Forum:Deck Guide

Deck Guide Project
As you all know (hopefully), Bluedog, Blue-Eyes White Kid, and I have started a page where we help create/edit decks submitted to us on our page. While on this page, a user (Phoenixdrakenfire), suggested that, as experienced deck builders, we could create guides for those who are less skilled. These deck guides would be in depth guides, written by experienced duelists/deckbuilders, that describe how to use/build a type of deck such as Dinosaur, Yubel, Diamond Dude Turbo, and many others (hybrids would go under their strongest base. ex - Twilight would go under Lightsworn). The guides would explain how a deck works, their strengths and weaknesses, and would provide different examples and variants of the deck type. These guides would hopefully be in the forums under their own section (similar to Weekly Deck Contest or the Duel Terminal) and would have a designated area for duelists to post their own ideas to further better the guides. If you've been invited here it means that I think that your deckbuilding/knowledge is of a high enough standard that it should be used by duelists all of the globe. Would you be interested in helping? Please understand that this will be a massive undertaking. --Tantara 00:45, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, most of the Deck Builders have left. I'll update Psychics and Chaos (I thought I had modified it already). Gladiator Rabbits are dumb and not any good-HERO Gladiators are far superior and so are standard Gladiators. As for the other ones, should we ask permission to edit them?

 * A third of the original guide writers have left wiki. Most are still here tough. -- - Dark Ace SP™ ( Talk )  16:00, November 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Could I possibly have permission to redo your main page? Its really cluttered up. And I could do what we did on WDC. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  19:22, November 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Saying your ok with me changing the look of the page. Could you also tell me what guides need improvements? Unless Resk listed all of them, or which you have already updated. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  20:37, November 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Go ahead. Why did you remove the poll from the Blackwing Guide? I was thinking we could have a poll on every guide in order to see how helpful they were. Basically, every guide not written by me or Lappyzard is from earlier formats and needs updating (Lappy's might, I don't remember, but he can update those himself). To update a guide, make a page Forum:Deck Guide/DECKTYPE/1 BF2  Talk  Deck Guides 20:47, November 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think the General Guide needs to be more prominent, as it's the most important one. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 22:18, November 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 22:24, November 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you want it in a template box by itself or I can make the wording on the section bright as well. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  01:35, November 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Or name it under a section labeled General Advice? -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  01:36, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

"Spirit needs more Houoh"? Is it really that good, seeing that it only picks off set S/Ts? --Gadjiltron (talk • contribs) 03:27, November 19, 2011 (UTC)
