Subject: What if everyone did this?- Clayton

I am NOT going to beat around the bush. I am not going to sweet talk you. And I am not going to apoligise.
All I have to say is this: the tournament enviornment is STALE! So far, almost every deck I paly is a carbon copy of the deck I played last! Wheres the origianality?
What can we do to keep the tournament enviornment alive, you might say! Well, there is only one word for what you can do to be original: Metagame.
To make a new deck, all we have to do is build a deck that beats popular decks and voila, a new deck! It dosen't have to be very good, but its a start. Then, you playtest. A lot. You play aganst the decks your good aganst and the decks your deck has problems with. Then you tweak your deck. Then do the whole thing all over again. Its really that simple. Wash, rinse, repeat. Soon, you have the game breaking deck, sweep a tournament, and Upper Deck bans the spine of your deck.
Then you do it all over again. The last few parts really bug Upper Deck, because they either have to ban every single card you touch, or invent some new card that kills you.
What if everyone did this? Then Yu-Gi-Oh would be as stragestic as Magic! Think of how great the game would be then!
