(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Klav and I have been hyping a ton about it recently, so I thought it would be interesting to make a thread and see how it goes. I will start the thread off with a fairly open-ended series of questions. 1.) What is your opinion on traditional format (elaborate as much as you wish) 2.) Have you played Traditional Format? 3.) If you have played traditional, what is your favorite deck in the format? If you have not, what would you expect it to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei the Morning Star Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I think TCG traditional is effectively a faster OCG format Quite often in the past Junk Synchron Deck actully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodfusion Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 The only times I've played traditional are on DN when wanting to pwn noobs. But I do wonder what the best decks for traditional are and how that changes with each banlist. For example, Nekroz are meta in Advanced, how good are they in traditional?

CLG Klavier Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Since it looks like interest is picking up, this could be an official thread to discuss strategies for Traditional and whatnot so we don't clusterfuck the main TCG forum too much.

CLG Klavier Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Would Trad be similar to OCG or TCG is my question Seeing as it's Traditional [b]TCG[/b]...and why does it even matter? It's a whole new format with how many new things are opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLG Klavier Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I mean playstyle wise. Do you play to win or play not to lose From what I saw so far, both. You really wanna push for your own game, but there's so much shit your opponent can do you can't really ignore them and play solitaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Convulsion of Diva. Diva is @3 in that format right? It's an interesting format but it is governed by those who call themselves the dragon rulers (admittedly not as bad anymore cus they arent @ 3 anymore over there).

No, Diva is limited on the TCG list so she stays limited. And Rulers are one of the stronger decks, but they're beatable, trust me. The format is actually diverse as hell.

CLG Klavier Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 How does the format work then? Banned cards are now Limited. That's the only change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Wind-ups are my favourite traditional deck, it's confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I mean playstyle wise. Do you play to win or play not to lose I did about 6 hours of testing yesterday, and you play to win. Hard and fast. However, hand traps such as Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, and Maxx "C" become much more potent, allowing for a combination of aggressive and controlling plays, while still maintaining a proactive play style.

I went from Maxx C into Last will , monster reborn, Cards of safe return AND rescue cat, the card is lethal :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Effect Veiler Maxx "C" Gemini Imps Skull Meister Artifact Lancea Droll & Lock Bird D.D. Crow Cards of the format definitely. First 2 should be maindecked in AT LEAST 2 copies I believe, rest are very good side deck sniping tools. I'm currently working an an overally write-up about staples and things but if someone wonders how would deck X work specifically, hit me up~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 G-Imps, really? Do any decks surface that often discard, since it doesn't seem worth it for 3 unsearchable spells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 G-Imps, really? Do any decks surface that often discard, since it doesn't seem worth it for 3 unsearchable spells. There are Wind-Ups on one side, but it's more for Dragged Down into the Grave/Dark World Dealings, assuming Makyura Turbo would actually be a deck. It sounds like the most plausible FTK to pull off, so negating their Dragged Down, thus protecting a Veiler/another hand trap and making it so that they can't ditch Makyura and dig further is pretty good. Plus random stuff like D-Duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLG Klavier Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hunter sends. gdi But DWD/Dragged down argument holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I think Skull Meister is just better against Makyura FTK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 But as I said, Gemini Imps have that slight edge of working against different cards, but so does Skull Meister. A matter of testing I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm still not quite sure what this Makyura FTK is meant to be. The original Makyura FTK doesn't work because Exchange of the Spirit got errata'd, and any Exodia/Life Equaliser FTK probably doesn't need Makyura as you need to play mediocre cards to resolve it or hope you resolve it or else you're left with dead traps, and between Painful Choice, Pot of Greed and Painful Choice it probably has all it needs anyway. Ghost Bunnies seems really good btw. It gets round COSR which honestly might actually be the most broken card in the game, as well as some nifty things such as popping your own Mirage of Nightmare to stop your discarding - this might be worth looking into.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Bunny hitting CoSR isn't something I ever thought of. Really really really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
