@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.

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.

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:

@golguin:

I"m glad you mentioned DmC, the articles that came out of that were awful.

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.

Oh boy, I sure do hate living in Texas.
