The State of Yu-Gi-Oh: JK-47

>the rant. I am getting so sick of two things: The first is the fact that 
>everybody uses the same cards all the time, or if they use different 
>cards, it's the same cards, just a different deck theme. The second thing 
>I am getting tired of is everybody (myself included) complaining about 
>everyone using the same cards. If it really bothers you that much, use 
>different cards yourself, and maybe others will follow. But no one seems 
>willing to do that because they might lose their competitive edge. 
>Yu-Gi-Oh is a game after all, and the point of most games is to win. So 
>everyone takes those best cards and uses them in hopes of winning. Well, 
>in order to save the game, or at least bring some diversity into it, there 
>have to be people willing to give up the cards that have been termed 
>necessary to win. Personally, I have never obtained the cards that are 
>"necessary" to win. I own no Raigeki, no Yata, no Vampire Lord, no Mirror 
>Force, heck, I don't even have a pot of greed. And I still play the game. 
>I still go to tournaments, and to be honest, I get my butt handed to me on 
>a silver platter. My deck is no where near competitive. It's an "Other 
>World" deck, with only three types of monsters in it: fiends, fairies, and 
>spirits. It's fun for me to play because i built it myself. And really, 
>who cares if I win or lose? I don't, and if anyone else is judging their 
>level of fun on my results, then they're taking the game far too 
>seriously. Sacrifice your need to win, and don't be afraid to use those 
>forgotten cards off in the corner. Sometimes they're fun to use. They 
>might not win, but they're still there.
