lightswornGENEX Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 as the title suggests...i have no clue what they are, other then some sort of deck terminology of some sort. i have seen those words thrown around a lot and so i was wondering what they are and if they play any significance towards making a deck. i also want to know if there are other terms besides meta and anti meta.

mido9 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Metagame refers to the deck in current competitive use that are having the greatest success in the professional play scene. Specifically, when players talk about the metagame (or 'meta', for short), they talk about which Deck styles and strategies are the most dominant in their area of play. Typically, as metagame decks become more common,Anti-Meta decks appear in order to counter them. The current most common Anti-Meta deck is Dino rabbit. Anti-Meta decks are generally not very versatile, so while they may be strong against one type of meta deck, they may also be much weaker against another type of meta deck. From der wikia .

Agro Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Wait... the best Meta deck is now anti-meta? What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I would think the best Anti-Meta Deck right now would be Chain Burn. Anything with Rabbit in it right now is considered meta. Also, anything with Dark Worlds, Rabbit, Inzektors, Wind-Ups, and anything else in that category also is the defined metagame right now.

Also, someone said Dragunity... TCG Tier 1: Dino Rabbit Inzektors Wind-Ups Dark Worlds TCG Tier 2: HEROs Something else with Skill Drain LuckSacker Dragons (I guess) I'm probably forgetting something/misplacing something, but that's the jist of it.

Monsieur Madeleine Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Anything that can steal momentum right now is a good anti meta deck. HEROs do this with cards like Gemini Spark and Hero Blast, and typically walls such as absolute zero and the shining. I see potential in Gadgets after the set with the geargia cards, mostly due to their amazing synergy with card car d, as well as overall focus on a simplified game state. Though HEROs work their best when the game is simplified, making gadgets less viable, the ability to get more card advantage, and potential explosion with ultimate offering, gives a very big advantage over HEROs as an anti-meta deck. True, skill drain does increase the speed of a simplified game state, it does not however contribute directly to the destabilization of resources, I.E. DW still grapha, dino rabbit still plays backrow and can use rabbit, and techs are mostly functionable. Removal cards like pwwb then seem to be a better choice, as they can potentially destroy major combos while also removing threats directly, not supressing them.

Canadian Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 How are heroes not tier 1? Oh and just because a deck can run Anti-Meta cards does not make it anti-meta. Thats like saying Inzektors are anti-meta because they can run rivalry of warlords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
