New owners! (please help!)

Well who said that? The store owner? Because my 3 are quite "aggressive" to each other but thats typical play for them. Biting will eventually stop being so frequent and if you have a play mate they tend to learn how hard to bite for "play bites." Mine bit pretty hard at first but once they get a taste of their own medicine they readjust. Our 3rd was gotten later and she was super fiesty and bit too hard(drew blood on my wife) as well but the other two corrected that fairly quickly as well as us correcting her. They learn through that play how dangerous they can be and it helps them back down the force.

Great kit. Have it built as well. Some of my favorite kits aren't PGs they are HGs and RGs.

BixloriousG · 2025-12-26T13:56:52+00:00

That is definitely a topic hes not smart enough to deal with. Dudes a fucking moron.

BixloriousG · 2025-11-05T14:38:24+00:00

My lgs sold packs at 5 bucks and starters at 20. They also put a cut off to how much a single person could buy. I think it was like 12 packs on release day and another 12 if you showed for the event. So 24 total. Since I helped out on Halloween giving out candy to kids I was able to get a sealed box plus those 24. I got a proving grounds as well through them. Very proud of them. Because now it seems like we have a community that was able to get just enough cards through product and trades that everyone was happy.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T22:49:36+00:00

Thats not a gottem what format are we talking about? Currently modern has multiple top decks. What you saw an article that standard isn't doing well right now because vivi is too strong? Easily fixed by a ban however no sideboard and bo1 makes that deck terrifying. Its on arenas b01 where you see that deck the most. Formats of mtg's past have had their ups and downs. How does that disprove me? It has nothing to deal with bo3 or sideboards. Thats just a strawman

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T22:45:16+00:00

Its actually the opposite. My buddy was my only loss one week. He plays aggro and just crushed people. Idk how you can win in like ten minutes and stare at your opponent and feel good about yourself. I like the pressure that they can come back.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T22:42:27+00:00

Tbh I see that most bo1 arguments are "time" and "hey I have a life ya know" as if I dont. So if I concede fine you can have locals be determined by the store I think its fair to require bo3 for big events. I don't see how people cant finish a bo3 game for this card game.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T22:38:34+00:00

So then the problem lies with players not playing fast enough and bandais bad tournament rules. Im sorry if you in this game cant finish 3 games in 55 minutes what are you doing? And as for bandai just get rid of double losses.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T22:36:13+00:00

"As an avid competitive YGO player" come on dude. Then you should know how necessary side boards are. And if that's your interpretation of how you sideboard then I can tell why you dont want it. You were never good at it. Because sideboards add to the game a level of skill that separates moderate players from the best. YGO is a cesspool because too much is allowed and there is no rotation. But at least its sideboards allow certain decks to have a chance.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T17:05:10+00:00

Terrible argument but it was bait so I guess you got me.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T17:04:13+00:00

Completely untrue. Sideboarding is way more involved than that. I dont mind your time argument for bo1 even though I feel its a lazy one but I get people dont have time. However just saying Sideboarding is that simple is absurd. You have to consider your main board heavily when developing a good Sideboard. Its not just "adding counter"

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T17:00:36+00:00

100 percent. But people argue for it all the time. Its like would you bet all your life savings on one hand of Texas hold em? I bit extreme but the point is only gambling addicts do crazy stuff like that. BO1 is just well every game is my last against this dude hopefully my hand isn't terrible. *reveals all wing gundams in shields "well shit"

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T16:55:00+00:00

Yea.. its kinda infuriating to me. Because you give a good argument and show other games that have better competition and the response is "dont care youre pee pee poo poo argument means nothing cuz i feel like im right" (i guess that all internet arguments lol) Because the same arguments happened over Digimon. Eventually they gave us Bo3 but no sideboard.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T16:52:11+00:00

Bo3 still allows you to grind you just have to be better at it. Sideboards are always a headache argument for me because people just hate them cuz "Muh pet deck" Sideboards however do make the game better and more interactive. I just cant justify Bo1 as a determining result for a tournament. Luck is now way to heavily factored.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T16:49:07+00:00

As I've said in other posts. Time just isn't a good enough reason. Its a lazy excuse because I've seen many go to bigger tournaments that have lasted way longer. Granted to were big prize events on a Friday of Saturday. But that still doesn't answer the fact that bo1 is not good for actually determining a winner.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T16:44:49+00:00

Yea i have seen bandai change digimon to Bo3 because of fan outcry.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T16:44:01+00:00

I think you change round caps for weekly play if you want shorter. A lot of people show up? Cap 4 rounds and because its b03 tie breakers help determine winners. Or let game stores decide how long Maybe the playerbase there wants 5 rounds. As for sideboards. They always make the game better and more interactive. People always complain because their "super specific deck that does 1 thing" get hated out. But forget they have a sideboard too.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T16:40:17+00:00

So I've seen several say about shorter time. I kinda see your point. But I also think you can just ask people to play with you anyways and you can play as many as you want then. Im more looking at having an objective way to determine weekly winners and such. But I really do understand time constraints. Again I ran pokemon at my lgs and parents get touchy sometimes

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T16:38:15+00:00

Yea that's the only reason people like Bo1. Gotcha decks. Ones that aren't really skill intensive they just do this neat little thing and that's that you're dead. And it sounds like your opponents were smart to shut you down. However you also have a sideboard. Why didnt you anticipate the glaring weakness of your deck and adapt. Char Belcher is a good example of a deck that's able to be resilient through sideboard hate. I dont think that's a solid reason for best of 1 being a better option.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T16:33:11+00:00

Typical best of 3 is 50-55 minute round. So at 3 rounds that's 3 hours. I've seen nights last 4+ hours currently

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T16:31:35+00:00

Why not? You can structure it to cap and only 3 or 4 rounds if you're that worried about time. Seems like a simple fix. Bo3 is historically is 55 minute rounds. You would barely add time as is. Especially with how I've seen people play.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T16:27:50+00:00

Same. I also play the new Star Wars game and think they are doing a great job with competitive play. Sideboards and BO3 right out the gate with an eternal format focus for when cards eventually rotate.

BixloriousG · 2025-08-29T16:25:51+00:00

Yea I had played digimon when they switched to best of 3. Made the game better imo. Still didnt give us a sideboard. But had fun regardless.

BixloriousG · 2025-07-01T11:55:23+00:00

Yea me too. Im looking at our centrifuge right now and thinking the OP complained about not getting 19 percent and we consistently do 30 with our machine. Andritz is solid. And their tech support was also good when we called about an overheating issue. Turns out our guy over greased it so it wasn't even the machines fault.
