Duels on College campus

[Masochistic Joker]

Like the title discuss duels that you've had at school and what they use and whatnot. Three guys in my class have been trying to "perfect" an evil hero deck, a elemental hero deck with no main goal, and a neo-spacian deck. The even sadder thing is that these guys are the kind that go by the duelist kingdom rules which is really pitiful. I've been running Sephiroth's build on Lightsworns and they still think lightsworns are easy to beat >_>
As said, discuss duels at college or in majority case, school.

I'm going to assume they have decks that are loaded with B& cards, use a lot of 1s, and just generally throw cards in at random that they think are "good".

Right?

The elemental hero user had Feather Wind @3 and ran teardrop as well. The neo spacian user tried contact fusing Bladedge with Wildheart. The evil hero user i've not dueled.

Go to locals. Problem solved.

i used to know someone who's younger sibling watched the anime and wanted to run the main characters deck, in this case yugi, his friend wanted to run Kaiba's deck and another person they know wanted to run a joey deck.

[Legend Zero]

I have to drive a ways for locals, but I don't know anybody else who plays in my city. =/

They sound like a friend of mine who thinks he knows everything about PC games, even if I show proof that he's wrong he won't sway.

At my college I know people who play Magic and Pokemon, but no yugioh.

[Mehmani]

My school has a brilliant metagame with some surprisingly good decks:

40% 60CTH
10% Hopeless/Disaster Dragon
10% Exodia
10% Speed Synchro
10% Zombies
10% Machina
10% Endymion
10% Burn

Census accurate as of last week. 10% = 1 person (I play Budget Zombies).

Excluding all the 60CTH builds, everyone I've faced is at least decent. The Burn build was quite consistent and was lethal in a metagame where it was rare to win in 10 turns, Speed Synchro was very inconsistent but could kill in three turns, Exodia only ever lost two duels (both to me, thanks to siding Card Destruction & MJ [Michael Jackson Trolljar] in), Machina was a mediocre Machina build but decent and the Endymion build only ever played a couple of duels but won both convincingly.

My Zombies are terrible (you can see an older build of mine [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/231298-not-actually-locals-but-this-is-a-tournament-report/"]here[/url]) but they get me by well enough. I'm probably the best player in my school (though that isn't saying much), so that helps compensate for my terrible deck.

right because young players who want to be involved in the game are bad for konami's bottom line - right - have fun playing bakugan after you smash a few more young player's spirits

anyone who sees this attitude be exhibited towards new players needs to crush it immediately. please repond and tell me you actually helped them and donated cards and told them the basics of competitive dueling instead of just blasting them with cheap roadkill wins

i'm sorry I just have no tolerance for stupidity like this. If you offend new duelists then you are slowly killing the next generation of players. Keep cutting your own legs off like this yugioh and you'll have no game to play.

on a side note: cool! I haven't been trolled this nicely in ages - I am approve

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

I like newer players, it's always fun to see kids raeg when their Jaden decks loose to an Evil Hero deck. "Good always trumps evil!"

[HaouJudai]

could we post some decent evil hero builds on this topic so 'masochistic' (wow there's your problem lolz) can help those poor souls out? I usually center my builds around the big 3 fusions

Lightning Golem
Malicious Fiend
Dark Gaia

and the Omni Heroes

Shining
Zero
Gaia

So you end up with this:

1 Clayman
1 Sparkman
1 Stratos
1 Ocean
1 BP Golem
1 Honest
1 Veiler
1 Gorz
2 Prisma
2 KoTs
2 Malicious Edge
2 Cyber Dragon
3 Neos Alius

3 Dark Calling
3 Miracle Fusion
3 Gold Sarc/POD
1 Future Fusion
1 Poly
1 Super Poly (thank you shining!!)
2 Mst
1 Dark Hole
1 Reborn
1 Book of Moon
2 Forbidden Lance

3 Decree

3 Absolute Zero
3 Shining
2 Lightning Golem
1 Malicious Fiend
1 Gaia
1 Dark Gaia
1 Terra Firma
1 Multipiece Golem
1 Cyber Twin
1 Chimertech Fortress

Use Prisma here to mill a lot - remember he can also become cyber dragon for a quick poly of cyber twin - or if you're facing machina - change his name to cyber and suck them up with fortress' built in super poly (mwah haha) - prisma can also send ocean for zero and bp golem for either gaia or dark gaia and he can send malicious edge too - edge is an earth (NOT A DARK!) so it's build a yard workshop pretty much.

Gorz can get stuck behind the decrees sometimes - you could put a caius there easily -

oh and tell them to side 2 more super poly for maso's LS deck - the LS make awesome E Hero Shinings I hear

[Tourmaline]

Always play at school with my friends. We actually have quite a few people who play every, every day.

My friends run:
-Genex Synchro (Not that good)
-Naturia
-Aqua Beatdown/Neo-Daedalus hybrid that somehow works
-Amazoness
-E-Heroes
-Cloudians (It isn't really complete)

While I run Chaos, so it's a bit obvious that I'm the best there.

I don't wanna go to my locals because it's 50% X-Sabers, 25% Six-Sams and 25% other stuff.

[White Void]

My college friends recently got back into the game and as I was the only one who knew what the hell I was doing, they often asked me for advice and stuff. Eventually I got them away from playing random 40 card Highlander, FIRE.dek, Black Luster Gadgets (which was amusing honestly), random Spellcaster, and Dark Blade.dek to stuff like Blackwings, Gravekeepers, Zombies, and Aliens. Big improvement, they actually argue about advanced rulings and follow the banlist now. I'm so proud ;_;

I'm running Machina Gadget (going to change to Exceed Gadget which admittingly doesn't change the deck all that much besides 5 or so cards) at the moment so the match-ups are usually pretty good these days

[-Berserker-]

It was at Univ that I discovered that the game is actually played IRL in my country. Most people I play with are adults and some are even married...

that so reminds me of King crouton's epic post, in the Shining topic

[Zauls]

Well at my school, there are only a few people that play. The decks are:

1x Frognarchs (me, but I lend it to my friend when we duel because she is too poor to afford a good deck. Even Machinas is too expensive for her)
1x Burn (iHop)
1x Infernity (me)
1x Gravekeepers (without Recruiter or Royal Tribute XD)
many 60CTH kids...

So obv it's me and iHop that are the best.

There is also one guy who is fairly good, but he's in 6th form and doesn't want to be seen dead with some kids playing children's card games...

[Abe - Demonic Sammich Guy]

1x Ojama (good deck but lacks king and other searchers)
1x Gravekeeper fiends with aqua chourus
1x stall burn beatdown cookie cutter (me) I often borrow people's deks
1x D-heroes
1x Chaos
1x Machina Gagets
1x stall life point gainage
1x saberz
1x defencive synchros
1x A legendary ocean
1x crappy machines (that I made out of someone else's cards)
1xwarriors
1x blueyes deck
1x morphtronics
1x beatdown
1x cookie cutter ally of justice blackwing amazoness
1x plain old cookie cutter with machinas and other shiz
1x cookie cutter monarchs
1x plant insect
my friend may make s malefic deck

[Father Wolf]

my lolocals is actually only a 15min bus ride. I haven't actually played YGO in school (minus Wc10 when im waiting for the bus or im waiting for photos to dry or my teacher to grade a design and im taking a smoke break) since like Sophomore year in high school. Though a lot of people from my locals do go to my college.

[Shizuku Oikawa]

I'm in a school with two lunch periods.

The first one, has loads of epic meta players with a couple of fails.
Second one, everybody, but one (best in school. Though, probably not anymore), are only less than decent at the game.

Sadly, I'm in the second lunch period. And the best duelist doesn't even Duel during lunch, because he just spends the entire period hanging out with his girlfriend. I don't really talk to him anyways. Since he believes in false information. I once told him about the New Six Sams, and I said, "You don't even need any of the old ones, except Grandmaster", and he says, "Yea, you do. Because all the new ones are Level 5 and higher". And he said that monsters with ? ATK and DEF can be searched by cards like Sangan.
Oh, and the worst part, is when I was up against his Naturia GigaVise, when I chained Seven Tools of the Bandit to his Solemn Judgment, and he says, "You can't do that. Solemn is faster and has a higher Spell Speed than Seven Tools."
"How? They're both Spell Speed 3, and Counter Traps."
"Unless Seven Tools said "Negate the activation of a Trap Card [b]that targets a card you control[/b]", then it would work. The only thing that's fast as Solemn is Dark Bribe and (pretty much forgot what other card he said, so yea)."


Though, one of my friends from the first lunch period, said that he traded his Glad Beasts for New Six Sams. Though, he doesn't believe me when I told him that he is supposed less than 15 monsters.

All right, here is a possible list, from what I keep hearing people are running.

[u][b]The Players of the First Lunch Period[/b][/u]
1 with Worms and Quickdraw Dandy Warrior (lol, he keeps asking for my Chevalier). It's funny, because he sometimes skips a period to my lunch period, by telling his teacher he has diarrhea the next day.
1 with Gravekeeper's and Naturia/same as above, but doesn't tell how me he manages to skip that period.
1 with Normal Six Sams, with couple of New Sams and Shien, because he couldn't get money for the pack, and got them by trade.
1 with New Six Sams, and Hopeless Dragon.
There's more people, but I don't know them, so yea.

[u][b]People of my Lunch[/b][/u]
The best duelist, I'm not so sure of. Been forever since I played him.
1 with Beasts, who keeps telling me, "You should die", because he thinks it's funny. He also has no Synchros.
1 with a decent E-Hero Deck, but is inconsistent because it has 60 cards. And has, but doesn't run, or wanna trade Solemn Warning. Also, only has Gaia for generic EHero Fusion.

The absolute worst one of all. Is. God, I'll even quote one of our talks.
Me: Your Deck is horrible, what kind of Deck is that supposed to be?
Guy: It's my Ritual Deck.
Me: How? No Ritual searchers, no Advanced Ritual Art thing, no Djinns, its just a random Deck with Demise, Black Luster Soldier, and Relinquished, and you're using their actual Ritual Spells.

And to him, a "good" opening hand for him, is, drawing 5 Spell/Traps, and Swift Gaia. Obvious first move is obvious.
He's lucky that Heavy Storm is banned. Also, he trades a $20+(I believe) Mist Wurm from Hidden Arsenal, for a Malefic World, Blue-Eyes, and Malefic Blue-Eyes from the guy with the Naturia/Worms. Also, when he said he wanted to make a Yugi Deck, and we explained how much it would suck, he says "I'm only making it just as a collection set".
There's alot more about this guy, but I don't wanna talk about this guy behind his back that badly.

[Brandon Michael Geren]

My school's yugioh is:
5 randies
1 gladiator beast/batteryman/dragunity/empty jar/flamvell/machina (me)
1 blackwing, netdecked from kiryu's most recent topic but bad players cant win with bad decks
1 morphtronic
1 randy/bad macro monarch

guess who wins.

[wiithepeople]

I'm the only duelist in the school. Nuff said.

This Is because there's about 500 some farmer people, and about 25 tards/aspies (I fall in this category). The only other person I knew in the school played, of all things Quillbolt Loop. He was lucky on a daily basis. With the luck he had, I'm surprised he didn't move to Vegas or try to top a YCS. He's not much of a people person I guess. Just like me.

lol

well you guys have turned the tone for the better - thanks for that - my point is that yes they are pw'n-worthy n00bs BUT they are buying konami's crap - for god's sakes don't discourage them from doing that! The more they buy the better it is for all of us.

the first thing any of you should do - regardless of your social skills - is give them jank commons and encourage them to continue playing - I mean do you seriously think you'd ever lose to them? Focus instead on what konami does best - trolling for money

my message is that sitting down and blasting them FTK with malefic cyber end only makes them mad and makes them want to rage quit. I don't care what anyone says - every rage quit hurts this community -

well - TRUE rage quitting - most just say that and take a break for awhile and come right back - gambling is an addiction don't ya know?

(yes - yugioh is gambling - another topic though lolz)

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

I only have my one friend to duel with, which is why I really want to go to locals. But he's being lazy about it.

[shadowferret]

A lot of the people who play at my school are the same guys who I played during High School, so... yeah.

Fredo runs an 86-card Elemental Hero/Neo Spacian deck that's inconsistent but can make cool plays, as well as a Fusion Gate Hero build with Chain Material and Macro Cosmos that he uses to enter tournaments (and does well with).
George runs an X-Saber deck that's starting to become pretty good, a semi-decent Blackwing deck, and a deck I built for him that's built to summon Shooting Star Dragon/Majestic Star Dragon a lot.
Bryant uses Lightsworns, FIRE, and Genex... possibly the worst player of us.
James runs an old Crystal Beast deck, a Spellcaster deck, and a Trap Monster deck, but his Main is Six Samurai. He keeps bragging about the time he got 12th in Regionals with the Six Sam deck. >.>
Then there's my girlfriend Marie who uses Fortune Ladies and Fabled, but she only plays for fun so she won't let me build her deck to be faster and stronger. ._.
And then me, I run Infernity and Burn.

After all that, there's random people at school, one who has an Infernity deck with Ccapac Apu in it, one who uses an Earthbound Immortal deck, and another that uses Plants.

[.Nu-13]

My school has better duelists than my nearest locals... My school meta consists of (20 people):

6 stuff I don't remember
3 GOOD 60CTH
3 Karakuri (1 of them is me)
2 Sabers
1 Zombies
1 Machina
1 Samurais
1 Shapenatch.dek
1 Batterymen
1 Watts
