Subject: Things you should know and some other things- Gamer X09 Since i had some spare time, i thought i should write some things every duelists should know. (note: this is not a rant! Well, if it is, it wasn't meant to be one) Oh, and yes this is my first tip on pojo, so little to no negative mail please. 1. I know you have all heard this before, but i want to make it clear. The god cards have NO affects! Look at the English versions. Does it say "effect" by its type? No. Therefore it has no effect. And the Japanese god cards also have no effects. The effects only apply to the You-GI-oh! anime/manga. 2. Imperial order's pay cost IS optional. I went to the official site and they said it was optional. Same for Mirror wall and other LP pay cards 3. If you have a Legendary Fisherman on the field, a um, and no other monsters, your opponent CAN attack you directly (upper deck ruling). So always have another monster on the field. 4. This part IS a rant. I dint understand why people steal other peoples cards. Is it because they have to have those cards so they can win the tournament? Is it because they can sell it for lots of money? Is it because they are VERY hardcore collectors (or something like that.)? Well i dont care. This is a message to all you thieves: keep the ____ (i would put a curse word in that space, but the rules.) out of our lives!!!!!!!!!!!! 5.Why do people bash and rant on deck types and certain cards? I mean i have seen SO many rants on beatdowns that it isnt funny. Those people put hard work into their decks. Dont ruin their fun by bashing their deck. And about cards. Why do people bash them? Like Yata-garasu. I know he is kinda cheap, but i really like it (because i have one :) ) You would probably like him 2 if yu got one. But its just a game! Nuff said. 6. Why do people limit their decks to about 3-5 trap cards because of Jinzo?? I can give you a few good reasons to not limit your traps to such a little number because of Jinzo. A. Jinzo is resticted to 1! B.He is secret rare, so he is very, very hard to find. C. If he is destroyed, then voila! You can use your traps. D. Tribute monster (not the best reason, but oh well). E. 5 words: solemn judgement, horn of heaven. F. Hmmm..nope, thats all i can think of. 7. How come people bash others because of there deck size? Ya, i know it tends to be better if you have a smaller deck size, but you shouldnt insult them if there deck is 50,60,or even 100 cards. 8. People, PLEASE be original when making your deck! Make a deck that suits you instead of a deck that u think will always kick a**. For example, i run a water deck with some extra cards (non-water monsters). Sof you feel comfortable with a beatdown, thats ok. If you feeel better using a burner or exodia, thats fine 2. Just be yourself. 9. Here is another thing i have noticed that i dont understand. Why does everyone get upset about picture changes to female cards? Please tell me why. I'll gladly listen to what you have to say. 10. Lastly, about tributes, rituals, and fusions. Why do people always say they all suck? (except maybe for jinzo) I know some can suck badly (curse of drage for one), but some are great. Like Dark Balter the terrible.(if you dont know about Dark Balter, see www.tw.com for his effect) He is a fusion, and I think he is great. His effect is cool. Like a magic jammer and Ha des combined. so please try them out b4 yu bash them. thats it for now.
