Canadian Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Idea inspired by ProlificDCharge of DGZ: http://duelistgroundz.com/index.php?showtopic=140580&st=0 As a sort of return to the days of old, when decks were commonly stuffed with 1 of's, and cookie cutter cards, I thought it'd be fun to try an alternative format where you play in a constantly simplifying game state. The rules are as follows: When the duel starts, both players have ZERO cards in hand. Every card that's legal under the current Advanced format banlist (while accounting for the banlist changes listed below) is limited to 1 per deck. In other words, you can only run 1 copy of any given card in a deck (or Extra Deck). You might also want to try playing the Traditional format banlist with or without the cards banned for the Advanced format list. Hand Size limit is 4 cards AT ALL TIMES (except in the instant that, by your opponent's card effect, cards are added to your hand exceeding the limit of 4. In which case, you would discard cards from your hand until you have 4 cards during the turn player's End Phase). During the End Phase, if the turn player has 4 cards in hand, they may discard 1 card. The main deck size minimum will remain 40 cards. Anything above is under the discretion of consenting parties. Banned Cards Specific to this format: **Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning **Elemental HERO Bubbleman **Tour Guide From the Underworld **Dandylion **Morphing Jar **Lonefire Blossom **Gorz the Emissary of Darkness More cards may be added to the Specific Banlist depending on conclusions drawn from playtesting. The minimum deck size is subject to change as well, so please be adviced. Please share your thoughts down below, as I am really excited to hear what people think about this format. It is really quite fun and a great distraction from the current metagame. Post your DN Names and I'll add you to the pool of players for the format!

Sleepy Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Maybe I missed something but, do you ever get to have more hand? If you start with 0 cards in hand and just draw 1 every turn, it sounds like it'd be using that card every turn. It'd be interesting if the actual game had the "discard the excess hand immediately" or actually have your opponent randomly discard it for you so it becomes more of an actual issue.

ihop Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Maybe I missed something but, do you ever get to have more hand? If you start with 0 cards in hand and just draw 1 every turn, it sounds like it'd be using that card every turn. That's what card advantage is for. I played topdeck wars a lot just with normal decks and it's really fun, the Highlander theme seems cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0SS Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 YCM: Plainview DN: Plainview I'll think up of a deck and have a duel tomorrow. It sounds good, it should hopefully take Yugioh back to it's roots and make hand advantage less degenerative and more necessary. No Rabbit also makes me extremely happy.

Sleepy Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Dare I say? Get wrecked, son! Also fun alternatives: btw, are incarnate dragons acceptable here? It sounds like party poopers to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Elemental Dragons would be very bad to draw into early game, really. Also, this reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh! War. Maybe I'll repost that thread in this section, though I couldn't find it the last time I looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 [spoiler=My current build][/spoiler] I am considering banning Rocket Arrow Express and Onslaught of the Fire Kings. Still need to test with someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Just so you know, you need to have at least 1 card to banish to use Card of Sanctity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoshpalStefan Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 YCM: LiteratureDude96 DN: YugiohPro01 I would be willing to test this format tomorrow. Seems rather fun. Hopefully I got all the rules correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
