itt: we disregard all staples [Custom Format]

[Mysty]

I've got a better idea. Mainly just copy-pasting your rules, but with a modification.

Rules:

1. Choose an archetype, Attribute, or type. All the monsters in the deck and Extra Deck must be of that quality or supportive of that quality, and all the spells and traps in the deck must contain either the archetype's name (if archetype is chosen) or support the quality chosen.

Example: An "Inzektor" deck can only include Monsters, Spells, and/or Traps that include "Inzektor" in the name or effect. You could choose Insects and run an Inzektor deck, but then lose your ability to use Inzektor support cards and instead can only use Insect support cards. Similarly, you could choose DARK and run Inzektors, in which case you get DARK support instead of Inzektor support.

2. There can be certain exceptions to this rule, but not many

Example: Super Polymerization may be used in Elemental HERO decks
Example: Effect Veiler may or may not be universally usable (TBD)

3. This format follows its own banlist, which is to be determined.

This allows non-generic cards yet not archetype cards to be used and disallows staples, while keeping the rules super-simple. Otherwise this format is really just an archetype format and not really "custom" at all.

problem, the spellcounter spellcasters can't be used really, even though they all support each other.

That looks fine. Certainly looks a lot more fun than just archetypes.

YCM seems to be fixated on everything possible being usable in a custom format, which isn't really a good basis for a format at all.

People seem more focused on making this an actual "custom" format.

Can the "Banisher of " cards be considered part of the Different Dimension Archetype? The deck would need some help as Macro Cosmos would possibly be in a separate deck with those weird Helios gals.

[Althemia]

So are Dark Worlds good in this format or what? They seem to have enough support for it, so...

[Mysty]

They lose like, what, Morphing Jar, Dark Deal, and/or Skill Drain? Dark Worlds still sound pretty good if you ask me.

Lookie here guys, king of games up in this b****!

[-Doodle]

I don't see the problem with spell counter decks, they are really fun IMO. Although, more support would have been nice :S
OT:
the idea sounds good. I think you should make it archtype exclusive if so-do it more of a "concept" deck (either stuff like banishment, spell counters and such, or archetype, type\attribute).

A lot of people seem to miss the point of this format.

When Konami creates an archetype, a lot of cards in the archetype are mediocre support cards that are outclassed by staples.

The format puts decks against each other with them relying on that mediocre support and seeing if a player can make the best use of it.

Support for types, attributes, etc seem unfitting for this format, because it's designed to focus on the actual archetypes.

Except one of the problems with that concept, is the fact that some Archetypes are just better then others :/

Which is why there will be a custom banlist o:

Another problem, which I noticed, is some of the better archetypes don't even have a total of 40 cards, even if you use all their available ones in 3s.
TGs, for example.

[byak]

Because they didn't receive enough attention from Konami to become a supported archetype for more than one set?

Antimony was only relevant for a few episodes anyway (not Bruno, just Antimony)

T.G.s, as a whole, have a total of 15 cards one could include in the Main Deck, putting them all in 3s gives you 45.
But because Drill Fish, Gear Zombie, and Metal Skeleton never made it into the actual game, That's 12 T.G. cards in general, for a total of 36 cards as a Main Deck :/

They were so close, yet, so far...

Specifically you. This isn't a "custom" format since it doesn't target staples, it targets everything not an archetype.

If I created a format that was basically play one decklist all the time and nothing else, it would still be a custom format, because it customizes the way that the game is played without altering the game mechanics.

[~/Coolio Prime\~]

Just call it Archetype Format then, because people are interpreting it as though that's the title of the format, not that's it's a general statement. And the ITT is a little more specific than the actual implications, "itt: we disregard anything not an archetype" would be more fitting.

No. It is a custom format. Custom means something you adjust yourself. In this case, the format is being adjusted to suit archetypes. Stop being thick.
