@gnatsol:

This pastebin is pretty good for both keeping up with meta and learnging/ relearning some basics. As for an Archfiend deck, the closest thing would be Burning Abyss, a TCG exclusive archetype based on Dante's Inferno.

I'm gonna split this into multiple posts cuz I suck at formatting. We'll now move on to the effect monsters, spells, and the more specific extra deck cards.

The best of the three effect monsters, can be used as the entire tribute for any Nekroz monster.

Prevents the negation of your ritual spells while she's on the field, also can recycle any banished Nekroz monsters.

Searches a spellcaster type nekroz monster when used as a tribute (Valk or Unicore). Also acts as a foolish burial when bannished.

One of the two
One of the two "Ju" monsters, can search either a ritual monster or spell when summoned. Run at 3, no exception.

The second
The second "Ju" monster, can only add a ritual monster when summoned. almost always run at 3, though some people go for 2.
Recycles a ritual spell and searches most of the Nekroz ritual monsters. Run at 1 because that is currently the most allowed.

One of the main combo pieces of the deck, when used together with Kaleidoscope it can allow you to summon a unicore and search any other Nekroz ritual monster or spell. Run at 2

This, or any other level 12 fusion or synchro monster can be used with Kaleidoscope to summon a Uncore and a Valk, or any other group of Nekroz monsters whose levels add up to 12. Run 1 or 2 level 12.

I'll end with the current deck I'm using. Most of what I'm doing is pretty standard, the only thing that's kinda out there is the one Moulinglacia ( the first card at the top).

In the past I've made a few threads about the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG, but I mostly just talked about the basics of the game. As I continue to fall deeper into this particular hole, I've decided to make a series of threads discussing the current meta game, with each one dedicated one of the current top decks. With the introduction out of the way, I'll introduce the current top-dog: Nekroz. As a ritual based archetype, Nekroz have a big emphasis on searching, with almost every card able to search out others. We will start by looking at the ritual monsters themselves, each of which can be summoned with any of the three Nekroz ritual spells.

Based on Fabled Valkyrus, this is is probably the best card in the deck as it's a battle stopper and draw power, all on a 2900 attack body. Should be run at 3, though some people seem to prefer 2.

Based on the ice-barrier dragon Brionac, this is the main searcher of the deck and should be run at 2, because that's the most the ban list currently allows.

Based on Fabled Unicore, the second best card in the deck because of its level and the ability to recycle any nekroz card in the grave. Should always be run at 3.

Based on the ice-barrier dragon Trishula, it's effect kinda speaks for it's self. Opinions greatly vary on how many to run, as it's one of the few actually bricky cards in the deck, but I personally like 2.

Based on the Ice-Barrier dragon Gungnir, used mainly for it's ability to protect a monster on the field. A lot of people don't run this at all, but I like having it just in case so I do use 1.

Based on Mist Bird Clausolas, searches your ritual spell. However, we already have 4 other cards we will get to later that can do this so he's best run at 2.

Based on Ally of Justice Catastor, the second worst Nekroz card. Almost never run outside of weird budget builds.

Based on Ally of Justice Decisive Armor, this is the big beater of the deck, and also functions as a hand trap that boosts a Nekroz monster's stats by 1000. Should definitely be run at 1.

Based on Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth, it's got pretty art work, but that's about it. I've never seen anyone run this card, as it is easily the worst card in the archetype.

Next we will take a look at the three ritual spells, all of which have an effect that, if you control no monster, allow you to banish it and one other nekroz card from your grave to add another ritual spell to your hand:

The strongest of the three spells, Kaleidoscope lets you send monsters from the extra deck and can be used for the summon of multiple Nekroz ritual monsters .Tun at 2 or 3, I personally like 3.

The most basic of the three spells, just strait up summons a nekroz ritual monster from the hand using tributes from the field or your hand. Run at 2

I have a hard time believing that this latest Hogan thing was an attempt at character assassination because honestly, who doesn't already know that Hogan is kind of a scum bag? All this story did was confirm something everyone already new/ suspected and it doesn't make it ok for Gawker to involve themselves in a blackmail scheme.

Can anyone tell me what's going on with makuranodanshi? I'm kinda enjoying it, but it's got a very strange premise.

@beyond_recall:

Would you care to link to some of these studies that you claim prove there's a link between violent media and violent behavior? Just because a few studies show things one way doesn't make it so. Here are two different studies, one claiming that video games do not cause violence and one that says they do. Which one is to be believed?

So this happened, it kinda seems like people are blowing the whole thing out of proportion.

Just re-watched the last few episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds, and despite the fall off in quality post dark signers, the last duel is pretty great and has some pretty good music.
