Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal

yugistar

Being a Yu-Gi-Oh fan, I have watched everything Yu-Gi-Oh including 5D’s and Zexal, even Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie and Yu-Gi-Oh Bonds Beyond Time. Now for a long-time I told myself that I would not watch Zexal but one day I decided to go ahead and to check it out. I watched it all the way through to the end of Season 2, and I can honestly say Zexal is a revamp of the old Yu-Gi-Oh. In Yu-Gi-Oh you have a  spirit of a name-less pharaoh who is on the hunt to reclaim his memories as king while trapped in a young boy’s body connected to a mystical item, called the Millenium Puzzle. In Zexal you have an alien spirit inhabiting the body of a boy connected to another mystical item called the Emperor’s Key and he too (Astral) is on the hunt for his memories by collecting number cards. Both boys…

Mako Tsunami & Tyranno Hasslebery/Sarge

yugistar

I would like to compare these two characters for a moment. I was reviewing Yu-Gi-Oh GX, season 2 when an interesting revelation came into my obsessed brain. In the show Yu-Gi-Oh, Mako Tsunami was all about his fish type monsters and his love for the sea, and we have Hassleberry, err Sarge from GX. Sarge was all about his dinosaur monsters and his love for the army. 

Another thing, Mako Tsunami was obsessed by the sea because he lost his dad on a fishing trip during a storm. Sarge got involved in an accident during an archaeological dig where one of his leg bones broke. In the hospital, to replace his broken leg bone, a dinosaur bone got grafted onto his own, giving him “Dinosaur DNA.”

In Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged, created by CardGamesFTW Mako Tsunami was referred to as the freaky fish guy, well freaky fish guy I have found your…

Pendulum Monsters

yugistar

As the series of Yu-Gi-Oh! progresses, we now have a fifth installment of the series, Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC – V. This show introduced a new set of cards called Pendulum Monsters. These cards are in current circulation, and have caused quite a stir among Yu-Gi-Oh! fans. Some don’t like the new addition of Pendulum Monsters, and some do. Some might not like the change, because it may seem complex or just simply unnecessary.

These new monsters are a combination of spell and monster, and they come with a new zone on the playing field. The new zone, the Pendulum Zone is right in between the Field Zone/Graveyard Zone and the Extra Deck/Deck. These monsters do not classify as any other spell card except it’s own. 

While the Pendulum Monster is in the Pendulum Zone, it is considered to be a spell card, though not a continuous spell. I believe before you…

New Rules…sigh

Ok, so lately I’ve been playing on Duel Network and I have discovered a couple new rules in the physical game which reveals that this 10 year player is 2 years out of date when it comes to the rules. This player knows all of the old rules which still weigh into today. 

One of the new rules states that you can have two field spells active simultaneously on the field. This means that if your opponent controls a field spell and you activate your field spell your opponent’s field is not bumped and sent to the graveyard. You can run with your field effects and your opponent runs with their field effects at the same time. Another rule is that the player that goes first does not draw the sixth card. This rule addresses the issue of an unfair advantage.

One last rule seems to be more of a rumor than a real rule and that is that the new hand size limit became 8. I did some research and the hand size remains at 6. 

Thanks for reading, and with this update I hope you are caught up on the rules especially if you are like me and you have been playing for a very, very long time.
