== Ideas ==
=== Nephthy's ideas ===So, here are some random ideas from me: Decks centered around 1 type, but using no archetype. Of course not dragons or Warriors, as those have a lot of support, but Winged-Beast, Beast, Insect etc. The only criterias are: 1) Only use cards of that type and 2) do not use 2 cards of the same archetype. Decks to summon 2 Elemental Lords in any combination (so someone picks Moulinglacia+Windrose, other picks Moulinglacia+Pyrorex etc)[[User:Nephthy|Nephthy]] ([[User talk:Nephthy|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Nephthy|contribs]]) 15:52, March 10, 2013 (UTC) :I like the 2nd idea. <span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva">--[[User:Dark Ace SP|<span style="color:FireBrick;">Dark </span><span style="color:LightSlateGray">Ace SP</span>]] ([[User_talk:Dark Ace SP|<span style="color:FireBrick;">Talk</span>]])</span> 20:03, March 10, 2013 (UTC) ::Been there, done that. 2 Elemental Lords can be pulled off w/ very few things, leaving little variety. It's just not a really feasible idea. I'd just go with something like 2 weird Type combinations, like Plant/Dragon or Spellcaster/Rock that have to contributed to decently to both types in the deck.

How about Decks where the number of each card used must be exactly 3 (what means no Semi and Limiteds) or 1 (but Limited aren't allowed). This idea could be merged with others, like the Attribute Lock, for extra challenge. --[[User:Missign0|Missign0]] ([[User talk:Missign0|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missign0|contribs]]) 21:30, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

=== Done - Structure Deck Flashback===
As time goes on, new cards are added to the database, some of them synergizing old cards, whether intentional or not.
You are given one of the first 12 OCG non-character-based Structure Decks (SD01 to SD12). You are allowed to renovate one of them to utilize the modern cards. However, you are explicitly prohibited from changing the overall theme of the Deck, while also keeping the general tradition of mostly single-copy cards unless necessitated by the Deck.
You are also prohibited from adding any other Structure Deck-exclusive cards.
Which will you pick? How will you modify it? --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 13:12, April 14, 2013
:How about this: you pick a Structure Deck, but you can only change a limited number of its cards (15, for example) for new cards and you ''must'' use the cover card? --[[User:Missign0|Missign0]] ([[User talk:Missign0|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missign0|contribs]]) 02:42, April 15, 2013 (UTC)
::That can also do. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 08:21, April 15, 2013 (UTC)
=== Potential - Odd/Underused Synchro Monsters? ===
You could limit the list by using only the Synchros that need a Tuner + 2 or more non-Tuners (like the Goddess). --[[User:Missign0|Missign0]] ([[User talk:Missign0|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missign0|contribs]]) 05:06, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
I am keen on the former-Dark-Synchro monsters. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 13:15, April 14, 2013 (UTC) I like this idea, but a few are pretty easy, like Parshath and Chaos King Archfiend. You can always go with [[Dark Highlander]] and [[Ally of Justice Decisive Armor]], though. [[User:Synchro Maniac10|Synchro Maniac10]] ([[User talk:Synchro Maniac10|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Synchro Maniac10|contribs]]) 03:24, May 4, 2013 (UTC) === Potential - Sealed Pack Play? ===
So the basic idea is to take a few versatile packs, and use a random number generator to organize the card's into packs of around 50, and then ask contestants to make decks of 30 cards. Of course we won't really be able to play with them, unless DN allows games of 30 cards, which I don't think they do.
Honestly, this idea might be fun, but it's also going to be a lot of work using a random number gen to make the 50 card pools. <span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva">--[[User:Dark Ace SP|<span style="color:FireBrick;">Dark </span><span style="color:LightSlateGray">Ace SP</span>]] ([[User_talk:Dark Ace SP|<span style="color:FireBrick;">Talk</span>]])</span> 00:13, April 13, 2013 (UTC)
=== How :An easier alternative: Contestants are given a short list of packs, and can only build their Deck using cards from those packs. Certain staples may be added to reduce Deck building difficulty. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 12:54, April 14, 2013 (UTC) ::That's probably what I had in the world do you do thismind, but your thoughts made it easier. Any ideas on what packs? I don't want anything too new, but nothing too old as well, or maybe just a good all round pick from each generation of Yugioh? <span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva">--[[User:Dark Ace SP|<span style="color:FireBrick;">Dark </span><span style="color:LightSlateGray">Ace SP</span>]] ([[User_talk:Dark Ace SP|<span style="color:FireBrick;">Talk</span>]])</span> 00:59, April 15, 2013 (UTC)
Not sure how long since we did something like this. But why not The pack list may come in blocks, maybe representing a hard to summon contest? We have plenty new candidates"generation". Like SophiaFor example, Number 92 (or even 9)[[TDGS]] to [[ABPF]]. Or, fulfill a challengemaybe [[HA01]] to [[HA07]]. Like If you want to go retro with a deck (not hieratic) that can get out rank 8s at a decent pace. Or make a new take on a rabbit deckgiant card library, [[DR1]] to [[DR04]]. I saw one that summoned out two Mask cards for Des Gradius. Anyone up for either of them? --[[User:BROOKLYN RAGE!Gadjiltron|<span style="color:Red; font-family:Snell Roundhand; font-size:15pt">Evolution</span>Gadjiltron]] ([[User_TalkUser talk:BROOKLYN RAGE!Gadjiltron|<span style="colorltalk]] • [[Special:Blue; font-family:Princetown Let; font-size:15pt">Is The Key<Contributions/span>Gadjiltron|contribs]] 05) 08:3825, April 1315, 2013 (UTC)

:Not entirely sure if it fits in we've done this category, or even how many options we would have, but how about why not a contest with Decks using Toon-deck where the archetype is primarily Normal Monsters. This includes Ojama, Mokey Mokey, the Wight series. Sure, Spirit- or Union-they have effect monsters? , but even then they aren't used very much.--[[User:Missign0BROOKLYN RAGE!|Missign0<span style="color:Red; font-family:Snell Roundhand; font-size:15pt">Evolution</span>]] ([[User talkUser_Talk:Missign0BROOKLYN RAGE!|talk]] • [[Special<span style="colorl:Blue; font-family:Princetown Let; font-size:Contributions15pt">Is The Key</Missign0|contribsspan>]]) 05:0616, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
== Simplicity at its Finest. = Elder Pharaoh Highlander ===Moving this idea from under a "completed" heading since it wasn't used.
Not entirely sure if Recall how terribly inefficient the anime characters build the Decks, using only one copy of each card and playing unusually situational cards? Yeah, we've done thisre doing roughly the same thing. You can only insert one copy of each card into the Deck you're building. That includes the Extra Deck. ''And'' you're not allowed to use any Limited Cards. With your options restricted, or even let's see how many options we would haveyou go about finding substitutes for the cards you can no longer spam. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 15:22, May 10, 2013 (UTC) :\o/ --[[User:Missign0|Missign0]] ([[User talk:Missign0|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missign0|contribs]]) 02:47, May 11, but why not 2013 (UTC) === Need for Speed ===Simple enough: Build a deck where Deck for Turbo Duels. That means you can only use [[Speed Spell Card]]s instead of the archetype regular Spells. Assume [[Speed World 2]] is primarily Normal Monstersbeing used to construct your Deck, and you are to use the video game lore for Speed Spells. This includes Ojamamay require some archetype restrictions. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 15:28, May 10, 2013 (UTC) :Also a restriction to the minimum number of Speed Spell, and the maximum number of Trap Cards (to avoid Decks with 1 Speed Spell and 20 Traps, for example). --[[User:Missign0|Missign0]] ([[User talk:Missign0|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missign0|contribs]]) 02:47, May 11, 2013 (UTC) === Black VS White ===Looking back at the first few iterations of the Deck Competitions, I thought of something. Similar to the underused Synchros idea above, we put up a list consisting of various underused Xyz and Synchro monsters, but in equal numbers for both. Contestants, as usual, pick one entry from that list and build a Deck around it. However, Mokey Mokeyby picking an Extra Deck monster to go with, that contestant cannot include monsters from the Wight seriesopposing faction in their Extra Deck. Means no Synchro Monsters when one goes with an Xyz Monster, and vice-versa. SureFusion Monsters are fair game. When voting is summed up, the faction (Synchro/Xyz) with more votes in total is declared the winner, they as is all contestants who have effect picked monstersbelonging to said faction. Honorary mentions go to contestants with highest individual votes, though. Consider it a means of answering the debate over whether Synchro or Xyz is better. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 09:26, May 16, 2013 (UTC) :I'd be all for it, but even then they arenI't used very muchd want at least like 3-4 contestants on each side.<span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva">--[[User:BROOKLYN RAGE!Dark Ace SP|<span style="color:FireBrick;">Dark </span><span style="color:LightSlateGray">Ace SP</span>]] ([[User_talk:Dark Ace SP|<span style="color:RedFireBrick; ">Talk</span>]])</span> 01:07, May 17, 2013 (UTC) ::Hey, I had exams in the last 2 weeks, so I didn't really have time for deck building and testing, but now I have all the time in the world and I love this idea (although synchro is obviously better:).

==Allied Terminal==So I looked at the past Tag Team contest::::About underused Xyz monsters, and had an idea: Contestants there are assigned into 2-member Tag Teams and lots of them, so here are to build their Decks based on a Duel Terminal few exaples. The ones that need type/attribute-specific materials, but not used by any archetype : Black Ray Lancer, Evilswarm Nightmare, Evilswarm Thanatos, Soul of their choosing. HoweverSilvermountain, Alchemic Magician, both members Giant Soldier of must choose archetypes belonging Steel, Rioto Harpyuia and No66 just to different Attributeslist up some. Also there are those with idiot ranks and 3 materials, like No9 and No92, No53, No10 and the Rank 1 monsters. --[[User:GadjiltronNephthy|GadjiltronNephthy]] ([[User talk:GadjiltronNephthy|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/GadjiltronNephthy|contribs]]) 1210:5448, April 14May 21, 2013 (UTC)
