Hello and Goodbye

It's been a while since my last post. For those of you who aren't aware, Yu-gi-oh! Online had been canceled by Konami, and my new series of articles, as a result, became impossible. While I continued to play Yu-gi-oh for a few months after my last post, myself and my friend Wimply both decided to cut bait, sell our cards, and began playing Cardfight! Vanguard. I thank all of you who had previously followed me and read my articles on a regular basis. While my subscriber count was low, my traffic was fairly high, and I hope that my articles helped both new and returning players.

Special thanks go to the following people...

LFN While I did not know you personally, by you giving my a shot out and placing my blog on your feed I got a ton of traffic. Your articles are a great read and my blog would not have lasted as long as it did without the traffic coming from yours, thanks so much.

Dragon Duelist Girl I'm not sure if you became a regular follower or not, but you mentioned me on your channel and my traffic exploded. It was really encouraging to see someone with as many viewers as you give me a shot out. You do great work with your art, vlogs, and cosplay on your blog and I look forward to seeing more content from you.

Thanks to everyone who subscribed, commented, and read my blog. I hope all of you who enjoyed my Yu-gi-oh content and have dabbled in Cardfight! will check out my new blog at https://livebythetrigger.wordpress.com/. It's still new but I intend to post as often as I did in the early days of this blog (once or twice a week) with a wider variety of articles, as well as post deck testing sessions on my new youtube channel

Once again, thank you all. I hope to see you again soon.

Some of you may have noticed I've been gone from blogging over the past few months. I haven't had much chance to play in my local tourneys for a while so I haven't had a ton to post about. I am still playing casually with some friends and have a couple decks I will try to share with you folks in the coming weeks.

I'm doing something different today, I decided to post some game play of a match on Yu-Gi-Oh! Online. I do, overall, prefer it over dueling network simply because the rules are pre-programmed so theres no question about what should or should not be legal. I plan on posting a video soon regarding the program as a whole, and pros and cons compared to actual dueling.

I hope you enjoy the video, I'd love some feedback, I'm planning on posting more videos like this if you folks enjoy it.
