I'm an advid nerd. . .yes, a nerd! I love all things gaming; video games, trading card games, role playing games, miniature games, etc. you name it, and I'd probably enjoy it. I'm dedicating this blog to all my nerdy thoughts. I'll post about new games I get into, old games I'm getting back into, and anything else nerdy I have to say, lol. I'm a nerd, and proud of it! :)

yu-gi-oh multiplayer. . .

well me and my 2 friends played another game of 3 player multiplayer (we all started at 24,000 points as always).

i'm dam happy with my deck. . .and it isn't even finished yet. it's got tons of control, and i'm consistantly finding myself with the best feild position (aka best monsters and spells/traps at any given time), and i'm finding that i ussually always have answers for whatever i may come up against (for example today one of my friends destoyed my sakuretsu armor with a mystical space typhoon, then dropped a silent swordsman lv4 (or maybe it's lv5?). . .no problem, on my turn i dropped an exiled force and got rid of the swordsman.)
it's just a very solid and consistant deck with alot of aggresive monsters, and tons of answers to whatever my opponents can throw at me.

and today, i figured out what i need to do to give myself a much better chance at winning multiplayer games.
i need to focus on the strongest threat, and relentlessly go after that one person. . .ignoring my other friend unless i absolutly have to deal with him.
it's not fun to play with me (and my friends play mostly for fun). . .but i don't play for fun. . .i don't build decks that i think will be fun. . .i play and build to win.
i focused on my friend today who runs alot of threats (the guy that tries to deck his opponents out). . .i was able to keep his spells/traps in check, and i was able to keep his monsters off the field. i ignored my other friend (and not to sound too arrogant here. . .but this guy's deck holds absolutly no chance against my deck in a 1 on 1 game). . .i just attacked the hell out of my friend, till he was out of the game and no longer a threat.
i was at around 11,000 life points and my second friend was well over 30,000 life points.
i made very quick work of him. . .anytime he finaly had a monster, i was able to emediatly deal with it so i could continue with my attacks (i was able to finish the game with 2 kycoos, and a cyber dragon. . .he had no creatures).

i'm sure this will piss my friends off eventualy. . .and i'm expecting both of them to gang up on me in our next game. . .which should be interesting. i wonder how long i'll last going against 2 weaker decks completely focused on me.
i'm pretty confidant i'll actualy do okay as long as i apply the same strategy of taking them out 1 at a time.

my most valuable player today was my exiled force. . .i've loved this card for a long time. . .and today just proved to me once again why i love it so much. . .a tremendous answer card.
i'll be running 2 now.
snipe hunter was a very close second. i hit 1 and 6 a couple times. . .but the 3 times his effect went through they were game swaying moves. he's awesome because he can answers both monsters and spells/trap. . .insanely powerfull.
least valuable player. . .spell canceler. he's nice to have going against my friend who plays the deck that tries to deck me out. . .but he's horrible in multiplayer (just not enough attack/defense).
he's being taken out and replaced by a second exiled force. plus i run too many spells. . .and i rely on them to keep control.

anyhow, today was a great day, and i'm excited of all i've learned about playing in multiplayer games. . .the real test will be if my strategy can continue to win me games.

posted on my lg voyager.
till next time,
thnx.
