There are other ways of bypassing the swear filter. You can italicize or bold the letter, put punctuation marks in between the letters, or simply space them out altogether.

Aw, that's cute, Sal. You're lucky I live up here now. If I could get a plane ticket to El Paso, I'd hop on the next flight to there and beat your ass, lol.

Chapter Three : Wager

The Opening Song ("The Remedy")

The Opening Lyrics

Tuesday, August 25th

A loud ping echoed inside the small store of Beanie Planet as soon as the door was pulled open, catching the attention of the four guys that were inside.

“Oh, it’s Joe and Sal!” cried an estatic Carlos, walking towards the doorway from where the glass counters were.

“Oh, it’s Carlos, y’allz!” replied Sal.

“Hi five, Joe! EeeYeah!” said Carlos as he and Joe high fived each other.

“Joe, Sal.” Nodded Alex.

“Hello, Alex. What’s happening, good sir?” asked Sal.

“Eh, not much. Just looking through the Pokemanzterz binder.” He replied, continuing to shuffle through the many pages of holos in the binder.

“Cool. Anything good?”

“I haz found this!” he exclaimed, holding up a Honchkrow Lv.X card.

“Don’t you already have one in your deck?”

“I do, but this extra one is going to get nailed to ‘Matt the Catt’’s head!”

“Hey, that doesn’t sound very nice, Alex.” Said Matt, turning around on his chair to look at him.

Matt was one of the younger Yu-Gi-Oh! players at Beanie Planet. He had blond hair that came down slightly past his shoulders and his hair was parted on either side at the center of his forehead. He had bright blue eyes that were protected by his oval-shaped glasses, and he wore a white t-shirt and blue jeans.

“Be quiet, you! We still need to have our Pokemon battle on the DS! When are we actually going to be able to have our match in full?” he asked.

“One of these days. I have to get a new DS though, as I accidently dropped my old one at school yesterday, so you’re just going to have to wait until after Christmas.” Chuckled an embarrassed Matt.

“Lies!” said Alex, pointing his finger at him.

“Ah, give Matt a break, Alex. It’s bad enough that we smoke him all the time in the Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments every week.” Interrupted Alan, who was sitting opposite to Matt.

“Hey, who’s side are you on, Alan?!” asked Matt quickly, turning around again.

“I’m just telling it like it is.” He shrugged.

“So, are we going to finish our turn, or what?” he asked, picking up the cards set aside off the table and into his hand.

“Oh, right, right. Um, I’ll end my turn and mill three cards with Lumina and Lyla.” Answered Matt, quickly dropping six cards from his deck to the graveyard.

“So what are you guys doing here?” asked Carlos, his voice projected to Joe and Sal.

“We need extra Allures so I can build a Chaos Recruiter deck.” Answered Joe.

“Why extras? You guys are using the ones you do own?”

“Sal is. We just got finished building a Vayu Turbo deck last night.”

“But it’ll never be better than mine.” Interrupted Alan.

“We’ll see, wey.” Said Joe.

“No. My ‘Alan Wings’ deck will always be better than your ‘Pseudo-Alan Wings’ deck because I built my deck from the ground up. It caters to my playstyle. Your netdecked version of my build won’t give you the same results as I’ve had with my deck.”

“Oh yeah?” asked Sal in a mocking tone.

“Wanna bet on it?” asked Alan.

“Sure. What do you have in mind?”

“When you and I duel each other in the finals on Saturday, the loser will have to do whatever the winner says the following Saturday.” Explained Alan.

“Hey, wait a minute! What do you mean, “when you and I duel each other in the finals”?! You don’t know that you and Sal are going to be in the finals! What about me, Chris, and Michael?” asked a raging Joe.

“Nah, you guys won’t make it to the finals. Light-based decks never win. Only Dark-based decks like ‘Alan Wings’ are worthy of making it to finals.”

“Interesting. I’ll accept your challenge, sir, but it can’t be on Saturday. I’ve got an SAT prep exam on Saturday.” Replied Sal.

“Aw, you’re going to get behind in rankings, woman.”

“…..and then? What good with a ranking in a children’s card game do for you compared to placing well on the SAT so you can get into better colleges that you can go to to earn a degree in which you can make a living?”

“Oooooh, burn!” chuckled Carlos.

“If I were you Alan, I’d take this Saturday off too, espcially since you got a 1200 last time.”

“Argh! I thought you said that you weren’t going to bring that up again!” yelled Alan, rubbing his hands all over his head in a frustrated manner.

“That’s it! Screw waiting until next week, you and I are going to duel right now! Loser has to do whatever the winner says for next Saturday!”

Alan quickly picked up his cards and Dark Armed Dragon playmat, stuffed his playmat into his backpack, and then pulled his duel disk out and attached it to his arm before placing his deck inside so the automated deck shuffler could give it a good shuffle.

“So that’s it? Does this mean you scoop, Alan?” asked a surprised Matt.

“Yeah sure, whatever, Matt.” Mumbled Alan.

“Yes! I beat Alan!” cheered Matt, thrusting his arms up into the air.

“But only because he lost interest in the current duel. You didn’t really win, Matt.” Said Alex flatly.

“Hey, don’t ruin the moment!”

“Hm, so what do you think, Sal? Do you wanna accept his request today?” asked Joe, turning to face him.

Sal closed his eyes and chuckled a bit.

“Yeah, sure. I’ll take ‘Allenz’ on, but I’ll be using my own deck for this one, as I’ve got more experience with it than ‘Alan Wings’.” He said calmly.

“That’s fine. Meet me out in the parking lot!” said Alan, opening the door and walking outside, the chime echoing loudly in the store again.

“Alan always gets so fired up, doesn’t he?” asked Grace, walking out from her office with her arms folded, shaking her head in disappointment.

“Woah, I was wondering when you were going to show up, Grace!” said a surprised Joe.

“I was busy on my computer, but I saw you guys walk in when I looked up at the camera monitors. Well, good luck, Sal.”

“Haha, thanks. It’s going to be fun cutting Alan’s overinflated ego down to size for the upteenth time. For some reason, it never gets old for me.” Chuckled Sal, pulling out his duel disk from his backpack and attaching it to his arm as he opened the door and walked outside.

“Oh, a duel between Alan and Sal! I’ve gotta see this!” exclaimed Matt, quickly picking up his cards, placing his deck in his jeans pocket before running out of the store.

“As much as I hate agreeing with ‘Matt the Catt’, any duel between Alan and Sal is epic, so I want to watch it too. Alright Grace, I’ll be taking this Honchkrow Lv.X today.” Said Alex.

“Okay Alex, that’ll be $20!” said Grace happily.

Alex handed Grace a twenty dollar bill before slipping the new Honchkrow card inside his plastic deck box before heading outside.

“That reminds me. Grace, let me get two of those Raging Battle special editions, please.” Said Joe, pulling out his wallet.

Grace pulled out two of the Raging Battle special edition boxes, punched in the numbers on the cash register, then hit the total button.

“Okay, that will be $25.96.”

Joe handed her a twenty, five, and one dollar bill.

“Keep the change.” He said as he turned around and walked towards the door.

“I’d better see this duel too!” said Carlos excitedly, following closely behind Joe.

With a final ‘ping’, Joe and Carlos opened the door and headed outside. After the door slammed shut, the store grew very quiet. As Grace walked back into her office, a malicious smile formed at the corner of her mouth…

In the parking lot outside Beanie Planet…

“Alright Alan, you wanted to have a duel with me, so now you’ve got it! What are the specifics of this wager?” asked Sal.

“If I win, then when you play in the tournament next weekend, you’re going to have to play ‘Pseudo-Alan Wings’, and when you duel me, you will immediately scoop to me, bow down, and admit that I’m the best player here!” gloated Alan.

“Of course, only you would say something that shallow, Alan.” Sighed Sal in annoyance.

“Say what you will for now, Sal, but you’re going to have to swallow your pride when you’re bowing to me! So, I’ve already told you what my punishment was. Now it’s your turn.”

“Ooh, ooh, Sal! I’ve got an idea!” exclaimed Alex, jumping up and down a little.

“What is it, Alex?” asked Sal.

“If you win, make Alan build a deck using a playset of Saggi the Dark Clown!”

“Why Saggi, Alex?” asked Joe, turning to look at him.

“Because Saggi is epic winzorz now that Crush Card is banned!”

Hearing Alex’s answer made Sal chuckle a little.

“Yeah, that sounds like fun, actually. That’s what I’m going to go with, Alan. If you lose, you’ve got to build a deck that uses a playset of Saggi the Dark Clown!” he said.

“You can’t be serious. You’re actually going to go with what Alex suggested?” asked a surprised Alan.

“Eh, why not? It seems like a better punishment than having you walk inside the store with a plastic duel disk attached to your wrist and talking like Yugi all day long.” He chuckled.

“Anyways, let’s begin this duel!” said Sal, activating his duel disk.

“I’ve been waiting for this!” replied Alan, also activating his duel disk.

“DUEL!!!”

(Alan: 4000 LP vs. Sal: 4000 LP)

“Ladies first.” Sneered Alan.

“You cruel woman!” cried Sal in a high pitched voice as he drew his card, placing it in his hand with the rest of the cards before pulling a different card out with his right hand.

“I activate the effect of Orange Gadget! By discarding it from my hand, I send another Gadget monster from my deck to the graveyard to add a level four or lower Gadget monster from my deck to my hand!” explained Sal, sending a copy of Yellow Gadget to the graveyard from his deck to add Blue Gadget to his hand.

“Now I’ll activate my Scrap Trade spell card! Up to twice per turn, I can send a Gadget monster in my graveyard back into my deck to draw a card! I’ll return both Yellow and Orange Gadgets back into my deck, and draw two cards! Next, I’ll summon Green Gadget in attack mode!”

[ ATK – 1400 ]

“Using Green Gadget’s effect, I’ll add Red Gadget to my hand from my deck. I’ll set a card face-down and end my turn.”

Damn. This duel’s barely started and he’s still got a six card hand! Well, at least I know two of the cards…Blue Gadget and Red Gadget. Red Gadget isn’t a threat, but that Blue Gadget could cause problems for me. I’ll have to approach things carefully. Thought Alan, looking at the cards in his hand.

“My draw!” shouted Alan, drawing his sixth card and placing it into his hand.

“I activate Heavy Storm to destroy your two backrow cards!” shouted Alan, slipping the card into one of the spell / trap zone slots.

A giant whirlwind swept through the parking lot, shattering the spell and trap cards on Sal’s side of the field.

“Now I’ll activate two Black Whirlwinds from my hand!”

Two?! Thought a surprised Sal as he watched the hologrammed images appear on either side of Alan.

“Since you control a monster and I don’t, I can summon Blackwing – Sirocco the Dawn without sacrifice!”

[ ATK – 2000 ]

“And since Sirocco’s summon was successful, I can add two Blackwing monsters from my deck to my hand that have a lower attack than Sirocco does thanks to my Black Whirlwinds! I’ll add Blackwing – Bora the Spear and Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind, and with their effects, I’ll special summon them to the field!”

[ ATK – 1700 ]

[ ATK – 1300 ]

“I’ll activate Gale’s effect and cut the stats of your Green Gadget in half!”

Gale let out a high-pitched trill as it gave one mighty flap of its wings and created a powerful black razor-sharp whirlwind that cut Green Gadget up pretty badly.

[ ATK – 1400 ---> 700 ]
[ DEF – 600 ---> 300 ]

“Now I’ll use Sirocco’s special ability and power itself up!”

Sirocco let out a deep groan as it glowed a bright orange and drew in power from both Bora and Gale, its body beginning to ripple with muscles.

[ ATK – 2000 ---> 5000 ]

“Sirocco, attack Green Gadget with Black Typhoon!” shouted Alan.

Sirocco let out a deep grunt as it slammed its clawed palms together, then lifted its arms into the air before thrusting them forward, firing a powerful blast of black wind at Green Gadget.

“Looks like that’s game, Sal.” Grinned Alan.

“Not quite! I discard White Gadget from my hand in response to your attack!” shouted Sal.

An astral-projected image of a white machine with metallic white angel wings and a large metallic white sprocket attached to its chest that covered up all of its body except for its head, arms, and legs appeared in front of Green Gadget and absorbed the attack, keeping Green Gadget safe.

“In addition to negating your attack, White Gadget also powers up Green Gadget equal to half of Sirocco’s attack points, so thanks for the free 2500 point boost!” explained Sal.

[ ATK – 700 ---> 3300 ]

“Tch, you got lucky there, Sal. I’ll set two cards face-down and end my turn!” shouted Alan.

“Alright, my draw! I summon Blue Gadget in attack mode!”

[ ATK – 1500 ]

“With Blue Gadget, I’ll revive White Gadget to the field in defense mode!”

[ DEF – 2000 ]

“And I’m not going to let you synchro! I activate Icarus Attack, tributing Blackwing – Bora the Spear to destroy your Green Gadget and Blue Gadget!” interrupted Alan.

After Alan activated his trap card, Bora became charged in electricity and dive-bombed in between both Green and Blue Gadgets, destroying them instantly.

“As expected. Now that I’ve got a couple of Gadget monsters in my graveyard, I can special summon Gadget Devastator from my hand!”

[ ATK – 2200 ]

Ugh, I don’t need that thing taking out both of my monsters! Thought Alan.

“I activate my face-down card, Bottomless Trap Hole!”

A large hole broke the ground that Gadget Devastator was standing on, sending the machine plummeting.

“I’ll set a card face-down and end my turn!” shouted Sal.

“My draw!” shouted Alan.

After looking at the card that he just drew, Alan burst with laughter.

“Man, Sal, things are looking bad for you! You may have stopped the OTK from happening, but I doubt you can stop this! I’ll tune level three Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind with level five Blackwing – Sirocco the Dawn! Clustering hopes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Take flight, Stardust Dragon!!!” shouted Alan.

[ ATK – 2500 ]

“And now that I’ve got exactly three dark-attribute monsters in my graveyard, I can special summon Dark Armed Dragon from my hand!”

[ ATK – 2800 ]

“Using player’s priority, I’ll remove Bora from my graveyard with Dark Armed Dragon’s effect to destroy your White Gadget!”

“Well, I don’t want to be OTK’ed again, so I’ll activate my face-down card, Torrential Tribute!” replied Sal, activating his trap card.

“With Stardust Dragon’s effect, I’ll tribute it to negate your Torrential Tribute and destroy it! Victim Sanctuary!”

Stardust Dragon roared as it transformed into a cluster of shining particles that enveloped Sal’s Trap Card, causing it to slowly fade away while Dark Armed Dragon’s massive spiked tail swept across the playing field, knocking into White Gadget and destroying it instantly.

“Dark Armed Dragon, attack Sal directly! Dark Devastation!” shouted Alan.

Dark Armed Dragon roared viciously as it threw its head back and lunged it forward, expelling hellish black flames that surrounded Sal.

(Sal: 4000 LP ---> 1200 LP)

“I’ll end my turn, and with that Stardust Dragon returns!”

Several small blue-green sparkles surrounded Alan and cumulated with each other until Stardust Dragon rose out from a beam of blue-green light that pierced the evening sky.

[ ATK – 2500 ]

“My draw!” shouted Sal, drawing his card.

“I activate Lightning Vortex! By discarding Red Gadget from my hand, this spell card destroys every face-up monster on your field!” explained Sal.

“I’ll activate Stardust Dragon’s effect again! Victim Sanctuary!” replied Alan very quickly.

Stardust Dragon faded off the field and surpressed the power of Lightning Vortex, causing the card to slowly disappear.

“That’s fine, as I got what I needed to get done finished. Now that I’ve got four Gadget monsters with different names in my graveyard, I can special summon Black Gadget to the field!”

The astral-projected images of Green Gadget, Red Gadget, Blue Gadget, and White Gadget all thrusted their fists up into the air, and a faint light twinkled in the evening sky.

Seconds later, an object tore through the Earth’s atmosphere, its entire body set ablaze as it rocketed down the sky.

“What is that thing?” asked Carlos.

“Hehe, this would be Sal’s boss monster. He’s used it against me a few times when we were playtesting. I’ve always wanted to see what it could do through the Solid Vision system.” Chuckled Joe.

Carlos, Alex, and Matt looked back up at the object after hearing what Joe had to say.

“Wow, that thing’s coming down really fast!” exclaimed Matt.

“If brother were here, I’d bet that he would say, ‘that’s what she said’.” Added Alex.

“Where is that fool?” asked Carlos.

“He’s probably at home reading a Bible or something.” Answered Joe, the sheer randomness from his comment making Carlos bust out laughing.

When the object grew closer and closer, two powerful twin rockets fired and slowed the object’s descent down until it was merely hovering a couple of feet above the ground. The large robot slowly extended each of its limbs one at a time, going from cannonball formation to standing position, its thickly glossy, metallic black arms and legs shining as the Sun’s rays glared off of it. Protruding from its glossy black torso were two large metallic gears, and attached to its back was a single large gear with twin rockets safely tucked between it and its torso. It’s helmeted head had only a thin red bar that served as its ‘eyes’, and a small red light moved back and forth across it before glowing brightly as it pumped its arms and struck its battle pose.

[ ATK – 3000 ]

“Now I’ll activate Black Gadget’s effect! By cutting its attack and defense by a thousand points, every other card on the field is sent to the Graveyard! Gadget Quake!” shouted Sal.

Black Gadget slammed its heavy fists into the ground, creating a powerful earthquake that caused Dark Armed Dragon to stumble backwards before shattering.

[ ATK – 3000 ---> 2000 ]
[ DEF – 3000 ---> 2000 ]

“Now attack him directly! Pulverizing Toss!”

Pulling the large gear that was on its back off and into its hands, it chucked it at Alan, knocking him off his feet as he hit the ground hard.

(Alan: 4000 LP ---> 2000 LP)

“I’ll set a card face-down and end my turn!” he said.

Just like last turn, a blue-green ray of light pierced through the orange sky and struck the ground, and Stardust Dragon emerged out of it with a powerful roar.

[ ATK – 2500 ]

“My draw!” said Alan, drawing his card as he struggled to get back up on his feet.

Alan looked at the card he drew, then looked back at Sal and Black Gadget.

“Stardust Dragon, attack Black Gadget with Shooting Sonic!” he shouted, pumping his fist forward.

Stardust Dragon fired a powerful blast of blue-white energy that tore through the machine’s exposed chest, vaporizing it.

(Sal: 1200 LP ---> 700 LP)

“When Black Gadget is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, I can revive a Gadget monster from my graveyard! Revive, Blue Gadget!”

[ ATK – 1500 ]

“When Blue Gadget is summoned to the field, I can revive Red Gadget to the field!”

[ ATK – 1300 ]

“And using Red Gadget’s effect, I’ll add Yellow Gadget to my hand!”

“Tch, I’ll set a card face-down and end my turn.” Said Alan, starting to wonder if he could really win the duel after all.

“Draw!” shouted Sal, forcefully drawing his card.

“I’ll tune my level four Blue Gadget with my level four Red Gadget! Infinite factories and machines roar at the magnificence of this creation. You’ve grinded my gears for the last time! Synchro Summon and roll out, Gadgenator Ultra!!!”

[ ATK – 3500 ]

“I’ll activate Gadgenator Ultra’s special ability! When its synchro summoned, I can discard any number of Gadget monsters from my hand to draw an equal number of cards from my deck! I discard Yellow Gadget and Gadget Falcon to the graveyard to draw two cards! Now I’ll activate Gadget Falcon’s effect and return it to my deck. Now my Gadgenator Ultra is allowed to attack you directly this turn!” explained Sal, drawing his cards and shuffling Gadget Falcon back into his deck.

C’mon Sal, bring it! I dare you! I’ve got a can of whoop ass with your name on it, and it’s just waiting to be opened! Thought Alan, highly anticipating Sal’s attack.

“Time to end this! Gadgenator Ultra, attack Alan directly! Ultimate Gear Fist!” shouted Sal.

Gadgenator Ultra charged forward, preparing to strike Sal down with one swift and forceful punch.

“I was waiting for that! I activate my face-down card, Black Hurricane! This continuous trap card allows me to negate one of your attacks at the cost of sending a Blackwing monster from my deck to the graveyard! In addition to negating your attack, you take 500 points of damage.” Explained Alan with a smirk as he sent Vayu to the graveyard.

A thick black wall of wind completely stopped Gadgenator Ultra in its tracks, small currents of the wind rushing past it and striking Sal.

(Sal: 700 LP ---> 200 LP)

“I’ll set a card face-down and end my turn!” shouted Sal.

“My draw!” shouted Alan, drawing his card.

Yes! Just what I need to completely humiliate Sal! Thought Alan gleefully.

“Using Vayu’s effect, I’ll remove it and Blackwing – Sirocco the Dawn to special summon Blackwing Armed Wing!”

[ ATK – 2300 ]

“Now that I’ve got a Blackwing monster on my field, I’ll activate Black Storm! Here’s how it works. By selecting a Blackwing monster on my field, I can return all cards on your field to your hand! However, the Blackwing monster I selected can’t attack this turn, which is fine, because that’s where Stardust Dragon will pick up the slack! It was a good game, Sal, but it looks like you’ll be scooping to me next week!” laughed Alan pridefully.

Amidst Alan’s laughter, a small smirk formed on the edge of Sal’s face.

“You should really try to listen to yourself talk sometimes, Alan, it’s really quite amusing.” Chuckled Sal.

“Huh?”

“You say it’s over, but did you even stop to consider that my face-down card is chainable? Allow me to show you then! I activate Deus Ex Machina! By tributing Gadgenator Ultra on my field, I can remove every monster on your field from play and inflict 200 points of damage to your life points for every level on the removed monsters!” he explained.

“What?! No way!”

“Between your Stardust Dragon and Blackwing Armed Wing, you’re going to take 2800 points of damage! Game over, Alan!” shouted Sal.

“EeeeeeeNoooooooo!” cried Alan as Gadgenator Ultra transformed into a beam of yellow-white light that struck him down with tremendous force.

(Alan: 2000 LP ---> 0 LP)

After the dust settled, Sal offered his hand to Alan and helped get him back up on his feet.

“So, it looks like you’ve got some deck planning to do for next week, yo.” Said Sal as he watched Alan dust himself off.

“Yeah, yeah. You beat me fair and square, so I’ll fulfill my end and build a deck with Saggi in it.” Groaned Alan.

“A playset of Saggi!” piped Alex.

“….a playset of Saggi.” Sighed Alan.

“Aw, cheer up, yo! I’m sure you’ll build a kick ass Saggi deck!” said Carlos estatically, giving Alan a thumbs-up.

“Yeah, you’re right! I’m a broken enough guy! I’ll find a way to break Saggi the Dark Clown! Y’allz better watch out next Saturday, because I’m going to make you guys regret allowing my deckbuilding skills to break such a card!” chuckled Alan.

Each of the guys gathered around to share a few words with each other before all heading their separate ways home.

However, unbeknownst to the guys, a cloaked figure witnessed the entirety of the duel from afar…

Brandon: Gadgets do specialize in 1-for-1 control tactics. Since I've been working on my fan fiction, I'd say that coming up with new Gadget cards is my 2nd favorite thing to do, my 1st favorite thing being coming up with new cards for me to use, lol.

Maybe you should put me in your fanfic, and have me using sams with imaginary things like a sam Gale or a sam RotA. And call me Bob or something.

My new favorite card.

[Space Mambo #5]

It'd be banned immediately after released. BRD, torrential, mirror force, etc.

Vincent: Well, I wanted to post chapter 36 up on a new page, so I asked Alex if he'd post something.

I wish Starlight Road was a Counter Trap. :3

Space Mambo #5: I probably will, but when Book Four rolls around. That's going to be a while though. White Cover's going to be 26 chapters, and Black Cover might be about the same length as Book Two was.

I LOL'd. Just make it more broken by bumping it's spell speed. Although it would make sense that it would be a "Counter" to say, Icarus Attack xD

Seriously though, we need more versatile counter-trap cards

[WhiteFury]

Starlight Road should've been a Counter Trap, as the text on the Trap Card would fit a Counter Trap perfectly.

Even though it's a Normal Trap, I wonder if My Body as a Shield can negate Starlight Road, assuming you summon Judgment Dragon / Black Rose Dragon / GB Gyzarus / Celestia and use their effects, and then your opponent chains Starlight Road to that effect. Since Starlight Road would negate the effect and destroy your monster, I think you can chain My Body to stop it.

And if my thoughts on those cards are are correct ruling-wise, then it just furthers my arguement that Starlight Road would've been cooler as a Counter Trap Card. Negate their field-killing card, summon Stardust Dragon, and draw a card off of Bountiful Artemis! Hell yeah!

[ArchKaeser]

You know what you should try?
Bountiful Artemis in X/XX Sabers. Or Bountiful Artemis in Kuriboh OTK.

I don't understand why Judgment of Anubis isn't played.

Because it's situational beyond all hell, stopping only Mystical Space Typhoon, Heavy Storm, and Twister?

(Among others like Stamping Destruction, but even that card is rarely used in Dragons)

Remember, Counter Fairies =/= Situational. The cards need to be as high in utility as possible.

[Arkknight Xeno]

52 chapter book? That's going to take a LONG time knowing how long it takes for you to do just one But hopefully by then I will have something picked out.

[WhiteFury]

Actually, Book Two was made from early February to late August / early September, so that's really not too bad if you think about it.

And hey, quality writing takes time to work on.

[Teacake]

you should make a blog.

i created one. thought it'd be great since I just made a transition to Tech.

maybe the same could work for you.

[WhiteFury]

A blog? It's something that I haven't considered before, but I'm not really interested in starting one though.

Yeah so what's your excuse?

Additional Comment:

Lol, j/k, though I think you went to far with Joe getting a job with his dueling skills xD, no background check or anything, or minority discrimination xD. "Well this guy's a wanted Al-Qaeda member, but since his lightsworn deck is so good and his dueling skill and instinct is impeccable I'm gonna give him this job at homeland security" xD

[WhiteFury]

I like taking a day off in between writing chapters. Don't rush me, wey.

That part made me lol. I actually hadn't thought about that when I was writing the chapter, but then again, it is in El Paso, and you really can't discriminate the majority, lol.

[ArchKaeser]

That doesn't mean I don't do it, I discriminate at every chance I get. even if they're my own Race. If you can't laugh at yourself then you cant laugh at anyone.
