[CheapyD]

p.s. the Ikaruga winners will be announced this week, I promise!

[Admiral Ackbar]

I'm first!!!

(Will tell about my card battle skills later... just wanted to be first :P. Post still under construction.)

[Rich]

I'm so awesome in card battling that I could beat the Red Sox with my battling skills just like the Yankees...wait...that's nothing.

[SneakyPenguin]

I've beaten people with a pre-constucted deck of Magic Cards.

[bignick]

I know how to play 52 card pickup. I can play a mean game of asshole. Im decent at blackjack.

[janglypangly]

Im so good I remember beating a charizard with oddish once

[CaseyRyback]

I've got such skills I traded a rare Mo Vaughn card for a complete set of 1982 Donruss baseball cards. Now I have a Cal Ripken rookie and he has a Mo Vaughn card

[drone8888]

I once knocked a flea market dealer, over his table.

He tried taking some of my friends MOX's, and some other rare cards.
I acted like I wasn't with my buddy, and watched from behind his table. When he slid some cards, into his drawer, I rushed him from behind.

Good thing most of these duelers, are skinny, pencil dicked, nerds.

Besides that, I was ranked 3rd, on the Tetra boards, during the FFXI Beta.

[sj41]

I've never played Duel Monsters but I have played Yugioh (a while back) so I want it. Please? [-o&lt;

[karmapolice]

I also could beat people with pre-constructed magic cards back in the day...I also constructed a All gold deck in magic that actually worked well...I also had an ALL artifact deck that never lost once...I used to be real into card games and I would love to get back into em! Theres my shpiel

[cheapasskoji]

I've got so much card battling skills, someone actually paid me to see my skills by beating them.

[lurknomore]

I suck at card battling games, but I'm eager to hone them up with either this game or the impending Baiten Kaitos.....yeah!

[Sporadic]

I can ignite cards and use them to fight the forces of evil.....wait no that is Gambit......ah here we go I use cards to win um tournments while trying to find my kidnapped Dad....watch no that is that one guy from that crappy Yu-Gi-Oh game....finally here we go....I use my l33t card powers to totally OWN3D all of my friends!!!!1!1!!!!1

http://www.stormpages.com/edhrzic/ed2.jpg

No wait those are photos of two losers playing Yu-Gi-Oh that I found on a site when I was trying to figure out the story thingy on Yu-Gi-Oh.

In reality I am a person that sucks at all non-casino card games. I tried playing Magic once with a friend but I bombed. Hopefully with the help of CAG I will be able to practice my horrible skills in the comfort of my own home.

[Gothic Walrus]

My card battling skills are nonexistent. I can't play YuGiOh or Magic...the only CCG I've ever learned how to play was the Pokémon one, and that was just because I'd borrowed the GBC game from my friend.

Hell, I can't even play poker...Therefore, I should win the game so that I can win in at least one card game. :D

/knows it's a random drawing

[xspeedracerx]

Is go fish card battling? If it is, Im the man.

[gomer1andonly]

Only two words explain my card skills: GO FISH!!

[drsuper23]

The only card battling that I've done was in FF 8 or 9, I forgot which one. It's pretty cool but never really have gotten into a game based on it. Would be interesting though.

[rodeojones903]

I have 0 card battling skills. Maybe this will change that :D

[C_A]

Oh snap I have such mad battling skillz, I mean, every time I lay a card down everyone's all "YAHTZEE!"

[yellowaznboy]

Well, since I believe in the heart of the cards and want to be a Pokemon Master, I have competed with the likes of Yugi-moto and Ash Ketchum in riveting card battles during which I squashed them both like those grapes got by that grapelady (http://www.automotosports.com/boiwunder/atlantagrape.mpeg).

[ZForce915]

My card battling skills suck. I guess a game and strategy guide could change all that. *crosses fingers*

[magictoilet]

I am so 1337 at cards, i have all pokemon cards, around 10,000 magic cards, but havent't touched them in 5 years

[SpookyD]

I used to play some magic back in the day, still gotta drawer full of cards, I had some skills.

[swetooth9]

i was great at pokemon back in the day...ah i remember when ppl lined up at school just to trade pokemon cards w/ me...but i wasnt a collector...ooooooooooooooooo no..collectors are wussies (wont say the other word that rhymes w/ "wussies" or i might get banned, lol) i traded for strategies in my decks...i had like 5 different decks w/ different strategies for winning such as stall, etc.

i also have the pokemon trading card game for gameboy color...i think w/ all that said, that game package would be in good hands w/ me

:)

[Unassuming Local Guy]

I'm so awesome I bought a crap load of "Magic" cards in junior high and never bothered to learn how to play.

[Journey]

i can play a mean ass hand of war.........other than that, my skils are non-existant.

i'm just in it for the free stuff...heh

[Querjek]

They call me SlapJack Jim around here for all those hands I've squashed in Egyptian Ratscrew.

[ah_sq]

i play all cards small or big. best in PSO III. i also play magic, which i stop due to excessive bling bling wasted on them.

[WhipSmartBanky]

Besides being whip-smart Banky and Master Chief Banky, I'm also Duel Master Banky. My dueling is better than yours. Damn right, it's better than yours.

http://www.atari.net/sites/banky/BankyMaster_Duel.gif

[alongx]

I can throw cards like Gambit. I see someone acting like a jerk, BAM, explosive card to the face.

[The Successful Dropout]

my friend and i were battling over who would take these chics v cards, and i won....i battle for many v cards and im the master at....my real name is master v card handler...but you can call me trustcompany1013

[Pulsar]

I'm so good with card battling, that I can charge cards will my hands, and throw them at my opponents....

Well, it was either me, or Gambit

POOF....I'm entered

edit...alongx stole my post...I want a recount

[Storamin]

I use to be really good at Magic: The Gathering... until I got broke. :( I need this set to become the master at card games.

[MANIMAL]

Card Batllin' Skillz????????/ sheesh, Im the MANIMAL - i dont have Card Battlin' Skillz.........but maybe if I win this.............hmmmmmmmmm......yes..........

[Medium_Pimpin]

*Posts

Most people play magic the gathering with a proven deck method, i played with a deck called 'Black Death' a powerful concoction of all black bordered swamp and artifact cards from beta to foriegn cards. Built for multiplayer games and tweaked for duels this massive deck has lasted me years(i no longer keep up with expansions) without sustaining big losses.

[ayolykewhoa]

Usually I play strip poker with attractive Playboy playmates. It was me and the 5 ladies in a round table. Of course I won and the rest is history...... 8)

[guessed]

I am super-happy card battle skill. Extra much fine. All your base are belong to me. Winner chosen for random. Do or do not, there is no try.

[eshbums]

I'm so badass I'll call alone with the left bower, queen, and three suited. Yeah!

[starman9000]

Well, I beat an 8 year old once.

[bignastyogre]

My card battling skills are below average. A couple years ago, one of my friends and I were having a card battle, and I threw one with just the right amount of force and with enough of a flick of the wrist that it cut his forehead.

Of course, that was one of the very few times I was on target. While it's easy to throw a card with good force behind it, accuracy is a problem for me.

As far as card battling as in Magic: The Gathering, etc; I played Magic for a very brief period of time and never really did that great because it was too damned expensive to get enough cards with which to make a decent deck. I enjoyed it, though. I probably would have enjoyed it more if it was more affordable.

All ranting aside, I'd imagine I'd do better at a videogame since it wouldn't require running to a store and spending money to update a deck.

[Nuvdar]

um Skillz hehe i can cut people with my cards, so thats it.

[magilacudy]

My skills are so great that I don't even get carded. I was able to buy hundreds of bucks worth of booze without an ID back in the day. :?

[evilmax17]

Throwing my hat into the ring. I used to play Magic way back in the day, before they introduced other theme decks. My Goblin Snowman could take EVERYBODY!

*edit* and what do you know? My entry into this contest was my 800th post!

[TJordan522]

I am a pro at Go-Fish, so obviously I would be excellent at Duel Masters: Sempai Legends.

[Missingdata]

My battle card skillz is so l33t that i can Kick all ur @$$

that's y i shall win...

[tholly]

I dont have any card battling skills, but i thought id post and enter anyway.

[BigHow]

I used the rock the Magic so hard, I couldn't get anyone to play me.

I'll also tromp over anyone in Culdcept.

Bring it!

[jshorr]

I had won many a friends card back in the day knocking them over by hurling Sportflix cards at them......

[nogard]

What skill?

[FlipSide]

I played MAGIC: The gathering in high school(1995) because I inherited a Deck(more of like a collection) from a friend who got tired of it(filthy rich so he didnt bother selling it). So I mostly traded for cards instead of buying packs.

I won most of my battles, mostly because I had a lot of Rare and Uncommon cards. Still, if you dont use strategy, you will still lose a lot. So my card battling skillz is up there, maybe not elite but a formidable opponent nonetheless.

[cn]

skill? What skill?

[Ivanhoe]

Im the best card battling player ever !! MY skills will destroy you!!

[scuba]

I know how to play war, go fish, asshole, BS, black jack, ERS. I suck at 52 card pick up though. The friends I sit with at lunch play magic every day and I have been watching them EVERY day but have not learned a thing :( I usually dont win any of those card games but I am ok with that :)

[robdees]

I used to play card games, but then I grew a beard and realized I was too manly for that kinda thing. Videogames are still ok though....:)

[DisturbedZen]

Although i had just started Duel Masters with my younger cousin.. I had "angry" card skills, rarely lost at yu gi oh, pokemon, and magic the gathering..

All played for money purposes.. ;)

[Tom]

I play one mean game of BS, but other than that, i suck at most other card games.

[Monsta Mack]

My card battling skills are horrible. A two year old could beat me in Yu-Gi-Oh.

[flaprabbit]

I rock at Duel Masters! I beat my 4 year old all the time.

[paean]

I have no skillz in anything. I don't even know what card battling is and what this contest is all about, but I would like to thank my parents and CheapD if I win.

[Mustang O-Line 75]

I beat the GBC version of the Pokemon trading game, and I always made nidoran (male) decks.

[coolcato]

I finished second place in a magic:the gathering tournament. I also used to dominate MTG very early on with my mountain-lightning bolt deck before it was ruled illegal because of incredible cheesiness.

[chickendouche]

i can master any card game u trow at me

[thorbahn3]

Pick me because Shobu's friends cheer me on when I play.


http://www.duelmasters.tv/cartoon/e7/9.jpg

[hyperhist]

I've battled many a card in my old age, and I just want you to know, that if I don't get this... I just may have to card battle you CAG!

[omster]

My card battling skills are ok.

[digioverload]

I watch Yu-Gi-Oh every Saturday and Duel Masters whenever I see it. As for skills, I can learn new card games faster than anyone else I know. I can often beat the whiny fanboys of any card game on my second try. I'm very bad at ERS (Egyptian Rat Screw) though.

[vanye]

I Don't have much skill, I lack heart and killer instict. Though im ok at mediocre levels of competition.

[airali2001]

i've NEVER been beaten in pokemon card battleing, and have only one loss in yu-gi-oh card battling 8-) IM THE BEST!!!
thats why i deserve this game

[Jrunt20x]

I'm good at card battling games. I won a lot with pokemon cards and stuff but I don't really play any card games anymore.

[SolinariDotCom]

I roxor the boxors with my black "black death" Magic deck. I'm feared for my inability to play the game on any level other than mediocre.

[livetnediser]

Umm....I once won a promo Pikachu in a Pokemon card contest. I kicked ass at the GBC Pokemon TCG. I've looked at my little bros. Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I logged 16 hours into Duelist of the Roses. Is that enough?

[jimbojonesjr]

I collected Star Wars cards, and never learned to play, I collected Magic Cards and sucked horribly. I am the worst card battler ever!

[DMFunk]

OMG I WAS SO LIKE d00d I GOT THE MOST RULE DECK OF POKEMON EVER AND THIS KID WAS LIKE OMG DUDE AND THEN I WAS LIKE DOOD I RULE AT POKEMON AND HE WAS LIKE NO WAY MAN!!! AND THEN WE WERE LIKE DUDE I SO CHALLANGE YOU TO DUEL, AND THEN THE DUEL WAS LIKE OMG AND THEN WE FOUGHT FOR SEVERAL YEARS, LIKE MORE YEARS THAN THE 100 YEAR WAR AND THEN I WAS LIKE OMG DUDE GO BLASTOISE AND THEN BLASTOISE WAS ALL LIKE WATER GUN!!!

AND THEN ARCCANINE DIED AND I WAS LIKE OMG IM SO RULE!!! AND I WON!! I AM SO THE RULE! AND I SMITED HIM WITH MY GODLIKE POWERS AT POKEMON AND HE WAS LIKE: OW.

And yes, I actaully did play Pokemon tcg, and I did own a 8 year old with my blastoise deck when he used a fire deck... :P

[fastkilr]

Although I completely suck at Duel Masters, and am the most undeserving person here, I rock the Go fish like no other.

[RedvsBlue]

I'm proud to admit that I'm horrible at all card games. I used to be really good at the .hack TCG but I guess being good wasn't as fun so i quit. Yeah I'm an idiot I know.

[craven_fiend]

I am mediocre at best at any type of card games, so there is always room for improvement and this could help me to become a better overall card player. plus it looks kinda kick ass.

[video_gamer324]

I'm so good that I've never lost a single game, whether I play Pokemon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, or anything! However, I have way too many unfinished games that I quit when it looked like I'd lose.

[redline]

I have some friends that play Duel Masters and it looks really fun, but give me Lord of the Rings Online trading card game any day!! For all you cheapies, just go here and download it for free. You can play as a guest with one of two starter decks.
http://lotrtcg.decipher.com/download/

[YoshiFan1]

I'm not that good, I have won the game War a few times though

[SirIsaac]

I don't have skills

[nikkai]

You can use all the strategery you want (no spelling error =D), after I'm done giving you paper cuts w/ all my cards, you'll run home crying. Muwahahaha. =P

[virtualsmith]

I am the master of Magic, kinda good at Yu-Gi-Oh, and somewhat suck at Pokemon. But I can crush anyone at Texas Hold 'Em!

[r1s3n]

Well I manage to lose everytime I decide to get back into MTG I never learn that I suck hardcore.

r1s3n

[j_infamous]

sadly i used to play magic. we got to the point where we were importing cards from other countries because the english text got old.

[Maxwell31]

Can't play these card games for crap but if I win I'll have a reason to learn!

[frighugeorc]

Im sure if im good at card games...Im too busy letting all the kids win so they wont get upset and quit playing :P

[DaBargainHunta]

I am a whiz at Car Battler Joe.

Oh, you said CARD battling. ;) Me and friends stay up late chomping on popcorn, drinking 2 liter bottles of Pepsi, and battling away into the night.

Okay, not really. I've never done it, but there's a first time for everything - and this game could be it.

[jalu6]

Nuts to this lame-ass Duel Masters garbage. If you wanna have a real card battle, Uno is the only true game of champions.

Draw four wild, biotch.

[FunkMachineX]

I want me some free stuff.

I used to own at pokemon in the 4th grade.......not something i'm proud of but.....yeah...

[Badfish]

My card battling skills are so immense, that I've never once card battled, for fear of incontinence.

[rampage]

I've played Magic a couple times, and I can play a mean game of Solitaire.

[Minger]

Mad skills with cards...especially in blackjack :D

[doraemonkerpal]

i've made over $120 playing "big 2" and we were only betting a quarter a card!

[snotnose_colossal]

have the best card battling skillz, now gimme a free fuck ing games

[bwithers18]

Sadly enough I used to play the pokemon card game. I also played the MLB showdown game which I was really good at, IN MY PRIME!

[locutus411]

I have mad skills. I have a giant collection of Magic cards gathering dust to prove it.

[Indiana]

I'm a super novice at card battling and could probably lose to everyone! :)

[ninjadan]

I'm a newbie to this game. But I got mad skillz in Magic the Gathering ...

[Renzokuken]

I won a tournament a long time ago in Magic the Gathering with my White Rebel Deck. I put it to use recently and it still owns.

[BigSpoonyBard]

Pick me! I rock the Capcom vs. SNK Cardfighters Clash on the NeoGeo Pocket Color so hard that my toilet picked up my skills by proxy!

[Mr. Anderson]

I am the best Speed player you will ever meet in your entire life.

[kai123]

I have no skills at card games that is why I need to win this one. :wink:

[pimp tyranny]

i've watched Yu-Gi-Oh before, and have mastered all his strategies. i'm a formidable foe.

[EggViper]

well i used to collect pokemon cards but i never really battled with them. if i did i'd get wasted, so i just stuck to collecting which is the only thing im good with when dealing with cards.

[dragonzknight]

i like magic

[Matarick]

My card battling skills are so awesome that old ladies would much rather slit thier wrists by paper cuts than to loose against 1 man army in Canasta. Classic Rules, no less.

[m0rningbreakfast]

I fared pretty well with the Pokemon GC on the GBC, I took out most gym leaders using an insect deck (mostly Pinsir's) - even the leader of the fire Pokemon.

Picked up on how to play the Yu-Gi-Oh CG from that Yu-Gi-Oh PC game and later from that Kaiba expansion game.

[master_evil]

I'm not too good at this "card battle" thing simply because I've never played this game or any other similar games. But, it's never too late to learn, is it ? Hopefully, I'll win something in my life.

[Foxamojo]

I play a mean game of Blackjack, I'm pretty good at Triple Triad and so-so at Xenocard, but that's about it.

[LV-426RS]

My card battling skills are [b]MAD[/] at the game of War. You can take my 2's and 3's, but watch out when I pull out those random King's and Ace's!!! Them Queen bitches can be gruesome too.

[Dr Mario Kart]

Me and my younger brother used to throw cards at each other in the hopes that one could get lucky and throw it just right and give the other guy a mean paper cut. Once I gave him a pretty fancy cut across his cheek.

[KingDox]

I used to play a few CCGs back in the day. But I stoped since I never had anyone to play. I've gotten caught up on the whole texas showdown poker deal. I should have played at e3 when I had the chance, there was no line to play when I was there. I've only played a few times, but I'm decent.

[TheOldBoiler]

Back in the olden days, I had a pretty wicked kobold deck (MTG: Revised)

I still play the hell out of the microprose MTG: Duels of the Planeswalkers (PC) game. It never gets old.

Even figured out how to get it working over TCP/IP if anyone still has a copy I'm down for a game or two :)

[shadylane]

i'm gonna win this by doing it the bush way and saying i suck at everything...i have neer won a game in my life and i suck really bad...it's just a matter of time till they announce my name as winner

[Mr_hockey66]

OOOOOOOOo You didn't know???

Im A rough ridin, card slingin, pie eatin, smackdown givin, Kid stompin, Pokmon grabin, magic beatin, Combo tossin, Kid throwin, Parent slapin, Grandma kickin, SOB.

Oh its true. Its DAMN true.

If you don't like my card skilz you can take those cards, Shine them up real nice, Turn em side ways, ans STICK THEM STRIGHT UP YOUR CANDY ASS!

And Thats the bottom Line Cause Hockey said so!

If you SMELLLLLLLL.... WHAT THE HOCKEY ISSSSSSSSSSSS....... COOOKKKKIN

[godhatesjustyou]

i am very good at playing 13, i'm not sure if that is what its called, but with me and my friends, we just call it 13. well yeah, i am very awesome with that, always coming in 1st or 2nd.

[Drocket]

I've never played Duel Masters, but love MTG (and I'm not too bad at it either). Pick me!

[jimbodan]

I got mad skillz at Texas Hold'em, you can't beat card battling for money.

[Egg_Shen]

I like to rap battle with my yu gi oh cards.

[1010]

yu gi ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
let's DU DU DU DUEEEEELLLL!!!!

[Zero3]

My card battling skills are so amazing that I threw away a holofoil Yu-Gi-Oh card to see a 12 year old boy cry.

He got owned and I felt like a bigger man.

[eldad9]

I once battled 8 entire decks of cards at the same time and won.

[Explosion]

hi i have no card battling skills

i have never even touched an electronic card game other than solitare

im the champion

[Silk2]

I'm great at all card games except poker against my girl.. :boxing:

[Stezton]

Hmmmm...my card battling experiences would be Monster Rancher Battle Card &amp; the Pokemon trading card game on the gameboy...oh yeah and I think I played Magic: The Gathering twice. :lol:

[Sheik Rattle Enroll]

High stakes indian poker is my game!@

[bob_the_goon]

I used to be decent at magic. The goblin deck ruled. Culdcept inspied me to buy more magic after a 9 year hiatus because my girlfriend wanted to try it out. Oh yeah, my roomate and I once found a box of rare cards in the lobby men's room of our dorm. It had every mox, two black lotuses and a bunch of other rare stuff from alpha and beta. We made a tidy profit online.

[chaedog]

My card battling skills are so hardcore that at matches I bring a camera just so I can record myself and after the match play it back in slo mo so they can see play by play what happend, since my skills blinded them by thier sheer amount of suckiness compared to me.


My card battling skills are so good, when people go up against me I take away thier reason to live.


My card battling skills are so good I don't even need cards to win, I just show up to the match empty handed, and my opponent turns around and runs away crying.

My card battling skills are so good I once gave a guy 67 paper cuts with a Pokemon card when he cut in line at the Dragon Ball Z movie. That man was hospitalized and needed 5 STICHES.

My card battling skills are so good people give me money and run away when I threaten to use one on them.

[kaoticeyes]

I'm pretty good at Magic the Gathering back in my high school days. Then again, I should've pay more attention to my study instead of playing cards all day. :(

[DjSkittles]

I'm ashamed to say I used to love playing Magic and Star Wars. Geek am I.

[Leggo]

im so good with cards, once in junior hs i popped a zit on some dude's forehead at 50 paces.

granted, i was aiming for the window, but it was still cool.

[Morpheus]

My Blue Eyes is better than yours. :P

Go Pikachu!!! 8)

Sorry, that's the extent of my card battling knowledge.

-Morpheus

Forgot to add this: Chinpokomon scare me. :lol:

[Draccius]

I've got mad skillz with card games...

Er... I used to that is. Damn collapse of Magic the Gathering!

[PsyClerk]

For what it's worth, I'm 289-6 in SNK vs Capcom Cardfighter's Clash.

[auralia]

I won't say I have great skills anymore, but before I got married I LOVED playing magic the gathering, but now I don't have anyone to play with any more :( so I've got about 400$ worth of cards collecting dust, but I won't get rid of them in hopes I find someone to play w/ again some day.

[ezempel]

My card battling skills are decent, but at least I don't feel the need to spell skills with a "z".

I enjoy a lot of card battle type games, starting with Magic years ago, then the Star Wars CCG. I took a few years hiatus from these games, but now my co-workers and I play card games at lunch almost daily. Munchkin is a favorite, as is Mystery Rummy, The Testimony of Jacob Hollow, Chrononauts, and Fluxx.

Recently we have gotten HEAVILY into Culdcept on the PS2, and wish that we could bring a PS2 into the office so we could all card-battle each other during lunch. Unfortunately, this will probably not happen, although a good card battle game on the GBA would be doable.

Card battling has made me get to know my co-workers better and even make new friends. A new card game would be a nice present we could all share.

[legion_stxds]

:twisted: I'm just plain tech when it comes to card battling. I have been playing Magic the Gathering on a semi pro level for the last five years now. I spend hours fine tuning decks inorder to methodically crush the opposition. :twisted:

[mastermind]

I was playing blackjack in a casino once and I went all in and won $100,000. And then I woke up. :oops:

[toona]

I don't have any card skills myself but my kids are nuts about it. I need this so I can practices and whoop them good.....

[danny-o]

I have mad card skills. I can play 52 pick up with the best of them.

[Scrubking]

Not sure what you mean about my card battling skills, but I like card games like yugioh, culdcept, etc.

[Megatron1179]

When about to lose I'll cheat by throwing in my complete Marvel Universe Series 1 with Holgrams card set at you! *BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eskimo]

My card battling skills are fierce!

[Rabidmuskrat]

I may not have ever had the most Magic cards because they were so darned expensive, but I always made do with what I had.

[meteors]

I rock the house at Spades and Rummy. Seriously, watch out!

meteors

[Zomboi]

I'm so good at card battling I could beat Gambit with my card attacking skizzles! (I also NEVER lose at Crazy 8's)

[rile0161]

I have awesome card battling skills. Once I was in a fight with an assasin at a school...I kicked the gun from his hand then we started kung fu fighting. I eventually got him into a sleeper hold and stabbed him with a playing card over and over till he died.

It sucked though because then the girl that I was in love with from high school saw the dead body and freaked out...it all worked out in the end though.

[ddrMoPanda]

I have experience from playing CCG's and as well games that were based upon those CCG's and other games that feature card battling in general. I find the types of games very enjoyable to play since you can control what kind of cards you want to have.

While not a master, I am fairly adept at the art and science of playing both limited and constructed variants of collectable card games. I have a grasp of Game Theory and gamesmanship, as well as being well versed with the concepts that drastically boost your winning percentage in such games, such as card advantage, synergistic gameplay mechanics and such.

Not only is this helpful in the play of CCGs, but grants benefits to your ability to play any other card game, including those that are so beloved of gamblers.

[JGonspy]

My card battling skills are epic! Does this game work anything like Hearts?

[Cornfedwb]

My poker skills are so superior I managed to lose 9 large at the tables last time I was in Vegas.

[XboxMaster]

I'm so awesome, I could beat Dark Yugi with a pre-constructed deck and my eyes closed!!! Oh yeah...

[Flamegames]

My conception was decided over a game of friggin egyption ratscrew. When I was born, they couldn't decide on a name, but ended up naming me Jack. I guess they didn't feel like King, Ace, or Deuce were good names for a boy. I owned at Go Fish in Preschool and by the time I was 15 I was known as Jack the Shifter. Basically, now I am the greatest cardmaster ever. I can make a pyramid cards. I made a makeshift shotgun outof magic the gathering cards. I owned the first 52 most wanted Iraqi card deck.


Oh Yeah! You all suck at cards and I own all!

[robot]

Never played Deul Masters card game before, so this would be a better time than any to start!

[sapientiam]

I have &lt;3 of the cards!!!!

[racerman8]

I don't have any card battling skills, but I watch Yugioh every Saturday morning.

[metroidkiller9]

i like to play tetra master

[ZarathosNY]

I won't say I have great skills anymore, but before I got married I LOVED playing magic the gathering, but now I don't have anyone to play with any more :( so I've got about 400$ worth of cards collecting dust, but I won't get rid of them in hopes I find someone to play w/ again some day.

I'm in the same boat. I was playing during revised theough the dark. I had a group that met once a week to play magic, but they all drifted away. I still have my cards, and won't sell them. Try Magic online. You can get into magic again and not have to look for players.

[suga]

I can kick my boyfriends ass in the pokemon tcg. :P

[Outrager]

I played Magic: TG against the owner of this comic store and LOST! Can't beat that. I didn't know what any of the cards did because I'm not a real hardcore player. I just went because my brother and cousin went. I think I pissed him off nice, though, with my slow pace and lack of skills.

[ps99472]

i have no skills with cards...

[BrerDan]

I have absolutely zero card battling skills. None. Nada. Zip.

I have never played a card-based game. I think they scare me. But for free, I'd love to be initiated.

No skills, willing to learn. That's me.

BrerDan

[Ebraum]

Never tried this type of game. I'm just now playing my first RPG, but I do have mad Uno skills Yo !

[koster]

I've found numerous card fighting techniques here:

http://www.cardthrowing.com/

[Danro]

my card skillz are beyond description and have to be seen to believed....

[satan0]

I don't play Duel Masters yet. But this is even more incentive to begin. Damnit just gimme the prize now.

I play Magic. I'm good but not the best. My mono-blue deck can kick some major ass. Well against the noobs lol.

[MSI Magus]

Im so awsome that I beat my friends deck worth several hundred dollars that he had placed in state magic card tourneys with with my cheap $30 deck.....multiple times.

Im so awsome that I had a Green deck go undeafeted for dozens of matchs.

[bjkrautk]

I only play CCGs via computer games (it's much cheaper that way. ;)) nowadays. The only CCG I really got into was OverPower, but Marvel's bankruptcy got in the way of that game. I'd like to think I have some deck-building skills...but I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who'd think that notion laughable.

So far, I've tried Pokemon, DBZ, and Yu-Gi-Oh....but no Duel Masters. Maybe this contest can change all of that.

[David85]

I played Magic: The Gathering before I got a life, so I should win. :)

[emperorhadrian]

I got a pack of yu-gi-OH! (emphasis on the OH!) cards two weeks ago onc learance and I have yet to still understand what in the hell is going on. In any case, I pick only characters that have grimaces on their faces, because hey, they're obviously into it.

[hwong3]

I've played Magic since its inception 10 years ago. I spent every last dollar and starved for weeks while in college just so I could buy one more booster of Magic cards. Sometimes I would sit in the corner of my room by myself in the dark holding on to my Black Lotus magic card petting and and calling it "My Precious" (Golem actually got that line from me after he tried to steal my Black Lotus magic card).

In between I played the Pokemon CCG. My wife was interested in Pokemon so I started buying the cards. I bought so many cards and force my wife to play so many games of Pokemon, that she now hates Pokemon and has packed away all the cards -- which take up two full storage boxes. I even started offering 8 and 9 year old kids tons of money and candy in trade for just one more foil Charizard card.

I recently got back into Magic again and once more I've spent more than I care to imagine on Magic cards. I've bought and played so much Magic, I haven't even had time for video games!

This Duel Master prize should be mine because (1) I love CCGs, (2) I love Wizard of Coast CCGs and have played both Magic and Pokemon CCG, (3) I love videogames and (4) I love this message board. ;)

Seriously though, I think this will help ease me back from playing CCGs to the more important things in life...playing video games!!! :twisted:

[danh920]

my card battling skills have been limited to magic, my favorite tactic was right before death, using a wrath of God card and wiping out the table

[hwong3]

BTW, if anyone wants to meet up and play Magic in person, and you live in NYC, let me know. I have some friends here who also like to play. We've since started only playing Type II legal decks to avoid any of us running to our cellers and storage boxes to pull out the old Black Lotuses. ;)

[hwong3]

I almost forgot, after my long-winded tirade above concerning my CCG addiction and why I should get this prize, I forgot to talk about my CCG skills.

I had a nearly unbeatable Vampire/Tim/Icy Manipulator/Royal Assassin deck back in the day when I played Magic in College. It was black/blue and was based around lots of Vampires (including Baron Sengir) which grew when damaged, lots of fast mana (ala moxes, Black Lotus, Dark rituals and sacrifice lands), multiple Tims and tim-like cards (that tapped to deal one damage) and four Icy Manipulator's coupled with Royal Assassins to tap and destroy any of my opponent's creatures. There were a couple counterspells in there as well for good measure.

Now I like to use a Cleric or Soldier tribal deck. I find they work great, particularly with all the Clerics and Soldiers in the Legions/Scourge/Onslaught Block of cards.

I preferred using a Pikachu/Richu based deck for Pokemon. I also completed the Pkemon trading card game for Gameboy.

In addition, I played and finished the little known but awesome tradng card video game for the Neo Geo Pocket Color called Fighters Card Clash. It was a video game based on a card game using famous Capcom and SNK fighting characters (e.g. Ken, Ryu, Chun Li etc.). It was so awesome, I played it twice.

Hows that for addicted?

P.S. I'm also decent at Blackjack, Hearts and Euchre.

[Misty Dawn]

My battling skills officially suck :P

I'm persistant though and with excessive amounts of resets I completed a full card deck on the Triple Triad in FF8 :D (I got a little star for it!)

[MasterSun1]

I was ranked #1 a few weeks back for Duel Masters in Oregon. Soon I will return to that spot!

[SSPrelude]

I'm known as the most fierce player in my area. I'm still the reign champion and undefeated. If you happened to play me in card game, it's already over before it began. Watch out!

[trumby]

UNO,

[Hobo13]

Dude, I played Magic in 6th grade. Geektastic

[dralusion]

my card can beat up your card! My card is bigger than your card! So watch out...im stacked

[JohnHam]

I love Card Games, but I don't know if I'm toooo good at it. Only card game I played on GBA was Pokemon TCG, which was pretty good.

I'd love to start up playing again. I love MTG too.

[set]

I played in the world series of poker!

No joke... so I must be good at cards.

[droidekaspam]

I'm alright at cards. Pokemon! j/k.

[Romeo]

I used to play the Pokemon card game and was pretty into it. I have two Charizard first editions... like that means anything today. :?

[gashlycrumb]

I am excellent at 52 Pick Up. I always win!~

Actually, not sure if anyone has heard of it but Blue Moon is a fun game about doing battle with various cards and it is not collectable! Yay!

[CaptainObviousXl]

I love card games, iv played, ruled, and mastered most of them. A few to name are magic, pokemon, starwars, harry pothead, and alot more that i cant think of i think there was this game with 5 rings or somin oh well. I wanna win so bad
edit: i also played dbz

[Noodle Pirate!]

I once beat my comatose grandmother in a game of old maid, but she came back to win 3 more games in a row and then died in the middle of the 4th so it was a draw.
Yes fear my 1337 card battling skillz.

[gamemasterjd]

uh..i pklayed pokemon, magic, digimon, dbz, and yugioh. i also played duel monsters. hee i made a n acceptance speech already!.!

[jclast]

My best card battle victory came during a game of Munchkin Fu. I'm playing as a Samurai / Ninja (due to my having a Super Munchkin card in play at the time). I'm level 6 (one needs to be level 10 to win). I draw from the Alley card pile, no monster. I go looking for trouble and fight a level 7 monster from my hand. I then play a stunt double card from my hand, so there are two monsters, with a total of 14 levels between them. Thanks to my Samurai Helmet (+4), and my Demon-posessed Mook (+12), I beat both monsters. Being a Samurai gets me two levels for anything I kill that's higher than my level. This allowed me to win the game from level 6.

[Cmosfm]

I'm so good...I can kick your Yu-Gi-Oh card's asses with my POKEMON CARDS.

O_O

[UPdownLoAD]

I know how to play 52 card pickup. I can play a mean game of asshole. Im decent at blackjack.

Ya, I just can't top that so why even bother.... 8)

[retroguru]

Used to play magic with some friends...made some awesome decks, even one that I was never allowed to use again because it took hours for just one game!

[zenimann89]

i kick ass

[V4MP]

Don't get me started.. I'm so teh pwn at card gaming. :roll:

[OnyxPrimal]

I suck at sealed deck play. :) I'm pretty good at constructed though. Not like "Kneel Before Zod!!" good, but not bad.

[Don Chubo]

I once was in the process of robbing a Shop-N-Go when the police showed up. After my clip was empty, I grabbed 2 packs of Bicycles off of the rack and managed to sling them with authority - severed 3 cop jugulars, and hamstringed an innocent bystander before those $$$s lobbed in the tear gas. I'm in the middle of my stretch, and I could use something to pass the time while sitting in my Supermax cell.

Either that, or you just paid the entry fee and let your money get added to the pot, thanks to a soul crushing series of losses. :)

[Masterkyo]

I heard this game is very popular in Japan but my budget kinda low right now. If i win the contest is going to be GREAT !

[mrtoki]

I rock at posuedos.. big2.. or whatever it's called

[radjago]

I once made a battleship out of playing cards. It was over 4 feet long and 2 feet tall. I'll try to find a picture and post it.

EDIT: I found a pic. Behold my fearsome card battleship!

Note the Sega Master System games on the shelf on the right. That's the humble beginning of my video game collection.

[zewone]

[ryanflucas]

I'm the duel master! I got the skillz!

[Dakkon]

I use to be the master of Magic the Gathering. I went to all these tournaments at the local geek hangout, and won most of the time. But one day I was up against this little 12 year old pipsquik (I was 14 at the time) and we were battling for the title of champion of the 7th Age. Everything was going well, until I noticed him slipping an Azure Dragoon out of his sleeve (I guess he wasn't very good at other types of "Magic") anyway to make a long story short it took 3 guys (not every impressive considering they were magic geeks too) to pull me off of him. His mom called the cops, and i ended up with parole and as part of my parole I'm no longer allowed to play card games. So hopefully I can win this GBA game, and slip it under the watchful eyes of my parole officer and get back into the card battling scene.

[stealthshadow]

I can play speed very fast, and I don't mind a good game of YuGioH.

[mrpotatohed]

Yo, I gotz mad L33T card skilZ. I should win this contest too because of my L33tn3$$.

[shrewmdust]

one time i was walkin down the street and this cop saw me put my m:tg burn deck into my coat pocket and he busted me for concealment of a deadly weapon. thats how masterful i am.

[ShardZ]

Yo, I gotz mad L33T card skilZ. I should win this contest too because of my L33tn3$$. Me too, except times 5! I plain a mean game of solitaire.

[JohnnyDrama]

My card battling skills aren't the best, but I do enjoy an occasional game of speed and poker.

[shawnbarr]

I rack up mad cabbage battling people in BlackJack.

[mousin]

um, i can beat people at gold fish, eh? skillz. and i can own you at 52 pick up's ! =] im entering for the fun of it

[scarface65]

I got my kids playing pokemon when it first came out and then bought the Nintendo 64 edition and the gamecube which is alot better. I have bought them over 4000 cards. probably useless now but will save for the future. They learned to love yugeho (Spelling). Anyway I would like to win so they can find new happiness with another card game.

[kittycatgirl2k]

I seem to suck at card games. But I still like to play them... Magic the Gathering.. Oh hell I had some Dragonlance cards back in the day but reallyyy, I just want this so I can have something new to play at work. So broke... so broke... and being without a game for 8 hours of intense boredom is... madness!!!! Madness!!!!

[maxguy56]

My mad twisted card skills are as follows: I have never lost a game of magic.
*hopes nobody knows he's only played once*
:-$

[erika1209]

CARD BATTLING?I'm good at UNO and Go FIsh, I can also open a can of whoop ass on my little cousins in Yu Gi OH!!

[Pure Apathy]

My card battling skills consist mainly of old maid, go fish, and poker. I used to have some hefty battles in the WWF With Authority game too :)

[Viking WarHammer]

Card Battling Skillz huh?

Ever hear of a game called RF? Otherwise known as Egyptian War? Bloody Stump, Slap, Egyptian Rat Screw, Egyptian Rat F*ck... Put you hand on those double jacks, and I swear on all that is holy I will smash your friggin fingers off!. They're all the same game, and I've been playing for 4 years since freshman year of HS.

I'm proud to say that I still have all my fingers.

If you still don't know what I'm talking about, here's a link to a site with rules. You should really learn it... really fun on school days when no work is assigned but they'll still take away your GBA if you pull it out.

http://www.waste.org/~oxymoron/cards/ratscrew.html

Have Fun.

[Sylent Khaos]

No one can beat me at Spades. Hell, I can even play Gin Rummy. My favorite is Uno, but that thats a child's game (and my Spanish is mediocer at best comprede).

[Dovenche]

Well I can give a pretty deep paper cut if that counts.

[THE DARK KNIGHT]

After the war in Iraq I am a spades master.

[Lord Hamm]

I played Magic almost ten years ago, so My "Skills" may be rusty, but I was badass back in the day with my Red(Mountain) and Black(Swamp) deck...

Red(Mountain) and Black(Swamp) were the best, though I liked some Green(Forest) stuff too....

[OutlawJT]

I figured it doesn't hurt to cast my one in five hundred chance at winning this. I actually really like Duel Masters and really want the game but I can't afford it right now without trading in games. How sad is that to not be able to afford a GBA game without trade-ins? Anyway, I am a better than average Yu-Gi-Oh duelist and so far as I can tell I am a pretty decent Duel Masters player. Unfortunately there's no one where I live to play against so this game is about my only chance at an opponent other than playing againt myself short of wading through all the cry-babies, wannabe's and holier-than-thou players that can be found online on mirc. Hopefully this little post will be enough to win. If not, at least some of the other posts were amusing to read. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for it.

[Death2Sanity]

entrez-moi! I, uhm, used to play magic and stuff...yeah, those are my skillz.

[GSJaia]

I am the card battling master. Nobody can touch me in a heated game of war! (Then again I stack the deck so I have all the aces and kings)

[zenithyoda]

I always win . .

'Cause if I don't, you just might be getting some paper cuts between your toes or fingers . . .


Just kidding! I do like playing some card battling games, although I am not gonna dish out tons of money to build a good deck, so I just use friends.
