Tebezu on
YuGiOh
I recently had a dream that
involved me being held at gun
point by terrorist. This in and
of itself I assume one may call
a nightmare but the truth is
that the dream provided my body
an avenue in which it was not in
control. The very decision of
my existence lay in the hands of
another person. I remembered my
heart beating fast, my knees
clenching. I remember running
through a door, trying to escape
from those wretched souls
 who
believed it their duty to kill
me and all those around me. I
remember thinking how I suddenly
related to those still held
captive in the building I
escaped. Before the event they
were but other people, numbers,
nothing of significance. But
the instant our lives were
threatened I was instantly part
of a group. We were no longer
different but part of the same
mold. We were people whose only
concern in the world at that
moment was to live. I remember
escaping only to run into others
involved in the disgusting
situation. My heart began to
beat faster, my fight senses
conflicting with logic. If I
were to act in a manner of self
preservation that would
indirectly lead to my demise.
Yet if I did nothing and
cooperated with these self
acclaimed hero's, that too would
lead to my demise. I
know it was but a dream but
it seemed real, too real. The
very situation was nothing but
contradiction, the whole event
made me feel like someones tool.
I remember two terrorist
standing next to me negotiating
my future circumstances. One
said I could go, the other
agreed. But in that very
instant a gun was raised and a
bullet pierced my neck. My
throat swelled, my neck became
warm, and I woke to darkness.
All around each of us there
exist an assumption the world is
not safe. Freedom is not free
and thus enemies will always be
about trying to steal it away.
Currently at war against terror
the very concept of peace,
tranquility, and the like is but
a far fetched idea dreamed about
in the minds of children. If
this dream showed me anything it
is that power in any form
is blood. The power
to accomplish any goal removes
resources. Power, corruption,
and disagreement lead to real
life death and destruction.
This dream reinforces my belief
that mankind must function in a
self destructive manner. For
even in my dazed imaginary death
some idea was being followed,
some belief was being executed,
and I was a by-stander whose
existence was not my own. The
ability for all of us to eat,
work, drive, etc. requires a
power struggle against all kinds
of media. Life is a pursuit of
power. Only without logic's aid
will it consume us.
With all this
thinking about self destructive
behavior and the like I received
an email from
Rocky
Kavallion. We've
been corresponding for sometime
now about playable E-Hero decks
and as of yesterday I received a
version I liked that involved
self destructive behavior.
Milling ones own deck is both
risky and rewarding. We risk
losing vital cards but we also
provide ourselves with free
resources and the ability to
manipulate our graveyards.
This morning I messed around
with what he provided and
manipulated it a bit. Using his
backbone and ideas I ended up
with this list.
E-Hero (41)
Spells (13)
3x Miracle Fusion
2x Shrink
2x Reinforcements of the Army
1x Dimension Fusion
1x Nobleman of Crossout
1x Future Fusion
1x Snatch Steal
1x Heavy Storm
1x Premature Burial
Traps (5)
1x Ring of Destruction
1x Torrential Tribute
3x Royal Decree
Fusion
3x E-Hero Shining Pheonix
Enforcer
3x E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman
3x E-Hero Mudballman
3x E-Hero Thunder Giant
3x E-Hero Wildedge
3x E-Hero Wild Wingman
3x E-Hero Rampart Blaster
3x E-Hero Necroid Shaman
1x Cyber Twin Dragon
1x Cyber End Dragon
1x Sanwitch
1x Reaper on the Nightmare
Now this deck is in no way
perfect but it does provide a
directed view as to how an
E-Hero deck can function best.
The problem with this theme is
that a lot of good and bad
support exist and as such
implies deck space is limited.
Almost every deck in existence
has a pattern it follows and the
challenge is discovering a way
to make the new and old
compatible. Some of the ideas
Rocky spoke on included return
engines, Earth-Hex Seal Fusion,
etc. But one of the beauties of
E-Hero/D-Hero is that due to
their huge variety they offer
players multiple ways to fit
them into play styles all their
own. E-Hero Ocean, which just
came out works ridiculously well
with Skyscraper-2. Destiny Draw
and Dasher provide players an
avenue to run 3300, 3000, etc.
monsters without any costs.
This new format is shaping up to
be a defense orientated one if
your not playing an OTK. Even
Card Trooper (which sees play in
dragon return, (Once I get my
third, XYZ Dragon Cannon), Six
Samurai, etc.) is still being
used as a bluff to draw out
monarch effects or fuel
graveyards for various return
engines. D.D. Assailant and D.D.
Warrior Lady have started to
drop off the map completely.
The only reason they are in this
deck is due to Reinforcements of
the Army. These cards (some of
the best in my opinion) are no
longer inherit 1 for 1's. With
gadgets, demise, DDT, Stratos,
and a plethora of other self
replacing monsters jumping up
all over the place these
warriors have taken a sideline
seat. Monarch decks are the
poor mans choice and zaborg,
granmarg, soul exchange, brain
control, etc. make these kinds
of monsters useless. The new
chaos monsters (which I think
will just be a phase) are
another example of the warriors
fall from grace. Increase use
in Gravekeeper's Spy hurt
aggressive cards as well as the
giant germs everyone will be
running.
As an extra bonus for you all
reading this ridiculously long
article I've included a
batteryman deck developed by a
pojo fan using the alias Tsunamiboy!
I've been wanting to do an
article on batteryman for some
time now, but could not think of
a way to make it work. Thus the
following deck is all his
because you don't fix what isn't
broken.
Turbo Dragon (43)
Monsters(24) 3 Batteryman AA  3 Batteryman C 3 Batteryman D 3 X Head Cannon 2 Cyber Pheonix 2 Mirage Dragon 1 D.D. Warrior Lady 1 Proto Cyber Dragon 3 Super Electromagnetic Voltech Dragon 3 Cyber Dragon Spells(15) 3 Batterycharger 2 Inferno Reckless Summon 1 Power Bond 1 Overload Fusion 1 Future Fusion 2 Lightning Vortex 1 Magical Mallet 1 Limiter Removal 1 Megamorph 1 Snatch Steal 1 Heavy Storm Traps(4) 1 Sakuretsu armor 1 Call of the Haunted 1 Magic Cylinder 1 Torrential tribute Fusions(12) 3 Ojama King 3 Cyber Twin Dragon 3 Cyber End Dragon 3 Chimeratech Over Dragon
I've been messing around
with Cyberdark monsters and
plan on having an article on
them sometime within the
near future. I am currently
interested in building a Gem
Beast deck. Thus if anyone
wants to trade me a Sapphire
Pegasus, Rare Value, etc.
hit me up.
As always I'm looking for
creative duelist with
interesting ideas. I can be
contacted at....
