(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 If you're facing Lightsworn, then yeah, that statement is completely valid. Is it, though? I feel many would disagree. How does their choice of deck automatically make you "deserve" anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Because there's generally a HUGE gap between outplaying your opponent through careful use of your current cards, and pulling JD out of your ass and saying GG. The latter is more rage-inducing y'see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei the Morning Star Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Chaos Dragons were hardly linear. Yet everybody whined that it was autopilot. What I've noticed is decks become less and less linear the more you hit the deck. Nekroz and Shaddolls fit this the best, the more and more the deck got hit, more engines came up. They were inherently inferior to the pure Nekroz engine. But now you see the TGU engine, Diva Engine, Deskbots, and its hardly linear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 If you're facing Lightsworn, then yeah, that statement is completely valid. Actually it's not. No player deserves to win in card games. At all. You can (think you're) outplay(ing) the opponent the whole game, then get blown away from out of nowhere. It's normal in games where randomness exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That because when you lose all your best toys you have to improvise more. I found Shaddolls boring until I started playing Train Dolls and discovered that Shadds actually possess a lot of variety in what they can do, and that their interactions with other engines is actually pretty fun. I combined them with Gimmick Puppets after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. The banlist if used properly can "unlinearize" decks. You can't do what OCG did to shaddolls or what happened to plants and overkill, but if you hit a deck like they did nekroz, (limit 3-4 members of the main engine) you can make it a lot more skillful to play. Take Dragon Rulers. Before Dark Matter came in and turned the deck into a otk fest, it gradually become more and more skillful. April 2014 is widely regarded as the healthiest OCG format (Rulers @1 Gold Sarc and Super Rejuv just limited). That ruler variant was super skillful. It gradually become less and less skillful (IMO) if you rewind formats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
