Hey guys, I have been messing around with several decks lately and I thought that it might be a fun idea for the academy to host an underrated deck tournament, with contestants only being able to use decks containing archetypes which are quite frankly sub-par in today's meta or are mostly just for fun. Such as arcana-force, penguins, Venom, Moths, Cloudians and so on. Certain staple cards like duality, MST, bottomless, warning etc would all be banned, all hybrid decks would be dissalowed (frog-monarchs etc) and all extra deck monsters not directly linked to the archetype would be banned. This would be to encourage creativity and keep the matches entertaining to watch and play in. Oviously this is just a suggestion, but what do you guys think?

i think that it isnt a bad idea and it will encourage us to do more creativity plus i make bad ass creative decks

I think it is not a bad idea and cool to do it and make our deck more creative and i don't quite understand the part that the spell and trap cards and extra deck is going to be banned. please explain it also, and thanks.

Spells are traps are not banned, just several staples that are far too good to not put in your deck over other options, which many decks have. Some examples include but are not limited to, MST, Warning, Duality, Honest, Maxx C and so on. It would probably be better for some extra deck monsters to be banned, like exiton, diamond dire, blackship of corn, utopia etc

Number 101 silent honor ark ? and like hmmm Soul Charge? Black rose dragon and effect veiler AH HA let me know if you need a person to figure out what cards are banned

Ill probably create a list tomorrow which I will happily edit based upon the opinions of other members

Yeah tomorrow ended up being a lot later, but here is the list I think would be good to ban in terms of staples, this list is in no particular order, but is arranged into monsters, spells and traps. Anything already banned, limited or semi-limited is unchanged
