Hello, fellow duelists!! I’ve been “retired” from Yu-Gi-Oh for probably half a year now or something like that. However, one of my friends and I kind of slipped back into the style.. in case any of you remember Sir Kirby of Pink’s reports, I plaed a Gravity Bind deck with an emphasis on Princess of Tsurugi, Hayabusa Knight, and Dream Clown. He only new cards added to the deck were 2 Swarm of Scarabs and 1 Stealth Bird, which I immediately fell in love with. Other than that, my newest cards were from LOD.. Old School. I played a tournament 2 weeks ago with that deck, and then decided something: When I first began playing this great game at the young, fresh age of 12 I think.. I was inspired by a muchacho named Ricky, who set me up with my first deck ever: an 1800 attacker beat down that I loved. However, after maybe a month, I grew tired of playing the same as everyone else, and adopted one of Ricky’s old decks (he had switched to a turbo deck with Exodia side-decked, VERY nice) which was the Gravity Bind deck. I have played and loved that same old school Ricky-inspired deck ever since.. a week ago. However, last Friday, my friend and I decided we should slap together something new, something no one would expect from me..
So, we broke out my old binder and my (literally) shoebox of commons and went to work, reviving Ricky’s deck from when we last saw him, about a year ago. A Turbo Cannon Soldier deck. When I get some money, I’m going to get a hold of some Exodia pieces and go from there. However, allow me to introduce my newest deck: Ode to Ricky.
Monsters (18)
3x Cannon Soldier
3x Spear Cretin (FLIP: After this card is flipped, when it s destroyed both you and your opponent select 1 monster from your respective graveyards and special summon it on the field in face-up attack or face-down defense position)
3x Troop Dragon
2x Amazon Archer
2x Jowls of Dark Demise
1x Cyber Jar
1x Sangan
1x Magician of Faith
1x Witch of the Black Forest
1x Twin-Headed Behemoth
Magic (15)
3x Soul Exchange
3x Last Will
2x Messenger of Peace
2x The Shallow Grave
1x Scapegoat
1x Change of Heart
1x Pot of Greed
1x Snatch Steal
1x Monster Reborn
Traps (8)
3x Gravity Bind
2x Ultimate Offering
1x Imperial Order
1x Ceasefire
1x Solemn Judgment
So there you have it: The Deck. It’s not perfect yet, but it will be eventually. One thing you will notice (and probably e-mail me about, despite my best efforts) is that this deck does not contain many staples such as Magic Cylinder, Mirror Force, Raigeki, etc. This is because I don’t plan on getting attacked. With 5 (soon 6) cards to stop attacks, and plenty of Soul Exchange and that lucky Solemn Judgment for Jinzo, I’m usually ok. Now, on to..
This was an official sanctioned tournament, with official bullcrap tournament packs, and official beat stick decks all up on my grill... son... dawg G homie skillet scratch. Ok, I’m done. Here it goes!

Weeee… I lost the first match :/ I didn’t have anything to take notes with, and it happened a week ago, but basically Jon is Evan’s little brother, and they’re both spoiled rich kids whose parents buy them all the cards they want! 8D But whatever, I make do. The first match actually was going in my favor to begin, he has a solid beatdown with all the Skilled Darks and Gorillas and Zombrya (Zombyra?) and so onand so on and the like. However, he has NO M/T removal!! Yay! Long story short, I was owning him with a Cannon Soldier and Gravity Bind until he Tribe-Infected my Soldier, Mbed it, sacrificed it for a Jinzo and did 2400. Next turn I set a Cyber Jar and he Raigeki’s it and summons a nice little Yata for the lock and win.
Match two went to me!! I started with a lucky hand: Cannon Soldier, Last Will, Troop Dragon, Pot of Greed, Gravity Bind, and drew a Twin-Headed. My PoG gave me a Ceasefire and Sangan… Woo boy!! Set GB, play Cannon Soldier,and end. He plays Skilled White and attacks, GB. Next turn I draw Ultimate Offering. Set Offering and Ceasefire and set Sangan, end. Next turn he sets a monster and ends. I draw Solemn Judgment, which I set. Summon Troop Dragon and Twin-Headed via Ultimate Offering, Last Will, sac the Dragon for his brother and Last Will brings out Amazon Archer and I ceasefire for 3500. Archer sacrifices Sangan, 2 Dragons, and Twin-Headed for 2400 direct. Sangan (for 500 life) brings out Witch which is sacrificed along with Cannon Soldier for 1200 and brings out (for 500 life) Spear Cretin (first monster I found :x) and is sacrificed with the Archer for 1200 direct: a total of 8300. Turboesque.
Miraculously, I lost Match Three. I didn’t keep my eye on the timer and we ended up having 5 minutes to play. On turn 3, right before my big combo, I Solemn Judgmented a Scapegoat (yes, I was going to win that turn) that would have prevented 2000 from a Reborned Hayabusa. It dropped me to 4000 life and the time ran out. He grabbed up his deck before I could remind him that I still got to finish my turn… he was prepared to fight to the death over that rule, but I was tired and just wanted to watch my friend play anyway 8P
So, it ends. Oh well. Props to Ricky once again for a great deck.
