One of my many useless post.
Well now that I have gotten some new Player's Choice Sleeves (which are heaven), I have been thinking a lot about sleeves. I think of everything, from double sleeving to how tightly the sleeves fit the cards.
In my experience, the sleeves the most tightly fit the cards are Player's Choice. I have seen KMC, Ultra Pro and sadly those bad Max Protection sleeves. Player's Choice and KMC are almost identical and you can only notice the differences by looking up close. Ultra Pro is only slightly wider; allowing you to easily sleeve and unsleeve your cards. Though when I was goofing around, I found out that I can double sleeve my Player's Choice sleeves with my YGO size Ultra Pro sleeves. Max Protection sleeves are the widest of the pack. They almost look like magic sleeves.
Now durability, I have heard many great things about KMC and Player's Choice, but it hasn't been long enough to truly identify if they can handle the stress of shuffling. Ultra Pro has the longest durability that I have seen. These things are tanks. On the other hand, Max Protection sleeves start pealing with only a couple of riffle shuffles.
"Slickness" of each of these sleeves are usually a preference. Ultra Pro has textured imprints on the back for easy handling. KMC and Player's Choice are very very slick. They are both fun to handle; what I mean is that I love to use these babies to fan out my cards. Than comes Max Protection sleeves. When they come out of the package, they are between Ultra Pro and Player's Choice in slickness. But after some aggressive usage, the sleeves turn to ass. When they start peeling, they tend to feel very awkward in hand. And in just gets worse.
Color selection. All the sleeves have a wide variety of colors; from purple to gold. The Ultra Pros are usually made of the matte color spectrum. While KMC and Ultra Pro are the more vibrant and neonish kind of colors. Max Protection has very few solid color sleeves, but they have the greatest variety of sleeves that contain artwork. Some artwork are solid and are very appealing to the eye. While others give you the sense of "WTF?"
Double sleeving is a very good way of keeping your sleeves and cards safe. Do you have a nice Max Protection artwork that you want to display? Double sleeve it with some clear Ultra Pro sleeves. So now your Max Protection won't start peeling, you can display the fine artwork and your cards are safe. There are people who triple, quadruple, quintuple, sextuple, septuple and even nontuple sleeve their decks. As you can imagine, this makes your cards huge and often the person has to add in another card to support the sleeves. People can go great distances to protect their cards. Laminating is the way of the future xD. Also I wonder how hard it is to shuffle one of those nontuple sleeved decks.

Sunday Tourney Report
Well started the day off kinda tired, partied the day before well past midnight. Came into the store seeing no one around. Did some minor trading for some sleeves (which are the best ever, love you player's choice sleeves). Eventually after not being able to wait for Victor and Albert anymore, we started. As we started, 4 guys came in, than Victor and Albert. They all entered the tournament. Than 2 more came in after that. Thus we went from a 7 people tourney to a 15 people massacre.
Match 1
John- Blackwings
Game 1
Went by fast. He misplays and doesn't heavy first turn. I take advantage and bottomless his Sirroco. Through a series of plays, I bring out enough monsters to finish him off soon.
(Thought it was an easy win, I just made an assumption, a bad one too. It goes down hill from here)
Game 2
Misplayed so hardcore. I Lightning Vortex his field. Putting 3 darks into grave. Later he drops Dad. Game followed. Sides did nothing
Game 3
Wow I misplayed again! I finally draw my side, a Sirroco. Woo. I read Icarus. I summoned Sirroco and pumped it (his field was Armed Wing, Bora, Gale, Whirlwind and obviously Icarus) I was gonna attack, but I got greedy. I summoned my gale. He Icarus them both. *facepalm* He than later drops Dad. Lost again
0-1
Match 2
Skyler- Volcanic
Match 1
He annoys me with some minuscule burning. I finish the match off quickly (can you tell I was pissed because of the last match?)
Match 2
He stalls for awhile, but leaves himself open a lot. I poke him between stalls for game.
1-1
Match 3
Dylan - Vayu Turbo (ish)
Match 1
Game 1
He dumps a lot of monster with grepher. It got way out of hand and finally he swarms me and I had no response.
Game 2
Another stupid misplay. I wasn't losing by much. He was at 4500 and I was at 3000. I had a gardna in the grave. He attacks with shura and I let it threw. *facepalm* He drops Kalut.
1-2
Another freaking misplay to Blackwings. Twice in a day.
Match 4
Jeff- Dimensional Chaos
Game 1
I kept removing his monsters with Caius. He had no reponses and soon loses.
Game 2
Tough game, he had a lot of answers. Though small pokes was what help me win. He had Dad in hand too. Don't want to lose to that bastard again.
2-2
Top 8
Woo made tiebreakers
Albert- Gaia Plate Stun
Game 1
Such a long and close game. Back and forth the game went. He had answer and so did I. I had him at 300 and I was at 1400. He creature swaps my creature. And attacks me with psychic commander for game.
Game 2
We decided not to side. Again a very back and forth game. But I poke him a lot. Leaving a far distance in life points between the both of us. He soon started drawing into his spells and traps. I followed up with poking and game followed.
Game 3
Much like game 2, I poked him excessively. Though he misplays and forgets to tribute his grand mole for a guardian when I mirror force. Though I don't think it was gonna change the outcome of the game. I just beat the 4-0 deck today, but I feel bad for him, so I hugged him a lot.
Top 4
Simon- Zombiesworn w/ Diva
Game 1
So fast, I really can't remember what happened. He finished me off quickly though.
Game 2
Misplayed and summon Kycoo, in which he torrentials. His turn he summons Dad and Kycoo. I only had one gardna. It couldn't save me.
Battle for 3rd Place
(That Guy) Gigavise
Game 1
Quickly beat him with some slow swarming (Props to those who get that)
Game 2
Wow, he pull of the super combo. Swarmed so fast. He misplays and doesn't bounce my back row with Brionac and runs into my mirror force. Next turn he does the combo again. But attacks into my reaper, yay reaper. I brain control his Brutdrago summon gale and halve his gigaplant. Bounce a lot of stuff and attack with brionac, than bounce his Brutdrago. Since he used up all of his resources before,he is left with nothing and he scoops.
The tourney was over and I go up and grab my turbo pack, to my surprise I pull nothing (actually not very surprising). Fellow teammate, Victor, pulls super Garoth for finishing in first by borrowing my Gold Sarcs. Steve later stops by and joins the fun and of course, we head to our favorite spot, Taco Bell. We talk and talk. We talk about the most randomist things, but it wasn't boring at all. All in all, it was a great day. Made top surprisingly, found out my side decking skills suck. Got new sleeves and hung out with friends.

Junk and Debris Zombies
Short post today.
Well I was looking up some old cards in my collection and realized how junk and debris in zombies could be a very great combination. I know I am not the one who came up with this idea originally, but I don't see anyone showing this Junk and Debris version any love.
How it works is that you could use Beast of the Pharaoh and Debris Dragon to spam Synchros. Than using Beast of the Pharaoh to summon another Zombie monster from grave. And if you bring back Zombie Master, than you can pull of even more Synchros.
But I do realize the problem with Junk and Debris. One is that no hand advantage is ever associated with this deck. And second, the Junk part. I can't find enough viable targets for Junk Synchron, besides Dandylion and Des Lacoodas. Though Ryko has recently come up as a target, plus it's ability to mill.
I will try to be building an efficient version of this deck. Stay tuned!

Synchro Level
There seems to be a trend coming about. Each format has a very dominant Synchro Level, going all they way back to their release.
First during Tele-Dad era, we had the massive level 8s. Stardusts and Colossals were what you would usually see on the field. High level monsters that were also hard to take down.
Than came the DSF era. Level 7s exploded out of nowhere. Dark Strike for game was so common in everyday games. Arcanite Magician blowing up all cards deemed a threat and couldn't even be bottomlessed. Black Rose Dragon was also often spammed as seen in Debu-Hime and running into a Blackwing-Armor Master wasn't so fun either.
Now in this format, we see a ton of level 6s. Brionac being the most prominent. But we still can't forget about those level 6 zombies. Revived King Ha Des can stop gardnas and pesky searchers from working. Doom Kaiser can take your opponent's Plaguespreaders. Though there is an under looked synchro monster, Flamvell Uruquizas. It has piercing and it gains attack every time it deals battle damage. Now people who don't run blackwings have a chance at a level 6 with piercing.
I have also neglected to mention cards that have also dominated their own format, including Goyo and Catasdor. But the sheer number of people who ran the other level of synchros far out numbered these guys. (though Goyo was badass at 3)

Addiction
When I first started this game, I didn't really plan to stay in it this long. I must admit, I didn't think this game was very "cool". But now, this is my drug. I can't stop thinking about this game. It's driving me insane.
Almost everybody has something to relieve their stress. It could be sports, games and sometimes even drugs. This is one of the many things that relieve my stress. I will tell you why. If I had a bad week, like doing bad on test or lose something important, I than go to tournaments and lose myself in the matches. Sounds very lame, I know. More lame than I want it to be, but I couldn't think of anything else. Somehow dropping a Dark Armed Dragon is a very soothing thing.
I have even been using yugioh terms like broken in talk outside of the game. And when I hear words like advantage, I automatically think about yugioh.
Though lately I have stopped playing during the course of the week because I can get easily bored of this game. So I save up all my energy for the weekends, when all the tournaments happen. But I still deck build and roam Pojo and Duelistgroundz.
This game has become an addiction. I can't stop playing this game. The game can change so fast with the release of packs and the changes of the banlist. It also excites me to see new innovate plays and builds. (another lame area, but who cares).
My goal one day is to top and SJC or at least attend one. Eventually even go to nats. Worlds would be a dream come true, but I don't want to be greedy.
P.S. Regular articles will resume shortly, I just had nothing else to write xD

Sunday Tourney Report
Another good day for Yugioh. I started off the day by arriving at Myth games way to early. Oh well. As the time past, more people started to come and new faces appeared. When Steve showed up, I quickly asked for his burials. I wanted to play my necro gardna control. I had everything, besides 2 mezuki. Though Jason was nice enough to lend me one, thus I replace the other missing mezuki with a D.D. crow. Albert and Victor couldn't make it today due to their Wushu. Oh well, 2 less decks to beat.
*Note: I don't remember all the players names, so when I do I will edit this for accuracy.
Match 1
(Forgot name) Dimensional chaos
Game 1
I won dice roll
D.D. Warrior Lady kept on removing my monsters, dang it. He than over extends and bring out dimensional alchemist and chaos sorcerer, but I torrential. Leaving me with an open field for game.
Game 2
Wow this was so B.S. I had him at 400 and I was at 1400. He tops lightning vortex. I scoop. This is like the 4th match in 2 days, that I got lightning vortex for game.
Game 3
He overextends which leads me to a quick finish.
1-0
Match 2
(Name Here, I want to say Dillon) Blackwings
He wins dice roll
Game 1
Very back and forth. But he misplays which leaves me open to a crucial poke (I discarded his Gorz with my Reaper of the nightmare). He does get greedy and decides to summon another Sirroco which I answered with Torrential. I get my chance to swarm the field and I gamed it the turn after he got torrential
Game 2
Wow I hate blizzard. He had answers most of my plays. And always ended up using blizzard. Eventually he dropped DaD and I scooped.
Game 3
Long game. He Sirrocos a lot and gains a lot of pluses. I soon find myself with 1 Colossal Fighter, 1 stardust and Revived King Ha Des on my side. He shura with double whirlwind. He brings out Gale and Bora. He misplays and halves colossal. He decides to attack stardust and I negate with Necro. He than attacks my colossal with shura. He proceeds to Synchro into Goyo. And he also synchros into Gaia knight. I attack Goyo than his Gaia and Stardust and Revived King finish him off. Funny moment of the game was someone calling me a dark signer, I didn't fully realize till the next match.
2-0
Match 3
Steve (you bastard xD) Blackwings
He wins dice roll
Game 1
Stalled for a long time with necro gardnas. But I could only stall for so long. He eventually did game it.
Game 2
He draws all his sides. All of them. I draw none. You get the point. Kycoo is my worst enemy. I manage to kill one, but he summons another. I facepalm.
2-1
Match 4
(Again I don't know his name, but not "Dillon") Blackwings
Game 1
He over extends and walks into my mirror force. He had no outs so I gamed it.
Game 2
Again he over extends and I lightning vortex. Game soon followed
3-1
Top 4
Me vs (Dillon?) Blackwings
Game 1
I set my morphing jar. He didn't attack. So I flip and he ended drawing all his spell and traps. I slowly poke him to death.
Game 2
I wasn't that low on life, but than he Siroccos with double whirlwind and proceeds to double special summon bora and pump and drops 1 kalut into my defense position mezuki. I had no back row.
Game 3
Wow this game was amusing to say the least. He proceeds to Sirocco and summons bora and end turns. I brain control his Sirroco and begin to special summon gale. I pump Sirroco and attack his bora (I misplayed and didn't halve his bora). I synchro into Colossal and summon Armageddon knight and pitch necro gardna. He doesn't get his outs and I win.
Top 2
Me vs (umm someone else I don't know) GigaVise
Game 1
He has few monsters and has a hand full of supervise. So I game it quickly.
Game 2
He has a chance to beat me, but I MST his D.D.R. Leaving him only one Gigaplant on the field. I soon Synchro into Revived King and attack over for 50 and attack directly with goblin zombie for game.
So I win the tourney. Not bad, certainly with a deck that only had one mezuki. I got a super samnite in my 2 packs and witness 2 other people pull doomcalibur knights. Sad moment, but at least I got a super.
And some of you might have been wondering what happened to Steve. Well he got into Top 4 with a 4-0 record, but he lost his match to Gigavise. Gigavise deck topped a brain control for a 2nd game win and during the 3rd game, the Gigavise deck was low on life, but managed to swarm the field to win that turn. Thank Goodness he didn't do that to me. Also Steve pulled junk from his turbo pack (Only top 4 player that didn't pull a super or higher).
We later went to a nearby Taco bell. Marlon showed up and lent me the final Mezuki I needed. I play tested my deck against Steve again. Wow did it ever make a difference. Needless to say, I won the majority of our playtesting. We also tried to build Kevin Slapnik's version of DHZ. Between me, Marlon and Steve, we had no clue how this deck works.
All in all, it was a great day. I got an ultimate black rose, some jank for more jank. Also a super samnite. Kinda bummed that I didn't get one of those doomcaliburs. Though it was good to see Steve pull nothing (that's for being cocky Steve).
My decklist will be posted up eventually.

He has a chance to beat me, but I MST his D.D.R. Leaving him only one Gigaplant on the field. I soon Synchro into Revived King and attack over for 50 and attack directly with goblin zombie for game.
So I win the tourney. Not bad, certainly with a deck that only had one mezuki. I got a super samnite in my 2 packs and witness 2 other people pull doomcalibur knights. Sad moment, but at least I got a super.
And some of you might have been wondering what happened to Steve. Well he got into Top 4 with a 4-0 record, but he lost his match to Gigavise. Gigavise deck topped a brain control for a 2nd game win and during the 3rd game, the Gigavise deck was low on life, but managed to swarm the field to win that turn. Thank Goodness he didn't do that to me. Also Steve pulled junk from his turbo pack (Only top 4 player that didn't pull a super or higher).
We later went to a nearby Taco bell. Marlon showed up and lent me the final Mezuki I needed. I play tested my deck against Steve again. Wow did it ever make a difference. Needless to say, I won the majority of our playtesting. We also tried to build Kevin Slapnik's version of DHZ. Between me, Marlon and Steve, we had no clue how this deck works.
All in all, it was a great day. I got an ultimate black rose, some jank for more jank. Also a super samnite. Kinda bummed that I didn't get one of those doomcaliburs. Though it was good to see Steve pull nothing (that's for being cocky Steve).
My decklist will be posted up eventually.
