Recursion

So apparently decks that have a low monster count, or high monster count get flamed for "balance".

So, let me introduce you to a concept we call "Recursion"

Its a concept that counts not the number of monsters in deck balance, but rather taking into account how often said monsters will be doing their job as monsters.

For example: Ideally, Honest doesnt even count in monster count balance.

However, Kalut may, because its not that uncommon for Kalut to be summoned/Shura'd

By packing some Hero Blast, and Call of the Haunted, for example, gives your monsters more recursion than regular.

Whilst the most common form of recursion is revival, salvage and recycling are also widely used.

Then there are those cards that get even more recursion because they can summon themselves. Examples include Machiners Fortress, for starters.

Recursing is essentially a concept of making the opponent see some monsters that cause problems as many times as possible.

Examples of decks which excercise recursion well:

Polymerization E-Hero Ocean Control -> You will see every monster be used thrice. If not more.
Machiners -> Summon Gearframe. Revive Fortress. Rinse, repeat. Ran out of Gearframes? Of thats why Pot of Avarice and Peacekeeper is there.

One form of recursion not commonly used is summon from RFG.

Another thing to note is that recursion cant really be used to determine the opening percentages well, so one must strike a balance between the searching/sheer monster count and

Thats all for today.
