<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am happy about the upcoming format because Norden is finally banned and Terrortop is at 1. Basically, it means decks are no longer -- pick a core set of cards and add spam engines to it. That being said, I still think True Dracos and Zoodiacs are the decks to beat. My update to my deck past June would be to take out Norden, Emeral, and Instant Fusion to add Maxx C and another Raikiri and Chidori.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am using some interesting techs this time around. Because we main deck Imperial Order and 3 Black Whirlwinds, main decking Master Peace is a strong tech. You can make Master Peace extremely resistant and get rid of Imperial Order when it is hindering your plays.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The ability to attack over your opponent's monsters is crucial because you want to be able to run over your opponent's Master Peace. Using Chidori's and Onimaru is a must this format because it gives you insane amount of attack power to run over True Dracos, Dinosaurs, and True Kings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I play tested this against Odd-Eyes Pendulum Magicians which is supposed to be the deck of next format in the June 2017 banlist and you can easily run them over with a side of Droll & Lock Bird, Ash Blossom, and Imperial Order. You don't need to stop their searches with Sky Iris, Duelist Alliance or Terraforming. Once you hit Wisdom-Eye or Pendulum Call, you basically minus them hard and force suboptimal plays. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Blackwing's ability to naturally swarm without triggering a mass loss of resources (such as Solemn Warning a pendulum of 5 monsters) is crucial to being able to play out bad fields. The addition of Icarus Attack, Cosmic Cyclone (as a side), and other traps gives it playability and the ability to slow or speed up the tempo of a game. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Steam is a great out to Drident because you can normal summon it, chain Icarus to Drident's destruction, destroy 2, special summon a token and continue your special summons. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think Blackwings will be a great competitors to the other TCG meta-kings until Link Format comes in July. However, I will probably be building out an Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon + Supreme King Z-Arc deck for post Link Format in the TCG. </div>

I've been studying up on a lot of cards and decks to finish these last 2 months before the new mechanics come. I've never really spent that much money on the game when I first started. I was in high school at the time and I didn't really have money. I just collected what people didn't wanted and had terrible luck with pulls. The only saving grace was tins -- I came back to the game from elementary school and found out about synchros! I got the Stardust Dragon from the tin and that was the best thing that I ever got. I was beginning to learn about strategies and how to build a deck from my friend Ming. I used to just add cards that looked cool or had effects and had a huge pile of mish mash. Now, I feel like I can speak better to balancing having a budget (yay! I get paid pretty well at work) and creating a fun enough deck that can do ok at locals (big and small). To be honest, getting 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place prizes is great but you get the OTS packs anyway! You learn a lot about your deck and side deck as well rather than going on YGOPro or something and just playing everything -- even cards you don't have.<br />
<br />
I have always played a lot of Winged Beast or Plant decks and I wanted to continue doing so rather than play Zoodiacs or True Dracos. I did consider playing True Dracos because I had pulled 2 Diagrams and 2 Master Peace during my sneak peek, I wanted to continue to have fun. I found a smaller locals with same prizes with less competitive decks (lots of elemental heroes, blue eyes, dinosaurs, etc). I often was middle of the pack at locals -- usually one to one win/loss ratio. I often end up 4-4 or 3-3, etc. so this is not too bad.
<br />

Side story -- I won a mat at locals! I always have had terrible luck with everything in Yugioh and my luck changed for once.
I was very excited when I found out about Predaplants and Lyrilusc cards in Maximum Crisis -- I ended up going with an Odd-Eyes Predaplant deck.
Here's the deck list:

I don't play traps in this deck. I highly considered running Solemn Warning, Solemn Strike x2, and Quaking Mirror Force x2. I also considered adding another Twin Twister to the deck. My consideration was this -- how often do I run up against stun decks and how do I have answers to back row. I ran through a whole lot of variants to figure out how to fight back row: testing more traps and spell removal, trying Archfiend Eccentrick, etc. I figured that my extra deck has Starving and Greed Venom and I have Raigeki and Dark Hole as removal. This however, comes up with multiple issues -- I expend a ton of resources in order to get through my opponent's back row and monsters, I can't kill Master Peace (it's often resistant to spells and monster effects), and Predplants slow down the normal pendulum process so I can't burst and go crazy like Magician Pendulums. This is actually something I'm still trying to work through. I think Cosmic Cyclone will be mandatory at two in the deck -- I'm just a bit hesitant at spending $50 for 2 spells, probably will end up doing it this week. With my thinking, it pretty much is mandatory to side deck Forbidden Chalice x2, Interrupted Kaiju Slumber x2, and 3 Kaijus to fight things like Drident, Master Peace.<br />
<br />
Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring brings an interesting change to the game because it can negate so many things. It makes Orphys Scorpio, Sky Iris, Lonefire Blossom and a lot of cards irrelevant in my deck. I'm going to play test the Orphys Scorpio and the Darlingtonia Cobra a bit more in this deck because I think Flytap and Spinodionaea is more important for monster removal. Sundew allow it to consider any monster with a counter on it as dark type so that is what makes it better than running Orphys Scorpio and Darlingtonia Cobra because Ash Blossom cannot stop it. Sundew is unique in that it allows you to use your opponent's monster but by no means is it the only built in polymerization of its kind -- Performapal Trump Girl and Curse of Dragonfire can both function as the role for your polymerization.<br />
<br />
My third thing is: hand traps. I think it is important to have 4-5 hand traps in the deck. I have Ash Blossom at two but some will have it at three. The best hand traps this format are probably going to be Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, and D.D. Crow. I decided that 4 was the best ratio because I can use the D.D. Crow as a dark material for fusion and Ghost Ogre as a tuner. I know that I wasn't going to just use Ash Blossoms carelessly as synchro material.<br />
<br />
I think it is important to have something like Ghattlinghoul that can inflict burn damage -- everything costs life. You have people running Imperial Order (8.75% life PER standby phase), Solemn Warning (25% life), Solemn Strike (18.75% life), Skill Drain (12.5% life), and Unending Nightmare (12.5% life PER use). With Ghattlinghoul, it is very easy to inflict at least 3000 damage (37.5% life minimum) easily. Most of the time, it inflicts close to 50% life. I often ran things like Ring of Destruction and Dark Strike Fighter to get the same effect -- especially when I couldn't overpower my opponent's monsters. I thought about using Ultra Polymerization to make sure it summons successfully -- I might drop something to add that since I don't run things that drain my life. This goes back to my idea that hand traps -- I think they are much better than traps because you don't have to expend a turn waiting to activate or be susceptible to spell/trap removal.<br />
<br />
Consideration for Supreme King Z-Arc. I thought about running this card with another Odd-Eyes Fusion and Miracle Synchro Fusion because I needed a strong beater and it had a decent effect. Only issue is the amount of cards it took to summon this -- it ends up not being worth it a lot of the times but is a great turn 2 opening.<br />
<br />
Predaplants is incredibly inconsistent. I tried combining them (before Maximum Crisis came out) with Phantom of Chaos, Dark Creator, and Necroface. Dark Creator allowed an instant Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon but was entirely useless if people negate Sundew's effect or summon. Predaplants cannot exist and play consistently without Pendulum Summon -- it gives a second chance to make a strong play to pull out a good fusion monster. Sarraceniant combined with Sky Iris and Duelist Alliance gives a strong search engine which improves the consistency of the deck. I don't think Predaplants can exist in pure form. It will take a lot more play testing to make Predaplant Odd-Eyes as consistent and good as Magician Odd-Eyes which has strong OTK potential. I am considering running a D/D(/D) Engine for better synchro support for the deck rather than Junk Synchron and Glow-Up Bulb.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone continues to enjoy the game -- even with link summoning. Find friends or a casual locals spot to play fun stuff if you can't afford the expensive top of the tier decks.

Mirror Wallmakimaki51ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00856715519402471720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415807194240403057.post-87810426782705105762010-10-02T16:32:00.001-07:002010-10-02T16:32:34.286-07:00immediate double postSeriously... i'm tired of people posting (not improvments) but trolls and attacks on other people's decks on pojo, youtube, blogs, etc.<br />
<br />
LOOK: no one's deck is perfect; everyone plays based on the meta in their area.<br />
<br />
1. if the meta in their areas isn't that great... their decks can't be compared to places with a stronger meta game... that's just logical<br />
<br />
2. tech choices and everything are preference if it stops working, people will move them out of the deck without you telling them it's shit it's stupid or something close to those lines.<br />
<br />
3. respect is key; you can't respect anyone, you can't respect yourself or the game in general<br />
<br />
so stop trolling<br />
<br />
go figure... trolls are idiots<br />
<br />
yea you have something productive to say but say it in a productive way... duhmakimaki51ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00856715519402471720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415807194240403057.post-53603546504305056542010-10-02T15:43:00.000-07:002010-10-02T15:45:13.137-07:00modgepodgereplace battle faders with swift attacking scarecrows<br />
<br />
although it does not summon a monster<br />
<br />
a. it ends the battle phase<br />
<br />
and <br />
<br />
b. it avoids rai-oh and oppression...<br />
<br />
<br />
what a lame card review >.><br />
<br />
the card of the format (for the sidedeck) should be dimension fortress weapon because it can prevent so many combos<br />
<br />
Lightlords <br />
Card Trooper (in quickdraw and others)<br />
Magical Merchant<br />
Dark Grepher and Armageddon Knight in Infernities<br />
Foolish Burial<br />
Future Fusion<br />
Empty Jar (needle worm)<br />
<br />
all those cards or decks become useless...<br />
<br />
btw mind crush is also incredible... i killed solemn warning like that so many times... mind crush, no negation, declare solemn warning...<br />
<br />
it's just so usable when people spam pot of dualities and act like pot of duality is a great card...<br />
<br />
Pot of duality is bad because:<br />
raioh prevents it from being used, not being able to special summon makes it a bad late game card, and it allows people to ditch the card you added to your hand<br />
<br />
True Six Samurai Kizan is going to make six samurais so much more playable in TCG... my friend and I made the deck and tested it out... it's one of the most consistent otk's especially when you have a six sam, grandmaster, and 1 or 2 gateways in your hand.. it always means 3-5 monsters summoned per turn. Six samurais make solidarity such a great card because they don't even rely on synchros. <br />
<br />
Starlight road is not a great card anyways >:( it doesn't work too well for a lot of people in locals because of so much 1 for 1 destruction combined with mass destruction... it makes it almost random. usually, decks are so much more readable but this format has made draws and decks way less readable... the comobs are similar but much more elaborate; decks need to be able to outlast an entire game. My body as a shield is a much more reliable card simply because I refuse to play solemn judgment or divine warning... I don't need to spend 2000 lifepoints negating something when I can just eliminate your monsters by traps or by battle<br />
<br />
Mirror Wall is simply a great card to keep on the field simply because of trap stun... if you begin your turn, you can chain a facedown trap stun so that if your opponent can't negate it, you don't have to pay 2000 lps for mirror wall and is a threat to your opponent for every turn it is on the field.makimaki51ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00856715519402471720noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415807194240403057.post-84114535819697910802010-09-30T09:21:00.000-07:002010-09-30T09:21:44.968-07:00Perfecting Blackwings Skill Drain VariantMonsters : <br />

The Lightlord Engine really helped speed the deck up and the lylas helped with the lacking destruction. I was able to spam solemn judgment so many times my lifepoints reached funky numbers LOL... the Ogress is so great for reusing card... the idea is to reuse cards like crazy and send your opponent's cards back to their deck so it is incredible... it destroys x-sabers when you send emmersblade back into their deck so they loose them... the ritual magic card is key b/c it keeps you from decking out and you can pitch shadow ritua to search it to ritual summon your ogre or ogress... :D I need one more ryko >:O and maybe a lumina but i don't think it's necessary... divine wrath really kills the deck but that's what the warning and judgments are for... pot of duality should not be ran in 3s b/c I need to ritual summon <br />
<br />
Spiritual Water Art and the Diva engine wasn't that great so I just took them out... Solar Reacharge is never dead card b/c for some reason, i keep redrawing my light lords after I recycle them<br />
<br />
The whole speed engine makes pot of avarice a useless card in this deck....<br />
<br />
THANKS TO ALL YOU YUGI-BLOGGERS U GUYS INSPIRED ME TO PUSH AWAY FROM META AND INTO FUN STUFF :Dmakimaki51ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00856715519402471720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415807194240403057.post-9532154937428599102010-09-05T17:13:00.000-07:002010-09-05T17:13:42.992-07:00Siding for new formatI'm going to tear apart my sidedeck and show it to you guys and I promise I'll try to explain (hint: TRY to) why I chose what I chose<br />
<br />
3x Fragrance Storm<br />
Plants and dandylions have been increasingly popular here especially in quickdraw decks. Sometimes, when they don't have defense they rely on their tokens after the blackrose from dandy debris combo to shield for the turn... if you can eliminate them and gain advantage then that would be good at least this card lets you run through the deck... but since I run blackwings... this card is meh... I might replace this with 2 trap stuns and 1 more guard but so far, this has been working ok... tytannial can really prevent this strategy but if they summon it... they're asking to get it destroyed<br />
<br />
1x Dust Tornado<br />
I main 1 so I side in for extra but I think 2 MSTs is good enough unless your opponent runs a trap heavy deck<br />
<br />
3x Transmigration Prophecy<br />
Very useful against gladiator beasts and any deck that utilizes pot of avarice I would side in all 3 if necessary... I saw a deck that topped with one but I don't suggest randomly having it in your deck<br />
<br />
2x Volcanic Queen<br />
helps you and doesn't help you... blackwing decks get messed up when they meet starlight road which negates most of your destruction but this card helps you get rid of monsters you don't want to necessarily destroy like scrap dragon... if you tribute scrap dragon or annoying beaters like colossal, it works and it forces your opponent to keep an extra monster or pay 1000... if they can't summon, they continue to pay 1000... That's why I like versality... I usually side my kycoos in and out of games so I can synchro for tempest magician... you're like... wow... tempest? what a useless card but burning can otk your opponent... I did that and it was fun :D<br />
<br />
3x Seven Tools of the Bandit<br />
yes! always side this... I never maindeck this but I always take out monsters and mind control just for all three of them and I leave them in there or take out one sometimes... it's just so great when your opponent trap stuns you and think they've got you or solemn (jugement/ warning) and you counter back.. PRICELESS card... the only thing is that it is vulnerable to MSTs and stuff which is why I put it at 3 instead of two<br />
<br />
1x Trap Stun<br />
I don't maindeck this or delta-anti crow reverse b/c 3 icarus, a dust, and 3 MSTs help me control the field for about 5 turns b/c my opponent runs out of steam... in the future... I might use more or just take it out... depends... I'm not really a big fan<br />
<br />
1x Nobleman of Crossout<br />
useful... getting rid of rykos Super-Nimble Mega Hamster which is really popular in TCG... i might get 2 more and take out the dust tornado and the fragrance storms<br />
<br />
1x Gravekeeper's Guard<br />
hey Shingen... WTF? side one... yea... I don't have anything good to side anymore so yea... it was just a filler but I like it b/c it bounces monsters it helps me avoid getting kaluted or honested... it's just good... I seem to draw it a bunch of times but yea... I'm going to get rid of it and something else when I get my second skill drainmakimaki51ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00856715519402471720noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415807194240403057.post-51122958603821191382010-09-04T23:41:00.000-07:002010-09-04T23:41:31.991-07:00Eviritua and Messed up tourney reportRitua Chain is the best card in the world combined with it's search engine and Eviritua Mind Ogress... you can abuse MONSTER REBORN and DARK HOLE multiple times in a duel with over powered ordering with ritua chain b/c it sets up for topdecking ! Trishula and brionac can also be recycled and I just spam my Deep Sea Diva engine to do it.... you really have to balance the monsters... im going to only have 1 soul ogre... take out the vanities and add a marker ... get ride of an abyss so I can add a mirror force... MST... and solemn warning... so yea... I hope I can update u guys soon..<br />
<br />
I ran a playtest Blackwing in a tourney and did ok.. meh.. lots of people at locals run anti-meta stuff like that... they seem to love GBs for some odd reason<br />
<br />
GLADIAL BEASTS AND LIGHT LORDS SUCK IN AMERICA BUT PEOPLE STILL USE THEM >:O<br />
<br />
Light Lords OO<br />
HE milled his monster reborn... mirror force... and dark hole on first turn... LMAO I topdeck all three on my next 3 draws... LOL<br />
Er.... yea... oppressions the Sh*T outta his JD and he lost<br />
<br />
Light Lords (Chaos)OXO<br />
Topdeck war.. I got oppression and won<br />
He killed me by spamming honest and chaos sorcerer... couldn't really do anything b/c he didn't really set anything<br />
He messed up b/c I kept piercing his lylas and rykos <br />
<br />
GBs OXO<br />
Shura kept spamming faster than my whirlwind so I won...<br />
Chariot... heraklinos on 2nd turn.. FML<br />
Blackrose-d and used dark creator vayu spam powers<br />
<br />
GBs XOO<br />
Gyzarus blew up everything before I could set up... he kept blowing away my oppression with his back row ...<br />
<br />
Second and Third rounds I just blew up all his stuff with icarus and negated all his stuff with my 3 seven tools and other stuff... I poked with bora, gale, and blizzard... :D tuners FTW<br />
<br />
Light Lords XX<br />
Both games... honest pwned my sirocco overpowered... he kept monster reborning my armor master... I forgot in the second duel that he couldn't reborn armor master special summoned by vayu FML<br />
<br />
yea... i seem to get really wired battles... i never got to play the quickdraw and zombie and other stuff before final round..<br />
<br />
Psychics OXO<br />
yea... I have no idea how he beat other ppl... he uses the ultimate psychiker thingy... but I blow up his field spell so he looses 28k lps in one turn...<br />
mind master spam and then healing spellss... wtf? he sided in stuff to mill the crap outta me to death... I have to say.. impressed<br />
blackwing spam and negate FTW<br />
<br />
Naturia XOO<br />
Didnt know how to stop bamboo shoot b/c i haven't really played it<br />
I sided fragrance storm!! :D you guys should too <br />
hmm... forgot<br />
<br />
Quickdraw XXX<br />
yea... just don't say anything he said he'd let me move to finals against the zombie beatdown if i killed him or i would have to lend him my ulti bamboo shoots if i lost...<br />
Tytannial is a freakn b*itch<br />
dandywarrior style.... I fragrance stormed but I drew like shit. and he solemn warninged all my stuff<br />
icarusing stuff to give opponent advantage isn't fun...<br />
<br />
OVERALL... 3rd place... $15 store credit... got 4 packs of duelist revolution...

I wouldn't really use traps in this deck though...<br />

Super EXPLOSIVE plays are now possible again! :). I like how pwn monster reborn and darkhole are. <br />
<br />
Later today I will post up my deck list but I currently found the duelist revolution in TCG to be a really good... REALLY good set. <br />
<br />
I use blackwings and will always use them. Zepher wasn't great... I could just use 3 blizzards... but this set has not blackwings but things to support them.<br />
<br />
2 specifics are elephun and unibird. Caius, macro, and other stuff can remove synchros easier so elephun helps with removed from play recovery or you can just use it to tune and unibird allows more graveyard recovery considering you can just reborn your opponent's monster/their gladiator beasts and remove them or just mind control gyzarus >:D.<br />
<br />
I need HELP from you guys though...

<br />
it's not a contest or anything but I want to run an original deck at the locals... at first I created a basic insect deck and it was funny for a while until it got oppressioned >.><br />
<br />
but anyways I need ideas LOL....<br />
<br />
Why is Shutendoji a good card? it's slow, and easily destroyed... it's not even a level 4 tuner. 1500 atk and 800 def... it's not that great to play but when it can be used repeatedly, it can be a deadly draw and rebirth engine... working well with plaguespreader, zombie master and even mezuki, multiple draws and reusing of plaguespreader....<br />
<br />
With draws and recover, in a few turns, shutendoji can created field and hand advantage which is extremely useful......<br />
<br />
<br />
oh.... as a side note, disturbance strategy is the best card to fight against infernities and stop their loop, wait until they SS archfiend then activate it to send launcher to their deck and they have a hand so they can't use infernity godly stuff :Dmakimaki51ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00856715519402471720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415807194240403057.post-58220346658629443112010-06-08T14:48:00.000-07:002010-06-08T14:48:24.666-07:00Ermm random banned card battlez???? I'm back from testing (in school)You know, declaring future fusion for absolute zero by sending malicious and a water type to the graveyard is pretty good, especially if you're using Armageddon knight or dark grepher. <br />

I made a deck for fun just to pwn my friend but I took out all the banned cards and stuff so here goes... it's like a mixture of stuff _____> the deck isn't competitive but i was just trying to combine different play styles.... Yea... it's a near 60 card deck b/c i can draw everything out quickly :# and i took out the pot of greed and everything so yea... people just play for fun gosh <br />
<br />
It works consistently as a set up deck but my friend keeps pwning me with his beaters that he SS's every turn like Black Luster Chaos Emperor Dragon and all that BS like crush card<br />

You need variants that are extreme and work together with all cards... Once can say that cards can be universal at all times... thus, I work to create a deck without a bad hand 100% of the time. I hear many duelists complain that they drew bad and lost but weren't you the one who put the card into the deck? Decks without bad draws have such crazy and varying combos are unpredictable and don't need sidedecks :P b/c there are infinite combos which can occur within the same card set... to be exact, if 7 card combos are the largest, there are 182101163069854828800 combos within that 7 card chain.... since 10 cards can be on the field at once, a 10 card combo has 98225367359879696547200 different ways it can occur... you see, yugioh is incredible in the fact that card variation is important because even with repetition, pulling off a combo is hard b/c of drawing the cards if you read my post about yugioh mathematics... drawing and setting off even 1 of these combos are hard b/c you don't know what your opponent plays...<br /><br />What your opponent relies on to beat you is fear... they play on your fear that you don't know what cards they have and the second thing they rely on is how well you know the deck... many times, when we see someone play blackfeathers, lightlords, plants, exodia, we tell ourselves, we know how the deck works and the only reason that is so is because we memorize a tiny fraction of those 54834 combos that we limit ourselves to... and that is exactly how you can destroy the meta decks...<br /><br />So how do you respond? Is it card reading that is important? Is it siding the right cards? Is it controlling the speed? All of these to some degree are important but it's just as Yugi says, we lack the heart of the cards... one thing that i always learned was use all your options you have and win by any means necessary... that doesn't mean waste all your cards... for example, if you look in your hand, you tell yourself, I don't need to use x card right now, I'll save it for later... wait? did you just think that? wrong way to make a deck... If you made a good deck, there is nothing you need to save for later... if you need to take the chance to pull it off now... if you don't your opponent can easily counter you... if you play so randomly and uncontrollably and pulling of crazy combos that are outsides of those 54834 combos others know, then you have defeated their strategy :)<br /><br />So... let's look at some of these decks or just talk about them...<br /><br />First up... Baha's birdman OTK deck <br />I like the concept ... sphere of chaos powerful searcher... I just don't see anything useless in it... Hmm... I think it's the best all monster deck out there... Inconsistencies I don't see... you cant draw stupid with that deck so good jobs to you... :3<br /><br />Second...

I kinda like taking out some traps and putting in a random d-draw and allure :3<br /><br />37 Monsters<br />2 Dhero Malicious<br />3 Gravekeeper spy<br />2 Cyber Dragon<br />3 Dark Grepher<br />3 Dark Creator<br />1 Dark Armed Dragon<br />3 Magical Merchant<br />1 Sky Scourge Noleras <br />1 Phantom of Chaos<br />2 The Trick<br />1 Chaos sorcerer <br />1 Card Trooper<br />1 Zombie Carrier<br />1 Sangan<br />3 Lightlord Doggy<br />1 Mystic Tomato<br />1 Grand mole<br />2 Battle Fader<br />2 Cauis<br />1 Krebons<br />1 Armegeddon Knight<br />1 Gorz<br /><br />Spells 3<br />1Heavy Storm <br />1Cold Wave<br />1Giant turnade <br /><br />Traps<br />1 Torrential Tribute<br />1 Mirror Force<br />2 Bottomless Trap Hole<br />2 Dust Tornado<br />1 Trap Dustshoot<br />1 Call of the Haunted<br />1 Solemn Judgment<br />1 D prison<br />So.... so much inspiration why not try a deck without bad draws myself?<br /><br />I chooooosssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee an insect deck >:3<br /><br />Monsters <br />Dark Creator 2<br />Relinquished Spider 2<br />Ground Spider 3<br />Koa'ki Meiru Beetle 3<br />Spyder Spider 3<br />Howling Insect 2<br />Mother Spider 2<br />Informer Spider 2<br />Krebons 2<br />Junk Synchron 2<br /><br />Spells<br />Allure <br />Verdant Sanctuary 3<br />MST <br />Heavy Storm<br />Earthquake 3<br />Insect Neglect 2<br /><br />Traps<br />Mirror Force<br />Call of the Haunted<br />Trap Dustshoot<br />Solemn Judgment<br />Spider Egg 2<br />Wabaku 2makimaki51ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00856715519402471720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415807194240403057.post-6184019263785410542010-04-17T13:54:00.001-07:002010-04-17T13:54:59.290-07:00Im Tired so just a thought:urgent tuning in new beast decks?makimaki51ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00856715519402471720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415807194240403057.post-16981961259963780742010-04-16T12:08:00.000-07:002010-04-16T12:08:23.637-07:00Cactus Fighter OTKMonsters (23):<br />

LOL improvements plzmakimaki51ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00856715519402471720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415807194240403057.post-37364162020888685612010-04-15T20:49:00.000-07:002010-04-15T20:49:50.233-07:00DREVUnibird, Scrap Squall, and even Pot of Greederosity are really good cards for the new archetypes...<br />
<br />
unibird allows us to utilize synchro summons and our ability to mind control or brain control another synchro to let us get back things we want...<br />
<br />
if we have a goyo in the graveyard, we can just mind control the stardust our opponent summoned with starlight road, remove it along with unibird to get back out goyo....<br />
<br />
scrap squall allows scrap decks to mill decks and draw em out... 2 cards for the cost of drawing and sending a card is better than gemini spark b/c you can chain it like that to destroy your own monster and make your opponent waste cards...<br />
<br />
pot of greederosity is the card to draw you out of a bad hand when your hand is depleted or depleting... pick the top 3 cards of your deck and choose one of em to add to your hand.. it's like a random rota, spell, or trap caller... downside is that you can't special summon and you have to reveal the other two cards but who cares? if you can manage to block your opponent or even set a call of the haunted, it can't save you for a few turns :D<br />
<br />
Duelist Revolution truly fits its title as we see more plays...<br />
<br />
imagine, mind control a trishula and remove it with unibird just to bring back a stardust or something or do that with stuff like brionac in a x-saber deck b/c of your low lvl synchros...makimaki51ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00856715519402471720noreply@blogger.com0
