My Blackwing Deck v0.1

   Ok so after receiving my first order of cards from CoreTCG (I order both Blackwings for me and Crystal Beasts for my Girlfriend) I am finally able to start making my Blackwing deck. I only ordered the basic blackwings and blackwing support so no Allure of Darkness, no Dark Armed Dragon, none of that just yet. So until then here is my Blackwings v0.1.

Blackwings v0.1

Traps: 8

Ultimate Offering
Reckless Greed


My Notes:
   I think the monsters are set up pretty well, I'm thinking of getting 1-2 copys of Vayu and possably a Dark Armed Dragon though.
 As for the spell and traps, Tribute to the Doomed and Lightning Vortex are just replacments for Icarus Attack until I can grab 3 copies. I'm going to be getting Black Whirlwind soon, but in its place for now I have two Double Summons to try to keep the sworm speed up. I'm also looking into getting Allure of Darkness and a couple of copies of Cards for Black Feathers for alittle extra draw power, but until I get those I have a Reckless Greed.
   So its pretty clear I still need a few more cards and to make a few changes, but what can you expect this is only v0.1. I still have a way to go before this deck will see tournament play, but as I make changes and obtain new cards I'll be making updates.

Online Vender Review - CoreTCG

This is my first review for any online Yu-Gi-Oh card vender. Well here I go.

   I first became intrested in CoreTCG after comparing there prices to other venders on the internet. And compared to others I saw CoreTCG is really one of the cheapest. Their website is pretty easy to use, not as easy as others like yugiohmint.com, but it was easy. I just got my first order in the mail today and all the cards are as described on the site Near-mint, Mint.
   I had an over all good experience with CoreTCG, but there are a couple things they need to work on. Their site claims that the order will be prossessed in 48 Hours, but my order took 5 days to prossess (and my 2nd is on its 5th day) that is a little long for my taste. My 2nd complaint has to do with the website itself. Every page you click on it asks you "Do you want to view only the webpage contect that was delivered securely?" and you have to click no otherwise you cant see any of the cards images, its kind of annoying after having to click no 50 times just to get all the cards I want.

Here are the pros and cons of CoreTCG
Pros:
Very Cheap
Easy the use Website
Cards are as NM-Mint

Cons:
LONG Prossessing
Annoying Security pop-up every page

To sum it up CoreTCG is a great and cheap Online Vender that just has a couple kinks to work out. So if your looking for cheap cheap cards and don't mind the wait I recommend CoreTCG.com.
