Agent Angels Impressions from DS WC Championship 2011

Finally got my digital copy of Lost Santuary Structure. The game made it so it was the last structure deck to be unlocked. =(

I tried out Agent and my first impression is that after summoning the Agent of Earth, it is hard to keep it on the field unprotected. There are also no Gachi Gachi Gantetsu for the Agent of Venus/Mystical Shine Ball play in this game. I've tried out the Gravekeeper (GK) variant from the Japan Nationals Qualifier and I think it is not as good as the standard build. I think the whole point was to get out a lot of monsters to equip with United We Stand and I did manage to pull that off in one game. 2 GK Spy and 1 United We Stand-equipped Venus with 2 Shine Balls = Venus at 5600 attack. The one good thing with the GK splash is that it allows for BLS.

I've made a lot of other decks and will post all of them soon.

More OCG New Ban-List Decks appearing

at Shriek.twoday.net from the 27 August Update

- There are a lot of Agent Angels and OCG's way of using Black Luster Soldier (BLS) will be to splash Tech Genus. Personally, I think for Yugioh, splashing another type into a deck is usually more inconsistent with the exception of Junk Doppel.

- 2nd highest deck used was Lightlords (w Chaos)

- Some decks are still using a high number of traps, >10

- MST is not always run at 3s and the Dark World players even sided them due to their access to Dark World Lightning.

Ok I think TCG Agent Fairies are Tier 1 in the new format...

Team Mental Warfare's Agents from the Underworld

Reading the combos gives me the shudders...

In other unrelated news, you can now play Pokemon TCG online officially... just like Magic Online.

He who summons his boss monster last, summons his boss monster best... unless your boss monster is Kristya...

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.
