Kinda cool considering most top of things for the duel later duel terminal story is about different tribes coming together future. I plan to kill a common foedo the next contest over Shadow Specters, however, in this but I won't actually make the contest, page until the goal release date of working together is to have fun and just enjoy the experiencebooster.

They can not be a Laval/Flamvell or Gishki/Ice Barrier mix) 07:09, because the attributes of the archetypes are the same.* For Deck testing purposes, assume that Tag Duels involve shared field/graveyard/banished zone/LP, like in the video games. You may design your Decks to use the quirks in those systems to your advantage.* The decks will be due May 23July 22, 2013. ** The due date is longer, because this is a tag team contest.(UTC)

:[[Malicevorous]], [[Vampire]], [[Granmarg the Hard Earth Monarch]] (It's only one, but it's still cool!), [[Survival of the Fittest‎]] (Maybe)? That's about all.

Just wondering, but how would we test the decks if we can use DevPro or anything else that would allow us ::Is there anyone who wants to play Tag Duels?

:If you want to test:::I think that [[Malicevorous]], you'll probably have to use DN and just continuously PM.

Jet Iron]] among others -a [[Solidarity]]-themed contest where all monsters in the Main and Extra Deck have to be of the same type. of course, you would need to exclude commonly used types like [[Warrior]], [[Dragon]] and [[Machine]] to make the contest fairer -a contest featuring archetypes/series that noone uses, like [[Inmato]], [[Crashbug]] or [[Duston]] among others What do you guys think? --[[User:Moja619|Moja619]] ([[User talk:Moja619|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Moja619|contribs]]) 02:27, August 9, 2013 (UTC) I would be down for the second installment of HTFDIST and maybe we even bring back old monsters such as Gate Guardian and such just to see how it fits in the format. [[User:Fallensilence|Fallensilence]] ([[User talk:Fallensilence|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Fallensilence|contribs]]) 08:16, August 9, 2013 (UTC) I'll keep those in mind and come up with something later today. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 03:48, August 10, 2013 (UTC) ...Perhaps Decks based around cards with a conceived back-story behind them (and the cards involved with them)? [[User:Chromace|Chromace]] ([[User talk:Chromace|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Chromace|contribs]]) 10:37, August 21, 2013 (UTC) :You mean like the [[Card storylines]]?

Characters used in already-existing Decks are not permitted.*Use only one copy of each card in a Deck.*Build a Turbo Deck, minimum of 10 Speed Spells.The latter 2 ideas could use DevProsome archetype restrictions, but I'm not sure which ones.--[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 10:01, August 30, 2013 (UTC) :Um, what is a character-based Structure Deck?

How about making decks based off the anime (which are actually workable)? If Sure we did something like that via using a single copy, but it might be worth a try. [[User:Chromace|Chromace]] ([[User talk:Chromace|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Chromace|contribs]]) 04:24, September 30, 2013 (UTC) (Edit conflict) How about this: Decks using the [[Element]] Series, one contestant per monster, each Deck must have 3 copies of the choosen monster and all the other monsters of the Main/Extra Deck must be of the two attributes thatsupport the choosen monster (50/50). --[[User:Missign0|Missign0]] ([[User talk:Missign0|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missign0|contribs]]) 04:28, September 30, 2013 (UTC):Update (sorry, forget to add before): there must be a reason/strategy to the choosed cards (you can't, for example, add "Laval" and "Atlantean" and call it a Deck).
