Dlv 15 get.  Also, alien deck vs alien deck is a very strange match

After dropping down to lvl 10 again in the KC cup, I folded and began using the Alien deck I put together.  Now, I'm up to Dlv 14.  Only one more level till the main prize I'm after, though I'll still go further if able.

Also, the last duel ended quite oddly.  The opponent set a spell/trap then summoned Lava Golem to my side.  With only 1600 LP left and no other attacking monster (only setting an Alien Grey), I decided to try attacking with Lava Golem.........it worked and I won right then.   Did they honestly expect me not to try attacking with it when not attacking would have led to likely possible defeat anyway?  I mean, sometimes I set a backrow card just to make them second guess, but usually the opponent calls my bluff.

Also, learned that when nuking the backrow, finish the job and don't think Anti-Magic Arrows will prevent it next turn.  At least I see the potential of Golden Flying Fish now.

For some reason, I thought you would like this

I'm not sure if I should be proud of my stubbornness or annoyed at it.  I just stalled out an Aromamage deck to victory by deckout because their lifepoints got too high and I couldn't chip away at their backrow  (and I used up an anti-magic arrow early on).   At least I can say they were just as stubborn.

Although it did reinforce my dislike of Aromamage a bit more, I have to say that was a very down to wire duel.  

Well, made it to level 12 of the KC cup using my offbeat deck and I got 30 wins for ranked duel' SR ticket.

I think I've had overall worse drawing(?) balance ever since I equipped Y. Yugi with the Balance skill.   The opening hands are slightly better consistently, but not that much.  I just went through 14 turns (I think) before I drew a monster besides Sphere Kuriboh and pretty much used every magic and trap card I had to stay alive somehow  with rampant Gravity Lashes, and Enemy Controllers with a Sphere Kuriboh and a Disruption Wall.

Climbed from starting at Lvl 5 to Lvl 10......not sure if I'll get that much further with the random deck since you go down in rank with consistent losses past rank 10.   Might have to actually sit down and put together a consistent deck.    At least I'm still getting wins for the regular ranked matches, since I want to get max prizes this time around, since I don't just have 5 days to squeeze duels in.

It seems the FMW 4 OST dropped a few days ago and brought remixes of the two original boss' themes.

I'm honestly not too keen on the remix of Meeko's first theme, but it isn't bad.  It just doesn't fit her quite as well.  Original and remix:

I'm not quite sure if Makura's remix fits her as the final boss, but it's too damn good for me to care.

Well, that event is over.  In total, I got this many Duel Energy during the event and was able to buy most of the Ex-traders cards (that Jesee didn't give out himself).   

I spent the last few hours farming Jesee for free (no key cost) experience and getting the 1700 or so crystals I had down to 12.  R.I.P. red gate Jesse,  thanks for all the cats.

Side note:  I just remembered there was a day/night mode earlier today, and the rainbow dragon background looks gorgeous.

Twin Barrel Dragon really must hate Sapphire Pegasus, since that's the third time in a row it's effect activated when I picked Pegasus.  Either that or this is where all my Cup of Ace coin flip luck has been going today......which I would be fine with.

What happened during a duel to meet the "16 ritual monster summoned" requirement of a stage even though they just did the gimmick 3 or 4 stages ago.   I just had to see how high it would go.............. @Wolfox @Ojama Yellow

Not pictured is Jesse missing the coin toss for 'Cup of Ace' 7 times across four duels  and  a bunch of ritual monsters repeatedly cannibalizing each other (thanks to 'Ascending Soul').   Seriously, it's like all my coin toss luck went into Twin Barrel Dragon. 

BTW, thanks for recommending that card to me @Wolfox.  While only occasionally, it has saved a few duels, including some PVP ones.  I've nicknamed it 'Dragonslayer' since it took down two Blue-Eyes players' Blue-Eyes in a row, and a Red-Eyes some time later (though not without a string of misses in-between).

..........well, that's a spam ad thread I never thought I would be seeing here, but there it is.........

While completing some of the inane tasks that DL throws at you for advancing through stages (ei: ten rituals performed; summon three Lvl 7 monsters in one duel), I managed to get Bastion to appear.  Really, with how much waiting for the right card those tasks involved, it really just amounted to a few extra turns of waiting each time..........and hey, higher points I guess.

I like that event Jesse doesn't run on keys, since it makes him nice battle fodder for these.    Also, some of the lvl 27 and 33 NPCs  can genuinely screw you over if you don't get a good start pr if they do......well, only a few   fucking Circus Flip deck.      

Still have about 1,800 fruit pieces stored up that I'm trying to make use of, since 5,200 coins isn't anything when they convert.  Might as well grind him for exp, keys, and his rare cards (which I can convert in Card Trader orbs now).....it seems exp because more of a grind past level 20, which should be expected, I suppose.    I wonder if they will convert the Duel Energy points into anything?

Well, this is sad..........
