Opinion Pieces

Hi folks. Atem, co-founder of the Organization team, here. You might ask, why am I bringing such a silly headline today? The Shonen Jump twitter account has brought a new promo poll to our attention, as noted in our most recent news article (Thanks, Ark, as always, for posting it). My team and I had an interesting […]

From their initial release almost 2 years ago, Pendulum Monsters have grown from being completely undervalued and niche into a competitive dreadnought. Across the TCG and OCG, the Pendulum Craze has taken hold, as the “PePe” deck has finally arrived in the TCG with most of the power it used to dominate the OCG format. This […]

Welcome back to another CDS article, and this time we are going to be discussing a very special archetype, one that actually carves out its unique niche as an engine rather than an actual deck at this current point in time. Introducing the Burgesstoma, the archetype of prehistoric ocean fossils reanimated as Trap Cards that actually can […]

Recently getting a bit more popular, the still criminally under-rated Yang Zing deck gets a more in-depth look to explain some of its more complicated strategies, that once known, will help you beat every single deck in the game. I had started to write this on September 6th, and in the interim, Jeff Jones won […]

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 […]

“The task of creating the 2-Player starter deck was an interesting one. The idea was to create a product that is fun when they are played against one another, but are simple enough so that someone who has never played Yu-Gi-Oh! has something where they can learn and enjoy the game. The starter decks for […]

No point in typing this one all out, the video does it fine enough justice. Definitely the most impressive FTK we’ve ever seen, and done with such flair!

With the dawning of Arc V, all summoning methods have finally returned to share the same stage together. While decks dedicated to various summoning method have emerged, Arc V has also introduced a theme capable of using all Extra Deck summoning methods in one deck! Join me beyond the break as I delve into the […]

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! […]

In the story of the Duel Terminals, the Constellar left behind a series of machines to watch the seal they placed upon the Steelswarm prior to ascending into the stars during The Ancient Era. From the high heavens, these holy machines watched and waited. Now for the first time, the Vylon were finally entering the fray… […]

Welcome to my next CDS article, and this week, we are going to be discussing a theme that never really got its time in the spotlight for what it was intended. I’m sure you’ve guessed it by now, but the Tech Genus monsters never caught on for a variety of reasons; mostly that the Synchro […]

This edition of the Casual Deck Strategy articles features an archetype that began in the GX era! And no, before you guess it, I’m not talking about Aliens, my absolute favorite archetype (and my first IRL deck). This archetype doesn’t even share common effects or trends, and they may have one of the largest number of almost […]

The leads of the writing staff got together and decided, hey, let’s do a Noble Knight Primer. It’s among most under-rated Decks in the game right now, featuring one of the metagame’s most versatile cards. You can thank Matt Cashiola for this article’s name. Credit for the section on the final two cards goes to […]

Welcome to another Deck strategy article, but this time I am going to be writing on something a lot more competitive than those covered in my normal Casual Deck Strategy articles. This TCG-premiere archtype has seen many packs go by with many cards of various power levels, each introducing a brand new ‘gimmick’ into the game. […]

So when the new list was posted up a couple of weeks ago i saw that Fire Fists and Mermails got nipped some to where having that 1 Wolfbark, 1 Rekindling or that 1 Abyssgunde becomes more important to use more carefully and take different directions with the deck. With the new format now here […]

Gagagas are the premier Xyz archetype that debuted in Generation Force. Now that the ZEXAL era is ending, let’s take a look at how they’ve matured.
