Today is a fissure day. Just got the info. Luckily the exhibition match is tomorrow, so I don’t have to worry about being late.

Unika was training for it. Meaning she was trying to butter up Fantasia and Tahlia so she can learn my secret technique. But she still decided to share the time to come help me, saying that it will be a good chance for us to work together while using Manamorphic Body.

And the fissure was decent for that. We faced a group of four S-ranks monsters, two for each of us. And to challenge ourselves, all attacks had to use Manamorphic Body.

I won’t tell you how we did it, as it will ruin some of the surprises for tomorrow, but we had fun, took down the S-ranks and Exodia closed the fissure.

And after we got back to HomeBase, and Unika got back into the Factory to sweettalk the girls, I headed to my office for some pack opening fun.

----------------------------------------

And today’s set is Dimension of Chaos. The document set. I mean, the set code is DOCS.

Why is every set code from this era amazing? Crossed Souls is CROS. Clash of Rebellions is CORE. And now DOCS.

But let’s see what we get from 10 packs.

Spoiler

DOCS 1

D/D/D Contract Change; D/D Savant Kepler; Dark Contract with Errors; Super Soldier Rebirth; Grand Horn of Heaven; Dr. Frankenderp; Psychic Blade; Superheavy Samurai Thief; Graydle Slime

[collapse]

Oh. Dark Contracts are here. D/D. What a deck. Until Links and master rule 4 made it trash.

D/D/D Contract Change is not worth it. Conditional trigger which you might not meet before the trap is destroyed, and either limited searching or attack lowering as the payoff. If it was a trap you could activate whenever you want, it might actually be alright. Also Contract Change. Why doesn’t it change one Dark Contract for another?

D/D Savant Kepler’s Pendulum effect sucks. Just lowering its own scale. But the monster effect is great. Searching Dark Contracts is really nice.

Dark Contract with Errors is okay, negating all other traps, but it isn’t usually worth running.

Super Soldier Rebirth means that BLS - Super Soldier is in this set. I think. It isn’t a good card, but good to know there is BLS support in this set.

Grand Horn of Heaven is nice. Negating a summon is good, giving your opponent a draw isn’t, but they have to end their main phase immediately afterwards, so the card loops back around to being good.

Dr. Frankenderp is meh. Maybe it has its uses, but I don’t want to use Frankenderp.

Psychic Blade is great. For many reasons. First, it is just a 2k equip spell. But the real secret is the possibilities it has when using it for Installs. I can install it into a sword and make a legendary sword that will increase your strength by the amount of HP you give it. Or you can install it into a person and it should transform into a skill that will let them pay HP to boost their own strength.

Superheavy Samurai Thief is nice for TCG use, but a bit too specific for me.

And Graydle Slime is good. And there probably are more Graydles in this set. So mind control monsters. … not sure how I feel about that, but they might come in handy.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 2

Graydle Eagle; Dark Contract with the Gate; Dark Contract with the Witch; Dark Contract with the Swamp King; Majespecter Fox - Kyubi; Kozmo Lightsword; D/D Swirl Slime; Grand Horn of Heaven; Toon Barrel Dragon

[collapse]

Graydle Eagle is a Graydle. I can’t say anything more about it. Almost all Graydles do the same thing.

Dark Contract with the Gate is probably the best Dark Contract. Once per turn searching is nice.

Dark Contract with the Witch is good. Destruction that you can use on either player's turn. And the attack gain is also nice.

Dark Contract with the Swamp King is once per turn fusion summoning. And I do like how the name references King of the Swamp, which is a fusion substitute monster that can be discarded to search for a Polymerization.

Spoiler

[collapse]

Majespecter Fox - Kyubi searches for a Majespecter trap when summoned.

Kozmo Lightsword is a lightsaber! Maybe an off-brand one, but it is still a lightsaber. I need to make one. Just because I can.

D/D Swirl Slime is just fusion summon D/D/D. But the decks wants to do that, so it is nice.

And Toon Barrel Dragon is bad. Too expensive to summon for very little payoff. Even though I can summon it for free.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 3

Grand Horn of Heaven; Raidraptor - Skull Eagle; D/D/D Contract Change; Kozmoll Wickedwitch; Kozmo Lightsword; Raptor's Ultimate Mace; Majespecter Crow - Yata; Super Soldier Soul; Sphere Kuriboh

[collapse]

Raidraptor - Skull Eagle is not that good. The rank 3 Raidraptor isn’t worth summoning, and Skull Eagle doesn’t help.

Kozmoll Wickedwitch is fine. Sure she isn’t that great for my use, but in the TCG she is good.

Raptor's Ultimate Mace is too situational. If it let you add a RUM to your hand whenever the equipped Raidraptor battles, it would be great. But as it is, it is just an okay equip.

Majespecter Crow - Yata adds Majespecter Spells to hand.

Super Soldier Soul can have 3k attack, but the banish to search is much better.

And Sphere Kuriboh forces an attacking monster into defense, and it can be used as a ritual material while in the GY.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 4

Pot of The Forbidden; Superheavy Samurai Soulclaw; Graydle Eagle; Frightfur March; D/D/D Human Resources; Fluffal Wings; Graydle Split; Vector Pendulum, the Dracoverlord; Performapal Secondonkey

[collapse]

Pot of The Forbidden is great. So many amazing effects to pick from. And for me, it is free. … but let’s be honest here. Most of the time, Pot of The Forbidden will just be making me pack tokens in the Factory.

Superheavy Samurai Soulclaw is a 500 attack and defense boost, plus battle destruction protection.

Frightfur March is too situational.

D/D/D Human Resources can be alright if you have the D/D monsters in the GY for it.

Fluffal Wings is just “If, when, if and if you do, draw 2 cards”. It isn’t bad, but just badly worded.

Graydle Split is fine, it works with the stealing style of Graydles. And it specials from the deck, so I can get all the Graydles.

Vector Pendulum, the Dracoverlord is a super rare for some reason. Maybe because it negates the cards in your opponent’s Pendulum zones. Not that I’ll ever need that effect.

And Performapal Secondonkey either mills or searches for a Performapal.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 5

Graydle Cobra; Raidraptor - Wild Vulture; Graydle Split; Kozmoll Wickedwitch; Performage Plushfire; D/D Savant Galilei; Superheavy Samurai Soulhorns; Superheavy Samurai Transporter; Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju

[collapse]

Graydle Cobra is a Graydle. Specifically the Trap Graydle.

Raidraptor - Wild Vulture tries to help the Skull Eagles, but it also sucks.

Performage Plushfire is stupidly overpowered. It got banned for a reason.

D/D Savant Galilei isn’t nearly as good as Kepler. Mainly because you can’t actually summon it. Not that it has an on summon effect.

Superheavy Samurai Soulhorns allows the equipped Superheavy Samurai to attack twice.

Superheavy Samurai Transporter is stupid. Why would I give my opponent 2 monsters, while also tributing Transporter, just to draw 2? I mean I guess you could use them with Battleball for a Synchro summon, but there are easier ways of Synchro summoning.

And Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju is great. Even outside of what it is usually used for. Negate and banish is nice, and it isn’t once per turn.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 6

Contract Laundering; Superheavy Samurai Thief; D/D Swirl Slime; Dark Contract with the Witch; D/D Savant Kepler; Graydle Cobra; Majespecter Tempest; D/D/D Wave King Caesar; Beginning Knight

[collapse]

Contract Laundering is fine. You get to both get rid of your Dark Contracts before they burn you, and you get to draw cards. And gain life points. Sure most of the time you want to keep your Contracts, but sometimes you might want to get rid of them.

Majespecter Tempest is awful. … when you play against it. It is a good card. I just hate Majespecters. The playstyle of negating everything just doesn’t feel good to me. Let’s instead just see which one of us can summon out the bigger monster.

D/D/D Wave King Caesar is situational, but fine.

And Beginning Knight is decent BLS support. Just decent. It honestly seems better than it actually is.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 7

Majespecter Storm; D/D Savant Kepler; Majespecter Tempest; Super Rush Headlong; Frightfur March; Kozmo Lightsword; Superheavy Samurai Soulhorns; Superheavy Samurai Drum; Performapal Helpprincess

[collapse]

Majespecter Storm. … do I need to say anything? Yes it is good. No, it doesn’t make me like Majespecters.

Super Rush Headlong is boring. At least the OG Headlong Rush boosted attack stat.

Superheavy Samurai Drum specials a Superheavy Samurai from the GY when it is destroyed.

And Performapal Helpprincess is just a free special summon.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 8

Majespecter Crow - Yata; Igknight Veteran; Dark Contract with Errors; Graydle Alligator; Deskbot Jet; Superheavy Samurai Thief; Majespecter Storm; Majespecter Unicorn - Kirin; Igknight Reload

[collapse]

Igknight Veteran is an Igknight.

Graydle Alligator is the Spell Graydle.

Deskbot Jet I legitimately forgot about. As in, I did not remember that Deskbots had a Synchro monster. It isn’t bad, it just isn’t amazing either.

Majespecter Unicorn - Kirin. I hate this thing. Why would you design a monster like this!? It is a pain in my ass whenever I play against Majespecters. Also, why is Kirin just Rare?! It should be like a ghost rare so that no one can acquire one.

Igknight Reload is too situational.

Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 9

Raidraptor - Skull Eagle; D/D Savant Kepler; Psychic Blade; Dark Contract with Errors; Pot of The Forbidden; Super Soldier Soul; Frightfur March; Kozmoll Wickedwitch; Graydle Slime

[collapse]

Welp. That’s a nothing new here. Next pack.

Spoiler

DOCS 10

Kozmo Lightsword; Majespecter Tempest; Majespecter Crow - Yata; Grand Horn of Heaven; Contract Laundering; Super Rush Headlong; Deskbot Jet; Majespecter Storm; Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju

[collapse]

And nothing new here either. Shame.

Well, it is what it is. I did get two supers and one ultra from 10 packs, so not bad.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go check if Unika learned my secret technique. Because if she did, I need to convince a certain someone of an idea I had. I know she won’t like it, but if she goes along with it, I can have a surprise over the surprise I already had.
