Plants and Zombies, a Striking similarity.

So, today we shall talk about how Plants and zombies are ridiculously similar to fight. theyre barely different.
They summon tons from the graveyard.
They syncro tons.
They work well with Burial from diff. Dimension(Mark of Rose and Mezuki).
Both are responible for breaking Card of Safe Return.
Both come out of the ground
both form infinite loops THANK YOU BRIONAC(sarcasm).

You get the picture.
Some Ideas:
If zombies go well with Lightsworn, what about plants? Plants need LIGHT to grow, in case you havent realized. Only, in this deck, the LIGHT is a giant 3000/2800 Dragon with feild nuking abilities.

In conclusion, combating Plants should be no problem if your playing a competetive deck. Its no threat if your fighting zombies anyhows.
Example 1:
Enemy special summons his 3rd lonfire and uses priority to summon gigaplant. Chain Demise of the land for necrovalley. You just won.
Example 2:
Enemy just special summoned his 2nd diabolic from deck. Demise of land for necrovalley. enemy goes WTFBBQ.

See? Simple.
More examples:
Enemy has gemini'd gigaplant on feild, and tons of plants in graveyard.
Use release of spirit and RFP all plants. Drop DAD and nuke feild, summon monarch and OTK.
Example 2:
Enemy has 3 Mezuki and 1 Malicious and 1 PSZ in grave. Use Release of spirit and remove from play all of them. Drop DAD and nuke feild, summon monarch and OTK.

Simple.

In conclusion,
Plants are a fomidible force. But fighting them should not be that differnt from fighting zombies.
Both come out of the ground, Both appear far too green for their own good, Both are non sentinent, both are mass slaughtered in several video games, Both are farmed for food, both desire to consume human brains, Both can play hockey.

CONCLUSION: Plants = Zombies.

Thank you and this concludes todays lecture.

Budget Fairy Control

Monsters
1 Winged Kuriboh Level NINE
2 Archangel Christia
1 Gorz, Messenger of Hades
1 Soul of Purity and Light
1 Cyber Dragon
3 Victoria
2 Dark Valkyria
3 Honest
1 Winged Kuriboh
1 Freya, Spirit of Victory
1 Mashmallon
1 Green Herald
1 Sangan
2 Kelbek

Spells
1 Monster Reborn
1 Heavy Storm
1 Giant Turnade
1 MST
1 Pot of Avarice

Traps
1 Pole Position
2 Mask of Restrict
3 Sakuretsu Armor
3 Compulasry evacuation device
3 Bottomless Trap hole
1 Mirror Force
1 Mind Crush
1 Dust Shoot
1 Torrential

Game plan:
Using your traps, drag out the game forever. The entire trap line up is to kill syncros. Kelbek, Honest, Victoria, Christia, and Green Herald are there for that too.(Note only 1 herald. not because only one works, but I only had one for the budget of this deck.)
"Comboes"
CED/Kelbek + Mind Crush/Dust Shoot
Hand Control
CED/Bottomless/Sakuretsu armor
Monster Control
Mask of Restict, Archangel Christia.
more monster control.
Yeah. I would put 2 Dust Tornadoes instead of Soul of Purity and Light and Pole Position, but Pole position is too good, and not everyone sets cards.

Exams come back.

Hi all. Today, my exam grades came back
Accelerated subjects:
English: 99
Alchemy: 104
Biology: 68
Physics: 100
Japanese: 69
Normal Subjects:
Economics: 67
Math: 102

All are in percents.
... Yeah
... A, A+, D+, A+, D+, D+, A+

Anyhows back on topic.

Today I thought of this great first turn.
Draw.
Gravekeepers Commandant. Search necrovalley
Buster Beast effect: Search buster mode
summon summon preist
throw pot of avarice
summon Mist Valley soldier
Syncro for stardust
Special summon dark simorgh.
Set buster mode, and set anti spell fragrance
activate necrovalley.
Enemys draw phase: Antispell fragrance and chain buster mode.
You pretty much won.
For those who still dont get it:
Stardust/Buster can negate everything. Necrovalley says you cannot RFP it from grave.
You cannot activate spells/traps without setting them. You CANNOT SET them.
You are stuck staring down a 3000 ATK beatstick and a 2700 beatstick with only 1 effect monster per turn, and no spells/traps.

Dandylion Fluff Tokens!

Since dandy is out in the TCG now, you will want to use some nice tokens. Here are 3!

Yes, #1 and #3 are the same picture. Just #3 has lots of effects on it.




You know, the Rose tokens would have been better for the spirit of chinese new year. Being red and all.
But yah. Happy lunar new year. I didnt get a day off of school.

Black Garden Rose Tokens:

Today, I went to tournament of 64, using my monarch, as usual.
Top 4'd. Owned by Angel Control(not counter).
for 3rd place:
Enemy goes first:
Hecatrice for Valhalla, drops Christia, summons and retreives Honest, and sets 3 cards.
I go second, stare a bit at my 6 tribute monsters, and end.
I get owned.
Second game:
Open with a Kuriboh+Krebons+Tounge Twister, and end with 5 cards in hand and a stardust on feild.
Enemy uses Lightning Vortex. I stop it. The enemy Valhallas Christia and beatdowns. Stardust is totally owned.
No special summon = dead Kuriboh Monarch.

I have made a few Rose Tokens for everyone. As usual, Print on good paper, using Microsoft Word/Similar program to resize them to 89.96 mm by 60.85mm.






To expect in the future:
Goat Tokens.
Sheep Tokens.

Which is your favorite/best art for this batch of tokens?
What other kind of tokens do you want to see in the future?

Elysium Playtesting.

Today, I actually playtested Elysium (Formerly named: The Fields of Elysium).

I met up with a three players Im kinda familiar with/respect as a player at Konami Card Game Center Tokyo, today. Played all sorts of decks.

Things I discovered:
Yamatano Dragon is ridiculously readable. Dropped it. Masoleum of the emperor dies with it.
Elysium doesnt get its "toolboxy" feel until late game.
Undead World and Necro valley KILL Plants.
Too little monsters.

Thus, at the place, I discussed a bit and made some new changes.
New decklist is as follows

エリュジオン ―　魔界の草原

Decklist!

Elysium - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysium
This deck is Field Spell Tactics, using Cyberdarks as the main attackers and win condition. Additionally, Dark Eruption retreives any Cyberdark for re-use. Terraforming and Demise of the land can grab any field spell you want from your deck to use, giving it a toolboxy feel. Beware, however, of Zombie World and Necrovalley, as these are mainly to stop the enemy, and you need to cast a new field spell to be able to fight back.

The Main Idea with this deck was to make it so One Dark Eruption and One Terraforming could solve tons of problems.
Example 1: Enemy has 3 DADs on his field, SOMEHOW.
You: Dark Eruption for Black Bomber, summon, retreive Cyberdark part, syncro summon for black rose, nuke field. Problem solved.
Example 2: Enemy has a JD in play.
You: Dark eruption for cyberdark Keel, equip hunter dragon, Terraforming for Dark Zone. Trade with the JD, dealing 300 damage to the enemy.
Example 3: Enemy has a Delta Crow - Anti Reverse in hand, 1 Armored Wing, 1 Sirroco of Dawn, and 2 Blast of Black Spear on field.
You: Dark Eruption for Black bomber and nuke field.

Since this deck is focused on DARK and FIELDS, "The Fields of Elysium" is a fitting name

Other comboes include: Masoleum of the Emperor + Yamatano Dragon = Reusable draw 5. Set Bottomless for whatever they pay life to summon.
Black Garden + Cyberdarks.
Cyberdarks LOSE 400 ATK and GAIN 1700 when theyre summoned. 2100, with Garden, can take down ANYTHING.
Black Garden + Black Feather - Gale of the Hurricane(flip summoned or summoned before black Garden). VERY painful. VERY.
Dark City + Diamond Guy.
Not really a "combo" here, but yah.
Dark Zone + Bottomless Trap Hole
Can YOU bottomless an armageddon Knight? I can.
Dark Zone + Black Garden
Token is DARK. Free 1300 Beatsticks.

HAPPY NETDECKING!

Note to TCG Players: If you want to make this deck, replace CCV, and Mirror Force with something else. It cuts costs A LOT.
