Today's Tech - Effect Veiler

Hi guys,

today I am going to be discussing where the format is going and what to expect.

Prior to YCS Toronto Effect Veiler reached 3 per deck, with current trends and the appending doom of Dark Worlds Effect Veiler is going to decrease in play since it doesn't do anything to them and they are going to be using cards like Dragged Down to the Grave and Mind Crush to clear your hand.

However in the Fairy match up Veiler is helpful just not as much as you think. It stops Earth which is good but since it will still go to the grave for Hyperion and it is a LVL 2 Tuner what is veiler really doing being a neg 1.

In plants Veiler does nothing, it is useless.

Against Monarchs it stops my play for 1 turn, I still have a 2400 beat stick.

T.G. it does nothing.

In my Frog Monarchs, I played triple Veiler because and solely because I couldn'y afford getting Trishula played on me since I would lose my Frog, and a card from my hand.

I more often then not used veiler as a LVL 1 tuner.

I need more versitile cards that can do more aggressive things, I may go as far to say I don't need Veiler anymore.

Again I was scared of Trish and only Agents and Fabled can first turn Trish me.

On that same note, I don't see Max C being very broken either I keep playing it wrong or people are just not stupid. But it doesn't work the way you want it to, I need to find and discover better "Hand Traps".

Leave your suggestions below, thanks.

Bin**** Blun*** This Friday

Hey Guys,

So if you haven't heard I achieved my goal of getting top 32 at YCS Toronto.

So lucky and it was more or less a good weekend.

I played Frogmonarchs, and the deck wasn't perfect it can be much stronger.

Watch my Friday video for all the information.

Deck list and all.

On our Underworld6667 channel, we will be displaying a very important idea that hopefully many of you would be interested in doing. So don't forget to watch.

Also, sometime this week I will be posting a new video series displaying underated decks in a challenge format. Stay tuned to find out.

Thanks guys, and seriously I am going to make Frognarchs Tier 1!

I just need your help.

Peace,

DrakoDMD.

Today's Tech - Wiseman's Chalice

Hey Guys,
This card gained a lot of hype coming the release of XYZ's, however once they got here this card fell of the radar.

This is a normal spell card that when played special summons one monster from your opponents graveyard, you are unable to sync with the monster. At the end of the turn the monster is shifted to your opponents side of the field.

What makes this card useful is the fact that you can still attack with the monster, and when you are doing attacking you can overlay it with another monster and make a great XYZ.

It also has lots of other applications but this is prolly the most effective way, remember that when you attack with the monster and kill a monster this makes it a floater so when you make an XYZ it isn't wasting resources.

Good luck guys,

I will post again on Tuesday.

Peace.

Deck Profile - Nordics

Hey Guys,

I know I haven't made a blog post in a while, but school is starting soon and ironically I should have more time to post blogs of my thoughts and such.

I am more or less happy with the format, I am not happy with the TCG ruling on XYZ's obviously.

But who cares,

So I have been meaning to build a Nordic Deck for my girlfriend, she just loves Thor and she doesn't play that often so its litterally a hobby.

So this deck list is 38 cards I would love to hear some advice to make it complete or better thanks.

Monsters (19)
3 Vanadis of the Nordic Ascendant
3 Guldfaxe of the Nordic Beasts
3 Tanngnjostr of the Nordic Beasts
3 Tanngrisnir of the Nordic Beasts
3 Reborn Tengu
3 Effect Veiler
1 Valkyrie of the Nordic Ascendant

Spells (11)
3 Forbidden Lance
3 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Heavy Storm
1 Monster Reborn
1 Dark Hole
1 Book of Moon
1 Pot of Duality

Traps (8)
3 Gleipnir, the Fetters of Fenrir
3 Horn of the Phantom Beast
2 Call of the Haunted

So this deck is simplistic in design focusing on key cards and strategies.

It can make a 2nd turn Norse God quite easily.

Alot of the cards are chainable and play many roles, it seems good I am still missing 2 cards any advice would be great.

Thank you.

Update - Videos

Hey guys,

It has been a while I know sorry but Yugioh is so boring right now.

YCS Indy just finished and some "Synchro" deck won.

They had less then 512 players, since they didn't announce how many and based on the Nine Rounds and cut to top 16 we can assume they had a crap turnout.

Wonder why????

Anyways this Friday I will post a Fortune Lady deck, hope it meets everyones expectations.

I will also begin to make 1 pokemon TCG video per week, the first few will be introductory and hopefully used to convert some of you to the Pokemon TCG.

Since right now it is very entertaining, and brings some excitement that Yugioh currently isn't.

Well I think we are all just waiting for the Ban List, only going to be like 9 days till we see the OCG version which won't be to different.

Hope they listen and fix the game.

Peace.

Deck Profile - Dragunity Final Edit

Hey Guys,

So I know I talk about Dragunity often but I am currently running very hot with this build. I got part of the concept from the OCG, the only differnce is that I took out alot of the OTK stuff and made it a little more tame.

Monsters (13)

3 Dragunity Dux
3 Dragunity Legionnaire
3 Dragunity Phalanx
2 Dragunity Aklys
1 Blackwing - Zephyros The Elite
1 Effect Veiler

Spells (19)

3 Dragon Ravine
3 Cards of Consonance
3 Forbidden Lance
3 Terraforming
2 Pot of Duality
2 Pot of Avarice
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Dark Hole
1 Giant Trunade

Traps (8)

3 Royal Decree
2 Solemn Warning
1 Solemn Judgment
1 Dimensional Prison
1 Bottomless Trap Hole

Extra Deck (15)

1 Ally of Justice Catastor
1 Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
2 Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg
3 Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana
1 Scrap Dragon
1 Thought Ruler Archfiend
1 Colossal Fighter
3 Stardust Dragon
1 Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
1 Trident Dragion

So I hope you guys find this build interesting, it works really well because it has very powerful first turn plays as well as being about to come back going second.

I know if runs alot of traps dispite playing 3 Royal Decree's but the plan is to set up and disrupt your opponent then set up Decree to block the opponent from disrupting your plays.

I am using 3 Forbidden Lances to protect my monsters while Decree is up, and it also can be used to protect my monsters when summoning them.

The MVP of the Deck is Gae Dearg and Zephros they are so amazing, since I can make Gae Dearg and he can search for any card from my deck except Effect Vieler. Which a first turn dump Zephros into grave is game changing and winning.

Plus for side decking purposes I can use Gae Dearg to add D.D. Crow to my hand.

Hope you think this is good, also note that I do not have Monster Reborn cause it doesn't help this deck and
If you guys have any other advice I would like to hear,

Thanks.

DrakoDMD.

Update - I'm Back and Busy

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the lack of posts, been very busy registering for school and thinking of cool things to tell you guys about.

I poured a lot of money into a duel terminal and pulled nothing, : (

I do have a great concept for Friday's Stay On Track involving Relinquished.

I am still running Dragunity's and my most current build is somewhat different then what we have been discussing, I will post the main and extra deck on Friday.

Thanks for sticking around and you guys are awesome.
