Subject: pharoah's servant, rules, RANT (brief)

this is my first rant.

it'll be short. maybe.

first off, I LOVE pharoah's servant.

i think it brings strategy to a new level in
Yu-gi-oh!, and it compliments Magic Ruler nicely,
which I didn't like all that much by itself.

second off, it annoys me that there are stores out
there that let players use PSV in tourney's.

unofficial tournaments, fine, it's at the discretion
of the store.

but official tournament centers who let PSV get used
are, well, a JOKE.

don't set arbitrary restrictions like one of any PSV
card in a deck. here's an idea...

follow the rules.  if there are no restrictions for a
set, don't use it. until upperdeck releases updates,
DON'T use it.


third off, it's amazing how many tourney reports I
read where "combos" are being pulled off that,
frankly, should never happen were judges present that
knew what the heck they were doing.

in a related note, i recently returned to a store I
used to duel at but boycotted after they cost me 200
plus tournament points, and found, to my horror and
amusement that the judges didn't know what the HECK
they were doing.

apparently, there are quite a few people out there
that think Griggle/Ameba can be used in a way other
than the card lists.

" when control shifts to your opponent..."  ah, how
those six words gave glee to opportunists who saw a,
well, opportunity to try and get away with something.

anyway, the head judge agreed with another duelist who
thought that if you summon Griggle/Ameba to the field
in attack mode (although summon in attack mode is
redundant, sorry), that as soon as it is your
opponents turn, you gain life points/do lp damage to
your opponent.

one guy's entire deck was based around those cards!

IDIOTS!

Yeah, and Adam from RedRum, I told you so. Everyone,
there is now an update on the FAQ at Upperdeck that
specifies what "control shift" means. Jeez.

It's called Magical Box of Death people, and until
that card comes out, Griggle and Ameba are mostly
worthless. Look it up at Edo's Yugioh Website. Matter
of fact, anyone who hasn't been there, go, now, and
read as much as you can, 'cause you'll be a much more
informed duelist as a result.

In regards to the Change of Heart, Fairy's Hand Mirror
combo with Griggle/Ameba, blah blah blah, uneccesarily
complex. Show me something new, ahhhh, you don't got
it! Now go away.

Closing notes...

Quarter 1 is now officially over. Congratulations to
all the top duelists out there.

Pray that Upperdeck doesn't make cool cards like
Cyberstein, Blue Eyes Ultimate, Card Crush Virus, etc. 
Tournament Pack Season 2 cards. That would suck.

And lastly...


For that kid who called Haybusa Knight a Pigeon, I'm
going to build a whole deck around three of those, and
when I smack you down in one turn with two of them
equipped with an axe of despair each, well, boo hoo
for you.


Late.

P.S.  No where in the official Yugioh rule book (that
came with the starter decks) do the words "main" and
"sub" modify "type."  A "main type" is called an
"attribute," and what everyone erroneously calls a
"sub-type" is actually called "type."

Let the war of words begin. Bring it.
