Random Ideas-DuelinMasta
Hey, people, it's DuelinMasta, I'm back again with another post.  These are just some random thoughts about Yu-Gi-Oh with no particular point in the whole.
 
First, I'm a little surprised that with Blowback Dragon out, people aren't trying good ol' Machine decks.  They've got Barrel Dragon, X-Head Cannon, Jinzo, Limiter Removal, etc.  As the sets continue, old themes come back and new ones are created.  This would be an old theme.  There's a good amount of Machines in the game, but nobody seems to use them outside of Beatdown and Chaos.  I personally am working on a Machine deck, and it's coming along nicely, but that's off topic.  Try sifting the old cards for goodies like said cards and see how far they take you.
 
Second, I'm sick and tired of rants.  Sure, some cards are hated because they are broken, or similar conditioned, or just plain aggravating, but ranting on it won't make it go away.  Only Upper Deck can cause those cards to leave decks, and I don't think the Ban List will be here for a while.  When it does come around, if at all, then maybe people will shut up, but until then, shut up and deal with it.  If you're so mad at something, go work it off elsewhere, I and other people waste our time reading your rants.
 
Third, I would like to revisit the first and last rant I wrote under the name of Jowgen.  Many of these cards are tournament-worthy, but are still ignored.  No, I'm not starting another rant, I'm just saying that these cards can be useful.  I personally run a Jowgen in my Chaos deck.  Lots of people reading this will think I'm stupid, most likely, but it works against other Chaos decks while mine sets itself up.  Jowgen being a Light gives it more playability in a Chaos deck.  Sure, some of the others aren't very good, but I'm going to stick with the Chaos helpers theme for now.  Here's a good one: Emissary of the Afterlife.  Combo this with a Level 3 or lower Normal Monster, Light or Dark or whatever, and you have a setup.  Like ExMinion said in his CotD review of this card, they have to have a legal target or it must be verified that they don't.  The verification?  You look through their deck to make sure.  Someone tell me that isn't good.  *listens*  Hmm...no response.  Also, Emissary is a Dark/Fiend, helping both Necrofear and Chaos decks, and the search ability comes in handy in the rarely-seen Exodia deck.  This should also inspire a little originality because they don't plan on limiting this card.
 
Fourth, I would like more people to take BETTER CARE of their cards.  If they want something from you, are they going to get it if they have crappy-looking cards?   I see this everyday and it makes me sick.  Some of the best duelists at my shop (no, I don't own it) stuff their spares in their pockets or wherever like trash.  Then, they'll want something and won't be able to trade for it due to their card's condition.  If you're going to go ballistic on buying and trading these cards, take care of them, or they'll be worthless, in trade value and in money value.
 
Fifth, I would like to finish this post with a thanks to Pojo for posting my many Reports/Articles/Tips under various Screen Names.  Another thanks goes to all the people out there who do things their own way, I like people like that.  A final thanks goes out to the card shop I play at and the people within that allow me to play this wonderful game and keep me from hours upon hours of boredom.  :-P
 
I screwed up a little on my last post, my e-mail is DuelinMasta777@aol.com and if anyone who sent mail to the other address, I don't know where it went, sorry.  Still, send me hate mail, love mail, any kind of mail except spam.  My AIM name is DuelinMasta777 if you want to IM me for a duel or just to chat.
 
Until next post,
