Dark Paladin's Yu-Gi-Oh! Dimension
The Verdict of 2005
1.13.06

Hello again to Pojo and Yugioh fans one and all! I come to you again today to discuss the game and things that happened in the year 2005.
Kudos to Ben who beat me to doing this, but I wanted to do it as well.

The Structure decks was something new we got this year which is a real cool way to get new duelists involved. For the most part, the structure decks contain a nice set of 40 cards to get you dueling right away. These are a much better way of dueling than the original starter decks.

We also received six different boosters this year. From Soul of the Duelist all the way up to the most recent Elemental Energy.

Soul of the Duelist

SOD brought us the set of Hours monsters and the Armed Dragon set, which was cool. We also got Mobius the Frost Monarch, Master of Oz, and Ojama King which is good...right? The set wasn't really that great honestly.

Rise of Destiny

RDS had the Creator which may win the award for most n00b wanted card of the year. This set was essentially crap in my opinion. There wasn't really anything to get.

Flaming Entity

This gave us the "all powerful" Phoenix and Lightning Vortex, two cards that almost anyone wanted before the set was even released, and with good reason.

The Lost Millenium

We got DD Survior and Brain Control from this set as well as an overwhelming load of unnecessary rock support including those Gear Golem cards. Not a whole lot was needed from this set either. The craptacular E-Heros began to emerge also.

Cybernetic Revolution

CRV brought us even MORE E-Hero support and there's still more coming sadly. Cyber Dragon came though and that was a blessing yet a curse all at the same time. Cyber Dragon is here to stay for the time being and we also got the deadly Cyber End Dragon.

Elemental Energy

Nope, the E-Hero support isn't done, and it will keep coming, you can be assured of that. Dark World has been released and it definately could be something to worry about. Graceful Charity may have been banned simply for that. We also got Pot of Avarice which I'm fairly indifferent about.

Shadow of Infinity is coming soon as is the long awaited Spellcaster Structure deck, so look forward to that.

That does it for today and I hope you enjoyed it. Please feel free to contact me with anything @ tsearcy@lssu.edu

Also, I'll be celebrating my 1 year anniversary here at Pojo next Friday, and I'd LIKE to say I've got some big article or something planned...but that would be lying. I'll get of my ass and do something though.

You stay classy, Planet Earth :)
