Allies In The Dark


Short post today. Don’t really have much time to do anything except work. Return of the Duelist is going to be release this coming Saturday and here are a few cards that are worth your time. I still stand by my words that this set isn’t a good investment. Don’t buy a box unless you’re planning to play Spell-casters or basically for collection purpose. Here are a few cards you might want to look out for:

Soul Drain

We all know Skill Drain. This is his brother. One of the best cards in this set in my opinion. Given that, Dark World won YCS Long Beach I’m pretty sure a lot of people will be back into putting their hopes in that deck making it a legitimate Tier 1.5 threat. Soul Drain out stops ‘em hard.Same goes for Hieroglyphs when dealing with Soul Drain. It can be situational sometimes but its worth a shot. Soul Drain also looks pretty promising in an Inzektors deck. Shit happens.

Hand Requital

This is in my list because its one of the two possible threats against Inzektors in this set. Very sub-par, generic stuff like Compulsory Evacuation Device or Skill Drain works better against Inzektors. However, there is something with this card that is bothering me. I can seem to figure out why right now. The closes this card can go against Inzektors is to act as multiple Book of Moons.

Silver Sniper

Cool rifle, your argument is invalid! The second card against Inzektors in this set. They pop you pop them back and maybe plus at the same time. It forces your opponent in a couple of ways, limits plays. Very situational and a waste of deck or side space but very promising at the same time. His rifle is still awesome regardless of what’s his worth in the game.

OOPArts Crystal Alien

I’ve mentioned this card before. It’s a very good generic Rank 3 Exceed and another boost for Inzektors which is annoying. There are so many ways you can play with this card. Stall, burn and it gets around Wind-Up Zenmaines pretty damn well. Grab it before it’s price go crazy.

Heroic Champion Excalibur

No need for words when it comes to Excalibur. In both Hero Beat and Six Sams, this guy is a potential OTK card by itself. Instant Miracle Fusion as soon as you use his effect in Hero Beat, can be a stall beater and funny enough you can play Honest with this guy. Too good.

Number 33: OOPArts Super Weapon-Machu Mach

Again, good addition to generic Rank 5 Exceeds. Free burn and free boost is always good. Too bad Machu Mach falls short in the face of other Rank 5 Exceeds like Tiras, Volcasaurus and the coming Adreus. Beware of CyDra and Photon Streak Bouncer when playing this card. It’s still worth your money all and all. Indirect boost for Hieroglyphs which is good. This card would have been broken if it had the ability to avoid destruction.

Alright guys this is all for today. I'll be looking for ways to play Super Dimensional Robo Galaxy Destroyer for the trolls and if you happen to play me in locals or DN, i'm very sorry.
