Justice is served. Have you ever trired playing around with Dino-Hero yet? You were interested in the build just wondering if you ever got the chance yet. I have not. It struck me as too inconsistent compared to pure HEROs. |

Well hopefully the new HERO stuff will correct that. Assuming we get it this year.

Maybe.
I don't see it that way.
It has won me duels in the past and testing the new stuff has made it much better.

Care to face off against my pure HERO deck then?  OR Do the 10 singles in rated like I did, see what it's w/l ratio is. That will also help establish consistency. I maintain the fact that it doesn't have as much consistency as the pure HERO build. |

Lets move this to the HERO Thread then. On topic : During a 10 duel streak on DN with my Dino-HERO Deck (went 8-2 with it) this happened:  apparently the not reading disease is contagious. |

Here's another set from me! Since it's the end of the format and thus DN will soon reset the ratings, I decided to play for fun in Ranked (read: Ben Kei OTK)  My first win since starting this streak, had a couple of rough patchs (blast those MSTs and Forbidden Lances, you can't be stopped by Trap Stun).  Battle Fader says Red Light. No Necro Gardna says Green Light. Effect Veiler says Yellow Light, but Ben Kei still makes roadkill out of Blaster.  Almost got me there, but fortunately, there's an (Tr)App (Stun) for that. Deck idea looked cool, so I went for a rematch, but lost because Swords just made the Whale go poke 1200 each turn and I had no real outs to that with the hand I got. Chill fella though, he aims to take that deck as far as he can.  All I know is that he had Myrmeleo fetch a Bottomless Trap Hole, overlaid that with Fire Hand to make Blackship to take out tokens without triggering Supply Squad, and that as soon as I went to BP, he sent his monster away, wrote gibberish and lost 8000 before quitting. What an odd "ragequit".  Despite a minor misunderstanding, I broke through the field of Scrap Dragon, Scrap Twin Dragon, and Reborn Tengu (backrow was Bottomless Trap Hole) after he pummeled me down to 100 LP. Let this be another shining example of a classic trope: never leave your opponent barely hanging on, or you're just asking for a comeback. Also a very cool fella too. Just returning to ygo a couple weeks ago apparently, dunno much about Pendulums just yet, but I did let him know of Supply Squad (he was very happy about that). Meeting these chill folks restored my faith (by a teensy bit) in DN. Anyways, that's all for Ben Kei Sunday, tune in next time for... the new format! |

I have been testing it @ 2 in several of my decks. Sams are liking the extra lv 4 search, Chaos HERO can get really vile, Light turbo is faster now.
Just wish Konami would announce the HERO Structure, I need stuff form that deck badly.

First ranked game of the format for me: Archfiends! I won in three turns, against X-Sabers that only had monsters (like Emmersblade). Foolish Heiress, fetching Roar. Normal Emperor, banish Heiress pop Emmers, play Palabyrinth, attack for 2000. Next turn he summons another Emmers, connects directly (though I could've banished it with Prison). My turn I use Roar, bring back Emp, banish Roar to pop Emmers #2, attack for 3500. Next turn he just sets a monster, while on my turn I use the second Roar that I drew last turn to do as before and attack for game. EDIT: In between that one above and the one I'll share later was a moment of... misfortune.  So this happens, and as you can see, I basically have this in the bag. This was the result after him going first and doing all THAT on the first turn. I of course just want to make the impression that I'm helpless. He made a series of plays that resulted in summoning Michael, me surviving with Fader and prematurely saying GG before realizing the folly of that statement because of the JD he did draw (the rest he milled). Nuking the field, he loaded the deck to 19 cards and gained 5700 LP. I eventually get him down so his only answer was to nuke the field again and lose his other attacker. If the card in his hand wasn't useful or big enough, I survive, he mills to empty and I pass to win. But it was Raiden, who was guaranteed to mill 2 Lightsworns, but he'd only gain 200 anyways and I'd still survive. FORGETTING that, I scooped it up, and I beat myself up for forgetting that. It was my only loss so far. At least the next one proved to be a spirit-lifter.  Archfiends can plus for days. I may just play this deck a lot this format. Squad is awesome! I wonder if I should revert to using Pandemonium for even more plussing. |

 Duel ended with the other guy going AFK. Not happy with getting a win this way. He was running HEROs and I was running Meta Killer. Set cards were 2 Skill Drain, Solemn Warning, and EEV in that order. Listen if you face off against me and can't win either admit defeat or play out the duel. You won't lose any face by doing this. By going AFK and forcing me to call an admin I am judging you 9 ways to Sunday. |

Wow, guy couldn't take a loss like a good sport. Here's some more with some from the last format:  This was a while ago so I vaguely remember what happened here. But I was basically up against Vanity.dek and I first pierced through a Photon Sanctuary token, then about to deal a lethal blow soon after.  Here was a fail regarding those dreaded DN hands. At least I could try and stall out draws with Squad. Can't remember what happened of this.  Six Samurais didn't really have much to go off with. I stole Kizan, poked with him and Heiress, next he gets a Kageki but I also steal it. |
