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!

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.

Hello fellow Voiceless Disciple! It's me ArcKnight, a Voiceless Voice player since its debut in PHANTOM NIGHTMARE. Most of you have seen the several articles I wrote regarding "Voiceless Voice" and I really appreciate the great feedback you've been giving so today, I'll share another write-up featuring a more budget alternative build that could work and it's my recent 4-0 deck that won ranking yesterday.

Haven't gotten your playset of "Diviner of the Herald" or maybe you're still lacking the extra deck pieces needed for "Nadir Servant"? This is the article for you. (Silent wink)

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!
