The Chronicle of Baronia

Its been a while since I update this blog lol. But since the main site is finally down, let me start again.

Upcoming things, on this and the unofficial official dmcomet blog:

1. Translation and set review updates
2. Deck update

Updated caster deck coming tonight, stay tuned for anyone that read this blog anymore.

I really don’t know how to use tumblr right…but oh well

It’s been a while since I write anything, but here I am, writing a set review again.  I found out that I skipped maybe 2-3 set reviews, oh well, it just take too long to write a freaking review sometimes.

1. SET THEME

Cosmo Blazer, for the name sake of the set, is a set about one and only one thing (almost): Fire Attribute monsters.  Out of the 53 monsters, 36% (19/53) are Fire Attribute monsters, a pretty high number consider that anything not Light or Dark are pretty rare, more so for Fire Attribute and Wind Attribute.  Both of the two new non-anime themes in this set are Fire Attribute: the “Flame Star” monsters and “Haze” series of cards.

Otherwise, the set include the usual doze of anime cards, with a bunch of new ZEXAL Weapon cards, some more Medallion Beast (紋章獣), Mermail (水精鱗) from last set, and the Magical (魔導) cards introduced 2 sets ago.

2. The useful stuff

I will skip to the chase to the list of cards that are decent to use with some quick comment:

- Amarylease: It is a rarity now that monsters are Advance Summon, but this little critter at least provide effect that is essentially free, outside of taking up slots in decks…
- Exceeds Remora: Trading an Exceeds materials for another Exceeds monster, not a bad trade necessary…
- Medallion Beast Basilik: Pretty evil, 1-for-1 destruction
- Medallion Beast Twinhead Eagle: Useful with cards like Ragia or Paradios
- Medallion Beast Unicorn: trading for No.8…not too bad
- Agile Flame Star - Seiyun: It’s OK, but very reactive
- Brave Flame Star - Enshou: Key card #2 of Flame Star deck (monster-wise)
- Dark Flame Star - Yushi: Another pretty good utility for Flame Star
- Mini Flame Star - Ryuushishin: Key card #1 of Flame Star deck…
- Majestic Flame Star - Suneirin: It search for trap…
- Prestige Flame Star - Hienshak: A little hard to special summon, but so far the only bigger Flame STar monster…it’s OK but can be better
- Haze Beast Cerberus: It search and easy to summon (for XYZ), so yeah…
- Haze Beast Gryphus: XYZ feeders, really…
- Haze Beast Peryton: 1 for 2…not bad
- Mermail - Abyssdine: Like Mermail is not fast enough…
- Mermail - Leadabyss: Absolutely the best card in the set, it is basically a must-considered for anyone building a Mermail deck
- Magical Dark Knight La Mort: At minimum, an alternative choice to Junon
- Valkyrie Knight: pretty decent Warrior type boost
- No.92: Hard as heck to summon, but almost a sure win once it comes out…
- Chief Flame Star King - Souko
-

There MAY actually be more cards…

Ritua (Gishki) is one of the organizations in Duel Terminal storyline.  Its story background is related to one of Ice Barrier, but use the Ceremonial Mirror to do Ritual arts.

Mechanically, as is the name-sake, it is related to Ritual monsters.  The whole idea of the deck is to recycle and search for Ritual pieces as a boost for Ritual summon.

This deck uses only OCG cards.  Since Duel Terminal 14 is not released yet, the cards in the set are not yet included in this deck.

Deck Description:

The idea of an Inzecter deck is to use the combo between the 3 Inzecters: Hornet, Centipede, and Damsel.  With Hornet in Graveyard or Hand, the card can be equipped onto Centipede or Damsel, which can be used to then either use effect to destroy a card, or give boost to special summon the other Inzecters for Exceeds summon.  Ally Genex Birdman (and in some version, Effect Veiler) is used as the Tuner for Synchro (both are great Tuners for decks without one).
