I think I'd prefer to wait in some cases until my opponent declared an attack. THEN I'd Tailor the Axe. Since the monster numbers didn't change, the attack must go through and chances are good your opponent's monster just got an even harder whooping then they first thought.

True enough.

I mean, they'll equip Swordsmaster with a weapons and you'll use it against him.

And don't forget, there's also a little trap with a Fiend on the picture called "Reverse Trap" who will weaken Swordsmaster for each equip card attached to him.

Wait a minute!!!!

LOL!!! I was just looking through my commons for Reverse Trap and Look at what I found:

Goblin Caligrapher
DARK/Fiend/1/400/400
A Goblin who devotes himself to mastering perfect calligraphy of the word "False". He gives his all to each stroke.

Now look at the picture for Fake Trap.


LOL!!!!!

Night Assailant is 2 per deck. Great Job on abusing it people. It seems enough feathers were ruffled!!!! LOL!!! Seriously though, I'm very disappointed. With all of those discard effects, Ngiht Assailants could've become out new "Ninja Spies". 3 of each in every deck feeding us information.

Sangan, United, Graceful, Duo and Mirror Force are back.

We also came up with Good Goblin House Keeping + Emergency Provisions combo and it was cut to 2 per deck.

LOL!!!

Everyone welcome back Sangan. We missed you, cuddly little buddy.

HAHA Chaos /Warrior decks are going to have to find some other light card, looooosers :) and the little man is back, I think they realised some kind of universal searcher was needed

LOL!!!!


I can’t say I’m not disappointed about losing the third Night Assailant. All of those discarding effect in this set and Lost Millenium are really lovely, but I guess we DO still have Serpent.


Sixth Sense, I believe is “Dangerous Machine”, which was discussed a liitle bit back. Need the text? Let me know.

With 1 D.D. per deck, expect to see more D.D. Assailants and a much slower Chaos Deck.


Marshmallon – if it’s attacked while face-down and flipped face-up due to battle, inflict 1000 points of damage to your opponent’s LP. He can’t be destroyed in battle.

Exchange of Spirits = Reversal of World that Ishizu used. Remember? If you have 15 or more cards in your graveyard, pay 1000LP and both players exchange their Graveyard with their Decks.

Chick the Yellow had that OTK with Makyura. I don’t why he’s semi restricted now though?

V-Lord had to be Semi Restricted to help boost the playability of Genesis.

Good Goblin House Keeping = Goblin Management Unit. The 12 card draw combo we made in this thread and the Lair seems to have upset SOMEONE somewhere.

And we lose Painful Choice, but it’s nothing that 3 Giant Germs can’t fix.




Waldo10032 – The Fiendish Duelist says
"What does not belong? A drum, an egg, or a Fiend Deck?
Well, you can beat a drum. You can beat an egg, but you can't beat a Fiend Deck."

ok the n new ban list is exciting and i am pretty happy with it over all. Now quick question for everyone, how many of you are going to the preview event this weekend? and what are you thinking are going to be the popular comon cards ppl will be looking for building a deck?

What combo was that, sorry I can't be bothered to look back over the entire thread :cheeky: . I think other decks (including one of my friends' out of play deck) will suffer a lot more from the loss of Painful Choice than we will.

was thinking with the loss of painful choice ppl are going to actually draw their jinzo and sac to get him out instaed of the the old painful it away and bring back :laugh: This makes me happy since my current archfiend deck is almost not effect at all it just loses CoH if i remeber right but not a big deal i have 3 Falling Downs and with Brain Jacker its all good ;)

UDE and Konami obviously want chaos to stay a factor in this game, however they have greatly decreased some of it's strengths by banning Painful Choice, Chaos Emperor Dragon, and Witch of the Black Forest. However, they do get a bonus this season from Graceful Charity and Sangan being thrown onto the restricted list...but a lot of other deck profit off of that, so no one should be complaining. I do not know why the hell they restricted Delinquent Duo and Mirror Force. These cards are some of the few that provoked a ban list. Banning Change of Heart and Confiscation was just really stupid. These cards are no where near being broken. However, I totally agree with Magical Scientist and The Forceful Sentry. The Forceful Sentry was just way too good. And Magical Scientist can wipe away an entire field with just a few thousand life points. Banning Magical Scientist was also a good idea since they brought back Graceful Charity, which helps First Turn Kill Scientist decks greatly. (But Painful Choice helps even more) Semi-Restricting Night Asailant was a pretty good idea...3 Night Asailants in a Night Asailant abuse deck is extremely powerful. And semi-restricting Vampire Lord was just awesome. ^_^ Semi-Restricting Level Limit Area B and Gravity Bind was extremely stupid...how are these in any way overpowerful in threes? But, yea...they just left the best stall card in the wide open: Messenger of Peace.

Well anyway, this ban list wont change our decks that much...but it will provoke some creativity. Control decks lost a lot from this one, but also gained Delinquent Duo...so, we will just have to wait and see.

I am kind of disapointed about Scientist...because it was one of my favorite monsters. But hell...D Duo is back! I loved this card too...hmmm maybe it's time to revive the old Zombie morphosis??? I mean what will Chaos use in place of the 2 ddwl??? Uh, DD Assailant? What will they use if they already run 3? uh...seachers? Yay! I will be the only one with a Fusion deck...and more than half of my oppenents monsters can be negated by Dark Balter the Terrible. hehehe But then again...Ill have to make up from my own loses from last Ban list...Torrential Tribute? And this time Magical Scientist and Mirage of Nightmare.

Isn't |DD Assailant earth though making it much less useful in a chaos eck since if you decide not to remove it, you can't use it for BLS food

Not quite...

VB6-003
Sixth Sense
Trap - Normal
Announce two numbers between 1 to 6. Your opponent then rolls a dice once. If the
result is equal to either one of the announced numbers, draw the same number of
cards equal to the result from your deck. If not, discard the same number of cards
equal to the result from the top of your deck to your Graveyard.

VB6-002
Dangerous Machine Type-6
Magic - Continuous
Roll a dice once during each of your Standby Phases. Activate the following effects
according to the result.
1. Discard 1 card from your hand.
2. Your opponent must discard 1 card from his/her hand.
3. Draw 1 card from your Deck.
4. Your opponent must draw 1 card from his/her Deck.
5. Destroy 1 of your opponent's monsters on the field.
6. Destroy this card.

Translations from DMComet.

Hmm, Sangan is back... too bad it turns out DD Scout Plane is level 2, or we'd be having fun with Puppet Magic again. T_T

hm, your right...well that just confirms that Shining Angel will be run in place of DDWL...

Athgar

The deck that pulls thye most Beast or 1 Lighting Vortex will most likely win. Maybe Insect (Beetle) Knight as the 1900ATK beast stick.

Silent Swordsman Lv5 as a tribute monster almost guarantees the win.

Shadowslayer was just made SO broken too! Unlike the Drillago and Black Tyranno ruling of needing just 1 S/T card on the field to make his effect invalid, Shadowslayer, like the Fiend he is, doesn’t care if you have FIVE S/T cards on the field. He only counts the Monster Zones. All defense position monster? He attacks directly. And with only 4000LP, Swords of Concealing Darkness + Shadowslayer = instant kill.


Archon

GOOD GOBLIN HOUSEKEEPING
[Trap Card]
Draw a number of cards from your Deck equal to the number of "Good Goblin Housekeeping" cards in your Graveyard ＋1, select 1 card from your hand, and return it to the bottom of your Deck.

Activate:
Chain Link 1: Good Goblin House Keeping #1
Chain Link 2: Good Goblin House Keeping #2
Chain Link 3: Good Goblin House Keeping #3
Chain Link 4: Emergency Provisions (send all three GGHK to the Graveyard)

Resolves:
Chain Link 4: You heal for 3000
Chain Link 3: Good Goblin House Keeping #3 (draw 4 cards and place 1 to the bottom of your deck)
Chain Link 2: Good Goblin House Keeping #2 (draw 4 cards and place 1 to the bottom of your deck)
Chain Link 1: Good Goblin House Keeping #1 (draw 4 cards and place 1 to the bottom of your deck)


By the way guys, try this in your REGULAR deck:

Activate Swords of Concealing Darkness, Go on with your turn. You opponent’s turn goes as normal. During your turn, set Solomon’s Lawbook. Your opponent’s Turn goes on as normal. During your Draw Phase, activate Solomon’s Lawbook. You skip your Standby Phase, Swords remains on the field forever and your opponent is officially screwed!

To make up for the loss of Scientist, I’ll run a second Summoner of Illusions and a third copy of IMT. And:

THE DARK – HEX-SEALED FUSION
Dark/Rock/3/1000/1600
You can substitute this card for any 1 Fusion-Material Monster. When you do this, the other Fusion-Material Monster(s) must be the correct one(s). Tribute Fusion-Material Monsters on the field, including this card, to Special Summon 1 DARK Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck.

And Possessed Dark Soul!

"What does not belong? A drum, an egg, or a Fiend Deck?
Well, you can beat a drum. You can beat an egg, but you can't beat a Fiend Deck."

What! Why that over Versago, Waldo? Versago would give you more fiends for necrofear.
