Getting my cards again :p

[NagatoZakuro]

Well I have a problem which is most likely to be very common in Yu-Gi-Oh... 

 

I want to reconstruct my old deck.

 

Well why I don't have it anymore? Because well.. they were thrown into the toilet and flushed until they were destroyed. (Thanks middle-school-class -.-')

Reason I quitted Yu-Gi-Oh for a while. 

 

Anyways.. my main deck was consisting of Frog-Cards and Frog-supporters (Ronintoadin for example).. my side deck consisted of Monarchs mostly so I could switch from my Frog-Deck to my Frog-Monarch Deck.

 

Well now to my question: What's the easiest way to restore a Deck, especially when it mostly consisted of older boosters (which I can hardly find in the market now)? (Also I would need a hell lot of boosters to restore at least one of the two Frog-Decks I had :neutral: )

 

So the best would be a method without buying boosters.. since the chance of the cards you need showing up is really low.. and anyways the chance of getting them is really low.. I mean.. it's frogs.. I'm one of very few who use frogs. X'D

 

 

Thanks in advance! ;*

 

 

Edit: What cards I need the most (as in REALLY REALLY need them): Substitoad, Des Frog, One for one, T.A.D.P.O.L.E, Swap Frog & Wetlands

 

(Warning: Going off topic there)

 

And yes I know that Substitoad is banned.. but bro: I play traditional.. because let's be honest: The Advanced TCG is just utter bullshit so Konami makes more money. They bash on popular Decks.. leading that people who play Advanced have to change or even create totally new decks.. why? Because they need want money. They don't give a damn about the frustration that the people who spent a lot of money to get the cards they wanted. That's why I pretty much gave up on the Advanced System and Tournaments and stuff like that. I just want to have fun and not to feed Konami for making useless trash while destroying whole strategies that people spent a lot of time on to develop.

The best way is to buy singles online or from your friends who may have spares of what you want lying around.

[Azuh]

Buy a box of Battle Pack 1. Its got a lot of good staples in there which will help

Traditional Format is basically FTK only.

Advanced is a whole lot less "bullshit"

Thanks for help to everyone. 

 

I asked my friends to search for any Frog or Frog-supporter cards, maybe I'll be lucky and get some.

 

Though I have problems with buying "older" boosters.. I can rarely find them at any market. :/ Any suggestions for that?  (I can't use online sites)

No, traditional is not "FTK ONLY" at all. Traditional is simply the freedom of creating your own kind of tactics, be it FTK or not. When I look at Advanced Format I see fucking Meta-Decks everywhere. And since advanced bans many cards for no reason, you can't win against Meta Decks anyways.. and if you can, at least one key-card of your tactic will be banned in a time. What Konami wants: Less thinking, more buying. Because honestly.. even the biggstest noob in Yu-Gi-Oh can be a pro with a Meta-Deck.. and I'm talking about experience.. when I started Yu-Gi-Oh I always lost, had no tactics at all, nothing. Then I got myself a Black Wing Set and people could literally fuck themselves then. But after I was given a non-meta-deck I lost really hardcore. Not because of the deck being bad but because I was bad myself. 

 

I mean... they fucking banned Fishborg Blaster as an example.. which is not OP at all. 

[Althemia]

The fact that you're constantly complaining about Advanced Format when 9/10 it's actually pretty good and a breath of fresh air most of the time nearly threw me off this topic completely. The reason why people ban your "free thinking" ideas is because of the fact that no-one wants to play against your broken stuff. It's not fun, nor fair.

Your metagame mentality is also completely incorrect, because a good player will play until they realize the flaws in the meta decks etc.

Anyway, for you to actually get back into the game... The only thing that I could suggest is using online sites to do it, because most of your cards that you're going to need are older and chances are a lot of places won't have the necessary boosters to give you Frogs. If you can't, then it's probably better that you just end up giving up on the idea of playing Frogs unless you find something like a local vendor or something.

I lol'd at Fishborg not being broken.

Actually, what you are pointing out is not a Traditional vs Advanced debate, it's a Casual vs Competitive.

 

You see, Traditional just removes the banlist, which means that the same decks you complain about in the Advanced format, will actually still exist in Traditional, making it no different, except for the adition of card like Pot of Greed to make those already derpy enough top decks even faster and more consistent. People that play traditional usually try to exploit the combos that go over the limit that Advanced made.

 

In other words:

Advanced > Traditional

in terms of what even you are saying at least.

 

You mean "Casual", which is people playing with fun themes REGARDLESS of if they are the most effective or not. Being creative, flavorful, interesting, is the priority here, pulling something that's actually hard to do. Casual Traditional is what you point to, that doesn't care about the list, and doesn't care about the meta either.

 

Also, Fishborg Blaster might not be broken when used the way you are thinking, which is probably the way the designers originally intended it to be used.

But a card called Coelacanth really breaks it BADLY, and having a consistent enough broken combo, even if it's just 1 combo, is enough to warrant a banning.

It was able to create x2 of this card in 1 turn pretty much always:
Shooting Quasar Dragon.

 

You tell me if that's not broken to you.

Haha I actually want to build frog monarchs :D I was just gonna save up 60-70 bucks and go splurge on the singles at either card shops or online lol you should try that.
