The Psi-Blocker Solution

December 2nd, 2010

Psi-Blocker is a great card in a lot of different situations. You can read about the basics of using it, here. Since you won’t always know which cards your opponent has in his hand or on the field, and there won’t always be a single card that completely ruins your strategy, it won’t always be obvious which card you should name with Psi-Blocker’s effect. If you’re playing Psi-Blocker in your Deck, it’s important to have a basic plan for naming cards against each of the most popular Decks.

Building Your Own Red Nova Dragon/Jack Atlas Deck

November 18th, 2010

With the release of Starstrike Blast, a lot of your favorite cards from the Yu-Gi-Oh 5D’s animated series have become available for you to use. One of the best and most powerful of these cards is Jack Atlas’s Red Nova Dragon. In an earlier article, we explained just how potent and powerful the Dragon can be; now it’s your chance to build a deck that lets you use it to its biggest potential!

First of all, if you’re going to be using Red Nova Dragon, the most important step in securing your victory is Synchro Summoning a Red Dragon Archfiend. Without that, you have no way to summon your MVP! Thankfully, Jack has a lot of experience with summoning both Red Dragon Archfiend and Red Nova Dragon, so let’s look to him for some tips.

One of the best ways to quickly and easily get Red Dragon Archfiend on your side of the field is the common combo from the TV show: Special Summon Vice Dragon, Normal Summon Dark Resonator, and just do it! This uses two of Jack’s favorite and most commonly used monsters to surprise your opponent with a fast Synchro Summon that seemingly comes out of nowhere!

Jack Atlas is all about power, and his Power Giant is the perfect card to show it!

Power Giant is an easy-to-Summon Level 6 monster with 2200 ATK. You can send a weaker monster from your hand to your Graveyard, to Special Summon Power Giant straight to the field. While it’s on the field, Power Giant comes with the extra effect of stopping all effect damage that you would take while it’s attacking or being attacked.

It's pretty much a giant rock robot that rocks.

Tune In to Tuning

November 11th, 2010

Decks built around Yusei’s Quickdraw Synchron took fourth place at YCS San Jose, and second place at YCS Philadelphia.  We already talked about the power boost they get from Formula Synchron, but that’s not all that’s in store for Quickdraw Duelists in Starstrike Blast!  They also get an incredible new Spell Card: 1 that can only be compared to Duel-defining Spells like Charge of the Light Brigade.  Behold the power of Tuning!

Add 1 "Synchron" Tuner monster from your Deck to your hand. Then send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard.
