Super-wicked as always, sir!
Recruiters are very important to my deck, while not being the only way of grabbing the monsters I need.
I would like to say that in terms of whether to attack a face-down monster has been much trickier as of late, mostly because [Super-Nimble Mega Hamster] and [Gravekeeper's Spy] are able to grab great cards from the deck, whether they are destroyed in battle or not. The players in my area who have been doing best make heavy use of Monsters with Piercing, especially with [Blackwing - Bora the Spear], [Gragonis, Lightsworn Dragon] (and it’s easy-to-reach 4000+ ATK), and even the Trap [Meteorain] in Stardust/Red Dragon Flamvell.
I’m pulling for your Volcanic Rocket deck(s)! I’d say this is the best format for it.

Hi,

My name is Pablo, I really apreciated you are back. You have an amazing blog, I agree with your perspective of this game.

I’m playing a frog deck right now, but probably is not what you are thinking. I don’t use limit area B, or gravity bind, or the field spell card of frogs. That’s all crap. My deck doesn`t have dead draw (and I dont use exodia either). I hope I can show you some day.

good lucke, and keep writting.

sorry if my english is not perfect, I speak spanish.

Well this was a quick hit on recruiters not in an in depth thing. So he didnt cover the strengths and weaknesses of recruiters.

I’m curious where Lonefire Blossom falls into this category. I doesnt fit the usual mold of having to be destroyed by battle, and its range is a tad wider being able to target any plant.

Though its a replacement recruiter i guess since it replaces itself and can usually tip the scales in favor of something else.

Actually speaking of Lonefire, im curious because I’m trying to work my way through a new plant deck for the next format (after ABPF SE:Is released for the Dandylions) where would be a place to post it to where i could get GOOD feedback. I’ve tried Pojo, TCG players, etc, etc. But a majority of responses i’ve seem to get fall along the lines of “your playing plants…noob LS = win” and id rather have constructive criticism than someone who would get blown out of the water at a regional.

Great Article. Another form of recruiter exploit could be through RDA. His effect bypasses recruiters, if he attacks them while they are in defense position.

1) I, more than probably anyone who reads your blog, appreciates your old school perspective.
2) You are entirely right – don’t attack recruiters these days, most always.
