New Yugioh Booster Pack: Storm of Ragnarok

The new Yugioh booster pack, Storm of Ragnarok, was released four days ago. The Storm of Ragnarok features cards in the distorted timeline arc such as Stardust Shimmer, Zero Force, and the cover card of the pack; Odin, Father of the Aesir. The fierce ruler of Asgard has the ability to revive itself by removing a ‘Nordic Ascendant’ monster from play when destroyed. For the turn that it’s special summoned, Odin is unaffected by spell trap cards. Along with Odin, the other two (powerful) Nordic legends, Loki and Thor, are available in the pack as well!

The Storm of Ragnarok looks like an awesome booster pack, not only because of the release of the Nordic Gods, but of the loads of support it brings for new archetypes as well. The Legendary Samurai archetype gets a lot of support, as a semi-archetype known as the Legendary Six Samurai debut in this booster pack. Blackwings also get some good support and there as a powerful new addition to the Elemental Hero archetype as well (Elemental Hero Ice Edge)! Storm of Ragnarok will also be featured in the upcoming Yugioh video game, World Championships 2011: Over the Nexus.

I just watched the awesome Yugioh movie Bonds Beyond Time and I really wanted to do a monster card comparison between monsters from two of the characters. I decided to do a comparison on Junk Warrior and Elemental Hero Flame Wingman, two of the most clutch monsters owned by Yusei and Jaden respectively.

1. Junk Warrior

It’s easy to summon, strong, and has a great effect. It’s safe to say that Junk Warrior is a cool monster. Not to mention that he was the first card to be created in the 5Ds series! Junk Warrior is one of the best sidekicks a duelist can have with 2300 attack points and 1400 defense points Plus, when it’s synchro summoned, Junk Warrior gains attack equal to all the level two and lower monsters you control. A great effect if you need something going for you on offense! I also love Junk Warrior’s futuristic design as well!

Artwork: 7/10, Playability: 9/10, Effect: 7/10, Power: 8/10, Deck Adaptation: 10/10, Game Changer: 7/10. Junk Warrior gets an overall score of 8/10 – B-.

2. Elemental Hero Flame Wingman

Ah, whenever I look at Elemental Hero Flame Wingman, it brings back fond memories of the good old Yugioh GX days. Flame Wingman is another ferocious monster. With 2100 attack points, it not only is a powerful, easy-to-summon fusion monster, but it has a great effect too. Whenever Flame Wingman destroys a monster, your opponent loses life points equal to the destroyed monsters attack points, an effect that can be very clutch in a close duel. Oh, and have you seen it’s artwork? Phenomenal.

Artwork: 9/10, Playability: 8/10, Effect: 9/10, Power: 7/10, Deck Adaptation 7/10 (Elemental Hero decks aren’t as popular), Game Changer: 9/10. Elemental Hero Flame Wingman gets an overall score of 8.2/10.

As much as I like both monsters, Flame Wingman wins this overall battle. However, statistically speaking (Artwork is excluded), Junk Warrior wins 41/50 to Flame Wingman’s 40/50.

My Idea For a Yugioh Video Game

Yugioh video games are relatively fun; in the old Yugioh World Championship games, all you’d do is duel and collect cards, solve tough duel puzzles, etc… After the release of Yugioh Stardust Accelerator and Reverse of Arcadia, players actually followed a specific storyline and could even duel in duel runners! The game, Yugioh 5Ds Wheelie Breakers is a very fun racing game that utilizes monsters/spells/traps as ways of slowing down your opponent(s), similar to Mario Kart. Now, what if there was a Yugioh video game that combined the racing aspects of Wheelie Breakers, the RPG aspects of Yugioh Stardust Acceleration/Reverse of Arcadia, and merged it into an epic 3D game for the three major consoles? I bet it would be the greatest Yugioh game ever created.

This game (I would want it to be named Yugioh: Duelists Origins) would follow an alternate Yugioh storyline that starts after the Dark Signers are defeated. The main player lives in an alleyway in New Domino City as a renown technician throughout the black market. Yusei and co. are introduced to the player through Rally in order to upgrade their duel runners and the player is welcomed to their group. There would be some filler missions here and there but the main storyline would be about (illegal) underground duel racing and how a group of mobsters challenge Yusei and co. and the player in duel races. Soon, the hobby spirals out of the control and Yusei and co. and the player have to fight the mobsters for their lives.

Duelist Origins would be like Assassin’s Creed/Grand Theft Auto minus the violence and other suggestive themes. You would be able to create an avatar and follow a set storyline. However, players can upgrade their duel runners by going into various shops in New Domino City (each shop sells and upgrades different parts), obtain new cards by winning local tournaments, make money by doing missions for commoners or by partaking in duel races, and enter super-stardom by winning big tournaments. The best part is that all the while, players would be able to roam (yes, even ride their duel runners) freely around New Domino City! And if the player is causing too much havoc, a duel race occurs between Trudge and the player occurs. Trudge’s difficulty increases after each encounter and if the player loses, they have to give Trudge half of their savings.

This game is too good to be true, but if something like this did come into the market, I’d be the first person to buy it. As much as I love the Yugioh games that are already out, they get boring since all you do is duel! If you are familiar with the Naruto series, the early Naruto games were just about fighting, but once games such as Naruto Rise of the Ninja and Naruto Ultimate Ninja came out, players could enjoy fighting people and roaming around Konoha. As a result, the Naruto franchise’s sales rose immensely.

Do you guys like Yugioh: Duelist Origins? What are some of your ideas for a new Yugioh game?

Underrated Yugioh Cards

Goyo Guardian, Dark Bribe, Monster Reborn, these are some of the several cards that duelists consider to be “top-notch.” Then there are cards like Cockroach Knight, Destructive Draw, and Mooyan Curry that make you wonder, “Why were these cards ever made?” However, what I love about Yugioh is that, although there’s a large population of cards everyone has to watch out for and cards people don’t even have to give a second glance, there is also a big population of less popular cards that are actually very helpful. These cards are essential to have in a good deck because they can just come out and bite the opponent; underrated cards.

If something is underrated, it’s not as bad as it is depicted to be. However, being underrated doesn’t necessarily mean you’re top-notch material also, which is commonly seen in sports. In Yugioh though, most underrated cards are actually really powerful. One of the cards I think deserves to be more commonly used and should be acknowledged is Magic Drain, which negates the activation of a spell card and destroys. Magic Drain’s effect can be negated if you’re opponent discards a card, so either, a spell card is going to the grave. That can be huge, especially in this generation of Yugioh, where level-controlling and tuner summoning cards are big.

Another card that isn’t very well known is Cold Wave. Those who have heard of it know its power, but not a lot of people seem to know of it. Cold Wave is a great spell to have especially if you play a beatdown deck. It “freezes” your and your opponent’s spell & trap card zone (can’t set or activate any spells and traps) starting form your Main Phase 1 to your next Main Phase 1. This is big because if your opponent can’t use their biggest defensive asset (traps, sometimes even spells) even for one turn, they are in trouble. It’s an average card to have in regular decks, but if you play a deck with lots of high attack monsters, Cold Wave is generates a lot of offensive opportunities.

There many cards that underrated but can provide great support for a deck. I think it’s incumbent for a good duelist to be able to classify less popular cards as efficient and not let them go to waste.

Life Stream Dragon – The Sixth Dragon

For all of you guys who follow Yugioh 5Ds, be prepared to be shocked because tomorrow, on episode 143, the dragon we have all been anticipating to see will be revealed: Life Stream Dragon! Before Crow was revealed to be signer and Black Wing Dragon was revealed to be the “fifth dragon,” Life Stream Dragon had produced many cults because everyone that it was the fifth dragon, and due to its resemblance with Power Tool Dragon, they thought Leo was the fifth signer. Well, their guesses proved to be true as Leo is the sixth signer and bears the heart of the Crimson Dragon.

In the anime, Life Stream Dragon is created when the Crimson Dragon gives Leo the power to evolves= Power Tool Dragon, however, what do you think its summoning conditions will be in the actual Yugioh card game? My guess is there’s going to be card called “Ancient Evolution” or something along the lines of that, which allows you to sync Power Tool Dragon and any tuner to synchro summon Life Stream Dragon. Based on its name, I suspect Life Stream Dragon is going to have an awesome life point regeneration effect, probably something along the lines of when this monster is synchro summoned, the user gains life points equal to the attack points of the strongest monster on your opponent’s side of the field. When this monster destroys an opposing monster, your opponent loses life points equal to half the destroyed monster’s attack points and you gain those life points.

I was actually pretty surprised to hear Leo was a signer because in the anime, the legend says that there were only five signers. Maybe Leo and Luna count as one signer, who knows? Another question that’s nagging my mind about Life Stream Dragon is, after it fought with the Earthbound Gods, how did it become mechanical (Power Tool Dragon)? Hopefully those questions will be answered in the upcoming episodes. Either way, Life Stream Dragon is going to be one heck of a monster!

Yugioh Cards Blog has many top 10 posts; I find top 10 posts are really cool because it not only helps people on that subject but describes the person writing it as well. That’s why, to start off 2011, I decided to have a Top 10 contest! It’s actually a pretty simple contest; all you have to do is choose a subject and make a top 10 list out of it. Your subject can be anything: normal monsters, OTK decks, counter traps, Frog archetype monsters, etc… Your list will be judged on these criteria:

Actuality (if Thousand-Eyes Idol is number in a Top 10 Monsters list, then something is wrong…)
Explanation (you’re explanation should be fluid and it should make me understand why you think this card deserves to be on the list)
Grammar (self-explanatory)
Creativeness (don’t just make a Top 10 Spells list, or a Top 10 Monsters list, be creative with your subject! How about a Top 10 Cards in Jaden’s Deck or something like that? Be creative!)
I can’t wait to see what kind of lists people come up with! The winner will be announced on Jan.30, good luck!

Yugioh Blog’s Top 5 Posts of 2010

2010 has come to an end! Before I start with the post, I wish everyone a happy new year and I hope you guys had a great holiday!

Statistically, 2010 was a gargantuan year for Yugiohblog. I had 212,000 visits this year, almost four times as much as the 68,000 I received throughout 2009. Just like I did in last year’s New Year’s Eve, I want to take everyone down memory lane and see what five posts were the most popular in 2010:

5. Yugioh Dark Armed Dragon VS. Judgement Dragon

This was the first and most popular ‘VS.’ post in Yugiohblog. I compared to monsters, Dark Armed Dragon and Judgement (based on power, deck compatibility, artwork, etc…) and selected which one was strongest of the two.

4. Top 15 Strong and Easy Monsters to Summon

The longest set of posts I’ve ever written, Top 15 Strong and Easy Monsters to summon looked 15 monsters that were not only helpful to many decks, but that could be brought out with ease as well. Tribe Infecting Virus was the number one on this list.

3. Top 5 Monster Archetypes

Overall, these three posts combined for a whopping 300 comments! Top 5 Monster Archetypes was about what the name suggests: the five most lethal and deadly monster archetypes in Yugioh. The X-Saber archetypes was number one on this list.

2. Strongest Yugioh Monster Card

This post may not have gotten as many comments compared to part 1 and 3 of the Top 5 Monster Archetypes but, it is at number two because it is ranked at #4 in the top content page in my stats tracker. Strongest Yugioh Monster Card looked at monsters who not only had great effects, but great stats as well. I concluded that while Yubel TUN was the strongest monster in Yugioh effect-wise, Five Headed Dragon was the strongest in terms of “overall package.”

1. Cards Everyone Should Have In a Deck

Not only was this post the most-commented post of 2010, it was the controversial as well (wink, wink). This post was about cards I thought would be a big help to any type of duelist, advanced or beginner. However, choices such as Rush Recklessly and Poison of the Old Man made this post infamous!

Who is the Worst Duelist In the Yugioh Anime?

The main message throughout the three seasons of Yugioh (Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yugioh GX, and Yugioh 5Ds), we have continuously been reminded that the key to victory is believing in the “heart of the cards.” Though that ideal would be completely useless in the real world, it seems to work for duelists in the anime, notably Yugi/Atem, Jaden, and Yussei, which is why those three are the best duelists in the anime. Obviously, there are strong duelists as well: Joey, Kaiba, Chazz, Syrus, Crow, Jack, etc… and to some extent, the “heart of the cards” ideal works for them too. Then we have the crappy duelists, protagonist characters characters that are affected by the HOTC ideal, but still are terrible duelists: Duke Devlin, Alexis, Leo, etc…

The best part about Yugioh is when you see strong duelists overcome difficult adversities and as a result, are overcome by sudden happiness and inspiration. Of course, seeing duelists get destroyed in a duel(s) is another great part Yugioh, for that brings the humorous aspect to the show, which gets me to my point. In your guys’ opinion, who is that one duelist that you feel great pleasure in seeing lose? That one duelist that you feel doesn’t even deserve to be called a duelist? In short, who is the worst duelist in Yugioh? For me, the answer is Leo, what about you guys (note: this has to be a legit duelist, Tea for example, doesn’t count as she isn’t a pure duelist)?
