Subject: The continuing war against non-originality,
plus a new version of my classic deck, by Nagas= = h
Ok, I kind of pettered off after my last article
(i.e. I didn't finish it), but I'm back, and I'm s=
= addened to hear that Dark Maltos will not be
posting any more articles (sob) :-(. I really
enjoyed= reading his articles, but I do wonder, did
he ever plan on finishing his 7 duelling technique
art= icles or not (conspiricy theory time: Lost, X
Files etc!!!).
But I'm mostly hear to tell you all of a couple of
cards I feel are not only original, but effectiv= =
e, that should go in most decks:
He's a Light Type (oooh, it's Chaos goodness.
Personally, that's not a plus, but each to his/her
o= = wn), and a Machine. So who is it=3F Cyber
Dragon=3F Don't be silly, I'm about originality, so
it c= an't be him. No, it's a wonderful card I just
got from Enemy of Justice (yes, there are decent
car= ds in the new sets (!)). It's Victory Viper
XX03, the new version of Gradius!
It's a good card (although not good starting ATK,
he'll soon get some more). Two major reasons:
He can destroy face-up Spell and Trap cards. A very
useful ability. All it takes is a little mor= = e
ATK than he currently has.
Summon a Token. Now, for me, this is a major
benefit. Tribute needed=3F I've got an Option Token=
= . Ritual Fodder=3F Yep, now I can summon
Relinquished easily! There's so much it can do.
And it's a Level 4 monster, a easy to use type
(shame about Gravity Bind and Messenger of Peace, bu=
= t they're restricted, so hey!). The only major
problem is the lower starting attack, but that will=
change by his effect, and the next card.
Another card I feel should be in most decks is Rush
Recklessly. Yes, a really old card! It's chain= =
able, and can work like a suped-up Sakuretsu Armour
(with a u, as I said before, I'm British, and = I'll
spell words how I want to spell them). How=3F Well,
say Jinzo had just attacked your Archfien= d Soldier
(cause you're playing a Fiend deck, like my
friends). Well, Sakurestu Armour wouldn't ev= en
work, but if it could, nothing else would have
happened. Actually, a better example is Mobius: = it
gets summoned and destroys Sakuretsu, nothing you
can do about it. But Rush Recklessly, you can= chain
it, and boost your monsters ATK. Then Mobius
wouldn't attack. I know it only delays somethi= ng,
but otherwise you would have lost quite a bit. And
going back to the Jinzo example, you will a= lso
deal Life Damage (not a lot, but sometimes it's
enough (and I'm here to say that people who sa= y
Life Points aren't important are idiots: who cares
how many cards you hold in your hand (say a mil=
lion, all Smashing Ground (I know it's completely
illegal, but this is just an example)), if you have
no = = Life Points. You can't do anything, cause
you've lost. So woop-te-do to Card Advantage again!

Robbin' Goblin
Now, it's most definitely a funny deck (not only for
the fact it's got Toons in it) but it's very g= =
ood (in my humble opinion). There's a couple of odd
choices, like Fox Fire (well, I'm waiting for = one
card to come out over here: Marsh Mellon (or
whatever it's good), so much better than Spirit R=
eaper, and themed to!) and Ancient Gear Cannon (kind
of mini-Jinzo, that's all). But my side deck = is
all about certain types of deck, like Misfortune for
use against Stall Decks, and Ordeal of a T= raveller
for Draw Decks (they need monsters on the field, not
the hand). Plus Robbin' Goblin, Guar= dian Sphinx
and Toon Gemini Elf are lethal. Very nasty. The
Creator is a great card (I know it sho= uld be used
in it's own deck, but it's a good card, and since my
opponent uses a couple of Level 8= monsters, I can
get it out (plus it has a very helpful effect. I
once used it with Pot of Avarice= . My goodness,
pure lethality!)). Gravity Bind, Outstanding Dog
Marron, Nitro Unit and Monster Reincarnation are
better off in the side deck (less situational, but
still sometimes needed).
One last point is Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon shall soon
go for Toon Dark Magician Girl (but only when I = =
find her (damn she's hard to get!)).
Actually, soon I'll be going to tournies and seeing
how my deck does there (please be very good!).
So, I'll sign off today with one final thing: please
reply to me at nagash4king@yahoo.co.uk as I wo= =
uld like to know what you all think of my articles
so far (SD9-Dinosaur, and these to rants (or so= to
speak)). All I have left to say is good bicycle
(that's from Little Britain if it's not over i= n
America, as I've never seen it on US TV while I've
been over there (or in Canada), since all tog=
ether, I've been over to that side of the world for
about 10 or so weeks (not much, but it gives m= e a
small feel of the place). Hopefully I'll be going
over there to work to get some money at some= point
(and meet relatives (now I'm getting personal...stop
it!)).
