Subject: RANT on Beatdown rants RANT - eViLfRoStY
OK I and plenty of other people are sick and tired of these miserable excuses for rants on Beatdown decks. All of them contain the same crap saying that "they have no originality, even a monkey could play that deck and win", "they take all variety out of the game and its just La Jinn, Dark Elf, Summoned Skull, 7 Colored Fish, etc." Well I got news for you people. The reason people play these is cuz the cards are good. If your deck has good cards, then you win. And I hate to burst your bubbles, but over 3/4 of the people that play play to win, and it's only fun to them if they win.
 
They all have the same little strategy and the same cards, BECAUSE THOSE CARDS ARE GOOD!! If cards are good, then people use them! Thats how TCGs work. The one thing about Yu-Gi-Oh is that some cards are just plain better than others and theres no way you can argue against them. You have to be pretty dumb to not realize that it takes the same number of tributes for monsters level 4 and below, but yet some are just plain better. I dont even have to give examples, but if one monster not requiring tributes has 1800 attack and 1000 defense, and one has 1500 attack and 1000 defense, which one would you expect to see in a deck? Exactly.
 
Thats why people play beatdown. Originality exists in very few TCGs. If you can find a deck that is better than the best deck currently out, the good for you. Then that deck will be the one played by everyone. Until then its just whoever has the best cards that wins. Cards are the best for a reason. When better cards come out, then they are in the deck and something worse is out. If your willing to lose a lot of duels on your way to finding what can beat the current best deck, then go for it. Otherwise shut up about it.
