Captain Lawless Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 legal: being able to come out of nowhere, pay a minimal cost, and nuke the field.already banned: Things with little or no cost that generates extreme advantage (raigeki, HFD, CED, painful choice)or something that breaks the mechanics of the game, like Makyura exchange.

El-Rrey Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 It's a card that angers your opponent when out!!A card mostly angers you when used in a combo (like Gift Card + Bad Reaction to Simochi)!!JD is an exception, he is broken as he is!!

-Griffin Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 A card which disrupts the balance of the game to the point that it's inclusion in a player's hand, or other applicable zone, is likely to cause a victory, or condition which significantly increases that player's chance of victory, for that player in a majority of situations, or an easy enough situation to achieve that the player using the card is unlikely to have problems in consistently bringing it about. A card being broken can be a reason for it being ban-worthy, but it does not always mean it is ban-worthy (Example: Heavy Storm) and cards can be ban-worthy for other reasons, such as having an effect which brings about unfair conditions (example: Match winners).

Sunshine Jesse Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 My personal definition? Any card or combo that, if not countered or gotten rid of immediately (within one or two turns), loses you the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 The term "Broken" is used to refer to any card that is considered to be overpowered, giving the user of the card a significant advantage. The term is purely subjective. Many cards that are considered "Broken" are Forbidden, Limited or Semi-Limited in the Advanced Format, and some existing cards may have to wait before they can be considered broken; usually, this takes place during the release of newer cards, opening new strategies and Deck types to players. Also, some cards that are considered to be "broken" may only be so due to some kind of card combo that utilizes the card's effects to their maximum potential; sometimes, when used outside of that combo, said card may not fare as well as it would if it was in the combo. An example of this is Chimeratech Overdragon, who was considered to be broken due only to the Chimeratech OTK strategy.

Akira Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 A card which generates too much advantage in exchange for too low a cost or activation conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilfusion Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 I personally have defined "broken" as a card that gives the user WAY too much of an advantage for little to no real set-up and can be done with relative ease. It is absurdly subjective. Examples: Judgment Dragon (I'm inclined to believe Lightsworn decks w/ JD slowly sap the soul of the user until they care about nothing but winning, because I find playing and facing the deck to be ungodly boring and the only reason to keep using it is because it wins) DAD (Borderline, but I see why people want it gone) Brionac (Borderline, but it's so cheap...) There are cards that are theme specific that are questionably broken because of how incredibly abusable they are: Mezuki/Plague. One of those is a little too abusable. I'm undecided on which.

The true definition of broken: - physically and forcibly separated into pieces or cracked or split; "a broken mirror"; "a broken tooth"; "a broken leg"; "his neck is broken" - subdued or brought low in condition or status; "brought low"; "a broken man"; "his broken spirit" - (especially of promises or contracts) having been violated or disregarded; "broken (or unkept) promises"; "broken contracts" - tamed or trained to obey; "a horse broken to the saddle"; "this old nag is well broken in" - topographically very uneven; "broken terrain"; "rugged ground" - imperfectly spoken or written; "broken English" - thrown into a state of disarray or confusion; "troops fleeing in broken ranks"; "a confused mass of papers on the desk"; "the small disordered room"; "with everything so upset" - weakened and infirm; "broken health resulting from alcoholism" - destroyed financially; "the broken fortunes of the family" - out of working order (`busted' is an informal substitute for `broken'); "a broken washing machine"; "the coke machine is broken"; "the coke machine is busted" - lacking a part or parts; "a broken set of encyclopedia" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I know dun worry. My idea of broken: Providing an exponential advantage over your opponent at little to no cost which can easily be acheived. (pretty much the ban list) but I was jk before o___o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
