@SorrowTheMad: I try not to let the open water one get to me, because my dad is a sea captain lol. But there were times on the boat where I was afriad there was a shark or something nearby that could hurt you. Good news is that you are safe in the boat. OMG I read that series all the time as a young kid. I was afraid too, but for some reason I would keep reading them.
I heard that Magic was good about keeping the power creep down even though it's been around for so long and I really respect that. Yu-Gi-Oh just made everything stronger after a new anime was out so that you would get rid of your deck and make a new deck around the current machinate
