OCG's New Rotation Format


Recommended Posts

Outside of KR/JP.

 

I... am rather interested by this. A ton of power cards are missing, as are enablers, which hurts a lot of the decks. No CyDra Nova, Math/Arma, staples, ED monsters, and so on.

 

I just have no idea where it would go, though Tellar and YZ seem strong under this.

A little late to establish a rotating Standard-esque format. So many cards are designed for backwards compatibility that it just cuts off a lot of archetypes barring reprints.


That's the point, really. All of the actual core archetypes wiill still run, if not as optimally as they would like to. And with the fact that archetypes seem to be very designed around working inherently starting from CORE onward (Reference: Igknights, Specters) I think they actually designed them with this in mind.

So OCG set Rotation=Modern, TCG Set rotation=Standard OCG regular=Vintage?

Um Macro and such is lacking a reprint. BTH too IIRC. Torrential and Compuls as the two main traps will be neat

Was going to say Stratos/Mist/Law were out but realized that those came out after Advent. I've always wanted to try Chaos Hero Beat, maybe now I can with BLS CED and the Heroes

RML exists for Igknights.
 
For now, RIP my theory about Birdman getting bumped. No Blastfan or Birdman reprints, to my knowledge. Please do tell if I'm wrong.

Synchro Extreme

They are hard pushing Synchros. Apperently somone spotted Glow Up and Goyo in a structure deck. Wait a week for confirmation. Trishula (Synch+Ritual) both made it in too

No Blastfan, though >=

So, Standard format?

 

I like the idea. Hopefully it becomes the standard in the game, pun intended. It looks more professional than using the banlist, and maybe players will get cheaper reprints of old stuff more often because of it.

 

Cardfight's trying a similar thing with the G-era sets, and I've read that Fantasy Flight considered making Standard formats for their LCGs at some point. It's nice to see Yugioh experimenting with it.

It still uses the banlist, for the record.

I really don't like this idea. At all. Being told what I can and cannot play in as something as broad as entire sets is the best way to put me off of a card game. I hope this doesn't become our standardized format, because while I have threatened to quit multiple times, I truly feel that would put the nail in the coffin for me.

So you hate change and the idea of multiple formats, is what you're saying?

 

Magic's had this kind of setup for a very long time, and I don't recall anyone *****ing about Modern format (where they don't have to abide by the rotation in Standard).

Well this is Yugioh not Magic, and the sudden change can be pretty offputting.

 

Idea felt as halfbaked as CFV's G-Regulation tbh. Or maybe even more so.

 

Chances are the only reason they're doing this outside of Korea/Japan is only due to experimenting outside of their main stuff.

Please actually learn to read posts before you direct insults towards someone. I clearly stated that if this type of thing were to become our standardized format, it would be a huge turn off for me. I am not adverse to the prospect of it existing, merely it becoming the most supported format. Also, saying two different games should have something similar because the first one did it is illogical. Can we please stop comparing Magic and Yugioh in completely incomparable ways?

What sudden change? They didn't just abolish Advanced (and if they did, I'd agree that this was hasty); they introduced a rotation format for a tournament circuit, while keeping Advanced around.

That's an accusation, not an insult.  Also, there's nothing to suggest they'd just stop supporting Advanced if this thing somehow became mainstream.  Konami may mess up a lot of what they do, but I doubt they'd create such a drastic paradigm shift.  Furthermore, TCGs may be drastically different in many ways, but that doesn't mean they can't learn from each other.

Well, I was referring more about Shard's stance.

 

If this does get to be the standard format (which I doubt), then the abrupt change could easily alienate the playerbase, who was already accustomed with the usual system.

 

But yeah, I really doubt this'll ever get to be anything close to be a standardized format.
