A Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Wall of Text Review: STRUCTURE DECK Samurai Warlords

      Well sometimes I wonder exactly what they think when they release new decks (or tins for that matter) and it just seems like they're trying to fix the game a bit when it comes to balancing issues in organized play.  Granted unlike Magic The Gathering where it is only the last so many sets that are allowed in tournament use, Yu-Gi-Oh! has only its shifting ban list and the sometimes crazy market for selling individual cards to keep it...well enough of such talk, back to the deck
      The cover of the box is Shadow of the Six Samurai - Shien, the new Xyz made for this deck, and while we received this deck the OCG received a new water Structure Deck, and with any luck eventually we'll have it as well.  If you ever wanted to build a Six Samurai deck, this is a decent base to modify with any other Six Samurai cards you may have or want to put in.  Now, let's get a talking.

Carfight!! Vanguard: A Cursory Glance

      I picked this up a little while back, and I'll do a proper review on the game itself when I get a chance to pick up the other deck.  If you don't know about Cardfight!! Vanguard, in short it was created with a melding of the minds from Duel Masters and Yu-Gi-Oh! R (which if that doesn't sound familiar it was an alternate original series Yu-Gi-Oh! manga which is the origin of The Wicked Dreadroot, Eraser, and Avatar cards), and overall its a rather nice game, but again I'll do a proper Wall of Text on that in another post.  The great thing though in short is that this game's first rule is "everything the card says is true" and "consult the manual if needed" as the mat/quick rules it comes with have the basic layout of what you can do on them.
      More to come later on this though, for those curious I bought this for $20US at a retail store that randomly had them.  I've known about the game for a while though.  If interested here is the official website.  http://cf-vanguard.com/en/
