So YCM. let's talk themes


Recommended Posts

A Theme Deck is any Deck whose cards follow a specific pattern, be it one that has mostly monsters from a single Type, or Attribute, to those whose cards are part of a greater whole, like a Deck based around "Gate Guardian".

What does this mean to you exactly? What theme is your favorite? Which theme do you think is the strongest right now?

Yeah, i know. blackwings, Magicians, heroes, etc. The best ones are the blackwings and lightsworns, right?

To me, a theme is a strategy or goal that one focuses on to acheive victory. The deck's focus on fulfilling this theme or victory condition makes the cards more synergetic and thus will be able to fulfill the goal faster.

 

I'm reminded of the "Theme Duels" in some of the WC games, where you had to build your deck to accomplish a particular feat as quickly as possible and then win. The more focused your deck was on the theme, the faster it could be accomplished with material to win.

 

Right now, a good number of archetypes are considered a theme, such as Blackwings and Lightsworn, where they have swarm and JD as their essential objectives.
