I have been testing with different Machiners build for as long as I'd played.
Instead of the common gadgets with solidarity build.
Or royal decrees.
I played with Geartown variants and it had proven to be quite stable.
But still , too much of dead draws and inconsistency leads me to tweak the build from time to time.
And here should be some of the underused cards I had used and tried for as long as I can remember.
Scrap Recycler.
Mills Fortress when summon for easy Machiner Force/Gadjiltron Dragon revival.
Recycling back 2 Gearframes at times to draw one is kinda fun.
Shredder.
Discarding Fortress/Gadjiltron Dragons to destroy particular monsters is great.
I had killed lots of BF-Armor Masters with it. LOTS of them.
Dark Coffin.
Tornado of the Wastelands.
with
Double Cyclone.
Malevolent Catastrophes.
Did I mentioned I play Geartowns?
Ally Genex Birdman.
Tune with Gearframe into Black Rose with Geartown/Coffins on field.
or
Tune with Cyber Dragon into Scrap Dragon.
Target Geartown and target opponent's spell/trap.
Special summon Gadjiltron.
Deep Sea Diva.
For 8 stars synchro.
Stardust or Scrap Dragons.
Quick-Attack Scarecrow.
Better than Battle Fader as it is a Machine.
Drop it with Fortress to special summon Fortress.
Blocks OTK.
Can be recycled by Pot of Avarice.
Machiner Peacekeeper.
Pot of Duality.
Trap Stun.
Main weakness in Geartown variants.
Geartown got miss timing easily.
System down sucks.
I had NEVER play Gadgets and I will NEVER play Gadgets.
And
I had NEVER lost to Gadgets.
There is never a perfect build.
But there is what we called luck.

Sunday, July 25, 2010
Respect.
I was normally known as Cookie in various sites and forums for years.
I started Yugioh around Feb this year , the time just before chinese new year.
It has been half a year since I joined , and I had already started to learn a lot.
And since I move out from my hometown ,
I can finally spend more time in dueling and started to know more about other players.
A lot of duelist had started blogging since then.
And back then , I used to view other blogs.
This includes Neuxcharge , DuelingDays and to my surprise , the end of the Gaijin Duelist.
but the return of Only the Duel brings me a lot of inspiration to learn more about dueling.
And also the fellow bloggers , HDLam and LimGQ... helps me to learn about the different meta and conditions in Msia.
There are still a lot to name.
You can easily find them.
And these true bloggers , had really brought inspiration to a lot of new-born yugi-bloggers now.
As you see , including me.
Fame is not what they were seeking for.
What they need to do , is just share a little piece of idea they have to the environment.
Sharing is caring. =)
-
I was always outgoing.
And was always considered CRAZY in dueling.
Ya , even in tournaments with LOTS of pressure around.
I love it.
But what really brought me to this level is all about respect.
People will respect you if you respect others.
Everyone was a newb once.
But who cares.
Different people have different attitudes and personalities.
So expect to see different things around.
Why care about others?
And actually , my title says it all.
Respect.
-
Let's get back to it.
Being new in a card game was really tiring.
Especially when the card game was like 5 years+ old.
And with the rulings.
I would really rather play Pokemon.
LOL.
Getting back to real life.
Fun playing with Soliel and Karl today.
A bit bored with my Machiners.
I had been playing with it like when i started?
I need MORE casual decks!!!!
Which means more spending. = (
But I will still stick with my Machiners in competitive dueling/tournaments etc.
Tried to use Sol's Dragunity/Cyberdark deck.
But i was too lazy to read on the new cards.
And so I pass it to Karl which he had a lot of interest in playing it.
Lots of options.
I can feel the fun just by watching it.
And since finally I have internet access at my workplace.
I can finally settle down and do my 'reading'.
And I do not need to wonder what my opponent is doing or asking the effect of a card.
AGAIN.
Playing with different players can really help you.
Experience is important.
Learn to use cards , thinking for combos.
Read cards , hand advantages.
This is not only about a simple card game.
-
Hmm , and this would be my final post with lots of random rants about my life.
Would be updating daily with random ideas and thoughts about Yugioh.
Rather write about my life in my personal blog.
Who wants to know about my activities when they were busy with theirs?
But still.
Tourney reports maybe.
Links to other worth reading blogs too.
Do not hesitate to find me in locals.
I would be friendly enough to duel you.
Till then.

Girlfriend.
*Laughs at title*
What if suddenly , you finally met the partner of your life...
The person that you finally believe that will bring you happiness...
Or let's just make it simple.
Your girlfriend.
And I believe that this question had sometimes been bothering some duelist out there.
What if your girlfriend doesn't approve you of playing or spending in this weird so-called childish card game?
Girls are unpredictable.
I've met a lot of players since I joined and I have seen a lot.
Some have to quit because their girlfriend hates it.
Some sell all their cards because they need to spend on their girlfriend.
Some of their girls' didn't mind at all.
Some even joined them in playing yugioh!
Some doesn't even bother to find one.
For some , yugioh life was like their another identity.
You separate it from your real life.
Scared of being laughed by you friends of playing a silly card game.
True enough?
But still.
In the heart of all duelist.
Yugioh is not a silly , childish card game.
It requires skill.
It requires LOTS of thinking.
And of course , it requires money.
And so , playing Yugioh is not really a thing that you should hide from.
The reason I'm saying this is because some really did so.
There is no wrong playing card games.
We do spend a lot. I mean real lot.
But it was just the same as how the girls spend on cosmetics.
Being a part of this environment is really something worthwhile.
Who knows what will happen in this game?
This is really a random post.
But at least It's still something related to.
Okay , I'll write something that's really related.
Building a deck revolving Diamond Dude and Ally Genex Crushers.
Oh god , prays that D-Draw will at least got semi-limit.
I love under-used decks.
Net-decking is shit.
And so ,
before I end my post.
One last question ,
Do you have a girlfriend? =X

Froggy Monarchs
Decided to travel to Sg.Wang after finishing stuffs despite of boredom.
Didn't really expect anyone there.
Met Micheal , The National Champion there.
Oh well , he keep saying "I'm Champion leh"
Lol , he sure is happy.
He also complained on the "ojisan" joke. Ahaha.
Went for lunch with Paul and Micheal.
Paul stated there is a Tag Team Tournament soon in Malaysia.
Wow. Asian Championship next year to be held in Malaysia.
What else?
My meal was delicous!
Karl arrived.
Watched Karl's (Dandywarrior) dueling Micheal's Froggy Monarch.
The only chance Karl manage to deliver damage was using Drill Warrior.
Or he don't even can , when Micheal build the Great Wall of Dupe Frogs.
Or either OTK , at a chance.
The same applys to me.
It was hard trying to clear the field while he keep controlling my hand with cards like Spiritual Water Art - Aoi , and Mind Crush.
Key card?
Swap Frog.
Starts the frog milling combo.
And returning monarchs for reusing.
Frogs are irritating enough.
Thestalos?
Spiritual Water Art - Aoi?
There are times I was left with one hand card against his 7 hand cards.
My best moment for the day.
Managed to clear his Dupe Froggies.
YEAH!
Activate effect. WHAT?
Search for MORE frogs.
Damn.
Side deck.
D.D Crow is useless against it.
He can either use Treeborns or Ronintoads.
Soul Release serves a better purpose.
Dimensional Fissure?
King Tiger Wanghu!?
Depends.
No Soul Exchange seen in Micheal's deck.
No Dark Dust Spirit.
No Battle Faders.
Looking forward to Froggy Monarch's Mirror Matches.
1 hour per game?
Aha.
Interesting meta since I join.
Blackwings?
Machiners?
Infernities?
Dandywarrior?
Frogs?
Wow.
What to side now?
More interesting stuffs.
BF players siding Fissure to take care of Holy Lights.
Enough of System Downs , now there is Magnetic Mosquito for Machiners.
Oh my god , where is my Crevices?
Boring day.
Time to look for work.
Any recommendation?
Life is all about working.
Thanks to Micheal for fetching me home.
Nice guy if you ever know him.
I bet.
Time to sign off.
Before that.
Recent favorite side deck :
Return from the Different Dimension.
System Down? AHA!
Just for fun.
