No, they aren't ._.

where is the skill?

fableds are extremely linear. the only choice you need to make is summoning the right synchro monster which really isn't that difficult.

Autopilot pretty much means that the deck can perform a lot of moves and plays without much "thought" behind it, or that the deck's combos are so consistent and easy to do that pretty much anyone, regardless of skill, will be able to replicate it in games with only the mildest of variations.
An example was definitely Six Sams last format, where first turn Shi En was absurdly easy and consistent, and bringing it out was pretty much game winning.

Would Inzektors be considered autopilot?

You have to know what to discard and when. Make one wrong move and the entire thing is screwed, and there's no one play for them. Sometimes certain moves look better when they're actually the wrong move, and you have to think on which leads further. IE, Cerburrel and Ganashia in hand, Kushano in grave. Depends on the set up of the field/grave/hand. Synchro choosing isn't so difficult, as you said.

The cards in hand at the time determine the move. Linear, yes, autopilot, no.

Inzecters are autopilot and I don't care.

Do you really need to ask that? [color=#ffffff]Of course it is[/color]

Yes, I do.
I don't think they're autopilot.

Because being able to interact with your opponent irl gives you more potential to make game winning mind games o_o

As for Inzektors, they are generally autopilot, but the skill comes in when you play so you can resolve an inzektor normal summon and bait out warnings/veilers, as well as getting your combos set up when they're not so obvious.

Once I told my friend "Its not Mirror Force or Sangan." because we were on DN. I bombed his field with MF and game'd him with Sangan.

Fableds aren't autopilot, Rabbit is. Chaos/Verz Rabbit is still autopilot. Inzektors are all autopilot once you summo out Damsel.

I don't understand that first part, but thanks for supporting me for the second part...somewhat...
My Inzektor build on DN tends to give me what I don't need, and it's mainly a waiting game to get out Dragonfly and/or Centipede.
I can easily put Hornet in my Graveyard.

Common bluff: thank you for MSTing my set Terraforming. Don't you look stupid?

Also, I'd think the best mind game has to be in between Games 1 and 2. If you're playing an unconventional deck and manage to only play cards that make your Opponent think your deck is conventional, then you can make them side for the conventional deck rather than the unconventional one.

knowing what to discard and when isn't exactly that difficult to do. just because you have to think your moves through doesn't mean the deck isn't autopilot.

Also, the worst way to lose a game is trying to bluff an opponent who isn't that good and doesn't think their moves through as much as they should >_>

You don't get this thing called "sarcasm" do you?

Regardless, why would I waste my time dueling you?

*rubs bridge of nose in frustration*
1. Why would you be sarcastic?
2. Why was that sarcastic?
3. What called for the random sarcasm?
4. Who said anything about dueling?

You asked if I had DN, guess what's naturally implied?

The context was MY DECK ON DUELING NETWORK!!!
I was asking to see if you could help me, because, OBVIOUSLY, you know SO much about how do build a proper deck, as, according to you:

If your deck gives you cards you don't need, something went wrong with your build.

And, finally, WHY DOES IT SEEM LIKE EVERYONE IN THIS TCG SECTION IS A TOTAL JERK?!?!?

... It's not difficult to someone who plays them, but hand the deck to someone that doesn't play them, and they'll be beyond lost. It also depends on the extra, and why you should do it. In my case, Invoker. If I have Ganashia and Cerb in hand with a Kusha in grave, I'm probably going to discard Ganashia, go Invoker after NSing Kushano, then grab one of the targets, return Kusha to hand, drop Cerb, go into Hyunlei/Brio/BRD/whatever. On the other hand, I could go Ragin and draw 1, or 2 if my Librarian is out, to take a gamble. It depends on the situation you're in, and what you've drawn into.

Autopilot implies the move is simple and the same stale thing over and over. It's not autopilot, just linear.

Wait, why would I help someone like you?

Because they are, for the most part?

You mean like how your Merchant builds always give you the spell without milling anything?
[/quote]

That's not meant to be consistent, it's meant to be a fun non-meta deck, silly Meta. :3

Because I was going to ask you nicely until you decided to be all egotistical towards me! But I guess not, so I will ask:
WHY ARE YOU AND MOST OF THE OTHERS JERKS?!?
Why does it seem like the only person on this section of this forum who has a kind bone in their bodies is evilfusion?!?
WHY DO YOU FRUSTRATE ME SO MUCH?!?!?
