Welche the crab Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 [img]http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/11976/1689152-hipsters_hipsters_everywhere_super.jpg[/img] Everyone here in a nutshell: I try to be original and competitive. What that really means: I don't actually think about the meta when picking a deck, I think about what will make me seem cool. I then try to make the deck competitive but my deck really isn't a meta call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoseSymphony Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 To be completely honest, originality is everything to me, and whether or not the Deck is competitive is completely irrelevant. If the Deck happens to be good, then wonderful. Even though I'm trying to make Wind-Ups at the moment, I would rather DIE than make one of those stupid FTK decks. I'm going to make a Wind-Up Deck that's good but has my own original flair. I'm the guy at my locals who pretty much only plays Plants, and I have done so many variations of the same Deck that I'm known as "the Plant guy". Fallen Angel of Roses + Divine Wind anyone? I've even dared to bring a Cyber Girl deck to my locals. Yes, [i]Cyber Girls[/i]. But that's because I play what I want to play, and if I win with it, fantastic. I play for fun, while trying to make my Deck as good as I can in the process. So yeah, originality ranks way higher in my mind than competitiveness. But then again, that makes me a painfully average duelist. D: It's hard to be both original and competitive, which is kind of stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I don't give a damn about being cool and I don't pick decks based on anything other than what I enjoy. I mean, I run a number of decks, but my main deck is Fableds, which I try to improve constantly, to find some way to make it consistent enough. Sure, my deck isn't a meta deck, I'm just trying to perfect it and win without using My favorite deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Jesse Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 You shouldn't focus on originality if you're playing to win. People who get mad when they lose with bad.dek against something actually decent piss me off so much. that being said, I don't play on a competitive level that much so I just make horrible niche decks to play against my horrible friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeal Ascendant Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 [quote name='Koloktos' timestamp='1326562186' post='5764030'] Like what Black said, I try to be as competive and original as possible. Exactly how many people would tech Deep-Sea Diva in Gishkis anyways? [/quote] I play Diva at 3 in gishkis, and a lost blue breaker as well ._.

Solemn Silver Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I know mike jarrold And I think paul goes to my locals as well When I first started, my best friend would always make fun of me for wanting to make lghtsworns. He said top tier was stupid and losers play tier decks. He sure learned alot xD And you can't be original with a game that prints out ARCHTYPES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've been an off-day for everyone. :V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
