40 is obviously the best...


EXCEPT perhaps in a deck like gadgets, where drawing a gadget will hurt you. in that case, since gadgets run so many similar cards, i see it perfectly fine to bump it to 42 to prevent from drawing into a gadget.

So to wrap things up... 40 is the best, except when it isn't?

Lol @ people saying amber necro'd this thread when them thereself posted here.

40 is best. Period. LS should run 40. Gadgets should run 40.

you obviously know nothing about 2 things.

a) what "necro"ing a topic is.

b) draw ratios. Do you remember a few years ago when 5th Gadget grapeed japan's meta? I do. Do you remember how many cards that deck ran? and why?

[kId dynam0]

I know what necro'ing a topic is. You could of just reported the topic instead of posting.

And no I don't. I wasn't playing back then and I don't want to know, that deck would lose horibly to anything now

[drew]

You suggest that we simply report a topic?

Please tell me what a mod would do when this topic gets reported. They wouldn't delete it, as its one of the best articles etc has ever seen. They wouldn't lock it, bc despite the random necros it gets, it continues to be a viable discussion. Maybe they move it to articles archives, but even then that method fails to point #2. So what would reporting it do other than waste the time of the mods?

And btw, 5th gadget wrecked the meta by running 45 cards, just to preserve draw ratios.

It was the gadget deck's most prominent time, and it ran more than 40.

[kId dynam0]

The mods could just delete ambers one post, you know.

[drew]

it wouldnt have prevented the bump.


regardless, lets get back to being on topic.

I personally cant run more than 40 (ocd i guess) in a deck unless I can rationalize it, like I can in LS or gadgets.

You also don't seem to know what Necro'ing is, like I said before there was a post above me, I remember because I saw this topic bumped, it was on the main page of the forums of etc. That means that someone else necro'ed not me, of course I don't care if you believe me or not, blame me if that makes you feel good.

Seeing how this topic is aliveish again. A guy topped my regional with a 52 card deck. So much for your 40.

It could be luck.

[Nomad]

Maybe he's born with it?

Seriously though, I'm curious to know what kind of deck it was, because I think that'd matter quite a bit.

All that tells me is that either he's lucky, or the competition in his area is pretty bad.

Fact: I once won a tournament with a 138-card deck.

Doesn't mean forty isn't the most rational way to do it.
