Great ^___^ I can't wait for this rpg to get going, just two more gundam pilots, keep the signups coming, Raul Winner will not be piloting Sandrock, so I need someone who will pilot it.

Personally I would ditch the Spirit Reaper and swap in another D.D. Warrior Lady, or at lease a Cyber Jar, that would at least increase your chances of getting better monsters out. It all just depends on your type of playing. I really can't say much except that.

I was kinda going for an Earth-Themed deck, but like I said, it may not last the night, I may tear this deck apart and rebuild my Light Deck. Oi ve, the hardness of building an Earth deck.

[IMG]http://www.cardhaus.com/images/upsv-000.jpg[/IMG] JINZO PSV-000 Dark/Machine/Effect Level 6 ATK/2400 DEF/1500 Effect: As long as this card remains face-up on the field, all Trap Cards cannot be activated. The effects of all face-up Trap Cards are also negated. [COLOR=darkblue]Well well... Doesn't this guy look familiar?? He should, either you have one and use it in your deck, or you've had one played against you. Either way anyone just has to stare in awe at Jinzo. I mean the guy was released in the 4th set of YGO, and I can't even remember how many people owned with this card. But now he's taken a backstep to other cards, but he still is used a lot. I digress. Jinzo is one of the major hitter card for most decks, simply because not only the fact that he's lvl 6 and a 2400 ATK, but also because of his effect, but I also need to mention that Witch Of The Black Forest can search for him, so that means getting this bad boy out faster. Now I know so many people can get confused with Jinzo in so many ways. Let's just clear things up here. 1. Jinzo [b]cannot die by trap hole, Bottomless Trap Hole etc.[/b] 2. Jinzo can be killed by Horn of Heaven, Solomen Judgement, and by battle, as well by Raigeki and Dark Hole, but one really annoying card was a simple common that was released in Legacy Of Darkness; Double Snare. Okay now back on track. Jinzo has a lot of good qualities, but with the release of K-Glider in english, his bad qualities have now come through more vibrantly. Sadly he has only a 2400 ATK, which K-Glider can sucide run him and live, when he negates all traps, that includes yours, so you really are screwed. Also, if your opponent brings out Summoned Skull or even Dark Ruler Ha Des, you're in deep crap. Thankfully though, two sets later down the road, we will get an equip card that powers up Jinzo and unlocks your Traps, I might just have to go into discussion about that card later on. For now I give Jinzo 4.9/5. He's sooo close, but he really has some bad sides to him too.[/COLOR]

Okay I just made this deck so I have no real way of testing it and plus I might not even go ahead and use it cause with Christmas rolling around I think I might get a bunch of Dark Crisis, if so and I get K-Glider, Reflect Bounder, and D.D. Warrior Lady I'm going back to my Light Deck, so really I just want to showcase this and get some suggestions.

OOC: I meant to add this in the first post but it was extremely late last night when I finally got this up. I really don't want everyone's char to have been approached by Raul or his associates, most of the pilot candidates (except for Annie's char) died when Une attacked Winner's factory. Anyways, now for my sign up. [COLOR=darkblue]Name: Alexander (Alex for short) Age: 17 Description: [url=http://www.animeshrine.com/gallery.php?series=warofgenesis&image=9]Minus the swords[/url] Personality: Alex tends to be the odd one out or rather he prefers it. He has a cold, rough-around-the-edges side because of what happened to him, but he also tends to have a naieve childish side when he loosens up around people he really trusts. Though he can come off as a jerk most times Alex always sticks up for the inoccent and helpless, he also has a spot for kids. Bios: [i]Raised on earth, Alex had it all. Parents, money, and friends. But on Alex's fourteenth birthday he and his parents went to VX-28791 just for fun, plus Alex had begged to go to a colony for a long time. After arriving on the colony Alex and his family visited all sorts of places, like the docks for all the famous spaceships throughout all of Earth's history, the vast theme parks, and then finally the museum of Mobile Suits he even got to see replicas of the original five gundams. But tragedy struck Alex, as they were leaving the museum a small riot had ensued outside the museum steps, and a peacekeeping force had been sent in, except they didn't keep the peace. They simply slaughtered all of the people on the steps of the museum, including Alex's parents, somehow though the boy had managed to hide from the shooting, but he soon found his parents lying in a pool of their own blood, their eyes glazed over and with paniced looks on their faces. Alex ran over to them and sat next to his now dead mother and wept. The commander of this team was none other than Zachary Une, he was checking for any survivors so that he could kill them and hide all evidence, he found the young boy weeping next to his dead mother, he cocked his rifle and aimed at the boy's head, but Alex had heard the gun clicking, he turned around, looked the man dead in the face and said,[/i] "If I ever see you again I swear I will kill you." [i]And with those words Une aimed at the boy's leg and fired a single shot, the pain was immense and Alex passed out. A few days later Alex came to in the hospital, his leg had been saved but his parents were dead. After leaving the hospital Alex struggled to make a living for himself, he soon found a job working for a mechanic, who just happened to be an expert teacher too. But when he turned sixteen the mechanic had to close down his buisness and go into another profession. As Alex wandered from job to job he met another teen about his age named Chris, unfortunately he was a very sickly friend, he had some sort of disease that couldn't be cured yet, and he only had a few months at best. On the month of Alex's birthday Chris died and Alex had to bury his best friend on the day of his birthday when he turned seventeen. Now at this young age Alex had enrolled for military training, and is about to leave his house when Une's forces attack VX-28791.[/i] Gundam: Wing Gundam [img]http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/katoki/lineart/xxxg-01w-busterrifleshield.jpg[/img][/COLOR] OOC: Also, if you want a background on the Marlblanc incident just PM me and I'll PM you back with the details.

[COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1][i]In the year After Colony 306, the original five gundam pilots have taken up residence in the L3 colony vicinity except for Quatre. And for now it would have appeared that everything was at peace, but everytime something is at peace, something is always causing trouble. A man by the name of [u]Zachary Une[/u] has taken action and has amassed an immense standing army and an even larger Mobile Suit force and a large space fleet as well. He has done this so that he may conquer all of the colonies that do not bow before him. As the year progresses into AC 307 Une has captured or destroyed 10 colonies. Now on December 10, AC 307 Une has focused his attention onto Colonly [u]VX-28791[/u]. A little history on Zachary Une before this happened; the man is a brilliant military strategist, though his peacekeeping unit was held by a peacekeeping tribunal for the cause of the [u]Marlblanc incident[/u]. But he was luckily not held accountable and was released. But that was a large mistake for the tribunal court to do because as soon was he was released Une started a global Coup` de Tat and he proceeded to murder the [u]U.E.C. President[/u]. As soon as that task was comepleted he then declared himself a global dictator. Once this happened representatives from all the colonies showed up at the U.E.C. Headquarters on Mars since the terraforming was comeplete. Here they discussed a plan of action against Une, several representatives suggested evacuating two colonies and then dropping those colonies onto Earth, in an attempt to destroy large amounts of land, but that idea was quickly killed on the U.E.C. floor before the representatives. Then finally amongst the bickering of the beaurocratic old men a young blonde haired man of about 21 stood up and took the floor, here is what he said,[/i] "Ladies and Gentlemen of the U.E.C., I Raul Winner, grandson of Quatre Winner suggest that we make five ultimate mobile suits. I'm talking about building five Gundams. We then send these gundams to earth, of course we give them our full support that is." [i]People were surprised by this turn of events, usually the Winner family, since the war had resorted to making items of peace etc. But this idea was greatly accepted and the plans for the gundams was passed. The plans were headed by Raul, since he had such a vast amount of money. But bad luck found Raul Winner, just as the last gundam had been finished Une's forces attacked his factory, but thankfully Winner loaded the gundams into his personal transport ship, which managed to outrun Une's ships. But Winner knew he couldn't hide in space for long, so he headed for VX-28791 and has been in hiding there, this is why Une has turned his attention on the colony, which in all faces is a neutral colony and has been so because of the fact that its the biggest commerce colony.[/i] "This adventure has just begun, no turning back. This is the time to fight! It doesn't matter if you thought this would be easy, it isn't." Here are my requirements. Name: Please be realistic. Age: 15-17 Description: A picture please Description of Personality: Minimum of 2 paragraphs Short Biography: Minimum of 2 paragraphs Gundam: Wing is mine These are the availible gundams and here are their pictures Deathscythe: Annie's gundam [img]http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/katoki/lineart/xxxg-01d-scytheshield.jpg[/img] Heavy Arms: Metatron's Gundam [img]http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/katoki/xxxg-01h.jpg[/img] Shenlong: Arcadia's Gundam [img]http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/katoki/xxxg-01s.jpg[/img] Sandrock: G.D. Ryoko's Gundam [img]http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/katoki/lineart/xxxg-01sr-heatshotels.jpg[/img] And here is mine, which is Wing. [img]http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/katoki/lineart/xxxg-01w-busterrifleshield.jpg[/img] I hope you all enjoy this. Okay for those who want a background on Zachary Une here it is. His background really isn't that well known, records though supposedly indicate that he is in fact the son of the infamous Lady Une who served under Treize Kushrinada, but once he was killed and peace followed she became the leader of the protectors. But Zachary is a total maniac, he has delusions of grandur and people bowing before him and following his every whim. He truly is crazy.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=darkblue]Okay, here's the next card essay that I have been well meaning to get up but have been busy with other things.[/COLOR] [img]http://www.cardhaus.com/images/303-017.jpg[/img] MFC-071 Breaker The Magical Warrior Dark/Spellcaster/Effect ATK/1600 DEF/1000 Effect: When this card is successfully Normal Summoned, put 1 Spell Counter on it (max 1). Increase the ATK of this monster by 300 points for each Spell Counter on this card. Also, you can remove 1 Spell Counter from this card to destroy 1 Spell Card of Trap Card on the field [COLOR=darkblue]Okay, can we say "Ladies and Gentlemen start your drooling!" This card has sooo many possibilities to be abused, I mean first off he has a 1000 Defense meaning Witch Of The Black Forest can search for him. And then there's the wonderful little effect of the Spell Counter, I can say Mystical Space Typhoon that can smack you around. I mean sure most people won't even remove the counter, because a 1600 ATK just doesn't have that much staying power, a 1900 hitter does. But personally I use Breaker as a 1 hit wonder, but if I have a deck for him alone then I'd be sure to use three Pitch Black Power Stones just so he can have some staying power. My overall rating is a solid 5/5. He's a staple and very necessary for most decks. What I would love to see is a deck totally based around Breaker. Well for next week I will be doing Gilford The Lightning so be sure to watch for that.[/COLOR] *Grumble Grumble* Stupid Cardhaus didn't have the English Breaker picture. >_____<

[COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1]Personally I do not like Pegasus, he just really creeps me out with his personality. I like Marik and his Yami form, they both will do whatever it takes to win. But Yami Marik is simply cool, I mean yes he does want to plunge the entire world into darkness and kill Yugi but I can totally understand why. I mean yeesh, I would be a little irked if I had to wait for some pharoh to arrive again, and until then I had to stay underground and never socialize with the outside world. *shudder* That's just creepy to me. But anywho, I think Marik is simply cool because of his phycoticness and his determination to win, and plus he has a pretty neat deck.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1][i]Aidian was slashing like mad through all of the demons his blood screaming through his veins, as one fell, another appeared. He landed but kept his wings flared to their fullest extent, this in turn semi-blinded the demons and with one swipe he took out five. As he glanced about Aidian noticed that the others were handling these deomons with ease, he decided to deal with Belial, he surveyed the room but could not find him. He then caught sight of Belial standing in front of the tavern's door, Aidian bolted for the door but a demon once again got in his way, he plunged his sword into the creature and it fell to the ground in a pile of flaming dust.[/i] "Belial! You're mine!!!!" [i]Aidian ran at the smirking demon with his sword at the ready, but as he did he didn't see Belial's fist coming at his stomach. Just as Belial made contact Aidian's sword dug into his cheek and tore a large piece of skin stretching from his cheek to the back of his ear lobe, Belial reeled back in pain howling, but Aidian fell to the ground, his sword falling to the cobblestone and clutching his stomach. As Aidian stood up he looked around and stared at Belial.[/i] "Aidian, you fool, now you will die by my servant's hands." [i]At those words a large black, horned demon appeared and flared its wings out.[/i] "Oh shit, this is not good." [i]Aidian grumbled as he spat a little blood out of his mouth, he glared at the demon who was in the way of his sword, and Belial had gotten away.[/i][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]6) Monster Reborn.[/COLOR] Might as well have a revival card somewhere, I'd go into description but everyone here knows what the card does so meh.

[COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1][i]The battle was getting more intense, the Alsidies guymelef had picked up the very same semi-truck it had fallen over and hurled it at Van, but as the large truck hurtled towards Escaflowne it brought its sword up in front of its face and the the truck split as it hit the larg sword.[/i] "You think throwing stuff at me is going to stop me? You're greatly mistaken." [i]Van brought Escaflowne's sword up in to eye level horizontally and charged straight for the Alsidies guymelef, but just as he was within the distance it took to destroy one of the energists located on the Alsidies' shoulder it ducked and shot forward into Escaflowne's stomach and sent it flying back at least a good one hundred feet, which sent Van reeling into the park where Allen and Hitomi had run off to. As Van managed to get Escaflwone back up he saw Allen on the ground fighting off some more of Zaibach's soldiers, he stepped into the clearing and kneeled down.[/i] "Allen, get on now!" [i]Allen nodded and jumped onto Escaflowne's hand, as he was brought up to Escaflowne's shoulder Van looked at him.[/i] "Where's Hitomi?" [i]Allen pointed off ahead of where he was, the fastest way to find Hitomi was on foot, but he couldn't risk Escaflowne getting found, he needed to lure them away.[/i] "Allen, you go catch up with Hitomi, I'll keep these guys busy." [i]The two men nodded and Allen jumped straight off of Escaflowne's shoulder, landed on one knee and then took of in a mad run, just as he did so the Alsidies appeared, as did two more.[/i] "I see you brough some friend's for me to play with, well this time I'm not gonna play nice, time for you to..." [i]Just at that moment the pendant appeared again in Van's mind and he jumped backwards, just in time too, a tank squadron had appeared and was starting to bombard the guymelefs. Van getting a little paranoid about what these things were and what they were capable of transformed Escaflowne into the dragon from and took to the air, only that would be a worse mistake, as he would soon find out.[/i][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=firebrick][SIZE=1][i]Brant grinned, he was tired, but he needed to move around. Satell slid down onto her bed and started to drift off as Brant walked out the door, he knew that he shouldn't but it was the only thing he could think of doing. As he stepped out into the main part of the town he looked up and saw the many moons of Mars, it may look like and feel like Earth but the moons gave this place away, he ran his left hand through his hair and walked out to a hill and sat on a rock that jutted out, this place was peaceful, but it was extremely violent, this place needed order instead of some sort of anarchy. The sun rose quietly and the sky turned a beautiful pink, then purple, and then the very top of the sky that was not being kissed by the sun was a deep dark blue. It was wonderful, a soft wind wisped through and brushed against his skin and ruffled his hair, his eyes glistened as he found himself smiling. He stood back up and yawned, as he did so he treaded quietly back into the town.[/i][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1][i]Aidian growled mentally, he couldn't believe this guy was able to dodge all of his attacks, this just wasn't natural. The man chuckled and floated away effortlessly.[/i] "You truly are naive of your full powers. I pity you." "Just what the hell do you mean!?" [i]The man looked at him and grinned.[/i] "Why do you think some people consider you an angel? Because we Draconians are a hybrid of when an Angel and Dragouret, you have superhuman strength, and you have some powers of the angels. Didn't your parents tell you??" "My parents, I have no idea who they are." [i]The man looked a little taken aback, he then grinned and flicked his hair back and turned away.[/i] "Well, why should I fight you when you don't even know the true extent of your powers, plus I think your friends are in over their heads." [i]At that moment Aidian shot downwards towards the tavern and saw the group coming under seige, this was not good, suddenly he felt different, he looked around and the creatures seemed to be backing away in terror and covering eyes, his body was emitting a bright white light, he drew his sword to his side and began to attack the demons of hell, as with each blow that hit a demon it exploded into a pile of dust and disappeared. He would save his friends from this menace, at that moment he caught sight of Belial, he was hiding under the bar and covering his eyes because of Aidian's power, Aidian snorted, he would deal with him later.[/i][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1]Okay, well here's my third essay, it was a close tie between Masked Beast, Spell Canceller, and Diffusion Wave Motion. Anyways, here is the card.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [img]http://www.cardhaus.com/images/lon-001.jpg[/img] LON-001 The Masked Beast ATK/3200 DEF/1800 Fiend/Ritual This monster can only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Magic Card, "Curse Of The Masked Beast". You must also offer monsters whose total Level Stars equal 8 or more as a Tribute from the field or your hand. [COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1]Okay, this card was released as one of the well awaited cards in Labyrinth of Nightmare (Besides Gemini Elf and Magic Cylinder). Anyways, being a Fiend/Dark monster this is a pretty good card, plus with the 3200 ATK, he's not to be taken lightly, the thing though is to get him out quickly, that's probably why you didn't see many of him run in decks except ones which could greatly support it, but Masked Beast soon was kicked out of the spotlight with several cards, Gemini Elf, Magic Cylinder, and several cards from Legacy Of Darkness like Dark Ruler Ha Des, Injection Fairy Lily, Yata Garasu, and several other cards, but in my book I think he's a pretty good card, especially if you want to run a major Fiend Deck, but you probably want to run Ha Des, just to give your deck some protection. All in all I give him a solid 4/5, he's to good to get a 3.5, but not that great that he deserves a 4.5. Anywho, I'll be doing Breaker in a while.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1][i]The swords unlocked in their power struggle and Aidian found himself wheeling backwards trying to stop himself, or some way to slow himself down. As he did so he grimmaced in pain, the man had kicked Aidian directly in his side with hard enough force that his skin was already bruising. Aidian looked over at the smirking man and spit out some blood from his mouth as a small wind picked up and rustled his hair. This time Aidian brought his sword up for a ramming attack, if he couldn't injure the man with minor injuries, he'd have to kill him. As his sword aimed right for the man's heart Aidian suddenly stopped midway, it was like some invisible force was holding him still, or something like that. This was not at all good, just then the man started to laugh, and Aidian snapped his head up, his hair rustling and his eyes glaring with anger.[/i] "Tch, such powerful eyes, I just might have to cut them out and make them my trophy. You're so young, you haven't even begun to tap into your true potential." [i]Aidian looked a little confused, but the man continued to grin.[/i] "You have no idea what I'm talking about do you? Well, fight me and I'll explain! Now en garde!" [i]He released Aidian and the two started to fight once again.[/i][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1][i]Van grinned, this guy actually thought his cloak would save him? As he concentrated again, he thought he could see the full image of the guymelef, but suddenly, instead of seeing the entire melef, he found out that he could only see the outline of it. This was scary, if he couldn't fully see the guymelef, then he was screwed![/i] "Crap, crap, crap!! I can't see him!" [i]Van started to move Escaflowne around a little paranoid. He still couldn't believe he couldn't fully see it! At that moment Reno had managed to sneak behind Escaflowne, he grinned silently, the famous Ispano guymelef, Escaflowne was now blind on the Mystic Moon, he readied his left arm, locked onto the control chamber and fired. Just at that moment Van mentally saw Hitomi's pendant again and it pointed behind him, he whirled around and ducked just as the liquid claws shot at where Escaflowne's control chamber was. Van sighed, stood back up and charged at the guymelef, he brought the sword down upon the melef, but he missed and only hit the cloak, it quickly backed away, its torn deep purple cloak falling to the ground. Reno cursed aloud as he found himself falling over a semi truck that had come to a halting screech because of the battle that had broken out. Thankfully though, the driver had gotten out and was safe. As this was going on Van wondered if Allen had gotten Hitomi somewhere safe and if he was heading back for Scherazade, and if he did come help Van, would it be in time?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/i]

No, Duelists of the Roses was not good, I mean half of the good stuff had become crappy etc. What you definetly want to get out of all the GBA games is World Wide Edition: Stairway Of The Duel Destined, it's the best GBA game out there, I might also suggest the PC game, its pretty cool too.

Okay this is a card I decided its worth talking about right now. We probably all got this card but who knows. [img]http://www.cardhaus.com/images/sdj-041.jpg[/img] SDJ-041 [b]Scapegoat[/b] Quick Play Magic Card Effect: When this card is activated, you cannot summon any monster in the same turn (including Flip Summon and Special Summon). Place 4 ?Sheep Tokens? (Beast-Type/Earth/1 Star/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position on your side of the field. The tokens cannot be used as a Tribute for a Tribute Summon. [COLOR=darkblue]Well, the second card of my choice and already I?m going to the animals! *Crickets chirping.* Okay, tough crowd. Anyways, this card was released in the Joey Starter deck, and for a Starter Deck Card I was amazed that it hadn?t been released earlier as a promotional card or something like that. But anyways this card has sooo many ways to become abused and is very noteworthy of burn decks. If you like burn decks and run three Cannon Soldiers or you have an Unfriendly Amazon in your deck this card is a must have, but these are definitely needed for Cannon Soldier fodder. But for everything good there is a downside, if your opponent has a Tyrant Dragon and a Fairy Meteor Crush equipped, you might as well put your head between your legs and kiss your butt good bye. But yeah, I mean this card can be so well abused in rusher decks too. I mean get out a Jinzo or something and then play Scapegoat and then United We Stand onto Jinzo and you have a monster with a nauseating attack power bonus. But enough milking the goat, no pun intended. This card has quite a few big drawbacks, first off is the fact that you cannot use the tokens as tributes for higher level monsters, the second drawback is that if you don?t summon a monster before activating this card you?re kinda screwed. Really I think Scapegoat is a good card, it just is a pain in the butt for most decks. I really suggest most people either don?t use it or if you?re feeling lucky, put it in your sideboard. But if you are running a Cannon Soldier burn deck, then put THREE of these little gems in your deck. My overall Rating: 3.5/5. The reason is stated above.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Snodin [/i] [B]Doesn't that card say you can return one card and return it to its owner's hand? Doesn't that mean you can return an opponent's card to his/her hand too? [/B][/QUOTE] [COLOR=darkblue]No, sorry I highly doubt you can do that to your opponent's monster field, K-Glider is one of those "See, when I die I send one of your, my controller's monsters back to your hand." cards, its a very wierd version of Axe Of Despair, see originally people thought you could tribute your opponent's monsters for Axe's effect but you can't its been said so by Upperdeck, so no K-Glider cannot do that to your opponent's field. Anyways, for the next essay I will be doing an essay on Scapegoat around Tuesday, Thursday evening or around noon, so be sure to watch this thread then. Untill that time just keep discussing K-Glider, but please keep it tame, or I'll have to ask higher authorities to intervine.[/COLOR]

Umm.. I posted up a poll for this thread, sorry if that wasn't clear. Its a seperate thread called "Poll for next weeks card essay." Again sorry if that wasn't clear enough.

[COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1]Okay, I've decided to make a thread doing essays of cards, I'm not gonna guarantee that I'll have one every week but still. Okay anyways back onto the subject, this week's card is a well wanted Light Type Dragon that will be released in Dark Crisis, Kaiser Glider.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [img]http://www.cardhaus.com/images/304-051.jpg[/img] KAISER GLIDER Light/Dragon/6/2400/2200 This card cannot be destroyed as a result of Battle with a Monster that has an equal attack strength. If this card is destroyed and goes to the Cemetery, return 1 Monster on the Field to its owner's hand. (borrowed from Edo) [COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1]Okay, basically this card has some decent pros and cons, but the pros far outweigh the cons. I mean one of the big pros is that you can ram this bad boy into your opponent's Jinzo and guess what, Jinzo dies but Glider stays out on the field saying "Nyeah Nyeah!!". The second great pro is that if he's killed he can return 1 monster on your field to your hand, so lets say you've got Glider out and something else strong out too and then a Cyber Jar. Well your Glider gets nuked and then you get his ability, take Jinzo back to your hand and then wait for your opponent to bring out a big hitter and then ram it into Cyber Jar, pretty funny when you've got your Jizno in your hand and your opponent's Jinzo was nuked by Glider. But I digress, that's only one scenario, there are probably other situations that I'm not mentioing. Okay, onto the cons, the bad thing is he is not searchable, so you cannot get Glider into your hand fast enough, another thing, he's a Dragon. Can someone say Buster Blader or Dark Paladin? Other than that Kaiser Glider will be one of the more sought after cards in Dark Crisis, especially for people who like Light Type decks. I give this guy a solid 4.5/5, he's good but still has some setbacks. Next time I'll be having a poll if no one minds voting for the next card.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1][i]Van, Allen, and Hitomi breathed a little easier as they sat on the train, those guys were definetly Zaibach, but why didn't they chase them onto the train? Van was really wondering this when suddenly he looked out and saw a Zaibach guymelef zooming right alongside the train, his eyes widened in terror. "Not here, for God's sake not here." Van pleaded mentally, he couldn't believe it, thankfully the train was moving faster. Thankfully, the train pulled to a halt at the station and everyone bailed out and left, the three ran as fast as they could back to the park where Van managed to get to Escaflowne without a problem. As the control chamber cover closed Van could feel himself once again merging with Escaflowne, this would be a great fight. He wetted his lips with his tounge and grinned, he unsheathed the guymelef's sword and brought it to a fighting position and it extended to its full length. The Zaibach guymelef landed and made one of its liquid metal swords and charged at Escaflowne at full speed, but its attack was blocked and sparks flew as the two weapons clashed and Van looked down and saw Allen getting Hitomi out of the scene. That would make things a lot more easy for Van, just then the guymelef brought its hand down onto what would be Escaflowne's stomach, and this sent both Van and Escaflowne hurtling backwards out of the park and into the street where cars were zooming about, but now they were stopping and trying to get out of the way, and people were watching in awe. The enemy melef took flight and got onto the top of one of the buildings, but Van could still see the melef as it shot out at least five liquid shots at Escaflowne with its free hand, but the shots missed and hit above Escaflowne.[/i] "Dammit! I'm too confined here with these huge buildings in my way!" [i]At that Van transformed the Escaflowne into its Dragon form and for some reason the jets kicked in and Van found himself shooting up into the sky faster than ever, as he came to a peak with the boosters he deactivated them, unsheathed the sword and preformed a nosedive with Escaflowne, but as he did so he transformed it back into its guymelef form and the two guymelef's weapons clashed again. This would be a long battle.[/i][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1][i]Van walked into the small cubicle and started to try on a pair of these jeans, they felt a lot different than most of the pants he'd ever worn. As he slipped on the first pair he realized that the waist didn't fit, he dropped those down on the floor and tried on another pair, this time they were too big, he sighed and threw the pair of jeans onto the ground, this time the pair of jeans fit perfectly, he stepped in front of the mirror and looked at himself and checked out the pants, they fit perfectly. Van quickly took the pants off and threw them over the door and they landed on top of Hitomi, she grumbled a little.[/i] "Here, those fit." [i]Van finally said as he walked out with his regular pants on. Allen was still grumbling as he walked out of the door, he handed Hitomi the pants that obviously fit and he left the others in the dressing room, next came the shirts.[/i] "Hmmm...Well its getting close to fall, so I guess you guys need some long-sleeve shirts." [i]Van and Allen followed Hitomi over to a stand with a bunch of long-sleeve shirts, she started to pick some up but Allen stopped her and picked up one he liked, Hitomi picked it up and looked at the size.[/i] "I don't think you want an Extra Small shirt, maybe an Extra Large will work, now pick out some shirts of that size okay?" [i]Allen nodded in agreement and went about that task, Van found a shirt he liked and looked at the size, it was a Large, that should be big enough, he started to look around for a few more shirts when he thought he heard an explosion, he snapped his head around and looked out the doorway, he could have sworn he heard a guymelef attacking, but it was nothing. Allen looked like he was about ready to bolt out the door and head for his guymelef. Van felt the same but he didn't go running out the door, he continued to go through shirts. Once he'd gotten enough shirts, as did Allen the three of them checked out, but Allen and Van didn't have any money.[/i] "Don't worry guys, my parents gave me a credit card, I can buy this for ya." [i]Hitomi winked and handed the clerk a plastic card, the young clerk swiped it in a machine and the machine whistled and rang and then clerk smilied.[/i] "Thanks for shopping with us, we hope to see you again." [i]Hitomi thanked the clerk and the three of them walked out of the store.[/i] "I'm hungry, you guys hungry too?" [i]Hitomi asked, Van felt hungry enough he could eat a horse, he nodded as did Allen. Hitomi chuckled and started off down the sidewalk. As the trio was walking down the sidewalk they walked through a small group of young men about Van's age, he glanced again at them, they looked like an average group of boys but something was amiss about them, one of them looked back at Van and Allen, his face seemed to contort and then it hit him, he whispered back to one of the others. Van then realized something, they were in danger, he walked up to Hitomi and motioned for Allen to follow.[/i] "Hitomi, Allen. I think we found our Zaibach soldiers, no don't look just let's make a quick detour for the train station, I know we might not make it in time but if not we can hide and then make a break for it." [i]Hitomi and Allen nodded, just at that moment Hitomi motioned for them to follow her, they made a turn and went for another train station that would head back for Hitomi's home area, as they did the group of boys began to follow them but then made a detour for some where else, as they arrived at their destination one of the boys reached out with a hand and touched an invisible door which then opened and they stepped in quickly and the door shut. They were definetly Zaibach.[/i][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1]My area tends to change everytime a new set is released and its very annoying. But right now I'd have to say that most people I know are running Tribe-Infecting Virus because of the monster elimination capabilities, Skilled Dark Magician and Skilled White are getting used a lot for Dark Paladin decks, I'm currently using a Skilled White because of his element, I needed a decent Light type hitter and Thunder Nyan Nyan is too much of a gamble to me, Also Breaker hits a few decks, but people are reverting back to Heavy Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster, I prefer Breaker over MST simply because he's a monster and his effect cannot be negated, also if you use a Pitch Black Power Stone in conjuction to him you can wipe out up to four M/T cards, it maybe slow but still its pretty decent. Anyways, I think that once Dark Crisis is released I'll see more people going for either hand control decks, burn decks, or running highly improved beatdown decks. I'll go and try and make a Light deck with quite a few of the newer monsters from Dark Crisis. I mean I say that Hand Control and Burn decks will become more of a norm because of Vampire Lord, Reflect Bounder, and Judgement of Anubis just to name a few, that's why I think Barrel Behind the Door/Trap Of Curse Eraser will become a must for a lot of decks, I know I'll be running two Barrels still. I still though must say that Dark Magician decks are very behind the Japanese ones, I mean come on, if Konami and Upperdeck really want to get some things popular they should at least put more cards in games as promos, like give us five or four cards in a game as the promos. But oh well, that's just me. I think though that Jinzo will become a duelists best friends in those long hard duels against decks that have Judgement of Anubis *shudders*.[/COLOR][/SIZE]
