The Fridge at the End of the Universe - fridginators

w00t w00t w00t the Hitch Hikers Guide came out on movie! I watched at and literally roflmao. You should consider seeing it.

Now i dont know why i am writing this. Seriously i am just annoyed at n00b posts on CCG's, or maybe not enough posts. But anyway.

Some more stuff about stuffy stuff.
"Ahh nothing, it beats doing stuff."
"Yeah stuff sucks."

I think im going senile at the age of 13. Cool! But anyway.

1. PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANNOYING COMBOS!

PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANNOYING COMBOS! REALLY WHO WANTS TO READ THEM?

I hate reading combos. They waste all your time and all my time. Really who is gonna use Lady Ninja Yae or Ryu-Ki-Shin (or however you spell it) Clown.
Seriously, the CCG tips are for deck ideas, discussions and plain ranting.
But honestly, who likes reading these stupid combos with cards that NOBODY uses and would use? And most of the combos are lackluster or reqiure too many cards. I mean why dont i just draw Exodia rather than play a 7 card BEWD combo that isnt guarenteed to win me the game. I hate reading these damn things that waste my time.

2. Make sure all your info is correct.

Seriously there is nothing worse than mis-informing people, especially on Pojos. Like Napay, he told everyone that MST negates normal magic cards which it doesnt. And make sure your terminology is correct, using 1 card to kill 2 cards is called a 2 for 1. Not a 1 for 2, that means you killed 1 card with 2 of you cards, meaning you lose advantage. I really want this site to be the best it can, seriously. 2 years ago i played with fakes and didnt know anything. 2 years later, I'm a Nationals qualifier, and ALL of this goes to pojos help. Mis-informing people is disastrous. I admit i did make a mistake about Spell Shield Type-8, but i did correct myself the next article after one clever reader informed me about my mistake (stupid konami)

3. Never miss an opportunity to bag out Konami.

Am I joking? Hell no! I will give you points for bashing Konami. Ahh i guess it isnt that good to do it. BUT Konami have made some grave mistakes (Delinquent Duo, Chaos Emperor Dragon and Yata Garasu spring to mind) and for all of you people out there, Konami are not in control, they have made cards that were too powerful without knowing what they were doing.

Want some proof?
1. Returning Delinquent.
2. Banning Painful and Returning Graceful 3. Banning Change of Heart in addition to the 2 above.
4. NOT BANNING BLS!

See? Four perfectly good reasons. Delinquent is broken. Graceful is luck, Painful is skill. Change of Heart was the best flip effect negator. Now Magician of Faiths, Cyber and Morphing (w00t gotta love it) Jar are running rampant. Which brings me to my next point. After i rant how BLS should have been banned.

I tell you why? I love the Luster, really i do. But the problem is that he forces everyone to run him. If you dont run BLS you are put at an EXTREME disadvantage since the opponent can just remove 1 light and dark from play to basically win the game. He is that good. BLS is the core of unoriginal decks and if people banned him it means that there would be so many more original decks, rather than everyone running BLS to give them the best chance of winning. Sure, he can be dead weight or snatch steal bait (hey that rhymed) but 9/10 times when you summon him, you win the game. That's why he should be banned.

4. Buy the Damn Jar!

Buy Morphing Jar. I don't care how or why (but don't steal) but you need it.
May i say why?

It brings you back into the game. First turn you might set 4 m/t or something like that. Sure your opponent might know what you are up to, but you will most likely gain the advantage.
It completely owns control decks. Indeed, two of my decks, my hardcore Night Assailant control and Draw Engine (both sadly running BLS) love to use the Jar but when they are in full speed, Morphing Jar completely resets the board leaving you disadvantaged. Of course, most of the time i would be getting back the Night Assailants and Serpents but still.
It complements swarm decks like Warriors. Play 2 Marauding Captains (which you shouldnt, read below) and then when you have a Huge Army waiting to crush your opponent but just need to kill a few more things, flip the Morphing Jar, get a new hand and kill your opponent.

IT COMPLETELY KILLS THE GOD HAND! Sure Jaelove, your skills and decks make me scream "I'm not worthy" but consider Morphing Jar. Your opponent plays Delinquent twice, Pot and Graceful. Next turn you set Morphing Jar, they attack it and you grin at them at their loss of 2000 life points.

Get it? Morphing Jar is a Side Deck Staple at the very least. Ok not that much but i would use it in like any Side or if it suits it, Main Deck.

5. It's the Hand, not the Field.

Now i used to think otherwise. But in my extensive Warrior and Chaos playing, i have learnt that i usually have larger hands than my opponent.
One time, i was even (jokingly) accused of cheating, because i had 4 cards in my hand compared to his 1 and i had board control.

Now this topic leads to something else, that none other than the master, f00b, told me, indirectly through ranting about Reflect Bounder.

Life Points are nothing. Sure you die without them but the main thing is, if you try too hard to do Life Point damage, most of the time you will run out of cards in your hand, only for your opponent to hand your ass to you on a plate. This is why i dont like Marauding Captain. The problem is that if your opponent plays conservatively, naturally you want to kill them as quick as possible. However, if they keep on using good stall tactics (MoP, Reaper, Tomatos/Angels, Scapegoat) they can just stall until they draw into Lightning Vortex and other field clearers. They can just pick off your monsters 1 by 1 until your top decking, or close to it. Then, with their weenie little monsters, they will pick your Life Points off, because they have Card Advantage.

Some people fail to realize this. Aggro decks are good and are very tournament worthy, even Nationals and Worlds worthy. However, you have to know how to play it. Life Points are good to have, but honestly, Control is better. I would pay 5000 life points to discard 5 cards from my opponent's hand. Sure i would be on 3000 compared to 8000. BUT! I would then just pick the opponent off easily through great advantage.

This is why Control is so popular. It drains the opponent of recourses and gains your own. Eventually, your hand is so big, and theirs so little that they are just like mozzies. They annoy you but are easily killed.

6. Love the Game.

Ahh i always go on about spiritual crap. But anyway.

Yugioh is about having fun. It's also about winning and egyptian myths. But really, everyone who plays the game is always a friend and should be respected.

I told you a while back about people who laugh at my intelligence. True, that Morphing Jar and that D.D.Assailant were disastrously overpriced, but then again, thats why I am Pwning your ass.

Really, anyone who complains "Oh but you have better cards than me" or "You are just lucky" is just a sore loser. True, luck can be annoying, but seriously. You want to know my opponents (and Arch-Rival and Provider) godly luck?
First Game, Delinquent and Pot, then Magician'd them both.
Second Game, we both Delinquented, then he played Pot three times then played Creature Swap on Airknight, summoned Blade Knight and then brought out the damn-should-be-banned-but-still-use-him BLS.
Talk about pwned.

But, although i was a bit annoyed, i still got Second Place and i shook my opponents hand. Really if you can't shake somebody's hand, you dont deserve to play Yugioh and should have your cards ripped up. Politeness is something we need in the game. Honestly, if everyone was rude my Dad (the only one who is even slightly supportive of Yugioh in my family) wouldn't drive me or even let me play Yugioh. I like a good win or a good loss, while disappointing a loss is, if you lost to a friend or someone else and if it was a good game, its almost as good as a win.

And if ever you netdeck or just ask permission off someone to use their deck, PLEASE acknowledge them, and if you say it was your own build, I'm joining the Ace of Spades and finding myself a shovel. I will acknowledge f00b (or David Simon) right now, Thank you for letting me use your draw engine deck, may it help me win tournaments (man i can't believe that i have been at my local shop, Games Chain, for about 8 months and that i have only come second twice and first once, i keep on playing Karl, Alex, Rio, Daniel or Dominique in the first round.)

So Here's to the Fridge at the End of the Universe, I was your host, Azza Fridginators, and i was just at the Revenge of the Sith, where it was a real way hey hey of a movie, if you know what i mean. Sorry, i really cant help myself with the Hitchikers Guide. Star Wars was good though, my school went and saw it, probably the first 1000 people in Sydney.

So i hope you enjoyed this, please look forward to a title which I'm sure all of you know what it will be called. Damn, how do i fit the word Fridge into Mostly Harmless?

Btw, in Return of the Jedi, Leia says she knew her Mum and she died when she was young, but still about 8'ish years old, and that she seemed very sad.
However, in Revenge of the Sith she dies at the end, giving birth. George Lucas, i prove your movies of not making sense. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha.

Won't you play with my Ding a Ling........... I mean;

The Babel Fish has an odd effect, when you put it in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. Now this is so highly bizzare so many have seen it as the final clinching proof of the non existance of god. The argument goes like this:

"I refuse to proove I exist," Says God. "For proof denies faith and without faith i am nothing."
"But," Says Man. "The Babel Fish is a dead give away. It prooves you exist and therefore you dont. QED."
"Oh," Says God. "I hadn't thought of that," And promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh that was easy," Says Man and for an encore goes to prove that black is white and gets killed on the next zebra crossing.

I like the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy
