Looking back over 2011
2011 has been another great year for the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, and with the year about to end here's a brief look back at what's happened in the past 12 months.
Card of the Year (#1): Tour Guide From the Underworld
So here it is, the best card that was released all year (in my opinion). I hope you enjoyed this little series of articles and feel free to make your voice heard in the comments!
Card of the Year (#2): Reborn Tengu
There's only 2 cards left in my list of this year's Top 10, and here's the first. The "Card of the Year" (in my opinion) will be revealed later on today.
Card of the Year (#3): Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
Now we're into the top 3. While everybody I've seen on the forums has accurately predicted the top 2 (though the order changes from person to person), the 3rd place card differs depending on who you ask. For me though it's this year's most powerful Synchro monster, which quickly became an Extra Deck "staple" no matter what Deck you ran.
Card of the Year (#4): Master Hyperion
As I was (shall we say..) "decomissioned" by the flu yesterday there'll be 2 blog posts today, and here's the first, #4 of my Top 10 cards of the year.
Card of the Year (#5): Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En
We're into the final 5 now, some of the strongest and most influential cards we've seen released this year, and we start with one of the strongest Synchro Monsters ever created!
Card of the Year (#7): Shien's Smoke Signal
Here's number 7 on my list of the top 10 cards released this year.
Card of the Year (#8): Karakuri Komachi mdl 224 "Ninishi"
We're up to number 8 on my list of this year's Top 10 cards, take a look.
Card of the Year (#9): Gachi Gachi Gantetsu
Yesterday I started the countdown of the 10 best cards released in 2011 with Maxx "C". Now we're up to number 9!
Card of the Year (#10): Maxx "C"
A few weeks ago I made it known that I'd be doing a bunch of mini articles towards the end of 2011, highlighting what I thought were the best cards released over the past 12 months. After seeing things in action at YCS Brighton and getting feedback from the Yu-Gi-Oh! community it's time to start the countdown!
All the action from the YCS Brighton
Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series Brighton took place over the weekend to round off the Dueling year and it was a huge success. As ever there was live coverage of the event and you can find links to all the articles the team wrote over the weekend below.
