If this card destroys a monster by battle, after damage calculation: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; return that monster to the Deck instead of sending it to the Graveyard.

Statistics on Tour Guide of the Underworld from YCS Kansas City

Some Statistics from the YCS Kansas City about Tour Guide From The Underworld.

Did you know?
At YCS Kansas City, there were more than 600 players.
From the 32 players of the Top 32, if they all played 3 copies of Tour Guide From The Underworld, they would have been 96 Tour Guide in the top.
On the 32 players, 4 players ran 0 Tour Guide, 1 player ran 1 Tour Guide, and 27 players ran 3 copies of Tour Guide, so from the potencial 96 Tour Guide there were 82/96 Tour Guide.
Now let's pretend the player who had only 1 Tour Guide didn't have any.
27/32 of the top players played 3 Tour Guide, that's 84.375% of the players of the Top 32.
So statistically, if you play with 3 Tour Guide, you have 84% of chance to make it to the Top 32.

For someone who don't know how many Tour Guide worth, he could think that Tour Guide is as useful, cheap and powerful as Monster Reborn. But we all know that's not the case, everyone knows Monster Reborn is more powerful than Tour Guide, right? ;)

It is(/was) obvious now that, if you don't play Tour Guide, you won't get into the top. For the next YCS, you now know that if you don't play 3 Tour Guide, you have 15% chance to make to the Top 32.
But I'm not saying, if you have no Tour Guide, don't play at YCS, just saying that probabilities are not in your favor.
Let's hope Konami is aware of this and reprint Tour Guide as quick as possible.

Karakuri is not so bad after all

I have played Karakuri for awhile and after that I played Karakuri Machina Plants thinking it was better, and then I played Six Samurai ^^ (It was after Storm of Ragnarok was release). After Komachi 224 Ninishi was release in Extreme Victory I kept on playing Karakuri Machina Plant but not for tournaments. I was thinking "as long as nobody proves to me that Karakuri can make a apparition in a Top 16 of something, I won't play it for tournaments." So now is the time, Karakuri just lost in the Top 4 of the last YCS (YCS Kansas City) and one other lost in the Top 16.

There is the decklist of the Karakuri player who made it to Top 4:
