Since I live in Tokyo, Play Yugioh, and speak English, some people coming to worlds have said hi and such.
So, to shoot down your questions before you ask them: a Rauzes Q&A
Q: What are some card stores you would reccomend while Im in Tokyo?
A: Go to Akihabara, Go to Roppongi. Akihabara for the cards. Roppongi because of alcohol. Most of the other well priced shops in Tokyo are a bit far off...
Q: Where is a good place to go play?
A: Clicky here. Good open space for free.
Q: What are some places you would reccomend visiting on a tour of Tokyo?
A: Follow Konami on their tour. Then dissapear from the tour and go to Ginza, Akihabara, The Imperial Palace, Roppongi, Shibuya, and Omote-Sando. Bring money. In Any order.
Q: Hai Lets Meet up and play YGMonz.
A: No. Mainly beacuse I couldnt be bothered, just dont like you because youre you, have better things to do, probally busy that day, I just dont like you, not in Tokyo that day, or a combination of a few or all of the above.
Q: Can all of the reasons for not meeting with me be put off by anything?
A: Yes. Either come with Enough Dakka, or come dressed as a bananna, and I will consider it.
Q: You are an ass.
A: Thats not a question, but sure, if you want me to be one Ill play along.
Q: Whats a good place for food?
A: Depending on where you are. I would suggest you drop by Yoshinoya, due to it being cheap, fast, a chain store, and so its a good suggestion no matter where you are. Sushi is damn expensive and a POSSIBLY DANGEROUS choice in the heat of summer. However, Cooked fish or Eel makes a nice meal. Soba or Udon is great, but you can often find that outside of Japan. Ramen is a waste of a meal in your time in Tokyo for several reasons.
Q: I dont have much spending money. Where can I eat a meal for cheap?
A: Dont play Yugioh is my first answer. My Second answer is: Convenience Stores. A cartoned drink and a few rice balls could make a meal for as low as 300 yen. a Good meal would be around 500 yen-700 yen.
Other questions are welcome via Comment.

30000 Hits!!!
Greetings my readers.
皆の衆ごきげんよう
It seems that I missed the fact that I recently got 30000 hits!
SO. Commemorative post.
From 20000 hits to 30000 hits, it took this blog 31 days.
I managed to get 30000 hits in 198 days of existance.
0 to 10000 hits: 119 Days
10000 to 20000 hits: 49 Days
20000 to 30000 hits: 31 Days
Some stats:
25% of my readers are from Singapore, and 23% from the U.S. of A. The rest of the world makes up the rest of my readers.
The blog averages around 170 Unique readers daily, with an average of 1.4 page loads per person a day.
The day of the week that gives the blog the most hits is Sunday, with about 30% more than other days.
In celebration of this event, I WAS going to give out Three(3) packs of Limited Edition 15(Guardian Eatos, etc), BUT seeing as they havent arrived yet, as I got to 30000 hits MUCH faster than I expected, I wont be able to do so.
My back-up plan for this was, to be honest, Saviour Star Dragon playmats, BUT for SOVR, they did not print any playmats, so that plan has kinda gone down the drain.
SO, to commemorate this event, I will be asking from the readers.
You, as the readers, can select from one of three posts for me to write next/soon.
These options are:
1: Yugioh Blogs: Japan and the Rest of the World - A Comparison
2: Rauzes : A History.
3: Fantasy Earth Zero Introduction
The first option will be a rather long post comparing Japanese and English Yugioh Blogs, including their writing style, their focus, as well as links to several posts and blogs that exemplify how different locations in the world and their blog posts fall on the scale between Japan and Western Blogs.
The Second will be another rather long post about myself, and my history in Yugioh. While it may be interesting for some people, others might not be interested.
The third, as said, is about an MMORPG that I play, and think its rather interesting.
In addition to this, I will also be writing up a history of development, including inspirations, cards that were in the deck, etc, for ONE deck featured on this blog. (EG: Lets say you vote Junk and Debris. I will reveal the various concepts that didnt make it, what event caused me to think of the concept, what I was doing, etc).
Rules:
One person my vote once and once only.
Your vote may include one vote for the long post, one vote for a deck history post, Or one of either one.(IE: No vote for Long post, but yes for Deck History, or the other way around, or one vote for both.)
Your votes my be via Email, Blog Comment, Pojo/DGz PM, but NOT by MSN Messenger or other IM service.
READ CLOSELY: You CAN VOTE FOR ONE DECK AND A LONG POST
Thank you everyone for the constant support.
Please continue to support this blog in the future.
Thats all for today

Oh wait I guess I have to say something about yugioh today, so:
Against any Cat based builds, Maining 3X Prohibition for Airbellum works wonders.

All of You are Idiots #4!
Hello everyone
皆の衆ごきげんよう
Welcome to the fourth episode of ALL OF YOU ARE IDIOTS!
Also, the duel challenges are significantly tricky to an extent, so you all can feel good even if you do not get it.
Today, I will answer Duel challenge #4
Heres a quick reminder of the situation:
You:
Deck: Contains any card you want, but must follow Tournament Limitations/Forbidden cards.
Life: 8000
Field: None
Hand: Brain Control, Armageddon Knight
Graveyard and RFP contain nothing.
Enemy:
Life: 4200
Field: Messenger of Peace, Mystical Plasma Zone, Dark Strike Fighter, Powertool Dragon.
Graveyard, Hand and RFP contain Nothing.
It is the Standby Phase of your turn. Reduce the opponent to 0 Life this turn.
Note that this wasnt a particularly difficult problem, but rather a display of variability various cards have, as well as to give an idea of what some challenges should look like.
On the difficulty scale this would have been about a 3.5. If the deck had one copy of every dark monster and three copies of every equip spell, 3.
This is how its done:
Brain Control on Powertool Dragon. Use its effect to pick three Falling Down, then bring one to your hand
Summon Armageddon Knight. Send to the graveyard Gilfer Demon/Archfiend of Gilfer.
Use Gilfer's effect to equip to Armageddon Knight, reducing its ATK by 500.
Cast Falling Down on the enemy's Dark Strike Fighter.
Attack with Armageddon Knight.
In Main 2, use Dark Strike Fighters effect to shoot off Powertool Dragon, and itself, in that order(anything else wont give you game).
I hope you enjoyed this duel challenge.
That is all for today.

Floater Concept: J&D in: Da Red Wunz Go 'Aster
Floater Concept: Junk And Debris In: Da Red Wunz Go 'Aster.
Basically, a Junk and Debris build based off of the space variant, maxing out on as many draw cards as possibly imaginable.
Inclusive of:
3X Convert Contact
2X Allure of Darkness
2X Pot of Avarice
Running Aqua Dolphin for Moray of Greed spam
Gold Sarcophagus's
Possibly many more draw engines that could possibly be included.
Pretty much your going to drop the little things like Dandylion, Treeborn Frog, and Raigeki Breaks, Grand Mole, etc included for control, stalling, and overall making the deck run well, for draw cards, and LOTS of them.
Also red sleeves are compulsory to use this deck.
Ideas? Comments? "That wont possibly work/win consistently"?(Please remember your dropping everything that sets up your plays nicely as well as multiple targets for Debris Dragon, etc for DRAW DRAW AND DRAW SOME MORE).

Duel Challenge #4!
You:
Deck: Contains any card you want, but must follow Tournament Limitations/Forbidden cards.
Life: 8000
Field: None
Hand: Brain Control, Armageddon Knight
Graveyard and RFP contain nothing.
Enemy:
Life: 4200
Field: Messenger of Peace, Mystical Plasma Zone, Dark Strike Fighter, Powertool Dragon.
Graveyard, Hand and RFP contain Nothing.
It is the Standby Phase of your turn. Reduce the opponent to 0 Life this turn.
This challenge does NOT involve cards from SOVR, nor any TCG or OCG exclusives.
Might I point out that Mystical Plasma Zone in conjunction with Messenger of Peace does NOT allow your Armageddon Knight to attack.
Also: This is a duel challenge, and the situation would not normally occur, but since its a duel challenge, some rules are ignored to set up the situation.
For those without an imagination: Youtube!
