Agro Tries to Host a Balanced Tournament


Recommended Posts

Hi guise, so I was thinking: Why not host a tournament where you can only make your Decks out of a select group of sets? I think it'd make things interesting and as such, I've decided to put this tournament together.

In this tournament you'll be building your 40 card decks as usual, HOWEVER! [b]You can ONLY use cards from the following 10 Booster Packs:[/b]

Do you guys just want me to ban Ruby Carbuncle?

[quote name='slayer_supreme' timestamp='1351313558' post='6054741']
Umm... Can we at least have Polymerization and certain cards that you literally can't play some cards without from this format? Like Skull Servant.
[/quote]Nope. HAVE FUN WITH HEROES!

I may make an exception.

Crystal Beasts are Tier 1 even today. Do you really want to play where they're tier 0 or less?
[/quote]

Yes

I would love to play Crystal Beasts all day every day

Ya'know what I'm saying?

I looked over the cards, and yeah, Crystal Beats have all the best of every kind of card. They have the best destruction, summoning, and draw cards, and their big monsters are nothing to laugh at in this format. Topaz Tiger especially has a good chance of shattering the opposition as a 2K beater.

I tried to make a monarch deck, but after doing some test hands the deck draws bad hands 50% of the time. It's also hard to imagine the impact of cards in this Meta, because all of them are so weak on their own, and you can't quite know what your opponent will be playing.

I actually had 5 different deck ideas, but right now I'm trying to decide between three of them. One of them is eh, but can be really good once it gets going. One has really good opening moves, but can't accomplish anything more than those moves. The last one has overwhelming power, but is lacking a bit of consistency.

EDIT: I guess I should formally join.

I wonder if anyone else is planning on joining now, or if they think it too much of a hassle to go through and decide on good cards for their decks? I spent all night looking through the lists to pick out "the good ones". If I really have to, if it goes on long enough with nothing happening, I will post the list I made to give people an idea of what they can play.

What's more important with Crystal Beasts, I think, is to ban Crystal Abundance. While Carbuncle can swarm the field, There are not a lot of spell/trap destruction cards in this Meta, so building up for Abundance is quite simply 4 or less uninterrupted turns. and then you OTK. Carbuncle swarms, but as long as you have a bigger monster on the field, you should be okay. Whilst Abundance says "Screw that" and throws all logic out the window.

Anyways, time to show everyone the list that I made

Hmm, what about rescue cat? I could have sworn it was in one of the packs.

It is, but all it can summon that's of any use is Des Wombat. I guess that can be good for a quick beatdown.

What about Crystal beast Amethyst Cat?
Get 2 on the field, atk directly for 1200 damage and then when they're destroyed they go to the spell/trap zone.

I was completely avoiding crystal beasts when doing my search, so I hadn't even considered it. You will also notice that for deck ideas I didn't mention Crystals Beasts because of that. Plus, it was obvious.

I haven't read beyond this post yet, but maybe it hasn't been said:

Don't HERO monsters there, kinda revolve around Polymerization, and lack Necroshade, Bubbleman, and Skyscraper?
