AlikaeyOn the first day of Christmas Konami gave to me, an FTK.
So the new Kozmo cards were leaked.
Our dear friend Toma noticed that Trooper could be infinitely looped with Brain Research Lab, so we did some thinking. After brainstorming a few ideas to lead into the FTK combo, I noticed that we had over complicated everything and simplified it down to this 3 card combo.
The same thing can be achieved with Foolish Burial instead of Math (or you could draw into a Cube and just summon it), but Math requires additional steps to make enough room for the 2nd and 3rd Trooper to be summoned. It's really not all that hard, considering Brain Research Lab also provides the extra normal summon. It's also noteworthy that you might want to include Chicken Game to make things more consistent but also because you don't always want to search out a Kozmotown with Terraforming.
So yeah, Kozmo FTK. I also tried to make it so that you can sort of integrate it into an actual Kozmo deck, by making the FTK require as little cards as possible. Did some testing of this FTK in a "normal" Kozmo deck and it works fine. Got the FTK off first turn once out of a few duels and a few other duels allowed me to perform parts of this combo to finish an opponent off. How disgusting.

I think Ana has the most difficult job out of the 4 heroes. Accurate sleep darts are basically crucial if you want to beat this difficulty.
You can see how at the start where Reaper got woken up, allowing him to dodge and survive Deadeye messed us up a whole bunch.
But aside from that, a bit of coordination and polishing should make this easy to do.
Ana: Keep everyone alive while building Nanoboost for McCree and sleeping the Reapers/Roadhogs + stopping their ults. Grenades should also be used to prevent Roadhog from healing/reducing damage. This is big, since his Take a Breather basically cancels out an ult altogether if not stopped in time.
McCree: Build ult ASAP. A fully charged Deadeye will oneshot some bosses or take out a good chunk of health, all the while taking out all the trash mobs on the McCree's screen. The more you can spam this ult, the easier time you will have.
Soldier: Focus on the trash mobs that suicide into the door and using Helix Rockets to take down the Riptires. Tact Visor should be saved for when mobs start to overrun everyone as preserving the door health is crucial. Soldier should also try and aggro the bosses away from the door so people don't get spawn killed.
Hanzo: Focus on taking down the blue mobs that target players. If left alone, those bots will kill McCree before he can get his ult off. Dragonstrike should be used as lane denial or to kill Junkenstein/Symmetra.Oh, it worked.Alikaey2017-04-02 | ...[YGOPro] True BlueAlikaey2016-12-27 | Christmas video. Yay.

In correspondence to the TCG banlist that's been released as of now (25/08), Monkeyboard should be replaced by Bellman (it's surprisingly good) and Pendulum Sorcerer can be bumped up to 2 for more consistency. Ironically, the deck is now better in the OCG. The single Norden is no longer worth the Chicken Games and 2 Dewloren you get over in OCGland.
Woah, it's been 4 months. I hadn't planned to put off uploading for so long, but time just added up. Some viewers may be disappointed that the first video I post after so long is a re-do, but it was requested and easiest deck for me to do at this time.
I think this deck represents my playstyle well. It's based on speed and power while having the ability to fall back on the healing aspect of it. That's the type of MMO character I like to play.
So, as usual with these Again decks, not too much has changed, but I think I've significantly improved it since the last upload.The Stego + Lizardraw combo is still annoying as ever. But it's even better when the opponent doesn't bother to read and attacks neither of them.
And I animated my card sleeve for those who haven't noticed. Audio visualisers are so cool. It's not too noticeable, but it's there and it's pretty and it's really sexy. Thumbnails too.
* Special thanks to Carbunklle and Toma for helping. You can find their channels here:
- Pendulum Sorcerer Not entirely sure why I wasn't running him in the first build. It's a great Performapal card.
- Parrotrio Another really nice Performapal. It's ability lets you use it as a high or low scale . Perfect for whenever Monkeyboard gets rekt.
- Maxx C Although you can sort of look at this as a Chicken Game replacement, I think Maxx C is something that was supposed to be in the deck all along. The downside to using Maxx C is that you draw the cards you don't want to draw, but with this deck, there are no such cards. Apart from maybe a few Resonators because of Chain Resonator, but that's a minor set back.
- Effect Veiler Another Light Tuner for Ancient Sacred Wyvern, but also because opponents are annoying.
- Raigeki You really normally wouldn't catch me using staples in my decks. But I felt it was necessary for Blue. Dark Law, Infinity, Crystal Wing, a lot of these cards destroy combo decks like this where the first effect must go through, so Raigeki fixes that problem, if only temporarily. But then again, 1 turn is really all you need to go off.
- Rekindling I often found myself using Dewloren's effect, but not being able to SS a Red to heal off of his attack. But then I realised Rekindling was a card. Heal +++ then Crystal Wing. gud plays. You can also add in Soul Charge since Red pretty much nullifies the LP cost of it, but the Battle Phase skipping is a bit of a turn off. I suppose you can just use it in the same turn as AFD.
- Mask Change Second Alongside Twin Twister, this is my out to backrow heavy decks. Backrow decks absolutely kill this deck. Actually, they kill every deck. So Acid = Ragequit. And Dark Law. Can't forget about Dark Law, it's like a win condition by itself.
- Starlight Road THAT'S SO 2010! But I'm bringing it back. Twin Twister and Raigeki is everywhere, plus Stardust Dragon stops Pendulum Sorcerer, Luster Pendulum, Ignister, Sky Iris, Metalphoes etcetcetc. I honestly think Starlight Road and Stardust are viable options in this meta.
- Echo Oscillation Brilliant card to combo with Dinomist Charge. It's essentially a free draw every turn. So you may wonder why I'm only running 1 if it's so good. Well, it's only really amazing if you have Charge, and you don't always draw the two together. I also consider this the replacement for the draw power Chicken Game offered.
- Solemn Warning My favorite Solemn card. It's artwork is the best out of them all. Also, you can add it back with Nirvana which is completely busted. Opponents need to die.
- Red Rising Dragon Useful, but I don't use it to its full effect in this deck. Mainly because all of the Dark Lv8 Dragons are a bit mediocre to summon first turn, and I really only use Red Rising to make Ancient Leaf more playable. It's second effect to revive 2 Lv1 Resonators is cool though. I rarely use it, but still.
- Treatoad The new cancer card. I'm running this over Infinity as it means I won't have to bother with running 2 Level 5 Dinomists anymore. I'd get rid of Rex if it weren't for its good effect, because it's still a bummer to draw a Resonator only to not have anything to summon because RNG decides to give you a Lv5 instead. I mean, you can still run Infinity if you want, I just don't find it necessary. The recycling aspect of Treatoad is amazing as well.

Music: Taishi - Rootus Taishi - The Personalizer FELT - Story (Piano Cover)[YGOPro] BlueAlikaey2016-03-21 | ROBOT DINOSAURS AND TIGERS.
I made this deck to contrast my last upload, Embers, which was mostly graveyard and banish oriented. I'm enjoying this deck a lot - I've always wanted to make a Dewloren heavy deck that was less "slow you down" and more "rip your face off".
I was never really a fan of Dinomist either, but with Nirvana being released I found a use in them. Would I call this a Dinomist deck? I'm not sure. But at least it's working fine.
~~~ Card choices: - Dinomist Stegosaurer Some people probably don't see too much use in this card. I like it though, it can create OTK situations with Nirvana, allowing you to instantly switch to using Nirvana's Pendulum effect.
- Genex Ally Birdman More of just a toolbox tuner. I rarely ever go into level 8 Synchros in this deck outside of Baxia and if I do ever get a level 5 Dinomist out it's usually for Infinity. For a more Xyz oriented build, Birdman can be used to summon Axel to revive your machines.
- Prior of the Ice Barrier You can run Medallion to gain access to this card quicker but I think I prefer it as it is. Some people may not like it, but since this deck benefits a lot from Dewloren's mass bounce, I find sense in running a few extra cards to keep Dewloren on the field.
- Chain Resonator I was on and off with this card but decided to run it in the end. Since I want to be able to summon Red Resonator after using Dewloren's effect, the more ways I can special summon Red, the better. Plus, it's the LIGHT tuner I need for Sacred Wyvern.
- Ancient Leaf Funny card. The deck can use this card anyway, but even more so since people like to main 3x Upstart now. I always find it hilarious when a dead Ancient Leaf in my opening draw is suddenly made live by the opponent's Upstart.
- Resonator Engine The Spell card, I mean. Just another card to search out Joker, though I have used it once to shuffle Red Resonator back into the deck for Chain Resonator to re-summon. And being able to access Synkron Resonator multiple times per duel is always nice.
- Moray of Greed I like it. Since your Dinomist cards usually end up going back to the hand once you've Synchro Summoned with them, you can shuffle them back in return for 3 new cards and continue on with combos. I wouldn't play more than 1, however, unless you have more WATER monsters. I believe I'm only playing 7 last time I counted.
- Dynamic Powerload I didn't use this card but I wanted another field card and didn't want to run 3x Chicken Game so I went with this instead. It helps against Kozmo, Shaddolls and whatnot but other than that it's just a filler card that adds extra utility to the deck.
- Chicken Game I was iffy about running this field but since I wanted this deck to be consistent and fast, I decided to use it. As this is a wombo combo deck it falls prey to Red Eyes Flare, so Chicken Game can help to limit the amount of damage received until you can heal up again.
- Spiritual Art - Aoi It's practically free to activate this card, so you might as well. It's kind of overpowered if you think about it, gaining all that knowledge of what the opponent has and then being able to poke a card out of their hand...
- Ragna Zero I never used her in the video since I usually try to avoid Xyz summoning, but she combos well with Plesios.

Also, wow, first 40 card deck in how many months?!
So I wanted to make something more consistent yet still competitive this time, so this was the result. You can see the increased amounts of backrow hate as more of a cockblock remover, because Dark Magicians are annoying as are Majespecters.
Another thing I was trying out in this deck is the Metalphosis Fusion as discard fodder. Like, there is not reason for it to be a free +1 in the grave, so I might as well make use of it. Works pretty nicely with Landoise when I played it in the build with Madolches.
For the finalised deck, I wasn't able to get a replay of Psi Impulse being used at all... somehow. It's really easy to meet the cost since this deck can spam out Omega like no tomorrow. I added it as a counter measure to Maxx C, but it can also be useful mid game or in specific situations like that duel I had with the LS player - I could have forced them to deck out by making them draw all of their cards as they had 2 in hand and 1 in the deck (if it were not for that Minerva mill).
So, like, would you believe me if I told you this deck started out as a Bujin deck? Nah, I wouldn't either. I only really wanted to make use of Bujinki Amaterasu (because she looks so cool), and this ended up happening. You can see some of my failed ideas in the side deck.
~~~ Time for the wall of text where I explain some card choices:
- Bujingi Centipede:
It's mostly there for Bujincident. I wasn't running it before and usually just left Amaterasu banished but since I started playing the LS engine, I thought I might as well. Plus, it's some extra backrow hate.
- Archfiend Eater:
An essential for the Heart Earth combo. Although, there is still use in it if you want to get rid of some Xyz monsters that are no longer useful.
- Shuffle Reborn:
I enjoy this card. I only run 1 copy of Uni Zombie so you can shuffle it into the deck to resummon with Shiranui Sage and reset its level or recycle Xyz monsters that no longer have material. Before, I also used it to put back cards like Madolche Chateau. The banishing effect during the end phase can also be used to set off Shiranui cards, which I remember doing once. I didn't include the replay though.
- Psi-Impulse:
I've gotten out 2 Omegas first turn more than once, it really isn't that unlikey. So why not make use of one of them and reduce the opponent's hand size down by 2? Or more if they Maxx C'd. It makes the Maxx C challenge non existent.
- Zombie World:
It's not only a good counter against Monarchs (unless they have Erebus) and Majespecters, but it's also needed for Uni Zombie as only Zombie type monsters can attack the turn it's milling effect is used.
- Bujincident:
I only really included it to show off the combo with Magical Hats but then I ended up enjoying the card too much. Omega is unaffected by it, so why not?
- Daunting Pose:
Card is broke. With Omega, that is. Maybe Omega is broke instead then. The idea is to just target Omega with Daunting Pose and then banish Omega. Since the opponent now only has Omega as an attack target, with it banished they can't attack at all. You then recycle Daunting Pose with Omega and re-use it again. Of course, it can be stopped by cards like Breakthrough Skill... but then again that's why I run 2 Omegas.
- Purge Ray:
Only reason I run it at 2 is because I want the chance to draw it first turn to be higher.
- Magical Hats:
Because free draws with Metalphosis Fusion.

So, like, I'm not really sure what to type here. Deck explains itself, so I think I'll just go over alternative choices you can make.
Odd-Eyes Unicorn: Didn't use it much in the video as it was added during the final revision of the deck. Let's you get out Odd Eyes Dragon and combined together with Nekroz Claus is a devastating 5k damage combo. Attacking into a Rose Token is a more simpler alternative.
Gishki: You can definitely make this deck Gishki/Monarch centered. Black Garden summons Gishki Abyss which can then search out Emilia for a 1 turn Trap Stun and Zealgigas always adds to consistency.
Traptrix: Again, Black Garden can bring back Myrmeleo and the lack of traps/ability to remove traps from the grave makes Treacherous Trap Hole useable.
Gem Knights: Not so much Gem Knight, but more of just utilising Brilliant Fusion. It's able to set off Edea and Lazuli can be sent to add back vanilla Penduums like Dracoslayers/rulers and Risebell.
Burgesstoma: Though they were used in the earlier build of this deck, I decided against them as I didn't utilise their self reviving effect enough. However, they're pretty much just trap versions of staples so it's not unlikely that they will work well in most decks.
Synchrons: Drill Warrior works great in this deck. You can also use it to Xyz Beatrice and other stuff with Risebell + Prime Monarch and then revive it later with Black Garden. Much fun with monster management.
I think that's it for the more "consistent" choices. Other than that... ayyyy lmao.

So I built this deck with the word "budget" in mind. I should be able to make this in real life if Pre-Prep and Blue Eyes isn't too expensive. Archfiend Eccentrick though...
So I'll go over a few card choices:
- Jinzo He's like the dark horse. So good against backrow bitches. And hes also a free monster if people MST your Call of the Haunted. Being a level 6 DARK, he's easy to use in this deck.
- Caius He's more or less just a filler. You can trade it him for any card, but I wanted to have one more DARK level 6 monster and he was a good choice. Angmar is nice as well, but that required me to run multiples of certain Spells which I didn't want to do. I tried out Delg, the Dark Monarch as well, but he didn't sit well with me. Maybe Tour Bus would be nice?
- Jinzo - Jector Has decent defence that you can sit behind. It can instantly summon a Jinzo, but even if it doesn't, the knowledge of what set cards your opponent has can give you quite the advantage. Knowledge is power.
- Edea, the Heavenly Squire I had wanted a way to recycle the banished cards and Edea was the only good option. Since he's a level 1 LIGHT, he was easy to integrate into the deck and it worked out better than I expected. The deck doesn't really mind not being able to Special from the Extra deck anyway, so you benefit from both effects. The Special Summoned Eccentrick can also be used to destroy Edea if you need to add one of your banished Monarch spells.
- Djinn, Demolisher of Rituals rip Infinity
- Instant Fusion Dewloren. Also so that I can get the Fusion effect of Dreamland.
-Strike of the Monarchs I mainly use Strike for its grave effect. You can banish it and make everything LIGHT for Decisive Armor, though alternatively you can make Norden a LIGHT for Ma'at or everything a WATER for Dewloren. It's rather versatile and fun to use.
- Monarchs Stormforth The ultimate bluff card. 99% guaranteed that the opposing Infinity will negate it, even if you can't actually tribute summon anything.
- Dreamland I really like this card for some reason. Maybe because of its artwork or its super fun effect. It can help you level climb into Decisive Armor more easily, but it's also free level fodder for Level Eater. It also screws over Xyz decks and big monsters that can't be targeted.
- Dragons Bind Pretty much shuts down a lot of Pendulum decks. Your ideal target is a Saffira that was summoned using Djinn, but White Spirit Dragon is also a good target.
- The Primordial Monarch The synergy is strong with this card. Becomes a LIGHT Fairy type monster, exactly what Ma'at needs. The 2400 DEF is nothing to laugh at either and the fact that it summons itself as a level 5. So good.
That's pretty much it for the maindeck. It was originally a Blue Eyes deck but I swapped out most of the cards for a Monarch engine instead. It now has a bit of difficulty with getting out a LIGHT Dragon for Ma'at, but you rarely ever draw Ma'at to begin with anyway, so all is good.
Psyframe Omega was good as well, puts back all the Monarch spells and Hymns, but he was rarely ever summoned. Plus, it's so expensivveee.
You can swap out a Veiler for Ghost Ogre but, again, budget deck.
I don't think there's too much else to say. I really like this deck so hopefully I'll be able to play with it a bit in real life before things start to get hit. I have nobody to play with though, #foreveralone.
~~~ Music: Frontier Records - Fires of Hokkai (Trance Remix) EastNewSound - Nothing Guilty Hachimitsu-Lemon - Close To You Yuy - Fragile Dreams[YGOPro] Random Duels 2Alikaey2016-01-13 | Didn't expect a video so soon, did you? I've been having fun with Egyptian gods lately. It sure feels awesome to play them in a duel.
Just a quick video for two reasons, one is to just show off some additional combos from Sylvans (though I failed to get a replay of Power Tool + Mark of the Rose), and another is to announce the monetization of my videos. I doubt the ads will bother anyone, but I'm just doing this to see how much I can generate. Do click an ad if you have the time, it helps and is greatly appreciated.
The second deck, it was mainly made to abuse 101. I thought I'd use Raid Raptors since they can make rank 4s quite easily and go also go directly into C101 if they want to. Other than that, the deck doesn't do much else aside from using Last Strix to go into that big Ultimate chicken. I have my own Ultimate chicken though. A Mega Ultra one.
Still though, Fuzzy Lanius seems to be a great fodder card. It's like a somewhat more restricted Sinister Serpent. I still hate Raid Raptors though. They don't doooo anything.
This is an add on to my "[YGOPro] Next Level Sylvans" video. I didn't use my "Again" thing with the title because reasons. God card decks at least deserve their very own video title. Also, since this is a sequal of sorts, the focus of the video is mainly directed at combos with the Egyptian gods, you'll have to watch Next Level Sylvans if you want to watch other combos, though I did try to integrate them a bit here. And also because this, to me, feels less like a Sylvan deck than it does just an excavation deck.
So, who likes god cards? With the addition of True Name, my Sylvans can now perform an even larger array of stupid moves and long winded combos. Not to mention first turn Crystal Wing is so easy; Move over, Clear Wing.
People love Obelisk, but I prefer Slifer. Its effect is so much more disruptive and essentially locks out the opponent's normal summon and deters them from special summoning in ATK, meaning less monsters will be attacking that turn. Obelisk is more or less just there for easy OTKs, while Ra is... it's a huge chicken.
I've changed the Extra deck around a little tiny bit, and the main deck is a lot more... I don't know. Alikaey'd. Ideally, you want to consistently be able to gain some field presence first turn in the form of Ultimaya or Beatrice. Former is for disruptive plays, while the latter is geared more towards a defensive play. And then the deck does the rest. I would also suggest adding Blasting Dracoslayer, as you can summon it with Ultimaya and is an instant -2 for Pendulum opponents. Dragunity Knight Trident is more gimmicky but it can be fun to poke cards out of the opponent's Extra deck. Personally, I also still love Mischief as a card, it's just great against Synchro or Xyz players.
It's actually not too unreasonable to think that dead draws come hard and fast. They do. I opened with Slifer, Ra, Obelisk and Sphere Mode at one point. Want to guess if I won? I didn't. If you want to play this, I would suggest changing cards around a bit. Maybe stick to either just one or two god cards. While Horahkty isn't too difficult to summon with the right cards in hand, she's more of just a last resort against decks that stall and/or otherwise want to win with unconventional methods.
In the side deck, I stuck in a Galaxy Queen's Light. It's a good card for this deck as it also opens up the option for rank 10 plays and it's quite possible to end up with a field of 3 or 4 level 10s. Imagine that, using a god card as material. How fun.
It was difficult finding the room in this deck to stick in everything. I would have liked to have kept the Komushroom, Lotuswain and extra copy of Oath and Back Jack, but in the end it didn't turn out too bad. I think I'm going to put those cards back in after this though. It's surprisingly more difficult to sumon Dewloren without Lotuswain, and Oath contributed a lot to long term card advantage.

I do, and Speedroids can do it with as little as 2 cards, provided you don't draw any of the other combo pieces. Other than that, so far it's really inconsistent because it can't do much else, or maybe it's just this particular build.
I don't have much of an opinion about Speedroids themselves other than they have a lot of Synchro options, and Jewels of the Valiant is definitely viable in the deck. Maybe Shaddoll Speedroids could work, but I'm not going to be the person who creates that.

Magical Spring is one that I really like. It prevents Pendulum Magicians from destroying themselves, can potentially turn Vanity's Emptiness against the opponent and when combo'd with Lord of the Red, it gets rid of the discard cost if you chain and destroy Spring. Provided you don't have any other face-up S/Ts.
Stardust also proved to be surprisingly effective against Pendulum Magicians, and serves to slow down their searching so they can't vomit onto the field as fast.
The rest of the duels were just me messing around. This probably would've been a good video to show some losses, but I couldn't find any interesting games where I lost. Most of my lost games were either against the same old meta decks or where I couldn't do much.

So, not much was changed about the main deck, but I made it 44 cards. Reason being, there are some cards I don't really want to draw into and 44 was a nice number.
I also made the deck less reliant on Infinity. You can still quite easily spam it out, but it's no longer a go-to card and is only ever really used to protect the field on the opponent's turn against cards like Raigeki.
That being said, Utopia is a great addition to the deck. It gets over a lot of problem cards like Infinity and Qliphort Tower, should I ever come across them. And Leo Arms just because I can. Also, I didn't have enough space in the Extra deck for C39, but if you can find the space, run it. It's an additional material for Utopia Lightning and allows him to use his effect twice. If the opponent as a tendency to spam out multiple Infinitys or 101s, it could be wise to consider playing Emerald, as you can use Emerald's effect to change Utopia to defence to avoid it being absorbed.
Beast-Eyes is sort of unnecessary. I mostly put him in there for style points, but sometimes the burn damage actually helps. With this build, I can only summon him with Aether Dragon, but Dark Rebellion Dragon can also be used instead.
Aether Dragon, as mentioned earlier, was one of the cards I didn't want to draw into. It can destroy cards, but it being a Scale 4 made it undesirable.
Lastly, I don't know how, but I managed to make the deck focus more on Crystal Beasts. You will see them more often now.
I think one of the main themes of this deck is to have monsters that just keep returning to the field. Pendulums that spam out every turn, Crystal Beasts that never truly leave the field and Clownblade... well. It becomes very easy to build up field presence every turn if all three are used well.
For the weaknesses of the deck, it surprisingly isn't backrow destruction. It being a combo based decks, negation really hits it hard. And, unfortunately, there isn't really a way for me to counter that. When it comes to cards like Herald of Perfection, Utopia Lightning can get over it, but with Herald of Ultimateness... well, I don't think any deck can manage well against multiple Solemn Judgments.
Heavy backrow is also a bit of a problem, which is one of the reasons why I bumped Eccentric Archfiend up to 3. Though, it shouldn't become too much of a problem if you manage your cards well and not lose card advantage.
Overall, I enjoy this deck. It's nice to see Crystal Beasts back in action. ~~~

Music: EastNewSound - Future Megalopolis Kyoto 天音- 燐燁雪霞 ~ Snowly Feast イルカ - Interdimensional Voyage of a Ghostly Passenger Ship[YGOPro] RewindAlikaey2015-04-28 | So I noticed I hadn't posted in a while. Again. Been Busy. So here's another video. It had started out with me wanting to troll around with Acid Golem Swap but then it just became this. I don't know what this is.
Silvermountain has a lot of synergy with the deck, but I didn't get to really use it in the video, which is a shame. I tried to look for decent opponents as well, but it was quite a disaster. Almost every deck I faced was either bland or bad. Makes me wonder if I'm looking hard enough for decent replays.
There was a replay where I abused Dichotomy a few times, but that got corrupted so I wasn't able to use it. Sadness.
Lance helps out with getting over stuff with Silvermount and Crusader so you can get their effects off, but it's also useful to counter backrow like Bottomless. This deck, like many combo decks, tends to be a bit fragile.
To add to the backrow hate, I included Release Restraint Wave. Rainbow Kuriboh was going to be included anyway because I hate being OTK'd before I can do cool stuff, so I thought to add RRW because why not? The deck's already random enough as it is.
Instant Fusion into Noden would make things a lot easier, but that's pretty much a shortcut for everything so I stuck it into the side. Assault Mode is decent but I dead drew into Stardust too much. Funny how it tends to give me all the singles and none of the triples.
And Dewloren. Because my decks are not complete unless Dewloren is somewhere in the decklist.
In all honestly, this deck probably shouldn't be working as well as it is. And to think I had wanted to include more tech cards.

I forgot how much fun this deck is. Got hit so badly after the whole Dragon Ruler incident, banned Stream, limited Tidal, limited Diva, limited Dragoons... the hit was real. But now we have Prince and all our inconsistency problems have magically been solved. Somewhat. And most likely only for a short while because that guy is going to get hit like no tomorrow.
Now, hypothetically speaking, this deck can take on almost any situation. It has all the cards to deal with anything it's weak against, for example:
-Vanity, Macro and Skill Drain - Ice Edge and Lost Blue Breaker -Djinn Nekroz - Atlantean Infantry -Dark Law, Cyber Dragon Infinity - Tidal, Nekroz Unicore
and so on. Only problem is getting the right cards, which requires a bit of luck. Now, that probably wouldn't be that much of a problem, if only Tidal were not limited, because the deck now relies on having the opponent destroy either Skreech or Nimble Sunfish by battle. But whatever.
For the card choices, Dragon Ice deserves a shout out. It's such a good tech, allowing me to activate Infantry on my opponent's turn more easily to kill whatever ghastly thing they just spammed out. Amazing.
I also decided to include Mermails in this build simply because they make rank 7s and 4s more possible, serve as floaters, and because Pike and Turge are so good. Pike searches either your Ice Edge or Lost Blue Breaker to deal with any backrow and Turge adds back your Infantrys and Diva. Abusing that Diva is so important.
And Nekroz because style points. No, they're actually really good. I was hesitant about them at first, because screw pendulums, but Zefra Saber acts as a Ritual Spell while still being a monster so it synergises perfectly with the deck. Originally, Brio and Valk were stuck into the side deck because this deck is particularly vulnerable on the opponent's turn (with the whole lack of Traps and whatnot), so Valk was good for stopping OTKs. But, in the end, I sucked up and threw Saber in there. And a Trish, because style points for getting a completely random and unexpected Trish out.
Other than that, the deck is pretty much the same. The previous build before the hit was actually a 60 card deck, due to how well it actually worked, so I had to take a lot of techs out. You'll find most in the side deck of the video but ones not included are:
-Fog King - rank 7 material -Sea Lancer - to get back banished stuff (though this stops Treeborn) -Mother Grizzly - to summon out Sea Lancer or Rage of the Deep Sea more easily -Gishki Shellfish - I was always a bit meh about this, but it can be useful to topdeck certain cards -Penguin Archetype - should be self explanatory -Frog Archetype - also self explanatory -Shock Troops of the Ice Barrier - anti Water decks and can be searched by itself or Pike -Atlantean Attack Squad - easy beatstick or rank 3 material -Imairuka - some extra draw power or mill and doesn't care if it's destroyed by battle or effect
-Leo, Keeper of the Sacred Tree - good first turn summon with Diva - Prince - Child Dragon -Herald of the Pure Light - Good enough to have a second copy -Number 101 - alternative rank 4 option and works to activate Dragoons -Gachi Gachi Gantetsu - alternative rank 2 option -Ghostrick Dullahan - an alternative rank 1 option
And that's about it. For the record, yes, I could have stuck in an Abyss-sphere or any of the Abyss-Scales but I chose not to purely for the purpose of this video and the whole concept of a no Spell/Trap deck. By all means stick in a copy since it can be easily searched with Megalo and your chances of accidentally milling it with Planter are slim to none.

I encountered so many problems along the way, but it's finally finished. Hope it was worth the wait.
It would've been ideal for my to have uploaded this on the 17th, since that's the day I uploaded my first video, but problems happened during and after editing/rendering.
Another reason why it took so long was because some of these duels... near impossible. I kept dueling until I could pull the combo off on some unsuspecting random. I had to do it quickly as well, in the first few turns, otherwise the video would have been too long. I feel as if an achievement has been made.
Editing was a pain, too. It may not look it but the amount of editing work this required was the most excruciatingly tedious thing ever. Those sound dips you hear when a cinematic plays? I had to manually add them because Camtasia is a bum and doesn't provide an option to create sound dips. Then it turns out I did too much editing and it wouldn't render the whole video so I had to split it in parts and then put everything back together.
That being said, it's been a great 2 years for this channel. Not once have I asked for people to subscribe/like/leave comments, so to know that there are now over 1000 people who enjoy my videos enough to do such things makes me... er. Happy. Yeah.
For those of you who have been with me since long before, back when I didn't even think of making deck profile videos, thanks for sticking with me. Yeah. And for those who are newly acquainted, I hope you continue to enjoy whatever I decide to upload next... I feel adding an exclamation mark would make me sound too happy.
Well, I'm done with the description. More information can be found in the video credits.

Music: East New Sound - Waltz under the Half Moon RD-Sounds - 幻想スノーフィールド Deep Mountain QLOCKS - 月想譚~さよなら月の歌~ History of the Moon[YGOPro] Nuke.dekAlikaey2015-01-17 | This deck is like a massive middle finger to everyone. User included.
As you've probably guessed, I'm not quite into the game due to how the meta is changing. Thus, I created this monstrosity to tackle the meta in my own, silent-hatred, rage-inducing manner.
The deck... yeah, I don't even. It sometimes works, it sometimes doesn't. I tried to make it less highlander-ish, in hopes of having more consistency, but eh, it limited the amount of combos. Why use 3 Upstarts when I can use something totally inconsistent and crazily fun, right?
Onto some of the important cards that I didn't use (I think) in the video.
Herald of Pure Light. Rather important. Malicious, ran only at 2, can become a problem if you draw into one at the wrong time, so Herald solves that problem out. Also works on World of Prophecy if you want to summon it with Tempest.
Dark Law. Like Acid, it's just a precaution and adds to the salt.
Destiny Draw. Running 1 since you only need 1. Malicious can be searched with Shadow Mist, which can be searched with Summoner Monk, Arma, Foolish, Chain and Fusion, so you hardly ever end up with a dead Destiny Draw. As for when to use it... I just do. If I have another way of nuking the field, I'd probably just ditch the second Malicious for 2 draws.
There really isn't too much to say about this deck.... Well, I suppose there can be, but I'm lazy.

Credits to MooonlightComet for recording this for me.[YGOPro] The KingAlikaey2014-11-14 | You all know that Dewloren is my favourite card. Remember that Frosty's Forest deck from a while ago? Well, I remade it so it could keep up with the meta and this is the result. I didn't plan for it to be so Mermlantean based, but it can't be helped. The main idea is still there so it works. That Nightmare Shark combo can easily cause some deadly direct attacks, as well.
Hm, the most important cards in the deck are definitely the Traps. Without them, you can't hinder the opponent's plays and they'll just run the deck over. Luckily, I run 10 traps. With 3 Decrees.
Some may be wondering why the triple Decree when I run so many Traps, and the answer is (yolo) Dewloren. Dewloren gives me the ability to, basically, turn Decree on and off. Giving me the say in when Traps are allowed to be active. It also combos nicely with Fiendish Chain and Call of the Haunted, letting them stay on the field even if the monster is destroyed. In return for having the ability to manipulate Decree, I also get full control over cards like Vanity's Emptiness. I get to Special Summon, the opponent doesn't.
Main threat against this deck is MST. It just kills whatever combos you set up, so that Prohibition in the main deck is very important. I also stuck it in the main deck as you can return it to your hand with Dewloren and then just declare another card. Example would be me declaring Battle Fader when I'm about to attack for game.
Other noticeable changes I've made include me reducing the Snowman Eaters to 1 and completely removing the Tour Guides, Mist Valley Falcons and Psychics. For multiple reasons. Snowman is just too slow. It's a great card, which is why I kept it, but other than that, it's just... eugh. Not to mention everything's a floater nowadays.
TGU. Don't get me wrong, Tour Guide is a great card, but she eats up my Normal Summon and too many cards in the deck rely on me performing successful Normal Summons. It wasn't worth it to keep TGU, so I ditched her in favour of the Mermails. Same reason applies to the Falcons.
And the Psychics. They're great and rather fast, but it was just a matter of synergy. The cards didn't go together very well.
Prior of the Ice Barrier is also somewhat more consistent now. Since Dewloren is what the deck revolves around, as long as he doesn't get banished, this deck can quite easily keep a Dewloren on the field or get it back form the Extra deck/Graveyard.
Hmm, as mentioned already, I tried to make it so that this deck could compete with the meta (and be somewhat of a budget deck so I can make it in real life) which is why cards like Vanity are included. But other cards that deal with the meta are Ancient Forest - kills Flip Effects (Shaddolls), Masked Heroes - one is a Feather Duster and the other is a Macro, Abysslinde and Abyssphere - Linde is a great floater so she provides some extra defence while Sphere can be MST bait and Eradicator Virus (in the Side deck) - summon a Downered Magician for an instant target and problems like Spellbooks and the like are as good as dead.
There are some other cards that I wanted to include but didn't have the room (such as Armades and Sea Lord's Amulet). Although, adding that Allure of Darkness into the main deck is very possible and recommended, I just didn't know what to take out and didn't want to make it a 41 card deck for aesthetic reasons. On a side note, Kaiser Colosseum is good as well.

This is my half of the video, the other half is on Fluffy's channel.
So, this was born from another Skype chat the group had... as usual. Casually joking about sticking Sophia in everything, just the normal day in the YTDC Skype chat.
Skype chat: Fluffy: What would be a good card in Qliphorts? Tenma: Sophia! Moon: Oryaaa! Summon Sophia in everything! Ali: With Horakhty! Tekashi: ._. Tenma: No, no, Horakhty too easy in Qliphorts. Ali: Hmmm, wut about Self Horakhty then? Fluffy: What? Ali: Like Shio's Self Exodia, except you Horakhty yourself, instead. Tenma: ...Wow. Fluffy: We are doing this.
Bonus segment: Ali: Moooon, gimme your D Ali: You're Dropbox account* Moon: K den. My D shall remain safe.
Or something along those lines. Anyway, after 9 hours of continuous labour (I luckily got a replay after 4 hours, Fluffy after 7), and multiple different deck attempts, this is the end result.
Videos like these kind of remind me of why I wanted to start a channel in the first place. Didn't think I'd be able to get this far when I first started, and I doubt I would've without the help from the YTDC. So I have quite a lot of people to thank. Hopefully this video shows my appreciation and gratitude for everyone.
Not much else to say... video kind of explains itself :c

Music: Naruto Shippuden OST - My Name[YGOPro] Token Garden AgainAlikaey2014-10-14 | Pollinosis is a Solemn Judgment at 3!
So anyway, just a little update on one of my more original decks I made in the past, back when my channel was just starting out. It's one of the decks that I, surprisingly, enjoy playing more and has survived all of my deck clear outs that I do every now and then.
Reason probably being that it's trolly as hell and is hilarious to watch the opponent struggle helplessly before an army of tokens that they themselves summoned. Lava Golem and Volcanic Queen add salt to the wound.
The deck runs all sorts of side deck material, so it's just a matter of drawing them along with getting Black Garden out to defeat certain meta decks.
There are many more recommendations on cards to run. Santa Claws and Silent Wobby can serve as replacements or additions for Volcanic Queen and Lava Golem. The main point of these cards is to, basically, force tokens to be summoned onto your side of the field if the opponent is being annoying by not wanting to summon anything. Of course, it's always nice to get rid of monsters in the meantime, so Lava Golem is generally preferred over Wobby, but both have their uses in situations.
More side deck material includes Imperial Iron Wall, Light/Shadow Imprisoning Mirror, Mask of Restrict, Imperial Customs and Twister. Twister because Royal Decree is quite the threat. Running Ivy Shackles over DNA because it can be used to bait and +1.
Hm. There's not too much to say about this deck as it's rather straightforward and entirely depends on what traps are drawn + how your opponent handles the situation they're in.
Err, updating a deck as it's less effort so it's easier to fit into my schedule.
Music: TAMUSIC - Shanghai Alice of Meiji (woops, used this twice) TAMUSIC - Lullaby of a Deserted Hell Satori Maiden 3rd Eye 5- Xe[YGOPro] The Bird, the Witch and the SoldaAlikaey2014-08-22 | Solda, Magi Magi and Basiltrice are the boss monsters... I suppose. I went into Solda the most since Solda can protect itself, but Magi Magi and Basil can come in handy at times. My past videos usually had the theme of "epic stuff happening at the end for a big finale" but this time, I tried to have a "build up" and then a "cool down" leading to the decklist.
So far, I'm loving "Noden", "Nyarla" and "Chthugha". Since you, arguably, only need "The Unspeakable Trapzohedron" in the main deck, it allows room for a lot of creative thinking. Chthugha is great. Bounces back all your opponent's Rank 4s and lets you recycle your own once you exhaust all the materials. I get bored of decks really easily, but this should be interesting.
First turn Solda came to me on a whim, here's how to do it: Mathematician + Inari Fire or Archfiend Eater + Astral Force - Summon Math - Send Carboneddon and banish for Flamvell Guard. - Special Inari or Eater and Synchro Summon Chthugha - Overlay for Nyarla using Chthugha and Inari or Eater - Use Nylarla, targeting Flamvell Guard - Use Astral Force on Nyarla - Spam out a Solda for big surprise.
There are other methods for first turn Solda, but the one listed above should be the easiest and minus you the least.
Normally, maybe some of you viewers have noticed, I don't use many counter or destruction cards in my decks. I stopped... well, I kind of forgot about Dark Hole a while ago, and used all the room for techs instead. Since I'm easily annoyed by decks such as Shaddoll, Sacksworn and all that other annoying crap, I decided to make this deck more... "competitive", so to say.
Reason why I prefer not to disrupt my opponent's strategy is so I can see what they're going to do and, hopefully, learn a few things. Except everyone plays the same thing now, and I know what they're going to do before they do it.
For the deck, it doesn't have too much comeback ability. Meaning, if you get nuked or something, you'll most likely lose unless you have a decent hand size. Which is why I suggest playing very conservatively with this deck and only push for game when you know you can win. Chow Len and Armades serve to make it easier. The Bujin duel is a good example. You can see how I mostly had to rely on my hand being good. after the nuke.
As I mentioned above, the deck has a lot of room for creative thinking. The extra deck space may be a bit tight, but you can practically do anything you want with the main deck, so feel free to mess around, yourself.

Music: N-tone, Dust_Box_49 - Pendulum Pizuya's Cell - Unknown Memories[YGOPro] Ninja SphinxAlikaey2014-08-05 | Was messing about with old cards and this was born.
Originally, Theinen was included, but his effect is terriible compared to Andro's so I took him out and replaced for a 3rd Andro. Cut Teleia down to one, since her ATK isn't really good, and most monsters have low DEF, nowadays.
Drawing White Dragon Ninja is the worst. But 3 are needed. I often find myself with no target for the 2nd Transformation, which sucks, so I added another along with Sword of Seven Stars to try and lessen the dead draw.
The main idea is to spam out Andro Sphinx quickly and have Mound of the Bound Creator active, so you get an army of mini Obelisks with burn effects. Can't be targeted or destroyed by card effects, so you usually go wild with them after they're out. Having White Dragon out alongside them to protect the Field Spell would be ideal, but you tribute them for Transformation a lot of the time and/or drawing them, so that ideal field is rare to come by.
Aso, I have to say, Ghastly and Golden Bamboo Sword have become a draw engine. Very OP. Much draw.
Extra deck is rather generic and, again, the Side contains card suggestions.
For the actual video, I couldn't find any good opponents so I just dueled and collected the replays as they came. Deleted some of the worst and rounded them down to these 3. Last duel was with MoonlightComet.
Err, this isn't the best deck, but I believe that with a bit of dedicated work it could become great.

This is actually a test video as well to see how my recording and editing is before I apply it all onto Project Synchronise. From the looks of it, I might have to switch to Fraps if Camstudio can't capture all the frames.
I've always been interested in Naturias and the new Trap, Sacred Tree, made them a lot more consistent. You can see, through the decklist, that I couldn't really decide what I wanted to do. I was stuck between Bamboo lock, Fruitfly lock and various other Naturia variants.
Although, Sacred Tree would probably make it possible to have multiple variants within one deck...
Music: xi~on - Overflow East New Sound - Youkai Temple (instrumental)[YGOPro] Mistress Doriadoll (feat. Sophia)Alikaey2014-05-18 | Err. Yeah. Sophia.
Ignore Sophia, main point was to show how Mistress Doriado functions in the deck. I probably should've waited until more attribute Shadoll Fusions were released in order to fully utilise Doriado, but I got bored so this is a rough, early sketch of the deck. Side deck is made of possible card choices.
Shadolls are OP. But they're fun if you do weird things with them.
I noticed a bit of lag, but that was probably due to me recording with Vindictus (MMORPG) running in the background.

I was watching some Aiyi Trollbook videos and felt like revisiting Spellbooks. They're really versatile and are mucho fun.

The first duel was included in there to show what normally happens in a duel. And even then, it isn't what normally happens because you hardly draw into your Sacred Beasts. I wouldn't bet on getting that Armityle out. Your chances are 1 in 142 duels, give or take a few.

Tekashi and Gemini's replay blended together in the end there. Mainly my fault on the editing but also because I struggled to find enough room to fit all the replays in before text took over the entire screen. Sorry.
So. Not much to say. Other than the fact that the first deck was the MOST STUPID IDEA EVER. I got so incredibly lucky, words can't describe.
Most information can be found in the credits so I won't bother listing them. Too lazy. I'm just happy I managed to somehow include Crystal Beasts and Dewloren in the video. And I have to say, I believe I captured the Spellcard (get it??) names quite well. For further reference: http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Undefined_Fantastic_Object:_Stage_6_Spell_Cards
Erm. Had a bit of trouble thinking of things to stick into the end credits so if stuff seem not-worthy-of-mentioning, just know I had to think of 4:44 mins of white on black text. Note that one of the duels in the credits (against that Glad Beast player) was made by finalformsonic, not me. I just recorded it using my skins and textures.
Feel free to use it or something. You can even request a colour change. Not that I'll do it. Depends how I'm feeling on the day you ask and whether I can figure out how to do it. #photoshoppro
Also, please take a look at these guy's stuff, I wouldn't be here without their help c:
And, finally, new sleeves! I do love my Blue Exorcist.
May I point out that this has been my longest video since my Crystal Spectrum one, uploaded 4 months ago. Wow, time sure does fly. I'll be old and grey before I know it. I swear I'm going through some sort of quarter-life crisis.
As you may have noticed, the first three duels are different from the rest. I felt I should've included them. I may develop of the Zombie one and give it its own video. It really depends on you viewers. And yes, I did just stick Divine Wind into another deck that runs Wind monsters. Probably be wise to just make a Divine Wind montage and get those decks out of the way.
So. How do you feel? Another Dragon Ruler variant in your face. Well, to be honest the Rulers are more support than reliant in this deck. Oh Em Gee, Dragon Rulers that are actually acting as support?! What sort of miracle is this? Apparently a miracle caused by me. (For Touhou players: Byakuren strikes again for plagiarism on Sanae.)
Not really too much to say about the deck. It just spams a lot, really. Any reason why I didn't include the Heraldic field and themed Monster Reborn? I just think they're a bit meh. Yes, I just called Monster Reborn meh. There's not really anything too good you would want to bring back that doesn't somehow get itself back onto the field anyway. Most of the time, you would want to keep the stuff in the grave rather than stuck under an Xyz. Advanced Heraldry Arts is enough in this deck. As for the field, there are non-Heraldic/Psychic Xyz monsters that you want to spam. The restriction just simply isn't worth it in this deck.
And another miracle, I found a use for Berners Falcon!

But two videos in a day. I think I'm spoiling you but I guess it makes up for the long break I took. It also means that I now get to take the rest of the weekend off.
So. Just a deck abusing the same-name feature the Harpies have. Inferno Reckless summon has the downside of your opponent being able to do the same, but Hysteric Party has the downside of being a Trap so I suppose they're equal.
And have I been making too many Divine Wind decks? Maybe I'm becoming paranoid over the potential threat of the Field making it onto the banlist like in the OCG...
And has anyone noticed how I've purposely slowed down the deck showcase bit? I did it so I can have more piano music. I like my pianos.
Music: Demetori - 童祭 ~ Innocent Treasures 東方 [Piano] The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood 『4』[YGOPro] Scarlet FortressAlikaey2013-11-16 | I find these cards interesting.
So, the first duel I went into with this deck was the mirror match (ermegerd, spoilers). Coincidence? Pretty pro coincidence. Although, that should've told me that this deck wasn't so unique and that I should've scrapped it.
It's not anything too unique or explosive, just something to upload while I'm working on my big project. Yes, you read right, a big project. Currently in the process of building all the decks and that's all you're getting out of me.
On another note, I finally fixed my skin problem! Yay! Turns out all I had to do was resize everything to the power of 2.
Music: Demetori - 天狗が見ている ~ Eye of the Needles Demetori - 天空のグリニッジ ~ Deep P Sky 東方 [Piano] Lullaby of Deserted Hell 『4』[YGOPro] Sixth TwilightAlikaey2013-11-04 | Yeah, I uploaded something for who knows how long.
Just gonna throw it out there that Loki can add Sixth Sense back to your hand, even though I didn't manage it. So short on time to make videos... oh well, such is life.
Take a look at these channels for more stuff! And make sure you subscribe to them!
Music: 【東方】 monochrome-coat - oblivion[YGOPro] Neo Neo-SpaciansAlikaey2013-09-08 | I was running out of decks to play but then someone had the brilliant idea of making a Neo-Spacian deck. So here you go.
I had wanted Serpentine Princess to play a bigger role in the deck... hence the Compulsory Escape Device and such early in the video, but I cut it down to 1 since it returns to the deck anyway, and can be a bit of a dead draw.
A lot of draw cards. Upstart.. Convert Contact... Space Gift... That cuts the deck size down to how much? I don't even.
This is, by all means, not made to be competitive. So just keep that in mind...
Music: 彩音 ~xi-on~ - シンデレラケージ ~ Kagome-Kagome 彩音 ~xi-on~ - フォールオブフォール ~ 秋めく滝 久遠 (Kuon) - 2つのピアノの為の「夜桜と幽世の蝶」[YGOPro] Psychic FeathersAlikaey2013-08-19 | I was planning to make it a Noble Knight deck with Morale Boost. Heal like no tomorrow whilst having Black-Winged Dragon absorb the damage, but I couldn't effectively get out Synchros and/or have Morale Boost in my hand, so I went for a Psychic build instead. Noble Stream (Black-Winged Dragon's attack name) would've been a nice deck name.
Initial thoughts on the deck, it's alright. Takes away all the backfire damage from the cards making them practically costless to use, and what's better is that damage is inflicted on the enemy so it's like they're paying the price for your cards. Which is exactly the type of unfair gameplay I aim for in my troll decks. I wasn't able to use Graverobber though, lol.
Deck really relies on having a level 2 Tuner monster which is why Foolish Burial is there; it's not just there for Zephyros. As for Overdrive Teleporter... I wouldn't say it relies on him, but he does help set the field up early game.
As for the video, I messed up a few times. Especially on that set Jumper towards the end of the video. I wasn't planning to use that duel since the opponent was using... weird cards. I'm being a hypocrite. But Reverse Trap made it a funny duel. For me at least.
I got excited that I could use Black-Winged Dragon's effect and in my excitement misclicked, resulting in me not being able to use it. Serves me right, I suppose.
In the mirror match, I was thinking "Oh, crap" when I revealed Dark Hole with Psychic Nightmare's effect. But then Esper Girl added a Starlight Road to my hand. Though I didn't have a Stardust at the time.
Come to think of it, I only decided to make this deck because I was re-watching 5D's and they made Black-Winged Dragon look so cool, and give its effect a meaning. I like it when there are multiple meanings behind things.
Music: 東方 Touhou Metal/Rock 246 【東方 Arrange】Dullahan Under the Willows [3] 東方 [Piano] Last Remote 『2』[YGOPro] GigazektsAlikaey2013-08-12 | Gigaplant has not been more scary and Blazewing Butterfly too good.
Gave myself an entirely new look to fit with the intro. Card sleeves made by me, skin and texture made by ALu. I may as well mention that it was ALu that gave me this idea, also. He's such an amazing man, isn't he?
So yeah, it works like a normal Inzektor deck but with more swarming. Swing of Memories into Gigaplant can be enough to completely swarm the field with monsters. In other words, it's possible to gain a full field of monsters every single turn whilst cleaning off your opponent's.
Set up is easy enough. Gigaplant and Hornet in grave is enough and that can be achieved with Summoner Monk alone, as demonstrated in the video.
I've said a lot of good things about it, but it's a difficult deck to play. Very fragile...
Music: Touhou Metal/Techno 266 [Touhou]-Kanako's Theme: Suwa Foughten Field ~ 3ºRemix 東方 [Piano] Faith is for the Transient People『4』 【Autumn #2】[YGOPro] Divine CrystalsAlikaey2013-07-21 | Ya, this deck now has its own video. Since it was popular and all that whatnotshenanigans.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any replays against meta decks. Against Rulers, Chidori just bounces their Draco and Big Eye. Evilswarm don't stand a chance because, again, Chidori. Spellbooks is fun, you can negate their stuff with Ancient City and come back turn after turn, like in the Fire Fist game. I will top an event with this deck one day. Just you watch. Or maybe someone will netdeck me and top with it, either's fine. I just want CBs to top.
It was easy enough to get wins for this since the opponent just didn't know how to deal with the deck. I also got into a few funny duels where the opponent was literally fuming at the fact they were losing to CBs. Who can blame them? We all know CBs are tier 0.
Main deck, I wanted to have 3 Ancient Cities but couldn't find the room for it so meh. Also, every card has its purpose in the deck, I thought it through very well...
Extra, I originally had 3 Ancient Fairy Dragons but took one out in favour of Black Rose. I also replaced Wind-Up Zenmaines for Fortune Tune since I have an obsession with Fortune Tune now. Extra Deck, y u no more room?
Actually, I lie, you can remove Dewloren and Emerald as they aren't of too much use. Dewloren maybe but he's a bit troublesome to get out. I just like the kitty.
So for the side deck, in case you were wondering, I decided to make it an offensive sidedeck. That means I completely change the deck's tactics in hopes that what my opponent sides in will be useless. Example: changing Dark Worlds into Fabled so if the opponent sides in Shadow-Imp Mirror, it will be dead.
Fun Fact: The last duel against the Gravekeeper deck was actually a replay I saved from testing someone that wanted to join my team on DevPro. Pretty cruel of me.
Err... not much to really say about this video. This is a video response to my first CB video montage so check that one out if you haven't already.
And since I haven't done one of these yet: YGOpro Touhou Duelist's Circle:
Music: Romantic Children Arrangement Sound Sepher - Alice in Wonderland 東方 [Piano] Ultimate Truth 『2』[YGOPro] Pieces EverywhereAlikaey2013-07-07 | Quick video of a random deck idea. And it worked! Lol!
I actually saved this replay before I moved onto my Zombie Ladies video. It was actually this duel that gave me the idea of making another Fortune Lady deck. Meh.
The title of this video also sucks. I couldn't think of anything else.
Music: Touhou Gensou Shiten 9 ''Joker'' - Naki Oujo no Tame no Septette[YGOPro] Zombie LadiesAlikaey2013-07-06 | I noticed that, for some reason, my Fortune Lady video I uploaded was really popular. Seriously, why is that? Why that specific video ._.? Also, new textures! Since I'm Byakuren now. Sorry for the indecisiveness.
Here's the card cover for those who want it, I made it myself 8D (with some advice from Alu). It has my name on it though, so feel free to use it if you don't mind that watermark: http://alikaey.deviantart.com/art/Byakuren-Final-383424781
You can find the background on Google by Google'ing "Byakuren Hijiri"
Anyway, seeing as the video was popular, I decided to do a video of Fortune Ladies again. Normal Fortune Ladies, however, are too boring for me so, to also celebrate the coming of the new Vampire archetype, I've made Zombie Ladies! Yay! (Applause)
It relies a lot on Zombie World... you don't have it, and you can't make as many plays. You can still make some plays, just not many. The main idea is to use cards like Il Blud and Zombie Master to spam out Water for draws and whatnot. Surprisingly, it doesn't rely too much on Light... or Dark. I suppose they're just there for BLS and Chaos Sorc. Plus, it's fun to abuse Skull Lair with Light.
I've also discovered that Zombie World makes a good Dragon Ruler/Spellbook repellent as it turns everything into Zombies: -D-Rulers will only be able to banish cards of a corresponding attribute and from their hand, and they won't be able to Tribute Summon. -Spellbooks will not be able to use Fate/Master/Power/Wisdom/Life/Miracles and Star Hall to an extent. They have Tower though, so unless you have Field Barrier... :L.
Music: Emotional Skyscraper Liberated White Lotus Emotional Skyscraper Cosmic Mind (Piano)[YGOPro] Man Unworthy of RaAlikaey2013-06-28 | Yay! 100 Subscribers! You guys are awesome. So here's a video. Not as awesome. But still good. I think. Maybe. I don't know. You decide. Too many periods. Dot.
I decided I would use the Worm Zero draw loop this time. I had planned to for a while but never got around to doing it, but it's also because I absolutely hate this loop. So much clicking...
So yeah, 299,900 points of burn damage in 1 strike. I think that's pretty good. I also think it captured the anime theme of Egyptian god cards especially well too, such as when Judai (Jaden) faces Ra. "Those unworthy of the God's power shall fall" and whatnot. I guess this rule applies if the God is given away as a gift, as shown in this video.
Fun fact: The 6 Worm monsters I used are the initials of people I know.
