Guest Supreme Gamesmaster Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Netdecking: The future of YGO? That is, do you think some organization will ever pop up that uses the Internet exclusively for netdecking tournaments, and will that organization ever find international appeal? Will that organization be able to create rulings, and (considering this isn't Konami) if those rulings clash with Konami's, will there be separate rulings, or even banlists, for netdecking and IRL play? Will netdecking become more prevalent than IRL playing? What would the longevity of such an organization be? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabHelmet Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Netdecking refers to copying a strong deck card-for-card, so called because it is done by looking up winning decklists on the net; it does not refer to dueling by online mediums such as YVD.

Skuldur Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Netdecking isn't good for you as a player, because copying someone elses deck won't help you grow better as a player, and you're not as good with it as the person who made cause you don' know anything about how the deck works best.

Abstract [Atrocity] Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Netdecking fails and wins at the same time.It fails, because if you copy it card-for-card, what's the point? A bunch of clones running around.It helps a bit though, as you get to see what a good deck should look like.Example; you wanna try Anti-meta, so you look at a few of the good anti-meta's out there to see what's being run, then, you change it for whatever reason; lack of a card, personal opinion, local statistics... So, I guess it's a touch of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate Ryan Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 and online mediums like YVD/DMU/ect also strip the game of what is was made for, I mean it is a TRADING card game, there would be no trading if you had every card like in DMU >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killey Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Well, only North America calls it a Trading Card Game so that wasn't the real purpose of the game. Of course, card games of this type have their trading aspects to it but that's really just something that's determined between people. Online mediums such as YGO still promote trading because you have to unlock cards through dueling etc... Personally, I don't mind free online clients that provide all of the cards like YVD because I enjoy Yugioh but I'll never spend the money on the game and I don't go to tourneys. It's something I like to do on the side and I want to be able to experiment with the cards without going through the trouble of buying them. Netdecking is something that always goes on but it has benefits. I've netdecked a few times but I don't actually use these decks against other people. I like to use the netdecks as a means to test and improve my own builds. If you are having problems against the metagame then seeing how the other decks are built can give you a better understanding of how the deck works and how to compete against it. I run a D.End Dragoon-Dark Armed Dragon-Synchro deck and at first I went through a ton of builds of just Dragoon then I splashed Dark Armed Dragon to find more stability so then I looked to DAD decks and see what works well for it and see what I could incorporate into my deck. Then I netdecked a Oppression, GB, LS, and DAD build and did several mock matches against my build to see how it fairs against the metagame. I can figure out the mindset and play style of the deck and then see the strengths&weaknesses of my own deck. This also helps me develop my side deck.

You also make the assumption that the game is impossible to enjoy when every competitive player runs the same deck. Both of these assumptions are false premises; your argument for the "failure" is invalidated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
