It wasn't banned before? Well, it's about time. I don't play the game, but I'm well aware of Cyber-Stein's utter absurdity. That thing's ridiculous.

[Perfect Chaos]

I find this hilarious. Almost everyone is now having some form of Cyber-Stein in their decks, even when its not the main focal point of the deck. Whatever, at least the Stein abuse is going to be gone now

[Alucard]

It was a tech card for a cheap win in a lot of decks.

To be totally honest I really don't see it doing much to the game. I can go down the whole list of the the last 2 SJC Top 8 Deck lists and quite easily edit Stein out for something more productive. But that's just me.

Pojo is taking it hard. It's quite amusing how people whine.

How very true. Considering how they are garbage to begin with

Nice to see some things never change.

Posting to say I don't really support downtrodding on other forums, yet can't help but agree. Wonder if they suck at other TCGs as well.

[Alucard]

I shouldn't really talk about Poji since I don't go there and haven't for some months now. From the time I was there though, all I got for my decks was pretty much this:

"9/10! Itz kool! Go r8 mine!"

Give or take a few words. The main reason I don't go there is because I can't stand the staff members or Kevin Tewart XD

It's interesting to see how Upperdeck can add cards to the ban lists whenever the feel fit though. Hmm...

[Silencer]

Ah Pojo, all I go there for is to see the new card of the day. It introduced me to my favourite (and powerful if used correctly) monster.

Meh on Cyber though. Did never like him and I'd say good riddence.

Now if the Monarchs and Cyber Dragon get banned/limited you might even see people think up new decks.

I'd love to see a future where any deck-type can win and where it is very unlikely to run into 2 off the same decks.

[Alucard]

If Cyber Dragon and the Monarch's where taken down to 1, thne the most commonly used deck would probably be Aggro/Dark World/Macro.

[Silencer]

They should even the playing field for all types and attributes. Warriors and Spellcasters have a huge lead, while others struggle for survival such as winged-beasts and plants. Seriously, can anyone recall the names of any plant monster unless u once used a nature deck (like I tried).

I'm such a fan off the underused that it isn't funny anymore. Monsters and S/T that never saw the spotlight but have so much potential. I wish that some more people payed attention to these. Gren Maju Da Eiza (my fav monster), Bad Reaction to Seimochi(introduces to it a while ago), a deck with the underused or non-existant such as plants. I just wish I could make a deck out off these kinds off things that would just be a perfect counter-cookie-cutter-deck.

It is sad that originality goes unrewarded and that uninspired brats with a lot off money can just always win. That's how I feel anyway.

Edit: not ment as a rant

[Perfect Chaos]

Well, sorry if I came out a bit harshly in my last post Roar. I'm not really an anti-Pojo person, but some of the stuff they do irks me.

Like Silencer, I go to their site almost every day to view the new Card of the Day, and I get so annoyed when they rate a card based on its use in the standard CC deck of the current meta. If it its useful, it gets a high rating. If its not, it gets a low rating.

Also, I used to visit their forums as well and post decks to get rated and got responses like so:

"9/10! Itz kool! Go r8 mine!"

Give or take a few words.

And I did truly find it funny how people at Pojo forums were whining how Stein was banned and that now their decks were no good anymore and what not. I mean, the game's all about adjusting to changes in the meta and becoming a better player based of your ability to adjust.

Dandelion, Fairy King Oberon, Fiber Pod, Rigorous Reaper, Killer Tomato, Botanical Lion....

you're an addict, you don't count. I ment to say that go ask players that come on on places 5-8. Mot of the time I think they just copy decks but a few might not.

Could be totally wrong since I live in Belgium and we only got one tournament like a year or 2 ago XD

Lolz.

I put "Plant" in a search box on one of my programs and it lists them all. Those I mentioned are the only decent/semi-decent ones.
