Is Flip-Flop Control Really Dead?

[Tiso]

I'm sure many would not like to be on the receiving end of that scenario. If this is what the format degenerates to, then my playing days will soon be over.

That has what the game has been about for a long time now. Why you think people used Dekothingy Train? I stopped playing the game awhile ago until Konami gives me a reason to play again. That will happen when 5 cards get created, and at least 1-3 cards from the OCG comes here as well.

wow... all this discussion on this matter, and not a mention of Mid Shield Gardna

cards to make an effective flip flop with...
Royal Keeper
Mid Shield Gardna
Big Shield Gardna
Swarm of Scarabs
Swarm of Locusts
Guardian Sphinx
Golem Sentry ( sphinx Junior )
and dont forget the one that lets you rearrange all face down monsters on your side of the field.... Wandering Mummy
helpers.....
Stealth Bird
Giant Axe Mummy
Tsukuyomi


now think on.. what kind of support do you need..

well for starters.. some flip flop style recursion and support

Shallow Grave ( a necessity in my opinion )
Premature Burial
Call of the Haunted.. (flip it down, and then Giant Trunade call back to hand to use it again)
Desert Sunlight... very useful, just in case you get stuck in atk mode
Spirit Reaper ( combo it with Guardian Sphinx, and you will see what i mean)


now just tech in Magician of Faith, and Messenger of Peace and Swords of Revealing Light to help get spells back, and bind them up a bit...

GREAT TECH FOR THIS DECK... Needle Ceiling .. dont underestimate this card in this deck.. IMO.. perfect for this deck .. flip your stuff down, and when its their turn, clear THEIR FIELD... heck ya

Lastly... dont forget these guys all need some protection... Hieracosphinx ( good attack, and protection...)

Flip-Flop STARTED in last april first format when there was 2 Nobleman of Crossout. last april first format is when people STARTED abusing flip monsters and using tsukoyomi.

any attempt to point to 2 Nobleman of Crossouts and saying flip-flop is dead is invalidated by this fact.

Personally, I think they semi limited nobleman again because the format ENCOURAGES flip-flop and they don't want it be the only option ,they want a balance. Same goes for semi on the deck dev virus.

No one I know is running only 1 Nobleman of Crossout. 2 is staple, I would run 3 if UDE let me.
