One can win....

without an extra deck.

This is a deck I used in test.

Ay suggestions will be appreciated.

However, it would help you greatly if you had an Extra Deck.

First up, it's best to have 3 Pot of Duality, it just helps sometimes. Also goes with Secret Village, Grimoire and Royal Decree, you need 3 of each.

If you have monsters that aren't Spellcasters in there, there's no point in adding Solidarity, and United We Stand is also a bit meh.

I don't like the Charmers either. Perhaps the Possessed Charmers are okay, but the flip effect Charmers won't last 5 mins against Dark Worlds and Inzektors.

Dark Magician Girl is pretty pointless too, just there as a beatstick.

If you want DARKs for BLS, add Doomcaliber Knight, that's pretty good. I'd take out the 2 Necro Gardna (as they will banish themselves, making them useless for BLS, and you have no easy way of ditching them).

Finally, I'd remove 1 Necronomicon book and add 1 Torah.

That should work.

And it turns out you aren't that awesome after all.

Whaddya mean?

Well, apparently all people care about is win:loss ratio and win condition. Originality became more and more ignored....and this game isn't a game anymore, it's a race for power.

Are you not a man!?
DMG Is the model of the game!

You've kinda taken it to the extreme, the people who do run meta etc only do it because other people do, we all have fun decks for fun duels, but those aren't the memories you share...

Well, I admit, I confronted too many meta decks, so I am a little mind warped.....

Rei is right, the game is mainly about winning now, decks that lack strategy, just the same boring moves over and over, all autopilot decks. I remember the time that everyone used strong decks that forced you to think on your feet, like Quasar. Losing to a Quasar deck is fun, because trying to figure out how they're gonna Quasar and how to stop it is fun.

But, perhaps, as Yami said, that is a bit extreme. You want people to stop using cookie-cutter decks? You use a deck that's stronger than a meta deck but doesn't run on autopilot and is also fun to use and face (because you need to consider your opponent too, otherwise it's basically just another of the same with a different strategy). Yami, you saw my Tele-DAD deck yesterday, what did you think of that?

I nearly beat a Wind-Up deck, and I could have if they didn't have Veiler, but, the best duelists don't give in when they feel that they can't duel much longer, they keep fighting to find the deck that can resurrect this game to the standards of the last banlist. Do you know what I mean?

Hoorah for you losing the point!
Rei is sick of meta, and thinks that's all you do, I then told her that we all have original decks.

And I'm telling you both that there's no way to get rid of meta unless you make something better...

We already know, that... I miss my dark magician....

As in, you miss using playing him? Yeah, I miss mah Sephylon.

But, we can only get our freedom when we fight our way through 'til September, then see what that brings us.

Yeah the banlist must work for a change.
Fat chance...
