Taking a rogue deck and making it good......Is it possible?

Ok, In my endless effort to make my Junk/Synchron deck atleast competitive. I've discovered that it's so freaking hard to do man! Like any ideas would be greatly appreciated lol. But yeah just kind of makes me wonder why do some decks seem like they're outdated? And is it possible to take a low tier deck and actually turn it competitive?

well i mean, now that bulb is at 1 running the plant engine in synchrons is viable, like truelly viable, speed is of essense in the here and now so hopefully, in the near future we get noden in tcg, and then u can run instant fusion to just run amok and make complete and total mayhem with synchrons those of which id experiment combining,

The junk/shync deck is totally playable,if u get it right u can get a low tier 2 deck,or higher,Adding the lonefirex2+spore+dandylon+bulb to ur junk deck its really good 4 ur speed,if u get the right cards this deck is able to get quasar in 1 turn and go super+

They still suck ass

u can make most decks be able to compete its the question of being able to compete on a consistant level to compete at consistant level u really have to play a tier 1 to high tier 2 deck of the format. You can take a deck like junk syc and play but u have to find u a way to counter the meta in your main deck to do so

junk deck still have some support cards still not released yet....... junk deck will become better^^

Look, as an enthusiast of rogue decks, im gonna explain it the best way i can.
When looking at the playability of a deck, you have to look at a few things.
Consistency; Does this deck constantly do what it was intended to do? Without overextending? Does what the deck accomplishes have value vs what is normal during (insert current format)? You gotta realize that times change and so do both the styles of play and the availability of cards. If the deck is making sub-par plays even when you get the nuts then it may be time to reconsider your approach.
Speed; Does this deck take a lot of time to set up? Can it explode from turn one?(see consistency) Is it reliant on one aspect of play, or can it switch styles if necessary? If your deck is monster reliant then the best thing to do is to get to them faster and make sure they keep their individual values as plays. If it's spell/trap reliant then the best thing to do is to make your few monsters count.
Relativity; You dont have to be a master to know that some cards have literally just lost all relevance. Some have their gimmicky uses still today but for the most part the past remains in the past. If you're using sub-par versions of cards we have better versions of, you're missing out on stuff (example; Seven tools vs wiretap. ) If your deck's boss monster does things that 90% of decks literally just play around then this is also a sign that it might be time to change.

These are just a few of the things i keep in mind when i pick a rogue deck to investigate. If the deck still does great stuff and has access to unique options then you just have to find a style of play that makes it work for you. I always wanted to try hunders but they depend on s/t support to protect whatever they make and run out of monsters quickly in pure build. So what did i do to fix this? I spliced in Batteries(9v and micro cell) so that pa/ma always had a partner that searches himself. I spliced in artifacts so that they had beaters and some bluff s/t options(Since hunders dont present a big threat on their own people generally go after your backrow and artifacts expound on that).
Just yesterday this same deck beat shadollsworn in rated match.

yea pretty much what devin said,you just have to know a deck well like devin with fk,BU with mermail,Gabe with books,hell i could go on rattling off ppl.key thing they all have in common,all have been in wars and seen the meta so much its become kinda like a blur

It's true. Part of knowing which rogue decks to bother with is to know what is going on with the meta.

Eh DLNC i disagree dawg you can play tier low 2 - low 3 and still compete DNF level consistently

ever heard of gogogos beating shaddolls? so yes u can make it but you will have a tuff time
