Pot of Avarice

[Darkeyes]

in my area there are so many people complaining about this card and i just wonder if it would be in the next bans. Do u think this card deserves to be limited or even banned?

[Wildfire]

If you run more then one if these unless it's an exodia deck then you don't know what your'e doing. Most people will only play one since it is a very dead draw first turn hand.

[Indignation]

Hmm... It is good but banworthy? Nope. A few Kycoos and soul release can make that card a really bad topdeck and dead draw. Although it was abused in SJC, I think everyone has learned from that tournament and will be well prepared for the Chaos-FCC decks using POA. It's not Like Pot of greed where you get advantage with no activation cost or requirements beside having 2 cards in deck lol.

Kycoo the ghost destroyer>hecka good

[Paladinseer007]

Even though pot of avarice has been out for a month or two, to me it doesn't really seem worthy to be banned from the game. :)

[austinzc3]

:eek: Liminted to 1 is fine, but no ban. this card is a must after the pot was taken out and if you haven't noticed, it does need 5 monsters in the grave to activate the card. I use it but I am setup to loose the ability to use more then 1 already. everyone else should do the same. :p

[Pemolis]

It needs time to mature. We'll have a better understanding of it in about 2 months.

[CHaOsYaTa]

poa is fine as it is.

[lucamon]

Why limit or restrict it? Anyone who plays more than 1 should punch themselves in the face. <_<;

i play, or should i say abuse poa in my soul control and it works perfectly. i still don't think it's even restriction worthy, though.

[soraokyut]

yeah that's true.

In it's own deck type then yes it can be run in 2... every where else it should be one. It's a lame watered down crap card.

I guess if people where you play are complaing about the card they must not be very good dueliest since this cards is so easily dealt with...

Fool. Check the deck in my signature. Abuses the PoA and hasn't lost yet it playtesting. In the right deckit is abusive, but not limit worthy me-thinks.

[Tim86]

Not even.

Now, given the fact that you return 5 cards to your deck, it means a -5 in Top Deck Mode. However, since you get to draw 2, it reduces into -3 (TDM).

Yeah.. I don't care about your deck.

Any deck can be made to abuse multiple PoA, but guess what? So much of the deck will be put towards abusing it that after abusing it you'll have drained yourself to the extent that using more than one would be pointless.

[PMasterS]

PoA is the exact opposite of PoG, what i mean by this is whereas with PoG you should want to run 3 but can't run any, with PoA you can run 3 but shouldn't want to run any.

[plumaglob63]

not ban worthy
can create problems but it is still pretty good

[kEviN21]

It'll forever remain the way it is now...unless a card is released that combos with it

[darkphoenix88]

Definitely not ban worthy its not broken at all.

[Rudoku]

It'll forever remain the way it is now...unless a card is released that combos with it
Technically, there is a card that combos with it, but it's banned. Our old friend Painful Choice.

[MajinRokusho89]

While it has been teched in some decks, the only decks I see really benefitting from PoA are:

Exodia - retreve pieces, but actually PoA is likely to hurt by making the deck bigger if you play it at the wrong time,

RescueCat OTK - add fallen beasts in your Graveyard back to the deck to set up the OTK,

Swarm - replenish swarmer supply to swarm yet again.

Most other decks may be able to tech, but not much else. Restrict to 1 or 2? Possible, but unlikey. Ban? With the current cardpool, I think I'm more likely to see a purple flying monkey come out of my water faucet...WITHOUT doing drugs.

[callump1996]

This card is to good keep it at 1 or 0.

[AFuzzyMuffin]

Callum why the hell did you necro bump a thread from 2005!!?!

[TheGeneral69]

Nnnneeeeeccccrrrrrooooooo bump for the n00b

[callump1996]

Nnnneeeeeccccrrrrrooooooo bump for the n00b

I'm not a noob.

[BLS-EOTB <3]

6 Year necro bump. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

[A1337username]

I love going back and seeing what/how these guys typed 6 years ago.

I've also noticed they've all quit the site sometime over the past 6 years.

What does this mean?

...

FREE FLAMES. RUDOKU IS A F_G LOLOLOL.

[inpachi789]

At 1 it is fine. It only seems to get better the more derpy floaters we put in the game like Tengu/TGU/Dandy ect.

[Ninja Dood]

The easier it is to pull stuff out of your Extra deck the more Pot of Avarice seems like Pot of Greed.

[ChemicalX]

PoA is the exact opposite of PoG, what i mean by this is whereas with PoG you should want to run 3 but can't run any, with PoA you can run 3 but shouldn't want to run any.

You sir just got sigged :D.

This was from a long time ago huh? god damnit :P.

Callum you did it wrong?

[lolnopound]

I like the avatar with cyber Pac- Stein

[Gaspar]

Necro Fleur does the PoA to 3 dance. Which was the "in" thing 6-years ago.

[lolnopound]

6 years ago they had crazy logic. I read a thread where everyone was convinced that Painful Choice shouldn't be banned because it would make the game too slow.

Another thread someone asked why Upstart Goblin was semi-limited. The answer was because it made Exodia too fast (Graceful Charity and Pot of Greed were still legal)

[Gaspar]

The game 6 years ago was nothing like the game these days. Except for BLS - EotB being a card that should not be allowed in Advanced Format.

[ChemicalX]

6 years ago it was a completely different ball game. It was a much slower format where almost every card that popped out that wasn't crap needed to be checked out and don't get me started on what happened after the banned list got introduced lol. The Golden Years I actually miss them :).

[lolnopound]

I remember in 2003 being on my Gameboy playing a Duelist City game with Pot of Greed, Graceful Charity, Magician of Faith, Cyber Jar, Fiber Jar, and just waiting every duel to draw Jinzo.

I remember dueling Kaiba. He had all the 1900 atrack beaters. One duel he summoned this weird, weak monster. Then I saw his lifepoints do a -5000 and I was so confused. Then **** myself.

[noobie2k7]

I feel PoA is one of those 3/1 cards. it's great for a tech card and great for running in 3's (for only certain decks though).

Hmm I think I remember that game. Kaiba would do that alot but I remember I trolled the **** outa him one time when he did that for BEUD I believe and I just chained Magic Cylinder when he attacked and won.

But yea if its that yugioh championship game, that thing was pretty fun, cept the "tag" duels in it wernt really tag duels like the umbreon, and lumina duel or whatever you just beat one of the goons and yugi says "Good job I beat my guy as well.".....anyway enough drifting into the past----oh ****. This thread was about POA. I forgot that for a moment with my rambling. Pot of Avarice. LOL Um its fine at 1.

[noobie2k7]

PoA to 3!!! We all need more spam of everything this format herpa derp

[Gaspar]

You do not chain to an attack...

[AFuzzyMuffin]

You do not chain to an attack...

Bro its 2:16AM in the morning if you think I'm going to get techincal after answering those other questions you guys asked your wrong, but whatever its "responded to his declaration of attack with cylinder"

[Gaspar]

*attack declaration.
I am your deadpan snarker. You gave me material, deal with the consequences.

[ChemicalX]

The game you all speak of is eternal duelist soul Kaiba would do that a-lot and I'd laugh at him just by the sheer dumbness of the move :).

[Shining Blue-eyes]

Pot of Avarice should have been banned back in '05, it should be banned now.

[tmetal5788]

I would love if Avarice went to 2, but with tengu around, should stay at one
