Forum talk:Deck Guide/Macro


 * Good attempt, but I have an issue with it. You do not explain sufficiently why specific cards are chosen, what their qualities are, and what are their drawbacks. You've gotta give the reader a list of cards, essentially, with pros and cons, and allow them to decide which ones to add, and in what amounts. It's not enough describing the card, and giving a tip about it. Far from it. You must explain how that card fits in the deck, which role it covers, how it interacts with the deck and the opponent's cards. For instance:


 * D.D. Survivor. One of the basic cards in Macro decks, his name says it all. If it was face-up, then removed from play, it is Special Summoned from the Removed Zone during the End Phase. So, unless if you Set him, while Macro Cosmos, Dimensional Fissure or a similar effect is active, this card will always come back! This allows for continuous Tribute fodder, a decent defensive wall, even a good attack force, since 1800 ATK are a force to be reckoned with. Alas, poor DEF and its plain uselessness when no remove-from-play effects are active can make it a dreadful top-deck when you have a bad hand. Still, it is more useful than it is a dead draw, a real must for any Macro Deck.

This is what I think every card description should look like. This is the only way the new deckbuilder will get a good slice of the picture, because the whole picture is in playing the deck. Saying "D.D. Survivor:, " simply does not cut it. I know it's a lot of work to describe every card, but if I can do it, so can you. --Darth Covah (Talk | Contribs) 19:20, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
