How do you know these tiers?

Can I get a link or something?

There is no Tier 5. Jurracs are very fun and one of the best archetypes out of Duel Terminal (excluding the ones that got support outside of Duel Terminal like X-Sabers, Worms, etc.)

A main-decked Rivalry of Warlords...you know, I think I'd crush those Jurracs with my outdated GKs.

Konami always breaks our meta leading up to our Nats - this is done to tempt good players into using the dirty power they hand out for free. When they become dependent on the cheap power card and smash their way to worlds - it's promptly yanked away from them and our format is brought back to sane levels in Sept. They've been doing this for several years now. Refresh my memory ... how many world titles does the US hold?

The US TCG spends more money on Yugioh possibly than any other economy on the planet and we're blatantly and openly treated with bias. Pot of Duality from a super to a secret. Special releases for exclusively OCG markets (I'm a hero duelist and very butt hurt about no Great Tornado yet)

and the TCG exclusives we get really seem to do more harm than good for our game. I don't know about the rest of you guys but I'm ready for Nintendo to take over. Maybe they can do a better job.

But in reference to our current metagame. I side with Pika. I have not looked at the decklists but I'm wondering if the scrap decks and the other decks psy listed main decked a set of tengu also. This topic's author said something I thought was exactly on target - you can dark hole a field nowadays and it bounces right back next turn.

The reason is because konami wants it to be an OTK bloodbath. Why? It encourages new players to enroll into Yugioh. If ANYONE can win at ANYTIME then that is very appealing to Jake K. NoobenHeimer. If I can buy 3 copies of the current structure and win a local or better then it's very attractive to new/returning players.

I think the only real solution is to play the game and find your own personal enjoyment out of it. Screw konami and their money chase cards - just get what you enjoy and have fun playing the game. We're not going to change the money hungry metagame or Eugene Krabs Konami anytime soon. If the power creep truly has broken the game to the point of a die role then be comforted by the fact that it's been that way before and probably will be again. Things will slow down a little after September.

Their focus is not on balancing the game - it's on keeping it just functional enough so that people will spend money to play it. ;)

xD That was epic. I wonder why there is no comment from him ever since.
