Yeah I changed up the title a bit. I might change it around some more later on. But yeah a bit has happened since last week. Konami announced a special re-release of Battle Pack 2: War of the Giants, that by itself is not very newsworthy, but it's the promos that are being put in it that are significant: "Safe Zone, "High Priestess of Prophecy", "Number 11: Big Eye", "Fog King", and "Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana." All these cards are EXCELLENT reprints that all were worth at least 20$ before this sets announcement. Naturally, their prices will drop significantly, as is the case with all reprinted cards. For me personally, the only card I will be looking to get is "Safe Zone, as the other cards are mostly archetype specific, and have no use outside of their respective decks. Could these reprints be meta changing? No, simply because Dragon Rulers are still around, and they ain't taking no one's @#$%. just yet. Either way, this set would have gone largely unnoticed and unpopular if it wasn't for the inclusion of these reprints, which by the way are getting reprinted as Ultra Rare. It sucks the most when a one-rarity card is reprinted as a promo in the exact same rarity. However, there are no Ultra Rare Cards being reprinted in this set.
Honestly, I've been playing Call of Duty mostly since last week, but I have had some time to continue playing on DN with Traptrix. They've been pretty successful for being such a small and poorly know archetype. They've done well enough that I'm actually considering building them in real life. They are cheap, easy to find, and almost every backrow card it needs I already have. The only problems with it are that you almost always have to go first, or you will have a tough time winning, as the deck lacks big monsters to kill other monsters already on the field, excluding the Extra Deck. Really, it's a deck that could be much better if it had a bit more support. Ergo, the deck has really not been doing great in the meta, but I have heard of it topping a tournament once or twice in the past. I guess they can be considered a rogue deck because of that fact. Though they still have a long way to go to become Tier 2 or higher.
On a more personal note, one of my friends has been spending a crap ton of money on Yu-Gi-Oh cards since he got financial aid, and went from having nearly nothing, to having almost something. . . which is not much but I guess it's still better than nothing. He is also playing Call of Duty, and he seems to enjoy it almost as much as I do. It's just so amusing, it's been distracting me from almost everything. Hmmmm but I just finished a duel on DN, and the dude ragequit because I basically killed his whole field with my backrow (Backrow = Spells/Traps in the "backrow") A lot of people actually quit, and it's pretty amusing. Though I don't get any experience points, the experience itself is self-motivating. For me, at least. GG until next week. Lol.
