RFG (based on Paul Levitin's SJC Los Angeles deck)

I gotta say, I'm furious. I've had a hybrid of Bazoo/rftdd and Inferno Tempest/rftdd and roadkill (nimbles, bubonics, and rats) running for 8 months. And now suddenly I'm not in the least unique.

Oh well, lamenting aside, we've got work to do.

If it was me, I'd lose the whole tomato control concept for a rat control. LJM and nimbles make for excellent rat tails. Hehe, I made a funny. Milus Radiants and the like. Swarm them all with an army of roadkill. What's that, you say? Dark Hole/Lightning Vortex? Why thank you for the bazoo food.

Truthfully this is one aspect of the game that bascially disgusts me. This has been a viable deck that everyone has over looked for top tier play for months. Then some guy comes along, he builds it, wins with it. Now everyone says "O man I could build that too, what a awsome idea". It's basically just the deck of the week. Last week someone won with Tomato Control, everyone built that. This week it's this RFG deck, which would seem a simple side deck of Royal Decree, Royal Oppression, and a Bottomless Traphole, which I will say these three cards are always in my Sidedeck, would put a damper on the whole theme of the deck. I am not saying this deck isn't a good deck, what I am saying is it's been a viable deck before Paul and his team "created" and ran it. Many of people I know are beginning to quit Yu-gi for Vs. simply for the creativity and originality of deck ideas. Hopefully one day Yu-gi can figure out a way to have more then 3 deck ideas. While I'm happy that Paul and his team got creative and built a non "mainstream" deck, I find it very frustrating when people go and "Netdeck" there decks, for this I am against Metagame.com publishing Deck Lists from Tournaments.


As for helping you with the deck, I would drop a Smashing Ground for a Nobleman of Extermination. Your going to have alot of monsters to take out your opponents field, plus since you like to look over the current meta, Sakeretu's and Widespreads are basically the main traps to everyones decks. Hitting one of those and dropping them all out of your opponents deck would put you at a steady advantage. Of course a few people I know have been playing it since the new ban list became effective, and only now has metgame.com said that it was a "good" card.
 
I see your point, Fiction. I just threw out the idea for other people to get ideas on how they could take that deck and put a new spin on it. Now, I'm no MTG player, but I can tell you that I posted this deck for the Johnny/Spike people. I'm one, myself. Yes, I normally run a burn deck, but I love winning more than almost anything else.

However, Fiction, you've gotta admit: a few dominant deck-types is better than just one, right?

Amen!! Couldn't have said it better. I've been thinking of running a Dark World hybrid deck to my next regional, (not Dec. 10th though) and it should prove to be rather unique, interesting, and above all, have the power of originality to make it win.

It's very possible to make a deck that's super competitive and yet very original. Sometimes, we just want to use something that works. I mean, look at my deck, it has some different aspects to it that the regular "mainstream" deck has (which Fiction called them) and that's what makes it a very interesting idea. Don't remember if anyone that got Top 8 at the LA SJC used it, but I could care less if they did, my deck needed some speed and field presense.

Netdecking Paul's deck is pointless. Like Fiction said, people will be siding against it and the tactics that were involved in it. BTH simply owns it. Royal Decree simply owns it. Solemn Judgment and Royal Decree own it too.

However, I don't approve of 100% netdecking another person's deck. I do approve of merely getting ideas from them. After all, that's how ideas spread and deck concepts become popular.
