Talk:Trial Deck 3: Dragonic Force/@comment-6881157-20140325084545/@comment-4167259-20140325134350

Dareka, that's a bit harsh, at least the first statement. Natsu's just considering his limited options, I think. Okay, maybe I'm part of the problem suddenly getting fired up and hyped up about this Trial Deck, but truth be told, one really doesn't need hundreds and hundreds of dollars and a full set of every card in the game to be competitive. But yes, thank for the advice you gave at the end--this Trial Deck by itself won't be very consistent, but with a little investment like Blue Dragon Shields (roughly $1.75 per pop--$7 for a set), it has at least a shot.

And I stand by my previous posts earlier before the Promo Card craze took over my soul. Buying 2 of these isn't very profitable unless you're buying 3 and splitting with someone else, because that would make more sense considering the number of copies for certain staple cards. Buying 2 by yourself will yield some excesses you won't need.

So Natsu, again, don't fret too much about this whole spending thing. Luck or no luck, if you can play your limited resources properly like Gekido said, you'll always have a fighting chance. Decks with mostly vanilla monsters will always have a chance because of their good stat distribution relative to ability monsters. Danger World doesn't have a monopoly of those; Dragon World Armordragons are certainly capable in that regard, and their superior spells more than compensate. (fair warning: this does NOT apply to Katana and Magic World; it seems as if their vanilla monsters serve as nothing more than filler or damage dealers; their ability monsters are almost always better choices)
