yugioh club

Wow, when was this made and why haven't I joined?

...oh, over a year ago, that's why. Silly bumps.

Well anyway, I'm totally addicted to the game still. I have like 12 different themed decks, but I don't really have many actual good cards to support them, so the newer ones are pretty bad. And to be honest, I'm not that good at the game to begin with.

My favorite deck is my Light/Dark deck that I had made even before the Chaos sets were released. I really want to make a good Chaos deck out of mine now, but I have no cards for it. And with the 20 or so sets released since (dear lord, I haven't gotten new cards is ages), I'd have to go buy them all individually on Amazon or something... which might actually be cheaper anyway, but meh.

As for the anime... I liked the original, but I only saw the last two seasons about... 6 months ago? I never finished it when it was actually being aired, so I went online and got caught up on that and GX. I honestly liked GX a little more than the original, though Jaden will never replace Yugi. I really hate 5Ds though. I've only seen... about half of one episode. My first thought was "Did they really take LittleKuribo's motorcycle jokes seriously or was this really planned from the beginning...?" Maybe it was just because I turned it on halfway through the episode, but between the dueling on motorcycles thing, the new Synchro monsters, I just couldn't keep up. I didn't know what the hell was going on on the field or anything.

Did someone mention something about being able to play online? I've been looking for something like that for ages, since the main "leader" of our dueling group moved away and we sorta stopped meeting, so I have no one to play against but myself.
 
There's only ever three people I can Duel against! We used to have a shop here in Leeds called City Cyber Anime, but it got closed down... Every Saturday people met up and Duelled, traded or jus chatted, that's how I got a hold of my Red-Eyes Cards oddly enough! So I can kinda relate to how you feel!

Anyway, there is another person I know of who doesn't Duel any more but PhaRaoH assures me is REALLY good! So naturally you can guess how much I want to Duel her... Yep, that's right: I REALLY wanna take her on!

I wouldn't have minded Duelling her when I first heard she WAS a Duellist, but she apparently doesn't Duel any more cuz her brother died, which is really unfortunate, and I have a brother myself so I am quite sympathetic!

And I'm now gonna watch a Nazca Line (Earthbound Immortal, anybody) documentary, then I may jus consider posting my Custom Deck for opinions and views!
 
Yay I'm not alone:)
I agree with Vespiform mostly on how the new card are just retarded. However, I do have a select few cards from the G/X and 5ds series that have their purposes. Like I have the card "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" Which came out in the 5ds series. It blocks an attack, then is placed back down. My friends absolutely hate it 'cuz I win a lot now when I used to be a pushover most of the time :) The G/X series... yeah that was terrible. But, there is one card, I wish I had it, but I don't know what series it is from. It is either called "Barrel Dragon" or something like that, and it destroys things >:) Other than that I mostly stay original.
 
Oh man... Yu-Gi-Oh is now so addicting. Everyone was like oh, its gay to like CMON LETS DUEEEL :DDDD. So I caught the bug. I'm trying to build a new Water deck, but not sure if I should go with A Legendary Ocean deck or a Water Control. I need to beat my friend's Ancient Gear Deck. It beat my friend's tournament winning Hopeless Dragon deck D:
 
if he's got ancient gears you might want to do control, but a theme that's more effective with that is Zombie. Especially if you can get "Zombie World" and "Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon". I've done it. it kicks all ass! ( not that you have to do zombies-it's just easier to find cards that work well with zombie types, in my endeavors anyway, that involve getting control of your opponent and his monsters.)
 
Yeah I'm probably going to try both. But Zombies won't win. He used his Ancient Gears and just demolished them. I used a machine deck too and lost even though I killed some of his best monsters. Also he has a bitchin remove from play deck so Zombies are screwed after that :D

Click to expand...

I believe Barrel Dragon has been around for ages: Keith used one in the first season of the anime (or was it the beginning of season two? Hell if I know. The semi-finals of the Duelist Kingdom series). I don't know what pack the card is in, though, or rather, how to obtain it. But yeah, its pretty cool.

So half of my decks are based around my characters, and I can safely say that Zombie decks own. Granted, I don't have much to work with outside of that one structure deck, but it still crushes my dragon deck (also molded mostly on the structure deck) pretty easily. Anyway, you wouldn't be using Zombies against his remove-from-play deck, Patar, so no reason to fear using them for that.

I honestly don't know what Water Control is/does, but water sounds like a good counter for an Ancient Gear deck either way, if just for the immediate realization that their powers will drop due to their machine-typing.
 
Well, it's not the one with three barrels, I know that.

I have a Joey character Deck, and of whats printed in English (or at all), I'm only missing one card (oh no "Roulette Spider doesn't exist- and "Alligator's Sword" isn't printed in English D:) I'm missing "Graceful Dice"

After that, the deck will pretty much look like this (traditional format):
Monsters (25)
Red-Eyes Black Chick
Time Wizard
Swordsman of Landstar
Flame Manipulator
Baby Dragon
Witch of the Black Forest
Little Winguard
Rocket Warrior

Yeah, a Water Control deck is... basically a "DAMMIT ITS PISSING ME OFF" kind of deck. You just screw around with their monsters, hand, traps and spells. It's pretty funny though. I saw someone use a Jinzo in their Water Control and it was pretty much downhill from there. I'm probably going to put together the A Legendary Ocean deck first then Water Control. The ALO deck, for me, is a mocking on my friend's Geartowns. Bad news is I can't get the structure deck. Only online since it's like a couple years old. And my parents won't buy it for me. But I'm playing with it on some sims. It's doing fairly well actually.

Zackrinian, your Joey deck is so totally epic that I want it. GIMME YOUR GILFORD :DDDD
 
I've been working on it for a while now, thanks XD You can find "Gilford the Lightning" on Ebay or something, I bought the tin.
 
We should duel :D There's an okay simulator. Kaiba Corp. Go Google it. I just downloaded it but it's weirdish.
 
I never really got into Yu-Gi-Oh until recently. When I was younger, I used to just look at cards with my best friend (who used to be a competitive duelist), and he gave me some of my favorites, like my Blue Eyes White Dragon and Hyozanryu. Last August, I started watching the Abridged Series out of boredom, then got really into it and watched the entire original series in Japanese, Season 0, and the first season of 5D's. So I dug up my old cards (2005 old) and it turns out I have a fairly decent A Legendary Ocean expansion. It's a shame many of the cards are banned. :/
 
Patar, if you get a chance to try out that online duel simulator thing, let me know if its any good. I found it a while back and just haven't gotten around to actually downloading/fiddling with it.

Zack, that's like a perfect replica, which is cool. But is the deck itself any good in practice? A lot of Joey's cards are luck-based, or situational. Not that I'm saying you shouldn't use it or anything, I'm just curious how well it actually plays. Oh, and no, either there's another Barrel Dragon that I don't know of or you have the name wrong, but it's obviously not the one I'm thinking of, then. :P

Flygon, the Abridged Series is epic, isn't it? :D I don't worry so much about the banned cards, because the way my friends play(ed), we completely ignored the banned lists, so unless you're like joining an official tournament or have a really picky opponent or something, you its probably more trouble than its worth to follow the lists.

We had a shop down here called Beaver's Wallpaper (no really), and for whatever reason, they also sold trading cards for all kinds of games, and every weekend they'd have a YuGiOh tournament where the winner got a free pack of their choice. I was never good enough to compete in a tournament, but one time my friends Jack, Cory and I pooled our cards and made one deck out of them and entered it. I wouldn't say it was a competitive tournament, but it wasn't full of beginners either, but either way, Jack won (using our pool deck, since we obviously couldn't have the three of us teamed up). So yeah, that was pretty sweet, but anyway, that was the only time I've ever followed the ban lists.
 
Yeah, the name is wrong... The deck itself works pretty well, from my experiences. The only real stickler I find is the card "Magical Arm Shield" because your opponent needs to have two monsters on the field, and if you play the deck my way, you can pretty effectively keep your opponent with one monster unless they're using "Ultimate offering" or their monsters are Damn strong, which you have "Panther Warrior" and "Gearfried the Iron Knight for basically, and "Axe Raider" if you're in a pinch. Another thing that sucks is summoning "Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon" because you have to summon it from your deck. I wish I could get "Roulette Spider" and "Alligator's Sword", however. I don't particularly like "Armored Lizard", and "roulette Spider's Effect is just plain epic, no matter how dangerous it can be. It is:

Halve your life points, then select the strongest monster on the field, and flip a coin.
If Heads: Number your opponent's monster zone 1-5 from left to right. Roll a dice and the selected monster attacks the monster zone that corresponds to the result. If the result is 6, your opponent is attacked directly.
If Tails: Number your monster zones 1-5 from left to right. Roll a dice and the selected monster attacks the monster zone that corresponds to the result. If the result is 6, you are attacked directly.

I love it. Me and my friends play with traditional format, so I can pull off this deck. I still produce decks that follow the current banned/restricted list, however. I do that to keep in mind the cans/cant's if I ever join a tournament. And judging by my friend's collective frustration with most of my decks, I would kick some serious ass.

EDIT!: Something I forgot to mention was, originally, there were far to many lv5 and above monsters in comparison to the ones lv4 and below, so I fixed that by adding five more monsters, getting to a grand total of 25 monsters. Before, there were like 7 lv5 and above, but only 13 lv4 and below. That doesn't sound bad, but it is. Also, "The Legendary Fisherman" and "Insect Queen" (which I don't actually have), are supposed to be in the side deck, where Joey keeps them. I do have "The Legendary Fisherman", but not "Insect Queen".

um, revive?

I am worried, to a degree, about the possible strength of two decks I recently made, that I would like to possibly use in some tournaments. Both I made sure are up-to-date with the forbidden/ban list. I just didn't know where else to get assistance.

the first is a Dark World deck. I like it, but it seems... weak-ish. as a heads up, I don't have Reign-Beaux, so don't try to mention it.

Monsters
CopyCat
Kuriboh
Gren, Tactician of Dark World
Kahkki, Guerilla of Dark World
Scarr, Scout of Dark World
Marshmallon (yes.)
Broww, Huntsman of Dark World

Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World x2
Pitch-Black Warwolf
Brron, Mad King of Dark World x2
Renge, Gatekeeper of Dark World

Misfortune

Traps
Blasting the Ruins
Miniaturize

So yeah, that. I'm not too sure about it, but it has some nice strategies.

This other one I like better, but it has less of a theme.

monsters
Charcoal Inpachi
Kuriboh
Mask of Darkness
Dice Jar
Armored Zombie
Kryuel

Swords of Revealing Light
Magical Mallet
Back to Square One
Shield Crush

traps
Call of the Haunted
Dust Tornado
Magic Cylinder
Waboku
Scrap-Iron Scarecrow

The second one is more my style, negate just about anything that comes your way/beatdown, so. I love the Ectoplasmer/Malice Doll of Demise combo, and the Scarecrow is plain annoying. thoughts/help appreciated.
 
I'm afraid I don't know anything about any new releases within the last like two years, so I cant' really help with the Dark World deck. The other one, though... it seems a bit... strange. I've never heard of half the cards (man, I'm so out of date...), so I'm sure that doesn't help, but from the ones I do recognize...

The basic monsters look rather weak. Last I checked, wasn't 1900 attack the "level 4 powerhouse" stat? Opticlops, La Jinn, etc. have 1800, so they'll probably be crushed against a beatdown-style deck. I'm curious why you have Zera the Mant in there, too. If I remember, he doesn't have an effect, so he's kind of a waste to summon. Unless you have some reason for it with the cards that I don't recognize to support him.

Ookazi? Isn't that that spell that does an auto 800 LP damage? To me, it seems like a waste of a draw, honestly. The rest looks alright, I suppose.

Like I said, I'm really outdated, so for all I know, the deck works fine, but it looks off from my perspective. I'm sorry I can't be of any real help.

In other news, I really want to build a Chaos deck, but I don't have any of the necessary cards, save a spare Chaos Sorcerer.
 
Well, The Mant doesn't have an effect, but he does work well as a 2800 beatstick. His main purpose, however, is to be a sacrifice for my Great Maju Garzett, whose attack points become double of what the monster used to summon him had for an original attack (if that makes sense), so 5600 attack isn't bad.

And I'm fairly certain that the average attack stat in any regular old deck is around 1600, so 1800 is decent.

Charcoal Inpachi is a level one Pyro-monster with 100 attack and 2100 defence.
Scrap-Iron Sacrecrow is a Normal Trap Card that negates your opponent's attack, and is then set back face-down.

Those are really the only ones I can think of that are really new-ish (in Charcoal Inpachi's case)

Ahh. Well, I'm sure there's better monsters than Zera for that, but that still pretty cool.

I dunno, maybe it's just how I play, since I'm mostly playing... against myself. But my fiend deck has a lot of monsters with 1600 attack, and it gets owned by most of my other serious decks. Granted, it doesn't have the best support for them, either. At least you have equip cards for power boosts.

Those are two of the new ones to me. That scarecrow trap thing is sick. No drawbacks?

The ones I don't recognize are: Kryuel, Abaki, Zure, Knight of Dark World, Symbols of Duty, Back to Square One, and Shield Crush. I'd look them up on Wikia, but for whatever reason it refuses to load.
 
ah. Kryuel is like Newdoria, but only you have to flip a coin, and call it right.

Abaki is a level three Fiend Monster with 1700 attack and I honsetly forget the Defense. It's low, okay? If it is destroyed by battle (I think, anyway, it's not right in front of me) both players take 500 damage.

Zure, Knight of Dark World is just a level four monster with 1800 attack.

Symbols of Duty is an equip spell card that allows you to resurrect any monster from your grave for the price of a normal monster on your field. (it's kind of like a stupid premature burial)

Back to Square One is a normal magic card that allows you to return one monster on your opponent's side of the field to the top of their deck at the cost of one card in your hand. (very useful, actually)

Shield Crush, like the name indicates, destroys one defense-position monster on the field.

Hope that helps!
