Subject: The perils of trying some originality... -

Who wants to be original AND win games with their
decks? Me for one.Thats why i went from warrior
toolbox monarch/ cyber dragon... to. Well it had
monarchs in it. 2 mobiuses and 1 zaborg, jinzo,
cyber dragon, choas sorceror, DMOC... which isnt
original. But the spell economics part of the deck
was quite original, and if i got the right hand, it
could easily win games. But of course the problem
with even tryng to be original in this game is that
cookie just murders you. Thats of course is why its
cookie. Ive tried now with a few decks to have some
originality whilst having a competetive deck.
Orignality in yu gi oh is of course a joke. Every
good card in the game has been used at some point by
every player that has it, unless of course they hate
it or dont see its merits. Cyber dragon for instance
is a prime example of this. It is of course
sligfhtly over hyped and goes for far too much on
ebay and other such sites. It basically gives a free
tribute, or free field advantage. Which makes it
good. But the amount of times ive seen (and its
happened to me) cyber dragons in the hand because
the player already has monsters out, and they're
better mosnters than the c dragon. then later on
these monsters die an your oppponent gets mobius or
jinzo out... then c dragon useless unless you want
defence or youve just top decked a smash. C dragon
is a v good minster so if you want to make a good
deck you end up putting him in, decreasign your deck
orignality.
Staples in most decks like breaker, dd warrior lady
etc also are cards that have to be used for your
deck to be seen as competetive. And this is true for
most. People are too scared (incluiding me, lol) of
moving away from staples and what are seen in the
meta as competetive decks such as monarch control,
warrior toolbox etc. Any way i still journey on..
trying to make a competetive original deck...
My llatest project is a warrior weenie with d hero
doom lords :) and cliff the trap remover isntead of
don zaloog... lol wish me luck, and good luck to
those people out there who are also tryign to make
orignal competetive decks.
