(Arcknight) Hello there RespectYGOers! I apologize for the short delay, as promised here is a short tournament report featuring my "Ancient Gear" deck and my new tech card (Which I will discuss at the end of this article so please be advised lol).

(OCG) SP Format: Tier Impact [Part 1]

(Arcknight) Finally I'm back after 5 weeks of blogging hiatus.Well today,we will going to conduct a quick analysis on how the newest and hottest SP Format will affect the top tier decks of today.

Recently,we have been fazed by huge amount of spoilers and leaks that were hard to digest.First on our list was the shocking "July 2015 Forbidden & Limited List" that taught us on how to react on something with no emotions.To make the long story short, the list came with the surprising "No Change" tag on every corner of it. But before somebody pull their champagnes out, Konami announced that they will be having minor changes that will be implemented starting July 1st up to the end of September.The one I am talking about is the Set Block/Rotation or  most commonly known as the SP Format.

What is SP Format?
