New Grounds: Teching the Metagame with Aggression - April 21, 2007 |
|
|
|
|
We’ve already discussed the fact that both DDT and the Ritual OTK deck base themselves around an inordinate amount of spell cards that must resolve successfully to give them victory. However, both decks also suffer from a few more weaknesses that I’d like to exploit.

Strike of Neos Preview: Card Trader - February 11, 2007 |
|
|
|
|
One of the main goals any opponent has (especially when you play a combo deck) is limiting your options. Improving them by the kind of drastic amounts that Card Trader allows is downright deadly.

Best of 2006: New Grounds: Exodia, How I Love You So - January 06, 2007 |
|
|
|
|
Trying to build a top-tier Exodia deck embodies the exact goal of the New Grounds column: to build competitive decks for aspiring players that can do well at a local tournament or regionals event.

New Grounds Theme: Macro-Cosmos Explored - December 09, 2006 |
|
|
|
|
When put back on its heels through crafty use of your trap cards, the Monarch deck loses all of the floaters that help create so much advantage.

New Grounds: Scouting out the Future - November 18, 2006 |
|
|
|
|
Playing Strike Ninja showed me that he was incredibly powerful and almost indestructible, but my limited knowledge back in the day made it difficult to understand precisely what made him so great.

New Grounds: Hardcore Hand Control - November 11, 2006 |
|
|
|
|
As many duelists begin to experiment with flavored variations on the cookie cutter decks and cards like Future Fusion, Limiter Removal, and Pot of Avarice work themselves into the mainstream, hardcore hand control has never looked better.

Cyberdark Impact: Flash of the Forbidden Spell - November 01, 2006 |
|
|
|
|
The first thought that comes to mind is that Flash of the Forbidden Spell boasts a rather uncanny resemblance to Raigeki, which is rightfully on the Forbidden List.

New Grounds Theme: Supercharged - October 07, 2006 |

Ever since my Power of the Duelist Preview on Supercharge, I can’t help but have a soft spot for the card.

New Grounds Concept: New Age Soul Control - July 08, 2006 |
|
|
|
|
Because the Soul Exchange combination and the Deck Devastation Virus engine both generated some huge momentum swings in the format, I thought it’d be fun to combine the two concepts into one meaty deck.

New Grounds Theme: The Harpie Lady Deck - May 20, 2006 |
|
|
|

My previews of Icarus Attack and Harpie’s Pet Baby Dragon stoked a tremendous fire for me to construct the best version of the Harpie Lady theme possible.

Enemy of Justice Preview: Cyber Phoenix - May 04, 2006 |
|
|
|
|
Cyber Phoenix has the ability to increase the draw power of both Fire decks and Machine decks, generate card advantage, or poke across an empty field for added damage without worrying about counter-attacks that destroy resources.

New Grounds Concept: Winning Through Battle - April 29, 2006 |
|
|
|
|
If we can create a neutral playing field where defenses don’t matter, the advantages generated through battle by our "advantage through battle" monsters should spur the innovative deck-builder to victory.

New Grounds: Exodia, How I Love You So - March 17, 2006 |
|
|
|
|
I would like to do proper justice to a fully competitive Exodia deck. Is it possible? Yes. Pot of Avarice has given hope to Exodia users everywhere!

New Grounds 5: The Archfiend Deck - March 11, 2006 |
|
|
|
|
I feel that building the most competitive version of this deck would please lots of readers who are looking for a place to start with their Fiend decks.

New Grounds 3: The Insect Deck - February 25, 2006 |
|
|
|
|
After witnessing firsthand the awesome powers of some of the new cards released in the set (Doom Dozer springs readily to mind), I think it’s safe to say that Insect decks have joined the top tier of elite, tournament-caliber decks.

Shadow of Infinity Preview: Treeborn Frog - February 15, 2006 |
|
|

The card does indeed allow you to unload free tribute monsters, making it great with cards like Mobius the Frost Monarch and Airknight Parshath.

New Grounds 1: The Dark Scorpion Deck - February 04, 2006 |
|
|
|
|
In this series, my main goal is to look at “rogue” deck types and analyze the extent of their effectiveness against the decks commonly seen in the current format.

The Juncture: Entering the Magical Dimension - January 14, 2006 |
|
|
|
|
The release of Magical Dimension in the new Spellcaster’s Judgment Structure Deck has provided the missing link and driving impetus for all duelists to begin using Spellcasters competitively!

Best of 2005: Tin Week: Dark Magician Girl - January 07, 2006 |
|
|

Most of my columns on this site try to take at least a new or unorthodox way of viewing previously overlooked options, and this article is a great example of what can be done with some originality and desire.

The Juncture: Dark! - November 26, 2005 |
|
|
|
|
I’m almost tempted to skip this section, since Dark monsters are unquestionably the best attribute type in the game.

|
The Juncture: Earth - November 19, 2005 |
|
|
|
|
Earth monsters are easily some of the best in the game.

The Juncture: Breaking Down the Elements - November 12, 2005 |
|
|
|
|
In celebration of the upcoming release of Elemental Energy, I’ll be reviewing a key set of support cards (in six flavors) that have gone unjustly ignored for a long time.

Elemental Energy Preview: Pot of Advantage - October 25, 2005 |
|
|
|
|
We already know that the new Dark World monsters are some of the best to be printed in recent memory, but the true impact of Elemental Energy rests on a single spell card.

The Juncture: Reviving Chaos Control - October 22, 2005 |
|
|
|
|
The inclusion of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End on the previous Forbidden list and Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning removal from the new Advanced format has made it impossible to create a working Chaos build . . . right?

The Juncture: Assessing Spell Lineups in the New Metagame - October 15, 2005 |
|
|
|
|
As there were typically sixteen to twenty spells in every player’s deck prior to the new Forbidden list, the loss of seven to nine cards from each deck type will have a huge effect on the new Advanced format.

The Juncture: Analyzing the Machine Deck - September 09, 2005 |
|
|
|
|
The obvious beneficiary of the new set’s rush of hot additions to the arsenal is the Machine deck, an explosive archetype that I’ll scrutinize in this article.
