The dueling community is rather uncertain about Solemn Judgment being placed on the Limited list. I see a number of posts and threads on the major Yu-Gi-Oh! forums discussing Solemn Judgment. Many of the threads are filled with average players who consider themselves elite.
The next time you post on a forum, remember there is a wonderful secret to Yu-Gi-Oh! You can accurately gauge someone’s skill level based on their appraisal of certain cards. Examples include cards like Heavy Storm and Mind Control . Those who want Heavy Storm banned or adjusted are ignorant of the benefits one Storm brings to the game. They have not reached a level of understanding high enough to appreciate the difference Storm creates. Players who do not appreciate (or vehemently call for) Mind Control’s limit have not developed an understanding of tempo. They remain ignorant of the fact that Mind Control creates about 3000 or more damage in favor of the player using it while creating card advantage and ruining the flip effect mechanic.

As many of you know, I have put together numerous team battles that feature the greatest players in North America dueling each other for fame and fortune. While watching these top players, I have developed a keen eye for different talents. At the start of each interview, I will profile the player sitting down and describe the player’s style (so you can use these elements in your own game). On with the interview!
Dale Bellido is our subject for the day. As a core member of Team Overdose, Dale is one of the best players on the best team in all of Yu-Gi-Oh! monsters. His list of credentials is enormous. Double-digit Shonen Jump Championship day two’s (it’s difficult to verify the exact number due to Metagame’s collapse). A runner up finish at the Canadian Nationals, in addition to another top eight finish at the second-biggest North American tournament of the year. Dale also won SJC Chicago, thoroughly dominating future teammate Paul Levitin (another superstar) on his way to victory.
