Pot of Duality

[cyslim5]

Like I said to someone else today, duality is a good card but people over rate it. Running it in sabers really isnt a good idea imo, same for infernities, they slow the deck down more than speed them up...and frogs shouldnt even touch this card. Me personally, ill be using it in my new dark magician build along with gold sarco when SE comes out. Imo bottom line is, this card is slow and is overrated simply because it is one of 3 generic draw cards we have thats legal...the other 2 being reckless and upstart.

Erm, OCG not only runs Duality in Infernities, but they run at least 2 copies of it? It's real good, that's for sure. Granted, it sets you back a turn, but the combo piece you get off Duality is probably more than enough to get your opponent frightened into believing they only have 1 turn left before they get OTK'd by triple Trishula.

Sabers could run it. They only Special Summon when they go for huge plays, and Duality actually sets up big plays by choosing backrow hate or the necessary combo part required so that they can go for the kill next turn.

Frog Monarchs can actually run Duality thanks to Gorz/Battle Fader/Tragoedia meaning that the "no SS clause" is laughable. But a high monster count can put this idea out of the window.

In general, the "no SS clause" is laughable when you put huge pressure on the opponent.

Also, being able to choose which out of the top 3 cards you want is huge. And Duality has no huge drawbacks like Reckless Greed and Upstart Goblin in the fact that you're not giving your opponent something in return for the card you draw.

However, what I have said is not intended to be intepreted as "Use in everything", because sometimes there just isn't space, or its drawbacks conflict with the deck it is being used in. Take Gladiator Beasts for example. Outside of the first turn, you really don't want to draw into Duality as you need those Special Summons to get you advantage. It's also risky with Lightsworn since you can't SS any milled Wulfs.

I'd say that Duality is a near-splashable draw card.

It's really good in Cat Synchro, since you won't be Special Summoning for the first few turns anyway.

I mentioned Synchro Cat in the list

stun gadget,chaos stun
most anti meta decks except maybe eatos?
standard beatdown decks

D-Eatos can actually run Duality. You just don't drop Eatos turn 1 or you use it after Eatos has been summoned.

Standard Beatdown is a bit vague IMO.

If i happen to get any PoD the only decks i plan to run them in would be Little City, and Eatos but i doubt ill be able to get my hands on multiple copies or even one at that.

[Drunken Fist]

Honestly, I would run at least 1 PoD in all of my decks, it's really that good. And at 1 it won't make that much damage to a deck that SS a lot. Besides it is likely to be Limited as well :/

[LIGHTNINGBLITZ]

Anti-Meta in general; Black Wings. That is about it. Most other decks still need to special summon to win, so the card is not going to be Meta-breaking. Its splashable in the OCG, but the TCG operates differently.

Seems great for exodia builds

I'm going to run this in my Simochi FTK, and might give it a shot in my Exodia and Chaos too, but I don't know for sure.

Really any deck besides Glads. It looks fun in a turbo Ice Barrier deck. Let's see the max draw cards: 3 Caravan 3 Strategist 3 Blizzard 3 Moray of Greed 3 Pot of Duality. Then maybe some PoAs. ]. Tbh it's good in most decks bc it let's you set up effectivley.

I don't understand your persistence on 3 Caravan in Ice Barrier's... Anyways...

Decks I would like to test Pot of Duality in:

Counter Faries
Blackwing's
Infernity
Anti-Meta (City Builds, mostly)
Synchro Cat

Other than that, the card seems counter-productive in most builds.

Combo decks as well could benefit from this. I for one would love this in my Appropriate Exodia build, and any other Exodia would probably like it too. Burn decks can draw into their key card quicker, and such decks don't often SS anyways, beyond the possible Lava Golem.

It's also a great addition in Counter Fairy builds, allowing you to grab a counter trap, or a Bountiful Artemis is always nice.
