Lonk Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 While playing this game and studying it, I have been wondering about one thing: "How come it is overpowered to place cards back into your opponent's deck these days?" You see, today's meta is focused on sending cards to the Graveyard, so the opposite of that would be to send cards back to the deck? Since confiscation is no longer overpowered in today's meta, I think it no longer deserves to be banned. I could see how come forceful sentry is banned (you look into your opponent's hand with virtually no cost, and send a card back to your opponent's deck). Discuss this method and how it can be used in today's meta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chaos Pudding Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hand destruction, especially the likes of Confiscation, will ALWAYS be overpowered. No two ways about it. That being said, if it were to be Limited in today's environment, it wouldn't make much of an impact. Now what was this topic about, again?

CrabHelmet Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 How on earth did you go from "Returning cards to your opponent's deck is desirable" to "Confiscation is balanced"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 *Facepalms* I used it as a comparison to how broken forceful sentry is which sends a card back to the deck. EDIT: To save some space, Confiscation and Forceful Sentry are cousins by effect. So now that we got that cleared up, let's turn this around to sending cards back into the deck and how it can be used today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lightray Daedalus- Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hypotetically a card like Put that back there Byotch!!!Trap/SpellNormalYour opponent selects and shuffle a card from his hand into his deck or Your opponent shuffle a card from his hand into his deck (Randomly) Would be a perfectly balanced form of hand spining? The thing with the likes of TFS, Confiscation, Dustshoot is the fact that you can select the cards you put back and take a look at your opponents hands, letting you prevent future movements on the opponent and rendering any aviable strategy useless.... now that we solve the confiscation problem...There are not many cards that put cards back from the hand to the Deck...not balanced ones at least...

Zkaiser Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I don't think he means only from the hand, he means from anywhere a la Ehren and Jujitsu Master. The best thing about spinning is that it removes the card from readily accessible areas (Graveyard, Out of play) to the Deck where there are fewer ways to retrieve it. Of course I'm only speaking of shuffling cards back into a Deck because topdecking them is broken en masse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Griffin Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I once topdecked 4 cards in a turn using a lulzy antimetaish monarch Deck. They ran into Juju, I PWWB'd and discarded Shell. I tribued Juju for Raiza and set another PWWB, tutoring another Shell. They gave up xD I had a 2400 beatstick and they had 4 turns of not-enough to defend themselves. I really should make that again.

Lonk Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I just thought of something good. While protector of the sanctuary is out, use disturbance strategy. Your opponent sends his/her hand to the deck and cannot draw them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cakey Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Spiritual Wind Art - Miyabi One of like, two cards that spin to the bottom of the opponent's Deck. Just sayin'. I've been in the middle of designing cards that could be splashed into Lightsworns to cycle cards back into the Deck (no, I don't think LS need support, it's just that the hypothetical fanfic character who would use these is a jabroni. :D), and I remember I made a Vanilla Support DAD that returned cards to the deck instead of destroying them. But anyway, I don't really know why returning cards to the Deck is so rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfowt Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Grave Protector shuffles monsters destroyed by battle into the deck. I guess it's rare because that makes the card's effect completely unusable. there are no cards whose effect activates while they're in the deck, so the card can only be used if drawn or searched by another card effect.

Waluigi43 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 While playing this game and studying it' date=' I have been wondering about one thing: "How come it is overpowered to place cards back into your opponent's deck these days?"[/quote']Um, what? Last I checked it was only considered a crippling factor. Trap Dustshoot is considered overpowered, but for a completely seperate reason. You see, today's meta is focused on sending cards to the Graveyard, so the opposite of that would be to send cards back to the deck?Working against a meta doesn't make you overpowered. It simply makes you effective against commonly played decks. That'd be called anti-meta, which I should mention includes DD and cards that prevent Graveyard usage or Special Summoning, not silly "return to the deck" methods. Since confiscation is no longer overpowered in today's meta, I think it no longer deserves to be banned. I could see how come forceful sentry is banned (you look into your opponent's hand with virtually no cost, and send a card back to your opponent's deck).Okay, is that supposed to be a joke? Discuss this method and how it can be used in today's meta.What method, exactly?… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
