Heavy Storm

Seems to be on everybody's 2011/3 Banlist predictions...

Maybe we just havent figured out how to deal with the backrow wars?

Maybe people should learn that Malevolent Catastrophe is still at 3?

Are we just afraid of change?

Actually I totally agree with you banned Storm is stupid.

  1. First people whine that they are getting otked easily!

    Then they whine that the game is a backrow war!

    They don't know what they want!

    Personally I hate cards that give a free + without any drawback/cost/etc.

    My opinion would be just bring giant trunade at 2 or mystical space typhoon at 3!

  2. "like"

    Main thing is i'd rather run 2 Mst, 1 trunade and 1 coldwave rather than 1-3 malevolent cause its very slow and no one really sets before the attack so it becomes sort of a dead draw

  3. Cold Wave and Heavy Storm seem that can be used for the same stuff, but they are not used for that, nor are supossed to. Heavy Storm can be used early game, mid-game or late-game but still depends a bit on timing. Cold Wave is used exclusively by OTK decks, and whenever you see it you'll use your set Solemn Judgment to stop it if you have no Battle Faders because, in 9 out of 10 duels, Cold Wave = game!
    Giant Trunade is, in a way, more balanced yet more broken than Heavy Storm or Cold Wave: more balanced as it doesn't provide long-term "advantage", more broken as Stardust Dragon is really popular and it can't negate it like Heavy Storm and that if the opponent survives a OTK you can re-set your cards to stop him/her cold, and that the previous "advantage", while not long-term, is way too big to have in any OTK format.
