Deck Master Format

First topic message reminder :

The Rules:

Spoiler:

If anyone would be interested in playing this format, please post here. I think this would make for a very fun DGA tournament as well.

*EDIT* the rules have been updated.

DM format doesn't really need to ban a lot of the cards since 16000 LP and 60 cards really hurts a lot of them and makes them less effective while others like the Pot of Greed, Grace, Witch of the BForest simply aid in consistency of the 59 individual card decks.

It was a response to you, Allanpike.

@TheRuler: REDMD was not banned as a DM because it didn't receive the 3 necessary votes to be banned, where as big fish did. Both REDMD and LaDD are still being tested for fairness however and should players come to the consensus that they are indeed unfair they will be banned.

this does look quite interesting... i dont even kno what this site is

This format was designed after the Magic: The Gathering format of Commander, formally known as Elder Dragon Highlander. This model has been proven to be a fun, fair, and relatively balanced format, where games typically are on the longer side and the more skillful player wins. The reason why 8000 LP and minimum of 40 card decks is less skillful is because in yugioh, since there is no resource system, players can drop threats far more consistently and easily than they can in any other card game, by doubling the LP total and maxing out your available main deck space you create a situation where it becomes incredibly difficult for a player to just sack into an OTK situation, which is the kind of game that for most people isn't very fun.

If you want crazy combos, play advanced. If you want to try something totally different, try DM format. You're welcome to start up your own thread with your own ideas if you so choose.

I mean Sirfunch has hit the Nail on the head. If you seek to have your style of play, then by all means create your system and post it. Funch has his set of ideas and wants to try it and it does seem like it would be fun. All this talk of combo reliant is based on the parameters after the thing has actually been set up. we cant squabble over something that isnt even known yet.

And there are ways to set up combos anyhow, this is yugioh we have a multitude of deck searchers/thinners/whathave you.

If a mod would clean this thread up of all the arguing and stuff that would be awesome.

Also as an update the following cards have been banned because they create an un-fun game state or give one player far too much of an advantage:

Confiscation
Delinquent Duo
The Forceful Sentry
Painful Choice

Destiny HERO - Disk Commander has been banned.

All monsters that can be Normal Summoned can now be a Deck Master. The level cap was removed to add to the diversity of the metagame.

"When a Deck Master would be removed from the field it can be banished again, in this case it may not be summoned again on your next turn."

Does D.D. Survivor still come back on my next turn or not?
Because usually Card Effects > Rules , but that would be pretty dumb.

Even if not, D.D. Survivor seems to be really stupid.

Honestly, the only reason why the Deck Masters go to the Banished Zone is because on Dueling Network there is no space for a "Deck Master Zone". This is why there are lots of rulings where cards that affect the Banished Zone cannot affect your Deck Master. When played IRL the Deck Master is normally placed to the left of the Extra Deck.

I will clarify the rulings to make this an easier concept to understand, but in short, no, D.D. Survivor and Scout Plane will not come back during the End Phase.

Ok , no D.D. Survivor abuse for me.
Thanks for the anwer bro.


But what happens with Rescue Rabbit?
Does he banish himself to the Deck Master Zone?

Yeah any DM that would be removed from the field can be placed in the DM Zone (banished zone on DN) instead.
