Forum:Infernity OTK... JEEEEZUZ MAN!

I was playing at my local YGO store where there were other dudes. One ran a frogmonarch deck, the other, Infernity OTK. So I dueled them both and got killed everytime except once. The point? Infernity OTK decks are expensive as hell and you make the deck and never lose. The only commons I saw him play were Trap Stun and infernity necromancer. Everthing else was as shiny and holo as you can see. He sported..
 * 2 Infernity barriers. $190.99
 * 3 Infernity Archfiends. $60-80
 * 2 Dark Grephors. $10
 * 2 Infernity Guardians. $10
 * 1 Infernity Inferno. $1
 * 3 Infernity launchers. $60-80
 * 3 Mist Wurms. $60


 * What's my point? Only the rich people will be winning and playing the card game in the next year and a half or so. Seriously, they are only pieces of paper and cardboard with shiny pictures. They shouldn't be worth more than $1.00 a card, Holo or not. some people wish to play the card game without spending $100 dollars a week, cause the rich players can. Anybody here sees my point in this matter or is anybody actually rich enough to afford the expensive cards? Just saying. Adamtheamazing64 16:26, June 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Where are you getting your prices? Infernity Barrier is only $15-20 each, maximum. Archfiends plummeted down to $10 each, due to their release in Gold Series 3. Grephers are actually about $15, while Guardian is almost worthless. Launcher is also hovering at around $17-20 each, since it's expected to be Limited in the upcoming format. Lastly, I'm relatively sure that Mist Wurm doesn't go for more than $5.00 a piece.


 * Anyway, yes Infernities are amazing right now. However, with great power comes great "getting slaughtered by the Forbidden and Limited lists". Remember good old Lightsworns, and their turn 2 Judgment Dragons? Don't see those much anymore, do we? Lumina and Charge of the Light Brigade went from $10 and almost $40 respectively, now down to less than $5 each.


 * On my last note, I do agree that the U.S. has a way of making certain archetypes like Lightsworn, Saber, and Infernities their "money-child". In Japan, the $20 Infernity Mirage is a common. I personally am waiting for the Forbidden and Limited lists to unleash their wrath on Infernities (Launcher is most likely going to 1, and Archfiend possibly to 1-2), so that I can play them myself without burning my wallet, and because I actually care about the strategy of the deck, not the win potential. I ran Infernities BEFORE THE SHINING DARKNESS WAS ANNOUNCED. Yeah.--Akiza Izayoi 16:36, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Same here, I saw potential of Infernities before TSHD with other cards that work iwth zero hand like Flash Assailant and Rope of Life. I talk to the guy that used the deck and he said that all they are good for are OTkilling. I was jaw dropped at the statement. The game isn't just about winning, but also having fun builing your own deck, not copying off a top tier recipe. It's going to be a drag tommorow at Chicago's World Championship when I see everybody using Frog Monarchs, Infernity OTK, and Batteryman OTK. Anything that is OTK is apparently tournament worthy. :( Adamtheamazing64 18:01, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Batteryman OTK isn't that good... It does lack in consitancy to pull off the OTK, since Short Circuit isn't exactly searchable. Then again, I haven't exactly faced them in a while.--Akiza Izayoi 18:07, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

You're right, that is a little uncommon, but with Wattcube powering up Thunder monsters, they could have a come back in tournaments. Adamtheamazing64 18:11, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

We'll just have to see. For now, all I can say is that I can't wait until the September Forbidden and Limited lists.--Akiza Izayoi 18:15, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Oh right, I forgot about that. that's when someone will start using naturia becuase everything else will be screwed over, also, after seeing the major update in the STBL list, it looks like Watts are also going to be the next big thing, as long as Konami doesn't use it for money making purposes aswell as the Infernities.
