I’m currently typing up a guide to the “Yang Zing” Archtype. It’s not much unlike the Noble Knight one I authored a few months back that you may have read. Part of the process was fully exploring what you could summon with the decks best card; “Jiaotu, Darkness of the Yang Zing”.

Welcome to my next CDS article, and we will be taking an indepth look into the brand new Red-Eyes Support! Red-Eyes B. Dragon has had multiple waves of support over its history, but its most recent wave of support in Clash of Rebellions and Dragons of Legend 2 has left a lot of duelists staggering, unsure of how to

Welcome to my next CDS article, and we will be returning to a deck that I have covered once before! Spell Counter decks have always struggled with one big issue – either you would draw too many monsters and not enough spells, or you would draw too many spells and not enough monsters. Even the

For the first time in CDS article history, the focus of this article is not about an archetype, theme or series, but rather this article focuses around a specific monster type! More specificly, the newest monster type! Let’s jump right in and learn about the power of Wyrms! And before you ask, this is NOT a

Welcome to my next CDS article, and in this revival of my old article series, I will be discussing a theme that never got to shine. I’m sure you’ve guessed it by the obvious title, but this is all about the Fortune Ladies! The Fortune Lady archetype never caught on for a variety of reasons; mostly that it

A year following the last article about a TCG-Premiere archetype on Noble Knights, I decided to get together with the other U.A. fanboy on the YGOrg writing staff (UltimateKuriboh) and work on creating a comprehensive guide to the U.A. (Ultra Athlete) archetype! Click below to read about the sport freaks in all of their glory, and learn how you

In the story of the Duel Terminals, there was a peaceful tribe named the Gem-Knights… They were resilient, they had fought off the invaders time and time again. However, now smoke descended upon the peaceful village, rendering them unawares of those emerging from the depths of the restless ground beneath. The assault from the Firey Woodlands had begun!

People will often devote hours with a new build, seeing on average how likely it is for them to do a certain play or draw into a certain opening.

Deckbuilding: Theory-oh vs Play-testing

Inexorably
Today someone asked ‘what is more important in deckbuilding: theory-oh or play-testing?’. With limited time to deck-build before an event (unless you can stop time, in which case hit me up), knowing the answer to this — and thus knowing how to best make use of your time — is very important, with a direct
