But the tourney seems to be central to what will happen later in the RP, ditching it doesn't seem like a good idea. Maybe there should be a deadline for the completion of duels or something, or maybe before a bracket is made, people can discuss their usual posting times to set up a time when they should duel (and have it go in order of which ones can get done quicker).
@Keyblade: Lightsworns are pretty good, I tried making a deck of them just yesterday, but failed. It seems that I'm only good at making decks that deal with fiends, dark attribute monsters, or dragons.
I think I'll still keep the Iswarm deck, but make a character whose personality suits their theme of corruption more. He won't be evil or anything, but maybe there will be more aspects to him that don't make him out to be noble or anything.
Or I can make a new character that runs Ghostricks, those guys are super fun to play xD!
