Storm of Ragnarok Sneak Peak Card: Vortex the Whirlwind

By the name, I first thought it was a Blackwing synchro and got all excited, but I was wrong. But of course, the card itself is much related to Blackwings.

Wind/Winged-Beast

Synchro

Effect/5/2100/700

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Winged-Beast Type monsters

When this card is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 level 4 or lower Winged-Beast Type monster from your deck.

It kinda is a no brainer that this card was meant for Blackwings, or even the new archetype, Dragunities.

I really thought the promo would be somehow related to Six Sams, but I guess Konami wants to keep their prices for the new Sim Samurai staples.

The card basically dies in order to search out something for a bigger cause. For example, it can special summon Phalanx for Dragunties, in order to synchro summon.

I wouldn’t exactly say Vortex the Whirlwind is “fast” but it can summon out support cards a lot faster. (especially desirable tuners.)

I don’t think playing 3 Vortex in an extra deck is necessary for Blackwings but 3 for Dragunities, since their main objective is to send monsters to the spell and trap zone, and then instant synchro.

Sin Cyber End Dragon

This card is being released in Febuary in the movie pack for OCG, but I do not know when for TCG or if this card will be even included for TCG movie pack.

I was checking Shriek today and came upon a card in the upcoming movie pack. The card is called Sin Cyber End Dragon.



Dark/Machine - Effect/10/4000/2800
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by removing from play 1 "Cyber End Dragon" from your Extra Deck. There can only be 1 face-up "Malefic" monster on the field. Other monsters you control cannot declare an attack. If there is no face-up Field Spell Card on the field, destroy this card.

This card is part of the new Sin series introduced in the upcoming movie pack. Along with Sin Cyber End, there are Sin Blue-Eyes, Sin Red-Eyes, Sin Paradox Dragon, and others. (maybe Sin Rainbow Dragon??)


Just by having Cyber End Dragon in your extra deck, you can special summon this guy out. I'm guessing Sin Cyber End Dragon belongs in a Malefic/Cyber Dragon Deck.

Or you could make a deck with a bunch of field spells, get Terraforming, and special summon Cyber Sin End. Its' actually not a bad idea, and have 3 Cyber Dragons, and call it a TerraCyber deck. XD Who knows? This card might lead to a new deck type.

Making a Sin Deck would be almost impossible, since each Sin card refers their effect to their "non-sin" versions.

TCG Talk: Dragunity Monsters

As everyone knows, a Dragunity structure deck will be released later this year, (since it's 2 am in the morning, January 1st, 2011.) Dragunities will get much support from it.

Dragunities are simply just an archetype here in TCG so far, but over somewhere far in Japan, they are a lot better with much more support.

So far for us, all we have is Duel Terminal, HA03, and Starstrike Blast for Dragunities. The support in Starstrike Blast is crap so don't even worry about it. (only Vajrayana and Gae Dear.) Duel Terminal has given the most support for Dragunities for TCG, but soon with the new structure deck, Dragunities will finally be made into a managable, standard deck.

Important cards:

Dragunity Dux & Dragunity Phalanx (HA03) - These 2 cards look promising enough to be ran 3 in a Dragunity Deck. Phalanx in the graveyard, use Dux's effect, special summon Phalanx and then BAM, a level 6 Syncrho. (maybe Gae Bulg?)
Dragunity synchros so far for TCG are only available in boosters.

Dragunity Tribus (HA03) - This card basically searches out for Phalanx and dumps it to the graveyard and then Phalanx waits for Dux's effect. In other words, Tribus is one bad ass. :D

Dragunity Legionnaire (HA03) - Basically similar to Dux. Special summons Phalanx, Phalanx special summons itself, and then level 5 synchro.

Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg, & Varjrayana (STBL) - I'm not really going to talk about these 2 since I have no idea how they will be played post the structure deck but I don't think they're prices will go any higher than $5 until then.

What's interesting is that some Dragunities themselves are Winged Beast types like Dux so we don't have to find random Winged Beast type monsters for this deck to work.

Icarus Attack of course will be a great addition to the deck. And also for us for TCG, have not gotten any promising spells/traps for this new archetype and won't until March with the structure deck.

Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon can be handy for Dragunities. I guess it can special/normal summon Dragunity Tribus to send Dragunity Phalanx to the graveyard. Or something else fancy. I haven't looked for all the possibilities. Red-Eyes and Phalanx make a level 12 synchro so yeah... XDD
That's all for now. I know I didn't cover much of the cards, but I wanna do that after I research more of them. xD


Peace. and Happy New Year!

New Years!

Happy New Years everyone. Hope everyone had a great '10 and look forward to 2011 because Storm of Ragnorak is coming. *o* Six Sams are back??

2010 Recap:

2010 was an OK year for myself, and great for Yu-Gi-Oh! I think I bought too many packs this year so I do have to cut down a lot. XD

Monster Binders!! I managed to get one.

I managed to almost get 1000 subs on YouTube but no. >.<


I did attend an SJC but never brought my camera so FML. I did not get any footage. Didn't really duel much, (2 matches), but traded and met new peeps.

Didn't attend locals that much. Did not attend ANY Sneak Peeks, because of money and time. (locals is 1 hour away)

My personal life, like school was a pain because physics just gets harder and harder.

Overall, the best deck of the year might be maybe Blackwings? currently, Quickdraw Dandy Warrior is the top deck according to SJC's but you know, BF's are the shit.

That's pretty much it for the year.

Happy New Year! !



New opening vid is uploaded onto my channel.

I'm back.

New blogs and vids soon.

Back from vacation & Banlist talk

Hey guys, I'm back from my 3 week vacation so I'll post a couple of more vids later on. Also the banlist is on its way and lots of people have already started posting videos on their thoughts. I'll probably making a video on the banlist too so keep updated.

X - Sabers - I don't think the banlist will hit X - Sabers at all. Maybe top tier next format?

Blackwings - Very confused about this one. Blackwings pretty much ruled this format, and since there is a Crow duelist pack coming soon, they might get hit. But, the pack will not come to TCG until probably next year. So you know what, Konami can go die. *o*

Infernities - Infernities HAVE to get hit, since they took over so much, (stopped me from going to Top 4 at locals too) and won I think 3 SJC's? Not sure, gotta check on that.

Machina Gadgets - This deck was introduced in thie format and I hope it doesn't get hit too much, but I do think the boss man, Machina Fortress might get sliced to 2.

Lightsworns - Lightsworns will pretty much get taken care of considering all the reprints. (Honest, Charge)

- XC

YGO News: Battle Fader Reprint

The final super rare promo card for the Majestic Red Dragon Tin has been confirmed as Battle Fader! Click on the title of the post for the video!

Crow Duelist Pack

Crow is finally getting his own Duelist Pack. Yusei will also have a 3rd Duelist pack coming up but everyone knows the pack will fail and just bad reprints will be in it. Click on the post title for more info.

What surprises me is that Vayu will be RARE?

If this happens, it probably means that Blackwings will be hit heavily on the banlist this September.
