					Tebezu on 
					YuGiOh 
														
														
														David L. Williams is the 
														president of the 
														Kentucky senate, he is 
														trying to pass 
														legislature concerning 
														the rights of unborn 
														children from mothers 
														with substance abuse 
														problems. Basically he 
														wants the state to have 
														the right to hold 
														mothers in jail until 
														their child is born to 
														prevent them from 
														indulging in any 
														activities that might 
														harm the child in its 
														future development. 
														Current research 
														utilizing mice has 
														confirmed that smoking 
														cigarettes while 
														pregnant, after 
														pregnancy, etc. around 
														female offspring has the 
														ability to decrease the 
														fertility of that child. 
														I wonder if such 
														legislature is passed if 
														all smoking women will 
														be detained from their 
														children to prevent 
														developmental problems. 
														Let us stretch this 
														argument to encompass 
														other forms of 
														environmental causes of 
														precancerous and 
														cancerous tissue. I 
														wonder if such 
														legislature could argue 
														in the detention of 
														mothers who drive in 
														polluted areas, eat fast 
														food, etc. while 
														pregnant or with small 
														child. Basically I do 
														not understand how such 
														legislature can lead to 
														any good. First off it 
														is giving some form of 
														government a little bit 
														more control over the 
														lives of its citizens. 
														Secondly it contradicts 
														the various forms of 
														capitalistic endeavor. 
														This statement meaning 
														that pollution has been 
														one of the consequences 
														of business and 
														considering how 
														unregulated in 
														comparison to what is 
														plausible concerning the 
														pollution output of 
														various companies, how 
														in the world does 
														Kentucky expect to 
														manage the birth rights 
														of its women in a 
														constitutional manner. 
														Thirdly this idea should 
														lead to the banning of 
														cigarettes and alcohol 
														and we all know that is 
														not going to happen due 
														to the huge revenues 
														they develop. Fourthly, 
														how can we allow the 
														debate of such ideology 
														when we live in a 
														society of legalized 
														abortion and 
														contradicting views 
														concerning global 
														warming? Such talk will 
														be used to argue the 
														banning of abortion. We 
														all should know by now 
														that despite our best 
														efforts and personal 
														views, that will not 
														happen as a result of 
														losing a societal 
														divider as well as 
														personal freedom. Now I 
														ask you what all this 
														has to due with 
														Yu-Gi-Oh? Anyone have an idea? Simply it is an application of debate and the logic required when making decisions. For Yu-Gi-Oh much like everything else in life is currently full of turmoil, hope, ideology, and ignorance. As this format continues it should become more and more evident that aggression is the key to winning. Crystal Seer is an example of a  card whose hype was the 
														result of an old format. 
														Currently slow decks, 
														flip flop, etc. can't 
														match the power and 
														speed of Zombies or PCM. 
														Explosiveness is the key 
														to winning. For some 
														reason players still 
														ignore the use of D.D. 
														Assailant, D.D. Warrior 
														Lady, and Bottomless 
														Trap Hole. The remove 
														from game mechanic is 
														being ignored (I assume 
														the new secret rare from 
														Gladiators Assault may 
														force opinion in a 
														different way?) 
														Nonetheless, we are 
														playing in a format of 
														horrendous brutality. 
														Yet I truly believe any 
														deck can and will 
														succeed if played 
														correctly. Light and 
														Darkness Dragon will 
														begin to pop from the 
														comics into our local 
														events, Destiny 
														Hero-Disc Commander and 
														Foolish Burial will 
														provide draw loop after 
														draw loop. We are living 
														in a truly exciting time 
														and in the next 
														following weeks expect 
														to see the best of the 
														best to dominate. I 
														personally believe Decoy 
														Dragon, Trade-In, 
														Dragons Mirror, Common 
														Charity, Triple BEWD and 
														triple Tri-Horn Dragon 
														will see top 8 play. 
														Trade-In is not only 
														cheaper but better than 
														Destiny Draw and Rare 
														Value. It allows us to 
														dump a big monster into 
														the graveyard to hit 
														with it via Return from 
														the Different Dimension 
														or Dimension Fusion. 
														Trade-In would improve 
														my triple Sacred Phoenix 
														of Nepthys deck I am 
														about to present. Trade-In allows Dinosaur Players another way to end the game quicker. If Fossil Evacuation was not reason enough to run some 3000-3300 beaters, maybe a draw card is. Foolish Burial allows for us not only to search our decks for Treeborn Frog and Green Baboon, but for any monster. Book of Life, Premature Burial, Call of the Haunted and Bazoo are all back on top. Hell a Foolish Burial into a BEWD or three makes Decoy Dragon a dominating field presence as well as Dragons Mirror a more consistent game winning option. Anyone else thinking about Exodia right now? With three Jar of Greed, three Legacy of Yata, and three Foolish Burial currently legal think of the possibilities. We truly are living in a time of craziness, debate, and ignorance. Despite my great joy of this game and all the potential out there I have been removed from Yu-Gi-Oh for sometim  e. 
														Totally ignoring the 
														school, financial, 
														girlfriend, etc. reasons 
														I believe it is the 
														result of not having 
														anyplace to play. I have 
														recently been kicked out 
														of a local tournament 
														due to winning to often. 
														Yes you read that 
														correctly, winning is 
														bad for business. Thus I 
														have had no place to 
														play within a reasonable 
														distance and I am really 
														getting the itch to 
														play. As you can see 
														from my previous 
														paragraphs, I have all 
														kinds of ideas and no 
														way to currently test 
														them. Thus I'd 
														appreciate people taking 
														some of my above ideas 
														and doing something with 
														them. Try them out, test 
														them, love them. With all this said I present to you the last deck I have played. Ironically getting second place while being removed from the local tournament scene for winning to often, losing too an unexpected Green Baboon drop in the finals. It much like the others in the history of my contributions should present proof to my readers that any theme or idea has potential if provided some chance to shine. (41) Monster (21) 2x Crystal Seer 3x Hand of Nepthys 3x Sacred Phoenix of Nepthys 2x Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch 2x Apprentice Magician 1x Card Trooper 1x Magician of Faith 1x Sangan 1x Treeborn Frog 1x Morphing Jar 1x Spirit Reaper 1x Breaker the Magical Warrior 1x Snipe Hunter  1x Old Vindictive Magician Spell (13) 1x Creature Swap 2x Nobleman of Crossout 2x Soul Exchange 1x Brain Control 1x Book of Moon 1x Smashing Ground 2x Lightning Vortex 1x Card Destruction 1x Heavy Storm 1x Premature Burial Trap (7) 2x Bottomless Trap Hole 2x Sakuretsu Armor 1x Mirror Force 1x Torrential Tribute 1x Call of the Haunted Side Deck (15) 3x Kinetic Soldier 2x Raiza the Storm Monarch 2x Mobius the Frost Monarch 2x Cyber Dragon 2x Royal Decree 3x Dust Tornado 1x MST As stated many times throughout my rants, articles, etc. in order for a deck to be successful it must expand off of the ideas of what is or is not currently working. Much as evolution shapes animals to conform to their environments, decks must build off working ideas to be successful. I admit that the last time I touched a Yu-Gi-Oh deck was a few days after my last article submission, thus it has been a while. But I can promise that this principle will always hold true. Draw power, speed, and the ability to shift momentum are the three principles that will always dominate in this game. This deck caught so many off guard due to the mentality that phoenix is an ok card. The fact players are not running the D.D. monsters, Bottomless Trap Hole, etc. only means she is better. Book of Life caused some inconvenience but a first turn Hand of Nepthys with a Brain Control or Soul Exchange quickly made up for the inconvenience. Most players honestly did not expect to see three phoenix in a deck. I won multiple games with three phoenix and a Treeborn Frog hitting the field all at the same time. Nothing shows your dominance over the game like three monsters with recursion for 7200 points of damage. Hell sometimes I'd throw the frog into the mix and hit for another 100 points of damage:P Lightning Vortex, Snipe Hunter, Card Trooper, etc. guarantee phoenix will not be dead in my hand and/or hit the graveyard for a recursion card. The side deck allowed me to prepare against burn, samurai, Crystal Beast, while also providing the opportunity to switch it up into a more traditional monarch build. All in all I think the phoenix is an underrated card not given enough of a chance by current players. She literally erupts from hell bringing a fiery vengeance. Clearing the back row and allowing quick over extensions. Soul Exchange and Brain Control allow her to hit the field more consistent, due to how easy Hand of Nepthys is located from the deck. Just like any other idea, all it takes to succeed is a will to find a way. ................................ Currently I am looking for a lot of trades. I need to get a play set of secret rare Light and Darkness Dragon (currently have one). I'd like to get some extra Tri-Horn Dragons, Common Charities, Gladiator Beast support (etc.) I'd like to get extras of the new cards from the new Dragon structure deck (Trade-In, Decoy Dragon, Malevolent Catastrophe, etc.) As always I am interested in play mats of any kind (Crystal Beast and Rainbow Dragon being my current big wants). Holo hobby league cards, the new PSP, PS2, and Nintendo DS promo cards, Gellunduo, Gladiator's Assault secret rares, new samurai support, etc. Please do not hesitate in trying to contact me for a trade or help. I enjoy answering questions and feel pride in the fact so many readers admire my opinion. I really want you all to go out and try some of the things I've talked about in this article. I want to get crazy deck lists and I want to know your opinions on the format. As always, I can be contacted at... Tebezu@gmail.com Just in case my next article isn't in time for Christmas, I wish you all a happy and safe holiday season.
