Toffee. Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Lets say they printed this as a Yugimonz card: [center][img]http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/06/BaseSet71ComputerSearch.jpg[/img] [quote] Discard 2 of the other cards from your hand in order to search your deck for any card and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. [/quote][/center] How would this effect the game? Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Well, unless they add more downsides to it, it'd be broken. Gold Sarcophagus costly searches for any card, but makes you wait two turns. That card is semi-limited presently. Pot of Duality lets you grab any card limited to the top 3 of the deck, but has restrictions on Special Summoning. Despite this, some people think it's banworthy. Infernities would LOVE to have this.

Sweetie Belle Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 inb4googlesues As a card, it's a -2. Infernity love ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleOnceCalledGod Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 The rotation system is just to force people to buy new cards. Its a brilliant money making strategy. Be glad Yugioh hasn't adopted this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They justify the rotation with something along the lines of "let us allow new players to have access to everything and not have to hunt down some rare, out of print card to play decently." Also, a smaller card pool is easier to balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catterjune Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 There are way too many cards in Yu-Gi-Oh that either: a) Are usable in the graveyard (Mezuki, Plaguespreader Zombie, Red Eyes Wyvern, Treeborn Frog, Necro Gardna, Spore, Dandylion, Glow Up Bulb, Vayu) b) Can use the things in the graveyard (Dark Armed Dragon, Monster Reborn, Blizzard the Far North, Debris Dragon) And way too many game changing cards (Dark Armed Dragon, Monster Reborn, Judgment Dragon, Mind Control) And I haven't played in a long time, and most of this is just off the top of my head. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
