Yugioh Card Summoner

Today I didn’t even bother going to the arena to watch more of the adventuring tournament. I’ll go tomorrow, as it is the finals, but today, let’s not.

Instead, I began the day by doing another scouting trip to the States. Didn’t learn too much, but I did catch them talking about my match with Unika. Which means they somehow knew about it. Which means they have a spy in the stadium.

I’ll try to get permission to appraise everyone watching the finals, and hopefully I’ll find someone with the Power Structure title. If someone like that is there, they are likely the spy.

But what I really want to know is how they get that information to the states. Do they have their own phones? And if they do, how haven’t I picked up the mana used for it?

Or does Power Structure somehow allow you to communicate with others in the structure? … Actually, the artificial elf did talk to a magic device that definitely wasn’t a communicator. So why would he use it? Was it just to throw off any sort of spyware I might have slipped in, while he actually used Power Structure to tell the owner of the skill what had happened?

That does sound plausible. And if it is true, I really want to see what all this Power Structure can do.

But if I catch a spy, or ideally multiple, I might be able to get the info on how the skill works.

And yes, I did fly through random walls for some time. But again, I didn’t find anything that could be their mystery device. Nor did I find the void uranium they stole.

But the good news is that they weren’t planning another invasion of Smorog. At least based on what I heard. They probably don’t need to since they have the void uranium, and it isn’t like I took their entire weapon arsenal back. They still have plenty of quality weapons, even if they lost some of their best.

I’ll try to go there and check on the situation every now and then, but admittedly I kind of have something more important to deal with. Timeline erasure is more important than a country possibly starting a war.

Yes, I’m opening more today.

I did Crossed Souls yesterday, so today I’ll do ten of Clash of Rebellions. And probably 10 of Dimension of Chaos as well.

But let’s get to the packs.

Spoiler

CORE 1

Performage Stilts Launcher; Kyoutou Waterfront; Deskbot 005; Igknight Gallant; Retaliating "C"; Tamtam the Melodious Diva; Bird of Paradise Lost; Mandragon; Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon

[collapse]

Well, nothing new here. A second copy of Flare Metal Dragon is nice. I’ll be handing it over to Alice.

Next pack.

Spoiler

CORE 2

Risebell the Summoner; Aroma Garden; Performapal Silver Claw; Black Metal Dragon; Performage Damage Juggler; Back-Up Rider; Aromage Cananga; Performapal Drummerilla; Kozmo Sliprider

[collapse]

Kozmo Sliprider is nice. Spell/Trap destruction on summon is good, as is floating into a different Kozmo when destroyed. And it is a spaceship. Always good to have options when it comes to those.

Next pack.

Spoiler

CORE 3

Igknight Squire; Ignition Phoenix; Brilliant Spark; Black Metal Dragon; Secret Blast; Raidraptor - Singing Lanius; Aroma Garden; Brilliant Fusion; D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc

[collapse]

Ignition Phoenix is fine. The attack and defense boost is fine, and the destroy 1 to search 1 is what Igknights do.

Raidraptor - Singing Lanius is generally a free special summon.

Brilliant Fusion is busted. Even for my use. Since it uses materials from the deck, it will just allow me to freely summon any Gem-Knight fusion monster I have. Since the deck for me is this strange zone where cards kind of don’t exist, and where Pack Opener can just make new cards from.

And D/D/D Oracle King d'Arc is great. Turning damaging effects into healing is really useful. Especially in a deck that likes to burn you.

Next pack.

Spoiler

CORE 4

Ignition Phoenix; Raidraptor - Singing Lanius; D/D Pandora; Performage Trick Clown; Performapal Silver Claw; Performapal Drummerilla; Igknight Squire; Opera the Melodious Diva; Igknight Champion

[collapse]

Nothing new here, next.

Spoiler

CORE 5

Performage Flame Eater; Pianissimo; Wavering Eyes; Igknight Margrave; Opera the Melodious Diva; Raidraptor - Return; Performage Stilts Launcher; Sky Dragoons of Draconia; Kozmo Farmgirl

[collapse]

Performage Flame Eater can negate effect damage.

Next pack.

Spoiler

CORE 6

Raidraptor - Fuzzy Lanius; Risebell the Summoner; Tamtam the Melodious Diva; Keeper of the Shrine; Opera the Melodious Diva; Raidraptor - Return; Performapal Drummerilla; Chicken Game; Kozmotown

[collapse]

Nothing new here, next.

Spoiler

CORE 7

Performage Flame Eater; Trick Box; Ferret Flames; Raptor's Gust; Secret Blast; Back-Up Rider; Balance of Judgment; Wavering Eyes; Igknight Burst

[collapse]

Igknight Burst can return 3 cards the opponent controls to the hand. Which can be good in a Pendulum deck.

Next pack.

Spoiler

CORE 8

Performage Damage Juggler; Balance of Judgment; Side Effects?; Risebell the Summoner; Performapal Drummerilla; Black Metal Dragon; Trick Box; Rank-Up-Magic Raptor's Force; Dogoran, the Mad Flame Kaiju

[collapse]

Nothing new here, next.

Spoiler

CORE 9

D/D Pandora; Brilliant Spark; Bird of Paradise Lost; Performage Hat Tricker; Secret Blast; Performapal Silver Claw; Side Effects?; Mystery Shell Dragon; Toon Cyber Dragon

[collapse]

Toon Cyber Dragon is fine. It is just a Toon version of a Cyber Dragon.

Next pack.

Spoiler

CORE 10

Performage Trick Clown; Brilliant Spark; Igknight Margrave; Rank-Up-Magic Raptor's Force; Performapal Silver Claw; Kyoutou Waterfront; Performage Flame Eater; Secret Blast; Igknight Burst

[collapse]

And the last pack has nothing new. Shame.

Well, luckily there is another set and 10 more packs to go.

Spoiler

DOCS 1

D/D Swirl Slime; Performage Plushfire; Dark Contract with the Gate; Raidraptor - Wild Vulture; Graydle Impact; Dr. Frankenderp; Shuffle Reborn; Majester Paladin, the Ascending Dracoslayer; Samurai Cavalry of Reptier

[collapse]

Graydle Impact is fine. Dual sided destruction is usually not the best, but with Graydle Alligator being a potential target, and the search you get during the end phase, it is just fine.

Shuffle Reborn is just a worse Monster Reborn.

Majester Paladin, the Ascending Dracoslayer is nice. Searching during the end phase of the turn it is summoned, and being able to summon a Dracoslayer Pendulum from the extra deck are both good effects.

And Samurai Cavalry of Reptier destroys non-Pendulum monsters before the damage step. But sadly only when attacking. If it was always, this thing would actually be quite good.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 2

Super Soldier Rebirth; Raidraptor - Skull Eagle; Majespecter Fox - Kyubi; Dr. Frankenderp; Dark Contract with the Swamp King; Deskbot 006; D/D Necro Slime; Pot of The Forbidden; D/D Berfomet

[collapse]

Deskbot 006 is fine. It is a Deskbot. Gaining attack for each face up Deskbot in the extra deck is pretty cool though.

D/D Necro Slime is great for D/D/D fusions since you can banish it and other materials from the GY for a fusion summon. And you don’t even need Poly.

And D/D Berfomet is … meh. While the level modulation effect is nice, since D/D Berfomet can’t change its own level, it makes it a lot more limited in what it can do.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 3

D/D/D Contract Change; Superheavy Samurai Drum; Dark Contract with the Gate; Super Soldier Rebirth; Super Soldier Soul; Pot of The Forbidden; Graydle Impact; Raidraptor - Fiend Eagle; D/D/D Rebel King Leonidas

[collapse]

Raidraptor - Fiend Eagle… Why do you suck so much!? You could have done something like adding 2 differently named RUMs from deck to hand. Or maybe special summon a Raidraptor from the deck. But all you do is some burn damage. Considering how difficult you are to summon, you aren’t worth it.

D/D/D Rebel King Leonidas on the other hand is nice. Sure it ‘just prevents burn damage’, but that is something you often have to deal with in D/D/Ds.

Spoiler

DOCS 4

Performage Mirror Conductor; Raptor's Ultimate Mace; D/D Necro Slime; Super Soldier Rebirth; Kozmo Lightsword; Dr. Frankenderp; Superheavy Samurai Soulclaw; Graydle Split; D/D/D Wave King Caesar

[collapse]

Performage Mirror Conductor sucks. It is another attack and defense swapper, and those just aren’t good.

And D/D/D Wave King Caesar is an okay insurance policy if you think your opponent is about to destroy a bunch of your monsters. And the Dark Contract search is also nice.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 5

Dark Contract with the Witch; D/D Necro Slime; Performage Mirror Conductor; Grand Horn of Heaven; Raidraptor - Skull Eagle; Super Soldier Rebirth; Majespecter Tempest; Contract Laundering; Radian, the Multidimensional Kaiju

[collapse]

Radian, the Multidimensional Kaiju is a Kaiju. And the tokens it can make are quite nice. I mean, cheap 2800 attack tokens. What more could you want?

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 6

Igknight Veteran; Raidraptor - Wild Vulture; Frightfur March; Super Rush Headlong; Performage Mirror Conductor; Super Soldier Rebirth; D/D Swirl Slime; Majespecter Cyclone; Pendulum Area

[collapse]

Majespecter Cyclone is a pain when playing against it. But pretty good when playing Majespecters. Okay, it isn’t as bad as some of the other Majespecter cards, as destruction is less bad than returning to hand. Generally. As the cards Majespecters return to hand are usually extra deck monsters.

And Pendulum Area is a boring way of stopping special summons. It is good, but quite situational.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 7

Superheavy Samurai Transporter; Grand Horn of Heaven; Dark Contract with the Swamp King; Super Soldier Rebirth; Psychic Blade; Igknight Cavalier; Super Rush Headlong; Majespecter Unicorn - Kirin; Majesty's Pegasus

[collapse]

Igknight Cavalier is an Igknight. I really can’t say anything else about any of them, as they all do the same thing. Just have a different level and scale.

And Majesty's Pegasus doesn’t help the fact that Majespecters are a pain in my ass. Yes it is good. Not crazy, just good.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 8

Igknight Veteran; Dr. Frankenderp; Shuffle Reborn; Superheavy Samurai Soulclaw; Super Soldier Soul; D/D/D Contract Change; Graydle Split; Graydle Cobra; D/D/D Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok

[collapse]

D/D/D Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok is nice. Special summoning from the GY and banishing the opponent's stuff.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 9

Superheavy Samurai Soulclaw; Dark Contract with Errors; Dr. Frankenderp; Deskbot 006; Dark Contract with the Swamp King; D/D/D Contract Change; Kozmo Lightsword; Kozmoll Wickedwitch; Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force

[collapse]

Nothing new here, next.

Spoiler

DOCS 10

Graydle Alligator; Deskbot Jet; Dr. Frankenderp; Superheavy Samurai Thief; Dark Contract with the Swamp King; Superheavy Samurai Transporter; Raptor's Ultimate Mace; Graydle Cobra; Raidraptor - Fiend Eagle

[collapse]

And nothing here either. Not a great way to end this pack opening, but it is what it is.
