New Ban-list =/= PITA

Before I get into my Weekly Rant, I want to first congratulate our Pokemon Professor, Troy Crossingham, on getting a Job! It turns out that he blew the Thesis grant money on women Card-Games, so now needs money to cover it up... Unless his thesis was "Pokemon Trading Cards are a fine way to blow a Thesis grant". If so, Mission Accomplished Troy!

Joking aside, I'm sure you will all congratulate him on doing something most of us can't do: Get a Job. Drinks on me!

The new Ban-list is coming, like a Pizza Delivery, which means I need to check the Banlist.

Give me one Sec...

Oh Shi-

Okay, I shouldn't be surprised, Troy did warn me, but I was too ... tired, lets go with that, to heed it.

I'm wondering who's Dumb Idea was it to limit Rekindling? Semi-Limit I can understand, It's a good card and all, but the timing of the list leaves a month wait for Hazy Flame Hydra... with only 1 rekindling. What The Hell Konami!?

Here's a basic summary of the Changes.

MORPHING JAR, MORPHING JAR #2 were added to the "FORBIDDEN" List.

COACH SOLDIER WOLFBARK, MERMAIL ABYSSGUNDE, REKINDLING, and INFERNITY BARRIER were added to the "LIMITED" List.

NECROFACE and HIERATIC SEAL OF CONVOCATION were added to the "SEMI-LIMITED" List

MAGICAL STONE EXCAVATION and PRIMAL SEED are Removed from the other lists.

Back to me now, No Rekindling means that even my old Jurracs are Faster then the neutered Hazy-Flames. Hydra allows me to partially offset this, but until then, I need to play another deck for a month or few ...

So I'm looking Forward to the Hazy-Flame's "Last Hoo-rah" tomorrow! (for a while at least.)
Also, I wish to just give you the following link to a post that will appeal to all bargain hunting duelists.

Let's (Figuratively) burn down the House!

Chad.

This is getting serious!!

So after weeks at work, and not being able to do much but come home and sleep like a baby, a hungry hungry baby (Firefly reference for all you no believers out there), I have finally found 5 minutes to write up another blog post.

Where to begin. Well lets start off by giving Kev a big thank you for putting on the Friday night Magic events (on the Friday), and also to our own Harley, for running said nights.
Second off, let us also thank those who actually showed up after saying they would. I personally don't believe the card house would run without the die hard cardhousians that we have.

Also on that note, welcome back to The Chad from his little stint in "The big bad world of Doctors". It is good to hear you are well and traveling with us still. The house hasn't been the same in your absence.

Now back to it... My post this week is really just a big thank you post. First to those who read these (sometimes  boring, mine especially) blog posts, to the writers of the posts and also to all the unnamed faces that are always around the cardhouse trading, dueling, playing or otherwise enjoying the card house experience. I have many a friend that have come to the card house and were blown away at the warmth you all show to new comers and regulars alike.

Being one of the few who is able to just float in and out each day at the cardy, I find myself talking with all sorts of players, from those who build decks to make people cry (myself and Harley), to those who are just in it for a few laughs and a game of cards which they love. Doing so has not only allowed me to see the range of people at the cardy, but also the measure of character we have in our little community.

I know most of this will go over a lot of heads, but suffice to say, I am honored and proud to be a cardhousian, and the reason is because of all the other players (YOU) in the community. I myslef am not much, but when there are 40 odd Yugi players, and the same number again Magic players in the store, one can not help but think "I am part of something that not only means a lot to me, but also means a lot to each and every person here",

Lastly i will say this for all those reading still;

We do not stop playing because we get older; We get older because we stop playing.

May the spirit of the card house empower you all

Ride the Vanguard!

Where did he Go?

Cardhousians, guess who's back?

If you are thinking of anyone else but The Chad. then you'd probably be wrong.

I'll just give an update on WTH happened, and address the rumors I heard about my 'disappearance'.

Q 1. "Were you butt-hurt that you got pwned the last week, and ragequit forever?"

 A. No, I don't know how a paraplegic could be 'butt-hurt', no feeling, and while I got pwned the last time I went, I haven't rage-quit forever. As the Terminator says: 'I'll be back...'

Q2. Were you Abducted by aliens and probed?

A. No, the UN-Grey "Extra-Terrestrial Research Sampling Treaty" strictly forbids the abduction of retards and/or cripples, as they aren't representative samples of the human population, so no.

Q3. Did you finally get a Date?

A. Where does this talk of 'finally' come from? I met a few more interesting women, (tip to female Cardhousians apart from Fallon; You need to be Pretty bright as well as pretty to hook up with me.) but they aren't the reason I didn't make it last Saturday.

Q4. Were you in hospital?

Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a WinRAR here! I actually got sick after a rough-bus ride home.

Get to hospital, and I have Stones in both Kidneys that broke up like we wish One Direction would.

The Urology Unit in Nambour Hospital are still planning on going in and playing a game of "Where's Rocky" in the next few weeks, but for now I'm (physically) stable and right to go back to doing what I do best;

1. Nothing.
2. Playing Children's Card Games.
3. Getting Shot Down By Women.
4. Writing about Playing Children's Card Games.

 See you at the KO tournament Tomorrow!
