Prepare for a semi-long read and bear
with me, plz :'(.
Everyone now-a-days is bashing originality or trying
to promote it...what's wrong with it?
Pros:
1) You have a more fun duel with your opponent.
2) You use cards that you otherwise wouldn't(ie:
your favorite card your afraid to use).
3) You get to try new strategies that you wouldn't
dream of with CC.
4) You might actually win!
5) You have taken the first step to full
originality(ie: no staples).
Cons:
1) You might lose.
2) Not good for tournaments(that can be fixed).
3) People might laugh at you...(:( why would they do
that:P).
Ok, so original decks(why do they call them
original, why not like custom or
something?) aren't really that great right off the
bat. They may not be tournament ready or something,
but that is where the trial and error part comes in.
Steps to "Trial and Error":
1) Build a deck(try and avoid staples and CC cards).
2) Duel someone(preferably a friend so you won't get
laughed at, constructive critisism).
3) What went wrong?(what didn't work? what could be
better? what can I take out/put in to make it
better?again avoid CC cards but try some staples ie:
mirror force).
4) Repeat steps 2-3 till deck is good(again refrain
from using CC cards)
Just recently I built an Earth/Fairy deck(you know
like keldo, kelbek, agido, ect.). Did it work out at
first? Not a chance! I lost 2 rounds to a
competative deck(BEWD deck soooo evil!!). But I
digress. I lost, it was against a friend, I had
built the deck 5 min before he came and I shrugged
it off. I modified it, and the next game a won 2-1!!
I modded some more and 2-0 against 2 decks at
once!!(talk about evil huh?) My deck focused around
equipment magic cards and the fairies, but that
wasn't enough, so I changed it. Put in a few staples
and Voila!!
So if you want to be original or are complaining
about originality, be an example!! Go out and make a
deck, have a small tournament(without prizes) with
your friends and try it against their competative
decks and see what happens...
