Great episode! Disappointed at no talk of the recently revealed Galactic Overload and DT14 cards, but other than that, very interesting. I’ve always wondered why the OCG decks run Bubbleman. Now I’M running Bubbleman!
Oh, one question: What the heck is a Dues Ex Machina card? I have NOOO idea what this phrase means.
Deus Ex Machina refers to a problem that is solved, not by ones own skill or wit, but by a tool or object that does the solving for you. Cards like Monster Reborn, Miracle Fusion, Raigeki, Dark Hole, Heavy Storm that have the potential to shift the battle in your favor, or give you the win out of nothing.
For a better explanation (haha), there’s always: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex_machina
So basically, a card that can help you to win by topdecking it? Interesting.
