Hieratics my new love LoL

Hi guys what's up! When the banlist was announced,I sat down in front of my computer thinking of what deck to use for this format. I have tested various decks and I ended up in playing Hieratics.With the help of Shahmir -a player from Malaysia I tested with him, tried different builds and ended with this:


Decklist:

Monsters:(20)
3x Hieratic Tefnuit
3x Hieratic Nebthet
3x Hieratic Su
3x Hieratic Eset
2x Cardcar D
1x Honest
2x Tragoedia
1x Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon
2x Wattdragon

Spells:(16)
3x Nightshot
3x Mystical Space Typhoon
2x Smashing Ground
1x My body as a shield
1x Heavy Storm
1x Dark hole
2x Hieratic Seal of convocation
1x Monster Reborn
2x Pot of Duality
1x Forbidden Lance

Traps:(3)
2x Compulsory Evacuation Device
1x Solemn Judgment

Extra Deck:(15)
3x Hieratic King Atum
3x Gaia Thunder Charger
1x No.61:Volcasaurus
1x Tiras,Keeper of Genesis
1x Inzektor Exa-Beetle
1x No.25:Force Focus
1x Photon Streak Bounzer
1x Sword Breaker
1x Blackrose Dragon
1x Ancient Holy Wyvern
1x AOJ Catastor

This deck has lots of ways to OTK the opponent and my favorite is this one:

(Compulsory Evacuation Device Set a turn earlier)
-Clear Backrow with lots of hate
-Summon Atum
-Special summon Red-eyes Darkness Metal Dragon from deck
-Special any Dragon LoL
-Bounce REDMD and special summon him by removing random dragon
-use REDMD summon a hieratic,tribute that hieratic,exceed for Bounzer or Exa-beetle if the latter after using beetle effect exceed for Thunder Charger :)

Tech Choices:
Smashing Ground - I decided to use this card because there is only 1 card that can stop me in my tracks and that is Archlord Kristya.With the announcement of Promo Cards will be legal in SEA this card is the instant answer to Thunder King and Fossil Dyna.

My Body as a Shield - when your OTK fails this is the answer for Dark Hole!

Try Hieratics and I am sure that you guys will fell in love with the deck.You can also experiment builds that you are comfortable with like Malaysia's K'yde creating a Hieratic Deck with psychic cards.So later guys :)

Asia Plus and some things

Hi Guys Asia Plus is fast approaching and to those who do not know Asia Plus,it is a team tournament which should be made of three members.Each member share the same banlist so meaning cards are shared to every individuals and decks must be thought carefully which will show our deck building abilities.

So by the 27th of October, our country will be holding the qualifiers for Asia Plus and the winner will get a free trip to HK and will get a chance represent the country.So for our Philippine readers please find you teammates and build your decks now because we only have a month and a week to prepare.

Last year our group had a lots of fun time talking and playing with foreign players and we have learned much from them, hopefully we could return to Asia Plus and defend the title.Asia Plus taught me many things that you cannot rely on staples alone to win tournaments,you must know that there are other cards out there from the norm.Also I have enjoyed creating decks for my team,discussing tech cards after tech cards,having training camps in other's houses but in the end you guys are all tired just from the travel and you will no longer practice LoL.


So that's it for Asia Plus and my boring short story about my experience last year.Now we will tackle the Legalization of Promo cards in Southeast Asia.

I have been playing yugioh since it began and it became a part of me.After years of playing there are cards that were not allowed for tournaments and they are the Promo cards and DT cards.We all know how powerful those promo cards are from Elemental Hero Stratos to Shock Master,but who does not want to play cool monsters like them with so cool effects.Heroes will finally have their time to shine and anti-meta players like myself will finally be able to play our favorite anti-meta cards.Promo Cards will surely change the shape of the meta here,that every deck will have to adapt with the cooler and powerful cards.Even though DT cards are not allowed (with the exemption of DT1 and DT2) playing them is surely good than much limited card pool.

So far other SEA countries will apply this rule immediately,except our country.The reason is that we are still waiting for our TO to confirm if the recent news will applied to us.So if there is someone out there that could help our TO search or get info it will be much appreciated.

Oh I almost forgot you guys should read Edsel's post on what Promo cards did to some of our players featuring Raioh  LoL it is very funny really. Edsel's Blog

My 1st tournament of the new format!

Hi guys! Yesteday I went to Robinsons Galleria to join our weekly tournament. I was planning to join atleast 3 pods today but when I arrived only the final pod is available.When I was about to put my name on the list I saw that almost all the participants are from our team which made me think twice,whatever I still joined.

Deck used: Pure Hieratic
Format:Sanctioned - Single Elimination

Game 1 vs Drain Valley
Round 1: I started with Cardcar D then and a set card. He opened with Necrovalley then summoned Malefic  Cyber End Dragon and inflicted 4k damage to me.On my turn I OTK'd him.
Round 2: I opened with full monster hand and surely I can OTK him with that hand,but he used Royal Tribute on his 1st turn :(
Round 3 I stalled with Tragoedia for a while and keep using Mystical Space Typhoon on his Necrovalley to prevent him from summoning Malefic Monsters.

Game 2 vs Irwin Arogo (Genex Mermail)
Round 1:Game went slow during the 1st 2 turns and I OTK'd him when he left a monster on the field during his turn.
Round 2:I think he just ended his turn immediately then I summoned Photon Bounzer.On his turn he summoned a Mermail Abysspike which I negated with Bounzer just to prevent him from searching from deck.He discarded Atlantean Seahorse and searched for Megaloabyss he ended with Megaloabyss,Zenmaines and Gachi Gachi both exceeds are in defense position leaving me with no cards on the field.On my turn I OTK'D him destroying Megaloabyss with Volcasaurus then attacked Gachi Gachi with double Thunder Charger.

Game 3 vs Jomer Flores (Agent Inzektor)
Round 1:He just set a monster then I OTK'D him LoL
Round 2:He made a wall of 2 Zenmaines,Gachi Gachi and a Hyperion.I swarmed the field then destroyed Gachi Gachi and Hyperion.Next turn he died LoL.

Game 4 vs (Machina)
Round 1: I attempted to OTK his clear field but suddenly I made a mistake LoL I was aiming for double Thunder Charger and a Focus Force but I ended with 2 Thunder Charger,Nebthet, and a 0 attack Wattdragon LoL.Next turn he summoned Scrap Dragon and destroyed my 2 weak monsters :(
Round 2: I OTK'd him immediately LoL
Round 3: This game went to a grind game I have a Hieratic Atum,a Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon and a  Hieratic Su on the field. He had a defense positioned Maestroke then he summoned Gearframe and Summoned Machina Fortress.He equipped Gearframe to Fortress attacked my Hieratic Atum and I won because Red-Eyes stayed on the field for 2 more turns.Then Alvin Lim asked him why he didn't attacked Red-Eyes,he said that he was afraid of Mirror Force.


So This is my Tournament Report for the start of the Format and to those who say that Hieratics are dead Go and burn yourselves LoL.Thanks for your time :) See Ya!
