Re: the emphasis on high level monsters:
If it's scripted duels, I think there are enough ways to get around the problem on its own, and it gives room for the deck to grow if the board gets broken. I'd like to run 3 copies of Masked Dragon if that remains an issue, but you've already cited your dislike for running triples, so I decided against it for this iteration.

In any case, uh... What's the topic of choice for today?
