Not really that much. I only saw one tournament deck listed as using it. It's still almost all blue-eyes skills. Idk why anyone would use it with Balance since it's already consistent enough. To make the skill work with it, your deck has to be gigantic, too. So, it's actually worse imo. I prefer Master of Fusion for my blue-eyes.

Everybody was playing starting hand manipulation. Just give us a new skill.

You start your hand with 4 tuner monsters. We just need this.

If it's about balance, where were you before then? It's nothing new. Funny how all this daily whining only started when one deck that is really good almost only uses it for their skill.

People already started to hate balance since a year ago when DM abuses it. Just that DM was not as broken as NK and they have decided to limit DM cards instead of banning balance. At any point of time starting hand manipulation is a can cer.

Dm playstyle was like cheating with balance. However, dm decks needed a turn to set their field and if circle was gone they was an auto loss. On the other hand nk can be explosive in their first turn. Going 1st or 2nd is the same for them.
A good nerf for balance could be "you can't summon any moster in your first turn", just like the nerfing of "duel stand by".

DM still got a lot of play with destiny draw, sealed tombs, born from earth, master of rites, etc. compared to noble knights with balance. So it wasn't as big a thing. Book of moon could be a different story (no pun intended) for balance.

Your starting hand will reflect the card balance of your deck. This Skill will not activate unless you have at least 6 of each type of card (Monster, Spell, and Trap) in your Deck. You start the duel with 1000LP.

This skill will be absolutely broken if it can be played in TCG.

So why 0 tier decks use it atm? This skill atm only helps some rogue/kpg worthy decks to be, at least, competitive.

You can also use it to prevent yourself from getting a bad opening hand.

In any monster card game, consistency is key. Not trying to improve your consistency is a really dumb move.

It's not broken, you're just salty you lost to someone whose deck is more consistent while you refuse to make your deck more consistent.

Yea, in any real card game we try to make deck more consistent with actual deck building strategy (choosing cards, utilizing resources) not by 'fixing' the RNG with something called a 'skill'

<< Anonymous

That's still important here even with Balance.

You're not going to be able to use Balance unless you choose your cards/resources carefully so that your deck can activate Balance.

Nah, we just put our most expensive cards together and let computer do all the works

Anonymous 12days ago

heh everyone using balance these days: triamid, aromage, noble knight, satellarknight, etc. If they can't build a deck of 20 cards by themselves I can't imagine what they would do in tcg.

Well at least konami will put an eye on it again, closer to a nerf to render it useless

The worst out of all is NK. In triamid defense though, I would say that the 20 cards version still works the best, and in this case balance won't be that useful since monsters and field spells dominate the deck anyway. The sad thing is that they're forced to add more and more staples to counter those insane meta on the ladder, can't really blame them for using balance

I am confused about the balance ruling. I keep seeing Noble knight decks that always have more spells than traps. Sometimes only just six traps in a 30 card deck. I thought it had to have a certain ratio of equality for it to even guarantee you start with monsters, spells, and traps?

Yea, hope Konami will nerf it to "This Skill will not activate unless you have at least 6 of each type of card - with different names (6 different monsters, 6 different spells, and 6 different traps), in your Deck.

They nerfed balance earlier but it is still the most used skill now. Every single user know that this is currently the most broken skill. Starting hand manipulation should not be allowed.

No, this skill is indeed broken with a 6/6/6 ratio. Trust me you will see Shiranui using this after the next banlist.

ofc that's a pattern we have seen since the beginning of DL; if your decks gets hit by the banlist or just sucks move to a "Balance" build.

This skill should be gone forever.
