Yu-Gi-Oh World Championship 2008 For The DS. . .

okay, so i bought yugioh world championship 2008 for my nintendo ds about 2 weeks ago.
the main reason for getting it was for the promo card that came with it; dimensional prison.
i love sakuretsu armor, but prison takes it a step further. . .instead of just destroying the attacking monster, it removes it from the game. . .awesome! :)
oh, and the game?
well. . .i just hit my 90 hour mark in the game. . .lol, should tell you something.
it's dam addictive.

i have a beatdown deck in the game built (can't get the decklist to you right now, as i don't have my ds handy). . .it's pretty much an advanced version of the deck i run in real life.
it's all about clearing my opponent's side of the board (both spell/traps, and monster) then going in for the kill with monsters.
it's a very simple strategy, but very effective. i enjoy the deck alot.
i also have a zombie deck.
heh it's pretty much just a zombie madness starter deck, with a couple extra cards thrown in (an extra vampire lord, a premature burrial, spirit reaper, and replaced some of the weaker monsters, oh and i added a snipe hunter, which flipping rocks in this deck (like it doesn't rock anyhow, lol)).
i didn't expect the deck to do well (i don't even have any il bluds to throw in yet) but wow. . .it's dam effective. it's great at swarming the board with big beasty monsters (ryu kokki, and despair from the dark), and it's awesome because there will be many times when i'll have an empty board, and i'll have a big critter on my opponent's side of the field breathing down my back. . .then bam, out of nowhere i'll have 2 or 3 monsters on the board (thanks to book of life, call of the mummy, and my call of the haunted, and premature burial) not to mention vampire lord's built in recursion ability, which has saved my neck many, many times.
it's a very fun deck to build, and i'm suprised at how well it does in the game. i only added a few cards to the starter, and it's just about as powerfull as my beat down deck (which is chock full of restricted cards).
and last but not least i have a burn deck. i built the deck because one of the requirements for a game i played, was that i creat a chain with 5 links, and then won the game on top of that.
now i've never played any decks that cared about the chain in yugioh. . .so this was something completely new to me. so i found a deck that used the chain on the net, and spent some time getting all the cards together for it (heh it ended up taking me nearly 8 hours to unlock the packs i needed to unlock, and to purchased enough packs to get the cards i needed. . .ceasefire was a particular pain to get, as was scapegoat).
i'll post the deck list some time. . .but it's a very cool deck that revolves around drawing lots of cards, and using cards like chain burst (this may be the wrong name), lava golem, secret barrel, and this other trap that deals 500 points x the number of creatures my opponent controls (it also runs 3 ojama trio's). add this with 3xwabuko, and 3x threating roar, and it turns out to be a very powerfull deck.
it dies to any deck running jinzo, or royal decree though (obviously lol).

but yeah, it's a great game. i finished the main story, but now i'm wanting to unlock more packs so i can start building some cool decks i've never tried before (i've never played advance. . .so it's fun to see what's out there).
the deck i want the most is a necroface deck. i love necroface, and have been completely amazed by it since i've seen it a month or 2 ago.
heh now i just have to wait for them to reprint the dam card, so i don't have to pay $200+ per card (it's a perfect answer to big d.'s deck).
i'd also like to build a gladiator beast deck, a crystal beast/rainbow dragon deck, a gadget/monarch deck, and some other fun decks.
i've got at least another 50 hours to spend in this game. i haven't even unlocked any of the tournaments yet, and i'm willing to bet it'll take me around 20 hours to get my necroface deck all worked out.

anyhow, i'll try to post some decklists sometime soon.
till next time,
thnx.
