I wanted to find out about getting started in this game and I have a couple of questions on getting started.
First question is: as far as the "Trade-up promotion", can I send any deck of another CCG or do I send a tourney legal deck of any CCG I don't play anymore. ( I have a lot of old MTG cards and some are out of format and I didn't want to send one and get rejected. It'd be a waste of money and time.)
Second question is: I've heard alot about rotation of sets and I still didn't understand how do they rotate? Does this mean that certain card sets will become illegal after so long? I hate to have a good deck going and before I can get too far with it it becomes old and illegal.
Third and final question: I play Yu-Gi-Oh! (No I'm not one of those jerk players! I'm of the honorable bunch. I've even played over the phone against other YGO! players and never cheated. I play for fun not to win, it's a difference!!!) and I run into a lot of obnoxious and arrogant players who win mostly by over-powered cards and not by strategy. Is that a problem with UFS?
The reason I'm asking is because I'm taking a break from Yu-Gi-Oh! and hoping to find a better and hopefully, cheaper CCG to play. I'm looking to avoid those that are based on winning by having outrageously rare cards and super broken decks. I like for one's strategy to matter and not their collection. Also, I'm not trying to sound like a jerk or anything but FFG is an American based game and I figured by it being home based it wouldn't have as many issues as foreign based CCGs. I love Yu-Gi-Oh but I'm not a fan of all of the drama behind it so I hope that UFS is a little more fun. Perhaps fun enough for me to divorce all other CCGs and marry UFS. If I was based in Japan, sure I'd love YGO but I'm not and I hate looking at japan only cards that I can't play. It's a terrible tease. lol. Anyways I've pondered the idea of playing a Guile deck or a mix martial artist themed one. : )
