Book of Eclipse


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Can't forget setting their monsters vs BA and setting your Manju/Senjus though!

Find it funny how good this card is this format, kinda dumb that things have gotten to a point where this card is needed to eventually stop people.

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
