This.. Is technically still a winnable game. Although Abby wont use the card that is the only way out I can think of. Edit: Actually, what is Jack's hand size? Edit Edit: It's zero, so the game is definitely winnable if Abby runs the right cards. Edit Edit Edit: There is actually something that could counter the way I thought of to win, nevermind.
Fufu at three is nice, but only for a few decks since it will basically never complete, it takes a back-row slot, and Painful Choice and Graceful both exist.
Actually, Raigeki isn't ban worthy in non-random due to Starlight Road
Welcome to the arena. It has been a while since we've seen a chin as fearsome as yours.
As I've told you on occasion before, one of the two duels that I won was a very close match that I thought I would lose until the very end when my Fables came through for me when I had run out of options. The first duel you had reasonably good luck and I had reasonably bad luck, yes.. But my Fables are amazingly good at recovery. If you had held back in fear of over-committing instead of going all out I would have recovered and gotten back to my very fluid plays. There are a lot of duelists, probably myself included, who wouldn't have pushed as hard and would have let me recover and possibly win the game. From the feeling I got playing you, I'd say that if we had played another set of three the chances you would have won all three are almost zero and the chances you would win two are low.. But the chances you would win one are good. My losing to you wasn't a one in a million thing. Maybe losing without really putting up a fight was, but I think you could keep up a rate close to or even better than one win in every three. In non-random it wouldn't be a question. In random I think you'd win matches easily, but some of them would be 2-1 instead of 3-0.
Jay.. First, I'm not a pro. Second you've beaten my best deck. The best deck I've ever made. And you beat it once in only three games. That's a deck that could fight toe to toe with Dino Rabbits in their prime and win games, even if it couldn't take matches. Beating them with something that isn't meta is impressive. Even if you didn't make the deck yourself, you played it better than I played my Fables, and I know more about my Fables than anyone else does. Also, I haven't picked up (figuratively) a strong deck in a while. I was using an Archfiend build that runs The Supremacy Sun. I think as you are now you'd win a match against Abby without too much trouble. With either HEROs or Blackwings.
Just go first and strangle all of his card out of him before he can do anything. That's what he does.
This entire discussion is stupid. What does Star eater prevent? Cards that activate when a monster is summoned and cards that activate when a monster attacks. Who in their right mind would try to summon something expensive when their opponent had face-downs? Only someone who was very very new to non-random. What does Stardust beat? All destruction. Everything that destroys and isn't a counter trap is beaten by stardust dragon, costlessly. There is NO way to do ANYTHING useful with Star Eater without your opponent having the chance to hit it with compulsory first. Meanwhile stardust dragon is cheaper, beats most of the cards that Star Eater simply prevents from being used on itself when they are used on Anything, and protects the back-row which is by far the most important thing in non-random. Stardust is also expensive to remove during your own turn, almost always being two cost, while Star Eater can be taken out with a simply dark hole, along with everything else the opponent has. If you really have a problem with Star Eater and you can't remove it no matter what.. Activate Waboku before they enter their battle phase. Then on your turn play dark hole.[DOUBLEPOST=1403037707][/DOUBLEPOST]I can't remember the last time in a serious duel between good players I have seen someone summon something that cost more than one or attack when their opponent had a back row. Those are the only situations where Star eater does anything. When's the last time you've seen a serious duel between good players where neither player used a single destruction effect?
Honestly, Stardust Dragon is stronger than Star eater. By a lot.
It might as well be a vanilla beater. One compulsory and it's gone for good.
There's no problem with Star Eater. You have a chance to react to its materials being summoned and you have a chance to activate things before your opponent goes to BP.[DOUBLEPOST=1403036092][/DOUBLEPOST] It would be better to set three face-downs than to use that combo.
That's a three card combo that trades with one card at best. In a game entirely about card advantage, as Non-random is, that's really really bad.
Talaya actually is useful, I had forgotten that. But the rest are all too vulnerable to card destruction, and once the back row is clear Talaya can be run over with ease.
Most of them are reliant on staying on the field. All of those are worthless. Miracle Fertilizer isn't bad. Lonefire is really good. Aside from that.. I guess the gigavise combo is strong.. And everything else is bad.
Thank you Jaden. I have always thought that Super Solar Nutrient was an absolutely terrible card.. Now I finally see that it combos with Rose Tokens. Anyway, A lot of those cards are really bad in non-random.[DOUBLEPOST=1403016314][/DOUBLEPOST] I didn't notice this part of your post.. But if now still counts as "RIGHT NOW" I'd be happy to duel you. My username on DN is the same as on here.
What I meant to say was that with that opening it doesn't really matter what the opponent does. Even Dodger Dragon > Super poly doesn't work, and it's by far the most cost effective play.[DOUBLEPOST=1402949827][/DOUBLEPOST]I just finished my last normal day of school for the school year, and I don't intend to study for what finals I'll need to take.. So if anyone wants to duel me I have plenty of time for it now, random or non-random.
Also, both of those monsters have their attacks halved, and Jay gets a pair of Rose Tokens. @ Stardust vs. Abby. I'm not sure why people were saying that was a good duel. Stardust might as well have been playing solitaire with that starting field.
I don't think he would have any sort of revealing. He'd just logic out what every card had to be somehow based on what you played when, and when you drew which card. And then he'd use cards like Night Beam and Mind Crush to exploit that. If you want an archetype.. I think either Naturia or GB could work, because of the nature of their negation effects.
I believe what happened here is Jay said that he would come back for RP dueling, but would change from being normal Jaden to the Supreme King as his standard character. At the same time, he said he wouldn't duel on DN (Dueling Network) Abby saw the part with Jay wanting to change to Supreme King, and said she had hoped he would be Light, but it was okay if he wanted to be the Supreme King. Jay saw that, and thought Abby had interpreted DN (Dueling Network) as DN (Death Note), and that was the reason she thought he wouldn't be RPing as Light. I'm assuming that Jay still intends to RP as Light, but either A: Not duel or B: use his Supreme King deck (Since evil heroes kind of fit Kira anyway). This is just my quick read though, so correct me if I'm wrong about anything.
This is why people started to not like Non-random. We got to the point where the stronger players could all pull out fields like this turn one, and thus going first was basically a guaranteed win. Nemesis and Jay have their own fields like this. Stardust Field does have an exploitable weakness.. But it's a little expensive, and the five back row can usually close the game regardless.[DOUBLEPOST=1402450404][/DOUBLEPOST] I have it on good authority that he checks in on occasion, so if you say something he'll probably see it. But knowing him, he probably doesn't really care about anything bad you've said about him in the past.
