    Champion Pack 1: Rant thread

    with only 3 cards per pack, its not like your odds for aquiring all the playsets are going to increase that dramatically. Its just a renamed Tournament Pack. I kind of like the idea of a Silver Rare Solemn Judgment. (collector's purposes). And the holos are purely collector items. There's...

    Farewell Everyone

    Ouch! That is painful to hear, Sr. Slither. I always felt a fondness for you, seeing as you were the only other person I ever found dueling out of Central America. Perhaps you could keep popping in now and then just to let us know how you are doing. I wish you well, in the meantime. And...

    Explain your Name/Avatar/Signature

    bald? ..uh oh.... Heck, I have relatives on every continent. Im half-Colombian, my wife is pure, Dublin-raised Irish, and I have aunts, uncles, and cousins in France, Uganda, China, Canada, Panama, Ireland, England, Italy, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and the US. (we breed like rabbits...

    Skill Drain and Slate Warrior

    Yes, but if you notice, the chart points out that the effect of raising the stats occurs here. Im not disputing that part. The effect that raises Slate Warrior's ATK from 1900 to 2400 is a Flip Effect, does resolve on the field, and is negated. But the 2nd effect of reducing the ATK of the...

    Strike of Neos Translation complete

    Im going off of a hunch here, but the 2nd sentence there makes me believe that it acts very similarly to Kuriboh or other spell speed 2, multi-trigger effect. That's why I thought it could be chained to the activation of an effect like Treeborn Frog. Oh, and yes, Ancient Rule is sweet...

    Explain your Name/Avatar/Signature

    LOL! that's the exact same logic I apply whenever I start thinking about a tatoo. I keep designing them and then change my mind. Course, for me, its the avie that keeps changing.

    Skill Drain and Slate Warrior

    oof! I hope I havent been out of circulation that long. Am I mistaken in my previous post? From what I remember, Skill Drain would prevent only the flip effect of Slate Warrior gaining 500 ATK/DEF, because it would activate and resolve on the field, where Skill Drain holds sway. The...

    Skill Drain and Slate Warrior

    No. The lingering effect of the ATK/DEF reduction is separate from the card that generated it (Slate) and is only referencing the monster it is attached to (Cyber Dragon). It does not hold a continuous connection to Slate Warrior after Slate has been sent to the Graveyard, whether Slate is...

    Strike of Neos Translation complete

    Im kind of liking the D.D. Crow. I could chain to the activation of effects from Premature to Treeborn to Goldd and remove their monster. This is a pretty good option for me, who loves the rfp effects. Not to mention, it doesnt specify discarding to the Graveyard, so even if I have a...

    Explain your Name/Avatar/Signature

    sQuid? Umm, it started off as my tag moniker back in the day when I didn't know any better. I still use it on canvas and paper, but the squid, like the octopus, has many tentacles. I have many interests and each tentacle I grow is another facet of who I am and what I like. I capitalize...

    Ectoplasmer Control

    See I like the Beast angle a lot. I was thinking though of Indomitable Fighter Lei-Lei and Spiritual Earth Arts-Kurogane. Still, it could work well with the Manticore of Darkness and the Rock Spirit. Im not sure if Gigantes would be too risky, because of its backlash effect or not.

    I dont visit that board except once or twice a year. let me know what the response is, coming from pojo. It is, after all, one of the largest online gaming sites for ygo.

    Ectoplasmer Control

    Now, Im not necessarily trying to promote a Fiend deck here, but simple fact is that 3 Goblin Elite Attack Force here would seem to fit right into this mold you are developing. However, perhaps you could cut #6 from your list of goals right now? It seems a tad bit counter-intuitive to the...

    Wait, you gotta be kidding me on the ruling of Black Horn of Heaven

    If Im interpreting it correctly, its because effects like Premature Burial are outside effects that Special Summon the monster during resolution. Horn of Heaven (and Black Horn of Heaven) would need to respond to the activation of an effect that directly special summons. Im curious if this...

    Retiring

    It is a bit slow. Only Jathro and Krazykidpsx seem to have a real memory for all the different cards. Without the ease of auto-linking for MTG, Im still struggling to look up all the cards that people post. (like your deck, :P)

    Macro Madness :)

    No worries. It was just an idea. Ive just never been a big fan of the Apprentice Magicians. However, I have to admit that I do understand what purpose they serve for you here. If I think of more, Ill pop in and add more cents to the piggy bank. :)

    Importance of the Game Mat?

    to me, the polypropolyene mats are nice because of the protection they help provide against sticky tables, dirt, ect. A paper one is inefficient for that. But I agree that this set will cause potential headaches. Dealing with zone shifting is a he said/she said kind of thing. Its one...

    The flipping part isn't that hard. Its the landing on your feet part where I make the mistakes. :D:D
