Yes.

Okay, I'm going to say that doesn't make sense to me.


1 Power/Special Limited Card
1 Special Limited Card
2 Power/Special Semi-Limited Cards
2 Special Limited Cards
3 Special Unlimited Cards
3 Normal Unlimited Cards

As is, it's confusing. If I'm to take that seriously, it's saying I can have to power limited cards, 2 power semilimited cards, 2 special limited cards, 3 special unlimited, & 3 normal unlimited cards. To me it looks as if you said f*** it lets say this is a different format still even though it's not.

Now I would like to ask you one thing. How many times have I said I suck at this game? Tell me that and then tell me if you should have ever considered my points in any argument being valid.

@Sleepy - Special Unlimiteds are only for certain cards that don't seem problematic at the moment and are "physically" and mechanically plausible to run at 3 besides your other unlimited. The reason I noted Blue-Eyes is because it's a structurely sound card. It has support, it has several uses, BUT it does not have a relatively ground-breaking position, especially with Exodia gone. At the moment, the best I can see with it is being Xyz Fodder for Hieratics and a 3k Beater if summoned with RedRum. Even then, it's not much of a problem card. Same reasoning with Mokey Mokey. The reason I didn't include Cyber Dragon is because Cyber Dragon is Cyber Dragon.

Though, the thing is, there are many cards that aren't substantially abusable at 3. In fact, most of the cardpool of the game, looking at how banned, limited, and semi-limited cards combined don't even reach 100 cards out of the more or less 5800 cards out there.
Most of my Dark Scorpions don't represent much of a problem at 3
All Normal Monsters, All Evil HEROs, most Extra Deck monsters, most Ritual Monsters, most of the pack filler cards in history.

Making a specific list of cards is arbitrarily helping out certain decks. Even if it's not much of a difference, it doesn't sound that right to me.

Also, it'd be another list to take care of.
keep it sweet and simple whenever you have the option of doing so, or some players might have trouble with it, resulting in less fun because of excess of technicalities.

Using the NEW list, I decided to make this, just to see what it would be like

Anyone willing to help me test it?

This almost looks like an Advanced Format Wind-Up Deck already....... that could be a problem, right? xD

If he shouldn't have considered any of your points valid, then why the hell are you arguing with him?! >.<

Actually, it should be:
[quote name='Chance Furlong' timestamp='1353517206' post='6074882']
1 Power/Special Limited Card
1 Special Limited Card
2 Power/Special Semi-Limited Cards
2 Special [b]Semi-[/b]Limited Cards
3 Special Unlimited Cards
3 Normal Unlimited Cards.
[/quote]

@D.A. There are no "Power Special" Cards. it is either a Power Card or a Special Card. Where it reads "Power/Special Card" in the above list, it means that you get to choose either a Power Card from the list, or an Special Card. In other words, in any Chance Format Deck you can either run 1 Power Limited and 1 Special Limited Card, OR 2 Special Limited Cards. The same goes for the Semi-Limiteds, but instead of 1 you are allowed 2 copies of each. Of course, all the Limited and semi-Limited card choices should be different, so if you choose to run no Power Cards, you cannot run, for instance, 2 Book of Moons or 4 Ojama Trios.

Now, why bother with all these Power/Special Lists? Chance already mentioned some examples, but I will try to explain it with yet another one:
Dark Assailant. This card is not even close to Dark Hole or DAD in terms of power, am I right? But in the Advanced Format it was limited because it made loops with copies of itself. However, in Chance's Format choosing this card as your Limited Card would make you unable to run Limiteds like the 2 previously mentioned monsters or a Heavy Storm, leaving you in disadvantage. So, with this Power/Special List Rulings, where Dark Assailant is in the Special Limited List, now you can run the Dark Assailant [b]along[/b] Dark Hole/DAD/etc.


Changing subject, I was thinking ROTA could be moved to the Special List as well. Chance already explained how this card is powerful, but I don't think it can be truly compared with current Power Limiteds such as Dark Hole/Heavy/Reborn/etc. As an Special, it would be a nice addition to Decks that don't have many Warrior choices such as Verz, Sacreds and X-Sabers, without taking them their Power Limited choice.

Finally, I think Bottomless should be moved to Power Card so players won't simply stack their Decks with 2 Bottomless + 2 Warning/TT/Mirror Force. What I liked from this Format is how you had to resort to underused (but equally good) Traps since the Warnings/TT/Mirror/Bottomless are all Limited/Semi-Limited and you couldn't run all of them in a single Deck.

@RotA - Being able to go into Stratos with 3 different cards is...a bad idea imo.
[/quote]

I understand, but in that case that HERO Deck spent its Power Card slots in ROtA and E-Calls, which should leave it in disadvantage as it left out Honest/Dark Hole/Heavy/Dualities/Solemns/TT/etc.

With ROtA as Special, HEROes will still be able to defend themselves with at least a Power Limited Card, since they should be going for E-Call as their Power Semi-Limited anyways. It sounds fair to me... but I shoud be taken as a grain of salt since I have not dueled against a HERO Deck in Chance Format yet.

I call for the Semi-Limiting on Atum. If we are adding new stuff already. If not ignore most of this.

More than likely power. Since I think I'm one of the few people who has tested Hieratics, I say it should get hit on the princaple, and the practice. Disagree with me how you want, but it doesn't take a lot of work to make it consitent, get REDRUM, then make M7 who can recycle the REDRUMs... Since REDRUM is already hit, Atum is the next logical step.

I understand its not groundbreaking, but thats becuase we haven't trialed it in a tournament yet.

Otherwise, I would love to see something put on the OP. And I don't have to many issues with certain card plays yet. However the Hero thing isn't to bad. ROTA stays a power card imo, becuase the impact it can have in all deck types. Stratos is a bigger thing for HERO's than Rota. So both of them should probably stay limited.

If you stick to something like ONLY 1 Special Semi-Limited OR Limited, I think it will be fine. Though I still feel like Avarice is a Power card, especially in a deck like Wind-Ups or any deck that cycles through monsters quickly.

Also, sorry, Chance, but because I'm doing a virus scan I guess my computer doesn't want me to duel. I'll wait until it's done, which might be a while still.

@Arch - Well, from the looks of it, these are the ones to consider if we're going to add any to the list:

Machina Fortress
Grapha
Hyperion
Karakuri Synchros
Hieratic Atum
Meiser 7
Firedance Tenk
Fire Fist Chicken
Mermail Linda
Abyss-Sphere
High Priestess
Naturia Barkion
Naturia Beast
Karakuri Burei
Karakuri Bureido
Atlantean Dragoons


Those are in my list of needing a limit, just not sure what of what.

@Slayer - Get that computer fixed. :P It's no biggy if you can't duel me or not.

Also, I'll see you guys on the 26th! Happy Thanksgiving or whatever holiday you celebrate during this time!
