The Shining Darkness
Yo peeps! It's been a while since I've last posted but I've been kind of busy. Well Konami has released info on one of the new exclusives for the TCG for The Shining Darkness. It's name is XX-Saber Boggart Knight. Its a crazy 1900 attack point monster that has a Marauding Captain special summoning effect exclusive for the X-Saber theme. Its downside is that you can only use it for a X-Saber Synchro but that's perfectly fine if you're playing X-Sabers. Also The Shining Darkness is bringing X-Saber Pashuul and X-Saber Palomuro both that were exclusive to the Duel Terminal and the OCG. Will X-Sabers become a tier one deck in The Shining Darkness? Only time will tell since no one has any idea what Konami is capable of.

Yugioh and Math
They have more in common than you may believe. I'm pretty sure everyone has heard of plus 1's and minuses in their yugioh careers. If not then let me break it down.
A plus is something that was added to your over all card presence. A minus means you lost an extra card worth of card presence.
For example. A typical plus 1 in a Lightsworn deck is Wulf and Garoth. Both add cards to your economy while doing relatively nothing. Lets say you have six cards with your field and hand combined. And you control a Lumina and Garoth. At endphase lets say Lumina mills nothing important but Garoth mills a Wulf. Wulf will special summon itself onto the field and Garoth will let you draw one card from your deck as a result of milling a Lightsworn. Now your card economy should be 8. You are now 2 cards ahead of your opponent had this been the first turn of the duel and the duel should be in your favor.
An example of a minus is when you trade of cards that leaves you with a worse economy than your opponent. Lets say my opponent has a Shura on the field with a set Icarus attack. Let's say I special summon a Cyber Dragon and I have a set Trap Stun. We both control 6 cards in our economy. I attack Shura with Cydra. My opponent responds with Icarus attack tributing Shura and targeting Cydra and Trap Stun. If I respond with Trap Stun my opponent will not be able to destroy my Cydra. Now his total card economy is 4 while mine is 5. All because my opponent expected a 2-2 trade off and I messed that up by using one card to nullify a 2-2 trade.
An even trade is usually expressed in terms of how many cards you used to rid your opponent of cards. Lets say My opponent controls 2 Judgment Dragons and nothing else. And I control 2 cards in my economy. If I use Lightning Vortex to dispatch the 2 monsters then I have clearly created a 2-2 trade off. I spent 2 cards to get rid of 2 cards. Now If my opponent had 3 Judgment Dragons then clearly he would be cheating but lets say for educational purposes he does have 3 of them on the field. And I have 3 cards worth of economy. If I use Lightning Vortex I effectively created a minus for my opponent while since I used up 2 cards to get rid of 3.
1 for 1's are even easier to understand. It's simply one card is used to rid one other. 1 for 1 cards can only take out 1 card no matter what the situation is. Since when have you seen a Smashing Ground destroy 2 or more monsters? Never right? Good.
Well that's it for today. I'll start updating my blog more often now that I have more time. Check out my Youtube channel and subscribe to me!

Tournament Report
Today I decided to enter a tournament at my locals. I haven't entered a tournament since Shonen Jump Los Angeles. I borrowed a Dimensional Eatos deck from my friend and entered with it. I went 2-3.
My first round I faced my teammate and he raped me with Icarus Attack game 1 and 3. He was playing Blackwings of course.
My second round opponent was a friend of mine who seemed to be playing DivaDad or some Absolute Zero build. Not really sure. Dimensional Fissure and D.D. Survivors wrecked his field.
My third round opponent was running monarchs and he kept getting rid of my D-Fissures with them. I didn't draw my Skill Drains.
My fourth Round opponent didn't show. Sad face.
My fifth round opponent was running Counter Fairies. He main decked triple Fissure and triple Smashing Ground. Since the deck ran little monsters I got pwned. He magic Drained my Gemini Sparks!!!!
Oh well. Had fun. Got some cards for my Infernity deck. Next week is regionals. I hope they get me to judge. If they don't then I'll probably play. I'm going to be running my GB deck with 3 Starlight Road. They come out on Tuesday but I'm getting them tomorrow!!
Till next time!

Yes. That's a lot of traps. With Dimensional Eatos as my worst match up, the deck needed a large amount of monster removal. All the spell and trap removal is in the side. 2 Cyber Dragons bait out the bottomless and are quite useful for synchro summoning into level 8 monsters. Let me know what you think. All comments and questions are appreciated and I will get back to you soon.

I'm Back!
Its been a while since I've updated my blog because I switched internet services and was without the web for about a week. Now I'm back! I recently bought 3 Machina Force Structure decks on Monday as well as 2 boxes off Absolute Powerforce. I pulled decent from both boxes but didn't pull the secret I wanted. I got Shield Wing and Djinn. Like I was saying. The Machina deck is really good. They have their own Stratos that searches for any machina monster. They have a boss card that can easily be summoned and they deck packs awesome cards like Cyber Valley and D-Prison as commons. I've built my own Machina deck but haven't tested it against an actual person yet becuase I've been at home all week. Apparently Machina is good with the Ancient Gear Dragon. The deck runs Trade In's as draw power and the Stratos machine thins the deck whiile Scrap Recycler allows you to set up Fortress when its summoned and allows you to draw 1 by recycling 2 level 4 fallen machines. The deck looks really impressive and makes Chimera Fortress Dragon more dangerous since it can be used against you. I'll post my own deck list soon after testing it. On another note I am judging this Saturday at the Long Beach Regionals.
