Forum:A SPECIAL deck

Most of today, I have been reading about autism, and would like to ask as many people as possible to help in the construction of a deck that has a play-style like that of people with autism. As for the theme of the deck, please give ideas so we can begin construction. I will be the one that updates the deck as soon as I can when someone has posted a suggestion. If you don't know what autism is, please look at what other people say and almost any site that is not Wikipedia. However, the theme/play-style HAS to be approved by someone with autism and have a vote of at least 9 other people for the theme/play-style to be the final decision for the deck. Thanks if you are able to help. --I may not be perfect, but thats who I am. (talk • contribs) 21:07, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Why not a Psychic Deck? It would tie in with the 'gifted' theme. Chromace (talk • contribs) 21:51, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, any other ideas?--I may not be perfect, but thats who I am. (talk • contribs) 23:46, October 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Autism comes in many forms...is there any archetype which encompasses that? It would be terrible to generalise it.
 * yeah, a well-built strategy deck like they use in the anime can contain nearly infinite flexible strategies, for example, take a look at the one I'm working on myself (forum's title Strategy Deck Help)Djt08031996 (talk • contribs) 01:02, October 27, 2013 (UTC)

I wonder, on the Psychic note, what kind of playing style would it have? I'm pretty sure Autism is characterised by immense (dare I say obsessive?) focus on a certain kind of task/interest/etc. Is there any way that could be represented? Chromace (talk • contribs) 12:04, October 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * But that interest changes depending on the individual. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk ) 12:43, October 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Good point...perhaps we're looking at the wrong thing, building a single deck to represent something that can't be generalised. Proposition - multiple decks to fit Autism's diverse spectrum? Chromace (talk • contribs) 04:55, October 26, 2013 (UTC)

Combo-oriented Decks are geared towards setting off a particular sequence of card effects with no interruption. Some combo decks only have that one combo as their win condition, resulting in them insistently going for the combo at nearly every opportunity, with only the opponent's actions causing them to deviate from time to time. --Gadjiltron (talk • contribs) 14:29, October 25, 2013 (UTC)

So are there any archetypes or deck types you suggest? --I may not be perfect, but thats who I am. (talk • contribs) 15:03, October 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hmm, trying to create a Deck based around a game-winning infinite combo in Yu-Gi-Oh is rather difficult, since most game-winning combo strings are either impractical (too many potential points of failure), or have been murdered by the banlist. Perhaps the closest I can think of is the one-turn Shooting Quasar Dragon combo in a Yusei Synchro Deck, but that Deck also has the option of branching out to other Synchros for different situations, and won't represent the "insistence on the combo" aspect.
 * Perhaps a Utopia-ZW Deck might work, since it all hinges on bringing out Utopia and/or its Chaos forms, protecting them, and boosting them with a thousand weapons. --Gadjiltron (talk • contribs) 15:13, October 25, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, from what is listed, I see Psychic, Shooting star Quasar dragon, and Utopia (archetype) with Zexal Weapons. Any others than might have an overall relation to how some people with Autism act before I call for a vote? --I may not be perfect, but thats who I am.

As a person with high-functioning autism, I feel like I should contribute. I think it's silly, but what you should do is make a deck focused around an abusable loop. Autistic people enjoy repetition. So a set that can be spammed repeatedly and easily to the most enjoyment of the player. So just give them most meta decks and let them go nuts. You don't need a special decklist because the most basic concept of "thoughtless spamming" already exists. Jet-Black Nova (talk • contribs) 05:05, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Not speaking for myself but from what I've observed in various friends and acquaintances with a rather large range of how it displays itself, I would suggest what Jet-Black Nova is probably the best. -- slave (command•works) 06:27, October 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * In that case, Infernity Decks we see in the tournaments are fond of doing the same loop involving the same 3 monsters over and over again. --Gadjiltron (talk • contribs) 08:52, October 26, 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps building multiple different decks might be a possibility? I don't really think Autism should be summed up in a single deck only. It's a wide spectrum. Chromace (talk • contribs) 10:51, October 26, 2013 (UTC)

Exactly that Chromace. For instance, I use a wide variety of decks ranging from a rank-up deck to Vampires, all the way to a bizarre Obelisk deck. You cannot sum up a mental condition in one simple version. There are infinite influences that affect the person. The only thing is let the person decide their deck. Not you. Jet-Black Nova (talk • contribs) 15:03, October 26, 2013 (UTC)

Speaking as someone with Autism himself, I'd suggest a strategy deck because, like User:Jet-Black Nova said, there are infinite influences that affect a person, which could be reflected in a deck with infinite possible strategies based on the situationDjt08031996 (talk • contribs) 21:07, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Out of curiosity, by strategy deck, what do you mean? Chromace (talk • contribs) 02:34, October 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Considering Djt's track record, his definition of "strategy deck" is "something flexible that adapts multiple different strategies to handle different situations". Vague, yes, but that's what I'm seeing based on his use of the word. --Gadjiltron (talk • contribs) 02:54, October 27, 2013 (UTC)

Out of curiosity; why are you trying to break down a shared trait shared by thousands of people into a single deck? (No offence; just curious and amused and confused) :) -- slave (command•works) 07:19, October 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * You might want to look a few paragraphs up. There was a small conversation on that. Personally, multiple decks sound like a good idea. Chromace (talk • contribs) 10:38, October 27, 2013 (UTC)
