Max Darkness Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Well, if you know German, you're able to speak to most of Eastern Europe. And you know the Main Phase 2, the phase that's vital to most Decks, especially "Gladiator Beasts"? Well, Konami thinks that we don't need it anymore! Effect: Activate only during your Main Phase 1. While this card is on the field, both players skip their Main Phase 2. That's right! The Phase that the old meta uses to shore themselves up for the next turn is now void... *sighs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Not exactly, but true for most part. Meh, luckely most people won't use it. Though if you would encounter it. Then you're in for big trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Darkness Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Meh, luckely most people won't use it. Though if you would encounter it. Then you're in for big trouble. Maybe. "Gyzarus" is still an effective field nuker. And "Test Tiger" can trade in a "Gladiator" for "Bestiari". And all their effects activate during the End Step of the Battle Phase, so if I can get "Bestiari" out to destroy it, I have my Main Phase 2 back. Also, currently experimenting with "Ancient Forest" and "After the Struggle". They are incredibly brutal, but do force me to constantly circulate my "Gladiators". And "Bait Doll" is an interesting side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Well that's also a way to see it. So no worries Max. Konami can try as much as they want, people will always find ways to screw the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konami can try as much as they want, people will always find ways to screw the rules. Indeed. On the subject of "Ancient Forest", I think I might add it full-time (alongside "Cage of the Gladiator Beasts") since it does give me breathing space if an opponent has a powerful monster on the field and if I need rid of it, "Bestiari" or "Gyzarus" can destroy it for me. (It also means one less "Mystical Space Typhoon" aimed at my Trap Cards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 True, though personally I don't like Ancient Forest a lot, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Darkness Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 True, though personally I don't like Ancient Forest a lot, but whatever. I like it more than I did. Mainly because the "Gladiator Beasts" can bypass its destructive effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Yeah, I gues so. But I still don't like it. Though it might work in... Nah, I guess not. Any tips for an ALO Lvl 5>Lv 4 Deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tips for an ALO Lvl 5>Lv 4 Deck? The only Decks I can see it working in are "Gladiator Beast" and "Yubel" Decks. "Divine Dragon Aquabizzare", "Elemental Hero Absolute Zero" (using "E-Hero Ocean"/"Stratos"), any strong Level 5 WATER monster, a couple of Level 7s and of course "Mobius".

Lexadin Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Mhh, forgot about Absolute Zero. Ok thanks Max, I'll try it out in WC '10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Darkness Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Why is everyone raving about "Pot of Duality"? Yes it gives you one of the top 3 cards of your Deck, but then you can't Special Summon for a turn. I was under the impression that the modern game relied so heavily on Special Summoning that "Royal Oppression" was a genuine threat. So this locks down your Deck for a turn...

Lexadin Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Perhaps its usable when you don't need or simply can't to Sp. Summon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Darkness Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Perhaps its usable when you don't need or simply can't to Sp. Summon? But that does mean you have to wait for the rare-ish time that you both have enough field presence and you don't need to Special Summon for a turn. And in my Decks, it's rare to have a turn where I don't need to Special Summon, let alone also have a specific Spell Card in my hand at that time. From my point of view, I look at it as a rare use card. Too rare to justify its raves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 True, though in my Decks it would probebly be on ok addition. Not something I would have to have in it. Perhaps in my ALO... Nevermind Murrey of Greed's better.Nah you're right. Its not that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps in my ALO... Nevermind Murrey of Greed's better.Nah you're right. Its not that good. Exactly. "Salvage" + "Moray of Greed" is the best thing for "ALO" Decks. Maybe I'm missing something. Perhaps it's more useful in Decks that don't get shuffled at least once per turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Actually while using my high LVl ALO Deck, I don't use that much "Salvage's", but yeah its way better. Meh, shuffling randomizes everything too much imo. I don't trust lady Fortuna that enough to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I like having my Deck shuffled, mainly because it means if my Deck starts with a monster-heavy top, it can be rectified in a turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Mhh, true. But its a different thing with Glads Max. Most other Decks its just something to add to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazooie Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I still don't understand why everyone is so interested in "Pot of Duality"... Because the card is good. A free card when you can't do anything else, I call that good. Then again, my current deck, which has won both of it's duels currently, although it was weird, has no reason to Special Summon, so Duality doesn't really hinder me at all, it's just a nice way to thin the deck. Even with all the Special Summoning, some people still get bad hands that Duality couldn't really screw with, so it'll always have it's uses in a duel. Yeah, sorry about my inactivity. I kind of got distracted by an online dueling program. Forgot about posting here. This is Caeda by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Darkness Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 The problem with my Decks is that if I'm locked down in Special Summoning for a turn, there's a chance I'll leave myself in a compromising situation for my opponent's Battle Phase. Also, the times when I can't do anything and I draw a specific card are rare to say the least in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazooie Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Then the card isn't for your deck. That doesn't change the fact it's a great card, and is usually helpful. Many people I've dueled use Pot of Duality, and it hasn't screwed any of them over. Is the deck you use still Glads? If so, Duality certainly doesn't work in it.

"Glads", "Fableds" and "Level 3 Synchros". I was just under the impression that Special Summoning was so integral to the modern game, a temporary lockdown was a problem.
