Shouldn't You be scrubbing Somewhere?

Time and Time again, we see Theme decks lose to Stronger theme decks that have more support.

Creative Decks on the other hand, do have their occasional wins , but they are too few.

What makes a Tourney?

Is it the People who enter?

The Number of Competitive Decks?

The Number of Free Frags?

The Pairings?

Or just Someone holding up a tradition of having a Tournament for Card games like Yugioh.


Overall, we tend to forget that Tournaments ( short term: Tourney or Tournies.) Mean different things to people.

It reveals a person's true nature in some cases, while in other cases it teaches you something new.

Lets be honest.

Humans are COMPETITIVE Beings who want to Win because its pleasurable.

Even if one denies it, after much removal of layers and layers of the "ideology of self" , he or she will find that measure of competitiveness.

Is it bad to be Competitive? No.

Is it a crime to lie and say that you don't join Tournies because their are too competitve? Maybe.

I find it interesting that a person from the sidelines sees things differently from a person on the Tournament table.

After filming for a long time, you see things from the camera's view, a Neutral Viewpoint where you side neither of the 2 duelists competing for that 1st Prize.

Seems strange, but after a long day, if you're not prepared physically or mentally you start to make misplays that escape your attention.

Examples:

Activating your face down Bottomless trap Hole thinking it was Waboku in Response to Your opponent's Shura attacking your Retiari. You then realise that you didn't have Waboku, you used it the turn before.

Or even

Forgetting to Drop Gorz !!!!!


So its time to lighten the post up now that everyone is taking it so seriously with .......


Things to do in Tournaments or big events:

Bring deck ( Easy)

Bring Entry fee ( Easy)

Hydrate consistently ( Medium)

Don't duel hungry ( Note  : Hungry is not a person, just eat something light before Tourney starts.)

Check your cards after every match ( Opponent could have your card when he brain controlled it ! =O)

Be a Nice person ( Abit hard for some people, but just don't be a jackass .)

Be gracious after a loss ( DO NOT WHACK OPPONENT FOR WINNING YOU!)

Behave like how you want others to treat you ( In other words : Don't be a Jackass!)

Learn Something! ( Watching other players games so long as you don't interupt or disrupt it can teach you new tactics!)

Now thats a Long list of things to make sure of right?

So lets talk about decks then!

Decks have not be accurately defined outside of being a tool that you use to play the game.

Decks by right consists of themes.

And by talking about themes we have sub-themes and alot of things I don't feel like typing about!

So we go into the Competitive Scene where we see decks that consistently win being called Competitive Decks.

So we now have:

Creative Decks

Competitive Decks

and Theme decks.

However, do you know that by closely looking at the above 3 types of decks, there is only 1 by right : Theme .


Competitive decks like Blackwings or Lightsworn are theme decks that have alot more support than most decks. Their constant winning and pwning creates a mental image that twists the theme into something more.

So all in all , Theme decks are actually the only ones existing. We the players made up the Competitive decks and Creative decks in our own mental aspects.

Still, it is fun to draw distinction between the 3 decktypes.
