Yu-Gi-Oh!:4th birthday

May 26th 2009 marks the 4th birthday of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki. The site would like to thank all contributers, who have made the site what it is after 4 years.

Party


The kick off the celebrations we bring you "Space Gift" as the birthday-themed Featured Card.

"Draw 1 card for each "Neo-Spacian" monster you control with a different name."

Although it may have served Jaden Yuki well in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, it doesn't see major usage in the real life metagame. However to make some usage of the ribbon wrapped present, the player must swarm the field. The ideal scenario is to have at least 3 different "Neo-Spacians" out, in order to gain card advantage. One such way is to use this in conjunction with the other celebration-themed card "Cocoon Party"; After dumping multiple "Neo-Spacians" in the Graveyard, the player then plays "Cocoon Party" to swarm the field, with "Chrysalis" monsters, followed by "Cocoon Rebirth" to evolve them.

1 year of Yu-Gi-Oh!
The past year has granted quite an impact on the Trading Card Game. Firstly June brought Light of Destruction, whih introduced "Honest" and the "Lightsworns" to the game. "Lightsworns" quickly hit the tournament scene, as they quickly ran through their Decks, using their built in Mill effects and allowing "Judgement Dragon" to clear the field and swing for 3000 damage a go.

Subsequent Sets brought Synchro Monsters from the anime to players' Extra Decks. These monsters quickly gained populartity from their anime apearance and much easier Summoning requirements than their neighbors the Fusion Monsters. Among these monsters included the Five Dragons, particularly "Stardust Dragon", which garnered both praise and criticism for its astounding power. The Five Dragons quickly gained support with later sets, including "/Assault Modes" and "Savior" forms.

In regards Forbidden & Limited lists, players found "Chaos Sorcerer" (a card which is no stranger to tournament winning Decklists) return. This allowed the Twilight Deck concept to kick-up a level.

The anime fandom was kept entertained as Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's continued. Mysteries over the identity of the fifth Signer and the motives of the Dark Signers kept fans in suspense. Fans are the card game were pleased with the arrival of the "Earthbound Immortals". However they may be disappointed or keeping their fingers crossed, as the eerie Dark Synchro Monsters didn't make it outside the anime.

The video games Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Wheelie Breakers gave fans the chance to experience a somewhat VR thrill of the life of a 5D's character.
