Forum:Got a question....

Does anyone play by traditional rules? Where nothing is banned, but there are limited.. like, rageki and HFD is allowed? And also, are there exceptions to somethings, of course if people agree upon it.

The reason I ask is because I don't like advanced format, it's too "no, you can't do that!" and it doesn't leave things open for possibilities. Of course, I also don't like it because I run a Cyber Style deck (yes, it has three cyber dragons and a couple of cyber jars, but I tell my opponent before I play them, and they don't give a shit at all). I like it too because, well, most of my friends are my opponents.. well.. all I duel are friends, but sometimes I switch decks with them and let them use my OTK deck, they love it! I mean, I help them structure decks by playing them with my own, seemingly too strong deck, and they really do appreciate it. I get to see how my own deck works in the hands of another duelist (of course it's not as strong as if I use it, you all will understand) and I get to see the flaws in their deck and the flaws in my own as well.

So maybe I don't hate advanced format, I just prefer traditional to the latter. Advanced format does make the game more challenging, but I think traditional is funner... yes.. funner. Haha.

Also, I have a thing where if I am not using a pure Cyber Style deck, I can't use my three dragons, because that's just not fair.

My question is does anyone play traditional and do they play sometimes with no restrictions? Because I like.. let's say cyber jar, I like it because it's a great way to get the duel underway really fast. Pull a cyber jar in the first few turns and the duel has progressed a massive amount.

I've also realized the weaknesses in a Cyber Style deck, granted it's super strong when played right, but I've noticed that if you don't pull the right cards quick enough, then you're screwed, and when your cyber dragons are rendered useless (RFG, imperial iron wall does help, but sometimes it just happens) and your polymerization or power bond spell cards are fouled, then you have to rely on beatdown tactics. Even then, it's not a great beatdown deck alone, and furthermore, I've noticed that there is no best strategy to beating a Cyber Style deck, it's just hopefully you've got some good effect monsters like man eater bug, or night assailant, and the strongest monsters you can find in your deck.
