Earth and a f/d card. Drew Heavy Storm, Dim Fissure, Damsel, Foolish Burial, Trap Dustshoot, and Solemn Judgment!!! God draw? The Dim Fissure left his Orange Light and Hyperion in hand dead.
Round3: vs. Rampy (Agent Angel)x-0-0
G1 = He drew godly and OTK'd me with Holy Wyvern, 2 Hyperions and a BLS.
G2 = He drew Holy Wyvern along his first 6 cards so we went ahead to Game 3. Yey.
G3 = Again he made the same move as G1. 1st turn he made Venus+Gantetsu, set a card, ended. I set Hornet, Torrential, and CoTH. His turn he summoned Breaker and I used Torrential. Cant remember what happened next but I know I was able to OTK him using Damsels and the CotH I set earlier.
Finals: vs. Chan (Graveyard Black Feather) 0-x-0
Edsel Gozon (Inzecters) vs. Christian Discipulo (Graveyard BF)
Finals - Game1
Edsel Gozon (Inzecters) vs. Christian Discipulo (Graveyard BF)
Finals - Game2 part 1
Edsel Gozon (Inzecters) vs. Christian Discipulo (Graveyard BF)
Finals - Game2 part2
Wslasher hasn't uploaded game 3 yet due to technical problems.
G3 = Drew godly again! I had Centipede, Hornet, Dim Fissure, Torrential, Solemn Judg, and Trap Dustshoot! Pitted all of those on my field and his turn I saw his hand I knew most his cards were dead against Dim Fissure so it was control from there. He top drew Duality but it showed him Veiler, Crow, and Armageddon Knight. Haha, fail xD
Result: 1st Place! I won a couple of packs full on "noteworthy" cards except Hornet. fail. Also noticed that before the finals, everyone I fought was using Agents!!! Wew.
1st Place: *ME* (Inzecter)
2nd Place: Chan Discipulo (Graveyard BF)
But it doesn't end there! Alvin Lim and I will duel it out too!
Extra Round: vs. Alvin Lim (TG Agent)x-0-x
I think Wslasher recorded the duel on video. I cant remember that much except the time I won even though I misplayed and left him 300 LP. Luckily he wasn't able to draw a counter attack. Last thing I remember was when I lost to his OTK of Android, Brili-ant, Gantetsu, and BLS.
So that's it! Still wasn't able to beat Alvin Lim again. >_< Will try again next time, haha, most probably it will be next year. Maybe I could make it one of my new year resolutions? haha.
Noticed that Torrential tribute doesn't mix well with Inzecters. Was that only today or do most ppl think so too? Will fix up the Wind-Up Inzecter build, hopefully next week I wont have to draw 2x Rats anymore.
