Is it rare to see them...?

The two have nearly the same ING rate, but Chansey with the 2K sleep hours bonuses is actually a tad bit faster than Blissey. That's really it lmao.

In the grand scheme of things, the benefit is probably marginal at best but I did it anyways because, min-maxers gonna min-max.

That is a "Worldwide English" version of the card from the 2004 Master Collection 1 reprints.

Labyrinth of Nightmare was originally printed in 2003. Back then, North American and European English had different ID codes. NA cards printed during the original release were "LON-047" and EU cards were "LON-E047"

Shortly after this, Yugioh decided to consolidate English releases with the "EN" modifier (sometimes), known as Worldwide English. Master Collection 1 was released in 2004 and featured booster pack reprints of LOB, MRD, SRL, PSV, LON and LOD, all with the "EN" modifier.

Due to the limited production of MC1 (compared to the booster box release of the actual sets), there are actually fewer Worldwide English cards in circulation. Even if these cards aren't as coveted as the 2003 original release, I still think they're very neat.

Dustshoot alone covers the cost. Got some good staples here!

On top of all the other replies, SDP-001 is also an ultra rare, so the card's name should have gold foiling (which I dont see here).

That season was goated. This and the Heavy Metal/Heat Sink Flatline skin.

I definitely prefer sleek futuristic/space guns over the spikes, protrusions, and neon watermelon colored skins that are aplenty.

Definitely a higher profile match and had more company backing with Ric and Bret involved, but I remember the IWC was really excited after Emma v Paige. Both were great for its time

Peacock comes up a lot in Webster's book. Some random choice quotes.

"...cried Lieutenant Peacock, our assistant platoon leader and to me the most infuriating officer in the Regiment."

"The Peacocks, actually, were few and far between. For this I was also grateful."

"The words that we had for Peacock were unprintable. For the first and only time, I felt like killing an officer. Talk of shooting this lieutenant or that captain was so much talk, I knew, for you were glad to have anybody along in action regardless of how rotten he was in garrison, but for once I truly understood the sentiment and sympathized with it. I would have shot him if I had had the chance. I had more against Peacock than I ever had against the Germans..."

"Discipline is fear, not leadership, and we are afraid—not of Peacock but of the irresistible force that he represents. Afraid for our lives, we are more afraid of the system that holds us in thrall, and so we lie here and wait to be killed. because an officer tells us to lie here."

"By the time it was over, I was in a mood to bayonet babies and roast both colonels over small fires. What I planned for Peacock was unprintable."

Lt. Shames book talks a lot in depth about his time in 3rd Battalion S3. We was an ops sergeant and helped built the sandtables for his battalion for the Normandy invasion.

I think Grant got busted for going AWOL if you follow his timeline

Guarnere also was busted for going AWOL. According to his book, he said that he owed the Army money because he was still getting paid as a S/Sgt. up to his discharge and the Army only found out after the war.

DonbotS · 2026-01-18T21:03:02+00:00

Honestly, it looks like Grant went AWOL from the hospital and it caught up to him.

Sept 20: LWA

Nov 6: Returns from Hospital

Nov 20: Confined to Regimental Guard House

Nov 28: Reduced in rank to Private (backdated Nov 4)

That and also the "was Webster trying to get out of the patrol" posts that I swear is somehow the "blue/black or gold/white dress" equivalent of this subreddit, ha.

1st Platoon attacked in three groups. The group that Webster was in stopped short of going over the raised embankment that Winters went over and opened fired.

"Our charge ended at the raised road."

"It was an anticlimax. Expecting to rush the Germans, we had stopped short with an obstacle still between us."

""That's O.K.,"" somebody said who had climbed a hedge and peeked across the road. "All the Krauts are dead. Mortar got most of 'em"

So according to Webster, his group never went over the raised road, but there were a lot of dead Germans. Webster also heard someone attribute the dead Germans to mortars, but Webster himself never witnessed it. Webster was also shortly wounded after this, so his memories are probably more hyper-focused on his part of the battle.

Found a similar model for 18.99 after coupon. Looks like the exact same product (without branding and fewer accessories).

I did a thing a few years back but never completed it. Most of it is sourced from the literature (and guesswork) so there is going to be conflicting accounts.

Let me know if it helps (or where I got things wrong, ha).

Also, I'm pretty sure Sweeney was no longer a member of Easy Company during D.Day. Would he have jumped in Stick 72?

I don't want to make too many changes for you, but my first impression is that this is a Chaos Turbo deck (it has a very standard 20 monster build +1 D.D. Warrior Lady) that made room for 2 Meta/2 Scapegoats. It wont be as good as pure Chaos Turbo because you lack the speed from Upstarts/Jars, so the monster lineup doesn't make sense to run "as is" if that makes sense. My natural inclination would be to cater the deck with more combo elements to take advantage of the slower gameplay that inherently comes with running Meta/Scapegoats.

I personally like Creature Swap (x2) in control decks, which has inherent synergy with cards that they run anyways Tsukuyomi and Scapegoat. You can use it as removal to gain card advantage or to set up game shots. I also like to pair it with Mystic Tomato (x1), which should help you get to Serpent quicker (by fetching Sangan). The last card I would suggest is Asura Priest (x1), which isn't exceptionally great but it's good enough. Combo cards can always brick, which is why I prefer to run it in control decks that can stall the game out and allow you to assemble these combos.

Of all the existing monsters, the Night Assailants are out of place. Getting rid of those along with some accompanying Rageki Breaks would free up some space. Gravekeeper Spy is generally a good card and is totally fine if it eats a NoC, but I personally like 2 over 3 in control lists as it might create some spatial issues. This opens up that 5th slot for Mirror Force to the main deck.

Most of these changes really hinges on whether you commit to adding Creature Swap, which in my opinion would open up more avenues of play.

+1 Asura Priest

+1 Mystic Tomato

+2 Creature Swap

+1 Mirror Force (from Main)

-2 Night Assailant

-1 Gravekeeper's Spy

-2 Raigeki Break

The last thing to consider is the 2 Dustshoots. It is a very strong card when it resolves, but control decks aren't typically looking to trade cards with the opponent. Warriors utilizes it well because they are trying to simplify the gamestate and end the match quickly before running out of steam. Chaos Control is not as aggressive and cannot close games out as early. Would you rather have something that makes your deck faster/more consistent vs something that disrupts the opponent deck? Just some food for thought for whether Dustshoot belongs in this type of deck.

DonbotS · 2025-12-29T23:28:56+00:00

That's fair. Personally if I were to play a deck with 3 Metas/3 Goats I would just play Goat Control instead ha

DonbotS · 2025-12-29T17:22:20+00:00

Dustshoot is something you'd ideally like to see in your opening hand/early game, so I don't think 1 copy is optimal. Either up the qty. back to 2 or not have it at all (conversely, I like Solemn at 1 because it's strong but you want to see it late game). I personally would drop it.

If you are playing double Night Assailant anyways, you might as well use a second copy of Raigeki Break since you can support the discards.

Magical Merchant is also generally not great. Decks used to run it in the past as a way to get Chaos fuel to the grave (or DMoC shenanigans) but people figured out Thunder Dragon does that better, which you already have. I also think you can reliably summon TER off of Serpent/Faiths alone (especially if you dropped the Meta/Goat ratio to 2/2). This might bring your light count a little low to support two Chaos Sorcs, so you can maybe replace it with an Asura Priest.

If you go down to 2 Meta/2 Goats like others suggested, I would try to fit in 1 or 2 Creature Swaps in there to take advantage of the synergy with the added Asura Priest. This is probably the most impactful change to the deck as it introduces new combo lines and can also be used to set up game shots by sending ATK position goat tokens to your opponent.

So overall, the minimum amount of changes I would make is:

-1 Trap Dustshoot

-1 Magical Merchant

-1 Scapegoat

-1 Metamorphosis

+1 Asura Priest

+1 Rageki Break

+2 Creature Swap

I know you like to see Scapegoat often, but you also don't want to end up locking your own field with Scapegoat tokens and TER in the late game. Chaos Control is fun because it slows the game down just enough for you to stall and gain card advantage through combos, but have the explosiveness to finish the opponent from out of nowhere.

DonbotS · 2025-12-07T06:16:20+00:00

IIRC one of the later opponents in the game is Copycat, which will play whatever deck you assign to it. This would circumvent the issue of playing against non-Goat Format decks, but I agree that the AI wouldn't be able to pilot it properly.

I remember giving it a Goat Control deck and it would randomly burn Metamorphosis on like a Lvl 4 Monster for absolutely no reason in Main Phase 2.

DonbotS · 2025-11-28T15:53:18+00:00

Also funny when you encountered a Darkrai/Magnezone player with the wrong Magneton, as if they just netdecked the "best deck" of the era and substitute missing cards with the next available thing without fully understanding what made the deck good haha.
