ihop Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 So.... Are people seriously resorting to using stupid shit because of Infinity/etc? what's infinity It's being played because it's the only way round the Djinn lock which is ridiculously easy to do and slams Nekroz in the mirror. Well, that and Book, but Book's at 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slinky Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 It also reverses Qlis normal summon immunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihop Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 The Djin version ended up being the best variant, huh? Nice to know =D It's not really a "version", it just plays 1 Releaser and because Manju/Senju+Unicore into Chain is such an easy play to achieve and then it easily wins the mirror if they don't have this or moon.

Wizarus Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Still not understanding Kevin Tewart's logic for BoM being at 1. Card has been bad outside of Flip.dek which was destroyed a while back, but there is literally no other options left. Things have gotten depressing since Shaddolls tbh.

Resident Fascist Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Book of Moon is one of the best cards in the entire game. Versatility wise sure, but in terms of actual impact it has on the game dominated by utterly bullshit decks like Nekroz and Burning Abyss, yeah, not so much.

Zauls Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yeah, things have just gone too far now we have a play that creates a one-sided Vanity's Fiend that you can protect from destruction pretty much whenever you want. Even worse you can do it reasonably consistently. This is the direction the game is going in because its what best suits Konami's wallets... The game started off with lots of destruction by battle, so you create cards immune to battle or that float when destroyed by battle because they counter the most common form of destruction. Everyone will start using those to counter the most common method of removal (e.g. early day recruiters, Gravekeeper's Spy, Armor Master). After they've released all these cards that don't care about battle destruction, they release a lot of effect destruction and everyone buys it because it counters all these commonly played cards. Then they release monsters that can counter this effect destruction or that float upon effect destruction as well as battle destruction and everyone buys them. Then people resort to non-destruction removal to counter these monsters. You see cards like Phoenix Wing Wind Blast and Karma Cut becoming common. After this, Konami release cards that counter all these kinds of destruction and, guess what, everyone buys them. On top of this, general power creep occurs and now floodgates are the only hope to beat a lot of strategies. Soon the game will evolve to create game-states that can only be solved by non-targeting AND non-destroying cards like Book of Eclispe. Who knows where it will go from there, but its really just a vicious downward spiral. tl;dr power creep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
