I understood, mostly. It was mixture between the posts you both made that sparked my above response, however.

Admittedly I'd be sour if someone was carrying all the meta traps and I wasn't, but in an actual competitive duel, I never would be caught without them. In this, Itaki is nowhere near a pro; Like his CS says, it's a hobby. A hobby he's extremely passionate about that he could possibly improve on; However, he's been adding to his deck and spending money on finding the cards that fit his childhood deck; Even the newest ones, such as the custom card I made; Ancient Gear Manufacturing. He, of course, has spells and traps; But not shutdown ones like solemn or d-barrier. I'll wait until we start revealing decklists, but I don't think anybody is gonna be too upset with my decklist. (Ryougu knows what my usual gears look like as we've dueled. It's basically a lesser version of that)

A personal opinion that has been noted, buddy! But if some players would rather not all-out play to win, that's their decision, and it should be respected. (Not saying that you were attempting to disrespect, just making this clear. A good thing to note for ALL of our players.)
