Top 5 cards from Galactic Overlord

May 09, 2012   Toshi   8 Comments

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the Galactic Overlord (GAOV) sneak peek this weekend. I’m sure everyone enjoyed the event; especially given the chance to play with the latest theme which is the Hieratic Dragons and as the name suggests, is around Dragons and comes in consistently at a high rank at various tournaments in the OCG environment.

Deck Building Strategies 106

May 04, 2012   Toshi   No comments

In my previous article, I covered the general Sideboard theories. Now, I’d like to cover practical techniques in sideboarding – techniques which many actually use in tournaments. Before going on though, I would like to make it absolutely clear that while I am personally comfortable with these techniques myself, they do require practice and in some cases (which I would be very surprised if so) may not suit them.

Major Rule Changes for Yugioh

April 27, 2012   Toshi   22 Comments

As I started my usual daily routine of going around seeking various Yugioh related knowledge and updates, yesterday I noticed a major rule change announcement on the official Yugioh site. As any major rule change affect everyone, I thought I’ll just have a quick look and then come back to read it later. However, turns out that the more I read it, the more I realize how big and serious this major change is.

Deck Building Strategies 105

April 26, 2012   Toshi   No comments

Over the weeks, I got some specific requests about what to write for my Deck Building Strategy articles and that topic was on Sideboarding. It is an essential part of the game especially at tournaments but at the same time my concern was would be too difficult for some of the younger readers out there.

However, given that it is a topic that needs to be covered either way and it’s better to start now than later, here it is.

Now that I’ve covered the core theories of how to build a deck, let’s start focusing on the practical side of things – I’m sure some of you are itching to or have already stuck 40 cards together and are ready to duel, the practical side of things can get quite complex and I would like to take this chance to cover in a bit more detail on a topic which I don’t feel I see enough of – Resource Management.

The Current Meta (April 2012)

100th YCSIt’s been a few days since the largest TCG event in history of Yugioh concluded at Long Beach in the US. Being the 100th YCS held, the number of duelists attending also broke records – with over 4,000 duelists participating, this event definitely gives us a clear indication of what the environment will be, or at least for the next month or so until Galactic Overlord is released.

First things first, Dark World came first at YCS Long Beach. However, if you look at the Top 16 decks, we have 1 Chaos Piper, 1 Chain Burn, 1 Inzektor, 1 Dark World, 2 HERO, 3 Wind-Up and 7 Dino Rabbit. Let’s go over each of the decks, followed by why I think Dark World won and what’s coming up in the future after this historic event.
