Fun and originality - Shuriken
Hey guys, Shuriken here. Unfortunately, I'm not here to add new deck ideas (see previous tips). I'm here to basically ask one question. Why does everyone play the same deck? To answer this, I have surveyed 50 players in my NH area.
 
The answer is always, because they want to win. I hate that answer. Whoever said, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing!", must've been on crack. I'm sick of Chaos decks, because I fight nothing but Chaos decks. Losing is a part of the game, if u can't take losing, stop playing right now. The game is supposed to be fun. If you aren't having fun, your not grasping the point of the game. That's what CCG's and TCG's are for. Same goes for stealing, it's a piece of cardboard, it's not worth stealing. Not to brag, but I'm pretty much the detective of my store, if a theft goes down, IO can solve it within 30 minutes. I've gotten over $300 store credit for helping to cleanse the area of thieves and cheaters, and I've booted out over 20 people, for life. I really hate to do it, but I have to bust the crime sprees because it's just so stupid to steal shiny cardboard. If you don't have a card you want, use a similar card. For example, if u don't have a Call of the Haunted, you can use the New AST card Soul Ressurection, which gets a monster back, but if defense mode instead of attack mode.
 
Back to originality, I'm not trying to get people angry at me, I'm just saying let's add some spice to the game. Don't ask if your deck is worthy for regionals, because then you'll have a cookie-cutter deck, which has no originality. If your gonna put your deck on a message board for rating, don't do everything they say, it just makes your deck less original. This may sound corny, but put your heart in your deck. If u have a favorite card, go ahead and use it, no matter what it is. Put in the cards that you want to use, and play test. If it doesn't work, fix your deck so it does work. Seriously guys, I really would like to see a lot of replies, sending me some of your original deck ideas, because if we take away the fun in the game, by borrowing someone else's deck completely, the game would be pointless. That was it is after all, a game, and there's no shadowrealm to take our souls. Don't be angry about losing a few times, no one wins all the time. Hell I've lost plenty of times, but now that I found a deck that works for me, I win a lot more than I used to, but I have some losses still. Remember when u play a cookie-cutter deck, your happy because you win, not happy because your using cards you want. Then when u lose, u want to kill the person you COPIED, because the deck lost. If your gonna lose, lose with your cards.
