Subject: Thoughts on the Game
Just as everyone was starting to get comfortable in
this format Upperdeck decided to move up the ban
list updates. This is always a fun time filled with
anticipation. This is a chance to fix "broken"
things in our metagame and to create new decks that
thrive in a new environment. While everybody has
their own opinions on what needs to be fixed i think
there are a few things that could be changed.1st
Chaos Sorcerer needs to be restricted. A special
summon that has priority to remove an opposing
monster from the field and cripple cards such as
treeborn, sangan, and face-up recruiters.
2300 atk isn't too shabby either.
Cyber Dragon is one of the higher profilic cards in
our meta. Its impossible
to go to an event and not run into one. A special
summon gives it power, but
its atk wont disturb any trib. monsters( besides
Airknight & V. Lord). I feel that its not even going
to be touched. In a meta where overextension is
frowned upon a -1 that only gains advantage if it
succesfully destroys a monster.
I think that scapegoat needs to be either moved up
to semi-limited or even in treys.
Another card i'd love to see back is RoD how fun
would that be to use on opp. CED after using stein
to drop it.
Makyura would be nice at 1. it'd make the playing
evironment more fun as more innovative combos and
stratagies could be used.
I don't know if its really worth it to limit or
restrict stein. First, most people just use O.R.S.
anyways and it doesn't really address the problem.
The only benefit to running it in multiples is to a
dedicated Stein OTK as it makes the odds of drawing
your pieces go higher.
Time Seal is a card that should be brought to 1. I
think that going from having 3 tS's and then banning
it is a little too harsh. It adds a bit of power to
control decks while not being completeley
devestating to an opp.
I think that the one card that would have the most
immiediate and powerful effect on our metagame would
be painfull choice. How many decks it helps i don't
want to count or think about, but there are a lot of
them.
Graceful Charity is a card that i don't think should
be touched because at essence your not gaining any
advantage other then seeing more of your deck and
filling your graveyard.
Breaker is a card that has many friends but needs to
be banned. its effect is an ignition so its not as
lethal as Chaos Sorcerer or Zaborg, but its a normal
summon and it still has an atk. that can destroy
most commenly set monsters.
I feel that this would accomplish a lot in our meta;
it would increase diversity of playing and also make
some of the "power" cards of right now a little less
painful.
If you have an opinion on this article just e-mail
me back. Even if you think i'm ****ing crazy and am
about to set off something worse then old school,
regressive, GC, and our current format combined
