BESR Easton Stealth comp in AWESOME shape.

It's a 34" too, which are dead nuts hard to come by.

Knew I had to have it as soon as it came up for sale.

I call this the "Stealing Deck"

Made this back when I was a kid as a "fun" challenge deck using anime/manga cards.

I think you can see a theme 😂

Good memories with the old Voodoo.

Best BESR ever made IMO; at least for about a month until they explode 😂

The next project begins...

I'm going to see if I can find somebody to make a new air bladder for this old girl; I'm about 99% certain that even perfect condition Air Attacks have all lost their nitrogen over the decades.

If I can pull it off, then this might be the only "restored" Air Attack out there...

Here's a bat you won't see often: a Gold-5 Connexion Z-core

For anyone who played in the late 90s/early 00s then you might recognize this. They seem to be dead nuts hard to find; almost all of these were -3 BESRs. Plenty of people say that the gold and orange Connexions were the hottest versions.

Also fun fact; the Connexion is what you have to thank for two-piece bats nowadays! Was just a little before its time, as composite changed the game.

How strong do you think Kenpachi Kuruyashiki would have become if he HAD joined the Royal Guard?

Presuming he goes through the Soul King ceremonies, gets the Reio's power and Ōken bones, has his Reiatsu enhanced by Hikifune's food, and has his Bankai restricted by the Blood Oath Seal?

My go-to Chaos Control Phoenix hybrid deck

Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I always have a great time piloting this deck.

I think a lot of people get pigeonholed into the idea that you need to commit totally to a single line per main deck and just side into another strategy as needed, but I think that as long as you can create a meaningful overlap between strategies then there's no reason why not to experiment a little (aside from the occasional awful hand).

The main thing I get asked about is no Book which is admittedly the one card I feel like I could include in some aspect, but at least for the plays I usually go for I find that it doesn't do much that Tsukuyomi doesn't already provide.

EDIT: In recreating my deck for the image I seem to have forgotten Exiled Force in my side deck. Silly mistake.

Do you think Unohana can perform 90's level Hado/Bakudo without incantation?

Aside from anime filler we never really get to see her prowess with offensive Hado or Bakudo, although given Kubo-sensei's revelation of just how difficult and precise "proper" Kaido is to master (even among talented Kido practitioner), with the fullest extent of it only even able to be achieved by ~2% of learners, I can't help but think that to be able to mater such a high-skill branch of Kido would also mean that Unohana ought to have fully master more "traditional" Kido methods as well.

I'm "assuming" this is some kind of miniature salesman's or display sample, as this Easton Redline is only 16" long; so it's a bit less than half the size of a "real" one.

Does anybody "in the know" recognize this? I can't imagine it was something ever meant to be sold to the general public, and I've never seen one myself.
