New Duel Master Theme Decks!!!

That's right, the picture doesn't lie! NEW DUEL MASTER THEME DECKS! I'm so excited. They haven't had new theme decks since the release of Evo-Crushinators of Doom, and these theme decks promise to feature a chunk of all new cards! I'm gonna get them both! And take a good careful look at the new boxes. one features an all new creature from this set, while the other presents the all time favorite darkness creature, Ballom, Master of Death! BOOYA! They really know how to release a set! :D:D:D:D:D

DM R&D did their research then, haven't they? :)

Kudos to MaGo. :D

btw, what's the other deck? I can't see it very well.

 

[Pogiforce-14]

I don't know. Must be a new card.

Who's Mago?

 

[Kenny_C.002]

Mark Gottlieb, R&D Rules Manager for Duel Masters, columnist for a Tuesday column in Magic.

 

[Pogiforce-14]

Oh.

I don't know much of anything about Magic, but according to this periodical, a card called "skullclamp" was put on the Magic Banned List. Also, the "Magic Pro Tour" Is scheduled from May 6th to 8th in Philadelphia. They have a live webcam where you can watch it at www.wizards.com/webcast .

I'd give you guys more DM news, but I unfortunately have none to report.

Edit: Did anybody notice that in YGO, Gravity Bind became a semi-limited Card?

 

[Kenny_C.002]

Regards to Magic bit: The current Standard ban list have 9 cards: Skullclamp (banned like a month after it came out about a year ago), arcbound ravager, disiple of the vault, and the 6 artifact lands. This is known as the affinity shaft, and is the largest ban in standard ever in the history of Magic. :O Just to say...they messed up BADLY last year. :(

And Gravity Bind being semi is interesting in it that...wait ccan't you just use Messenger tho?

 

[Pogiforce-14]

Messenger of peace requires you to pay 100 life points a turn. It may not sound like much, but it adds up. And since it isn't a trap, you can't activate it at a moment's notice.

 

[Kenny_C.002]

Still, it's the only 1-card alternative to fill the "void" that bind's semi-restriction is leaving...unless I'm missing something extremely obvious.

 

[Pogiforce-14]

Area Limit Level B. LIke G-Bind, except the 1500 or higher monsters are switched to defense. or something like that. >> It is also now semi-limited.

 

[Mullet]

Your way off, Level Limit Area B, makes all monsters with 4 or more stars switch to defence mode.

 

[Kenny_C.002]

Oh sweet. Actually that would be a very good card to play with, since a lot of the mons would like to go into defense mode in those types of decks anyway. Wow another card that got shafted in the YGO video games. XD

 

[Mullet]

Pogi doesn't seem to great in remembering YGO card names, and that cards name is a big hint on what it does, that's why I put Level in bold.

 

[Pogiforce-14]

How about you quit the Slandering up there, Mullet? IO don't own the stupid card, so how should I know exactly what it does? sheesh.

 

[Kenny_C.002]

lol then again shouldn't the elite players know like every decent to good card possible to deal with every possible situations including good rouge decks? lol

Naw I'm just teasing you man. ;)

 

[Mullet]

I don't own the "stupid" card either. It's not slander because it's true you don't know the cards correct name, or it's effect.

Yes Kenny, elite players should know every decent to good card possible, to know every possible situation, lol!:P

 

[Pogiforce-14]

har har.

Anyway, I have some more good DM news! This summer, they'll be having the Duel Masters Invitation Circuit! The first fifty people who enter get a free terror pit promo and a deck box. The tournament will be divided ito two age groups, 14 or lower, and 15 or higher. Best of all though, the winnger gets an invite to the DUEL MASTERS CONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! :D:D:D

 

[Mullet]

I wish they moved it up to before March 13th, then I would win!!! A promo T-Pit sounds spiffy! You didn't tell me about the T-Pit!

 

[Kenny_C.002]

Not bad. That sounds like fun. Hope you guys do have fun if you do go, eh. :)

 

[digi-kun]

Yes it is that time again, digi's previews of Saviors of Kamigawa, the new Magic block has prereleases on the 21-22
our first card is Enduring Ideal introducing a new (whats it called) ability thingy called Epic: can't play spells for the rest of the game. at the begining of each of your upkeeps, copy the spell except for the epic ability.

and here it is
5/09 preview - Enduring Ideal

 

[Kenny_C.002]

Wow eduring ideal is going straight to the shoebox! XD And besides that, I don't like epic at all...wayyy too weak/crappy for an ability unless paired with an insane spell.
