Guess I am back
 

Well after taking a 4 set hiatus from this game, I've decided to come back and play this game. So I have a few questions, and thanks for the answers in advance.

1. What sets, promos and reprints are legal? (A link to an answer would be great.)

2. What decks are "meta"?

3. What decks/cards are people raging/whinging about?

4. Is JDragon still #1?

Welcome back my good man! :D

1) - Sets 22-26 are all legal. 27 will be legal on January 4th 2013. There's a list of legal reprints somewhere that i'm to lazy to find, Loopy Fist and Wind Scythe are legal due to reprinting, and of course Set 27 has some reprints you can find on Facebook.

2) - Lightning/Fire has been seeing most play, whether rush or NvS. Revitalize is an auto-pilot deck thats cheap to build and easy to run. There's also-perma earth that abuses Determination to Protect. Set 27 is showing promise to Tailed Beasts, Chakra depletion, and Fire/Wind now as well. It's pretty diverse.

3) - Most people are whining that set 27 has some "eh" cards, so no real problems there. A lot of people are predicting tetragram to get a limit or banning with the new Jonins Intervention, and other than that I haven't heard much. Again, not to many problems in the format.

4) - Usernames are unable to be changed so yes, JDragon#1

Answers in bold.

Thanks guys, very appreciated....is Tobi the Great still not banned?

We haven't heard much from him really, like at all, but no he's not banned.

Using the card engine thing and then setting the filter to block legal reprints...and it shows that Make Out Tactics (M666) is still legal?

Yeeeeaaah no, the filter just needs updating. Whenever that happens. Here, lemme see if I can find that list real quick.
Edit: Wow, he actually stickied it. here ya go
There's Set 27 reprints coming as well, but I cant access FB right now.

As usual, you're one of my favorite forum goers, thanks again.
