Sunshine Jesse Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 (alternative titles: Power Creep Format, Black Hole Format, Guilty Pleasure Format, "S*** Tyrone, What Are You Doing" Format) The idea here isn't to so much create a good format as it is to see what kind of format would result if every deck that were previously dominant during a format that a majority of people consider at least okay (Post-Phantom Darkness) were brought back in their prime to some degree (read: decks I do like,) and take out the most degenerate decks of days past (read: decks I don't like.) I REITERATE: THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AN IDEAL FORMAT AND IS FILLED WITH BIAS AND BAD DECISIONS AND DOES NOT REFLECT WHAT I WANT FOR THE GAME Let's see how far deep down the rabbit hole I can go! --BANNED-- Archlord Kristya Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning Evilswarm Ophion Exodia the Forbidden One Infernity Archfiend Inzektor Dragonfly Inzektor Hornet Judgment Dragon Light and Darkness Dragon Mermail Abyssmegalo Moulinglace the Elemental Lord Nurse Reficule the Fallen One Royal Magical Library Sephylon the Ultimate Time Lord Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth Wind-Up Hunter Wulf, Lightsworn Hunter Demise - King of Armageddon Herald of Perfection Karakuri Steel Shogun mdl 00X "Bureido" Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En Naturia Beast Shooting Quasar Dragon T.G.

I'm just more interested in wondering what decks could/would result from a list like this. EDIT: Oops, misplaced a few things. dat ADHD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdoopertrooper Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Definitely better than those "ideal" lists others have posted here. You also "unlimited" Solar Recharge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdoopertrooper Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Except Evilswarm are tier 0, as are Fire Fist. If Fire Fist are tier 0 here (which they indeed most likely would be), then Verz sure as hell wont be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Jesse Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Definitely better than those "ideal" lists others have posted here. You also "unlimited" Solar Recharge... One of the reasons this is called a "guilty pleasure" list is because I wouldn't mind playing this format >_> I'd still prefer a few other lists on this site to this one, though. I also unlimited Solar Recharge because I like LS as an engine. Except Evilswarm are tier 0, as are Fire Fist. Are you sure about that? Part of the reason I left the Solemn Brigade limited was to prevent control decks like Verz from being -too- dominant (EDIT: Then again, triple Allure), although considering Trunade being @ 1 and Tengu being @ 3 I can see what you mean for Fire Fists. I don't necessarily see how they'd be so dominant either over shenanigans that could/would result from the plant engine being a thing in full force, especially considering triple Limit Reverse w/ Disc Commander could be a thing, and D-Heroes+Plants seems like it'd have a lot of synergy on this list. Also replaced Tempest with LaDD because LaDD goes against the main "logic" behind some of the decisions this list, which is "actually letting people play the game." LaDD->Disc Commander is cool but it's not enough to justify it. I might leave Tempest on there though, because searching -any- dragon could open up a lot of unwanted cans of worms, especially with triple Debris and Tengu to fuel it. God I almost wanna playtest this list now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Triple Allure, Triple Rabbit seems a bit good for Verz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Jesse Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Triple Allure, Triple Rabbit seems a bit good for Verz. Yeah but I enabled a lot of herp derp with other decks and am not convinced that Verz would be so dominant in the face of that. Maybe I should get rid of Ophion since it technically goes against the whole "actually letting people play the game" angle? I dunno though.

Superdoopertrooper Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I also unlimited Solar Recharge because I like LS as an engine. Solar Recharge is already unlimited in Advanced. You mean Charge of the Light Brigade. Triple Allure, Triple Rabbit seems a bit good for Verz. Verz don't run the 1 Allure they can now. Doubt they would if it were at 3 either.

Agro Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Verz don't run the 1 Allure they can now. Doubt they would if it were at 3 either.They would run 3 if they had it. That card would add ridiculous consistency to a deck that's only missing ridiculous consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdoopertrooper Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 They would run 3 if they had it. That card would add ridiculous consistency to a deck that's only missing ridiculous consistency. Verz run a relatively low monster count in terms of good targets for Allure and virtually all the monsters they have are important to achieve their main strategy of making Ophion. They'd rather have the monsters so they can use them than banish them and risk not drawing what they want anyway. If Allure was that great and made the deck that much more consistent, they'd be running it now, but they don't. Most of the targets are sub-optimal for what the deck is trying to achieve. It's not bad, but not that great either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
