The Yu-Gi-Oh Thread

RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

Round three:

Jay vs. Yakkov

DNA vs. Don

Chariblaze vs. SL


Blargh vs. DV
That's the only duel left to finish.
 
RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

Okay. While they finish up, let's start brainstorming ideas for our next project.

Are there any particular cards, combos, archetypes, or play-styles that you guys have found particularly intriguing, or successful?

(Lesser Known/Used of course. No need to bring up the obvious.)
 
RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

Kinka-Byo + Mystic Piper to bring out Exodia.
With a ton of Cyber Valley, Swift Scarecrow, and Battle Fader to help you out.
 
RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

Maybe Gem-Knights? They can be played a lot of different ways, so it's pretty simple to learn and agree on something.
One of my favorite combos in particular is to fuse Gem-Knight Obsidian with Volcanic Shell to get out Citrine. Use Obsidian's effect to special summon a Gem-Knight Amber, or any Gem-Knight that it can target. Pay 500 to get another Shell, banish Obsidian to get Gem-Knight Fusion back. If you got Amber with Obsidian, you can normal summon it again (It's a Gemini monster) and use its effect, discarding a Normal Gem-Knight to get Obsidian back to your hand. Use Gem-Knight Fusion, fusing the Obsidian and the 2nd Shell for another Citrine, then special summon a Normal Gem-Knight. Pay 500 LP for the 3rd Shell. Banish Obsidian to get Gem-Knight Fusion back to your hand. Activate it, fusing Amber and Shell into the 3rd Citrine.
Then proceed to Xyz the three into Number 7: Lucky Straight

I've left Blargh a message but he only responded once, and quickly said he was unable to duel then. I haven't seen him online other than that.
 
RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

Stellars seem interesting as well.
 
RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

Stellars are loads of fun. They can gain a ton of card advantage with a 3-card combo.
Find some way to get out Pleiades. Easily done with Schet/Gredi/Pollux and Kaust. Activate Stellar Starsign, then Xyz into Pleiades. Use its effect, detaching something to return Starsign. Reactivate it, then use Pleiades to Xyz into Ptolemys to draw another card.

Gem-Knights? I've seen those played before, and they play a lot like HEROes, which I'm used to, so I could probably help with that. Plus they're pretty fun and cool-looking to boot!
 
RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

I looked a little bit into Gem-Knights, and they're a very cool archetype. Just like Deus said, they remind me a lot of Heroes. I'd love to do a deck based around them, but some other ideas couldn't hurt either.
 
RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

Don actually played me with his Lucky-Gem Knight deck not too long ago (and then played me with a normal one).

I, unfortunately, never got to see Lucky Straight hit the field, mostly because I was too busy Dark Bribing his Fusion cards. It works on paper, but he doesn't always have the good hands to get it out.

+3 Royal Decree
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
you have figured out my secret
 
RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

I'm gonna be honest with you, DNA; I got out Lucky Straight while dueling the guy who was watching us duel for a bit. I had to use its effect 3 times before I was able to roll a 7. But when I did, when I did...BAM, 4200 ATK monster (no pun intended)...frankly, it got Dark Holed the very next turn, but that's not the point. I still GOT IT OUT.

Here's the decklist I used to do it!

RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

Sorry for the delay, but i usually only duel when i'm online, and whenever i am he's not.

EDIT we are dueling right now

Lost to DV 1-2
 
RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

Good question Don, I am curious myself.
 
RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

A top 2 cut would be pretty cool.
 
RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

Not tournament-related, but I have a challenge for all you guys out there.
I challenge you to bring out Gate Guardian and win the duel when it's still on the field.
 
RE: Yu-Gi-Oh! - Round 1 pairings up!

A top cut would be a T2 with a rematch of Yakkov and I's match.

If everyone wants to watch that would be awesome, if not I don't think it's really necessary. I'd rather start a new activity.


(Don and I have been talking about a Battle Pack tournament, which will probably be our next big thing)
