Complexity of gamestate

    One of the numerous things I learned while reading Yugioh articles, which you can find in the librarie here, is the notion of complexity of gamestate.

Life break

      Life break X is an acronym for the official wording "When your life is X or less". Most of the times life breaks are put on spells and they simply cannot be activated if you don't meet the condition.
       The most famous spells with Life break are Dragonic grimoire and Abyss symphony which both have their own clones.
        What do they mean to the game, and how should to play around it ?

Rate a deck

     I want to thank Bradley Stone, Wesley Small, Osvaldo, Reversed, Kingofthepanda and Taigon who took time to answer my question. It really helped !

   Now that we know how decks are played according to their playstyles, we can see it's strengh and weaknesses.

    Knowing a deck strengh and weakness is a very interesting thing : it can help your build by letting you know what you should look to fix with personnal techs, and let you know what you should keep in mind while playing the deck.
     And it is a very good reflection exercice : you will rearrange the ideas you get from the playtests.

     This is why I highly recommend to any Buddyfight content creators to do the same. Not only it is usefull for the viewer / reader, but it will also help you have clearer ideas (I did it with Wizard and Purgatory knight, and it was usefull).

Rate a deck part 1 : Deck style

     This article is the beggining of a two article serie to define all the criteria for a deck.
When I talk about deck, i mean archetype. Not someone's build. We consider the most optimal build of the archetype.
    As much as possible I want to make something general where everybody will agree with. This is why I picked opinion on this subject.
     I want to thank Bradley Stone, Wesley Small, Osvaldo, Reversed and Kingofthepanda who took time to answer my question. It really helped !

     We will first see what are all the styles a deck can have, what playstyle does it run.

The buddy mechanic on a next level

   So far, there were only three strategyc points that would affect the decision of your buddy : 

1. It is a four-of in any match up, and is a card that can be played at anytime
2. Ultimate buddy shenanigans
3. And finally how easily you can acces to this card. For instance you can search drum with form a party, he is a better buddy than a Bladewing phoenix in hybrid decks.

    But now a fourth reason might come into play. Reason that may push the buddycall to another level.

How to calculate the effectiveness of the card.

    Not only will this post help you as a player, but it will also make writing article easier for me.

    Don't overestimate, this article will not set  the world on fire, and if you are familliar with card games, this won't break your habits.
   Still, Buddyfight has its proper ressource management system and has his subleties. This is due to the incredibly fragile stock of life and the gauge.

Bushiroad hates him, progress in Buddyfight with one magic trick

    I found a way to progress in Buddyfight. It is fast, easy and free (yes my blog does that but this is not what i am thinking about).
    You just need to read the rulebook. That may seems stupid but the one given with the Trial Decks is very basic and leave you in a very shady position. It won't answer all your questions, but it will at least answer most of them.
    So what are you waiting for ? Clic on this link and read the god d**n rulebook.
