Reminder to Data Junkie, you have until the 15th to respond to Storme Hawk's challenge or you will be disqualified. -

...time for our teams to meet on the proving grounds. I will be good to go anytime after 7pm EST starting from tomorrow onwards. I'll keep you posted if there are any delays.
So good luck and have fun in advance. At least we'll be seeing some Ground types in the finals-- our legacy will live on! -

Hmmm 7pm EST is rather late for me, but I should be able to do any time between 7pm and 9pm EST on Tuesday or Wednesday whichever is best for you.
Hey, if we both play our cards right we could end up meeting again in the finals. Good luck and have fun as well, let's make it a semi-final to remember. -

I think I've got to get my game on to win this one.
It's been ages since I last played Yu-Gi-Oh, (used to watch the first two series quite a bit in my childhood) think I've still got a couple of decks lying around somewhere at home, wonder if they're any good compared to the stuff being used now? -
The short answer? by
on 2016-04-18 18:26:00 UTC
Reply
Where was it... ah, yes. Nope.avi
Long answer: Yu-Gi-Oh! is basically Power Creep: the Game. If you're running a GX-era (or, gods forbid, original series-era) deck, chances are you'll get OTKed left, right and centre. You know the bit about Summoning a bunch of monsters in one turn? It's pretty much a foregone conclusion these days. -
Huh... by
on 2016-04-18 18:41:00 UTC
Reply
Although from the looks of it at least Relinquished is still decent (yeah, almost all my cards are from the original series-era). I think my Beast deck would be the only one that could stand any sort of chance (it can severly limit what you can put on the field quite easily, and then easily destroy what you can put on the field), although seeing as no-one I know plays Yu-Gi-Oh I doubt I'll ever have a chance to find out.
Still, it makes me feel quite old with all this new stuff now out. -
If I remember right... by

There is an online site for playing, with a database including many, if not most, of the published cards, if you really want to find it out.

Without the artwork, they can expect a serious drop in popularity.

My deck is based upon the World of the Zombies structure deck, but here again, my brothers got te lion's share of cards. One of them combined Spellcaster's Judgement and Spellcaster's Command for a super Spellcaster deck. I still got a decent Lightsworn deck, but it still remain far from perfection. In the past I even had a VWXYZ deck, complete with all the fusions possible, But it's buried with other stuff now.
Speaking of Gearfried, what do you think of its Swordmaster version? -

I don't think I ever honestly thought I'd get a trophy either. But now that I've got here I'd like to get as high as possible, but if I lose I lose and that's the way the dice were rolled.

I'd slipped back into thinking that your slot in the loser's bracket was determined by what battle you lost, not by when you lost it. (Does... does this mean that if the tournament had gone fast enough, someone could have lost their first battle and jumped straight to the finals? It does, doesn't it?)

You responded that Wednesdays from 7pm your time was best, I waited for two to three hours on last Wednesday and I didn't see you, and I've said about doing it this Wednesday instead, neither time have you replied. I'm sorry I haven't been on the last couple of nights but I've been spending them with some friends who I haven't seen for a few months and probably won't see again for a month or two. If you give me a date and a time then I will try my utmost to be on then.

Odd. I got on around 7 pm my time, and waited for several hours as well, and not only did I not see an "ihavenoinsurace", the people in the writing and tournament channels said you'd been in but left earlier, so maybe our timing was off.
