Netdecking: Discussion


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Netdecking refers to copying a strong deck card-for-card' date=' 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.

lol, i was confused when i was reading this for the same reason.

 

but nonetheless, i see your point. i believe that there might be a chance that this will happen, and with the ability to have any card at your disposal, it will be waaay more fair. ^_^

 

but it cuts down on the interaction, which is what a card game is designed for....

and online mediums like YVD/DMU/ect also strip the game of what is was made for' date=' I mean it is a

TRADING card game, there would be no trading if you had every card like in DMU >.<

Because making the game based around who has the most money makes things so much better.

erm.. true... there must be a happy medium >.<

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 make the assumption that netdeckers don't change what they built.

 

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.
