Greetings, fellow players of cards, I am your lord and saviour (for writing that is). That is right TIS I FUNCHY, all self praise aside let me talk about todays end of year event. Let me preface the report by saying good on ya chad for player of the year and DCM for father of the year you both deserve it clearly. I'd also love to throw a big thank you to kev for organising the event and making sure everyone had a good time and not only that he made sure everyone got their moneys worth so thank you to kev. Next I'd like to shoot a huge thank you to everyone who came all 63 of you that's right if you didn't hear there were 63 of us all playing yugioh that's like 63 1's that's insane! Next I'd like to turn the attention back to our player of the year for his generosity I mean come on he buys me packs just because I take a little time to write up my thoughts on things I mean that's just too too whats the word BLOODY LEGENDARY that's what we shall leave it at. Keeping the focus on our player of the year lets go to match 1
Match 1 opponent chad deck hazy flames
game 1 was really grindy and after some witty back and forth banter my ghosts were simply too scary for his poor fire monsters of despair and he lost the first game. Game two I opened ok and he opened bad I played him until he had 600 lp and nothing he top decked rekindling and got back his one target in grave which I promply compulsed, a few tears were shed and some jokes were made about his ability to stand after how hard I beat him great game chad your awesome.
1-0-0
Match 2 opponent sorry forgot it was a long day deck darkworld
what can I say my poor ghost simply couldn't match up to his constant grapha and he beat me harder than chris brown! im sorry I didn't want to make that joke it just kinda happened I beg forgiveness
1-0-1
Match 3 opponent Bailey deck dragons with the banishing and stuff
I knew this kid from back when I was in primary school he was in the year younger than me so we had a chat and we got down to the duel. I opened the nuts both games and he didn't draw any of his stuff so it was relatively smooth sailings.
2-0-1
Match 4 (before this match I already knew I would lose I always win two lose the rest so yeah) Opponent Declan deck bb's, He romped me I took out 2 lead yokes first game but he finally got me. Game two I opened well and he wasn't abe to get out lead yokes because I was using ghost trick effs then popping with alucard etc etc, but he top decked god and got over my field for game.
2-0-2
So that was the final round then we all had pizza and checked out each others cards etc, my last notable mention goes to troy who wore a full getup good on ya buddy! Any way happy holidays/merry Christmas however you want to take it so I don't offend you and enjoy yourself see you all next year as we show off our Christmas yugioh goodies haha HAVE A NICE DAY!

Happy Holidays from all of the universes!
Well Christmas is almost upon us and we are all running around like a chook with its head cut off... imagine that, 100's of children... O.k I will stop :P
So it has been an age since I last posted anything on here and as a result I feel a little left out. However, I have made amends with myself (and my computer), to make one hell of a Christmas/holidays post.
To begin, I HATE organising cards. Any of you that have boxes and boxes and folders and folders of cards would know my pain. When the all get mixed up or you get a new folder or storage unit, it takes hours to rearrange them all.
I have just done a spring clean of all my Cardfight! Vanguard cards and finally have them in order. However, I have so many left over cards (Mostly commons that I have no use for) that I am in need of suggestions of how to use/dispose of them. I have been thinking about making a wall mural of all the cards so i have them all out in the open to admire the amazing artwork... we will see. Leave a comment below for your suggestions (If you so like).
So after a long and difficult think, i will be looking to offload/sell/trade off most of my magic cards to a worthy home. I will be of course keeping all my EDH (commander) decks and cards that will help with them. However i have a large quantity of cards that will be looking for mew homes. Of course I will be running this through Kev and looking at the best way he can benifit from this as well.
Now for my Christmas list of things i want:
Peace on Earth
Black Lotus
More Cardfight! Vanguard cards (for my decks/collection)
Anime and Manga
And other things that I can not list on here
We from the Vanguard universe and every other universe we all have access to, would like to wish everyone a happy, safe and fun filled holidays and Christmas. May you all get what you wantand a few what you deserve.
As always
Ride the Vanguard!

There is No I in Team, but nightmares there can be...
If only we knew the end was here. The harbinger of the end times...
I heard the stories as a child, and thinking that "I'm a bad-ass", I failed to heed the Warnings.
But last Saturday, I watched in horror as it's tendrils wrapped around the valiant Battlin' Boxers under Troy's command. It then turned it's single eye on my own Hazy Flames. Within moments 2 more rose from the Shadows, ensnaring the noble Hazy Flame Basiltrice within it's grasp.
I heard the noble beast's screech out in pain, the sound growing softer as it was choked by the Harbinger's tendrils. At that moment, Troy turned to me and gave me the nod, and I did something I haven't done since troy and I were in high-school : I ran from that duel as fast as my wheels could carry both Troy and I.
Even to this day, when I close my eyes, I see it's eye staring back at me, and hear it's tendrils coming ever closer.
Greetings Cardhousians.
I e-mailed Kev on Monday as to whether I can say "Merry Christmas", or whether I have to go with "Happy Holidays." After not hearing anything, I'll just keep out of that storm and post this entry anyway.
First-off, Congrats toMatt Max (blooming auto-correct!) on his Vice-Captaincy. "With great power comes greater responsibility."
Anyhow, back to the blog, as you could gather from my PTSD recount;
1. The last yearly Team Tournament has just been and gone.
2. Yours' Truly was paired up with our Resident Pokemon Professor, Professor Troy Crossingham.
3. I think that Pumprincess is the Harbinger of the end times.
4. I used "End Times" to denote the Last Team Tourney.
5. In my previous post, I was off by a week, as I said 'see you at break-up'.
You are probably asking: "Pumprincess? Why are you traumatized by Pumprincess?"
Yes I am, there was nothing that I could do, and There was nothing the Professor could do, to stop 3 of them.
It was not just because it crippled us that I am advocating that it should be banned from team tournaments, but because similar cards have been banned from team tournaments before.
Let me show you a similar card that has been banned from Team Tournaments:
Yes, if you didn't know better, you'd think that I was invoking Yu-gi-oh's "Godwin's Law"...
I promise that this has a point. Let's compare them both.
Final Countdown was banned because the effect 'ticks' in each player's Stand-by Phase. Final Countdown adds +1 to it's Turn Count (With a Check at the next player's Standby Phase. If Turn Count >20 then the player is the winner.) So in 5 turn cycles (when every player has a turn), you win the game with this card.
Compare it to Pumprincess, who's effect places a "Pumpkin Counter" on itself during each player's standby phase. While on the field in the spell/trap zones, your opponent's monsters lose 100 attack per Counter.
If you only play one, your opponent's monsters lose 400 ATK and DEF per cycle. It only takes 5 turns to -2000 ATK and DEF, crippling your opponent and essentially winning you the game.
Now imagine or even 3 on the field is enough to cripple even the most effective deck, with -1200 ATK and DEF each cycle.

| EFFECT: "Pay 2000 Life Points. After 20 turns have passed (counting the turn you activate this card as the 1st turn), you win the Duel." |

| EFFECT: "If this face-up card is destroyed while in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card, instead of sending it to the Graveyard. While this card is treated as a Continuous Spell Card by this effect, during each player's Standby Phase: Place 1 Pumpkin Counter on this card. All monsters your opponent controls lose 100 ATK and DEF for each Pumpkin Counter on this card." |

Alright Guys, I just wanted to state my case. If you agree or disagree with my points, please let Kev know! Also let him know if you want to unban the other cards that 'tick' in every Standby Phase, or whether you want/do not want to ban Pumprincess from Doubles
It's your Gaming, the Team Dueling we use is a unique format to the Card-House, so as Cardhousians, the group-say goes.
So on that note, I just want to say thanks to Troy for pulling my ass working as my partner for the doubles, I am an absolute pain to play with at the best of times, and that man deserves a god-damned medal.
'Til I see you at Breakup,
THE CHAD (second of two, whom are "So Hot We're a Fire Hazard."

Max always goes the same record
Allow me to do a tiny bit of rambling before I actually talk about todays under 18's, first on my list is why I missed the team event, and I missed it because I was at rainbow beach visiting my grandfather who I only see once a year so I was doing that for three days, which was, coincidently during this time. Second off on a completely unrelated note but I feel I must brag, I am Caloundra high school's junior vice captain so that is right people I am loved at school and I have power too! Third I would like to thank chad so much for buying me the two boosters I have to say chad you made my day nothing like walking into a tourney and kev handing you two free boosters from the chad (sorry forgot your name till now haha) anyway thanks man I really appreciate it and propose an internet toast to the prosperity of this site between the writings of The Chad, Funchy, and Troy (don't know what to call you sorry for now I shall name you troy-diggity-dogger. GOOD ENOUGH! Fourth I would like to call out to everyone to come write here I mean guys I got two free packs! I tell you what if we get 5 writers here consistently I will treat all the 5 writers to a pack got it? You don't have to be a yugi or poke or magic or cardfight player, you can be anything as long as you write of your card game adventures here I shall give every writer a pack on the house, I want to see more people's thoughts on things! Now lets get on to the show!
GUYS GUESS WHAT!?!?!!? I WOKE UP TOO EARLY ISNT THAT A SUPRISE! So yeah that happened again and this time I sat on my phone big surprise again, anyway did the usual then headed off to the cardie, bought a shadow special ed, pulled stardust and some other super, and from chads packs of destiny I pulled...................... nothing but thanks anyway still fun to hear that plastic tear and reveal the random assortment of cards inside.
Anyway moving on went into round one I was against grave keeper malefic something or other and he beat me down for the win. But here is where I did my good deed for the day there was a kid playing battling boxers and he didn't have a single lead yoke I felt so bad for him I told him I had one in my binder and he said he wanted to do a trade and he handed me a stack of cards they were all not in the best condition and there was nothing I liked so I just cut the kid a break and gave it to him he was pretty happy.
0-0-1
Next I played against some deck that focussed on getting spellcounters and using them to get eff's etc etc, basically I didn't see anything his deck did because he drew bad and I just ran over him winning twice! However it was his first time here and I'm sure nervousness was a thing for him.
1-0-1
Now I played against what I think is the card houses most popular deck and that is the infamous battling boxers and this guy was pretty cool we were chatting and duelling and he didn't know what to side against my mix and matches haha but long story short he destroyed me!
1-0-2
Next I played against an atlantian type deck that focussed on getting out this one card that was like a 3000 beater with his field spell long story short he got it out VERY consistently and beat me quite easily although he was a cool dude and we had a chat after ward.
1-0-3
Next I played against the poor battling boxer kid from before and I smashed his incomplete deck.
2-0-3
WHY DO I ALWAYS GO 2-0-3 I SWEAR! Anyway it was a really fun day and I ended up walking away with another booster and didn't pull a holo but it was still fun for a 5 dollar entry! I hope to see you all on Saturday (including you chad I need to thank you in person you bloody legend) anyway guys thanks and remember my offer and have a nice day! PS sorry for lack of detail I was really tired!

December Prize Draw
Greetings Cardhousians;
For this post, The Chad shall refer to The Chad in 3rd person. How long will it take for The Chad to annoy you by The Chad referring to The Chad as The Chad in 3rd person?
Only one way for The Chad to find out. >:-)
Firstly, The Chad wants to thank Troy, and Max for posting on the blog. Couldn't keep this blog traffic moving faster then The Chad's D.V.T clot without their contributions.
The Chad promised prizes on the third day of the month... While 8 days late, The Chad couldn't pre-pay our Overlord Kev, King of Cardhousia, for prizes while he was on well-earned holiday.
TL:DR The Chad will announce the draw now, but the winner will have to wait 'til Saturday to claim his prize.
So keeping my word, the draw has been done. but first, look at the infographic The Chad made below below...
The Chad knows you scrolled right past The Chad's infographic. The Chad is hurt that you wouldn't look, especially after the 1/2 hour The Chad spent making it.
Now you looked, or pretended to look, The Chad is Happy to announce the winner now.
The Chad wishes to remind Adam that Saturday is the earliest day to pick them up. The Chad have yet to pay off "The King" after all...
The Chad looks forward to seeing all of you on Yu-gi-oh break-up Saturday.
