    hrm, this site has no 'edit' button does it? woops.

    I was afraid that this would come up. It is true, it doesn't follow the videogame, but neither does challanging other players. Seems to me it'd be more true to the game if you couldn't challenge and everything came down to who world ran and 'finished the game' first. More flavor, but the game would be a lot less interesting without that option, even in the first few sets when world running was more viable.

    I've a simple but firm belief when it comes to games: Gameplay before all else. When a game suffers for the sake of flavor or story, something's gone wrong.

     

    Actually that is false. Days allows you to challenge other players and if I remember correctly the GBA version of CoM allowed you to Link Battle.

    WR is still runable, just not the quick version that everyone is used to.

    woops, my mistake. okay, bad example, but my point is that gameplay is more important then the story behind it. I'll try and be a bit more careful with my fact checking >.<

    well, the top 2 decks at gencon were world runners, so I would say it's probably pretty good.  I don't have a problem with doing things that aren't in line with how they were in teh video game, I'm just saying that's probably why it was done.  I don't really feel you can make the argument game play suffers by not letting roxas have magic/friends, the deck is plenty good and plenty viable as is, I think if he could use magic friends that might be enough to push it into the argument for best deck status (you know, once wishing lamp is fixed and there is an argument to be had).  At the very least, if he got magic/friends he would need samurai to have its power halved.

    I'm not saying that world running isn't viable anymore, just that aggro has a higher chance of winning then it has in the past. I actually feel that the two have been balanced out to a reasonable level. I also didn't mean to say that the game as a whole suffers from this ruling, I'm sorry that I gave that impression. I was making a blanket statement because I feel very strongly on that matter.

    The roxas deck I use right now actually runs fairly well to be honest, it just tends to crumple when I come to a situation where I have no choice but run. (I've plenty of worlds, it's the loss of friends) I don't believe that getting magic/friends would send roxas into best deck status, though I do agree that samurai should probably have it's power halved. Having 3 near ultima weapons is a bit much, even though it's probably the card that keeps roxas in the metagame at all. I just have issues with the current template and ruling. He can only use magic/friends that are from twilight town, but magic/friends aren't ever from anywhere? Add that to having no way around Stealth Sneak or way to consistantly deal 2 damage in a turn... I just feel so close to a solution and it's getting me frustrated, sorry if I'm being difficult.

    So Roxas magic/friend's will never be due to a templating issue? Frankly that bothers me more then the translation errors, not to say that those aren't also annoying.

     

    I personally don't see what would be so bad with letting Roxas have access to magic/friends. He can't use Genie or Simba lvl 4 (unless you manage to get out all three rare truffles, and that's quite a hoop to jump thru) and though I can see an arguement being made for Bambi's (which I'd disagree with, what with light decks having Bambi, Pegasus, Wishing Lamp, Cid, various friend search cards, many of which aren't very vulnerable worlds), I believe that gaining access to Dumbo, and thus a desperately needed answer to Stealth Sneak, would help with making a more varied meta-game.

    could make for a nifty little trick :)

    now, can you discard your form after you won the challenge but before the damage is actually delt, keeping the high attack during the challenge and then getting that extra point of damage in? seems like that'd be to good to be allowed, but you never know...

    Kingdom key would do one more damage if you're lvl 1 sora and going against... a form, dark riku, riku lvl 3, any of the popular lvl 3 player cards really.

    Granted, it's a fringe situation, not going to come up alot, but it could. I'd just like to be ready for if the situation was to ever come up.

    I've a question on this subject that's been bothering me a bit: Can you win a challenge, then drop valor form to deal more damage with kingdom key, if doing so brings your total down below your opponent's support total? I can see it argued, since it's after you've already won...
