DS WC 2011 Six Samurai (Sept 2011 List)

I'm very late to the Six Samurai theme and I'm quite surprised that this is one of my completed decks. There are not much changes I want to make, or can make.

Six samurai is a deck which has elements of X-sabers and GB in them. It was nerfed in the recent ban-list and the deck I built was based on that list but I still find the deck fairly strong. I can still constantly synchro Shi En and in my plays, I can consistently get first turn Shi En over first turn Stardust Dragon in dragunity. Shien also stops Dimensional Prison whereas Stardust can't.

My deck choices to replaced the restricted cards are Grand Mole and the spirit of six samurai. Grand mole is useful and can also synchro for Naturia Beast. I ever had it and Shien on the field at the same time. I did try try 2 Magatama of Musakani but hardly use one, so I reduce to 1.

Currently, Six Samurai has new tricks from packs not found in WC 2011, like asceticism of the six samurai and shien's dojo. Overall, the deck is fun and strong and I enjoy using it.

YuGiOh World Championship 2011 (Not the DS game!)

The world championship is over and out of all the many decks (lots of Junk Doppel), Agent Angels (the only one?) emerged victorious. It's nice to see a Machina Gadget deck in the top 4.

There is a Championship "Banlist" to even things out between TCG and OCG. One example will be that Dark World structure deck is not allowed as it is not in TCG yet. The one exception in my opinion is that TG Hyper Librarian is very notably limited to one. This will definitely be the case in the upcoming September Banlist. It might also be the reason that Junk Doppel is not as good as it can be. Shooting Quasar Dragon is also forbidden and I've seen that used as a kill card in Bahamut84's tournament report matches using Junk Doppel.
