Zauls Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Not sure if this is the right section but oh well. The idea is basically just to hold side events at places like YCS or Nationals or any big tournament that use the Traditional format. The reason I'm thinking about this is the fact that it would basically put banned cards to at least some use. My "team" IRL has built up a bit of a collection of high rarity banned cards that became worthless because they are now useless and I know this probably happens to quite a few players. Some people even take pride in having a high-rarity banned collection, and, to be fair, mine looks pretty awesome in the back of the trade binder. Having Traditional side events would at least put some use back into banned cards and some value as well, so if your deck gets slaughtered by the banlist, your cards don't become completely worthless or useless. Plus it would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sander Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 If your definition of fun is "lets see who gets to go first!", then sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zauls Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 If your definition of fun is "lets see who gets to go first!", then sure. Yeah I kinda get that Traditional is like that, though I've never played it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sander Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Yeah I kinda get that Traditional is like that, though I've never played it before. It will be like that if you host this idea as a side even at a Nationals / YCS. People want to win, so they're going to netdeck the most broken traditional decks etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Basically it becomes a game of "who goes first" and "did you draw Droll and Lock Bird", considering Droll is the only out in most cases. FTKs, OTKs, and lockdowns are rampant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Traditional is not an alternate legit fun format to play in. It is the removal of the banlist. The banlist exists to keep the game enjoyable for people(well, it also is a corporative tool to push sells, but let's focus mainly on the OTHER purpose of it), so I don't think having an official event about it is a good idea. I'd elaborate on what's wrong about it, but it's already widely understood that it's pretty much who goes first wins. People wouldn't run a stalk of banned staples together as a deck, they'd run what either was or is meta, plus the additional cards that break them. For alternatives, I'd rather Konami made a format that changed the rules to strive for different deck constructing and overall playing. No "Let's make it Traditional OR just partially Traditional". No "People must have only Rares or only Super Rares, or the such, in their deck". No People must run X vanillas, X Spells, X Traps, X of each imaginable thing out there". Something that actually changes the way the game plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that actually changes the way the game plays out. This has given me an idea actually. Traditional is too broken to be fun obviously, so maybe making a type of format that allows the use of banned cards but with some limiting factor that makes it less broken and more fun, like only allowing x amount of banned cards in one deck or not allowing certain combinations of cards to be used. It would have to be properly thought out, but maybe it would be a nice idea. Another idea would be to have Goat Format side events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airride Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 1 Banned card per deck is a fun idea to play with. Obviously there's stuff that shouldn't be allowed anyway, like Exchange of Spirit (FTKs), Pot of greed, and whatever. Heck, I'd do it for the fact that I could play Disk Commander Spam.dek, which I find really fun (for some reason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airride Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 why wouldnt you be able to use pot of greed if its only 1 banned card? Because everybody would use it instead of something else that has to be in a certain deck to abuse it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
