No Hype No Fear: Intro

Hey Cardfighters!

I've you read my last post you'll know I'm starting a running list of low cost but still decently competitive decks.

(Disclaimer: They probably won't be able to compete directly with what most people consider top tier decks but they will be a good starting place for entering the game in a competitive fashion without you know emptying your wallet.)

I decided to call this series "No Hype No Fear" because the whole reason I made this was because of "hyped cards" which have ridiculously high prices for no apparent reason. To get around that we'll have to work with cards that aren't victims of "hype" and thus the name. (It is a little different from budgetguard and I wanted to distinguish that with the name as well.)

Rules of the game:
1. The deck must be less than $60. To get into a game competitively you have to be willing to pay a little money, BUT not everyone has $200 to throw around. Especially if you don't know anything and end up buy a $30 card which isn't actually viable for another 2-3 months. *As with budgetguard this will not include the prices of commons*

2. As said previously it will be a running list of the best possible deck for each clan (In my opinion***). That means if I think I found a better list for the current build or simply a different build which is strictly better then I will update said list.

3. The decks are meant to be starting points, inspiration if you will. I don't have the time to finely tune each deck so they won't be perfect, but they will be pretty solid. Pick one up try it out and work with it from there. I highly recommend building the exact list before modifying unless you absolutely cannot obtain the cards. If you find something that you think is better than any deck I post then let me know in the comments! I am just as imperfect as anyone so I can miss things every once in a while.

4. Match videos like those in budgetguard will be on hold for a while. I don't know if I want to do match videos since it will be a running list meaning I could change a couple of cards and then the deck I used in the video will be outdated. But we shall see in the future. (I also really don't like CFA so there is that too.)

That should be it for the rules of "No Hype No Fear"!  I hope you are all as excited as I am! The first deck will be coming out within the week so please be patient and look forward to it!

Thanks for reading,

Chris

    1. I'm working hard to get all the decks for set 5 up this week! I've got all the lists but they aren't as tested as I'd like and its taking me a while to write them all up. Please be patient and thanks!

    2. Awesome, I look forward to seeing what you've come up with, a lot of the obvious choices from G05 ended up being way overhyped lol

  2. I'm interested... Let's see... I can see Magus without Stellar being a thing, but that's all I've got from GBT05... Otherwise, Alter Ego Messiah with Maximum Seal rather than Amnesty? Uh... Bermuda Triangle Legion? Cobalt Neon/Cobalt Wave Dragon? Time Leap Gears seems likely... Harri Pale Moon might happen once Mephisto comes out... These are just my ideas, not necessarily predictions. I'm excited to see what you'll come up with!
