I certainly understand that feeling and respect it. I kept trying to buy singles for my friends that had cards I couldn't find until pretty recently, and I've known them for years now. I didn't want to not be able to give something in return, but sometimes they just didn't need anything. And as taste changes, it's not rare to see cards make the circuit in trades and end up back with the original owner. Pretty funny.

My main deck right now actually just happens to have some Water cards in it, but isn't a Water build. Once I get back to a Water Build, I'm hoping to be able to still use Formless, though.

I had briefly tried a control deck a long time ago where I used Nanase to control gauge and Runaway Female Ninja to nullify Main Phase spells. While I was able to use Heat Haze to help Runaway Female stay on the board, I really wanted to be able to do the same with Nanase and still hate that they only used the Water attribute. I'm hoping Formless can help in myriad ways since it's so simple to get him back from the drop. But right now, my main deck is really built around the original Byakuya and I'm fiddling with both Ghoul's, and even Chaotic to see what I enjoy the most.

The one I have that seems to pretty much build itself is the Blade Beast deck. I was missing Mikazuki for that one and Ghoul's IM for the other when a friend was able to give me playsets of both. Talk about crazy!

We have a small but really fun group and three of them just got back from Regionals. They all did well, with one of them making the top 8. In the Spring, one of the others barely missed the top 8 because of the lame point system and I'm happy they changed it this time. Even the head judge had told him he'd make it, but people that had been knocked out had taken off and he didn't get the chance for points. Seems to happen to too many people.

It's awesome that I get to learn from them, but even better that they've become friends;)
