I don't know what it is about my freinds. They are certainly the most generous people I know, as I wouldn't have a lot of the cards I have it weren't for them. But they still don't get it.

I'm going to my first PCQ in Duhram this weekend. Really, and not many of you may know this, but this is the first major event I will have participated in since I began playing TCGs. And, yes, I'm running what I want to run. What I feeel like running. What I'm comfortable running.

But my freinds still have a hard time grasping that. They still don't get that I don't care how well I do overall. That I would rather do badly playing Darkseid's Elite or League of Assassins then do well playing GLEE. Simply because, I didn't invent or create GLEE.

GLEE is a netdeck, plain and simple. I don't care what you've teched into it, if it already has a name, it's a netdeck. And I haven't exactly kept my personal abhorance of netdecking a secret, to you or to my freinds. Yet there are still issues with them when I run what I want the way I want it. Not sure why. But it's there. It's like a joke between them and I'm the butt of it.

But you know what? I'm going to run what I want the way I want it anyway. I don't care how well I do. It's my money to fritter away any way I see fit. And I see fit to do it with the deck and build of my choosing. I don't care if I go 0 and whatever. As long as I went that way, my way. I'll have no one to blame, or commend, but myself.
 
I agree with you on that to some extent. I am all for running a deck that is fun and I built. It doesn't matter what the final record is as long as the deck did well. As for a deck being a netdeck because it has a name is where we part ways. Those little tech cards you put into a deck makes it your build and seperates it from the rest. Right now VS is a wide open game with about 10 or more decks being able to win a tournament. There is no dominate deck type in the game at the moment.

I have 3 decks that i run right now and all of them have a pesonal touch in them. Granted one deck may only be 2-3 cards and another 5 -7 but the 3rd is a new build. I was hoping to play it at the PCQ but have other things that come first and won't be there. Also one of the better things about this game is the sealed format where deckbuilding is as important as playing skill. I wished they would hold them seperate so we didn't have to choose between formats.
 
DJ, I look forward to meeting you there. I'll be working the floor for the YGO event, I'm sure they'll introduce me as part of the staff when the YGO regional starts so just listen out for my name and me waving my hand... but I'm not that hard to miss. Just look for a guy with a goatee and glasses and that's me. Oh and I need a haircut too and it shows...

We should really have a COG get together, I swear....
 
That sounds good. Who else is going to be there? I'll be the only guy on fire carrying a Light Saber. :p
 
No going its a bit too far, but who ever is going if you could take notes as you play as to what was going on in the tournament what you were running and so fourth and make a little tournament report for the forums that would kick butt....

Anyways, I agree run what you are comfortable running, I went with my ORIGINAL league of Fantastic Fun deck, even though everyone I went with told me to run Titans so that I could win. I still teched in cards for the current meta because I wanted to prove my friends wrong and show them that the deck has potential to become a contender.
 
There is a distinct possibility that I'm going to need Have a Blasts for this trip. Possibly two. ANyone going that could let me borrow some. I might be able to get them from freinds this week, but it's ify. Let me know. I'll sign a contract. :D

Damn straight. That's exactly how I feel about YuGiOh.
 
At the last minute late Saturday night, some things came up that prevented me from going. My friends went, but I had to cancel at about 12:000 that night. The 28th of this month is lookning good, though. The one in Columbia. I should be able to attend that one with no trouble. I'll know ahead of time this time if any probs arise.
 
I don't think there is anything wrong with netdecking.... I believe netdecking can be a tool for newer players to better understand the game and they get to see what creative ideas other ppl can up with. With the decks on the net setting the bar. ppl can make new crazy decks that can beat. Plus is ppl didn't net deck ... i wouldn't know how to beat them.. there weaknesses can be studied!!!!! lol
 
I didn't mean to imply that it was a bad thing. I meant to imply that it was a bad thing to me. I do believe, though, that if everone continues to net deck, that I will continue to construct my deck around beating them all as opposed to just one. ;)
