lol I wasnt really flaming... go ahead and report the post, that just makes you look bad cuz you cant handle a debate or any criticism... and I think your just crying because your wrong. :). CHEERIO! lol..

Lily Dude: I don't even get why you think BLS isn't broken. You start to give alot of vague descriptions and situations on how BLS isn't broken. Comparing the Universal Staples to BLS is absolutely absurd (maybe Delinquent, its annoying) because the Universal Staples are usuable at any phase of play, but it isn't broken, you wouldn't here me say "If that person hasnt played Pot of Greed, I would've won" because it wouldn't put you in a bad situation whereas BLS can. I can agree on one thing. BLS alone won't win you the game, but it can screw up your strategy. Im not a good debater but I wanna hear what you think

Please if must post your agurments do it in white my eyes can't take it. Anyways When they release BLS in master collection 2 you may actually eat your words because everyone will run it. People run things because they are broken. Look at card of sanctity it has a very broken effect on the show yet here it has a major cost to it. The only cost is to remove one dark/light. If that is not a ridiculously easy summoning requirement I do not know what it is. Aside from playing premature burial and coth. There are only about some cards in the game that allow for outright monster destruction and there is no possible way to be prepared all the time for it. Look at his counterpart with 2300 he is a lot more balanced in the game. Also with the fact that he can attack twice in a turn is just deadly to a person. If someone has played scapegoat and the person with BLS gave him a trampling ability that is doing 6000 thousand damage in a turn. Also with direct damage destroy one monster with then do 3000 more damage points is not very nice. Monster removal you seem to imply that we have to remove are own monsters to which is wrong. Think if a person had a continous NOC on the field and it would be used once a turn that would be broken and yet someone can remove a monster from play it face mode which NOC can't do. Also if a person has a 6000 thousand attack great maju garzette on the field people will opt for the removal factor to get rid of it. Even if it last one turn it can reck a strategy greatly. People may also want to protect it for a bit. It offers no restrictions to summoning because a person can get up to 3 monsters pretty easily in one turn. What other people say that premature burial can be a bad topdeck because all of there monsters that actually may stand a chance against it got removed because of some technicallity. Think if you got a and people forgive me for this but if you got a BEUD out on the field it probably was very hardwork to get it out there right and for something with less attack points uses it remove from play ability it is just not right. Complete amatuers can win local tounements because they have this card in there deck. Yes it does take skill to use it correctly, but sometimes you do not need the skill at all. It is supposed to be the best top deck in the current meta right now. It is not a staple for every deck however but people put it into their decks even though it does not fit the theme. If BLS is not a broken monster please pray tell enlighten us with your knowledge and tell us what is. Remember we probably can find something wrong with any monster that you would choose. Every monster has something wrong with it like CED it blows up your side of the field to. Yata can create an almost unbreakable lock, but if an oppenet has sinister serpant in the graveyard put it into their hand it can break the lock. That is enough of this rant because I have an 8:00 class tomorrow morning.

lilly- you know what? Take this arguement. Seriously. You can keep going. I'm done, as it's apparent to me that you're not going to accept anyone's opinions or logic. =/

my opinion still stands that BLS needs to be banned.

I have to agree. If BLS isnt broken, then tell us what is? Enlighten the court as to what you DO deem broken?

early debunking of cards:
Pot and Graceful: Are only as good as you draw

Delinqnent: Doesnt count.... Konami told us for one straight year that this card was broken, but its not like WE couldnt see that for ourselves.

Mirror Force and United we stand: With the ammount of M/T removal in a deck? Even with only one mystical these cards are iffy at best.

Scientist: Balanced without the turtle.

Whiners court is in sessioin again. This really gets old after awhile. Is BLS a very powerful card..absolutely....should it be banned....ABSOLUTELY NOT

BLS needs to stay in the game because it represents an alternate win condition, by this I mean that you can design a deck so that it chews through your deck to arrive at BLS since this card can win the game for you.

BLS is very powerful, but you can defend against it...unlike CED and Yata it sticks around on the field and if vulnerable because of it.

The people I meet who are usually crying about BLS being a "card for newbs" and cryiing about losing to the card all the time are usually not very good duelists to begin with.

Now I have won many duels with BLS, and I know how powerful it is. But if you are getting beat by this card all the time, then I think the problem is more with you than the card.

I can honestly say I have beaten my opponents with their own BLS about as many times as they have beaten me with it. Most of the time their BLS just dies or get removed from the game.

BLS causes people so many problems because they have poor card management skills,if you don't overextend yourself and always keep a few cards back which can neutralize your opponents major threats, then BLS would not be such a problem.

It seems people will not be happy until control decks are completely removed from the game and we return to the days of pure beatdown decks. It seems people want to be able to just randomly throw their cards on the field and be able to win.

Bottomline, if you are losing to BLS alot.This is more of a reflection on how you sux rather than on how broken BLS is.

lmao@ mtruitt and lily... both of you people probably play MTG which would explain alot of your logic on defending bls seeing as how mtg is the broken card king.... anyways... BLS is RETARDED and should be burned...

and mtruitt you say I have no skill? Just because Ive lost to luster?

Well its kinda funny that the only card in my opponents deck when they are losing horribly to me is BLS and it comes out and just wins them the game in like one turn..... and even if you do kill it... go look at the other guys post who killed it like 4 times in a row...

PREMATURE BURIAL
CALL OF THE HAUNTED
WARRIOR RETURNING ALIVE
MONSTER REINCARNATION

whoa look Luster just wont stop coming back! See... even if you get rid of him... they are going to get him back... only sure fire way is if your lucky enough to snatch him and remove himself from the game... however... most of the time whatever you try to do to him... they will have a answer for... pretty retarded if you ask me.

They will back him up with their traps and spells and keep him alive at all costs... and as if he wasnt broken enough... he can come back from the graveyard as much as he wants! WOW! Now thats pretty retarded... just like all your points on why he isnt broken!

Even if you have a monster that runs over luster like kinetic soldier... heres what happens... you kill it... they bring it back and remove your monster from the game.... see how that works! Than it starts coming down to top decks and you top deck a flip effect monster and lose.... see!!!!!!!! wow... luster should be burned!

ALright Im done arguing with people who obviously cant win a duel with out BLS.... when ya actually get some SKILL let me know.

mtruitt nothing could be further from the truth! I run control and I run BLS-EOTB and I win 99% of the time but not because of BLS-EOTB (I've gone entire tournaments and not summoned him once!) People don't want it banned just because they lose to it! Some of us look at the big picture!

Control DOES NOT EQUAL BLS-EOTB! not even remotely in fact he is one of the few cards that WEAKENS Control as he allows an opponent to top deck an awesome advantage!

BAN THE MOTHER (insert expletive)

As I've taken a walk to clear my head, the one statement that continously comes into my head is the one that makes Luster broken in my mind. No monster sence Fiber and CED has the ability to change the game quite as consistantly and swiftly as BLS does.

Lily, your posts are well written, but you're still sticking to the Chaos doctrine.

1) He's really vulnerable to m/t cards.
2) Light and dark is hard without painful and two extra DDWL.
3) I dont always get him on the field.
4) You're just jelous because you cant get one.
5) But Card X, when not killed by my card a, b, or c, can kill luster no problem!
6) If he were banned, you'd just complain about some other card.
7) But I usualy dont even attack with him!
8) But he has a cost!

I just dropped into this game..with losing fascination for magic and inuyasha just not having enough big tourney support...i thought jeez why not take a long at this game. I went and looked at metagame and saw the deck that won the shonen jump tournet and decided to build it. A little trading here and there and I had the deck.From a newbie to this game(not new to tcg or ccgs though played magic since beta)..i have to say the card is awesome, but its limit one per. I agree with the guy that most of the decks have ways to deal with him..bottomless trap hole???..removes him from game right...dd warrior lady? he's gone there as well. Now i have had fun with him...eot scapegoat on opp..turn.....summon luster..united we stand ..that's a lot of goodnes...?(by the way that works right?) it was funnier though attacking with a 3200 goat . All game have broken cards...r&d rarely makes a set without them, the trick is just to find ways to kill it...wouldn't divine wrath get him? Soon as they try and remove your creature ,flip divine wrath, discard your sinister serpent..bye bye luster. Goat token...thousand eye restrict...take luster...yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.(does that work)...Ok enough rambling i say..let him live..if you know what you are playing against...YOU should have the advantage. Bring your luster to the table..when you keep staring at your graveyard..i think i can figure something is up. My vote for banned..magician of faith....i graceful charity 3 times in the finals of a local tourney...now that 's wrong.

goats- not to go too off topic, but cards like magician of faith and delinquent duo make me wonder what a type 2-ish yu-gi-oh format would be like.

Everyone has been on magician of faith's case lately, and I'm starting to think a new duelist's court may be necisary. I'd be in her defence of course.

I belive this case may be coming to a close on time. If I have time tonight I'll ask nataku to go over the posts, and see what he thinks is appropriate.

In a closing arguement, why are you using BLS lily? It sounds to me like he's seen so scarecely, that something else, something more searchable would be better suited for your deck. Do you run a sangan? If so, try morphing jar 2, or maybe even a cyber jar if you dont run one. Run an additional Assailant, or even a newdoria if you run tomatoes. If your deck wins 99% of your games without its help, then its obviously slowing you down. Granted, its almost never a dead draw, but without its ability to be searced out dedicatedly, it may not be the card for you. Like it or not, you may not need him any more.

I've converted so many away from chaos, why not see what we all see? If even drones are saying its overpowered, why cling to it?

Hallelujah Brother, Hallelujah! Testify! The truth will set us free! :grin:
