Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Playing against yourself if never as good as dueling others, since you always know the moves you will be making, but for the purposes of this tournament, it may be a good idea.

I've been doing that to a great extent with my Deck, and it's actually quite funny. [/quote] It's not silly, it's a legitimate idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Tigerwolf Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Alright, everyone except slayer_supreme is accepted (Still need the fee payed ) Also, "Pot" Double Knock-Off means that the winner of this tournament receives ALL the pot (or still thinking about splitting total pot into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place positions) where even if you lose the first time, you STILL have a chance as it's a "Double" Knock-Off with a "Winners" and "Losers" bracket. Of course if you lose twice...most likely you're out of the tourny. @Slayer's question: TY Archy for answering the question. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Now I just need to decide on my deck. I am stuck between two ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Tigerwolf Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 The funny thing was, I'm still expecting maybe at least just 1 inzektor deck, maybe a chaos dragon...something along the lines of competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Tigerwolf Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I'm giving until...Friday. That should be plenty of time for more participants, and gives times for those who still are thinking about Deck Making to actually make a deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Well, Chaos Dragons has a problem in the way of only having 2 copies of each card, and 1 limited card. They want Chaos Sorcerer, BLS, Darkness Metal, Charge of the Light Brigade, DAD, and so on. They also have 3 different semi-limited cards they want to run. Really, a lot of decks lose a ton of cards in this format. I can't really think of what would replace those cards, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A._Sakuyamon Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Well it's a good thing then. Cause now we are less likely to run into heavys, dark holes, the solem brigade, and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I actually like the idea of this custom format. It slows down faster decks and gives equality across all specific Decks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 One downside is that it -does- make situational cards even more situational than they were before. In terms of cards required, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 The format has the advantages that: Extra Deck oriented strategies are the current commercial focus of the game, and those are very important factors as to why the new decks are not just "new stuff" but also stuff that outclasses older ones. So this is a slap on the face there. Synchros and Xyzs are not ruined this way, but instead, they turn into tactical tools "just in case", not the focus. Which is really what they should have always been IMO. Limiting the uses of limited/semi-limited cards, it reduces the number of your otherwise given staples, and makes you think of what other cards might be interesting with a certain deck. Not being on pair with the IRL top decks is not only natural, but it's the point, and all other decks are in the same boat. I personally like this format enough to wish it was a alternate official format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love of Ghibli Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 The last time I participated in one of these things it was a trap.

Also fun fact I herp derped and accidentally donated 1500 points lol Oh well now that is even more reason to win lol [/quote] You want your money back? -- That was the basic point of the format. My aims were to hammer down power creep down so bad that everyone now has a decently sized playing ground. Lol at how Inzektors would become either "control" or "swarm" oriented, not both, Chaos Dragons would involve more skill, Wind-Ups lose several OTKs, their swarm is hindered and become more field oriented, and how HEROes actually act like "HEROes", saving you in the nick of time, but at a slow pace. Gladiators still require skill and can be intercepted, so yeah they are heavily predictable. :3 I've had that happened to me when I tested the format. Another thing is that cards don't generate as many +s fast enough, which is good. Now we can't go Quasar 1st turn as easily, especially given you either run 1 Forumla or some weird form with T.G. Wonder Magician. The format is also in check and balance with the other formats because what "would tend to no affect a format" in traditional/official formats, DOES effect this format, and severely.
