Tebezu on
YuGiOh
As the
weekends shonen jump demonstrated, this
format is full of life, diversity, and
surprises. The reason for this diversity is
simply due to a lack energy. For those of
you who have/or will be studying ecological
niches, biodiversity hot spots, etc. you
will come to understand that more diversity
(determined by the different kinds and
amounts of life found in an area) exist in
environments starved of energy. This comes
as a result of organisms being forced to
find alternative ways to synthesize ATP
(molecule responsible for a lot of metabolic
processes). We start to see massive amounts
of mutalism take place, as each organism is
forced to rely on another organism to
generate needed energy. In an environment
full of energy we start to see the same
pattern of energy consumption take place.
Most plants we are familiar with
photosynthesize in the same fashion, most
animals obtain nutrients by consuming
something else, etc.
Yu-Gi-Oh's new mass extinction has altered
the environment, doing so has given rise to
new archetypes that no longer have to deal
with the same deck over and over because
those said decks have lost key elements that
have driven them into extinction. Diversity
is now good, and as the format progresses we
will start to witness what adaptations reign
supreme.
With this
in mind I introduce you all to a letter I
received...
Dear Tebezu,
In our hobby shop, the players
are fixated in making monarch
control decks. Since then, it
has always become a question who
is the fastest monarch control
player. I created this deck so
that it may help them to be
creative again. Is there any
way that I could improve this?
Thanks and good day,
John Paul Nuique

This deck in and of itself is
built good. But I do not know
how to stress that in order to
be successful we must use tech
as tech and not as a deck.
Normal monsters have all kinds
of support and most of it is
good support. Cards that allow
us to draw extra cards, bring 2
dead monsters back to our hand
at the cost of one card, etc.
are great ideas in theory. But
the downside of it all comes
from such supports necessity for
us to have a normal monster.
Thus such cards usefulness
becomes limited to certain
situations in the game that may
not always be established. In
the current format (filled with
no draw power outside of
monsters and generic
traps/spells) every card needs
to count. Players who make
mistakes are going to have a
harder time crawling out of
their hole. Thus more skill and
less luck is going to be needed
to accomplish the harder task of
winning. If every card is
usable the less importance
"lucky" draws have. We begin to
see decks that can accomplish
tasks pretty much no matter what
their opening hands look like.
We have to build decks that down
right OwNz its opposition. This
accomplish has been for
generations found in the aggro/beatdown
archetype. Beast monsters offer
us some of the best monster type
support available. Searchers,
trample, phoenix, KING TIGER
WANGHU, etc. Thus with this in
mind I can only hope you all
listen
too your inner beast and
allow it to consume you!

This deck can easily be adjusted
to perfection (which i hope you
all do and send me back some
ideas). But it offers massive
amounts of removal (mass removal
and the one for one kind)
versatility as far as monster
exchange is concerned, and gives
us no excuse to ignore King
Tiger Wanghu. The King really
is a fine monster who rains all
over lilies parade (she likes to
party with the gadgets, Giant
Rat, Tomato's, etc. so they all
suffer too!)
Not to mention the beast
archetype allows Bazoo the Soul
Eater to find a happy niche.
I really hope that you all take
this deck into consideration.
Look at it, improve it, and play
it. The only way any of us can
accomplish a goal is by playing
to our strengths. For those of
us who like good old fashion
face smashing, well we need to
get cracking cause this format
is all about breaking skulls.
If anyone wants to talk, has
suggestions, crazy deck ideas,
etc. I can be contacted at...
