1 on 1 Match will be Easy

[Chaotic14s]

I mean 1 on 1 match with no Battlegear or Mugic cards will be easy.

[ChaoticJune27]

Ow, this Is one of the most pointless threads. -_-
But anyhow, the chances of winning would to be by using your strongest creature. No I guess you could play Bakugan style If you wanted to.

[ChaoticGod]

dont mention bakugan because its gonna start more threads that i will mark as spam. i have a startegy that doesnt matter who goes first i just need the right cards from boosters

[Tickle Me Elmo]

hope your luckey

[ChaoticGod]

i usually am when i draw from booster packs. and i cant wait to use this strategy, it's so basic but it's so evil and fun, and it doesn't require any mugic or battlegear

Well, it does depend on the creature too... Take Heptadd and, for the most part, multi-elemental attack, in such case, you do get an advantage. Moreover, since the attacker choose at random between 10 locations, you don`t really know who will get the initiative: Maybe the defender will. Addind to that if you use Mipedians: Since there is no BattleGear nor Mugic, according to the Topic Creator`s rules, Mipedians can use Invisibility without being detected, except by other Mipedians... In other words, many possible strategies, even with only 1-on-1 without BattleGear and Mugic. Everything is still possible!

As for a strategy about 1-on-1, I have mine. Actually, it`s a mix of what Tom and Klay did in there 6-on-6 battle: Take this Mugic (don`t know the English Name, saw it in French only) that lets you choose the next location, followed by that item Klay used on Magmon, and there: You`re sure to have a nice advantage, even if you`re not the attacker... Thought you`re not sure to get Initiative that way... And you're using your only Mugic and Battlegear for that, while your enemy still have a Mugic and Battlegear he can use against you... Well, anyway, as I said: Everything's possible in that game! :D

[ChaoticGod]

except that you CANT use battlegear and mugic which kind of wrecks you strategy there until they release master rules. (not to mention that you'll have a hard time getting cards like flux bobble and song of future sight and a strong creature with a decent amount of stats so you get some of the initiatives.)

[Irvine]

Hmm, they won't have Master Rules? Then what's the point in playing then?

And whatever: The Master Rules are already known, since they are in the online rulebook, so you just play with them if you want!

[ChaoticGod]

sure, offline that is. they dont let you pick whether to play apprentice or master, its set to apprentice, and theres really nothing you can do about it online, but if you have a hobby league shop (a shop that signed up for the hobby league) then you might get to play with master rules at a tournament

[Irvine]

Oh, ok, you meant online! That's a difference! :P And yeah, there is a shop near where I live... Won't be able to do tournaments, I think, but that doesn't matter, as long as you can play!

Anyway, not being able to uses Mugic and Battlegear, that's bad... Making online games least interesting... I guess they'll add that later (they sure will, right) but, just the basic rules, it makes only game least interesting, to me... Well, whatever, it's not what we were speaking of, we were talking about 1-vs-1 strategy! lol

[ChaoticGod]

what i dont get is why DONT they release master rules because wont they need to do more testing for bugs on it?

[Pocketkoi]

Well another interesting idea is to use creatures with special abilities. Cards like Vidav who can use mugic counters to heal or Solvis who can use counters to attack will help alot in a battle, especially if your opponent is only relying on their creatures and attacks.

[ChaoticGod]

well things like that can only be used once and if they pull out some strong attack its wont matter if you only do like 10 damage

[Pocketkoi]

I was refering to Vidav over Solivs. He has an ability to heal 15 damage with 1 counter, since he has 2 he can heal up to 30 damage all by himself, which is pretty good when mugic and battlegear isin't allowed.

[ChaoticGod]

still though, you lose a turn to hurt them when it's pretty easy to deal 20 damage in a second. like skeletal strike and sleepsting.

[Pocketkoi]

Aren't special abilities burstable much like mugic?

[Irvine]

You don't lose a turn. You are forced (it's in the rulebook) to use an attack card every turn. Ability, Mugic and stuff like that are then optionnal!

Anyway, I thought about another strategy. This strategy doesn't give you more chance to win, but it gives a 0% probability to lose. Let me explain:

You take Tianne. You know, this Mipedian who can sacrifice himself and kill it's opponent at the same time? Well, you battle normally with him and, if at any point your opponent use an attack card that reduce your Energy to 0, you start a Burst with Sacrifice over this attack card. Since Mugic and BattleGear are not in those game, the Burst stop with this sacrifice, and the battle ends in a tie. Well, that, of course, is if the Sacrifice really destroy the opponent! Maybe it just reduce Energy to a big amount, like, 40, but that a creature with more than 40 can still survive (in such case, the probability to lose is not 0%, but is still very low!)

[Palin]

The thing is, Apprentice rules ban the use of more than just Mugic and Battlegear. They also ban Location, Creature, and Attack abilities (basically, anything in a text box that isn't Initiative).

[Pocketkoi]

True, or they can burst with a special ability of some sort and destroy tiian before his sacrifice goes off, though that does seem somewhat unlikley...

plus You'd have alot of.. draws..

[Irvine]

I forgot that, but Dangeresque is right: Lots of stuff are abandonned with non-master rule... ChaoticGod, are you sure the Master Rules won't be Online? Because, if it's the case, then the battle outcome will be really random...
