Subject: yet another rant on originallity, only with
a twist.-Fiber Jar Maniac
Okay, This is fiber jar maniac. I am really pissed
today, because I got a lame project topic for GT
studies, so this article will probably be a
little...angry.... Instead of writing about
underused cards, I am going to rant on originality,
like so many of you out in the Pojo world.
Okay, I admit it. I run a Traditional Chaos Deck. If
you do, great for you. I happen to love chaos. My
article today is about originality. ALL THE
ORIGINALLITY! Not 'lack of originallity'! Normally
when people post originallity topics on the fan
space, it whines about the 'lack of it' and then
they post an 'original' deck. BUT! What do all these
decks have in common? Staples.
Breaker,exiled,smashing,sangan,saku,widespread. In
every deck. If you call that original, than I will
eat my collection of Fiber Jars and tear down my
shrine. Also, you noobs out here are always
complaining about originallity. Then you send in
your cookie-cutter deck, and since you replaced a
magician of faith with mask of darkness to get back
your saku, you call it original. What I am trying to
say is that STAPLES ARE NOT NECESSARY TO MAKE A
WINNING DECK! Really! There are more 'original' ways
to make a good deck. try replacing that Breaker with
a Slate Warrior, and then just put in dust tornado,
or nobleman of extermination! Take out sangan, and
replace it with an elemental sercher! Take out
Exiled and put in hammer shot! Same with smashing!
Compulsuary exacuation device works just as well, if
not better, than saku! And even if you do run these
staples, don't lie about your deck being 'original'.

-to all those noobs who I flamed: I stand by my
flames! Make better decks next time!
