YOTSG 2017
Hello everyone. Apologies for the lack of updates again. I have a feeling I might have to repeat this message quite a few times over the next few months as I adapt to college life.
YOTSG 2017 is this coming weekend, a two-day event from 2nd to 3rd September.
I (Ken Sir) will be involved with the written coverage of the event. For updates regarding the event, kindly keep a lookout on BeyondTheDuel and YgoEvents.
GeoTheBacon and SanganFTK will be participating as judges.
Number 4 and 5 -K.Xavage & Traveller of the Burning Herpes are occupied with their school work and committments.
So the only representative of Dueling "C" this time round will be.......
The one that looks like Shurit and sized like Shurit, who loves Shurit, Strategist of the Nekroz:
At this rate I doubt Dueling "C" will make a name for ourselves anytime soon lol... Additionally, the next few posts on the blog will be written coverage on Duel Videos. This serves as part of my 'warm-up' and preparation. I hope everyone enjoys reading it. Let me know if you would like to see more of such Written Commentary/Coverage on the blog.

Yosenjus in August 2017 OCG
My recent posts have been mostly about Pendulum Monsters, which is funny that I almost forgot that Yosenjus were introduced as a Pendulum Summoning archetype.
While there aren't any surprising new addition to the family, an idea that has been dormant for quite some time might just have what it takes to bring my favourite archetype back to its former glory.
Yosenju Divine Mountain Wind debuted in Dimension Box LIMITED EDITION
Mayosenju Daibak has been around for even longer but has never really caught on. The restrictions placed on its Monster Effect was simply too harsh and the Pendulum Effect did not really compensate for it. In terms of its Monster Effect, it could not compare to the late Majespecter Unicorn - Kirin either. Hence Mayosenju Daibak never really saw much play.
Now that Master Peace the TruedracoSlaying King has taken a backseat in the metagame, Pendulum Summoning is probably much easily to achieve. I also recalled Rippling Mirror Force giving me tons of trouble when I attempted direct attacks with Yosenju Kama 2. Glad that it has seen a fall in usage since then.

There are a few ideas involved in the deck.
In my opnion, for the deck to succeed in being Anti-Meta, it would have to balance between choosing to Normal Summon or Pendulum Summon, careful to play around any Solemn Judgment or Solemn Warning.
Slow Life is worth consideration but probably not in this build. Its effect is likely to pose a problem for plenty of current meta decks.

Yes, former glory implied that it was glorious once
YES IT WAS
Yosenju Divine Mountain Wind debuted in Dimension Box LIMITED EDITION
Normal Spell
If you control no monsters: Activate 1 of these effects;
● Add 1 Level 5 or higher "Yosenju" monster from your Deck to your hand.
● Place 1 "Yosenju Shinchu L" and 1 "Yosenju Shinchu R" from your Deck in your Pendulum Zones, but destroy them during your opponent's next End Phase.
For the rest of this turn after this card resolves, you cannot Special Summon monsters, except "Yosenju" monsters.

There are a few ideas involved in the deck.
- Mayosenju Daibak not only clears threats but also returns the searched-and-placed Pendulum Scales (by Yosenju Divine Mountain Wind) back to the hand.
- Supreme King Gate Infinity functions as a high-scale which can interact with both Yosenju Shinchu L and Yosenju Shinchu R
- Shinchu L remains to act to fufil the condition for Yosenju's Secret Move
- Mayosenju Daibak is Level 10. Two of them can summon Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max. This is an extension of how Level 4 Yosenju rush used to rely on Gagaga Cowboy to finish the job.

Deck Profile: Mist Valley Pendulum Magicians
We previously mentioned about Pendulum Magicians, during last week's post.
However I neglected to mention another engine that is unfazed by the Link Mechanics and remains splashable in Pendulum Decks.
Mist Valley Apex Avian.

A Dedicated Post
@Beeeno_seihai04 (Yuki) recently visited Singapore for academic studies. We met on the Twitter and he provided me with valueable advice during my stay in Japan. Recently, we exchanged gifts when we met and I introduced him to some of Singapore's local food. Or anything that you seldom get the chance to eat in Japan.
It was hilarious witnessing him seeking salvation after eating Chilli or Tom Yum, and cringe at the taste of Durian Milkshakes.
As a promise to him and a means of thanking him for his gift, I promised to upload a dedicated blog post about his gift. I would also like to take this oppurtunity to share with readers the new inventory of cards that I have just received.
