How does one counter a deck without playing specific cards for it? Do you have decks set up to fight certain archtypes? Like you know what an archtype does but that doesn't necessarily help you that much, other than maybe knowing what the boss monster is. Doesn't everyone use "the beat it till its dead" mentality? I mean isn't your deck's objective the same regardless of your opponents. Question is up for anyone btw. :D

@Eklispe

Heres how one counters EVERY DECK

Amorphages (just ask Scar after I showed him how broken the archetype is if played right (if it makes the old powerhouse decks look tame AND can turn sataller into a crap deck yea its kinda broken))

now then you was saying?

So unless I turn my characters into base level duelists after all the work I've put into my posts and my characters I'm getting kicked out? I'm sorry but that doesn't seem fair. It's not like they're using their knowledge to their advantage. They're not breakout super stars and both of them have only been in one duel and Ben won by the skin of his teeth by drawing out his queen. I can't fault Andre's one duel because he had no way out of the situation other than ramming your character's monsters.

If that's truly the case I will back out gracefully but I honestly don't think I'm doing anything wrong here. I haven't displayed any sign of trying to be OP. The most I've given is the aforementioned King Artorgius. If it wasn't for him Ben would've lost the duel right then and there and Artorgius at this stage is a real overwhelming obstacle. The reason I am refusing to change the depth of their knowledge all the way down to beginner as a GM myself seems far fetched. If you want to know WHY Andre is so dead on specific about keeping knowledge on in his head then I'll tell you in a private message. It's not like he's a super genius it's sheer determination and his unwavering disgust with having more main stream decks that keep certain things in mind. If he was playing against a junk deck (not synchrons), or amazons he'd not know how to counter them and rely on his archfiends to power through which would just put him in a hard place. I won't bother to speak about Ben because his response to anything has always been to try and get it out of there with his queen or by Rank 5 Artorgius leaving cards like Beelze to wipe him out. Andre and Ben haven't played against the following archetypes: Amazons, Harpies, Jurracs, Hazy Flame, Elemental Heroes, Neo-Spacians, Hunders, Steelswarm, BLS-Super Soldier, and Gishki. They also haven't seen Dark Magician, battle boxers, or normal pendulum monsters before (Decks that rely on effectless Pendulum summoning). Granted none of us actually play those archetypes but those are indeed the stuff they haven't seen and don't know how to counter without relying on their usual 'bash the thing until it's dead' mentality.

@vancexentan

That is a very small amount of archetypes considering how many their are.

Just saying

@Ammokkx

Vincent doesn't know exactly how to Synchro summon barely fusion and a little Xyz.

Why? because he knows how to stop them happening (kill the materials to kill the resultant)

Vincent Gulfus

Vincent decided that at the end of the day standing around would just get him nowhere. Nobody of great interesting walked in, not even that Tsukiko girl whom seemed a little petty interested him. The brown haired guy just let out a sigh as he decided to find a seat to sit on before the lesson truly began and he learned a summoning technique he already knew or well thought he knew, He played this game in his youth after all. 'Kill the tuner Kill the Synchro, or somehow block the summoning with a bottomless trap hole or something' Vincent thought remembering back to his match against Leander. Never the less that was in the past and Vincent hoped he come somehow get a match today as well, Someone had to sate his hunger for battle.

Vincent sat down on one of the bench's looking to his left he noticed a girl with a red tie and what seemed a presence of mischief. He had been silent all morning without talking to anyone, So Vincent just decided to talk out of boredom if not anything else. "Hey their Miss, I guess your in my class" Vincent said with a grin on his face as he made his introduction. His eyes betraying nothing about his blood-lust but instead just mellow with happiness to finally talk to some human being. "So how was your first few days, if you didn't mind me asking because well mine were great." Vincent said with a wide toothed grin as he wondered what the red tied individual would respond with.

Don't question Ignia aight

Ignia Nosfera

Ignia bowed "Thank you sir" in response to being allowed to change her course, after the principal finished what they was saying and motioned at their nurse to escort them out. Ignia decided to scoot she was hyped already and didn't need telling to go to her first turbo duelling lesson. (albeit her duel disc wasn't really compatible... great.) With Excitement betraying her face she was running to elevator to try and descend as quickly as possible. the wait of the elevator seemed a little antagonizing but it calmed her down and bit and she exited with a simple walk. Walking down the entrance hall. Ignia opened her D-Ciever to check the location of the turbo duelling area.

A few moments later she put the D-Ciever away her eyes looking at a building in the distance. She began her short trek over to the track. a short well dressed speck on the desert sands. That moved with almost fiery purpose towards a place they had never been to. Ignia acknowledge she hadn't ate the s'morning, she was probably going to keel over in pain later. hopefully she could eat before then. Ignia shuddered at the thought. Pushing it to the back of her mind as she walked towards the garage, the place the students where instructed to go on the D-Ciever.

Ignia saw the teacher, whom pointed at where the students where meant to go. Of course Ignia was resisting the basic instinct to tell the teacher they were a 6/10 (too old). She managed to resist it for long enough to put the teacher out of her vision. muttering under her breath "6/10." before Ignia proceeded to noticed someone in particular, T'was someone in a hood yes but Ignia knew that body shape. walking over Ignia spoke up with a sing song voice "Hey Ethel!" She cried with excitement in her voice, before changing to her intellectual one. "I guess you're here for turbo dueling as well I see" Ignia said her voice changed back to her regular one. "Guess your beat some people today eh?" Ignia said her eyes glowing with anticipation.

Vincent Gulfus

Vincent had been eating his breakfast alone away from all the excitement in the morning due to the fact he was a little tired. he had to admit that it was a little boring but oh well. Peaceful breakfast equates to the most nutritional start to the day of course, so it didn't really bother him that much in the long term. Never the less through all the brooding and watching of other people, Vincent D-Ciever finally vibrated with a notification of the first lesson, It was a synchro lesson, A style of summoning his deck didn't really preform at all. Vincent sighed under his breath as he got up and went to the elevator in order to travel up. he was in there with a few other students heading the same way as the Elevator ascended. Soon he arrived at the synchro classroom. Stepped inside and the first thing he did was eye the teacher with curiosity.

They looked so average. Vincent stood by the entrance just eying the room wondering if anyone would walk past worth talking to.
