Yu-Gi-Oh! Spirit

I fought Noble Knights only once and I annihilated them. What's their deal, anyway? Shadolls are annoying as fuck because they constantly summon and every one of them activates their effect when it's used as fusion material, breaking your cards and generally annoying you. What do Noble Knights do?

In any case, this time I wanted to play it anime-style, which means using a gimmicky and creative deck, GX-style, rather than an actual working deck. I love Koa'ki Meirus but Konami didn't really bother to keep them up to speed with the new, hyper-fast playstyle and uber-protected monsters. Still, I personally think that they would make for an interesting deck in a context different from RL duelling.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Spirit

I know, I know :P
I want to finish the last custom card before doing that.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Spirit

There, I posted three of my four custom cards, and I'm working on balancing the last one :P

Yu-Gi-Oh! Spirit

Yeah, they're pretty nasty. Looks like I got the weakest deck of all :P
Damn, had I known, I'd have used something a bit scarier, like the Hazy Flame, Gishki or Laval.

Oh well. It's a RP, we just gotta worry about making it epic.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Spirit

Dayum, your custom cards are pretty strong.

(Adding mine in a second)

Yu-Gi-Oh! Spirit

I'm gonna post my decklist tomorrow, after I've finished my chemistry exam :P

Yu-Gi-Oh! Spirit

Name: Akio Muzuki-Franklin (double citizenship)

Appearance

Age: 21

Deck Type: Pure Koa'ki Meiru

Spirit Partner: None.

Ace Card: Koa'ki Meiru Maximus and Koa'ki Meiru Valafar

Frequent Cards: Koa'ki Meiru Urnight, Iron Core Transport Station, Core Blaster, Diamond Core of Koa'ki Meiru, Koa'ki Meiru Boulder and Core Overclock.

Personality: Surly and antisocial, Akio looks like your typical nerd, only without the affable awkwardness or the endearing passion for his hobbies the typical nerd might show. He claims to be interested in biology, physics and informatics, though he's supremely reserved about this. His usual attitude toward other people, both students and professors, is mostly of annoyed indifference with a tinge of superiority, and he acts as if he feels he's the only sane man in a world of idiots.

Bio: Child of mixed American-Japanese parentage, raised in Circle City, as far as everyone knows, Akio led a pretty normal life for a normal kid in Circle City. Rumor is that he wasn't always the antisocial jerk he is today, leading some students to speculate that he was actually brain damaged in an accident, although no one has the smallest clue about what this accident was, or if it even happened. In any case, he went through High School never socializing with anyone, but his good grades made most professors ignore his unsociableness and abrasive personality. After graduating, he inexplicably took an internship at the Duel Academy of Circle City, where he works as an assistant to the professors, despite not having studied there. He's not exactly loved, but most students, except a few, are creeped out enough by him to avoid making jokes to his face. Not that they show this kind of care when he's not around, though: some of the nastiest jokes in the academy are about him.

Custom cards

(I didn't find appropriate images for the cards, so I decided to simply write their description rather than making them on YGO Card Maker)

Koa'ki Meiru Lab Ruins
Field spell card
Effect: During your Draw Phase, you can apply one of the following effects:

• Add one "Iron core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your graveyard to your hand.
• Add one "Koa'ki Meiru" or "Core" card, except "Dark Core", from your graveyard to your hand, then discard one "Koa'ki Meiru" monster from your hand

During the end phase, send this this card to your graveyard unless you send one "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" or one "Koa'ki Meiru" card from your hand to your graveyard.

Koa'ki Meiru Genome Tank
Continuous Trap Card

Effect: During each of your standby phases, you can reveal an "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" and a "Koa'ki Meiru" monster in your hand, then choose a type or attribute: the type or Attribute of the revealed monster becomes the chosen type or Attribute until the End Phase.

Koa'ki Meiru Dracore
Rank 4 Xyz Monster
FIRE/Machine
ATK 0/DEF 3000

Requirements: 3 Level 4 "Koa'ki Meiru" monsters
Effect: When this card is Special Summoned, detach all its XYZ units and attach to it as many "Iron core of Koa'ki Meiru" as you can from either your deck, hand, field or graveyard. When an effect would require you to reveal an "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand, or send one "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand to your Graveyard, you can instead detach one XYZ unit from this card.
Once per turn, you can send a "Koa'ki Meiru" or "Core" card from your hand or field to your graveyard to attach one "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" from your hand or Graveyard as a Xyz unit to this card.
Once per turn, you can detach one Xyz unit from this card to add one "Koa'ki Meiru" or "Core" card, except "Dark Core", from your graveyard to your hand, or detach two Xyz units to add a banished "Koa'ki Meiru" or "Core" card, except "Dark Core", to your hand.
When this card has no XYZ units (except right after it is Special Summoned), banish it.

Koa'ki Meiru Fusion Engine
Level 4 Effect Monster
EARTH/Rock
ATK 2300/DEF 0

Effect: This card cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. As long as this card is in your hand, field or graveyard, the name of this card is considered "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru". You can Tribute this card and reveal an "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" in your hand to add a "Core" or "Koa'ki Meiru" Spell/Trap card (Except "Dark Core") from your Deck to your hand.

It's like a drug, Roxie. First you're disgusted by how OP Konami is making its new cards, then you keep losing to OP archetypes, then you try to save your pride by adopting the enemy's weapon, then you find out you kinda sorta have fun summoning Rank 9s in one turn, and before you've even noticed, you've already become one of the mass of wannabe powerplayers. I should know, that's exactly what happened to me.

(BTW, nice to find you here too... you might remember me as one of the reviewers and fans of Sleeping Terror ;) )

Yu-Gi-Oh! Spirit

I'm the guy he's talking about, by the way. Nice to meet you all.
