For once I must agree with you :D. I have a most massive collection of cards, and still refrain from using anything but the cheapest most common version of something in an actual deck.

Aside from the "they gets da br0ked" thing, I also have become quite aware over the years (has it been that long?) of the diadvantages of both the 'holo-set' and 'holo-ooooo' problems when dueling.

'holo-set': When your opponent sets a card and you know exactly what it is based on how much it's popping up from the table.

'holo-oooooo': When you know your opponent just drew that nice shiny card since they're wiggling it around under the light to experience the full effect of it's beauty.

I've both won because of (many times) and lost from (a few times until I learned) these disadvantages. They exist!

Goodness gracious! I thought for sure I was gonna get flamed for that. But with you agreeing with me, I can't!

Thanks for that tidbit of information. Going to a regionals in December, and it's things like that I can't afford to not know.

And to add one more thing to why you shouldn't use Holos in your deck: It defeats the whole purposes of Deckmasters, which is to sit next to you and be the rarest and most powerful card you own! (What? Surely I'm not the ONLY person to hold their 1/e AST The End of Anubis close to them while dueling!)

Never happens me, now that the restictions on card protectors are no longer in the policies beyond the marking issue I use really shiney and pretty ones, blind my opponent if he looks up from the tabletop. :p (Only joking obviously, at least about the blinding part.)
But seriously, if you keep them in good quality, clean card protectors the card drawn will shine regardless of whether or not the actual card itself is shiney, they can also help make it more difficult to determine if a card is a holo by how flat it sits upon the table.
 
No, there used to be a restriction regarding their pigmentation in that it had to be a block colour, i.e. a uniform colour, not varying (no images or, in the case of mine, holographic colouration).
