The awesomeness of Deep Sea Diva
Let's say we run 3 Deep Sea Diva, 1 Atlantean Marksman and 1 Atlantean Dragoons in our deck
Summon Diva equals:
*Herald of Pure Light: Recycle basically everything you want to recycle with minimal cost. Getting back BLS/Dark Armed Dragon/Master Hyperion/... while returning a useless card to your deck? Too good
*Trishula: Marksman attacks calling out Dragoons, make Trishula. 1 card Trishula without required setup? Too awesome
*Daigusto Phoenix: 3000 damage

*Daigusto Phoenix: 3000 damage
*Gachi Gachi: Classic wall
*Armor Kappa (in case you run Heavy Infantry): Clear 1 face-up card, even Dimensional Fissure, while gaining 1000 ATK permanently
*Catastor: Classic crusher
I'm wondering why Konami decided to release Trishula but not hit Deep Sea Diva. Because they think people would still main deck Imperial Iron Walls? So retarded

Mirror Force (聖なるバリア－ミラーフォース－)
That's quite a few changes...
And if this is true...
Would definitely go for the rank 4-based deck then. Constellar, Evilswarm, Wolfberk Fire Fist,...
Mermail comes back to the original form of Genex Undine, with the addition of Tidal
Spellbook comes back to the original form of pre-LTGY (still a good deck though)
Dragons then can only be splashed into attribute-themed deck, or mixed into one with the help of Lightsworn and/or Card Trooper engine
It's quite doubtful who would even run Trishula right now. What deck can make it without difficulties aside from Infernity?

Worlds
The champion is Taiwan rep Shin En Huang IIRC
Decklist:
Source: Yugioh Edition Singapore
Quite a weird deck: No Gold Sarcophagus, Dragon Ravine replaces them all, then LADD, then no Ancient Sacred Wyvern. The lack of Master of Blades is understandable because there would be absolutely no Evilswarm or anything that targets at Worlds
Spoiler: I don't hate this guy for being fat, I'll just be reporting the duel a little bit
So, in the final duel, when David Keener had double Starhall Jowgen, Blue Magician AND Solemn Judgment set, it was Huang's turn. He summoned Tsukuyomi, and Keener let it go? The moment I saw him nodded, I immediately knew who would be the Worlds Champion 2013.
Moving on, Huang pitched Blaster for Stream, calling out Tidal, then pitched Redox for Lightning, calling out Tempest. He made Dracosack, which got Fate'd to face-down. Huang called back the discarded Redox, killed Jowgen and Magician with Tsukuyomi and Redox, finally Rejuvenation'd for 4, into another Rejuvenation for 4 (what a lucksack)
Keener fought back, cleared the Dracossack with Jowgen + Power (Judgment included), ending the turn with quite a strong position consisting of Jowgen in ATK position, double Starhall (total of 12+ counters) + Spellbook Tower face-up, Spellbook of Fate + Solemn Judgment + Phoenix Wing Wind Blast set, adding 4 Books during the End Phase, with the Wind Blast getting MST'd
Strong position?
Huang summoned Tsukuyomi (yet again), and this time Keener chose to Solemn Judgment it
It still seems like a good lock for Keener, of course. The seemed-to-be only out of Huang was cleared
BUT
Huang followed with Card Destruction, trading his just-refuelled hand (due to double Rejuvenation from the previous turn) for a new hand consisting of Blaster and Burner...
Of course Huang called back Tempest, Tidal and Redox, attacked into Keener's clear field to wipe out his 3900 life point left (due to Solemn Judgment)
Had Keener not conserved his Solemn Judgment, the championship would have definitely gone to US team
I really didn't/don't understand what Keener was saving the Judgment for. If Huang had Heavy Storm, there wouldn't be Keener's extra turn anyway
And, double Rejuvenation for 8 into Card Destruction into Blaster + Burner is skill
Luck is a part of this game, especially this format. I don't blame Huang for having luck at the right time, but it's still a pity how the US team lost this competition. They're really strong, but due to the overpoweredness, Keener had to face Aaron Riker (rapture) in top 8. I guess luck stood by his side during the top 8 :<
Earlier, Hiromi Kodou and Thai rep faced each other in the 3rd/4th place match. The first game was REALLY slow, which lasted for more than one hour. Thai rep resolved 3 Threatening Roar and 1 EEV on spell to secure the win. In game 2 Kudo won it quick, and in game 3 Thai rep (I can't remember his name, sorry) had a combination of Book of Moon and Threatening Roar to push through Kudo's Scarecrow, then flipped the Roar during Kudo's last turn to secure the win (in time)
His deck didn't have any hand traps at all (wtf). Instead he played 3 Threatening Roars, 2 EEVs and Return from DD. That helped him in the Dragon mirror, but I guess his weird choice cost him the Spellbook match vs. Keener. Kudo played it out really well, but Thai rep's deck is too good for playing in time
And that's it. Until next time guys xD

Transmodify (Transturn) is awesome
Summon Karakuri Merchant 177 Inashichi, search your deck for Karakuri Ninja 919 Kuick
Transmodify the Merchant into Karakuri Komachi 224 Ninishi, effect normal summon Kuick, then go into Burei into usual Karakuri stunts
Activate The Sanctuary in the Sky (yes, I know it sucks). Summon Agent Earth, search Master Hyperion. Transmodify into Agent Venus, pay for 3 Balls. Stack 2 Balls for Herald of Pure Light, use its effect to detach a Ball, add that Ball (you have Earth as a legal target, don't worry) to your hand, and return that Ball to your deck. Venus pay 500 more, get that Ball again, stack with the other remaining Ball for Daigusto Phoenix. Then drop Hyperion, banishing the Earth. 600 + 1600 + 3000 + 2700 is 7900 lol
Summon Infernity Necromancer, summon Archfiend. Transmodify Necromancer into more Archfiends, enough said
Summon Spellbook Magician of Prophecy, search Judgment/Secret, Transmodify into Justice/Temperance (in case Spellbook/Prophecy gets hit somehow)
Summon Treeborn Frog, Transmodify into Swap Frog, start the Frog stunts
Summon Diva for Marksman, Transmodify into double Marksman, attack, calling out 2 Dragoons, attack (total 6400), xyz Bahamut Shark in MP2 then search Diva + summon Abysstrite and a rank 3 of your choice
...
..
.
Summon Red/Yellow/Green Gadget, Transmodify into SPELL CANCELLER
That's for today xD Will be attending one last tournament of the format by the end of August. 99.999999% play Dragons, and after that my final year begins :<

Fuck YGO, let's play Solitaire
Play Solitaire, then either scoop or force your opponent to scoop
Side deck may include Mind Drain for sweetness. Just side out 3 EEV for 3 Mind Drain, for fuck's sake
No Dragged Down because the point is to dig deeper and deeper and deeper into your deck until your find EEV/Mind Drain with Grapha and (ideally) a Malefic Cyber End on the field
No Skill Drain because there's no space, and EEV is often enough to force Prophecy players to quit, whereas Drain does nothing against Dragons. Dracossack can tribute itself
I really need a ban list right now :< Ironically we've all been desired to have an "emergency" banlist of June for the recent 2-3 years, however the only June banlist was applied when the game was at its best :<
