system lord of fortune Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 pot of greed is banned in tournaments, athough the pot of aravice is not... the effect of pot of greed is that it lets you draw 2 cardsaravice on the other hand alows you to add 5 monsters from your grave to your deck, shuffle then draw 2 cards.so why isnt aravice banned?

That Fat Guy Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Because having to have 5 monsters in your graveyard is a condition that must be achieved rather than a free +1 out of nowhere. Also, deck fattening is generally frowned upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKC Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Pot of Greed is a +1 card at any given point in a duel while Pot of Avarice is a +1 with very specific requirements. Those specific requirements make it a dead draw if you happen to draw into it early on in the duel while Pot of Greed gives you an advantage regardless of where you are in the duel. Avarice is a late game card that doesn't thin your deck down as it adds 5 monsters back into your deck and those 5 monsters may not even help you during that point in the duel. It's just smarter to be able to speed through your deck as quickly as possible so you can run into your key card combinations faster. Pot of Greed helps in this process while Pot of Avarice only slows that process down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Judgment Dragon Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Because nobody would use Pot Of Avarice if Pot Of Greed wasn't banned. Wrong. Nobody would use Pot of Avarice if it wasn't for the +1. Even so. I still dont use it. Pot of Greed is purely broken. A +1 for no cost or drawback. Banned on any good list.

Guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Pot of Avarice requires drastic Graveyard setup, the loss of Graveyard resources, and deck fattening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
