Aquiring New Yugioh Cards Through Trading and Other Methods

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

Like most duelists, my first deck was a starter deck. I was so excited to have that deck and I was ready to pummel my friends in duel. But sometimes I lost duels. This post will talk how one can improve their deck to be better than their previous one and I will be using common examples I found on the internet as well as my own dueling experiances.

When I was about 10, I entered a Regional Tournament. The night before I had bought a Raviel, The Lord of Phantasms tin deck and had stuffed my deck full of strong level 5-10 monsters. Yeah I had a few level 4 and 3 monsters and some weak spells and traps but I thought I was going to win with only strong monsters. I lost all four of my matches and was elimenated from the tournament. Now what I want to share with young duelists is to balance your deck. The cards I had in my deck only had high attack, nothing. Suupose I had threw in a Negate Attack and replaced some of my high level monsters with lower level monsters that had effects relating to my deck theme. I might have won some duels.

Another common mistake people make is that they only rely on specific type of cards. My friend who I always duel against only uses fiend monsters. He never accepts strong cards from me unless their fiends. Here is the good side about this type of play: You can make deadly combos, the bad side: You’re limiting yourself to a specific type of cards and if you lose duels your not looking to change your monsters or your combos.

Both of these examples show how key it is to trade and buy cards. Go trade with your friends, people you know who have cards you like, any duelist you meet! Trading exposes you to knew cards and teaches you new strategies you’d like to use in the future. My Weaken and Destroy deck has been undefeated since 2007. Why, because I have traded and traded and exposed myself to new ideas! That is my trading is so important in dueling.

I hope all of you have learned the good that can come out of getting new Yugioh cards. You can collect cards for a special deck or one can even acquire cards just to sell them! These are some cards I would recommend you should get through trading, buying, etc:

  • Magic Cylinder
  • Scrap Metal Scare-Crow
  • Raigeki
  • Big Shield Gardna
  • Ghost Gardna
  • Rocket Warrior
  • Tornado
  • Turret Warrior
  • Skull Dice
  • Fighting Spirit
  • Negate Attack
  • Dark Armed Dragon

Yugioh Booster Pack: The Raging Battle

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
Yu-Gi-Oh Trident Dragon

Yu-Gi-Oh Trident Dragon

Raging Battle, the newest Yugioh booster pack, is set to be out in May. Raging Battle has Power Tool Dragon on the cover and revolves around dragon and rock type monsters. One thing that caught my eye when I was going over the spoiler list was that this booster pack was the debut for the Earthbound Immortals, the monsters Dark Signers use. Though there are only two in the pack, they are immensely rare.

Earthbound Immortal Ccapac-Apu, the strongest of the Earthbounds, is a very strong level 10 monster with 3000 attack and 2500 defense points. Ccapac-Apu is a burn monster as well. Whenever it destroys a monster it inflicts life points equal to the attack points of the destroyed monster to your foe. Plus, like all the Earthbound Immortals, it can attack directly.

Another monster that caught my eye in this booster pack was a card Goodwin uses halfway through the season, Trident Dragon. At first I thought this card was the 5th dragon, however it looked nothing like the pictures I’ve seen of the 5th dragon. Trident Dragon is tremendously strong with 3000 attack and 2800 defense points. You discard up to two cards on your field. Trident Dragon can once more if you discarded one card, or twice more if you discarded two. Its effect and power make it one of the most powerful monsters I’ve seen.

The Raging Battle seems like a good booster pack if you’re a user of dragon or rock type monsters. Ccapac-Apu is the rock god and Trident Dragon’s effect goes well with the card, Dragon Eggs or Stray Lambs. I thought Yugioh 5Ds cards were bad but with booster packs like Crimson Crisis and Raging Battle, I’m reconsidering my perception.

Black Wing Monsters: The Strongest Yugioh Winged-Beast Monsters?

Yu-gi-oh Blackwing Armor Master

Yu-gi-oh Blackwing Armor Master

Due to all the work I had to do before spring break, I didn’t have much time to write a post! Anyways though before I started my post, I wanted to answer a question I saw on Yahoo: How do you know if there are foil cards in your booster pack. Common and rare cards, foil cards have a special plastic over them that make them holographic which adds extra weight to the card. Therefore, you can get a pocket scaler and measure the weight of each pack and the heavier one’s will probably be the one with the foil cards.

In my last post, I talked about Assault Monsters, the new type of cards from Crimson Crisis. Today I will talk about the Black Wing monsters who also debuted in the Crimson Crisis. Black Wing monsters are the type of monsters Yussei’s friend Crow uses. Black Wing monsters are dark, winged-beast monsters. Black Wing monsters focus on changing attack and defense in order to weaken the opponent’s monsters. All Black Wing monsters can be swarmed, or summoned numerously.

The strongest Black Wing Monster is Armor Master. He’s a synchro monster so you can easily play him. When Armor Master attacks he can put a Wedge Token on that monster. The selected monster’s attack and defense are 0 for the turn. An amazing combo with Black Wing monsters is to summon all of them in one turn (it is possible due to their abilities) and then Black Wings Bora the Spear and Sirocco the Dawn will gain a ton of attack points with their special abilities.

I find the Black Wing Monsters interesting because their group abilities are very distinct. And in the show, Crow looks like a tough enough duelist to handle these cards. I’d like to see what they can do.

Yugioh 5Ds: Who is the Fifth Signer?

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Yugioh 5Ds has always revolved around people known as Signers. There are five Signers, one of which is unknown. Rex Goodman, tries to bring the Signers together in order to summon the Crimson Dragon Each Signer has a dragon and later in the story, they fight Dark Signers, duelists who try to revive the Grand Earthbound God. Now as I looked around the web, everyone was wondering who was the final Signer? I don’t have an answer but I might be able to give a guess.

Many people thought that Rex Goodman was the fifth Signer, however that cannot be true because when Akiza and Yussei summon Black Rose Dragon and Stardust Dragon, every Signers’ arm starts glowing except Goodwin’s. Plus when he showed his metal hand to Jack, there was no mark. If Goodwin was the last Signer he would immediately have a meeting with all the other Signers.

I thought the last Signer was Sayer, the leader of the Arcadian Movement, because he was always appearing in the scenes. Plus, I thought that he put Akiza in the tournament to find the other four Signers. However if he was the fifth Signer, than Akiza and Goodwin would have known and they would both say something to him. Sayer also lost his life when he lost a shadow duel against the Dark Signer, Carly. Important people of the plot such as Signer’s don’t just die like that.

My best guess for who the fifth Signer is Crow, because he has the same personality as Yusei and he also has a powerful dragon monster in this deck. Crow also looks like Singner material. However I may be wrong but it is still a fun mystery, who really is the fifth Signer?
