Sneak Peek yesterday got me lots of cheapo cards. Only RR cards I managed to get were 2 Pain Lanius (which is decent) and 1 Booster Strix (which is fairly terrible). No-one of where I was polled Skip Force or Ultimate Falcon.
Friend of mine was lucky and pulled the currently most expensive card, Ghost Reaper & Winter Cherries.
I'm not/wasn't that excited about SHVI, tbh. I didn't really care for the sneak peeks because there's nothing too enticing in the set, for me. I never usually run hand traps either, so I'm not looking for a GR&WC.
I never said anything about him selling his card. Just that my friend is a lucky bastard and that I was mostly just sh** out of luck. Looking at prices currently, looks like Ultimate Falcon and Skip Force are super cheap though.

Oh no, I wasn't insinuating that you were auctioning it off for him, either. I'm just saying, I'm not looking for one, so I wouldn't go open some packs to find it.

My friend was actually looking for the new Blue-eyes cards. And me of course for the Raidraptors. Plus I always enjoy the sneak peek tournaments.

So, J's dropped out. On the hunt for a replacement again!

Just recorded Trov's Bro and TRB, their match will be up soon. For now, have Kill vs his bro:

It's just Yugioh, a card game. Considering your affinity with Pokemon, I'm assuming you caught on to the Yugimons bit but this has nothing to do with Pokemon.

Unless you're really fussed about spoilers, everyone check here for your next match-ups. Badnik, you've got Dan, my mate who's filling in for powerrave, so just tell me what times you can do in the next 7 days and I'll pass that on to him. Everyone else should be able to contact their opponents. If you can't, just pm me. Video for Dan vs Eco will be up whenever.

I've meanwhile been testing around with Gishki... This was my second turn. I think this is decent.

How have you gone about doing that? Is it consistent/good against the meta?

How I did that? Pay a lot of LP while having Gishki do their Gishki things; keep summoning Zielgigas over and over again. then when I'd get low enough on LP, work towards having multiple Zielgigas on field if I don't have that already. Number 35 then boosts everything I have due to the difference in LP.

Honestly I think this can be pretty good vs the meta. Zielgigas is already larger than most of the stuff that Kozmo and PKBA summon. Monarchs with their fieldspell can be an issue, but I can manage. Also Zielgigas can, if lucky with his draw, spin away cards without targeting. So that's pretty good too.
Consistency... Well it bricks less than Monarchs lol. I can usually go around making Zielgigas on my first turn, but I'm still not 100% pleased yet, so I'm still trying out a lot to see if I can make it any better. Case of the screenshot, I figured I'd show what I am working on now. Gishki always been a favorite here.

I don't brick that often with Monarchs :P But, that's an interesting combo. I love how the more complex and anti-meta decks become, the more they are open to the stuff the meta was formed around (Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder, etc.)

They are known for bricking though.
And that's often the case yeah. I usually go after backrow first, also running generic backrow removal in this. But I don't know if this Gishki is really to be counted as anti-meta. It's just doing aggressive plays like Gishki usually done, just with some newer tools mixed in.

Were you inspired by me playing this in the tourney?  :) I love Zielgigas.
I would suggest trying an Atlantean engine. It not only gives you another way to OTK (and draw out pesky backrow) using prince and a water, but it can also search out your all important gishkis through dragoon searches.

I've always liked the Gishki. Felt like it would be the better choice now to rebuild and use competitively (note I never run meta decks). I'm not sre how I feel about Atlantean though. I can see the synergy, but they would limit my access to Arc Light and overall rank 4 some. This is pretty much why I go with Red Resonator. Quickly sets me up for Arc Light as well as rank 2 plays.
Also, I main deck the level 10 Kaiju here, which actually works pretty well.
