Effective of OCG Format in Asia

Hey, guys! Sorry for not updating my blog for a long time! Recently quite busy with my working life. Okay, today I would like to share some of my thoughts regarding the effective of OCG format at Asia. It has been a long time for not allowing promo cards to be play in Asia official tourney. However, not all promo cards are legal except all magazine, comic, guide book cards and DT cards from DT01 till DT02.

With the legality of promo cards, we might see more interesting decks playing around the official tourney. IMO, this is a good environment to train a player to be skillful enough or creative. Therefore, our side will be more generic due to variety of decks will compete in this environment. EP12 gonna release next month and the OCG environment will have a lot of impact. We will see Wind-Up or Rabbit Laggia become the top meta very soon in OCG.

Anyway, EP12 gonna be the last extra pack in YGO history and we might see new promo pack been introduced during next year August till October. Apart from that, the new booster pack, Cosmo Blazer introduce the theme of Flaming-Star. Similar with Flamvell, they all are Fire attribute and Beast-Warrior type too. However, it was not too compatible with the Flamvell deck due to their DEF not below 200.

Based on the card set that have been revealed, I can see that the Flaming Star is quite similar with Magician play style. As a result, I expect the new SD24: Assault of the Flaming King will highly support the current Flamvell theme card so that Flamvell deck can rise as the top META by the end of this year. I expected the cover card of this SD will be a level 7 or 8 monster with the effect of banish opponent monster on the field.

For the spell and traps, I wish they could draw or search a monster from the deck. As a result, Flamvell deck will be much more stable. Btw, ZW - Lion Arms is quite a useful card and it can be used to combo with Wind-Up deck to produce OTK. Apart from that, it is quite a big beat stick although you can't use it to perform direct attack. Garbage Lord is useful too because it can be combo to instant Xyz rank 5 Dark Xyz monster or act as a defense wall.

For the Fish deck, Xyz Remora is a good combo to instant Xyz Number 32: Shark Drake. I can foresee that Gold Series might not be produce anymore but still we will see more reprints to be happen in OCG soon. The reprint pack might reprint all kind of hot cards and all time favorite cards just like Gold Series. Therefore, inflation of card price especially in OCG will happen any time soon.

3 more weeks later, EP12 will be release in OCG. Hopefully I can get Reborn Tengu and Tour Guide from Underworld with the reasonable price. Okay, that's all I wanna share with you guys. Wish you guys have a nice day. Please stay tuned for my next post.
