Good News Everyone!

Good News Everyone! I have created a device that let's you read this new-fangled web-log in Professor Farnsworth's Voice.

Bad News everyone! Fox has cancelled Futurama... (So what about Zoidberg?) so no more Planetary Express deliveries...

Which reminds me: We have the Hidden Arsenal 6 that needs to be delivered, along with the Blessing of the Ascended One that the fellow cardhousians got from a Facebook Competition.

Anyway, I want to thank Aaron Ford for his awesome posts on Card Fight : Vanguard. It is a Shame he wasn't writing when I started, as his advice would have made it so much easier for me to get started, C'est la vie.  

 I have also made it easier for everyone to post on here. Just send me a message on Facebook with an email address you can access; I'll send the invitation to post here in your own name, and then you can follow the prompts and be showered in the praise from your fellow Cardhousians!

Remember, my incentive/bribe is still up for grabs, so you can earn a booster pack of your choice while earning the respect of your peers!

Enough on that, here's the list and analysis of my current deck that I promised, and while a whole week late, is better then never.

RESULTS (Sunday 7th April, 2013)

1st opponent - Loss to Pharoh

Round 1 => Pharoh had his Atlanteans drown my monsters with sheer weight of numbers in the 1st game.

I  had Hazy Pillar to begin my lvl 5 normal summon spam, but the inability to draw Kaiser Collosseum until it was too effectively left the floodgates open for an atlantean synchro-drowning.

In hindsight, if I XYZ'ed for Photon Strike Bounzer instead of Basiltrice, I could have made it alot more painful.

Round 2 =>. Pharoh had free reign to drown with atlantean synchro-spam.

I had the inverse situation of above: I had Kaiser Colosseum, and needed Hazy Pillar to summon the one monsters required to activate Kaiser Colosseum's eff.


2nd opponent - Loss to Fallon

1st round => I was paired up against Fallon, using my old "Troll-face" Final Countdown deck, with her own modifications. Like our Regionals match-up last time, she stalled me through the countdown.

2nd round => My Hazy-Flame Basiltrice was about to be defeated through lifepoint loss, but her "Defense Draw" card effect negated the attack, and she got a free draw... The last piece of Exodia! She didn't tell me that was in there!

3rd opponent => Bi

4th Opponent => Draw to Nathan

1st round => Nathan's Six-Samurai were crippled by Kaiser Colosseum. He made one fatal mistake: He had shi-en, yet chose not to negate Kaiser Colosseum.

Because of this, I was able to stop Nathan from getting reinforcements until after I used rekindling to summon a host of Hazy Flames from the grave for a fully charged Basiltrice.

After that, That giant red Cock Hazy-Flame Basiltrice was able to roast all the 6 samurai individually.

2nd round => Nathan learned from his mistake in the 1st round, and went on to slay all my poor Hazy Flames... What did they do to you personally Nathan? If the 6 samurai weren't such evil bastards, killing fiery beasts of legend for "honour", there wouldn't have been a problem. Were the trophies really worth it? Hope their Dojo catches alight from a mounted head!

3rd round = before we had a 3rd round, I was Saved by the bell.

What Did I learn:

Dark bribes need to be changed out with something that minimizes hand advantage. "Magic Drain" might do for one, and a "Trap stun"

Monster effects are also a Pain In.The ... Arm, Okay, we'll go with that. Atlantean and Six Samurai are able to outnumber and overwhelm my Hazy Beasts using monster effects, I am thinking that Breakthrough Strike would be a better solution then Skill-Drain, and I need to fit them into my side deck somewhere.

Admittedly, Yugioh is FUBAR, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

The Chad is Great!
