    Anyone still play? Im thinking of picking it up again. These new XYZ cards seem pretty funky though.

    I stopped after GX, the next few seasons/series were kinda un-original and bland. Still have a bunch of cards and my deck :3

    A bunch of my friends started playing again recently so I joined them. I don't like any of the new cards though >_> I play with all the old cards and can still win against like XYZ decks and synchro decks so its cool.

    synchros make everything OP. i think XYZ will give yugioh a little more depth. i feel like the current meta game is just who has the better deck T.T.

    It's pretty true though =\ It's most LSS, TGs and Agents that are topping now. Or... at least. Winning a lot. It's just that they haven't been hit by the banlist yet. ><

    isnt XYZ before GX anyways?... thats pretty old stuff... unless somehow they decided to make another type of XYZ (Ultimate-XYZ?) i stopped playing with cards(still have my deck and some rare stuff), i play the DS version for a while but people just quick when they lose.. main deck => dark necrofear xD Frog~

    yu gi oh became...well dumb. Compare an old card to a newer one, lets say, a normal lvl 4 monster in the old days had probably around 1400 atk and 1000 def. An average lvl 4 monster in the current generation could have a super awesome/cheap card effect and 2500 atk and 1900 def, the only difference is that the new gen cards have more summoning conditions. they're hard to bring out, but they're sooooo cheap compared to the old gen cards. BASICALLY Yugioh ran out of ideas, and began creating cards that keep getting exponentially powerful in order to keep up the card production. PS, I SELL YU GI OH CARDS

    ^true, but its currently at a point where basically everything is at the peak of OPness. this actually makes the game alot faster and hella mind games are used to bait/control your opponent.

    It's power-creep, happens with a lot of card games like Pokémon and MTG as well in order to have people keep buying cards.

    Date: Mon, Aug 22 2011 03:47:47

    oooh. i see. so what do you guys think of the new format? im seeings a LOT more variety. my deck(under construction) is basically cards with level manipulation(windup) and cards that dont die/bring out more cards. the deck basically revolves around XYZ summoning. i think im going to change though, royal oppression would rape me too hard.

  37. Wind
    Date: Mon, Aug 22 2011 04:06:00

    Changing doesn't really matter since royal oppression is going to be banned when september comes. From what I've seeing at my locals, I've been seeing a lot more lightsworns (YAY LIGHTSWORNS) since Judgment dragon is going at 3 and oppression is gone. A lot of chaos/twilight players too since BLS is coming back as well. A lot of backrow hate. Heavy storm at 1 and Mystical Space Typhoon at 3. Giant trunade is banned... Expect to see people maindecking starlight road.

  38. boshi
    Date: Mon, Aug 22 2011 04:16:04

    i dont get banning GT and unbanning HS =l. oppression is banned? yay! whats a decent budget deck that works with synchros and xyz's? iv heard gravekeepers is pretty cheap.

  39. Wind
    Date: Mon, Aug 22 2011 04:25:04

    You can't stop GT from going through unless with magic drain or solemn judgment. HS, you can stop with stardust dragon, starlight road, that counter trap for sixsams which negates cards that destroys when a six sam is on the field, shooting star dragon... the list goes on. Yeah, I'll say gravekeepers are good with xyzs since most of them are level 4 right? Not really good with syncing since you got no tuners. But it's not cheap since you need Pot of dualities to run it well

  40. boshi
    Date: Mon, Aug 22 2011 04:39:33

    iv already preordered 2 pot of dualities. aw i really wanted to run a stardust dragon.

    to normal summon a 5+ star monster requires tribute. so an extra normal summon would still involved tributing im pretty sure.

  54. Mufoofee
    Date: Fri, Sep 9 2011 05:33:08

    Boshi is right. You have to sacrifice since it is a normal summon.

    six sam seems pretty dead with september format. maybe put in more six sams other than shi en combo? Anyone have thoughts on the new dark world structure deck? it seems like OP in a box. i feel like im going to quit again and wait for Vanguard to come out in November.

  57. Erirornal Kraione
    Date: Sun, Sep 18 2011 22:13:12

    If you have the feeling that a certain deck is going to be dominant/too strong in a format, design a deck that specifically counters it while still having a 50/50 shot against other major decks in a format. Thinking of stuff yourself is probably the most fun thing to do in card games like this.

    Hey my deck is Machina. :P The style used for it is to send out Machina Fortresses as fast as possible. Since you don't need to tribute summon for it and can even summon it from from the graveyard, it's very versatile. Using cards that bring it out from the deck to your hand or graveyard makes it even easier to pull it out. There's a lot more to it, but that's the main idea. I've been beaten before by guys using deck destruction strategies, and also bad luck in drawing cards, which rarely happens.

  61. Erirornal Kraione
    Date: Mon, Sep 19 2011 08:28:59

    I have no idea what cards actually counter stuff here, since I know nothing at all about Yu-Gi-Oh, but I suppose that the same things apply when it comes to deck construction etc. Figure out how decks work, what their strategy is, what are their weak points, where can you get the initiative and lockdown.

    Monsters: -1 Aurkus (This guy conflicts with lumina. You don't really want that. +1 Gorz +2 Tragoedia +1 or -1 Card trooper (It's either 2 card troopers or none. One or the other) +1 Glow up bulb (Syncing power. And gives you a mill. OP) +1 Jain (A beat stick that can get over TK Raioh. And one extra name) +1 Garoth (Draw power? This guy is optional. Hard to pull off his effect nowadays though.) For gorz and tragedia, they are dark targets for BLS. Since you only got 3 darks in here... But you won't be removing them for BLS too often. They also work as defense. Spells: +1 Solar recharge (you need that draw power) -2 pot of duality (I don't really think that lightsworns need these. They're fast enough already. Well. They don't work for me.) -1 gold sarc. (The only things you will be searching for would be JD, BLS or Charge of light brigade. but it's easy to first turn draw JD nowadays since it's at 3.) Traps: -2 royal decrees (With MST at 3 and heavy storm back, not a lot of people run traps. And I don't really recommend maining continuous traps this format) -1 Mirror force (you got gorz, trag, and necro gardna as defense. It's good enough. (: ) +1 Torrential Tribute (Works better than Mirror force. Can stop most plays) ^With these changes, it should be... around 43 cards in your main deck. 29 monsters, 5 traps, and 9 spells? Around there. Not really gonna count them all. It's okay for lightsworns to go slightly more than 40 cards. Since you'll be sending stuff to graveyard anyways. So you got to take into account to what you mill. Extra deck: +1 black rose +1 catastor +1 hyper librarian +1 utopia +1 iron chain dragon +1 Ally of justice decisive armor (For mirror matches and agents) That should do for now? o-o
