What was your favorite format?

[Sora1499]

Well, which was it and why did you like it so much?

[Not-so-Radiant Arin]

BW vs. LS format, frankly because it was the format I started playing. But I liked the back and forth pace of the Duels that they had to offer, not like today where it's just OTK OTK OTK OTK OTK OTK OTK.

[Dementuo]

Airblade '07. Tier 0 Destiny Heroes were hilarious.

[.Leo]

Quickdraw Dandywarrior format (March 2010).

Format was so much fun. Then Infernities happened and the format kinda dipped off a bit.

[byak]

Either of the recent Plant formats pre PSHW

[Agro]

Any of the few formats between rescue cat and rescue rabbit

[Wildflame]

Well, I started playing competitively during Synchrocentric format, so I'll have to pick the current one. It's not perfect by any means, but it's more diverse than most of the older ones.

March/Septermber 2011. RIP Glow-Up, Trish, Brio.

@Empolemew
That was a pretty kickass format...

[newhat]

Lightsworns versus Blackwings. Horribly use-it-or-lose but the Decks were insanely cool.

[Canadian]

LS vs BW's for me.

[Lunar Origins]

the one where Glow-Up bulb and trish were legal.

[Cute Rotten Yoshika]

the one where lonefire was unlimited............ <3

[CommanderVolt]

The format where Exiled Force was @1.

I find this post to be hilarious. The crazy things people say.

I really liked last format because Arrive Hero OTK was top of tier 1 in Japan and Gishki Hieratics was a real thing. It was really fun apart from all the Inzektors, Dino Rabbit, Wind-Up, and Chaos Dragon nonsense. I also really like this format because of the healthiness of the metagame so far. Although Dark World and Wind-Up are at the top, there are many viable contenders.

I just hope that Wind-Ups will become slightly more weakened and Grapha/ Snoww become listed. Also, they should make Plants viable again and unlimit Striker to make synchros a real thing again.

By dark world,you mean atlantean mermails,right?

You guys realize Wind-Ups can create Shock Master and Merlanteans die to Shock Master right? You guys also know that Dark World is considered tier 1 in OCG right? But then again...

The crazy things people say.

[mido9]

Shock master kills or at least incredibly hurts dark worlds,so what's your point?

[AsianGuy1137]

That Dark Worlds can still recur Grapha as a beatstick whilst Mermails have no such card, and they've been doing better at tournaments in general. Anything else you'd like to know?

Wait, what?

Didn't Rabbit win the last tournament?

[quote name='Kettleblack' timestamp='1354455010' post='6083148']
Top 32 is 13 Wind-up, 6 Mermail, 5 Rabbit, 4 Agent, 3 Inzektor and 1 Chain Burn. No Geargia.

Yeah, Rabbits are doing pretty well which is nice, but I was referring to OCG specifically. TCG meta has its differences.

[/quote]Yeah, those OTK decks, loop decks, and skill-less decks really were cool, weren't they? Really sad we don't see them around this format, huh?

So since you can't counter my points, you're going to use really bad ad hominem attacks instead? Real classy, but I guess it's to be expected from someone like you. I don't know if it's escaped your notice of if you're just being pretentious on purpose, but most people enjoy winning and equate it or at least strongly correlate it with having fun. Sure, playing drawn out grind games or knowing when to make the best plays with available cards takes skill and is an attribute that's missing from those decks, but skill in itself is not a necessary attribute for having fun. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing Stun/Beat Hero variants just as much (in fact a little more, the real reason I liked it was because Heroes were finally top tier), and I'll probably opt to play something less explosive in a competitive setting, but that doesn't mean I can't play games with decks I enjoy even if they are inherently unbalanced. It's a part of basic human psychology, deal with it. [/end rant]
