DARKPLANT RISING Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 So I was at my locals the other day, using some random Agent build my friend lent me because I felt like it. I have an Agent Earth, opp has a monster. He attacks. "Damage step OK?" I say. "Wait, before that. Activate Mind Crush: I declare Honest." "Yeah, I don't have one." He loses his BLS.

Solemn Silver Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Another word for bluffing, for the most part. Always fun to see the look on their face when they heavy a mind control and a terraforming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Account is Unplayable Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Trag is far less of a useful mind-game than Gorz. Especially when Gorz will actually stop your opponent from attacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesfopresident Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 "Going to use priority in your draw phase?" They mst thinking they will be at 3 cards in hand and hit my Dustshoot, then i chain Scape Goats. Or They summon something you have a dead set say "got to think" they think your set is TT, Warning, or Solemn. There are obv much more but those are just some I do alot. I toped a regionals bluffing a Prison when my set was Dark Hole. He doesnt attack cuz if he does and Prison prison he loses. But if he attacked he would of won. I flip Dark Hole summon monster win game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zauls Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Was at locals and a guy (who happens to be UK Nats winner) had a Rai-Oh and opp had Honest. He attacked with Rai-Oh and said "I've got Honest" when he didn't. He bluffed it out until Utopia didn't have any materials left. Good players play mind games.

Synchronized Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 See I'm not sure on that. Because if you tell me you have Honest, I'd more than likely wait for you to actually use it. Why would you tell me you had it instead of just waiting until I attacked to catch me with the element of surprise? There's no point in saying "Oh, yeah, I've got Honest in hand, don't attack", because if your opponent attacks and you drop Honest, you're still safe (at least until the end of the turn). I personally think one of the most interesting ones is Shi En, and SixSams players. Because Shi En can negate a Spell/Trap, you have to sort of make your opponent think you [i]want[/i] them to negate your meaningless Spells/Traps, and they won't. I've done this with Dark World Dealings, discarded Grapha, destroyed Shi En, and moved on from there. They might think you're waiting it out. It's one of the best ways to actually topple the SixSams. Gorz is another one. To sort of make your first play, do nothing, simply end, and then bait your opponent into thinking you have it to buy time. Then again, that won't always work and it could backfire completely, so you have to know when you pick your spots, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadenxAtemYAOI Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 3 Chain Energy and 2 Toll(it was an experimental idea at today's locals) My opponent used Six Sams. Didn't know whether to attack or not. He ended up making the bad choice and getting his double shi-en tributed for Golem and losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
