Tickle Me Emo Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Okay if you dont know what the Gladiator Beast archtype is, you dont belong in this topic. Okay now this is kind of a discussion on the archtype as a whole, bu moreso on the fall of the dominance of the arena. Gladiators have continued to get more and more support as more packs came out, and yet they continue to fall out of the spotlight. People say the limit of Bestiari killed it but I dont think so, whats 1 less Bestiari? Most good Gladiator Beast players only played 2 Bestiari before it was limited anyway. However the speed of Gladiator Beasts mostly came from the stil-at-3 free tag known as Test Tiger. Gladiator Beasts dominated until Tele-DAD came out, and then dominated breifly again after TeleDAD left, using Monk along with tech such as Plaguespreader to keep up with the synchro abilities and kept their own dominance. So what has caused the decline in their dominance? What knocked them off the stage completely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmNateXero Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 They haven't gone anywhere. My associate Frazier Smith went 10-0 at Philadelphia Regional (the only undefeated deck) with glad beast. My guess, people just aren't doing it right.

Tickle Me Emo Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I didnt mean immediately Genzo. If you recall they took the spotlight when Samnite came out for a brief time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenzoTheHarpist Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Nope. Never won or even took that many top 16 spaces at any jump. Remember Samnite came out the same time DSF did, so people had a lot more to worry about than GBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PikaPerson01 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Limit Bestiari hurt it, being unable to tag into Gyzarus every other turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Sir Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Vayu+Oppression+Draw Engine=Bad Times for GBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaze. Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 They haven't gone anywhere. My guess' date=' people just aren't doing it right.[/quote'] This I know one person who runs glads, and he runs them good. Maybe it just takes a certain strategy to run them right...
