A hypothetical new format.


Recommended Posts

Guest Supreme Gamesmaster

In this format, the "banlist" is really the "unique list". A player would build with cards not on the unique list, but could choose one card from the unique list and add one copy of that card to their Deck. For example, you could run 1 Pot of Greed OR 1 Call of the Haunted, but not both.

 

The question: What is a good "unique list" for this format?

What he means is that, in addition to the cards you can normally have in your deck, you can select one AND ONLY ONE card that is Forbidden and add a single copy of it to your deck. So you can run 1 Pot of Greed OR you can run 1 Ring of Destruction, but you can't run both.

 

Also, this defeats the purpose of banning cards, and would merely serve to make the format even more speedy and sackish than it already is.

oh, so it is like the yu gi oh ds games when you collect 95% of the cards in the game. its not as helpful as it sounds. you ehter pick some card like cyber jar or an envoy to give you a jumpstart when it comes around, or some other card that was banned to stop an otk or ftk that your deck can do. its actualy not that helpful.

I just realized, Elmaxodia would be everywhere... >.< You'd have to add Exodia to the "banlist", not that it would be particularly unhelpful to do so.

Correct post is correct, my misled friends.

 

New question: What changes to the banlist would be necessitated in this format? For example, Exodia the Forbidden One would be banned because a player could run 1 copy of Butterfly Dagger - Elma.

Crab got it, Scientist is the single most versatile OTK monster in the game.

 

Definitely running Duo or PoG, or RoD in certain decks.

 

The Cydra fusions would have to be banned in a heartbeat, and if I can still summon Cannon Soldier Mk 2, rather, ANY CARD OF THAT TYPE, I can still FTK with Scientist.

 

EDIT: Also, Vanity's fiend, Royal Oppression, Jowgen all with Last Turn in the reach, especially with Cat Of Ill Omen being serious business and all.
