I wake up this morning and start my preparation for Regionals tomorrow. I'm finishing my Nekroz deck, and I'm fairly comfortable in what I plan on playing...
Then Qliphorts come into mind. All the appealing thoughts start coming to me: Skill Drain, Mind Crush, giant swarms of mechanical monsters stomping people in the face... I try to suppress this thought as best as possible.
I end up going into work for a few hours. Sure enough, I start thinking about Qliphorts again. Before I leave work, I have a decklist printed off, ready to go! WHY???
After all this playtesting with Nekroz, I'm still considering going back to Qliphorts. I'm quite convinced Nekroz are the best deck, so why am I thinking about Qliphorts? It might be my interest in playing decks with traps. I have always enjoyed decks with traps.
If I decide to play Qliphorts, I'll have to accept that my plays will be obvious. Sure, I can try to outplay my opponent and such, but the deck doesn't have very many play combinations. The deck is too shallow: Setup your pendulum plays, make a big normal summon and pendulum summon, then back it up with traps. If any of that falls apart, of I brick, I know I lose. However, the deck is good because it doesn't brick all that often, and even when it does brick, you might have traps to stymie the opponent.
Oh what do I do? Nekroz are the best deck, and I've invested all this time and money into it. I never had a problem with Qliphorts until last week's tournament I attended. Then again, I only lost because I didn't have a timely response to the floodgate. That's why Qliphorts are floating around in my head. It's the better matchup against the current best deck, and floodgates prevent the opponent from playing. A win is a win, even if you lock the opponent with Emptiness all game...
I have to make a decision, like ASAP. This is ridiculous.
