Forum talk:Deck Guide/Gladiator Beasts

My Opinion
Fair attempt at it. Very good, actually, but there are some points that hit me very badly: "Unfair Forbidden & Limited Lists" - why oh why did you put that there? Articles should be objective and impersonal, so "Unfair Lists" is not very article-like, is it? Second, you forget one very basic thing: who you address the guide to: Expert and Average deckbuilders will turn to the guide, but only to get some minor hits and tips, not understand how to build the deck. So your main audience is new deckbuilders, who have absolutely no idea why on earth you did not recommend that Gladiator Beast's Battle Halberd, that saved them many a time? It is our card selection criteria that allows us to correctly choose cards, and if we were to analyze one thing about a deck, and only that, I'd choose card selection criteria. For instance, you'd have to say:

Gladiator Beast Murmillo

 * This fishy little fella allows you to get rid of an opponent's monster when Special Summoned by the effect of another GB. With such removal power, one would expect Murmillo to be on equal, if not higher ground than Gladiator Beast Bestiari - but that is not the case, since its abysmal stats and inability of use when drawn into force GB players to run them in just one to two copies, so as to minimize chances of drawing into one. Nevertheless, Murmillo is a basic card in the GB toolbox's arsenal.


 * This is what I suggest, for each and every card in the pool. And yes, I'll do that too, with Lightsworn and all its variations (Lightsworns, Twilight, ZombieSworn, RitualSworn). --Darth Covah (Talk | Contribs) 21:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
