    Yep and I was the one who taught you how to play. I'm sure you've greatly surpassed me by now lol.

    Clearly you should have a duel to figure it out.

    No need to worry, their build is nothing like mine, and given that they were staring at a spirit reaper with honest, chawa, and two Ragin on the field, and the rest of their extra intact, they probably weren't playing it that well.

    Please tell me he summoned Brio and at least knocked down the other guy's LP to 2000 or lower..

    Edit: in that same turn, before his battle phase.

    He should've done it last turn. The top card on his grave is MST, so if he used it during his opponent's turn or the start of his current turn, that means he had to have had Chawa and two Ragin on the field last turn, and potentially the honest. If the honest was left over, he should have used its bouncing effect just in case, and if not there was no reason to summon it, unless he's going for a third Ragin instead of Brio, and willing to synch with Honest to do it.
    The only reason I can think of for his move is if he has catsith and a way to discard it in hand, and isn't worried about the other set monster being another spirit reaper.

    If I can find some people in real life to play with and if I can ever afford the decks and cards that I want and if the people on DN will get their heads out of their asses I may start playing this game again someday. But I dunno. It's very doubtful.

    EDIT: Oh and if Konami will finally balance the freaking game with a FAIR banlist.

    What constitutes a "Fair" banlist? I personally think that it's fair if there isn't one deck that overshadows all other decks. In this case we have three decks at the top, not just one, so I think it's fair.

    What I mean is there are still a bunch of cards that are very powerful but yet untouched by Bans, Limits or even Semi-Limits. And another thing, Every freaking time Konami changes the list they always move certain gamebreakers up on the list but also move other ones down each time...It's ******ed...I can see why people are quitting this game. It just isn't what it used to be...I mean it's pretty easy for bad players to beat good players now with Torrential Tribute now at 2 and Dark Hole still being at 1. This is ridiculous...What's next? Are they gonna move Mirror Force down on the list next? They might as well. I bet they probably will eventually if not next banlist. I wouldn't put anything past them anymore...

    And in my opinion they should try to even out the game and give every kind of deck a chance to be good and competitive. But that's obviously never going to happen.

    So tell me, what would you do to make skull servants on par with your heroes? Then when you consider even more powerful decks, how do you make Skull Servants on par with Wind-up? Yes, you can ban hunter altogether, but wind-ups are still a strong deck. You have to start banning Carrier and Shark and Factory and Rat.. To make skull servants on par with your heroes they have to hit you in the consistency by banning cards like Fusion Gate, Miracle Fusion, Super Poly, Stratos, King of the Swamp, The Warrior Returning Alive, E - Emergency call, even things like Fusion Recovery. To make Skull Servants on par with my Fables they'd have to ban Ragin, Unicore, Snipe Hunter, Tourguide, BLS, Gorz, Phoenix Wing Wind Blast, Honest.. To make them on par with Lightsworn they'd have to ban JD, Ryko, Lumina, Lyla, Garoth.. To make Skull Servants viable at all, they'd need to ban D.D. Crow and probably Effect Veiler.

    You say that they move some things down and some up constantly, which means bad players can easily beat good players.. I think it's a sign of a good player that they either avoid being hit hard by things like TT and Mirror Force, or can recover afterwards. If one card can stop your deck, then you should be figuring out how to counter that card, MST is unlimited, Heavy isn't banned, Night beam is unlimited, Malevolent Catastrophe is unlimited, you can destroy spells and traps before they can touch you, even without cards like Stratos and R - Righteous Justice. And if you choose not to go for a build the focuses S/T destruction, you can go for a decree build, and make every trap they have irrelevant until the find a card to do a one for one trade to get rid of it. You can even chain it to things like TT for a plus one. And while cards like TT are game-changing if you're not careful, it's not impossible to recover from them. I've been hit with TT while my opponent had one or two monsters, and I had five monsters on the field and no hand and a spell or two face-down because I was going for Ragin, and then come back to win later.

    I think they should at least release more support for them to help give them more of a fighting chance.

    EDIT: Almost forgot, Welcome back Miss Lyris! =)

    DOUBLE EDIT: Oh and:

    Video or it didn't happen.

    Mirror Force isn't all that deadly if you play smart and/or are using grapha.. Normal summon beige, bounce, dark world dealings beige, bounce, gates to drop beige, bounce, you now have 3 3k beaters, all at the cost of your normal summon and banishing one fiend from the grave. He might very well have the vids too.
    @ supporting Skull Servants; Once you give them enough powerful support that it can rival the wind-up loop, dino-rabbits and inzektors and such, then you go through and give every single archetype that kind of support, you've made hundreds of cards that make mirror force look weak, and you probably end up making a lot of decks auto-pilot.. And then adding in all of that support, some of it is going to be stronger than others, so you would get a formerly weak deck suddenly being much more powerful than the current meta, and thus everything needing to get more support to match it, and then the game would stop being fun for the same reason you don't like the current lists, everything would just be so powerful, and any lucky draw could be game-changing.

    For some reason I thought he meant dark-imprisoning.
