Wel no...oh sheesh!

Guys back on topic here! Any feelings about our latest restriction list?

Zombie = deadz
GB = deadz
DAD = deadz
Ligthsworn = possible new ruler
Monarch/Gadget = another possibility
Pure Monarch = like the old times... the best way I think to play this format
Synchro Plant = Fast enough to play and fast enough to win, pretty constintant
Rescue Cat Control = big possibility if the starter x-saber deck come sto america!


I wouldn't bite no ones ass or neck... just to my girl xD

GBs were destined to die anyway...with Raging Battle out, G.B Hunter would single handedly shut down an entire GB deck....

Gladial beasts still has an oportunity..

GB Hunter is a 2000 DEF monster with 1200 ATK...

That means you must set her and wait for an attack.. but hey dart, here is a counter play that will work for all those gladiator beast players.

In that same booster comes a new GB, it has 1600 ATK, 3 STAR and its a beast type monster, using rescue cat you can bring it to the field along with a test tiger.

Use test Tiger's skill and return the gladiator to summon a Laquari to the field, 2100 ATK beatstick to kill a 2000 def monster that will be for sure face-down.

Now if the opponent plays it face up you still have a lot of options to kill it, from smashing ground, fissure up to back to the square one (?)

Believe me GB is deadz.. but is still fighting for an opportunity

Player: you are deadz!!!
GB Deck: No I'm not! I just am a little out of shape!
Player: Deadz!!! Go back to your grave!!!
GB Deck: but.. but I have a nother play still!!!!
