Will "Fiendsmith" refine the Meta soon? | New Archetype Discussion

Greetings! Today, I'm going to talk about the newest theme revealed in INFINITE FORBIDDEN called "Demonsmith" / "Fiendsmith." It's a LIGHT Fiend theme composed of 8 cards on its upcoming debut and this archetype has a great potential!

Will this refine the metagame or will it start off as an....engine to something else? Buckle your seatbelts and let's dive in!

Is it TIME for new "Harpie" support? - Future Support Discussion

Lately, I have been checking some of the reprints in QUARTER CENTURY CHRONICLE Side: Pride and I noticed that "Harpie" got some important reprints. Then, I realized that "Harpie" never had any follow-up in OCG or TCG from LINK VRAINS PACK 2 aside from "Cyber Slash Harpie Lady","Toon Harpie Lady", and "Harpie's Pet Dragon Fearsome Fire Blast."

I have seen reprints here and there and I wonder, is this them giving us a hint supporting one of the popular archtypes of the DM era? What kind of support will they get to be on par with the current meta? Let's discuss that in this featured article!

Notice me, "Tenpai"! - My 1st Place "Tenpai" Deck Profile

Hey ya'll! It's me again, ArcKnight. I am finally back with another deck profile/tournament report featuring one of coolest OTK decks I have tried which is "Tenpai Dragons" where I won 1st place in the recent OCG ranking. What's interesting is I didn't have one of their key OTK cards in my extra deck.

Without further ado, let's talk about this new theme "Tenpai", and why it deserves our attention.

"No Diviner? No Nadir? No problem!" | 1st Place "Voiceless Voice" Deck Profile and Strategy Explanations by ArcKnight

Hello fellow Voiceless Disciple! It's me ArcKnight, a Voiceless Voice player since its debut in PHANTOM NIGHTMARE.

This new XYZ in LEDE is insane but...

Hello everyone! I'm back with another article. I decided to use my after shifts to do a quick article while thinking about life at 3am. This reminds me of the new generic rank 10 that was revealed two days ago called "Technalogue Valdrath". 

I wonder which decks can take advantage of this at the moment and why we should get this card in LEGACY OF DESTRUCTION (LEDE). Let's discuss!

Here's how this new Illusion card in LEGACY OF DESTRUCTION can help "Chimera" | Single Card Review

"Answered Prayers?" - New "Silenforc"/"Voiceless Voice" card review (LEDE)

Hiya! Arcknight here. I'm so glad that my work deliverables today are complete which means I can finally react on the two new "Silenforc" / "Voiceless Voice" cards in LEGACY OF DESTRUCTION!

How effective is "Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion" in this format? | Strategy Discussion

One of the reliable ways to deal with the opponent's plays is by using hand traps. Unlike regular traps set on the field or field negations, hand traps are quite unpredictable as they dwell in the player's hand cards...hidden..until the perfect timing arrives. In today's metagame, a lot of effects involve moving cards from the graveyard to a different place, and there is a perfect "haunted mansion" that is ready to cater guests. (*Door screeches*)

Does that ring a "Belle"? Well, well...allow me to introduce you to "Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion."  Enter the mansion and let's begin discussing. (*Thunder*)

What's the best way to counter "Kashtira"? | Counter Strategy Discussion

Greetings duelists! ArcKnight here and today, I'm sharing some best practices to counter "Kashtira" from the POV (Point-of-view) of a "Kashtira" player like me. "Kashtira" has been one of my go-to decks when joining big events in OCG as it's very versatile and it counters the meta as an anti-meta strategy. It was my bread and butter when I topped (4th) in this year's Duelist Cup. While the recent OCG and TCG forbidden & limited list nerfed "Kashtira" real hard, Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel introduced the remaining "Kashtira" cards this week which are already starting to create a huge impact. 

So, what's really the weakness of "Kashtira"? Let's talk about this now before papa "Fenrir" sees me.

Let's get down to business.

Do you have what it takes to become a "Goblin Biker"? | New archetype discussion - PHANTOM NIGHTMARE (PHNI)

Long ago, a theme called "Purrely" was created. Everything was fun and light until "Purelily" became "Expurrely Noir". Your heart is suddenly filled with rage as you're unable to get rid of it. It gets even worse as your friend tells you "just draw the out". You tried searching for answers on the internet and it ended getting negated by "Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring", just like your hopes and dreams.

A few months later, an elite group called "Goblin Biker" was formed which specializes on stealing XYZ materials. Filled with determination, you decided to join the group and pay the miscellaneous fees. "Do you have what it takes to become a 'Goblin Biker'?", said Goblindberg. "Aye aye", you uttered. The training begins and your first task is to meet your squad. 

Welcome to your journey on becoming the newest "Goblin Biker" in PHANTOM NIGHTMARE. Please head to the meeting room!
