Card Review: Double Return

The Burn Patch

I’m sure they mean well…

When you take 1000 or more damage by your opponent’s card effect, place 1 Twofold Counter on this card for each multiple of 1000 damage you took. During your opponent’s next End Phase: Destroy this card, then inflict 2000 damage to your opponent for each Twofold Counter that was on this card.

Double Return is a Continuous Trap Card releasing in Galactic Overlord. In the OCG, it’s a rare and should stay that way when it sees a TCG release.

YCS Lima – Bounty Hunters

Before you ask, Dino Rabbit won YCS Lima, congratulations to Hector Delgado. But, that’s not what I wanted to talk about. What I wanted to talk about was:

Bounty Hunters
During YCS Lima, 10 Duelists were given the designation as Bounty Hunters. They can be randomly selected or chosen (if they exhibit extraordinary Yugioh-ness). This designation enters them into a pretty cool system.

Each round, these special duelists get 4 packs added to their “Bounty Pile.” If they win their match, they will automatically be awarded 2 packs from that stash. But if they lose, their opponent will get EVERY PACK currently in their stash! SOO cool!

For the mentally indifferent, if you beat a Bounty Hunter on round 5, after they have gone 4-0, you will get 12 packs!

 

This is the first time I’ve seen a feature like this, let alone during a YCS. If it’s been done before, awesome! If not, it’s a great idea! All I’m saying is: more epic stuff like this.

Random Ideas: Fun HERO Ideas

Photobucket
Now that Call of the Haunted is at 3 I’ve been making up some random ideas for a deck that could possibly utilize 3 copies. (not counting Inzectors ’cause that deck isn’t that fun) One of the more fun ideas was a HERO build were I essentially try to make massive advantage using cards like Salvage, Fusion Recovery and Call of the Haunted in order to make quick and easy Fusion Summons and XYZ Summons. Bear in mind these are only theory and could as well flop in real life.

Photobucket Hey look, it’s another card review! Today I’m going to be looking at a new an wonderful addition to Dragon decks: Divine Dragon Apocralyph.  Essentially, a more versatile version of Genesis Dragon, Apocralyph brings a lot of versatility and consistency to Dragon decks today and has very easily made himself what I would consider to be a staple in all current Dragon decks.
