Guest Star Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I was thinking, what if for one format they banned all the draw engine cards like Destiny Draw and Trade-In, and limited Pot of Greed. That way all Decks would have equal Draw Power and possibly speed. Would this be a good idea? Why or why not? Please provide reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabris Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 The top decks would still become the top decks; losers still come out as losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Lupia Blitzer Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 No. Because of Foolish Burial, Lightsworns, and search engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemniscate Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 there are still other ways to get cards from the deck. it would just change the speed and the feel of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Star Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 More control based? And shoving LS ahead much? How is it helping Lightsworn? I'd rather have LS on top of the Meta than Tele-DaD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Well, it wouldn't impact Tele-DAD too much in my view, so I wouldn't call it fair. Sure, Draw Power would be equal, but speed definitely wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like this could give them that Draw Power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 You didn't really establish further. As far as I know, you're asking what would happen if Destiny Draw and Trade-In were at 0 and if Pot of Greed was at 1. As far as I'm concerned, this doesn't affect Tele-DAD that much, or even at all, so the meta wouldn't really be that much different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if all Decks had equal Draw Power, some Decks that aren't competitive might have a chance to be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenzoTheHarpist Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Things would change a lot. Teledad would probably be more Zombie-ish then the current D-Hero type build. Is COSR banned in this theoretical list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenzoTheHarpist Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 It's tough to say. LS would do well, Glads might be meta again, Teledad would be more like telezombie. In this deck, DAD would be more useful due o the greater graveyard control offered by Zombies. Maybe Plants would be meta, they have no draw engine currently so they would only be strengthened. Monarchs (particularly the tele variant) might finally be speedy enough to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a rule of thumb' date=' most suggestions people concoct are terrible, so it is not an unreasonable system to assume that any given idea is terrible by default until it can prove itself to be not terrible and earn its Official Certificate of Not Terrible. If you don't think it's terrible, prove that it deserves its Official Certificate of Not Terrible. Would the fact that you thought of it count? Would this same idea somehow be better if it were posted by JoC instead of Star? No? That should answer your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Judgment Dragon Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I was thinking' date=' what if for one format they banned all the draw engine cards like Destiny Draw and Trade-In, and limited Pot of Greed. That way all Decks would have equal Draw Power and possibly speed. Would this be a good idea? Why or why not? Please provide reasoning.[/quote'] Equal draw power. Yes. Equal speed. No. Lightsworn and Gladiator Beasts for example. Gladiator Beasts dont need draw engines to be fast since they tag in and out. Lightsworns self mill, adding speed to the Deck. Even though they lose Solar Recharge, they still have their self milling and their search card Charge of the Light Brigade. I reckon theoretically it would be a good idea. In practice, maybe not. Top Decks like Gladiator Beasts will still be a threat because of Gyzarus and Lightsworns will still be fast even without Recharge. Consistency will probably be the only thing affected in Lightsworn. TeleDAD will quite possibly become slower and less consistent since they need Emergency Teleport in hand very quickly to win. Pot of Greed alone will not be enough to guarantee it in hand like D-Draw and Allure. Basically, good decks will still be good and bad decks will still be bad. Speed and consistency are the only things that would change which decks would be top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I would feel very sorry for Exodia decks :( Seriously though, it would never, ever happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuldur Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 if that were to happen then the meta would probably be LS and GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Well I think that this would be a waste because you would be banning a hell of a lot of cards.But on the deck changing side it won't change anything because they're much more ways of geting cards to your hand.

I'd rather have LS on top of the Meta than Tele-DaD.LS don't need that much of a draw engine as they can dump the monsters, and the monsters in a LS deck are more effective in the grave than in the hand.
