Err...I remember that I used to play "Spades" alot in highschool when I played football. I played with the other players and we would normally remove all the 2's.

Do you know that one?

Not really. When I say card games, I meant of the collectible variety.

Aw man....Yu-Gi-Oh...not that brings back so many memories...

I remember when it first got popular and everyone was so obssesed with it.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

Yeah, but its far more diversive and sophisticated now. They have new whited colored cards called Synchro monsters. Its like a cross between fusion and ritual monsters, but instead of using ritual spells, you have to have a tuner and a total number of monsters whose level equals the synchro monster's.

Wha? Dude I remember when I thought the whole "Anything above 4 stars needs a sacrifice, and anything above 6 or 7 needs two" was a pain. I do remember making a deck that specifcally was for sacrificing though...

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

Yeah, I lost interest after the second "season". And yes, I watched the show. I mainly had a dragon deck. They had their moments. I remember one match I played at a tourney I managed to get two Blue-eyes Ultimates out, Armed Dragon LV 7 and Slifer the Sky Dragon. Man did that guy get anihalated.

It is if you compare it to the starting point of the entire game.

-Effect monsters were few and far between.
-Fusion monsters were nearly useless.
-Ritual monsters had some decent cards, but were rarely used.

Pretty much the only thing you could judge a deck by were its traps and spells.

Now:

-Effect monsters are abundant
-Ritual monsters are still rarely used.
-Fusion monsters are everywhere.
-Synchro and tuner monsters were added.
-Union monsters added.
-Abundances of spells and traps had been added.

I run a Six Samurai Deck now. Basically I use them to swarm the field and destroy my opponents support cards before my opponent can respond.

I'm collecting Blackwing cards right now as a pet project.

Haha jk jk.

Dragons have nothing on my so far nearly undefeated Six Samurai. What they lack in overall power, they make up with sheer tenacity, field swarming, and instant destruction power.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 30 Sep 2009 Posts: 9138

i dont no really iv'e gone up againt six samurai decks before and destroyed them eaisly but thats because i use three limter removals that double the power od=f machine monsters

then i use powerbond to double the power odf my cyber dragon and not only that i use a lot of heavy storms to clear the feild of any trap cards so if i play my cards right im unstopable

They probably don't use or have the correct cards then and here is why.

Great Shogun Shien= Only one spell or trap can be used per turn.
Enishi- Shien's Councellor= Instantly destroy one monster per turn at the cost of not attacking.
Gateway of the Six= Helps me summon monsters faster as well as bringing cards from the deck.
Grandmaster of the Six Samurai= Allows me to special summon if another is on the field.
Nisashi=Attacks twice in one battle face.
Irou=Instantly destroy face down monsters.
Yaichi=Destroys any face down spell/trap.
Zanji=Destroys any monster that is attacked by this card.
Kamon=Destroys any face up spell/trap.
Mirror Force
Magic Cylinder
Draining Shield defensive traps
and many more.

((I used to play Magic the Gathering and Legend of the Five Rings... and, for a bit, I used to play Jyhad too, much to my own chagrin.))

I just wished college allowed me more time to play, I got to read 300 pgs about John Winthrop in 2 weeks, Its boring, plus the guy had sick visions of getting it on with Jesus. That is wrong on so many levels.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

The reason I play now because many of the guys over at the college's rec center play the game, and it got me back in for the time being.
