An interesting episode. It actually added to the "plot," if you want to call it that.
The remainder of the duel between Yusei and Kiryu took less than 10 minutes, which means that it could have easily been put into the last episode. However, it appears as though the duel had to end in a new episode to effectively further the story.
It should be obvious who won the duel, but both Yusei and Kiryu, along with Ramon (leader of the family that Kiryu sided with), were taken to the mines where they would become slaves.
However, Yusei, with his gangster skills, used a bent nail to open the shock collar that was put on him. His escape with Kiryu from the mines was foreshadowed that the end of the episode, but we'll have to see what happens...

Zombies
Recently, I've been messing with Zombies to try and find a build that I like.
First, it was Monarchs. The build was okay, and was pretty safe because I could drop Tragoedia to stop OTKs. However, it was a bit too inconsistent, as Monarch decks can be.
Next, it was Zombie Chaos. Didn't like it. I discussed this in an earlier post.
After that, I was trying to think up of a variant on the Zombie Synchro decks in the OCG. They aren't really suited to the TCG, though, so I gave up on that.
Now, I'm trying out a new "Zombie Synchro" deck, if you want to call it that. It's based on Synchro Monsters, but not the normal way of summoning them with Mezuki abuse, though it could work like that. I've also thrown Rykos and Chaos Sorcerers in there to see how it works. I think I'll drop the Chaos Sorcerers, but I'm not sure. Maybe I'll keep just one...
Anyways, if it works out, there will be a post going into more detail on the deck later.

Plaguespreader Zombie
It's actually one of the better-designed cards in the game. Well, it would be, if it weren't a Dark/Zombie.
It's a Level 2 Tuner, which everyone should know all too well. Its effect is actually quite good while not being broken. You can stall your own draw for a turn to Special Summon it from the Graveyard, which is a fair effect. It's a 1 for 1 and you can normally only use it once.
What makes Plaguespreader Zombie worth Limiting is the fact that it is a Dark/Zombie.
Being a Dark, it's easy to get into the Graveyard with Armageddon Knight and/or Dark Grepher. It also has the support of a bazillion other cards.
Being a Zombie, you can Special Summon it from the Graveyard practically as often as you want.
If it were some other Attribute/Type combination, it would be much more fair. Maybe not Fire/Pyro (Blaze Accelerator), but something like Wind/Dragon, Water/Aqua, or Earth/Beast-Warrior. Just not Dark or Zombie. Light or Fairy wouldn't be very good, either.
