HoloLive G/B budget

 Not gunna lie, don't really care about Japanese Hololive myself but I new the set was coming out this month. I headed over to my favorite place to buy JP Weiss NovaTCG. I was pleasantly surprised with the price of most of the cards. I decided if I could find 2 low priced Lvl.3s  I would try and put a deck together. We'll anyways here it is.

Not much to say about this deck. It does play this Lvl 1 Picora CX combo. At end of attack of this card if slot in front is empty or has a reverse character, look at top 4 choose 1 :Hololive: add to hand and ditch the rest. Choose 1 character to give +1000 cross turn. Not bad for getting hand and bosting characters. I like how it works with reverse character and open space to negate bounce back cards. Also the CX being a gate really helps to insure you get a copy in hand.

And thats basically it for cards that are important. it was a $30 combo and I didnt want to spend too much on this. There are however a few other cards I really like. First is Coco with her if 2 experience tap to git 1 character +2000, but I really like the first effect trigger a CX discard a CX look top 2 from LB put one in hand ditch the rest. With my climaxes being Bar and Gate it insures I have a CX in hand for the skill. Next is the Okayu Nekomata brainstorm, its the same top 3 pick one from the Bofuri deck I use. This is real helpful for getting more cards for the CX combo. Then there is the Luna Himemori CX swap, and thats all it needs to do swap CX.... just in case.

And thats it! The 2 Lvl.3s I chose are the Picora and Kanata. Picora is a heal that also stops backups during combat and gets +1500 if all characters are :Hololive:. The Kanata is a choose 1 of 3 :draw 1 choose character battle no backups or events. :discard to heal to stock. :+1000 power +1 soul all. Not bad but not great either no extra instances of damage but I hope to stall with heals. There is a early play event I could run but maybe another time, It does cost 3 stock. 

Anyways I hope you liked my Hololive G/B Budget Deck Enjoy pyons!

Chapter 9

 

We'll I finally got around to finishing chapter 9.  Unfortunately I was not able to find the middle chapters. I will however continue to look for them. Hopefully my next update wont be so long.

I did however just order a Hololive budget WS deck. I'll be testing that when it comes in. So that may take up much of my time. The site only ships on certain days so it may still be awhile before I receive it anyways.

And with that please use the Bookworm link above to find the latest chapter. as well as download the previous chapter below if you missed it.

Enjoy pyon

Etsy and beyond

 I'm sure you've noticed I haven't been doing any new controllers lately.  I mainly started my Etsy because I wasn't sure if I would be working that much after Christmas '19. Then covid hit and we got really busy really fast.  Anyway not that things have slowed at work a lot of the regulars also quit to do other things.  While it was sad to loose some good workers it did shift me into a more important roll. Not saying I got promoted or anything just with less workers it will be harder for them to lay me off for a month or two when it gets to slow. Great for me, but leaves no time for Etsy stuff.  So I'll probably still work on controllers for fun at work I most likely wont be adding anything new to the Etsy. 

 

Anyway a few moths ago I commissioned a figure on fiver.  I sent a character design to one artist who made the 3d file, and found another artist to 3d print it. I meant to post this earlier but completely forgot. I've also been doing a lot of water color paintings lately so I went with that style of coloring.  While the person I had print it didn't actually print it in as many pieces as I had the artist cut it, It still turned out well. I had put it in my figure case so it looks good with the other stuff I got.

Well that's about it for now. I bought Dreams for the PS4 earlier this year and have been wracking my brain on what kind of game to make. I just recently had an Idea but I'll hold off on saying anything more about it till I get some real work done on it. As always Enjoy pyon!

Chapter 4

 we'll I'm glad to post another chapter. I really should be uploading other stuff too. Like deck builds and new playmats... anyway having a lot of fun with this now.  I hope you guys are enjoying reading it as much as I enjoy "translation" and type setting. Really I just interpret the google translated text so its easier to understand. Or rather how I understand the gibberish it gives me.  

As the site I get raws from does not have the next few chapters, I too will be skipping them. I however have not stopped my search for them and will be doing my best to find them and upload them later. Check out the new chapter by using the Bookworm tab above. I've also uploaded chapter 3 .rar file for download.

as always Enjoy Pyon!

I will include a .rar of chapter 2 for anyone who missed it on my page.

Ascendance of a bookworm

 

Well I got real tiered waiting for someone else to translate the second chapter of the third act of "Ascendance of a bookworm" .  I'm a big fan of the tv anime and have been enjoying the manga ever since. I even bought the first 6 volumes of Act 1 as soon as they released. However both the anime and Japanese manga are far ahead of the English translations. So I decided to take maters into my own hands for now.  

Please don't expect a regular release from me as I am just doing this in my free time. I am however anxious to see what happens to Myne next. I will continue to release these here on my blog but feel free to post them wherever you think they will get the most views. I would like more fans of Myne to enjoy the series as much as I have.

I however was unable to translate any of the hand written text on the pages. I was able to get the gist of what was going on without it and hope it wont take too much away from the reading experience. If there is anyone who can read the Japanese and is interested in helping with those parts feel free to contact me via my email. Please dont take this as an add for recruitment. I dont have any money to pay anyone and I am just doing it for fun anyways. Just saying if there is anyone who wants to help I wont turn them away. 

I will also leave a gimp .xcf file of the cleaned raws if anyone is interested in doing a better job of translating. All I ask is you sight me or my fake studio "Clean Loli Translations". Anyways I have made a new page on my blog for the pages. I will only have the current uploaded chapter avaliable on the page. Witch I will replace with a new chapter when I finish it.

Enjoy!

Memory Snow Rem

 

Today we can go over my Rem:Memory Snow deck. I also have a Rem deck from the first 2 sets but I may go over them another time.

Now as for zeros there is not much to talk about. This is Anti standby and anti burn deck so those are the main functions of what im trying to do. This can be accomplished with just these 2 cards here. The brainstorm is a tap 2 search so it does take a good hand to get going, however the main function is its first ability, If a player returns a character from WR to field during climax or attack step. That player subtracts 2000 x cost or returned character from there front row. This helps keep opponent from playing high power characters early and will stop most lvl2s and 3s later. Also in junction with the 2000 backup To help kill anything they play to the field. I usually only play one with the 500 lvl assist lvl 1, however if my front row is powerful enough to stop most of their lvl1s an 2s without the assist I can play 2 copies wich stops their late game plays flat. The other lvl 0 is the anti burn. as long as all my characters are memory snow now player can take auto damage of 1 or less. There are a few lvl 3s that can still get around this however it does come in handy from time to time.

Now for my lvl1 climax combo. This is a nice combo to get cards in hand. Its a on attack check top 3 choose memory snow or event(shown) add to hand, ditch the rest. This is really good as it helps to mill your deck so your at a better state when its your opponents turn. Also the event checks the top 6 for iether the lvl1 card or the climax that is associated with it. This really makes the deck more consistent as you get a really good chance to get any of the cards you need for no cost. So i usually try and dig the 2000 backup or another event card during early play, then start getting the early play Emeilia heals and Rem lvl3s when im ready. You can also use the event to dig for a climax if you have the drop search and you need a card from WR.

Last is the lvl3 climax combo on play its a check top 3 add 1 to hand ditch the rest. The main ability however is quite nice. On attack pay cost then check up to bottom 5 of opponents deck if there is a climax put 1 in clock. While it will only do one damage resaurdless of the number of climaxes milled It does get around the Rem anti burn. You do however have to have 2 of them in mem for the effect to work.

Anyway thats all for the Rem deck. Most of the other cards are just misc. utility and not worth mentioning. I am however playing the Emilia heal because the deck really needs a heal and it was the best early play in the set that didnt need me to play other colors.

Re:Angel Beats

 

Been playing with my Angel Beats deck again. Their was some new cards one of the complilation sets so I decided to try them out.

I'll start with my zeros, the main focus is to get as many cards into the memory as possible so I start with many zeros that go to mem on reverse. 2 I use to search for other cards I may need later. The only lvl0 that doesn't o memory is the brainstorm.

Next are the main cards of my deck, lvl1 event that can send any card from my opponents WR to memory. This is good to get as many climaxes I can out of my opponents deck. The card itself also goes to memory after to compress even more. The other card gives all my characters [encore] discard a character from hand. making it easy to keep any card I need on the field without having to worry about counters. It also has a second ability, tap this give another character +1000 power. Which comes in handy from time to time since I don't run assist.

The last card that can be sent to memory is my lvl 1 change combo. If this card is taped at start of encore I can (1) discard character from hand, send this card to memory and bring out the lvl 2 in its placed as taped. The lvl 2 also has a nice effect if card across from this become reverse, salvage a character then discard a card. Comes in handy when I need to hand fix or get rid of pesky climax in hand.

Lastly are my 2 climax combo cards, lvl 1 +500 for each other death character, with climax effect on play of climax look at top of deck if lvl 0 character put to stock, all other cards send to hand or waiting room. This is a great effect because it has the possibility go get stock or cards in hand, which is handy for discard encore effect. also being able to discard as well as putting a card in hand insure you dont get too many climaxes In hand. Then their is the lvl 3 combo, a great draw 2 discard 1 on play wich helps to get the climax in hand for the combo. Which is on attack burn one then get +1500 power till end of opponents turn. This helps with the low power and lack of assist to possibly survive another turn without using encore, and the burn one for extra attacks.

Well thats it for my new Angel Beats deck, the only other 2 cards I didnt mention are the brainstorm wich is a search death and give +1000 if you play a climax. The other is the lvl 3 early play healer witch has the on cancel mill top of deck then deal damage of card milled lvl plus 1.

 Wow I really haven't posted in a while. Oh well here is a new playmat I made. I've been making alot of cosplay playmats lately, this one is from @Loluuuuuu_cos on twitter. Just love her Rem cosplay with Subaru jacket.

I have a couple Rem Decks so this mat should see a lot of play. Now we just need the shops to open back up for Weis play.
