"Duel Distractions"

[Silver]

Duel Distractions part 1 aired today, and of course, I watched it. And, considering the theme of the episode, I was prepared for the worst- another hot sauce duel, or worse.
I was expecting 4Kids censoring left and right, considering 3 things- the amount of Taniya's cleavage that was visible, a marriage proposal to a minor, and said minor accepting said marriage proposal. I was surprised when they didn't edit any of this. I expected them to maybe change "husband" to "boyfriend" or something similar, because Bastion is only 15 years old and has quite obviously not gotten conset from a legal guardian to get married (even though in the end they don't).
Actually, this episode wan't too bad. The best part was at the beginning when Bastion used Barrel Dragon to wake up Jaden, Syrus, and Chumley. ^^

lol. i agre with ya. and your saying....quote thing...

[Alotrel]

Yeah, I loved Barrel Dragon. As for the duel, I thought it was ridiculous. Some of the most annoying card names I've ever heard (stupid magnets), and the whole love thing going throughout the whole duel was a pain. I agree with Jaden when he says "Does this flight have a barf bag?"

[KudoKid]

i am now wondering if thoes now magnet guys are coming out. i want them SO bad now!

[Alotrel]

I didn't think they were that good. If anything the Plus/Minus would probably just make coming up with a good strategy even harder then it really needs to be. Of course, they might be effective, but that duel didn't convince me.

[cherish]

needs more magnet cards

[ebooks100]

the magnit cards were awesome plus they alreany have gama bata and alpha and volcarion

[Grif]

yeah and im pretty sure more will come out
i mean bastion wouldnt make a magnet deck with 4 monsters

[Alotrel]

All the ones he used were brand new, perhaps we'll see it in the set following Shadows of Infinity.

[KudoKid]

it was an earth deck not magnet. and do you think he put Last Magnet in there?

[KudoKid]

well mabye but the one after soi is based around e heros and d heros. i think were gonna see a lot more hero deck with the duelist packs coming out and that booster set.

I wouldn't be so sure. Yeah, it may focus on it, but that in no way means that is the only thing in there. Every expansion seems to have one or two major themes, along with a bunch of minor themes and regular singles (no specific theme). Here's an example based on Elemental Energy:

Major Themes: Dark World, Elemental Heroes
Minor Themes: VWXYZ, Knights, B.E.S. , Familiars, GX Character Releases (Alexis, Bastion, Chazz)
Singles: Weed Out, The Creator, Pot of Avarice, Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys, etc.

Assuming your comment about the set following SOI is correct, the main themes will be E-Heroes and D-Heroes. That still leaves plenty of room for other minor sets (Magnets could be considered fairly minor), as well as other helpful minor sets and singles.

BTW, in response to your comment about his deck type, yes, I know it is an Earth deck. However, you already know his Water deck focuses primarily on bringing out the Geddons and Water Dragon. In the same way his Earth deck focuses primarily on the Magnets, and probably also contains some other cards as support.

i thought the 2nd part was pretty good, but shouldnt Jaden have gone to 0 as well?

[Alotrel]

No. The rules say once one player drops to 0, the duel is over. Since the card does 200 damage in two 100 damage intervals, she dropped to 0 while he was still at 100. He won the duel fair and square utilizing her own card.

The second part wasn't too bad, I was a little upset that they cut out the hot-sauce part though.
