Soldier is definitely broken, but it doesn't work with every deck instantly.
Honest, now... it can be splashed for anything. I find it in the same boat as Sangan. Easily splashable and causes nothing but OTK's. I'd ban it before Soldier, since that isn't a true OTK causer.
I can cause an OTK using Honest with any Light monster and a Double Attack. Soldier cannot cause an OTK unless he's fighting a super weak monster and is equipped with something really strong(like Axe of Despair), and even then...
Yeah, thanks to the ruling since that's how it was meant to be played. :P
Anyway, swarming the field with Ultimate Offering and some Gadgets isn't hard either. There's more than one way to get generate Tokens. Dandylion comes to mind.
There was another one. Oh, wait, it was "select any card from anywhere and play it."
This card is dumb because of the making it impossible to play more than once. The other is because it's broken in itself. That, and the idea of playing any card from any game where the rules are different...
I got a ruling from a judge once that you could use Death Wish to grab a non-MTG card, but it wouldn't do anything and the card would effectively have no characteristics. That gets us halfway there, I guess.
You see, once upon a time there was a card called Chaos Orb. Chaos Orb, along with Falling Star, required actual physical actions to be used, resulting in messy situations that were so difficult to adjudicate that both cards were (and remain) banned from tournament play. One particularly enduring story involves a player who was in the Finals of a major tournament (before Chaos Orbwas banned) and realized that he had one way to win: by tearing up his Chaos Orb and sprinkling the pieces on his opponent's cards. Supposedly it was this incident that led to Chaos Orb and Falling Star getting banned, and the story is famous enough that it inspired a card inUnglued, Chaos Confetti.
Well, in addition to the origin of the Iron Man format, some shenanigans with Ring of Ma'Rûf andJyhad (Wizards' other major TCG at the time), and a truly horrifying story about thirty Black Lotuses and some turpentine, this edition of "According to Mr. Pling" includes a purely hypothetical, just-for-fun compilation of eight silly things you are definite not allowed to do withChaos Orb ... including, you guessed it, ripping it up and sprinkling it on your opponent's cards.
Now, maybe the urban legend is true. Maybe the person who did that inspired this list, or was inspired by it. Maybe. But rumors in the wider world often begin with "Wouldn't it be neat if ...?" and end up as "I heard about this crazy thing that happened ....", and I find it a lot easier to believe that that's what happened here.
...It is not confirmed, but it could be real. What you think? I'm hating on the stall/lockdown cards, and the Reborn Tengu seems a pointless hit with Glow-Up Bulb and Spore(the only cards that ABUSE it) banned...

That sounds like the kind of daft thing that would happen in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime or something similar.
Or like Pokémon, with the sprinklers in Brock's gym.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Using my Catapult Turtle, I can launch Gaia the Fierce Knight Dragon Champion at your Castle of Illusions, shattering its flotation ring and causing it to collapse on top of your monsters!

^^I know. I just had to make the reference, though.
My friends introduced me to the Yu-Gi-Oh CCG and I've been a fan ever since, though not that good a player. I run a mostly Control Ancient Gear Deck.
Do any of you guys have Dueling Network accounts? It's the Yu-Gi-Oh CCG online, basically a browser-based version of Cockatrice for Yu-Gi-Oh. If you have an account you should put it here. I'm IsThisTaken?
That's my deck. A few notes:
* My main regrets are the lack of Lightning Vortex and Solemn Judgment. But I don't like really large decks; this one is still a bit too big for my liking.
* Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem is not there to actually fight on the battlefield but to be consumed by Destruct Potion. That gives me tons of health and gets another Ancient Gear Golem on the battlefield.
* Some of the monsters, notably D.D. Lady and Machine King Prototype, are there simply to keep a constant stream of monsters. I've had way too many matches recently where I haven't gotten monster cards for, like, five turns.
* I fail to see the point of using Reload when you can use Magical Mallet to choose the bad cards in your hand and keep the good. That's why I have two.
* I mainly use Star Blast to bring down the level of the Ancient Gear Engineer so he can be deployed on the field without a tribute and act as a buffer against "kill all monster" trap cards.
I have a Kaiba Corps account, but was unaware of this thingie until today.
Is it free? I will make an account if it is.
As for my decks....mostly old school stuff. I didn't understand the mechanics of Synchro Summoning until rather recently and still don't really get Xyz monsters too well.
It's pretty primitive (you time out if you sit around too long) but it's still good for Duels.
I never really bothered with Synchro Summoning either, but my friend can do some crazy stuff with it. He can summon like two Synchro Summons in three turns. It's ridiculous.
And don't worry, I haven't played in ages. In fact I was about to fire up one of the old GBA games to brush up, but eh. I guess I'll have to flail about hopelessly like an idjit like I always do :D
Anyway, good Synchros? Brionac is the best one that won't be banned. Then there's T.G. Hyper Librarian, Formula Synchron, and Stardust Dragon. All 4 are good staples to have.
The images seem to not be hosting correctly. I also bought World Championship 2011(I'm willing to bet it doesn't have Giga-Tech Wolf again) and the latest Wii version, World Transfer.

The rules of it were logic.
Surprisingly, this made for a highly illogical card game.
random-ass necro
Something amuses me about this card
can't place it, though.
Also, I went on to my YuGiOh Cardmaker account today only to discover that most of the images for my cards have borked.
It's not terribly difficult to replace them (especially for the Yume Nikki fandeck) but still.

I have never gotten back in because I'm pretty much going, "Synchrowhatnow?"
Synchro summoning was actually pretty easy to understand when I took the time to look it up.
Still not familiar with any good Synchro monsters, though.
I'll make an account momentarily.
I know how to Synchro summon, I just don't, generally.
Might build a new deck with a synchro in it, though. Liking this Alien archetype.
or I could just go the TROO OLDSKOOL route and run a Jarmill.
Made an account (same as it is here) and constructed a deck filled entirely with jars.
No strategy whatsoever. Just jars out the ass.
Not Cyber Jar, unfortunately. As he's banned >:/
TRIPLE POST FTFW
and now I have an actual deck
so
y'know
if any of you want a friendly duel.... >.>
It is.
And don't worry, I haven't played in ages. In fact I was about to fire up one of the old GBA games to brush up, but eh. I guess I'll have to flail about hopelessly like an idjit like I always do :D

Any game involving aliens is bound to be fun.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have an extensive fandeck to go create for no fucking reason beyond my own lunacy. =)
Is the cardmaker borked for anyone else (assuming any of you care)?
All I'm getting for pictures are these:
little boxes.
They look different on different web browsers, though.
The only one that's working is the default picture.
