EARTH/Machine - Effect/2/800/400
This card cannot be Special Summoned. You can activate this effect during the Main Phase 1 of the turn this card was successfully Normal Summoned. Draw 2 cards from your Deck, and skip to the End Phase of this turn. During the turn you activate this effect, you cannot Special Summon monster.
I dun know about you, but I think the design of this card is ridiculously bad. They failed to cover many loopholes with it IMO, it is like Exodia decks or even Chain Burn decks can now drop their Reckless Greeds, not that Exodia decks played Reckless Greed, I think. Not so playable in Final Countdown as the Zero Gardna typically took the slot of the only mob you'll wan to Normal Summon.
The good parts though is that it is not totally splashable. HOWEVER, being effectively a Pot of Greed during a top deck war some decks may want to tech in 1. Particularly decks that throw out 1 for 1 exchanges. This will be quite useful when both players are left with nothing.
Which is stupid.
This card is like the best top deck warrior in those both players naked scenarios.
AND it works with Pot.
Can't say much about it yet, but it could potentially end up to be the next Battlefader. A card that has an extremely powerful splashable effect that will just end up being a splashed tech.
EDIT: Maybe can be splashed into Karakuri, it's EARTH, and a Machine and can prevent those crazy Attack Position Komachi from killing themselves. Sadly, it cannot be used as Komachi's second summon.

Ranking results are FUCKED!
Ok so here's the math,
I had 10 points,
After which my first tourney at JCube I beat Ash, Wesley, Shaun Lin and Poh Seng and I know that Ash and Wesley were both Rank A then, Poh Seng Rank C. So assuming lowest possible gain I got 9 points here. Though I don't even think Shaun Lin was a D.
19 points.
Next I played at Clementi, scrubbed first round to YingJun. -7
12 points
Next at Yew Tee, won Sean, who is now at A so he should have been hovering around B or C then, assume C, then lost to a borrowed ID, assume -7.
8 points
Next I lost to YingJun again, and assuming he's still a D, and I'm still an A, -7
1 point
I don't see how it adds up to -4. I assume worse case scenario for everything.

March Banlist Prediction v2.0
After another 2 weeks in the meta, we enter the last 2 weeks till we get the spoiler list, which isn't really a spoiler cos I think Konami actually wants the players to get the list earlier. Anyway, I think some things on my previous list need to be addressed.
Forbidden
Monster Reborn
Future Fusion
Limited
Inzecter Hornet
Mainspring Rat
Magician of Faith
Royal Oppression
The Agent of Creation - Venus
Ultimate Offering
Dragged Down into the Grave
Archlord Kristya
Rekindling
Semi-Limited
BF - Kalut the Moon Shadow
Book of Moon
MST
Rescue Rabbit
Compulsory Evacuation Device
Unlimited
Magical Stone Excavation
I didn't ban anything different, Foolish Burial is limited for a reason so there is no reason why we should have a 5 time Foolish Burial in one activation. And it's time for Monster Reborn to go.
Limited cards, I guess they really do want to hit Inzecters now, the more I think about it why not? Hand D loop must be nerfed, Rat to 1 doesn't kill it but nerfs it significantly. Magician of Faith, slow. Oppression necessary as they are likely to keep Hyperion, BLS and Grapha in the game. Now for the Agent hit, I guess Venus has to be the one instead of Striker, which would be unfair to TG decks. Ultimate Offering is still stupid good, and Dragged Down has to be the one if they don't touch Grapha which they probably won't. Laval winning in a format dominated by Inzecter means they have some unchecked imba and that is Rekindling. Kristya, nuff said.
Kalut and Book of Moon, give BF some
support, Book of Moon probably not to 3 I guess. MST at 3 was dumb, you could say who really plays 3, but the idea of having 3 in the sideboard anyway was stupid. Everyone wants Rabbit hit and I really don't getit. Ragia is te imba one. NOW, Compulse, I believe TCG should hav the priority ruling by this list, if they don't it won't happen. But Compulse is as good as Bottomless now. And it's harder to negate.
Magical Stone Excavation.
WTF?
I didn't hit Dandy cos here in OCG it really isn't doing much, you can talk about Cat but Cat was still a played deck then, so is Junkdo ok now I'm contradicting myself. Basically, the reasons "Plants" last so long is cos of TCG exclusives, whereas here in OCG land only skilled players win with Junkdo. It is a skill based deck, auto pilot yes, but you must know how to turn on the auto pilot. OCG players' Junkdo tend to be able to adapt to anything, but playing Tengus and Tour Guides in Plants adds a whole lot of other variables ie, drawing Sangan or Tengus, more liable to field lock. Ok, I hav no idea what I'm talking about, jus that I'm pretty sure Brionac will get banned before Dandy.
As for those who disagree with Magician of Faith to 1, please nuke me twice. Konami reprinted Starlight Road AGAIN. So unless you telling me Heavy Storm or Dark Hole is going to 2....... Hint hint.
For TCG readers, Tengu deserves to get hit as does Tour Guide, and I agree waiting till next March is silly. So IMO, they'll just push EXP5 forward like they did ORCS. Just enough to hit them in Sept, hopefully. Anyway if those two get hit now, it'll be good for the game.

Happy CNY!! And a question for all
"CNY and I wear new clothes but no money to buy new protectors so my cards no new clothes >< so sad." is something KFC would translate in his language to Happy CNY.
Hopefully with this new year, he either shuts up or keeps his crap to himself.
Anyway, after watching Amos Yee become famous I wanna be famous too!
No not in that way, we've had some feedback before and we have been considering the prospect of doing duel vids and deck reviews, with a twist.
We actually intend to do some troll vids in conjuction with our actual games and all, so just asking for some opinions, if it is a good idea or will we get flamed really bad LOL.
It make take quite awhile though cos we're dumb and dunno how to upload stuff onto YouTube, or edit vids or anything, what's more with school I have less time to figure it out.
Just tell us what you guys think about the idea of duel vids. Both serious and troll ones.

Effect unconfirmed: During your Main Phase 1, you can activate this effect by removing 1 Xyz Material from this card and selecting 1 Special Summoned Monster your opponent controls. Destroy the selected monster. If the destroyed monster was an Xyz Monster, inflict Damage to your opponent's Life Points equal to the original ATK of that monster. This effect can be used up to twice per turn.
As if the previous unconfirmed effect wasn't already gay. This is downright imba, Dark World gonna be Tier 1.

Puppet Plant vs Kinetic Soldier
Now Bubbleman Beat is considered imba, LOL, people will start siding against HERO again. So when we think of HERO, what else do we think of other than ofc, Snowman Eater?
We think of anti Warrior bullshit! The two most famous anti Warrior bullshit are Kinetic Soldier and Puppet Plant so let's do a comparision.
Kinetic Soldier
Pros:
-Defensive card
-Forces the Spark or the Super Poly
-Lvl 3 (all Lvl 3s are imba)
-Extremely disruptive in the early game
Cons:
-Machine
-Dies to counter pumped Breaker
-Can be HERO Blast-ed
Puppet Plant
Pros:
-Take opponent's Blade Heart to OTK
-Forces the Spark
-Can take control of Breaker
-Can't be HERO Blast-ed (usually)
-Lvl 3
Cons:
-May not dodge the Super Poly
-Effectively a -1 at end turn
-May be ineffective due to HERO's low mob counts
My personal preference is Puppet Plant cos Brain Control is banned for a reason xP, the only real concern is Super Poly or Compulse. I find Kinetic Soldier leaving your opponent being able to control the outcome, but with Puppet Plant, you could possibly end the game that turn.
And I found this:
No. 15 Gimmick Puppet - Giant Killer 「Ｎｏ．１５ ギミック・パペット－ジャイアントキラー」
(???)/(???) - Xyz - Effect/Rank 8/1500/2500
2x Level 8 Monster
Effect unconfirmed: Activate by removing 1 Xyz Material from this card. Destroy all Xyz Monster your opponent controls, and inflict Damage to your opponent equal to their total ATK.
Yaaaay, Grapha too imba already. Come out Acid Golem, lose the game. Also it doesn't say once per turn, so could get rid of Zenmaines if you have something to run over it. And your opponent will take 3000k AND you'll have 2 Grapha in the grave. You could get over Gachi too but what's the point?
I know it's unconfirmed people, just saying.
