Topic: Who of you plays Yu-gi-oh? Doesn´t matter if play it in Real Life or on a medium

[Satoryu]

I seriously have bad luck with booster packs. D:

or the scalers got to the good packs first and left you with the crap at the bottom of the barrel.

in other words, You're Too Slow.

Anyone else notice the arrow?

On the topic of booster pack luck, my first Booster pack, if I remember correctly, had Exodia's head in it.

[Gaia]

That image makes me think if Sub Tank drew that, or his Japanese counterpart, and the Arrow's part of the design~

Eh, booster packs just vary from time-to-time, but since the games have cards in them, more than likely is anyone's guess that they usually have the better cards in them (as well as the tins), like the Magnet Trio. I remember getting a rare card, I forgot which, and threw it onto my book.

[Protoman Blues]

Easily, without question, the best card I got in a pack was my Mirror Force.  This was back when I *shudder* worked at Hollywood Video.  I was on lunch, just happened to stop into the Bodega to get a drink, and decided to buy a pack of Cards.  LoL, I'll never forget when I read what the card can do.  I couldn't wait to show it off...IN A DUEL!

[Solar]

I ALWAYS wanted a Mirror Force, I kept buying booster packs, but it never appeared. The only actually rare cards (no, not the "rare" cards that come in every pack) that I ever obtain all come from the pre-made decks

My brother always had better luck with the cards, he got a [tornado fang]ing Blue Eyes Toon Dragon in his FIRST BOOSTER PACK EVER for crying out loud!

[Protoman Blues]

Well, back in the day, Chi-Town use to be a great place for trading/trading in/buying cards.  Back when I use to buy a Box, and boy does it hurt to think of how much money I spent on the damn game, I remember when I got Yata.  As soon as I did, I brought it to Chi-Town, traded it in for like $100-$150, and got some really really nice cards for it.  I was never going to use that cheap-ass combo, so Yata served me well by getting me some really nice cards.

[Solar]

I was about 10 or so back then, no way I could've ever afforded doing that kind of stuff though

Which reminds me, I never saw again my deck with all of my good cards or my folder with about 100 of them [tornado fang]ing thieves.

[Protoman Blues]

Honestly, it's better that you didn't spend the money.  I mean, I love YuGiOh and I don't regret playing it at all.  But [tornado fang], that was a nice chunk of change.  And it's not like was a regular tournament junkie, where I could at least try and get something back for my investment.  I just played for fun. 

Well, it also didn't help matters that CCG Tournaments players are, in my opinion, the stinkiest gamers that exist.  I mean, there came a point where I couldn't be in Neutral Ground for more than a minute, the smell was so awful.

[Rad Lionheart]

One of few Ultra Rares I obtained and have long since traded as far as I can remember, is Dark Mirror Force. D:
I should go grab my cards and look through 'em.

My first and only Super Rare via booster pack was Limiter Removal. God I love that card. I got two more since then.

SOAP, [sonic slicer], THEY SHOULD USE IT!

Usually stinks like week old roadkill in those rooms.

Abso-[tornado fang]ing-lutely.  Take showers.  Bathe!  Wash.  PLEASE!

Posted on: February 19, 2009, 11:44:12 AMMaybe if we give these stinky nerds soap that looks like gaming controllers, they'll actually wash themselves!

[Flame]

I want one of those. I really do.

also, I once got a thousand eyes restrict from the "single card" plastics that vending machines have. but it was japanese. plus, the series was still in its like, first episodes, so i didnt quite know what it eas. so i sadly gave it away because it had no attack or defense.
I still kick myself to this day for that.

[Jericho]

I had pretty much the same kind of luck with my first ever booster pack. Mirror Force was so damn good. Then it got stolen. D:

[Satoryu]

also, I once got a thousand eyes restrict from the "single card" plastics that vending machines have. but it was japanese.

which reminds me. it's ridiculous that western tournaments don't allow Japanese cards, but eastern tournaments have no language restrictions.

[Flame]

because most eastern schools teach English, while most Western schools don't teach Japanese.

[Satoryu]

i hope that's not the TCG's argument. you still know what the card is based on the picture.

[Flame]

but not what it does.

[Rad Lionheart]

Your opponent would also have to know what it does.
And if they don't recognize it and don't know it's effect, you could wing it.

[Satoryu]

yeah, like every Japanese can read everything on English cards.

[Flame]

no, but the ratio is much higher than american people who can read japanese cards.
plus the point still stands that most japanese schools teach english. so not everybody can read the cards, but most can. besides, american tornaments are usually comprised of nerds with attitude issues. japanese tournaments... well... are full of big talking leather wearing card flinging bishonens.
like, yknow, yugioh.

[Protoman Blues]

I had pretty much the same kind of luck with my first ever booster pack. Mirror Force was so damn good. Then it got stolen. D:

Someone jacked your Mirror Force?  That's just wrong.

...Although it's just so useful.  But still, WRONG!

Either way, maybe tonight or tomorrow, I'll go through what decks I have right now and post what cards are in them.  I'd like to here other opinions on it and such.

[Rad Lionheart]

I will do the same tomorrow! (If someone can remind me on the IRC channel or something) to go through my cards, and see if my desk is constructed, and then write 'em all down and list 'em up and all. :0 So you guys can see why my win/lose ratio is so one sided.

[STM]

I would think the whole using Japanese cards thing is done since we're a few sets behind Japan. At the same time, they want to make absolutely sure someone doesn't bullshit to the other person what the card does due to lack of knowledge of Japanese.

Yeah, I know there's still the picture but Upper Deck, who I think handles the game now, is anal enough to just ignore that.

This is one of my better decks, IMO.  This deck first started out as a basic Spellcaster/Warrior deck, but thus evolved into this.  What I love about this deck is the many combinations it has, not to mention the great search ability of it.  King of the Swamp searches for Polymerization, if I need it.  Emblem of Dragon Destroyer gets me a Buster Blader from the Deck or Graveyard, allowing me to pretty much discard him if I need too.  Reinforcements of the Army can be used to get me Gobby, if I need brute force, Marauding Captain, if I need to use the MC Wall Stall, Zombrya if I need another stall or if I want to fuse him to get Last Warrior, or good ol' Exiled Force to get rid of something before pulling out a Fusion.

Also, if you notice, this deck is very Magic heavy, and really has no Traps except for Mirror Force, which really goes in every deck, and the Seven Tools/Dust Tornado's which are meant to stop or destroy trap cards.  The Magic Cards are pretty much either Search Cards, Fusion stuff, or Magic/Trap destroyers.  Otherwise though, this deck moves pretty fast.  I can't tell you how many times I've gotten Dark Paladin out on the first turn.

This deck's main weakness is Creature Effect cards, or a deck that specializes in stopping magic, like a Silent Swordman deck.  Otherwise though, I'm very happy with this deck.  Granted, sometimes the Crohn's Of The Cards likes to give me NOTHING but my LVL 7 Monsters all at once, as well as an Emblem of Dragon Destroyer just to [tornado fang] with me, but overall this is definitely one of my favorite decks to duel with.  Oh, how this deck, and I, miss Sinister Serpent though! 

Questions or Comments would be fun!

this i can understand. but in that case, why not just ban cards that haven't been released in English yet?

and if the person you're playing against doesn't know what a card does, what's wrong with a duel moderator verifying what the card can do? if anyone should know what every card does, it's them.

and i know some duelists can be dicks, but i don't think those on the professional level would lie about a card's effect.
