Quote: WindumupWell even if it's not based on an archetype a deck still needs synergy.
For instance one old deck of mine simply known as "Hippo Hacked Jackpot" involved a large variety of draw spells, dark scorpion burglers, hippo carnival, jackpot 7, and something like creature swap to give them DSB.
While that isn't an archetype focused deck, it still had a plan and "winning image". A deck needs to have an idea of what it wants to accomplish, regardless if it is a specific combo play, burning the opponent down, or a win condition card, a deck with a lack of focus is not going to win. And yes you can still have a "fun deck" with a focus. If you can't afford cards then play on DN till you put together the money to buy them. Then use DN for practice on days you can't have a duel with anyone.
Hippo Carnival is a Arc-V card ... that's not very old at all.
It's old in the way I haven't played it in a LONG time.
