Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master

First topic message reminder :

Hello everyone. Needed to get something new into the gaming section, so why not something fun and different? A little while back, during a DN game with Kyouou he mentioned he was using his Yugioh Highlander deck. I knew he meant something similar to Magic: The Gathering's Commander format. So with the help of my good friend Netoow, I've come up with a rule set for a YuGiOh version of Commander: Deck Master.

Here's the basics:

Each player plays with a deck of 60 cards with no multiples. That's right, single copies of any card used in the deck. Each duelist chooses 1 monster from the deck to act as the deck master. The deck master must be a Level 5 or higher monster that can be summoned through tributing (Whether it is Tribute Summoning or Tributing to Special Summon). The deck master cannot be a monster who requires another card to summon (I.e. Rituals and Fusions) nor can it be a Synchro or Xyz monster as these monsters do not require Tributes.
Examples of Deck Master choices: Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Destiny HERO - Plasma, Sorcerer of Dark Magic
Examples of monster that CANNOT be used: Chaos Sorcerer, Assault Mode monsters, Uria Lord of Searing Flames.

A Deck Master is not kept within the actual deck. It resides in a special zone called the Deck Master Zone. This zone is a safe haven for the Deck Master until it is brought onto the field. It can be summoned at any time you can meet their summoning requirements. For example, if you're deck master is Blue-Eyes White Dragon, you can summon it any time you control the two monsters necessary for the Tribute Summon. Summoning a deck master is treated as a Special Summon, even if the monster is only tributed as if being Normal Summoned.

Deck masters still count as monster cards and therefore are just as vulnerable as the rest. If a Deck Master is ever sent to the graveyard or banished, it returns to the Deck Master's special zone outside the duel field but fear not because a Deck Master can be summoned again from the Deck master Zone again even after returning. However, if the Deck Master was returned to its zone, then the next time it is summoned, it must meet its normal requirements and you must pay 1000 Life Points per time it has returned. (i.e. if a Deck Master was returned twice, then the next summoning of it requires an additional 2000 Life Points on top of its normal stipulations).

Now normally a Deck Master cannot be summoned through Card Effects, (Such as Dark Magician as a Deck Master cannot be brought out via Dark Magic Curtain), but there are a few ways to do so. One example is Mausoleum of the Emperor. Example: Say Blue-Eyes White Dragon is your deck master and Mausoleum is active. You can pay the 2000 Life Points to Deck Master Summon the Blue-Eyes during your main phase as normal. However you would also need to pay any additional Life Points if the deck master is returning to the field for a second or above time.

NEW
The monster used in the deck have to follow a very particular guideline. That guideline is your Deck Master. Whatever you choose to be the Deck Master will determine what Monster you CAN use. All the monster cards used in the deck must be either:
The Same TYPE as the Deck Master
The Same ATTRIBUTE as the Deck Master or
From the Same ARCHETYPE as the Deck Master.

So let's say for example you choose Red-Eyes B. Dragon as the Deck Master. This will limit your monster to be DARK, Dragon-types, or from the "Red-Eyes" series. This is to avoid people making mixed decks with no common theme and make it more of a challenge. I promise this rule is not hard to follow.

For now, Deck Master will follow the Advanced Format, but I am going to be working on a Special Deck Master Ban List solely for this format as it is only fitting.

Tell me what you guys think so far and feel free to ask any questions regarding this format. Happy Dueling!

No. You HAVE to Tribute for the Deck Master.

Nottu, I do have only one question. Say my deck master is Dark Magician and I have say, five monsters out on the field. I only have to tribute two of them to get him out rather than tribute all of the cards, correct?

Subject: Re: Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master Tue Mar 05, 2013 5:04 pm

i personally would assume so, but he knows more about it then i do

Subject: Re: Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master Tue Mar 05, 2013 10:10 pm

Yes Blazer. Tributing for the Deck Master is just like Tribute Summoning normally. So since Dark Magician is a Level 7 monster, he would require two tributes.

Other cards will require less, others more, and some will have specific requirements (Such as Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon needing Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon)

o.O

Why is everyone building HERO Deck Master decks?

Subject: Re: Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master Fri Mar 08, 2013 3:52 pm

Because they offer loads of support cards AND you have acess to fusions.

It's not exactly an issue, just was hoping to get more diversity.

Subject: Re: Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master Sat Mar 09, 2013 12:49 am

Well most likely i switched my deck but its not a sure thing

Subject: Re: Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master Sat Mar 09, 2013 1:00 am

If you're deck runs then leave it be. Not a big deal.

Subject: Re: Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master Sat Mar 09, 2013 2:02 am

I personally think my lightsworn is better, more fun, and less likely to go against the same so i think it is a great idea

I'm up for a deck master duel

Subject: Re: Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master Sat Mar 09, 2013 3:37 am

Sigh Cyber read the deck master rules on deck building and make a deck for it before asking for a DM duel.

Do you have a Deck Master Deck built?

Subject: Re: Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master Sat Mar 09, 2013 6:02 am

Eh he claims he did and I went against it. Had about 50 cards and duplicates of many cards.

Subject: Re: Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master Sat Mar 09, 2013 4:09 pm

Then Cyberqueen will need to review the rules and their deck before they try to play a game of Deck Master

Subject: Re: Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master Sat Mar 09, 2013 6:32 pm

Yea don't waste your breath I was telling him that and he just replied "so" a total of 6 times

Subject: Re: Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master Sat Mar 09, 2013 7:33 pm

do you have to tribute the monsters to summon your deck master?
example: if my deck master is blue-eyes white dragon and i control two monsters can i just summon blue-eyes or do i have to tribute them then summon blue-eyes?

Subject: Re: Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master Sat Mar 09, 2013 7:44 pm

You summon your deck master as you usually would, as if he was on your hand, so yes you do tribute.

Subject: Re: Custom Ruleset: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Master Sat Mar 09, 2013 7:50 pm

Yea you summon it how you would as if it were in your hand. But it has to be through tribute summon. So if Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon is your DM then you can tribute two monsters to normal summon it. However you can't banish a dragon to special summon it since that would not be through tribute
