New Buster Blader supports (907)


Recommended Posts

The problem is, though, that comparing BLS to other casual decks and it's STILL bad. Like, the deck itself just isn't that functional and you have to work really hard to get it to work. It's just really not good in any sense.

 

So? Just play against those decks that are at a similar kind of power level to yours. There ARE decks worse/the same as Black Luster Soldier. Personally I really like the way Konami are making a variety of decks at different kinds of power levels, instead of just making everything "good". As an example, It allows those that dislike the power-creep to be able to enjoy some of the more recent products.

That Spell is a SuPo that can Summon Dark Paladin. That's all I needed to know to decide to make this deck. Okay let's see... Dragopit and DragonPulse Magicians...

My thoughts on that caustic "Meta or Bust!" attitude exactly.

The super poly would be insanely broken if it wasnt for the fact that it's only usable in one specific deck, and one that isnt even good. A semi-generic card with the same eff would be loldevastating ,obviously.

Good luck finding those players then

Unless these guys get a Zombie World field spell except for dragons, these cards will be way to specifically match-up dependent to be considered "good" in any sense of the term. Your deck is basically neutered if you're not going against dragons, who aren't even that big right now.

It suddenly becomes clear why Konoomy was so kind to Chaos Dragons in the list :3

Can still use Prisma/Swamp Beast/Hex-Sealed Fusion to bring out the fusion, could make the deck without even running Buster Blader if you really wanted.

 

Well, Buster Blader is really nice and searchable/reusable with Emblem of Dragon Destroyer, Skilled White Magician and even Fusion Conscription/Reserve (probably not worth it though) so the Fusion substitutes seem useless here. And for Prisma you would still need to run at least 1 Buster Blader.

Of course, you could, but doesn't seem worth it.

Which is why DNA Surgery exists, VCR Cat.

So what you're saying, is if you get DNA Surgery on the field, original buster blader in hand/new one on field, and the new fusion spell, you can get a monster that has a lot of attack and negates effects. A combo that is kinda just ruined if your monster or DNA surgery is removed. 

 

Not saying a deck with these wouldn't be fun to play around with, but as-is it really isn't viable.

It's not making it good, it's giving an enabler.

 

It's a fun, gimmicky Deck concept that might never top the meta, but I never said it needed to. I'm just saying that it's not as bad as VCR Cat is making it out to be. DNA Surgery is just a very convenient way to make this from "enjoy winning like 3 matchups" into having a fighting chance against Decks that might have a less gimmick-ridden strategy.

And it's being repeated over and over.

 

We get it's something, but if it's not good why mention it more than once?

 

Also VCR is pretty right, DNA Surgery is gimmicky and the only searchers it has are...gimmicky as well. The deck would be inconsistent and still win only 3 matchups.

I'm noticing a pattern here...

 

Haters:

 

Supporters:

 

repeat ad nauseum

 

That said, I'm in the camp that supports this release.

uh no

 

the posts are about how, BLS for example, was a 110% flop in any sense of playability.

 

Red-Eyes fared only slightly better, with multiple areas supporting it at one time.

 

People are sceptical of this because of how sheet the others were handled, especially BLS, as it's not even casually playable.

 

And no, you shouldn't support "multiple levels of power" when it comes to BLS. Red-Eyes is one thing (Which, even casually, isn't especially coherent, but not the worst), but BLS is a poorly designed set of cards. Not because they're too good, because they're too unplayable.

 

It's not hate based on competitive games, it's that Konami has treated the legacy support by large as a joke. Red-Eyes had 2-3 gems, but not enough, and BLS had that one promo. That's it, the rest is kinda crap, and none of it's enough to even justify it as more than "hurr legacy pay us pls".

Who cares what is better, we still need more Buster Bladers regardless, otherwise making the Fusion will become situational as hell.

 

Yeah, but the new guy can't be fused from the hand like OG can.

 

Nor can new guy be summoned from the hand or deck by the Buster Blader Chick or whatever it's called.

 

So 6 Buster Bladers in a deck doesn't mean a lot if 3 of them can't hit the field as effectively, be searched as easily, or be used in the hand for its fusion.
