YGO-A Very Sad Story

Good Day!
This is J.
Today,I will share my thoughts regarding on the current state of our meta in our country.Last Sunday,I tackled about a short guide regarding "Qlipoth" archetype.Since the release of The Next Challengers(NECH) booster pack,I already have a very bad feeling.As I have told you,I won't be releasing any traffic regarding on my last post unless some of my followers tend to read it.
The thing that saddens me the most right of this moment is on how people on our meta hype about them.Surely,the archetype itself is very decent on it's recent debut and there is no wonder that they will make a sudden impact which I am really scared of.I will tell you guys the reason so keep on reading.

As duelists,we all agree that we started from all our humble beginnings.Most of us guys are influenced by our friends while others are encouraged by the anime itself.While there are vast of different card games that is  popular like Cardfight Vanguard,Magic the Gathering,Pokemon TCG etc.,still we stick to this card game because we already became a fan of it.There is no doubt that Yu-Gi-Oh! is a very fun activity to play and to gain some friends.We also agree to the fact that trading cards is fun....wait? this is a trading card game right and not some serious business?

Well,let's get straight to my point.At the beginning,we select our deck of choice.We pick the right cards and the right build that will adapt to the changes of the format.Of course,money does matter.When you have spare cards,it's either we sell them or we trade them to our co-players.In other words,we are very proud to support the game we love.But the thing that really makes me sad is that there are players who somewhat in a point almost make them their livelihood or somehow do not let beginners and players on a budget to cope up.

Let's face it.I know that we are in a same goal which is to support the game and to make our community big.But do you think that you can encourage a player to support ocg if you hype the price of the cards itself?
If your one of those players who are born to take advantage of others,well I will not comment about that.But if your goal is to make our community big,you must be considerable for the new players you want to encourage.

Secondly,I want to discuss about one of the major factors why we play this game-to gain respect.As an individual,if you want to be respected,you must learn how to respect others too.While some people have already proved something on the game,it is the time you must be more humble and polite.In short,you must be a role model to others.There are many old and existing players in the game but what I notice about the community is that some players became arrogant and to an extent,disrespecting others.But still,there are some who remain very polite that's why up until now they gain my respect.Well for me,no matter what success you achieve,you must remain approachable and nice.

Lastly,I am sad about the hype that Qlipoths are gaining.One of the sole reason why I prevent my last article to spread throughout networking sites is that I dont want to hype it that bad.But now,I myself do not have idea that they are already been hyping about it and to the point that they are selfishly promoting it together with their very very high tag prices.I am not against it just because I will make the deck in the future but this has always been happening every format just like what they did to Dragon Rulers,Artifact etc.

As a conclusion,I am not against those attitude of some players but I will not tolerate them to continue doing those things.Maybe,they are promoting the game based on their perspective which I myself and some others don't really like.What I can promise as a player is still to respect them because at the very least they do not give up on supporting the game for so many years.I would like to commend those players who really in love with the game.I am very sad for players who just hapenned to quit the game because of the some pointers that I have mention above.But I d believe in the saying that people change and I wish that these changes will promote friendship and sense of belonging towards the game.Again,I am just here to share my thoughts and I'm very hopeful that I can whisper the word "change" to their ears(or maybe touch their hearts? hehe).

Still,I am hoping that I can still continue building the deck and still continue to play the game.
That's all for today.Don't give up guys!
Let's respect the game we love!

Yu-Gi-Oh! and the "Regret Factor"-featuring the latest VJUMP Issues

(ArcKnight) Here in RespectYGO,our main purpose is not solely the news about the latest products and leaks about YGO which other blogs were already doing but also the advocacy of giving the much needed respect to the game we love and the environment of our YGO fans as well.
source:Yugioh.wikia.com
      Today,I will discuss the "Regret Factor" in Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.Common practice of the players in different communities was selling their old decks and cards to buy or have the more latest or stronger decks in the meta.As the game evolves,new innovations has been made by Konami.The creators made support cards for older archetypes to encourage old and quitting players to play again.For some,this is a good strategy but for those people who sold or traded their cards only to find out that it will have the much needed support cards were disappointed.The tendency,they will have the so called "Regret Factor".
       As an example to begin with,cards such as "Vanity's Emptiness" was very underrated and is treated as a mediocre card for many before.And so,people sold/traded them for very cheap prices and sometimes piled it on one of their unused cards.But as I have told you awhile ago,Konami made new innovations to find use for underrated cards before that's why they created a meta full of special summons ranging from the good 'ol "Six Samurai" up to the most over hyped "Necloth".That's why currently,since "Vanity's Emptiness" is a short-printed card and now considered as a staple for many,players were ranting to have their own copies and the so the price of this card was like 10x higher than ever before.But thanks to konami,they will reprint it again on "The rarity Collections" booster pack so hopefully,players can have easier access to these kind of cards.

Vanity's Emptiness
Here are the Reprints in this set:

Blue-Eyes White Dragon
Dark Magician
Elemental Hero Neos
Number 39:Utopia
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon
Infernity Archfiend
Felis,the Lightsworn Archer
Dragunity Knight-Vajrayana
Crimson Blader
T.G Hyper Librarian
Debris Dragon
Monster Reborn
Book of Moon
Gem-Knight Pearl
Instant Fusion
Number 101:Silent Honors Ark Knight
Breakthrough Skill
Thunder Sea Horse
Vanity's Emptiness

       The latest issue of newer archetypes that has been disregarded is the "Superheavy Samurai". On the latest VJUMP issue,it announces the 4 new "Superheavy Samurai" cards and one of them is a synchro and the 3 others were just too good that can bring this deck to top tables.Incidentally,some players who has the cards that was released during "The Duelist Advent" and "The Next Challengers" has already sold theirs because they find it unplayable.But today is different,I'm pretty sure that these same people will also be the one who will again find their old cards for the sake of the new and so on and so forth.
      There are many more archetypes who were treated these way before.Other major examples are "Chronomaly" ,"Heraldics","Gem-Knight","Koa'ki Meiru","Prophecy",and "Dragunity".
     Speaking of "Koa'ki Meiru",I had once the "Regret Factor" due to my "Koa'ki Meiru" parts sold just a month before the release of "Diamond Core oif "Koa'ki Meiru" and the new "Koa'ki Meiru Overdose".Still,if I'm going to pick them up again,they would just probably fall flat in the meta considering how fast it is right now.
Super Heavy Samurai Deity Susano-o
Gem Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli
  


 Currently,I have 2 core archetypes and 1 anime archetype deck that I'm taking care of and not gonna sell.These are the "Hermit Youkai","Spirit Beast", and "Melodious".Since Yuzu Hiragi will have a rematch against the Gem-Knight player Masumi who has received another major fusion in the form of "Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli",I'm pretty much optimistic that my "Melodious" deck which Yuzu is using will receive our much needed boost and I'm really excited and hopeful about it.At some point,I felt like Konami not only wants us to enjoy our new cards but also nteach us an ethical lesson that "we should appreciate every cards that we have just like how we appreciate our friends and family".Who knows,it can be the much needed key for us to achive success!
Let's respect Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Respect in Yu-Gi-Oh!:From Different Walks of Life"-Interview Article

(ArcKnight) "Never lose your temper;Maintain proper manners in duels.A duel is just a game,to have fun,release stress,enjoy,make friends,and unfortunately,spend cash! "

Good Day readers! I'm sure most of you are busy with their holiday trips and galore but as promised,I'm going to give you the interview segment based on our blog's poll.

The big question is(Well not totally that big)


What is Respect in YGO? How it is earned ,given and maintained?

But before we proceed to our interviews,let me first give you the results of our poll!

Source:http://respectygo.blogspot.com
  • Based on our survey,63% of our audience said that being polite to new and current players is the best way to earn respect in your ygo community.Well,I must say,there is no doubt that most of the players prefer the nicer approach from other duelists most especially to the newer ones who were just starting to cope up with the game.
  • 60 % responded that it's about encouraging players to play the game itself.To inspire and encourage players to play this game is one of my primary goals in making this blog so I agree that encouraging others is a good way to make our community big.
  • 24% likes to share ideas.There is no doubt that sharing various ideas is a nice act of encouragement.
  • Lastly,only 9 % responded about winning tournaments.For me,this game not always about winning though it is a big factor,as I have said,the most important thing here is we enjoy each other's company and we learn from our mistakes.That,for me,makes us a much much better player.
Now let us hear the answers of our Yu-Gi-Oh! friends.Three months ago,our team conducted a survey asking the same question on our poll but this time,we consulted some of the most respected and popular duelists from different walks of life.



The Question:

What is Respect in YGO? How it is earned ,given and maintained

From "Charlton Cantones"- a Yu-Gi-Oh! player and a very good Yu-Gi-Oh! Online simulation player(DN/YGO PRO)  

"In my opinion, respect in YGO is like "fame". People respect you when you won tournaments and/or consistently topping to tournaments. By winning or topping tournaments, you gain reputation and they will be interested in your YGO theories and opinions because they know you won a tournament and/or topping most of the tournaments. Some people have good theories in YGO but no one believes them because they haven't proved anything by winning tournaments. You maintain this "respect" by staying on the "top". "

From "Francisco Stephen Tan"-A Yu-Gi-Oh! ocg Player and the owner of http://duelistmercenary.blogspot.com/
 

"For me as long as you support the game(real cards) and you won't disrespecting others you earn my respect. For maintaining nmn, Encourage new/old players to support the game(real cards)"

 

From sir "John David Domingo"-A Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG player/Teacher

"Respect is given to those who support and play the real game. It is maintained by those who believe in the game itself."

From "Michael Ting"-a well known Yu-Gi-Oh! player/blog owner of http://duelinglegacy.blogspot.com/

Here's what he said.Perhaps,one of the most detailed and in-depth analysis.

"Thanks for asking me to participate in your blog post.
This topic has a very large scope to cover, but since I don't have much time on my hand I will keep it as concise as possible.

 Respect in the yugioh community is similar to respect in society. I think the one general problem with the community is that it lacks respect. Since I'm in a tcg territory now and having been exposed to TCG Facebook groups, forums and mediums of communications, I can confirm all this. Small things like how members of zodiac duelist group calling up KONAMI staff and harassing them for the recent banlist shows just how immature the society is. Other instances include players who are better at the game, or in the socially accepted group who constantly bully and call out other weaker players with wrong opinions. But the former is not to blame completely, the weaker players make things worse by making terrible rebuttals and being rude and condescending after being told they're wrong. Forums like duelist ground are a good example whereby some of the members are literal scum who contribute to yugiohs bad name.

Tbh, I don't think the society can be perfect and I don't think saying corny stuff like " if we can all learn to respect each other, the community will be a much better place bla bla " will make it any better.

You asked me how respect is to be give, achieved or attained, but I think those questions answer for themselves rather easily. However i do want to address the subject of "respecting your peer's opinion". The issue is simple, when a friend of yours theories bits of yugioh which is different from you (eg: how many cards to play in their deck, or whether he should play the 1 copy of eclipse wyvrn and dark arm in his shadoll deck) However you know that his theory is not entirely sound and has several flaws. The paradox arises whether you should call him out on it and proceed to point out it's flaws and explain what he should do to improve it. Should you "respect his opinion and acknowledge that there is player preference" , or should you debate with him to prove whose theory is more sound (because let's face it, player preference doesn't exist, there is always one best option which is right, and the players perception of player preference comes from situational plays which result in anecdotal evidence {eg: oh I resolved x card last game and it won me the game! but 2 games later, he said oh I drew x card when I didn't need it and I lost. If I had played y over x, I could have won} ) 

In a perfect world, intellectual debates on card interactions would be ideal but other factors such as friendship or emotions are at play. I think the best way is to point it out to your friend and let him absorb the facts. If he chooses to continue with his own card choices, then you have tried your best. If he acknowledges it's flaws in the future, then he has grown as a player. This way, you still give him the respect of making his own decisions and nobody is hurt. 

The above scenario might have digressed from the main point a little bit, but it does consider the relevance of respect, and you will surely come across it several times when you continue to play the game.

This marks the end of my excerpt and I hope it has provided some valuable insight" 
 
 

Last but not the least,we also interviewed the very first YCS Austraia Champion/A Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG player/organizer/judge and also one of the owners of "Yugioh Edition Singapore"(https://www.facebook.com/YuGiOhEditionSingapore) and "Duelingdays" blog,no other than "Dsummon".

It was a very big privilege to have a short conversation with him and here's what he said:

 Hmmmm, I dont specifically do anything to get players to respect me per say but just do stuff with the aim of making the game a much better game, with a good gaming environment for everyone. 

 Most asia players nowadays would know me more as a guy who helps to spread YGO news, and also helping to judge/organize major events, helping to maintain fair play, while making it a great experience for everyone.

 In respecting YGO players, i dont think you need to specifically do anything special. Just treat them with respect as you would your friend, dont take credit for ideas you didnt come up with, and that should be enough for any respectable player.

 Conclusion:

For a closing remark,we can definitely conclude that all of these boils down on one particular thought,"Respect is achieve by supporting the game we love". 

This is a game to have fun,release stress,enjoy,make friends,and unfortunately,spend cash! After all,a duel is just a game.Maintain proper manners and NEVER lose your temper.

Merry Christmas everyone and enjoy!

sincerely,

ArcKnight

A Start of a new Beginning

Hello everyone! I'm J. Welcome to my blog.

Why RespectYGO?

Respect is a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.In ygo,respect is one of the most important factor that you can get when you play the game.
Furthermore,when you play ygo,you gain friends not just Facebook friends i mean real friends(sometimes friends with benefits but oh well xD).

I decided to make this blog because I wanted to encourage starting players that money and winnings are not the only measures to consider in playing the game.It's about us.

Well I hope you follow this blog for more exciting news and discussions.

Next up!
Ill post my current deck that player'son a budget may consider.

so long

The Day before "The Day"

(J.)I'm so glad to be back!
After weeks of being sick and inactive in blogging and playing the game,I'm here to share my thoughts about the things that has happened while I'm away.

October 1st,2014,the official date of the start of the new format both OCG and TCG. But first let us talk about the OCG version.

Here are the changes:

Forbidden:
(none)

Limited:
Soul Charge
El-Shadoll Construct
El-Shadoll Winda
Star Seraph Sovereign
Summoner Monk
Sinister Shadow Games
Dark Armed Dragon

Semi-Limited:
Blackwing-Gale the Whirlwind

Unlimited:
Wind-up Shark
Abyss Sphere
Needlebug's Nest

My thoughts:

As you can see,Shadoll is badly hit and the Star Seraph Combo is broken.Soul Charge is just an overpowered card and deserves the limited status considering it has also its drawbacks.The universal rank 4 searcher named "Summoner Monk" is now back to 1 and a player can now only have 1 DAD because 2 DADs are pretty sick.Blackwing regained their second gale which is good to push the archetype a little bit on this fast paced format.Lastly,there are some random comebacks in the form of Wind-up Shark,Abyss Sphere and Needlebug's nest.Overall,the list is good so players can try newer archetypes and strategies(For those who were hit.)

Here is the second one and the moment I saw this one I was like "For real?" .Here is the TCG October 1st Banlist

Here are the changes(It's not actually a change,it's a HUGE CHANGE!)

Forbidden:
(None) Just like OCG.Maybe some sort of trend?

Limited:
Glow-up Bulb
Infernity Archfiend
Raigeki
Soul Charge
Super Polymerization

Semi-Limited:
Blackwing Gale the Whirlwind
Gorz the emissary of Darkness
Ceasefire
The Transmigration Prophecy

Unlimited:
Coach Soldier Wolfbark
Magician of Faith
Formula Synchron
Reinforcement of the Army

My thoughts:

Raigeki
Raigeki
Raigeki
Raigeki


and yet dark hole is banned? why?
Infernity archfiend is a good hit,the one I have wished the OCG has done instead of limiting summoner monk.I like the Super Poly hit tho limiting it will reduce the popularity of attribute fusions of Shadolls and heroes.Though Super Polymerization is a strong card,it requires many cards for you to play like the monster on your field and the discard that's why I think it was not hit on OCG.Glow-up bulb is surprising but time will tell if the infamous bulb will still impose a huge threat in TCG environment.The rest of the unlimited section is understandable though I found unlimiting Reinforcement of the Army odd.It's an okay list aside from the fact that it has Raigeki in it.



Closing Remarks:
So far,I still can't decide on what will I build on OCTOBER format.Right now I am practicing my old Prophecy Deck and I'm trying to make it adopt on a Qliphort heavy Format.Hopefully,I can play again on our local and official tournaments.
Right now,I am focusing on the new look of this blog.Hopefully,I can implement it on the third week of October.Stay tune for more articles!

Thanks for following!

Arcknight is now back with a new deck!

(Arcknight) Hello guys! Good to see you again. It's been a long while since I last posted here in this blog and I'm really excited to feature new post and I am also planning to continue writing about the meta (Full of Zodiac beasts) and about my new deck "Ancient Gears".

(OCG)Qliphort Invisible? or Qliphort Invincible?

(Arcknight) In behalf of all the OCG players in the Philippines and other asian countries, allow me to express this warm gratitude to all the makers of the game we love: Yu-Gi-Oh! especially konami for giving us today a very early christmas gift that a lot of players will surely treasure. After weeks of waiting bombarded with epic leaks and updates,the day we long for has finally came. Yes,October 11,2014 is the official OCG release of Booster SP:Tribe Force.This moment,players who are relying on their exclusive official stores will now get their favorite archetypes:"Necloth","Spirit Beasts" and "Hermit Yokai" first hand.But before someone notices the relativity of the title of this post and my introduction,I will tell you that this is not a Tribe Force article.

The Rise!

Together with the rise of information regarding the Booster SP was also the advent of massive leaks all about the cards from the november booster issue:The Secret of Eternity(SECE).As I was expecting, there will be many archetypes revived at the same time,stronger decks that will become stronger.Speaking of strong archetypes, have you ever heard of this new "Qliphort" card? Well if not, here's the card that caught my attention.Prepare yourselves for the invisible plane "Qliphort Alias"!

Qliphort Alias
[Pendulum Scale 1 ATK 2800/DEF 1000]
Monster Effects:
(1) You can Normal Summon this card without Tributing.
(2) If this card is Normal Summoned without Tributing or is Special Summoned, its Level becomes 4 and its original ATK becomes 1800.
(3) If this card is Normal Summoned/Set, it is unaffected by activated effects from any monster whose original Level/Rank is lower than this card’s current Level.
(4) When this card is Tribute Summoned by Tributing “Qliphort” monsters: You can target 1 card on the field; return that card to the hand. Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this effect’s activation.
Pendulum Effects:
(1) You cannot Special Summon monsters, except for “Qliphort” monsters. This effect cannot be negated.
(2) All “Qliphort” monsters you control gain 300 ATK.



As you can see, it packs the standard pendulum and the first three monster effects of "Qliphort Disc".What makes this card different (aside from its artwork) was its 4th monster effect.It has the "Monarch-esque" effect that can create massive combos and at the same time,control the field.In addition,it can also trick the opponent using its "cannot response" effect via chain link and SEGOC.So what are some examples of these combos?

Hype-em up!

Consider this scenario:
Are you familiar with the "Trump" combo? for the benefit of the doubt,it is a combo that requires "Entermate Trampolynx" and "Qliphort Tool" to create advantage and thin your deck.

"Trump" combo

Just right after you search with tool's effect,you can immediately pendulum summon the "Qliphort" monster you just added then trigger "Entermate Trampolynx" effect to bounce tool to your hand then search again.With "Qliphort Alias",you can do the search not just twice but three times!

Consider the previous scenario but instead of having only "Qliphort Tool"  and "Entermate Trampolynx", you will add "Saqliphort" or a random "Qliphort" monster.(Barring "Apoqliphort Killer").
(In case you already have a number of "Qliphort" monsters face up on your extra deck,you will only need "Entermate Trampolynx" and "Qliphort Tool".

with "Qliphort Alias"

Just after you search twice using the "Trump" combo, you can tribute summon "Qliphort Alias" to return your tool once again to your hand then activate the bounced tool once again to search!

"Qliphort" still , as of now will always been one of the tier 1 decks this october format. With new cards that is continuosly added to their arsenal, we can say that this deck can really be one of the tough contenders in today's meta. So after all of this and the emergence of the overhyped "Necloths", what do you think will be their status in the future? Are Qliphorts will become invisible? or they will remain and rise and will be held aloft "Invincible"?

Only time will tell.

Stay tune for the interview article.Respect,love and Play the game we love!

note: For the previous guide about the NECH Qliphorts,please refer to the earlier article here:

800/2000
Card Effect: You can only use the (2) effect of "Jinzo-Jacker" once per turn.(1)This card is treated as "Jinzo" while on the field or in the graveyard.(2)You can tribute this card:Add 1 "Jinzo" monster from your deck to your hand except "Jinzo-Jacker".Then,you can reveal all set cards in your opponent spell and trap card zones,and if there are any trap card(s) revealed,you can special summon any number of "Jinzo" monster(s) from your hand up to the number of trap card(s) revealed.

Here we have the searcher of the archetype.In addition,if your opponent has set cards on his spell and trap card zones,you can summon the "Jinzo" monster you had just added with "Jinzo-Jacker's" second effect as well as your other "Jinzo" monsters in your hand if your opponent reveals up to that same number of revealed traps! In short,you can now get rid of the normal "Jinzo" that were stuck in your hand and swarm  a lot of these humanoid machines that are unafraid of traps!(barring solemn warning off course).In other words,since this archetype gets their themed searcher,the consistency of getting your "Jinzo-Returner" and "Jinzo-Lord" will increase.The tendency,you can accomplish your combo much faster than ever before! Overall,this is a great card with good effects to boot adding the fact that it has also a great artwork which we all loved from the "Jinzo" clan.

Jinzo-Returner Rarity-Rare

Dark/Machine/3
600/1400
Card effect:
This card can attack your opponent directly. When this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 "Jinzo" from your Graveyard. Destroy it during your End Phase.

-----

Before,the most popular combo with this card is by sending copies of it by the effect of "Future Fusion" which is now forbidden.As of now,there is no consistent way yet on sending this card to grave and his revival effect can also miss the timing so it cannot activate when used as a tribute to summon your "Jinzo" unfortunately.Still,it is a great card and future support will dictate the usefulness of this card and effectivity.

Jinzo-Lord rarity-Super rare
Dark/Machine/8
2600/1600
Card Effect:This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by sending 1 face-up "Jinzo" you control to the Graveyard. Trap Cards cannot be activated and the effects of all Trap Cards on the field are negated. Once per turn, you can destroy all face-up Trap Cards. Inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each card destroyed by this effect.


Brace yourselves to the boss monster of "Jinzo" archetype.It has all the effects of a regular "Jinzo" with an additional burn effect.What I just notice is that I think the card is made to work with "Jinzo-Returner" but unfortunately they have a problem on how they are worded.First,Jinzo-Lord can sends a "Jinzo" to special summon itself from hand.Sad to say,it doesn't indicate that it can be any other "Jinzo" card but you can only offer a regular Jinzo card or the one who is treated "Jinzo" on the field which "Jinzo-Jacker" accomplishes.The attack and defense of this monster is good but if compared to other boss monsters nowadays,it falls short.In this kind of meta,Monster effects is reigned supreme but since "Jinzo" can only bring pain to Trap dependent decks which is uncommon nowadays,it will be hard for the "Jinzo" deck player to cope up with the meta.

Equip Spell card

Equip only to "Jinzo". While this card is equipped, the equipped monster's effect does not negate the effects of its controller's Trap Cards. When this card is removed from the field, destroy the equipped monster. This card's activation and effect cannot be negated.
----

Here we have the only spell support for "Jinzo".The card is only made to tell players that this material is used to control "Jinzo".Yes,it can prevent your trap cards
from being negated but it doesn't offer any advantage to jinzo even the much needed Attack boost.Overall,I like the story of the card and it is a very old card so it is understandable that it lacks the strong card effect that can boost the deck's playstyle.




Conclusion:
For the conclusion,I wanted to commend the new support cards that will be released on the next set.It was well designed and will suit to different player's preferences.I like the story of the cards and it opens many opportunities for player's who wanted to make their preferred deck.
Jinzo is indeed a benchmak in YGO History.That's a fact!
And whoever stand against the Jinzo clan will face the wrath of the shocking psychokinetic charge!

Thank you for respecting YGO!
