Ban Cat. For the love of all that is good, ban Cat.
Cat becoming Hyunlei is already way over the top, but the fact that it pluses even more is ridiculous.
Otherwise I wouldn't have anything against the themed "Sangan."

Less QQ More Pew Pew
The results are in for SJC Edison, and a total of 3 Quickdraw Dandywarrior decks made the top 16 and consequently the top 8.
Jeff Jones piloted the deck to a first place finish! Along the way he triumphed in the mirror match with what seemed like relative ease.
I have to say that I'm amazed. The deck is relatively young compared to those that have been topping regional qualifiers left and right since March, but it just goes to show that previous results don't mean anywhere near as much as many like to believe, since the deck just performed better than every other in attendance!
A price hike on key cards is inevitable now, as is a popularity spike. I can't blame people for that, though. I've said it before, and I'll keep saying that the deck is fun as hell. The fact it performs well doesn't change that.
Of course, the meta will see another shift in a couple of weeks with the release of The Shining Darkness. I have to wonder how the deck will hold up in the face of the OTK/FTK slant that's sure in coming.
Hopefully well enough to stay on the map. It'd be depressing if people gave up on the deck before the release of "Junk Destroyer" kicks it up another notch.

Obligatory Reporting Fail
Somewhere in here.
"With Necrovalley protected, the boost to his monsters is secured and the effects of his opponent’s Drill Warrior, Blackwing – Vayu the Emblem of Honor, Blackwing – Kalut the Moon Shadow, Rekindling, Call of the Haunted, and Necro Gardna are shut down."
It may seem pretentious of me, but mistakes like these are made at every event, and it's incredibly irritating. People, for the most part, are very impressionable, especially kids, and they wouldn't bat an eyelash to take this all as fact. Not only does this lead to TONS of misinformed people, but it leaves judges needing to correct them.
I should probably explain what's the matter here.
In the TCG, Necrovalley reads and functions as follows:
"Negate the effects of Spells, Traps and Effect Monsters that target a card(s) in either player's Graveyard. Cards in either player's Graveyard cannot be removed from play. All "Gravekeeper's" monsters gain 500 ATK and DEF."
As such, cards that do not target are not affected by it. This means that "Rekindling" and "Drill Warrior" are free to do what they want. In the OCG, these effects would be negated, as they take other cards in the graveyard and move them elsewhere, but in the TCG, we have to play by TCG rules.
"Blackwing - Kalut the Moonshadow" is unaffected by "Necrovalley" in both CGs, as it does not target anything in the graveyard or remove anything in the graves from play. It's possible this was a typo intended to be "Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North," who will be negated in both CGs.

Children's Card Game..?
It's... not. I realize now how difficult it is to teach this game to kids. They forget even the tiniest of details, and... uhg. There's a whole world of difference between this and educating people with a high school reading level or greater, that's for sure.
I ended up throwing together a practice deck I thought was simple enough to follow, but maybe it's not?

x3 Nimble Momonga
x3 Junk Synchron
x2 Legendary Jujitsu Master
x2 Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer
x1 Breaker the Magical Warrior
x1 Snipe Hunter

...yes, these all came out of my common and rare piles. Extra deck is... whatever.
No idea where to go next in teaching the nephew.

XX-Saber Darksoul
I have no idea what this is going to be, but it's being revealed on Monday, and it sounds bloody epic.
Also, another Infernity article tomorrow.
Because Kevin says so, of course.

New Video and LOLCORES
Light and Darkness Dragon
New Koa'ki Meiru Cards
"Koa'ki Meiru Prototype" and "Core Overclock" seem average at best at a glance, but I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up being horribly wrong. Every playable card they get increases the deck's consistency ten fold. Well, except for the whole Iron Core dependency. They still don't have a real answer to that, which is why I still can't see the deck going anywhere.
