Subject: Corrections on several tips.

 

Tips are very nice to have when you are new and trying to understand the game, or when you are trying to learn a few new tricks. But tips with false information given is just irresponsible action to me. Below are the corrections on several tips listed on Sept. 18

 

For "Zack Deck Thoughts": Please don't post any decks that still involves Japanese cards, for that many players out there like myself, are looking strictly for English version cards only even though there are Japanese cards which are facinating. Look through your deck and I see if not at least half of them are Japanese cards. Please, this deck will get you disqualified in North America anywhere.

 

For "wisked blue eyes summon with backup": here is a direct quote from your tip-"

monster reborn(in hand), traphole(on field), mirror force(on field),tribute to the doomed(field), &fissure (field),dark hole, despell,justdesserts, and woboku

thats four spaces so far, let them build up a defense then use a just desserts to take 500 to 2500 lifepoints then a dark hole (make sure you have nothing extremely good down there) Next discard B-E W. dragon to the graveyard, next use the lord of d. face up in defense and use the flute to summon the two remaining bw dragons to the field as special summons( if they use a despell just use yours), next reborn your other dragon to the field. place woboku down for another part of it."

 

Noticed the part underlined? There are just way too many mistakes in this tip.

1. Just Desserts is a trap card, therefore it cannot be played directly from your hand. It must be set on the field for one turn at least before you can activate its effect. However, from your tip, you give me the impression that you are playing this card right from your hand.

2. You CANNOT discard cards from your hand for ANY reason other than card effects. Therefore you cannot just simply "discard a BEWD".

3. When normal summoning a monster, it can only be played in either FACE-UP attack mode, or FACE-DOWN defense mode. You CANNOT normal summon a monster in face up defense mode right away. This also goes with flipping a monster. When flip summon a monster, it must be flipped from face-down defense into face up attack, you cannot flip it into face up defense right away.

4. Despell is a normal magic with spell speed 1. It is clearly stated in the official rule book and the upperdeck ruling that speed 1 spell CANNOT counter another speed 1 spell. The only type of magic card that is allowed to be played as a counter or during your opponent's turn are the quick-play magics, which has just been released with Magic Ruler.

5. You may only have 6 cards in you hand by the end of your turn. Therefore you hands contain way too many cards required to be played in a chain that is almost impossible to put together.

 

For "Gate Guardian with only six tributes---Seto Kaiba": Share the Pain only destroys one of your monsters and one of your opponent's monsters on the field. The destroyed monster CANNOT be used as a tribute for summoning lvl5+monsters or card effects like Cannon Soldier. If you cannot accept this rule, then just answer this question- Why would Konami create another card called "Soul Exchange", which is a foiled card, and allow another normal magic card to do the job much better, yet not restricting it in any deck??? Using soul exchange you have to skip your battle phase, but if Share the Pain works the way you intended, you don't even skip your battle phase for it, that just doesn't make sense to me.

 

That's it for now, I'll be back for more corrections if it is needed. For now, later.
