My question comes from the fact that I want to build like almost 15 different decks in real life, some that I'll use competitively and the others are fun decks, and I was just wondering if that's weird and/or stupid to do. So how many decks that are fully functioning do you guys have in real life?

Only one, I have the skeletons for 3-4 others and I just move staples to whichever one I feel like using

Don't feel like getting 12 MSTs for all my decks >.>

Well the extra deck stuff I'll probably just move around but I want all of them to be equipped with what they need. I plan to just get those decks and then buy no more cards for a very long time, if ever again, in mass quantities.

In RL I have a fully functioning GB deck and a semi-functioning Macro deck that I hate.

I only really have one functioning Gravekeeper deck in real life and bits and pieces of at least 2 other decks. Considering the fact that some cards can be real difficult to come by sometimes, having a gauntlet of 15 decks is kind of impossible and pretty bad for your wallet. I would say 2-4 is a good number though.

Well I don't have anything else to really spend on right now and I have a pretty decent job... plus most of the cards I want, the most expensive will probably be like 5 dollars while the rest cost less than a dollar.

So far, I have zero functioning decks.  Problem is I don't want to spend my money on certain cards with the ban list being so close right now.

Probably going to get some Hidden Arsenal 6 packs, and see if I pull any Giskis.

I also don't have any on the account that i took apart the one semi functioning deck I had to start building my warrior deck. But yeah at one point i had 6-9 decks built that I played against myself with. Of course none of them were very strong but they worked. Kinda... then one day i had to pick thme up and the got all mushed together so they are no more. But they were decent enough for playing with.

Hmm in RL, I have a Dark World Deck, a Machina Gadget Deck, a HERO Deck, a Batteryman Deck, a Dragon Deck, and a Six Sam deck.  Somewheres, theres the remains of an Insect Deck and a Dino Deck too.

It should be noted, that while all except for the Insect and Dino decks, all are functional, just only the Machina Gadget deck is competively built (and even then, it lacks the powerhouse Extra deck it calls for, namely no Roaches or Brio, but beyond that, pretty much like my Deck Depot deck  minus the Xyz cards except for Utopia).  My Six Sam deck COULD easily be made to be competive if I bought two more Structure decks and bought the target bundle with Shi En in it.

My HERO deck still needs some tuneing (luckily I have the best Masked Heros already).

The Dragon, Dark World, and Batteryman decks are both outdated and would need some fine tuening to be competitive.

I'm a fairly competitive player IRL, but I have limited resources. When I build a deck to be "fully-functional," that means optimal, card-for-card. I do not use a deck unless it's exactly the way I want it to be. As such, I can usually only have one deck at a time. Occasionally there will be a deck that I want that is really cheap (I still have my chain burn deck somewhere), but usually I have to trade cards out of my most recent deck to finish off the next one.

At this moment I only have 1 deck completely built, my HERO beat deck.

The one I'm building right now though is my Watt deck, I don't have everything yet but that's to be expected after being out of the RL competitive circuit for over 4 years lol.

I currently have a BW deck and Skill Drain Deck. Only cards I have to move around are cards from the Extra Deck.

I only have 1 set of staples (1 Dark Hole, 1 Reborn, 2 Warnings and so on), so I can only build 1 Deck at a time.

But as "functional builds" are concerned, let's see...

HERO (Bubblebeat, Drain, Gate, classic Fusion, Electrum Fenix, Alive, Neos Beat), Junk (pure Junk, Chaos Junk Doppel, Quick Junk Doppel, Machina Junk, Neo-Spacian Junk), Fiends (Necrofear build), Bushi Synchro, SKY FIRE, DARK (Norleras, Strike Ninja-based), Chimeratech OTK, Cyber Dragon-based, Jinzo-based, Machina Gadget (classic and Offering), Blackwing (classic, Graveyard, Swallow's Nest with Simorgh), Karakuri (OCG-style, Neutron-based, Duplication + Castle-based), Anti-Meta, T.G. (Stun, Synchro), LIGHT Beat, Chaos (Salvo, Stun), Agents (Monster Mash, "classic", Lightray), Gallis variants, Nordics (Thor-based), Beasts (King of the Beasts-based), Fortune Ladies (Future Visions-based), Worms (Control-type and Aggro-type), Rock Stun, Multi-Piece Golem Fusion, Frognarch (Classic or Lancer), Frogs (Wetlands-based), Plants (Inmato-based and Gigavise), Mist Valley, Empty Jar, D-HERO (Diva Zero, anything with a D-HERO engine), Genex Ally, Malefic Geartown Drain, Crashbug, Flamvell Synchro and...

I think that would be it, I can't remember anything else ATM. I have too many cards, I should sell stuff.

I... kind of have this tendency to get stuff but never sell anything, so I end up with lots of stuff. I also have like 5 binders full of cards I collect for no apparent reason >_>;;
