Decided to clean up the blog today, no point delaying it anyway.
As for the whole 10/12/11 fiasco, as well as comments that I did not do my duty as a judge, I admit that I blew my top that day and that was unprofessional and led all that bad jazz on the morning of 11/12/11 which led me to piss alot of people off and so I'm here to apologise for all that.
Anyway, I hope that we can put the past behind us and just get on with the YGO.
On with the report:
Number of participants: 25
Deck used: Junk Doppel
Everytime I plan to bring Sams someone will tempt with with Doppel, wanna borrow my Doppel deck? -.-
Round 1 - vs Sean from my team (Machina Gadget) OXO
Game 1 - Farmed and won with the big push
Game 2 - First turn kena Banisher, I kum bird bird
Game 3 - Actually had a shitty first hand that then Mind Crush him saw DP, 2 Compulse and SOLEMN WTF. He only set one Compulse which I MST and then next turn I Librarian Formula but advantage was essentially a 0 plus I drew a Spore __. He mistake set all his backrow so I EP Black Rose, and won from there.
Round 2 - vs Dennis (Chain Burn) XOX
Game 1 - Actually had control, just not enough life.
Game 2 - I he did all his Chaining stuff so I blind Crush-ed so that Secret Barrel will burn less and hit 2 FADERS YEAAAAA, then he GL judge when judge tell him when a Chain Link resolve the card will go grave straight. If I were the judge straight away warning.
Game 3 - Already in time, so I went to push for the final damage on my last BP he drop a Swift Scarecrow after having already burned me 1200.
That guy ended up winning but TBH he pissed alot of people off and questioning the judge with a "Where did you get that from?" was totally WTF, those watching the final were all rather ... and cos he literally continues to think for hours on the end even when his fate is sealed. His final manuveour to win took TEN BLOODY MINUTES and some people were already throwing sarcasm at him already after seeing his hand almost everyone knew he win already. Not me, but I could tell where everyone's anger came from.
LAN with Pohseng, Yingjun, Sebas, Cavin, Junyi and their friend and we still talking about that guy, cos since he delayed our LAN Pohseng and Yingjun could only join us for an hour. Good to touch DotA after such a long hiatus.
Maybe going down to Clementi tmr but unlikely to make it on time to join as I have personal matters hopefully can play a few games and good luck to all playing tmr.

Gold Series 2012
Everyone's talking about.
Zenmaines reprint here? Considering it's been out in TCG for like a month? Looks that way, it has a Japanese name and translated name that makes sense.
This is the biggest FUCK YOU from Konami to the TCG since they reprinted Starlight Road in Yusei Pack.
And we thought they would just do the predictable with the BLS and the Pot.
Judging from the list that's out already,
it appears one of the two is gonna be common, cos Zenmaines is pretty much fixed to be NR. My guess is Pot.
As usual, they release all the good jazz now and you wait on day of release crap like Junk Gardna get reprinted here instead of Boo Koo.
Please Konami, reprint the almighty Boo Koo!!

Clementi Tourney Report (11/12/11)
After another bout of flame wars and bad jazz, I was pretty much obliged to join today's tourney if not sure kena label as humjikia :(
Big thanks to Johann for buying my Illumiknight if not I no cash pay entry fee :)
On to the report:
Deck used: Junk Doppel built in 10 minutes
Number of participants: 22
Round 1 - vs Yew Long (HERO Beat) XOO
Game 1 - He open with Raiou and two backrow, I ate alot of damage early on due to that Raiou and was left with 1300. He made a Roach which I Mind Control-ed so I only had the Raiou negate to worry about. Can't remember how but I managed to lure out the Raiou negate and jump my DAD. He next turn just Dark Hole, Miracle GG.
Game 2 - I milled my Heavy Storm early on and he next turn immediately set 4 backrow. Failed to do initial damage but forced the Judgement with my Pot of Avarice. He forgot about the Veiler he saw with Dustshoot and E-Called an Airman which I Veilered and failed to draw into monsters as I slowly caught up in field presence.
Game 3 - I threw a Debris and CotH to Trishula him, getting rid of 1 HERO in grave and on field. The epic part was when I hit the Dark Hole in hand. He lost and revealed a hand of tri-Miracles.
Round 2 - vs Ying Jun (T.G Agent Angel) OXO
Game 1 - I was clearly ahead in card advantage when he Pot a BLS. Luckily next turn I top drew BTH, and he had no answer for it.
Game 2 - He was clearly ahead in card advantage as he played rather agressively after Dustshooting me. I tried defending with a Spore but it was futile.
Game 3 - I can't exactly remember what happened but, he end board had a Shine Ball and I Black Rose then no blow turn him to attack and apparently he had nothing.
I drew Maxx "C" on all his Venus :) but he forever stop at first ball ZZZ.
Round 3 - vs Xiao Mei (Rabbit Ragia) OXO
Game 1 - Her first Guaiba tio Ryko then she come out the second one, next turn I Junk pull Mind Control Trishula and controlled for a few turns then she have Dark Hole AND Heavy Storm and I left to top decking but heng heng top deck a Sorceror.
Game 2 - She just took early control amd when I defending late game she had a Dolkka, which negated my Tomato twice :( Lost soon after cos a Ragia appeared after that.
Game 3 - It hit a point where the Raiou on the field and I had 3 DARK and LIGHT targets. Chaos Sorceror and DAD in hand. I jump Sorceror try forced negate but she didn't fall for it and Veiler me. No choice but to Card Trooper suicide ram and it milled another DARK for me so I just jump for fear she kill my Sorceror next turn, her Rabbit attempt tio BTH and she scrub.
Round 4 - vs Johann (T.G Agent Angel)
XOX
We play w/o side cos both of us 3 wins so confirm up just decide who will kena the FULL WIN CURSE
Game 1 - Can't remember
Game 2 - Cheating hand on first turn allows me to Librarian Formula, I generated way too much advantage and he couldn't keep up.
Game 3 - This one quite funny the last part, he had 3 Angel in grave, Gachi with 2 Ball and Venus on field. I decided not to hit which was DAMN DUMB, cos next turn he just double sack for........ you guessed it.... KRISTYA (BITCH ANGEL)!!
Score : 3-1
Swiss placing: 3rd
Proceed to Top 8
Top 8 - vs Sam (Mainspring Inzecter) XOX
Game 1 - Didn't know what deck he playing so first turn Set Ryko, it kena Damsel Hornet, lost too much advantage from there summore he come out 1 Zenmighty and the following turn another 2. He gamed me when he hit my Card Trooper with an Acid Golem, totally forgot about that possibility.
Game 2 - He left Centibeet and 1 hand card after he PWWB me and drop Rat I suspect he did not have much left, went in with Card Trooper and he Veiler so I could not gain attack, but I milled the Tomato and went into Scrap and he left to top-decking but scrub soon after his Allure missed.
Game 3 - I got DDV-ed 4 hand card gone and he knew my entire hand so can tell me with confidence that I couldn't win after he showed me a Warning.
Result: Top 8 (shared)
Prize: XX-Saber Darksoul cos no one wanted it and Roger and Cavin wanted to go.
After hearing all the tales of how Sam would tell you that you lost, having it done to myself felt.... Rather cool actually. I was not at all offended or anything. Really, it was an honour.
As for the flame wars, it appears I'm gonna get kicked out of Singapore Yugioh Association, but that's fine. I'm gonna leave myself. This is the way I roll, and I'm bound to have haters and all that bad jazz. Sorry for not being you average Singaporean duelist, just cos I'm different doesn't make me an attention seeker.

Visiting Six Samurai
I couldn't sleep and decided to do this post on my thoughts of the Six Sams and how they should be played, I hope that I can get different perspectives so as to furthur improve my deck without netdecking.
As we all know, Six Sams were introduced in Strike of Neos blah blah blah.... And then got Gateway in Extra Pack 3 ZOMGWTF so OP. Then got the LSS in STOR.
From then on, LSS consistently topped and continued to top until..... Sept'11 banlist hit their consistency quite badly. The deck is still a favourite and from the decklist distribution in the Japan tournaments, it ranks about a close 3rd or 4th with Dark World behind TGAA and Inzector. Clearly the deck has lost some of it's powerfulness with the loss of Shien's Smoke Signal, which led to players having to sub in Asecetism to ensure their first turn Shi'en plays.
Here are some common things seen in the decklist nowadays that were rather different last format.
3 Kageki to 2
Now most people run 2 Kageki cos honestly, it's a lousy top draw in most scenarios and requires an activation of an effect, which tends to fall prey to the plethora of Effect Veilers being run everywhere now. Furthurmore, having 2 in your hand sucks, but the consistency must remain present to have this outlet to first turn Shi'en, hence the drop to 2 instead of 1.
2 MST to Side
Simple reason, no space. Strong card this format as one MST could change the game and also against Dark World where you have to blast everything, Heavy Storm isn't enough. However, against the typical meta of TGAA and Inzector, not very big deal due to their lower trap counts.
Drop Yaichi
Yaichi was extremely powerful previous format but has lost almost all it's use. Furthurmore, it is not a viable Ascestism target at all and has been replaced by the more usable Zanji and Enishi.
FIRE girls
For some reason they are being dropped and they are not being sided. I think Hand is still extremely important, though the Mizuho for Ascestism can be dropped.
Do we still main Compulse?
In my March'11 build, I teched in one CED, which proved quite useful, however I teched it out this format and haven't looked backed till recently, as it appears to be in every Six Sam decklist in Japan, either ran in 1s or 2s.
D. Prison still good?
Considering that if the Dark World player has a fairly decent hand AND goes first, it becomes very difficuly for the Six Sam player to match the Grapha, hence the use of D. Prisons. The problem remains that this will affect the consistency of the deck.
Magatama or SLR?
Japan decklist now mostly main 3 Maga, whereas I main 2 and 1 SLR. I find SLR similar to Maga in many ways and much more practical. Still Maga negates Hyperion, a big deal in the Agent matchup.
Drop 1 Warning?
Recently I have been considering dropping 1 Warning as it just hasn't been that good this format. Both TGAA and Inzector are not TOO afraid of Warning as their food come from the grave anw.
Dark Hole?
I have never liked Dark Hole much, but I do main it because of the potential plus and the ability to go for that final push. I know people in Japan have all dropped the Dark Hole, and considering it's a card I heartily dislike I should be doing it to.
Heavy Storm?!
I want to keep Heavy because I need that assurance but I have top drawn it when all I needed was a mob to win and that's when it becomes total bullshit.
The usage of Shi'en
I know that alot of people have said things like us Sams players must now use our Shi'en more wisely, but I believe one should always first turn Shi'en or Naturia Beast as it drastically limits the plays opponents can go into. Furthurmore, I believe the truth sign of a good Six Sam player is his usage of the Shi'en negate, how he must not be easily baited out by some Monster Reborn or CotH. As far as possible, I feel the Shi'en should never negate anything if able cos you never know.
Please leave your thoughts on whether I should keep maining Heavy and Dark Hole, and also some tech ideas of yours I could try.
I will not tech in an Irou + BLS though.

Tour Bus From the Underworld?......
W....TF?
Apparently TGU isn't strong enough for Konami. Luckily TCG exclusive, won't be seeing too many of it around.
Maybe it lets you RotA a TGU, won't put it beneath them to do shit like that.
Don't tell me that's imba, I already know.
