The way I understand it, the "strategies" before Vic come down to two possibilities: 1. Appeal the ruling. The sole reason for this is that Judge Chupp allegedly refused to hear evidence from Ty Beard. However, this is because Ty attempted to admit evidence that was already on the record anyway. Or, more specifically, use that as a smokescreen to attempt resubmitting documents that he had previously withdrawn, so he was therefore past the deadline. 2. Have Vic declare bankruptcy so as to deny the defendants the chance to recover the fees and costs. This is a remarkably stupid plan, because while I understand why Vicstans think it would be "owning the defendants" to deny the costs, if your plan hinges on Vic declaring bankruptcy, then... well, how exactly is "Vic is bankrupt" a winning strategy? Putting aside the galaxy brain ascendance of "Vic can win this case if he just declares bankruptcy!", apparently Vic and his mom signed a deed back in September to put Vic's house into a trust. So they were already planning to hide his assets before the judge dismissed the remainder of the case. Even if at this point you somehow still believe that Vic is innocent of acting inappropriately in an incident that he had already admitted occurred, he still managed to commit another illegal act when 71% of his case was dismissed. If the only options available to Vic are an appeal without merit or hiding assets in preparation for potentially declaring bankruptcy, I genuinely cannot see a light at the end of the tunnel for him.

EDIT: Looks like Vic is going to end up owing around a million dollars to the defendants, at the very least. It feels good to be right.

The last five claims were just dismissed. Mediation had failed, so Nick Rekieta started lashing out, and his account was suspended in response to him harassing other users.

https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2019/09/06/in-animes-metoo-moment-vic-mignogna-a-no-show-at-tarrant-county-hearing-and-his-case-is-mostly-an-unholy-mess/ https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/18/20870541/vic-mignogna-metoo-accusations-defamation-lawsuit-anti-slapp-laws Judge Chupp has ordered all parties to mediate by Oct. 3, and if that is not successful, then he will rule on the remaining five orders the following day, a few days earlier than the anticipated Oct. 7 ruling. This follows ISWV continued death threats towards him, such as the following examples: "Hello, I just wanted to let you know that judge Chupp is a braindead moron and I sincerely hope someone accuses him of rape. You are the cause of school shootings ... suicides ... hate and violence. Judge Chupp just let a group of open criminals go free, shame on your kangaroo court. When people start uprising I hope your court is the first thing targeted." "Disillusioned -- the strong reminder that justice only leaves the barrel of a gun. When the state fails to defend its citizens, it's only natural that the citizens take care of themselves. It would be a justified kill, and the person doing it can even get annulled for the act of killing and found not guilty for murder." He has called on both sets of attorneys to refrain from inciting supporters. While Rial, Toye, and Funimation do not seem to be inciting anyone, I imagine that Chupp is speaking to both sides so Vic and his legal team would not feel singled out, and could instead be more inclined to adhere to Chupp's requests.

Good riddance to Dragon Links. Happy that Shadow Mist is Semi'd. The past few lists have been brutal to Dark Warriors, and while I don't expect this to help those decks too much, I also don't see much of a reason to keep it at 1 anymore. It's a small change, but one that I appreciate. DAD and Trishula at 3 is weird, but I can't imagine they're as devastating now as they once were, so, probably not too bad.

I find it interesting that the ISWV camp would claim that, if the judge ruled in Vic's favor, then KickVic would complain about the legal system, and still claim that Vic is a sexual predator, no matter what the court said. And yet, now that the judge has dismissed 70% of Vic's claims, ISWV is complaining about the legal system, accusing the judge of either being incompetent or even paid off, and even threatening him on Facebook. It seems that people within ISWV are guilty of behavior similar to, if not even worse than what they claimed KickVic would engage in. https://www.cbr.com/vic-mignogna-lawsuit-failed-fan-rage/ CBR (surprisingly showing some excellent journalism for the first time in a long while) recapped some of the events over these past few weeks, highlighting the toxic behavior that ISWV has engaged in. ComicsGaters have also tried to capitalize on this situation, mostly because some of them don't necessarily seem to care about whether Vic is innocent or not. They just saw this as an opportunity to "stick it to SJWs", and hopped on a bandwagon. I guess they backed the wrong Trojan Horse here.

Given Konami's Level 9 focus as of late, glad to see this.

12 out of 17 claims against the defendants were dismissed. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-09-06/mignogna-civil-case-against-voice-actress-jamie-marchi-dismissed/.150828 Here's a helpful graph illustrating how this case was decimated. Judge Chupp will rule on the remaining claims against Monica Rial, Ron Toye, and Funimation within the next 30 days. Vic is now responsible for paying for all of Marchi's court fees, as well as to cover the costs for the remaining claims that were already dismissed.

Highlight from this hearing so far: "Judge: if I like a cat picture on Facebook, I’m not in a conspiracy. You are reading too much into liking a post." A five minute recess was declared at Ty's request, just one hour into the hearing. All claims against Jamie Marchi have just been dismissed. Oof, this tea is hot.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BrUqpWzQ8BGZ4dDR52Hvrx76XJ9xfxHe Judge Chupp overruled Vic's objections and motions to strike evidence in support of the motion to dismiss after just two hours of consideration. The hearing the dismiss the whole case will be tomorrow. There's little chance this case will survive. EDIT: Oh hey, looks like Ty Beard committed notary fraud.

ENVY IZANAMI vs SUBJECTS OF PHANTOM

https://www.scribd.com/document/421095023/Monica-Rial-and-Ron-Toye-Notice-of-Hearing-on-TCPA A hearing to dismiss Vic's case will be on September 6. I believe Vic was unable to prove in court that the allegations against him actually constituted defamation, but he did admit that Jamie Marchi's allegations against him were true. I have a hard time believing that Marchi or Rial were ever in the wrong here, let alone "psychotic", when this case about defamation actually ended up proving them right.

Wasn't too bothered by whether or not we got a jerk rival again, but it is nice to see. Though I do love that we're fighting toxic fans in this game. Not sure how I feel about Obstagoon. I think it's that I'm so used to Zigzagoon/Linoone as the typical HM Slave that giving it an evolution that looks more inspired by Lucario or Zoroark seems... off. Like it's the evolution for a different line entirely. That said, I believe this is the first time we've had an evolution that seems specifically designed for a regional variant, so that's rather interesting.

“Peace is the last thing he deserved,” MirageGaogamon snarled. “MirageGaogamon, calm down,” Sora warned. The others were silent, with Arthur and Gagagigo unwilling to answer either Itsu or MirageGaogamon, while Eria and Kairi watched expectantly. “Sora, I understand that you started this on her side, and Arthur and I have no place to judge if any of you see her side of this. Itsu may have a point about being better than Arturia, but that is a low, low bar. As for you, Itsu, I’m sure you heard what Arthur and I were just talking about. He and I had no right to be considered heroes to the Digital World, and yet we were honored regardless. Even now, we are still trying to live up to what our peoples expect of us. We share that much in common with you, but if you had thousands of years to change Protheus, and he cast aside all your help the moment he began to fear for his own life, then I cannot imagine that you would have ever made him the man you hoped he could become.” Rather than respond, the person in question only fixed a silent look upon MirageGaogamon. There wasn’t much she could say to change his mind, but he’d asked, and she’d answered. Nothing was left for her to say in that regard. “That’s enough,” said Arthur. “I get what you’re saying. Both of you. Itsu, you tried to help Protheus the same way MirageGaogamon and Eria have helped Gagagigo and myself. Protheus sure as hell wasn’t worth it, and he isn’t someone we can just ‘agree to disagree’ on, but I don’t see any point in treating you the same as him. He’s dead, and Isamy is next. After that, if we can somehow get the Key back from Isamy, then the Door is ours.” “If you reach the Door,” Eria asked Itsu, “What do you intend to wish for?” To that, Itsu shook her head. “The Door of Origin isn’t for me－not anymore. The moment I fell in the war, in the Pathways, I forsook my opportunity to attain it. Right now, I’m just a shell of my former self.” Then proceeded to shrug. “No worries though. When you guys emerge victorious… if you do anyway… I have no doubt the victors will restore the fallen universes back to the way they were. I myself lost friends and family to Isamy’s antics, you know. As long as everyone comes back and the multiverse carries on, I’ll be satisfied.” And, after thinking for a bit, a radiant smile grew on her face. “You know what? Looking back, I think I’ve come pretty far. Dan did tell me I was basically a Mary Sue, didn’t he? Hated it at first, but well, it’s not so bad to have a fulfilling life. Friends and family. Successful projects and countless happy memories. The people I met? The worlds I saved? I don’t even know what to say about the religion built around me. Everything I never had, I fought for and I gained. Not bad for someone who started out as a motorcycle struck by lightning... if I do say so myself!” She chuckled to herself. In other words, Itsu Fudo was essentially admitting she was an old woman. Someone who’d lived a fulfilling life all the way to the present. “So yeah. All my wishes have already been granted, Eria.” That this was enough for her. “Except maybe...” But she stopped herself. “Well, there is one thing. But it’s not something I need the Door for. I’ll keep this one to myself.” Arthur and Eria shared a glance. She spoke so casually, but they could barely begin to understand everything that she must have experienced. “I’ll trust you on that,” Eria told her. She was a little certained about whatever Itsu may have had in mind, but she wasn’t afraid. MirageGaogamon’s unsubtle huffs were enough to show his own feelings, but he didn’t push it any further than that. Being worshipped as a goddess and having a whole religion seemed like far too much, but Eria admired Itsu. This Origin War was, at least for Itsu, a chance to finally lay old grudges to rest. In the Pathway to Remembrance, Arthur had compared himself to Protheus. Considering that, it wasn’t hard to understand why Itsu could care about Protheus, even if she was the only one in this whole war that would dare to do so. “You won’t end up like Protheus,” Eria told Arthur. At first, Arthur blinked, not sure what to say. “Thanks?” he answered. “Sorry, that was a little random.” He rubbed his eyes; they looked a little red. He was trying hard not to show it, but Eria knew that he had been crying when he thought no one was looking. He could only put up with so much more. “Well, at least you’re not beating yourself up right now,” Eria giggled. That’s probably a good sign that you’re feeling better.” Arthur smiled, so she knew she must have been doing something to help. “Let’s not worry about what might go wrong in the future,” Sora reassured them. “We just need to make sure we can still survive, and see all the good stuff still waiting for us.” Arthur rolled his eyes. “Okay, you guys can stop with the corny pep talk. Itsu, I appreciate everything you’ve done, even if I don’t know what you’ve been through. I don’t even want to know what you meant about being a motorcycle. We all have a wish to make on the Door. I just have one last question. If we kill Isamy, what happens to the Omni Principle? From what Chardonnay told us, killing Protheus means that Isamy is the only Omni left now. So does that mean if she dies, there won’t be another Omni? Because I don’t think this war can truly be over if there’s even a chance that power can just go somewhere else. It doesn’t matter if it’s Protheus or Isamy. Whatever happens, the Omni Principle is what we need to destroy. Right?”

Eria was silent for a moment. There would be no point in surviving all these trials if the future that they had laid out was unattainable. However likely it was that Eria could truly see the future that Itsu’s power was showing, Itsu at least seemed confident that the odds were in their favor. “Yes,” Eria nodded. “I can accept that.” “Itsu.” MirageGaogamon spoke up, though his tone was bitter. “You said we could ask you anything about Protheus, and I have a few questions myself.” “Sure thing. You’re the one who entered the realm within my Pure Edge blade, aren’t you?” At that, Itsu briefly closed her eyes. Although she wasn’t sure what the Digimon was going to say, she had a few good guesses. “I saw that much during your fight. Although, I don’t know what you encountered inside my digital domain… Still. As promised earlier, I’ll be transparent about anything you wish to know.” MirageGaogamon began to pace around Itsu. Within Pure Edge, he only had a glimpse of Itsu’s history with Protheus. It was impossible for him to even begin understand the nature of their relationship, but it was all he had to go on. “You’ve known Protheus longer than anyone here. I understand that you…” MirageGaogamon shook his head. He could hardly bear to look meet Itsu’s eyes. “Against Protheus, we used everything we could to teach Protheus regret. In the end, I believe the only thing he could feel was fear. He was afraid of death. And I cannot blame even the likes of him for that. However, his last words were nothing more than pitiful screaming. Begging for a chance to escape. He had no guilt for his actions. All those years ago, when you and Protheus found a chance to work together, what did you see in him? Why would you let that… that demon survive all these years? For all I know, none of this would have happened had you stopped him long ago. If you could, knowing everything that’s happened, do you think you made the right decision?”

~ a reprise before the end ~ Itsu Fudo, Epiloguous It was almost time. Not long now until everyone would be ready… at which point the final battle would commence. Itsu stood calmly, with warm light radiating from her figure where she stood, as if to separate herself from this reality. Having distanced herself somewhat from the others, she observed, focused on maintaining her connection to Origin, and made herself available if anyone sought any information from her. By now, the warriors had fought hard enough that they deserved to have any lingering questions answered at last. It was the least she could do. While twirling her umbrella about, the golden eyes of the former sun goddess locked onto someone’s approach. “Oh?” Itsu spoke, her expression devoid of surprise. “Heh, of course it's you guys. So how was embracing your Power... be it the Past or the Future, were they what you expected?” Then, with a smile, she relaxed her stance to welcome them. “And also, Warriors of the Counter Corps, to what do I owe this pleasure?” “Glad to see you’ve made it,” Sora smiled. Eria approached Itsu as well. They had been part of the Counter Corps since the very beginning of the war, and as such they greeted her as if she were an old friend. Eria had brought the Staff of Armadyl with her. From Sliske to Xansvita to Itsu to Sora and now Eria, it had traded hands many times. Countless others in the war had boasted of being gods so often that the word itself started to lose its meaning, and the staff had certainly enabled that. But out of anyone here who could truly be considered a “god”, Itsu was one of a handful who could actually live up to the title. The power that Itsu had taken from Xansvita seemed to pale in comparison to the aura that radiated from the woman - if she could be addressed so simply - who now stood before them. It was silly to even worry that she may not have survived. “It’s actually more than I would have expected,” Eria answered. Her eyes were transfixed on her hand, still clean of Megiddo's brand. “The future you’re showing us… it is real, right?”

“Ariel” was a name chosen to avoid a life better off forgotten. As long as she could defeat the darkness once and for all, the world didn’t need to remember Eria, the Water Charmer. The Gishki taught her powers that not even Lady Doriado could. At least, none that she would have dared to. That was what Ariel liked to think, for a time. Her body was cold. She couldn’t feel her legs, but she knew that there was something skittering along the ground, carrying her towards her prey. Not yet, she told herself. Now wasn’t the time. Not until Isamy was here. “So this is the future…” Ariel couldn’t quite explain why, but she was somehow disappointed. Even with Itsu’s Void Inclusion, would this be enough? “No, this isn’t it. There’s still something more. Something even further ahead. So why? Why can’t I reach it?” “This is plenty,” Eria answered. She was wearing dark blue armor, and her Keyblade had transformed. It still looked like a rapier, but the guard was covered in barnacles, and the edge of the blade was stained crimson on one side, while the prongs of a trident extended from the other. Fins decorated her gauntlets, though the left fin extended past her forearm. She looked at her hand. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and removed the glove. Slowly, she opened her eyes again. She saw nothing in her hand. No marks. No l’Cie brand. “A future free from Megiddo,” she smiled. “Maybe this is what the Void Inclusions are. The wishes we make on the Door will decide our future. And if these powers are what we’ll gain in the future, we can use them to make that future possible." Eria turned around, but a monster was staring her right in the face. It looked like an angler fish, but the face alone was as big as Eria herself, and that was before getting to the six legs that held the creature up, or the leathery wings that it proudly displayed. Eria stepped back instinctually, but the monster bowed its head. Ariel’s upper body was attached to the forehead of the beast, though Eria wasn’t quite sure that was where the monster ended and Ariel began. “Well, that’s probably a good sign for you,” said Ariel. “Sticking to the optimist routine? Better than moping around, I guess.” “You sure you’re still supposed to be me?” Eria teased. “You sound more like Hiita.” Ariel smirked. “Maybe I’ve just learned why she hated our guts so much.” For a moment, Eria almost felt like laughing. But the other Hiita had just died during the batte in Remembrance. She shouldn’t be joking at Hiita’s expense like that. After a few stutters, she added, “We’ll bring back them all back, okay? I don’t think we can say our future is secured until we’re all together again.” Ariel nodded. “Somehow, I think you might be right about that.” The two Eria’s shook hands, and the world around them began to change. The rain was gone, and they were back at Epiloguous once more. Gagagigo awoke in Epiloguous with a stir. “…gigo?” His head was aching as he lifted himself up from the ground. He stumbled for a moment as his eyes adjusted to his surrounding. Eria was standing before him. Two of them, though vastly different. One was merged with some kind of monster, while the other looked more like a knight than an apprentice mage. “You look like a real hero now,” Eria smiled. She held her hand beside her, and a mirror of ice appeared. Gagagigo was startled; he almost didn’t recognize himself at first. His body was clad in silver armor, and red-orange tatoos marked his body. He put a hand to his heart, and sure enough, when he looked into the mirror, he could see himself mimicking the motion. “This… this is me?” He looked down to her, trying to understand what had happened himself. “I had heard your voice. You had called upon the power of the Ocean Dragon Lord.” Eria tilted her head. The name sounded familiar, but she didn’t know too much about it. “Daedalus, wasn’t it? Something to ask Doriado about once we’re home.” If Doriado was could be alive again by then, she had to remind herself. “Yes. Whatever spell you acquired to accomplish this must certainly be powerful.” As he continued to admire his new armor, he noticed Ariel staring. He wasn’t quite sure if it was a good stare or a bad stare. “I… I know I am not your Gagagigo-” “I know, you’re sorry,” Ariel interrupted. “It’s not your responsibility to apologize to me. You and Eria already patched things up. I’m… not quite sure I get to hold a grudge after siding with Protheus. I’d rather just wait and see if my Gagagigo has even half as much sense as you. But I don’t mind working with you. For now.” “So… partners?” asked Gagagigo. “…I suppose I can agree to that,” said Ariel. Her beast half crawled over to Gagagigo, and Ariel extended her hand. “Don’t worry, he’s not going to bite. Much. And only Isamy, I assure you.” “That’s…” Gagagigo watched anger gnash its teeth expectantly. “I’m not sure if that’s actually reassuring.” Once Gagagigo and Ariel reluctantly shook each other’s hands, Ariel looked around Epiloguous. “Now then, where is the boyfriend?” “I’m right here,” Arthur answered. He and MirageGaogamon approached Gagagigo and the Eria’s, though he was looking around for someone else. “That just leaves…” "Don’t worry, I’m here,” said Sora. Kairi walked beside him, her hand in his. Kairi took a deep breath, but Sora nudged her. “We’ll be okay, Kairi." “Right,” she said nervously. Kairi looked the same as she had before Itsu appeared. A single glance was enough to tell that Eria, Gagagigo, and Sora had all changed, but Arthur didn’t have the same feeling about Kairi. Had the Void Inclusion changed anything? Compared to the magnificent Keyblade that Sora now held, Arthur was concerned that Kairi didn’t receive anything similar. “Arthur and I wouldn’t have these powers without either of you,” said Eria. “Let’s all show Isamy what we can do." Eria’s smile was so infectious, Kairi couldn’t help but smile back. She felt more at ease listening to Eria. “I’m sure I could show you a thing or two myself.” “Eria, you’ve got a moment?” asked Arthur. He nodded, gesturing to Eria to follow him away from the rest of the group. “Sure,” Eria complied. Her heart was beating faster. There was something else to the power she now had. Even thought Itsu said she wouldn’t have the memories of her future self, Eria could feel something that she was sure she would one day have. More than just a longing to be with Arthur, or the attraction she had, there was something more relaxed. She knew it could be distilled down to a single word, but it was just on the tip of her tongue. “Everyone looks ready,” said Arthur. “Except me and MirageGaogamon, I mean. I’m still not sure if I want the power of the future or the past." Eria shrugged. “There’s no easy way to break this to you, but from everything you’ve told me, I think the past is the last thing you want for this.” “I know,” said Arthur. “I guess I just… we’ve all had our fair share of illusions lately. Of how things could end for us, good or bad. I want something I can believe in. The past… as terrifying as it was, it has a bit more certainty." “Are you sure it isn’t that you don’t trust what might happen if you pick the future?” “There is that. It’s more like…” He glanced over at Ariel. “I don’t want to look at some other version of myself and not like what I see. If it’s just some stupid dream, and I’m not good enough to make it come true, then I’d just be setting myself up for disappointment.” “Then don’t leave it up to chance. Don’t gamble on what your future might be, and walk away thinking you won’t deserve it. Look at me. Look at me, and tell me the future that you want. Not the future that someone else says you could have. The future that you, Arthur, want for yourself.” She pulled Arthur towards her, looking directly into his eyes, and daring him to react. Her heart beat heavier and heavier. She wanted Arthur’s answer. “You told Isamy that you want everyone to forgive you. And you’re here, helping me bring my friends back. I’ve already forgiven you, Arthur. At the end of Remembrance, you said you want to start running towards your life.” Eria showed Arthur her hand. “Megiddo’s brand is gone. I know that as soon as we kill Isamy, that brand will come back, but until then, this is all the proof I need to know that I’ll beat him. I’m not sure what I’d do after that, but knowing I can get that far? To even be able to ask myself, what tomorrow might have in store? That’s enough for me. So for you, maybe you need to ask yourself what you would do when you’ve made things right for everyone you can.” “You just said you don’t know what you would do next,” Arthur sighed. “If you have no clue, then I doubt I’d have a better chance.” Eria pursed her lips. “Point. I suppose I have no business asking you a question that I can’t answer myself.” “I know I want a way for us to stay together,” Arthur answered. “Without giving Megiddo what he wants. It’s… it’s how we get there that I can never figure out.” He tried to find something more to tell her, but there was nothing. She was still waiting for him to give her a proper answer. “That’s what the problem is,” Arthur sighed. Eria smiled. “Go on.” “We’ve only just discovered that we could become Aetos, but once Itsu showed up, I started think about whether I could become something even better than Aetos.” “We managed to kill Protheus," Eria reminded him. "And we thought that was supposed to be impossible. What could possibly be better than that?” “Exactly. When the Demon Lords fused with MirageGaogamon and I, it exploded pretty much immediately. And when you had merged with that Leviathan, and I tried to save you… Actually, I never told you about him. In the Digital World, I wasn’t the only human who fought the Demon Lords. Most of the others ran away before we even got to the Demon Lords, but there was one other human. Ytidens. He actually managed to convince some of the Demon Lords to work on his side, and turned the Demon Lords against each other. I talked with MirageGaogamon about this earlier, but at first I thought that we had just survived the war instead of win it.” “And you’re wondering what you could do if you had the chance to use that power.” Arthur froze. MirageGaogamon was standing behind him. He sounded curious, but Arthur he was more disappointed than anything. “Merging with the Demon Lords is what set you on this path to begin with. It’s hardly a path worth revisiting. I know that, as I am now, perhaps I’m still not as strong as we were back then. But the difference between us now, and who we were then? Back then, you and I were simply chosen to survive because the Demon Lords needed us. We were their anchors to keep on living. We got lucky. But this time, we won. We actually deserve to be heroes now. All of us are already on the right path. Whether it’s Megiddo or the Demon Lords, you both have a future where you no longer need to be haunted. That should be the destiny you both must chase.” Arthur nodded. “Right. Instead of trying to trying to one-up Aetos, we need to try it again, and push that to the limit. With all these powers we’re getting now…” “We use them with Aetos,” Eris said, “And then, goodbye Isamy.” “Yeah,” Arthur sighed. It seemed so simple. He shook his head, cursing his brain. No matter how many times the easiest answer was standing at him right in the face, he had to keep finding to worry about. MirageGaogamon. I think you’re closer to being as strong as every Demon Lord combined than you think.” Arthur raised his Keyblade, as the Digivice within it began to stir. “Itsu! I choose the future!” At first, Arthur couldn’t see anything. MirageGaogamon hadn’t changed, either. And yet, there was a sound. A quiet hum, one that Arthur couldn’t decide if he was imagining or not. His hand was trembling. Looking to his side, his Keyblade now had an orange glow. Small sparks of light dance along the glow, but he could still hear the humming. The dance almost seemed to be in rhythm with the hum. Perhaps it wasn’t random humming. It was a song, flowing through the Keyblade. The time it took to make it through all of Famous Last Words, just to gather all the power he needed to destroy Protheus, now endlessly coursed through the Keyblade. “Are you ready?” MirageGaogamon asked. “I am now.” Arthur look at his Keyblade. “Thanks, Dad. I’ll see you soon.”

Well, Summon Sorceress is banned, so I'm going to have to adjust this deck to account for that now.

Dueled against Blue-Eyes, Galaxy Photon, and Ancient Gear decks. Beat the Galaxy Photon deck easily, but last to the other two. Going to have to take some more time to think about it, but it did confirm for me that Forbidden Dress is an easy brick, so going to be taking that out. Didn't realize I had 41 cards instead of 40, so it's not like it'll hurt me if I just get rid of it outright.

Going to have to find my copy of E-Call, but I've replaced Mist with Stratos for the moment. While there is still the issue of getting Vyon on-board, this is still faster enough for me to manage. Going to head to locals in a little bit, so I'll let you know how that turns out.
