Card of the Day Review : Solidarity

It's Team Hurricane Jimmy here.....
So hello fellow readers whether you play ygo or not......
So today I'm gonna be talkin about the card "Solidarity" (even though I never liked it).....
Let's look at it's effect first of all:
Spell - Continuous
If you have only 1 original (printed) Type of monster in your Graveyard, face-up monsters you control with the same Type gain 800 ATK.

And some theme decks tend to have only one type of monster within the deck eg. Spellcasters, Winged Beasts, Machines and so forth....... But other decks don't, For example coz I run Giant Rat which is a Beast within a Machina Gear (Machina + Ancient Gears) Deck which are machines I should not run solidarity coz I could end up having two types of monsters in my graveyard........

And what's even worse is that it stacks.......
Example:
Activate 1st Solidarity, Here ya go 800 ATK - Monsters Say YAY!
Activate 2nd Solidarity, Here's another 800 ATK - Monsters say YIPEEE!!!!
Thats 1600 extra atk!!!!! - Opponent's Monsters say FML! (FK My Life)

Solidarity can allow monsters with weak att to take down bigger monsters.....
In the current Meta, Attacking is the best way to win and to overcome synchros with ease is to have bigger beatsticks than the opponent........

Solidarity is especially popular in Machina Gadgets......It even comes with the structure deck : Machina Mayhem........ In The 2010 Washington DC YCS, Peter Cheng a user of Machina Gadgets came 1st in the top 32..... He ran Solidarity over more flexible cards such as book of moon or shrink......... Book of Moon is surely one of the most flexible cards in the meta but Cheng chose Solidarity over Book of Moon.....

In my preference, Solidarity is a bad card and a bad topdeck overall.... Book of Moon and Smashing Ground are better cards..... But it all comes down to player's preference... Cheng used it and he came 1st..... So is it a good card afterall?

So what do you think? Post your comments and opinions on our youtube channel.......

Blackwings-still alive and strong or dead>??

Hey guys this is team leader Alex and i wanna discuss blackwings which i was inspired to build after i joined my first locals and got destroyed by the speed that blackwings had back in the 2009 march format. i vsed two blackwing decks and both ripped me apart. But when the 2010 march format hit i was happy to find that lightsworns/twilight have been destroyed and they dont reign the game anymore as compared to infernities and x sabers. Although it did shake blackwings and cripple the already crippled deck by semi limiting the search enginblack whirlwind and also limiting the draw power of the deck allure of darkness. In one of most recent YCS infernities and sabers dominated the top 32 as expected and only 1 blackwing deck made the top 32. So why dont the blackwings still reign at the tops? i mean the best deck variant of blackwings is one that runs opression such as vayu opression which is the variant im playing right now. Opression should be able to cripple the meta as it restricts special summoning for a price of 800 LP blackwings still have impressive speed but in comparison to sabers and infernities they just dont seem to be fast enough. or is it because those decks r still new and broken so they havent yet been crippled by the format. I wonder if konami has overdone the damage to blackwings and made them near unplayable in the format now. because the supposed "support" that blackwing users were expecting was rubbish and the only noteworthy one would be breeze the zephyr or however u spell it :L
So yeah if u guys could all help me discuss this topic and explain why blackwings just arent up to scratch anymore that would be helpful thanks
