About that people dressing up as Holograms, did that include people dressing up as Injection Failry Lily? And if so, I pray there were gender restrictions.
 
No it is not that they were dressed up. It was just random person be my hologram and act it.

I'm really tire of all those no-brainer-pseudo-chaos descendant players I found every day.



I'm tire of people who will insult their opponents, if they try something funny or plain different.

This last weekend, I had one of those trashing my Reaper on the Nightmare's Deck, asking why I didn't build a wining deck.

All this after having halted his ability to attack for more than 20 turns with Spirit Barrier and Astral Barrier, he just couldn't realize that I was just play testing and having a lot of fun. I could very well add Lava golem, Wave-Motion Cannon, Raging Flame Sprite, etc, etc. but all that was simple out of the theme :biggrin_j

Thank you. More people like you need to exist in this game.
 
About the 3 month list: I think it's a good idea, but what about he cards on the restriction/banlist that aren't used at all or that are banned already?


BTW, I signed your petition as the first person on it ^_^
 
Well if we go by the basic japanese list then the idea would work best i think. Use that as a base and then simply alter it to correspond with the card usage from the last sjc at each 3 month interval. At the start of each interval we reset to the relevent japanese list and start again on the whole process of extra limitations. It would make for some good play alright.
 
While the idea of rotating cards on or off the ban-list based on usage at major tournaments is intriguing, I feel a 3-month rotation of the ban list is too short.

Besides, think about what you're doing. These cards would be instantly banned:
- Mystical Space Typhoon
- Call of the Haunted
- Premature Burial
- Heavy Storm
- Mirror Force
- Sangan
- Graceful Charity

Show me one deck that doesn't run all of those cards. I for one would like to keep using those.
 
I have decks that dont run any of those. Yes believe it or not i do. It would be nice to see people get around not having them.

I don't run Mirror Force, but that's because I don't have it ^_^ (i know a lot more people that have that problem).

Unless it's going to be in an English Structure Deck, most people will have that problem ^_^
 
That's why it would be constantly adjusted to match what is not getting played against what is. After a card gets Banned, you are forced to find something else to put in your arsenal of tricks. You'll most likely never get a overall "Cookie Cutter" because there isnt enough time for Net Deckers to see what works well enough to copy.

Of course, once Premature and Call are gone, people will move to cards like The Shallow Grave, Spear Cretin, The Creator, Book of Life, Soul Resurrection, etc... Some of these are seeing regular play already, but some could use some more visibility.

Breaker would be gone, Mobius as well. I dont even want to talk about Cyber Dragon, but guess what, Proto-Cyber Dragon will be on the rise as a weak replacement for some uses.

Don zaloog, gone. Spirit Reaper, buried. Would Gyroid take Reaper's place?

Only time would tell if people start weaning themselves from the power cards and back to the Lab's.....
 
yeah gyroid would see a hell of a lot more play if reaper died. Last tournament i went to a guy there forgot his deck in college and the place was closed that morning and he couldnt get his stuff so i let him use some of my cards to make a deck wth them. Really good burn deck with a lot of nice stuff thrown in but since i only had one reaper he took a couple of gyroids and used them. Ah gyroid the poor mans spirit reaper.

Heres some advice, don't play with scrubs, those are usually the bad mannered individuals, most upper players will probably just beat the deck in question and move on, they know they are good they don't have to bash the deck/player to affirm that.
 
lol. Just tell them that if you decided to build a more "winning" deck (make sure to use your fingers as quotations) that their feelings would just get hurt when they couldn't beat you. So you decided to have fun AND be nice all at the same time. :)
 
I do not even use Heavy Storm anymore. I use A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon. Sometimes I just swap out Call of the Haunted and use Rope of the Life (which is what I use most of the time over Call of the Haunted). Some cards I think should not be touched. I think what should be touched are cards like:

Dekoichi, Mobius, Return from the Different Dimension (seriously: I pay 25 LP and Special Summon all this _____ [insert word here]), Chaos Sorcerer, Spirit Reaper, etc.

I would agree to an extent. Some cards have transcended that game and become a part of various decks, which we all refer to as Staples.

Certain Staples are mostly limited to begin with, because of their effect.

Konami could also create a list of "Staples" that can be placed within a given deck, not to exceed a certain range. If you have Call of the Haunted, you cant have Premature Burial. If you have Lightning Vortex, you can't have Smashing Ground, etc...
 
That sounds like a Points system there, masterwoo0. 1 point per Semi-Limited card, 3 points per Limited card. You have a set number of points to allocate (you don't have to allocate them all, although people will certainly try). I remember suggesting such an idea a while ago somewhere, with not much response.

I don't play Magic (so I have no idea what I'm going on about here), but the way I see it the game automatically sets 5 (or however many elements there are) Decks as a part of the basic rules. Then there are sub-Decks within them, a few for each element, and then even E-Hybrid Decks. So there are automatically a bunch of good Decks to choose from, each of them worthy of serious play.

The problem with Yu-Gi-Oh! are that practically every card is stand-alone. They're splashable. I could play a straight Fiend Deck with Levia-Dragon - Daedalus if I so wanted. Perhaps a bad example, but it demonstrates my point. If you want a card, bang, it's in, no problem. Magic at least requires themed support for their cards, so of course they're not as splashable. And that's the problem.

We need more themed powerful cards. Get rid of practically the entire Limited list as it is now, and just create other cards with themed requirements. Easy. But perhaps not profitable, because those cards will always be seen as weaker counterparts to the originals (Lightning Vortex to Raigeki, par exemple), regardless of "brokenness". But that's not the point.

Scrap the current Set format. Get rid of it. A few random cards here and there, all thrown together into a 3-or-4-lettered bundle. Throw it away. Create themed Sets instead. Who's up for Dinosaur support from "Carnivorous Carnage", or Fairy help in "Sacred Alliance"? I know I am.

What I meant by the "Staples" is that some cards have benefit, versus "I gotta have this card!!!" Those cards should be protected from change either way, as they do not have as game changing effect when they are activated.

Mirror Force can change a game. Sakuretsu Armor can change the course of a turn, but not really change the game itself.

That's what I mean. Konami would protect a certain number of cards from being further limited based upon their "balance" to the game.
