I know I haven't posted in a while. With work, I actually haven't played any yugioh for about 2 months. Now that the holiday season is over, I'll be able to play once again. But in all honesty, is there a reason to play right now?
StarPSYCH Blast is a mediocre set with only 2 cards I actually want.
Hidden Arsenal 3 is even worse. Barkion is cool, and so are dragunities for those who want to run that. But as far as I am concerned, the set is still useless (perhaps until Jurrac Aeolo is released). As much as I like Naturias, they are a very difficult deck to play. Cliff was thought to make them amazing, but little do people know that Cliff misses its timing when it's used for tributes or synchros.
Turbo Pack 4 has 1 nice card, and thats the "chase card" Tragoedia. All the other cards in the pack are collectibles, and are easy to get otherwise. Except, of course, for Dunames Dark Witch. But the JP decks that use here are nothing in the TCG, so people will gladly get rid of them.
But there is still one reason to play, and that is to get store credit towards Storm of Ragnarok (STOR) !
STOR will be released in February (That's so close now!) and is jam packed with fun cards. The ones I am interested though are the Nordic Beasts that I mentioned a couple of months ago. They work so well with Unicorn synchro (and beast decks as a whole) that it would almost seem silly not to run them. Until Konami gives us Rescue Cat back, Nordics may be the bridge we needed to make Beasts more competitive.
Combolicious:
Vanadis: Mill Nordic Beasts, then Gold Sarc to special summon them for an instant level 6. Mill Nordics for Pot of Avarice.
Mega-Hamster: Special Summon Tanngnostr during your opponent's battle phase, then flip summon it during your main phase for a free Synchro-7. Summon Tanngrisnir for the 2 tokens, then you can SS chain dog from your grave for free. 1 Hamster on the field, 1 Vanadis in hand and Desertapir's effect leads to Thor!
Creature Swap: Tanngrisnir becomes yet another Creature Swap target for 2 tokens.
Gulfaxi: Special summon Gulfaxi. Normal Summon Lock cat. Special summon key mouse. Synchro into Bicorn and then upgrade it to Tricorn.
