Forum:Your Own Format!

I'm a little sick of the way yugioh is being played. I don't play very competitively, just with my brother and a few friends. They were talking about how they didn't like the crazy special summoning and destruction capabilities of so many cards in a deck. This is understandable, since we're mainly budget duelists.

That being said, I would love to create my own balanced format of budget cards which would not only be competitive and fun, but also teach us more about how to play the game properly. I feel like all of us have room for improvement in the game, and I am trying to create two decks (mirror images of each other) that would force us to make good reads/plays in order to win. (imagine the goat control format, I never played it but apparently it took a lot of skill to win)

Only thing is, I'm kind of lost on how to do this. Here are my criteria for what I'd want from these two decks:

- Forcing players to "set-up" on turns instead of making big plays every turn - having little to no costless destruction cards (I'd rather have mst at 0 or 1 in the decks, and have to use cards like Double Cyclone or Raigeki Break instead. These cards require better judgment with when to use your destruction effects. - I don't want players to be able to over extend - so maybe dark hole's, torrentials, change of hearts to be in the deck too.

Yes, i was partially inspired by the Battle Pack to create my own format and two mirror decks to improve skill.

Here's a list of cards that I think promote good gameplay over luck Exiled Force Torrential Tribute Effect Veiler Double Cyclone Gilasaurus.

That's about all I have. I'd love some help in making these two decks. I don't think just buying two Starter Deck: Xyz Symphony would really do the trick :P Trak0don (talk • contribs) 13:56, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
