YUGIOH MARCH 2010 TIER (SEEMS I WAS WRONG LAST TIME)

It has been some time from 1 March. Now, it's clear that I've made some mistake in one of the article that I posted last month. Now, lets see again...

BLACKWINGS

After the release of 702 DUELIST REVOLUTION, everything changes. It's because of a single card, just 1 card. What card has the impact like that? It's POT OF GREEDEROSITY. If you had no idea about that, just read my previous article. It's just owning. This card will make Blackwings better, if not the best. Blackwings can just forget about thier Blackwing Treasure, and pick up this card. Blackwings players can just make 2 rooms for this card and easily run 2 copies of this card. This card is just much more better than Blackwing Treasure because of the fact that this card will NEVER be DEAD DRAW, but Blackwing Treasure does. Another reason that Blackwings will be big is because they can run ROYAL OPPRESSION without causing many problems to them. Royal Oppression will help them to fight against any top tier deck such as Gladiator Beasts, Infernities and X-saber. Furthermore, this card can negate STARLIGHT ROAD. One of the big play of Blackwings is ICARUS ATTACK which can be negated by Starlight Road. However, if thier Icarus Attack is negated by Starlight Road, they are in troble since their opponents gain a Stardust Dragon. Fortunately, Royal Oppression can negate Stardust Road. Problem is solved then.

FLAMEVELLS CAT

Synchro Cat has fall in its popularity since the limitation of RESCUE CAT. However, the deck begins to rise up when Flamevells monster and REKINDLING are released. They make up the new variant of Synchro Cat, it's called FLAMEVELL CAT. Regional results have proven that it works, it really works. One of the big play of this deck is to use Flamevell Firedog to destroy opponent's monster, it follows by special summoning Flamevell Magician from deck, synchro for a Stardust Dragon. However, this deck tend to has big problem with its consistency. Drawing into bad opening hand will be sucks for the players. However, it's one of the deck which has VERY VERY high EXPLOSIVITY. Once its comboes go on, it can cause huge damage on opponents. Moreover, this deck can run 1 or 2 copies of POT OF GREEDEROSITY to increase its speed and consistency.

INFERNITIES

They're big, really big. But not big enough to defeat Blackwings and Flamevells Cat. Without Pot of Greederosity, Infernities win. With Pot of Greederosity, Infernities lose. I'm not joking. Maybe you'll think how can a card make this much of changes? But it really can. Infernities are one of the deck that can't run Pot of Greederosity effectively. I highly recommend not to run even 1 copy of it. POT OF GREEDEROSITY = you can't win this turn. Infernities highly rely on swarming and synchro spam to win, this card just not suits them. Pot of Greederosity can highly increase the speed and consistency of the deck which runs it. Blackwings is gonna owning as it's the only tier 1 deck that can effectively runs this card.

GLADIATOR BEASTS

None of thier card is touched, but now it's clear that thier time has over. They're good, competitve and strong. But, they're not going to be an unstoppable force again just like they used to be. There're still some decks which are much more stroger than them. Blackwings are thier strongest match-up, and will continue to be. With Pot of Greederosity, Blackwings are harder to beat. Gladiator Beasts can't run Pot of Greederosity as they're not going to give up thier tag system just to use this card. However, to beat some tier 2 decks such as Monarchs, Final Countdown and Plant, Gladiator Beast are more than enough. War Chariot owns them all.

X-SABERS

SABER HOLE has brought this deck to the new level. Saber Hole brokeness is something like Gladiator Beast War Chariot can't compare. However, Gladiator Beast War Chariot has its advantage as it is searchable and recyclable. X-Sabers can gain control of the game with this card. The Shining Darkness has given them some good supports such as XX-Saber Emmersblade, XX-Saber Boggart Knight and XX-Saber Hyunlei which bring them up as a new force to be rockened with. Again, Pot of Greederosity is a nice addition to this deck. Running 2 copies won't hurt.

Decks above are "top 5" which should gain some attention. Don't ask me why, regional results have proven them to be the "top 5".
