Destiny HEROs and Rank 6

by with 3 Comments ArchetypeBanishDarkDeck BuildingDestiny HEROEnginesLightMonstersTeleDADZombies

Photobucket With some experimentation I’ve been trying to create a deck that could easily summon Photon Strike Bounzer using a deck that nobody had thought of yet  because I found Strike Bounzer to be an extremely powerful and also under-used card in the game, and since all the standard Rank 6 summoning decks are pretty boring and Konami generated (aka Hieratics) I was looking for old archetype specifically. Also, after testing a couple of older decks I’d found that a field of both Stardust Dragon and Strike Bounzer creates a very powerful lockdown so I narrowed my goals towards this. Through all of this I’ve slowly gravitated towards one archetype and that is Destiny HEROs.

Card Review: Phoenix Wing Wind Blast

by with One Comment ArticleCard TypeDeck BuildingSingle CardTraps

PhotobucketRecently, I’ve been starting to put this card in just about every deck I make. Pretty much because I feel like it’s just a straight up amazing card. Most people think this card is a little iffy, the way it goes neg-one makes it a turn off. So, because of this I felt I should give this card a little bit of a spotlight so others might give at least an thought when building there competitive decks.

Photobucket Like I said, here I am this week with a little bit about an advancement currently being made in the Dragunity archetype using a couple new tricks lended to us by the Heiratic archetype. As you may have noticed the title says “Part 1” meaning that I wont cover everything in just this one article. Today I’m just going to lay down the basics: the cards that pull off these new combos and the combo basics. With that let’s get started.

“Alive HERO”

Today is a far more direct article tan normal, I’ll just be responding to LegendaryChevralier’s comment on the recent Dragon Podcast:

Also can you give me some more infomation on that “alive hero” deck you were talking about? It seems really interesting and surprisingly similar to what I’ve been contemplating.

I’ll just be giving a little insight into the deck from my perspective as well as a pretty standard (as far as I know) decklist for the deck in Japan at the time being.

New Ideas: Lightray Sorcerer

As I’ve said on the podcast I’ve been trying to make a lot of ideas to effectively use the Lightray monsters. I haven’t really found any success in most of the ones requiring a lot of Light monsters in the grave so I’ve decided to move on to Lightray Sorcerer. If you don’t already know about ‘im he’s pretty much a the same as Chaos Sorcerer just a little different. Pretty much all you need to make it work is 3 Banish Light monsters. Luckily, it’s not like Dark Armed Dragon requiring an exact amount of monsters, so anything above 3 will also be fine. Today is my first look at some ideas with the card, I’ve got some more but I figured this article would be huge if I said all of them, so i’ll probably be cutting this one into 2 parts.

Card Review: D.D. Crow

I just keep looking at this card and thinking this works against everything right now. I feel like everyone has some weird secret pact to never use this card because it stops cards like Pot of Avarice, which everyone always fears in the back of their mind when they play it. But oh well, I decided to take a closer look at this card, weigh its pros and cons against each deck to see how good it would turn out.

Gladiator Beasts and XYZ

This idea may not be new but I don’t think all that many people know about it. Basically, you’d think Gladiator Beasts have been getting old and rusty when in actuality they been gaining lots of support here and there through XYZ monsters. With Gladiator Beasts being severely underplayed and on top of that most people not even knowing how to play well with them it makes sense that most of the ideas that have been engineered wouldn’t be known. Today I will be briefly talking about 1 of these new ideas and it’s XYZ summoning some neat Rank 3’s using Gladiator Beasts.
