Eeh, I have never personally had a satisfying game of Apples to Apples. I have never though, after I played a game, "I'm glad I did that." No, it is always, "I hate these people." Yeah, I don't really like Apples to Apples  Apples to Apples CHARADES version, on the other hand...that's fun ;D |

Did something I thought I would never do again.
I robbed a gas station! ;D
No actually I bought pokemon cards and also looked through my seret stash of cards and found a Gatomon. How does that happen? I was expecting a pokemon and found a digimon.

Your collection was improving itself in your absence.
Congratulations, your cards are magic.

Ugh, everyone copies my style in Yu-Gi-Oh... it's annoying.
First I bring my Zombie deck, and annihilate the competition. A while later, someone else gets a similar zombie deck, and wants to improve it using the cards I use.
Then, I make my cloudian deck. I completely and utterly destroy everyone's deck, and show how superior my cards are. A short while later, one of my friends keeps on mentioning how much he wants a cloudian deck.
Shortly after THAT, someone who usually tries to beat my decks comes up to me, looking to buy my cloudian deck. -_-
I have similar luck in every other type of game, with my friends. As soon as they see my style and character / ability / card choice, they go after it.
On a different note, I am pondering whether or not I should get an Alien deck...

hey does anyone know how to take down a Gravekeeper's deck in yugioh? my little brother runs them, and its so hurtfull, and full of hurt! i'm using my ice barriers, and i side in 2 nobleman of crossouts, 1 divine wrath/1 effect veiler, 1 mirror of oaths, and 1 consecrated light, but he's all like "DENIED!" and smashings my consecrated, abuses rite of spirit AND gravekeeper's stele, and also runs 3 stupid necrovalley, the way you're supposed to run it.... i don't like anything meta, and if i were to make a meta deck, i'd go for X-sabers, and everyone know how expensive THOSE things are... i totally wish that Secret guards of the ice barrier would come out already... to kill necrovalley, i'm stuck using MST, wetlands, and Ancient fairy dragon. iunno, i think Gravekeepers are just the most trolling archetype there is.
like, machinas are no problem for me, since i have system down, cyber dragon and chimeratech fortress dragon, but once he whips out them Gravekeepers, i have to side in on the first match.. and still end up losing...

Gravekeepers are annoying... I can believe that you run consecrated light and they still win. Try using Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror if you can, it'll stop all Gravekeeper effects (except for Gravekeepers Commandant). Other than that, run a lot of spell/trap destroyers and you should be alright hopefully. |

nah i don't have that stuff. i kind of knew it was going to turn out this way, because of my hate for high-tier decks, but oh well, DEFENDER OF THE ICE BARRIER AND SECRET GUARDS OF THE ICE BARRIER AND TRISHULA ARE COMING OUT IN APRIL. hidden arsenal 4, yes.
actually, i'm also thinking about making a six samurai deck. if i'm going to make a high-tier deck, i at least want it to be cool, so none of that abusing the kageki + any 2 star tuner monster. i'm running ALL six sams, so maybe some of the cool ones, like irou or something. i know i'll use kagemusha to get out shi en, but i don't want it to revolve around him. that's kind of stupid, even though it's gonna have to be the strongest strategies there, though... i'm trying to figure out how to get out more of my samurai... ultimate offering maybe?

If you make a 6 samurai deck just make sure you try and balance the numbers of each.
In my 6 samurai deck I am actually running (against my better judgement) 3 of 2 of the 6 samurai.
Why? Because some are more useful to my build than others.
What kind of 6 samurai deck are you going to go with?
Control?
Blitzkreig?
Beat down?
Cookie cutter?
A warrior deck spiked with 6 samurai because it is cool?

probably beat down. i was thinking of getting out Shi En fast, and then swarming with the rest of the samurai. im probably going to run 2 grandmasters and 1 great shogun shien. 3 yaichis for spell/trap destruction, 3 hand of the samurais, and irou for the sake of coolness. i think great shogun is the only non-6 samurai that's going to be in my deck.

Bad news everyone. The new Yugioh ban list is up. Why is this bad? Honest is now down to limited  My Gradius deck is in pain. So much pain. Anyway, here is the link to the ban list. yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/March_2011_Lists |

The more restricted / forbidden cards, the better. I disagree with most of the cards going into "Unlimited" now, they should stay where they are.
Not that I actually listen to these idiotic things. I find some decks interesting, as they reflect some people's personality. My friend runs a rock deck, and I find it ironic as to how it fits him so well, personality wise. I myself sometimes substitute cards in my decks to fit the theme, or my personality, and find it stupid when others try and force me to adhere to the ban list. It limits the creativity that goes into making a deck, and when it's something someone's gone through a lot of trouble to get, who's to say they can't use it? I near-perfectly tuned my Cloudian / Zombie deck to fit my style, and now you say I can't use these cards?
I can understand it for say, official tournaments and all (and some very overpowered cards), but I really find it annoying to have a ban list mentioned in a friend v.s. friend duel. When it's my friends, I don't give a damn if monster reborn is forbidden / limited, I will use any card that isn't obscenely ridiculous to make sure that they lose, and I win. Simple as that.
Now, if it's Chaos Emperor Dragon, that's another story. Cards like that aren't even meant to exist, for they defeat the whole purpose of the game.

I can see where you are coming from.
You are someone who plays all casual.
However there are a ton of cards like Chaos Emperor Dragon that deserve to be banned, cards like Rescue Cat and Butterfly Dagger Elma.
There are a number of cards that can be used for OTK's and Yugioh isn't set u to handle massive combo's the same way Magic the Gathering is. In order to compensate for that, they ban a lot of stuff.
Most of the stuff on the banned list makes perfect sense mechanically if you think about it enough, or think about it in a certain kind of deck.
If you want to build a deck that suits your personality, sure, build a casual billy deck. Go for it. Have fun. No one is stopping you. Power to you.
I on the other hand not only think that tourney play makes more sense mechanically, but I am going to an anime convention early April and want to participate in the tournament there so I have to get my decks in tourney style.

Oh, I know of -THOSE- cards (Ones that shouldn't have been made in the first place) and those deserve to be shooed away, and locked up.
But it's just that it -really- gets on my nerves when a friend tries to get a tactical advantage or to edit my deck by saying "Isn't that limited? Isn't that semi-limited? Can't you only have one? Do you have more than one?"
Oh, and I'm not saying that my decks fit my personality, it's just that I find it fascinating how quite a few people have made decks that are not only powerful, but complement them on their person as well. I find people's personality and how this reflects on themselves and others a very fascinating subject. Not saying that I'll, for example, make a mish-mash junk deck because "The cards look cool.", or "They fit me.", just that I am heavily interested of how decks that are usually masterfully made or just made with the available cards fit people just so nicely, and how this usually reflects upon their strategies on other games.
One of my friends, for example, always goes for the heavy attack monsters, typically dragons and such, and tries to smash through enemy defense with brute strength. In other games, this is usually the case, going for all out strikes, sacrificing technique for more attack, chances of higher damage even if there's a risk of failure.
Not so much as the cosmetic effect of the deck, but of how it can usually let me understand more of how they think, and how they will probably choose things in the future, regarding strategies and character classes and all those things. You could say I just like studying the correlation between personality and strategy.
I have no problem with tournaments (I respect them, and the players within them. Though personally, I wouldn't participate unless I absolutely had to.), and I understand the need for ban lists, but I really think they either really need to be more careful in the future with the cards they make, or errata rather than outright forbidding or limiting cards.
Don't take it as me on hating ban lists or anything, but to be honest, things like ban lists and rotation blocks (Or something of the sort. Pretty much: "After X month of Y year, cards from the sets Z, A, and B, are illegal for tournament use.") bother me when they're brought up in casual play of sorts.
Though I suppose I must be taking it a bit too seriously. Just hate it how most people that come up to me wanting to duel keep bringing up how a few of my cards aren't legal according to the ban lists, when I have told them time after time that I don't go through those. I suppose it's just a matter of my friends being stupid? Or perhaps it's me? I don't even know any more.
On a different note, still thinking of that alien deck, but the Yu-Gi-Oh fever has died a bit around my area... not sure if it'd be worth the trouble.

On a different note, still thinking of that alien deck, but the Yu-Gi-Oh fever has died a bit around my area... not sure if it'd be worth the trouble. I am just like your friend I will make a ton of big guns and try and force an opening for me to shoot through. As for "I really think they either really need to be more careful in the future with the cards they make, or errata rather than outright forbidding or limiting cards."I think that has 2 different explanations. First off, sometimes it is a mistake. They are people, people are flawed, there are a ton of cards, it is hard to think from every angle. Also, it makes money. If you release an over powered card people will eat it up. If you ban it a little later, you didn't change the meta of the game and still made a ton of money. It is just business. I understand that you don't hate ban lists. No worries. Well, if their deck is legal and yours is casual you two shouldn't be playing. Nuff said. Anyone who does is just asking for an argument. I can see why those people would bother you. The alien deck sounds fun. Hopefully you will still remember it when you get back into the game. When I take a break from a game for awhile I usually come back all fired up to play again and think "What was that deck I wanted to make?..." Sad days. |

I have one or two friends which don't care if it's casual v.s. legal (so long as nothing ridiculously stupid, such as if Chaos Emperor Dragon was involved), but there's two of them that can't get it past their incredibly thick heads: "I don't adhere to ban lists. My cards, my deck. Limit yourself if you want, just know I don't care. Don't like it? Don't duel me."
I pull out a monster reborn? It's illegal, it can't be there. Oh for God's sakes, must I say it again? My favorite thing is, however, that if they won't let me use it, I'll just replace it with a different card with more or less the same effect.
"Fine, you don't want me to use Monster Reborn? Alright, here, Book of Life. Now I get to special summon -and- remove a monster from your graveyard from play. Do I smell the bitter scent of regret?"
Thing is, someone who was a major contribution to the fever being revived moved away, and another one switched to magic. Me, not having anyone to duel with anymore, switched to Advance Wars, and now Yu-Gi-Oh is sort of... sporadic. Maybe someone might pull out their deck and ask for a duel, just maybe. Though, come to think of it, the fever really started to die down once I brought in my cloudians. Everyone hates them.

i'd duel you viroth ;D
i have finally finished my six sam deck, and i can see why its so overpowered. its still in the proxy stage, since i don't want to blow off all of my money. the only thing i hate is trying to fit all of the cards into 40 sleeves, since i don't have any more, in order to proxy. for example, i am trying to fit in a gold sarc for gateway, but there's simply nothing i can take out...
personally, i can duel anyone, since i lose all the time anyway, well, only to the people i really respect. i care about as much for the ban list as viroth does. i don't care as long as its not some broken card. but if people actually make legal decks, i appreciate it because it helps me figure out what to anticipate when i enter tournaments, since everyone is up to date.
