Gallifrey Falls No More | Duel Challenge - Defeat the Timelords!


Recommended Posts

If this is the wrong section please feel free to move it, or if it is not even allowed here delete/lock as necessary.

This is a fun challenge I thought I would start running at events I go to (Columbus Regionals, primarily). Sorry if that isnt where you go, but you are free to use the ideas for the challenge yourself.

 

Since the deck is fully functional on YGOPRO, feel free to message me here to challenge it or catch me when I am running it in the USA lobby. (Host Name: DrWho Note: Gallifrey Falls No More Challenge Duel) Additionally, if you so desire, a copy of the deck using proxies can be dueled on DN.

The Timelords are a series of cards from the 5Ds Anime, of which only 2 are released: The fairly ignored Metaion and the Lightsworn's buddy Sephylon. This is because at LEAST 2 of them are considerably OP of not most definitely. Still, who doesnt like losing for fun every once in a while?

(If you are not aware of the Timelords, an explanation of the individual cards and the Archetype as a whole can be found here.)
[spoiler="Rules and Regulations"]

  • TCG Advanced Format (Sans my Timelord Cards)
  • Burn Decks, Exodia Decks, Final Countdown Decks, Decks designed specifically to OTK*, and Decks designed specifically to counter Timelords will not be eligible to participate, or if they do, are not eligible for a prize(s)
  • If you win, I'll write your name on my playmat that I use regularly (And likely won't ever replace) in Gallifreyan, the language of the Timelords. (Only available in in-person duels)**
  • If I win, I write my name in Gallifreyan on your arm in black sharpie. (Also only available in person.)**
  • I am the final judge on the Timelord cards' rulings, you are however free to argue your disagreements, respectfully, which will be highly considered
  • You go first, always.
  • Optional Rule: If I control more monsters than you, you must declare an attack.
  • Optional Rule: If you lose Game 1, you can make the challenge a 2/3 Match, and pick 1 Timelord to apply a Limited status to, in which case I will side in the appropriate number of Timelords not in main use to fill the space. (They aren't very good). If I then lose Game 2, my deck returns to its original state.

*Decks that CAN OTK are allowed (Geargias, Heiratics, Karakuri), however, variants of these built with the full intention and focus of the OTK are not, and will be deemed ineligible for a prize if discovered during the duel.
 
**Prizes are still being considered, these are simply my initial thoughts for fun silly stakes. Please suggest your ideas, if ideas you have.

[spoiler='Additional Banlist']

The following is currently only being considered to be instituted.

 

To make the challenge a bit more difficult, your Deck must comply with the following additional banlist. Please feel free to offer suggestions/removals/additions to this. We want the challenge to be difficult; not impossible, but also not easy.

 

Forbidden

Gravity Bind

Level Limit - Area B

Skill Drain

Neo Spacian Grand Mole

Crimson Blader

 

Limited

Fiendish Chain

 

Semi-Limited

Royal Decree

Kaiser Colosseum

Effect Veiler

Trap Stun

[/spoiler]

 

Please feel free to discuss and make suggestions to/for the challenge, such as what you think may be good, fun prizes, additional or tweaked rules, etc. It would be appreciated if you didnt point out the degeneracy or over-powered-ness the Timelords have or your opinions on them; I know they are ridiculous, but this is meant to be a challenge for fun, like the many Orichalcos challenges that exist(ed).

I beat Z-ONEs Level 10 deck in Tagforce 6. How? A few ways.

BLS.

Anime Cards

No Banlist TG deck. 

Do the math.


But still, it was dang hard. My only beef with the deck is Sandaion.

6. is a bad rule. 

Sadly, I don't have anything to run a timelord duel, and proxies would suck. =\

fairly certain this is ygopro anyway, where you can't proxy stuff.

Well I'm also doing it IRL, but I probably wont allow proxies.

 

Not sure which rule 6 you are referring to as bad, I added one earlier and I dont know if it was before you posted or not.

 

But yeah, BLS is another of the methods of Timelord killing. Chaos Sorcerer as well. But the traps are more readily accessible.

 

[spoiler='And yet we have out methods...']

So first turn he does Photon Sanctuary and make Galaxy Knight. (OK...)

I drop Michion and halve his Life Points like I do.

He drops interstellar dragon and makes Tachyon before Ranking Up. Negates Michion and slams me for 4500.

To which he says "Problem?"

"Nope" "gg" is all I need to say before I drop Raphion and burn him for 4500, the remainder of his Life Points and 500 more. >:D

Arrogant fool.

As it turns out Gallifrey does fall. :P

 

First recorded challenge win is by DysonSlinky with Dyson Sphere.dek (Suspiciously close to my/Bringerofcake's Dyson Sphere deck(s)... :P)

 

Congratulations, mein freund.

 

Negating all my traps was where it really went downhill. Had I had my Torrential Tribute and space to Set it, I may have been able to pull through. But not being able to do anything with my Timelords was a serious challenge, and applause-worthy.

 

Any ideas for what prize could be given over teh interwebz?

Yeah, I pretty much ripped it. Just waiting for a couple specific cards to completely modify it. (looking at you Satellite Base. >.> )

your timelord deck is bad dude :P to much relyance on the timelords and not enough stuff to work with, I didn't even use the timelord traps

they may have great abilites, but you need to remember, they are still weak 0atk monsters, cept for mister killbot 4000.

try shard of greed gold sarc and forbidden chalice. the timelord do buy turns. and shard will give you the draws you need. sarc gets you the timelord you need to have, and chalice can also negate your timelord's deck return effects, and buy you more time. one of the goals of the deck is to cycle out the spells and traps so that all you draw is timelords, and then you can't be stopped easily.  royal decree is a must in that deck. you have to lockdown the opponent's backrow or effect negation will destroy you.

Your review has been achknowledged but ignored.

I would go into details but your post greatly inhibited my rationale with its... ignorance.

and your deck building shows me just how incompetent you are at card games.

 

FYI: Flat out saying a deck is bad is often hurtful and never helps. Its both rude and unwarranted. That said, I somewhat agree with you, the Stage traps at 3 each is too much. But flat out getting rid of them is not always an option. Having the time lords in the grave is a lot more beneficial than you think.

 

That said. Kano. Heres my suggestions for the deck.

Stage 1 Trap: 3 Copies

Stage 2 Trap: 2 Copies

Stage 3 Trap: 1 Copy

 

Having more than this tends to clog from personal experience, and this is the best ratio I've found. Furthermore, You're missing out on a lot of support here. The deck can easily run Celestial Transformation for spamming and have no repurcussions from it. You can swarm with what you discard for the traps with Call and Limit Reverse. You also have Metal Reflect Slime to enable a lot of rank 10 plays. Its a shame Ygopro doesn't have Piri Reis Map and Stonehenge, as Time Lords demolish with them.

 

When I used the deck, I also ran Ante. as you have a plethora of level 10s, you can reveal one and more than likely nuke an opponents card from their hand and deal 1000 damage, then you can just pop that Time Lord out that you had revealed.

First I want to remind people this is not a deck share section, the decklist is merely a resource for challengers.

 

More to the point of your post, I am definitely aware of the support the deck could have, and in fact I do have a Timelord deck which makes use of Celestial Transformation, as well as runs those traps at smaller amounts and the like. But, this is a Timelord challenge specifically, and as such I wanted to

 

A: Use as many and as much of the Timelord cards as possible, while still being playable (I havent had difficulties with clogging of the Timelord traps in my experience, but that may just be lucky testing), and

 

B: I didnt want to make it unbeatable. I could easily be running Royal Decree to knock out threats of Fiendish Chain, Dimensional Prison, and the like. I could easily be running spell cards that can abuse the Timelord's unique situation, and as I said I do in my "usual" Timelord deck. But that hasnt been beaten, and this has so far just enough to be worth attempting to face. 

 

So in conclusion, it is a Themed Deck Challenge, and also not an intentional slaughter. If you want to face my more abusive Timelord deck be my guest, but this is the challenge deck, and will remain as such.

 

The ignorance of werewolfjedi's post and not understanding that put me off from typing this, but Dyson's was much more rational and as such, I was able to respond with this reasoning.

Hey :)

 

I would like to battle against your challange deck.

Would you kindly tell me what game you use (I guess it's YGOPRO, but I want to be sure).

 

VB99

Yes, I do use YGOPro for the most part, but on DN I have a prepared deck using stand-ins as the unreleased cards, and would be happy to supply a list before the duel of which card is which, and explain their effs as I go along.

 

For this duel, if it isnt too much trouble, I would like to test out the currently unofficial supplementary banlist, so if you could have your deck comply to that it would be a great help.

Unofficial supplementary banlist?

 

ok... putting that aside, where do I duel you? YGOPRO or DN (though I didn't find the timelords on DN)...

Like I said, on DN I use proxies, not the actual cards because they arent there.

 

Either is fine, but obviously doing YGOPro takes a lot of preplanning to be on at once, whereas DN can be whenever we both happen to be online.
