Damn, I haven't played since this tournament started, and I keep not being here when people want to play.....

Anyways, I did a random project deck:
I have no idea what a good Side Deck, better Main Deck options, or the Extra Deck, would be.

Mark of the Rose isn't needed in my Aggro deck, especially due to my Extra Deck. Also, MStone is freaking amazing O_o with the backrow hate being somewhat crashed, I haven't had much issue in Summoning, especially since if Spells go, I still have several outs and can rack my advantage again witht he Naturia engine.

@slayer - Botanical over Airbellum seems legit.

@Sleepy - Deep Sea King mass Swarm? O.O I want to play against that...

Bait Doll...well while it could be disruptive I'm thinking it would be slow. Still, it would be nice to test it out seeing as forcing cards to trigger wouldn't be a bad idea.

One move. Force Compulse while you have no monsters and they have at least one.

Hey guys, I've had a minor revelation yesterday (after playing my little brother), and I think a customized ban list for this format WILL be taking in effect. In fact, let me give you the know-how:

There will be 2 Lists. 1 is the Power Ban List and the other is the Specialized Ban List. Both are treated as "seperate" ban lists and you will be able to choose both 1 Limited, Semilimits, and Special Unlimiteds from the Power Banned and Specialized Ban List. First, let me show you the custom ban lists:

[spoiler=Power Ban List]

[size=5][b]Limited [/b][/size]
[color=#ff8c00][b]EXODIA THE FORBIDDEN ONE
BLACK LUSTER SOLDIER - ENVOY OF THE BEGINNING
CHAOS SORCERER
DARK ARMED DRAGON
ELEMENTAL HERO STRATOS
GORZ THE EMISSARY OF DARKNESS
INZEKTOR DRAGONFLY
NZEKTOR HORNET
NECROFACE
RED-EYES DARKNESS METAL DRAGON [/b][/color]
[color=#808080][b]LEGENDARY SIX SAMURAI - SHI EN
T.G. HYPER LIBRARIAN [/b][/color]
[b][color=#000000]WIND-UP CARRIER ZENMAITY [/color][/b]
[color=#008000][b]CARD DESTRUCTION
INFERNITY LAUNCHER
GATEWAY OF THE SIX [/b][/color]
[color=#800080][b]SOLEMN JUDGMENT
ULTIMATE OFFERING[/b][/color]

[size=5][color=#000000][b]Semi-Limited [/b][/color][/size]
[color=#ff8c00][b]ARCHLORD KRISTYA
RESCUE RABBIT
TOUR GUIDE FROM THE UNDERWORLD
THE AGENT OF MYSTERY - EARTH [/b][/color]
[color=#008000][b]SHIEN'S SMOKE SIGNAL [/b][/color]
[b][color=#800080]SOLEMN WARNING [/color][/b]
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Specialized Ban List]
[size=5][b]Special Limited[/b][/size]
[color=#ff8c00][b]NIGHT ASSAILANT
PLAGUESPREADER ZOMBIE
T.G. STRIKER
TSUKUYOMI[/b][/color]
[color=#008000][b]ALLURE OF DARKNESS
BOOK OF MOON
MONSTER GATE
ONE FOR ONE
PRIMAL SEED
SCAPEGOAT [/b][/color]
[color=#800080][b]MAGICAL EXPLOSION
THE TRANSMIGRATION PROPHECY
WALL OF REVEALING LIGHT [/b][/color]

Special Semi-Limited
[color=#ff8c00][b]CARD TROOPER [/b][/color]
[color=#808080][b]DEWLOREN, TIGER KING OF THE ICE BARRIER [/b][/color]
[color=#008000][b]MAGICAL STONE EXCAVATION
POT OF DUALITY
REASONING [/b][/color]
[color=#800080][b]BOTTOMLESS TRAP HOLE
MIND CRUSH
MIRROR FORCE
TORRENTIAL TRIBUTE[/b][/color]

[size=5][b]Special Unlimited [/b][/size]
[color=#ffff00][b]Blue-Eyes White Dragon [/b][/color]
[color=#ff8c00][b]White Stone of Legend [/b][/color]
[/spoiler]

So what does this list mean?

It means I can run both Foolish Burial and Chaos Sorcerer, or Book of Moon and RedRum in the same deck. Also, you cannot run any cards in the Power Ban List with each other. Only the Specialized Ban List cards can do this, but that second set of Semi-Limited, Limited and Unlimited card(s) take up the space of your would be Power Ban cards, so if I decided to run both Duality and Bottomless Trap Hole, I cannot run Solemn Warning or Rescue Rabbit and such. So what about the Special Unlimited? These cards can be run as 3 besides your regular 3, but only 1 card on the list. So you can run 3 BEWD with 3 Trade-Ins and 2 White Stones, or 3 White Stones, 3 Cards of Consonance, and 2 BEWD. The rest of the cards (and the ones here) are all up for debate, and this will be the custom ban list we will be using for Chance's Format - Tournament V.

I disagree with special unlimted. The idea of there only being the 3 of a certain card being there was one of the main appeals for this. And it would raise the question of what qualifies as one. Since, I fail to see a critera behind that one.

I assume this is in addition to the normal lists? Becuase other wise how the feth did stuff like CED escape. You missed tones in the list.

I disagree with what appears to be Exodia being viable again. Your Scorps could have teched exodia in. Losing it was one of the better things about the format.

I agree, and have wanted a custom banlist for quite a while... It's just I can't see anything custom about it yet.

An idea, everyone makes a list of say 10 things they think should get hit, provides a reason behind it, how they want it to be hit, and then as the topic name suggests, we discuss the merit of each different nomination. Someone could get PM'd the suggestions and colate them to make it easier. If we are making a custom banlist, I say everyone should be involved.

Exodia "isn't viable" especially since the other parts are also going to be limited (just got lazy). I also stated that the cards on the ban list are up for debate. Banned cards I'd prefer to stay banned though which is why I didn't even mention them.

Also, other problem cards such as JD, Karakuri Synchros, even Black Rose and Monarchs can be put on this list as it will be our custom list.

@Slayer - It was just an example. I did say the cards were up to debate and not finalized, hence why it's not in the OP.

Example Deck Given the "Mock" Ban list I just made:

[img]http://i.imgur.com/bAWkv.png[/img]

Power Limit: E-HERO Stratos
Special Limit: Book of Moon
Power Semi-Limit: E - Emergency Call (lets assume this is in the Power Ban List)
Special Limit: Torrential Tribute
Normal Unlimited: E-HERO Neos Alius
Special Unlimited: N/A

So you guys now have these deck slots:

Power/Special Limited
Special Limited
Power/Special Semi
Special Semi
Special Unlimited
Normal Unlimited

The rest is still MAX 2.

I still don't get it. And I just mean in general? Whats wrong with the format as is?

My little brother, and a several pages ago, pointed out something really clear: Some cards in the ban list are there because other cards broke them.

Book of Moon is a flexible card.
Foolish Burial is a nice -1.
Dewloren is there because something else broke his eff.

In a slower format, these cards are "outclassed" and not broken like in the regular format mainly because of their position and as such are usually not being used because there's always something better. For example, I would go Heavy Storm over Book of Moon because there is just much more of an impact with Heavy Storm than with Book of Moon or Foolish Burial, etc. The Special Ban lists allows these cards that would normally not be used to become used and as such impact the format.

So? Like I said, people are going to play what they want to play.

I don't see how this stops people from playing what they want to play. As long as it's done right, it shouldn't make any significant impact on the Chance format other than letting people play Book of Moon.

I understand that, but you seem to not understand the fact that I'm mainly talking about the cards in the Ban List as well as a few select technical few.

BLS > Chaos Sorcerer
Heavy Storm > Book of Moon/Foolish
Duality > Reasoning

etc, etc. That's what I'm trying to correct with 2 Ban Lists. 1 Specialized for the Power Housers such as BLS, Heavy, Dark Hole, Gorz, etc, and 1 for "supplementary" type cards such as Book of Moon, Foolish, heck even T.G. Striker.

@Slayer - I actually see it as an impact because this will make the deck more flexible and give more outs to locks and "stuff".
