TCG Help (includes Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, Duel Masters, etc.)

[Kenny_C.002]

So here's a place where you can ask questions about your TCG and have them answered by (hopefully) an expert of the game (or a will-be expert. lol)

[Skrin]

Actually, this is my friends request, since he can't join here. What is the best mono-nature deck? BTW, here's his deck right now, which he's trying to make mono-nature:

Forest hornet 3

Dome Shell 2

Silver axe 1

Poisonous mushroom 1(Guess where he got this card? :tired: )

Emerald grass 2

Mighty shouter 4(He likes elephants :paranoid: )

Deathblade beetle 1

Bronze Arm tribe 3(2 regular, one he got from the DM game)

Tri-horn shepherd 1

Burning mane 3 (Again, guess :tired: )

Esscence Elf 2

Elf X 1

Golden wing Striker 2 (Ugh :tired: )

Fear fang 2 (One word: Mine :tired: )

Marrow ooze, the Twister 2 (Hey, I said he was trying to go mono-nature :P )


Dimension gate 1 (I'm not even gonna answer this one)

Fonch, The oracle 1

Black feather, Shadow of Rage 1

Grey ballon, shadow of greed 1

Swamp worm 2

Chaos worm 1

Boar Hammer 1

Wyn, The oracle 1

And finally...

Barkwhip, the smasher 1

Now, what's the best deck he can aim for that's mono-nature, as in there are only nature cards in the deck? ;)

[Kenny_C.002]

Right now the best mono-green deck I can think of is basically all mana acceleration of some sort and then you throw in some big creatures and voila! :P

I highly recommend stuff like the bronze-arm tribe for the starting mana accelerations (the two evolution guys are good, too). The key is playing Elf-X's (I have no idea why nobody plays them, I mean they are prime targets for hammers so that you other guys won't die and if they aren't hammered, you're lowering the cost...), and I recommend having 4 copies of them.

Basically put all the middle-ranged cards away and put on the big guns and little mana accels. Evolution can also help with the final push (although likely the masses of doublebreakers will do the trick to begin with). I also recommend the beetle (costs 5, double breaker also), those guys give a quick enough offense and is online by turn 6.

[Skrin]

Oh, I don't know, maybe because a DUEL YAMMER said elf X's were too costly, to play Esscene elves instead. :badsmile:

But, I'll recomend them still to him, k? :nervous:

P.S: Kenny, have you considered becomeing a Duel Yammer? :bandit:

[Kenny_C.002]

It's cuz Essense elves DO NOT lower the cost of creatures, that's why. I personally feel the ability itself costed about 3, that's why I thought the elf-X was good. It's a shame that green doesn't have that many spells to abuse the essence elves...

No, I have no idea what Duel Yammers are (like what kinda of organization/fan club it is).

[Skrin]

Well, kenny...

Duel yammers are fans of Duel masters that are members of pojo.com, the best site for strategies for most popular TCGs. Just become a member there, then E-mail the guy with your article, and he'll post it!! :)

[Kenny_C.002]

oic. Pojo again. lol I should have known they were behind this. :P

Anyway, I'm not an exceptional player in Duel Masters, as I'm not really built for this type of strategy setting right now...but I can still help. :P

[Skrin]

Well, there's also a division for magic. If you want to you can send your articles about magic there. :)

[Kenny_C.002]

Yeah. I used to go there...was never pleasant. lol

[Skrin]

Ehehe...

Sorry. :(

Nvm then :P

[Kenny_C.002]

It's all good. I mean, things aren't what they always seem! :P

[Skrin]

Hey, did you notice that only you and me post in this topic? :P


Anyways, why did you leave that site? :\

oh wait. don't tell me. They called you a n00b and bashed you badly. That's what happened to me in the pkmn section. :disappoin

[~Ozy~]

Okay, I'm looking for a nice, loose, and easy to construct mono-Green deck. Having built my competitive decks, I need something for local play. Preferably something that can crush White, as most of my friends play White.

[Kenny_C.002]

Okay. Question: Duel Masters or MTG? I don't want to be posting two decks (also MTG would be like Type what?).

And Bob: they think our n00bish behaviour is bad for them, right? lol It's all good.

[~Ozy~]

MTG, it's the only card game that can hold my interest for any length of time. I don't really car what type, I just need something fun to play and none too expensive.

[Kenny_C.002]

Wow. Mono-green...that's tough man (i.e. green's my worst colour and my least fav. colour). lol

how about this one?

4 Llanowar Elves
4 Quirion Elf
4 Wirewood Symbiote
4 Wood Elves
4 Wirewood Hivemaster
2 Viridian Zealot
4 wellwisher
4 voice of the woods

4 vernal bloom
4 plow under
2 beacon of creation

20 forest

This deck is OKAY at best tho. I can't think of anything but elf decks right now. I need directions to go further (like my angeless entity deck that doesn't work if it's mono-green). Come to think of it, I dont' think I have anything in mono-green b4...

[Skrin]

Hey, kenny, I just found something cool...


To tell if somebody's talking about magic or DM, listen if they're talking about colors or elements. (Ex: if they're aiming for a deck that can crush white, they're talking magic, and if they're aiming for a mono-light, they're talking DM)

[Kenny_C.002]

That's a good idea, but ppl can still never tell whether I'm talking about DM or MTG tho. I say the same thing for them both. (e.g. white is white in both lol)

[MiNuN*]

Well, what do U think of it? :nervous:

[Kenny_C.002]

First, I'd like to say that you're doing white/red. It's not the best combination, but it works along the lines of "you having the rush, but can fall back to blockers". My recommendation is to have more crimson hammers and take out your bigger red monsters (like cost 5 guys or something like that). Also the traveler (like more) might be of aid too (it's a 4-costing innocent blood, but still).

I recommend a card in white called "diamond cutter". This is a better card than holy awe offensively, but it is nowhere near in terms of defense, when compared to holy awe. My recommendation here is probably keeping the awe and just adding one or two diamond cutters in place of logic cube and your lancer.

btw, you should probably take out all the blue at this point and ut in white and red cards instead. this gives your deck more focus that way. btw, did I ever tell you I'm horrible with tri-colour decks in Duel Masters? I'monly good mono- and di-coloured decks from what I know. lol

[Skrin]

Well actually,I plan only to keep three water cards in my entire deck. :surprised Two hulcuses, and lancer. :P


BTW, Logic cube is there FOR seraching for diamond cutter when I get it. :P

But once I get that new light unblockable, lancer will get lanced! :P


And also,Next saturday or sunday, I'm getting kokjuo's darkness deck!! :Badsmile:

And something funny about shobu's fire deck(The theme deck). It's nothing like Shobu's in the anime!! For one thing, I've never seen shobu play armored cannon balbaro. and Where's Bolshak dragon?? :dead: And another thing, what happened to gattling and scarlet? :\

And one other thing...

WHERE'S THE ALL MIGHTY RULER OF THE HUMAN RACE AND SUPER RARE EVO OF THE FIRE CIVILAZATION, ARMORED BLASTER VALDIOS!?!?!?!? :confused:


My guess is so no newbs can get there hands on really rare cards instantly. ;)

[Kenny_C.002]

There are still only 2 sets at this point, so all evo cards have to be in the expansion set. lol I think the dragons are both in the first set (well the starter dragon is in the starter set. lol).

Anyway, with 3 blue cards in your deck, you'll rarely be able to cast any of them due to the fact taht they'll need blue cards in the mana zone to begin with. I'm saying just get rid of them for something more productive than "mana" or "rarely usable card".

[MiNuN*]

Are you guys talking about Magic or Duelmasters?
I don't have a deck but I'm going to write down all the cards i found in my cardboard (btw its Magic if you haven't already guessed)
1000x Mountain (i cant count) (1 shiny)
1000x Island (I cant count) (1 shiny)
1x Worldgorger Dragon (shiny)
1x Violent Eruption
1x Skywing Aven
1x Chainflinger
2x Swelter
1x Shower of Coals
1x Dwarven Scorcher
1x Churning Eddy
2x Barbarian Bully
2x Barbarian Lunatic
1x Aven Fisher
...bah who caers, I'm too lazy to list them out, theres too many.

[Skrin]

Correction, kenny. Don't you remember about the all-mighty Bolzard Dragon, A great mana destroyer for a deck that don't have green in it? ;) He's in the Evo set.


Well, next time I get a booster pack, I'll replace them with better things, until I get Bolazard dragon, That light unblockable whos name I can't remember, and....*Insert inspirational music in here*


LADIA BLADE,THE INSPIRATIONAL!!!:badsmile:

[Deoxys55]

I have a question about YGO:
Where can I find the card "Joyfull Doom"? I've been looking everywhere for it!

[Skrin]

Hey, Kenny, I'm thinking of making a mono-darkness deck seperate from my main deck. What cards should I include in it, besides of course obviously includeing Ultracide worm? :laugh:

[Kenny_C.002]

to Deoxys: The card doesn't seem to be in a set before Ancient Sanctuary. I'm not completely sure still. All I know is that it's not an old card.

Bob V: Sorry, database errors happen as usual. lol btw, the unblockable white card is Ethel, Star Sea Elemental. It's a rare from the expansion set.

Mono Black murder:

4 horrid worm
2 chaos worm
1 utlracide worm
4 stinger worm
4 amber piercer
4 poison worm
4 bloody squito
4 death smoke
2 dark clown
2 wandering braineater
4 writhing bone ghoul
4 terror pit
1 dark titan maginn or bone assassin, the ripper

Horrid wurm is arguably one of the best commons right now. It's just incredbly rediculous how powerful it is. anyone playing black should have 4 copies of this guy. Again, just more creature removal I've got. You have some more wurms to play with so your evolutions won't be in trouble (getting out-wise). I've added some blockers that die quickly and also stinger wurms that force you to sac stuff. It's okay, since the amber piercers are there to replenish your supplies. Just make sure you can block so your piercers won't die as quickly (you only need it to attack twice to gain card advantage. this holds true with horrid wurms too). I can say that this deck is probably more annoying than anything else. lol

[Skrin]

Thanks, Kenny, I'll get cards for that black deck as well as for my usual deck. :knockedou


BTW, haveU heard of da new theme deck comin' out, Hakuo's light Deck? :shocked:

[Kenny_C.002]

No, haven't heard of much news in Duel MAsters (dont' keep up lol).

[Skrin]

Actually, there's not a hakuo's light deck-yet. ;)


I just figured that after they show the final episode of shobu-vs-hakuo, they'll release a light themed deck. :laugh:

[Kenny_C.002]

O. You see, I don't even watch the anime show either. lol

The only Anime I'm watching right now is InuYasha (well I watch old skool Dragonball sometimes lol).

I don't know whether I would keep myself updated on Duel Masters either. lol

[Skrin]

OOO, Inuyasha??

Did ya see they have a new ending theme??

It's title includes the word "Heart" in it, but I can't remember da rest.XD

And BTW, I'm mad at AS for squeezeing in Futurama and Aqualab. They should've just kept saturday anime night. :(

But enough about anime!! I'm getting some DM Booster packs 2morrow!!

And one other question, Kenny...


What rating would ya give DM??

I know it would still be lower than magic, but still how would ya rate it?? :P

[Kenny_C.002]

Duel Masters? Probably like a 7.5 out of 10. I just absolutely hate the fact that instants don't exist. It made the significant 0.5 drop...

YGO, if you're wondering, is at 6 out of 10.

btw, new theme is "Every Heart" by BoA. I was so mad since YTV started over AGAIN from the beginning, after a couple of episodes into the fourth ending (I think they stopped just before the third opening). grrrrrr.

[Skrin]

Well, in the anime either they have instances, or the turns pass by really quick.XD


And Yeah, I don't live in canada, so instad of YTV, I rely on adult swim.XD


But da good thing is(At least 4 me! XD), over here in america, I'm getting brand new episodes of inyuasha EVERY SATURDAY!!!@_@


Oh yeah. I forgot that Canda gets everything late.

Well, enough bout anime!!!

I'm getting my booster pack 2night!! Wish me luck on getting an explosive fighter ucarn!!! XD

[Kenny_C.002]

Well any luck?

I got Razormane Masticore, so now I need 1 more. lol

[Scyther5]

Well, how bout the new Set of Rampage? Any one Pick those up? I got like 3 pack..I'm not even sure if its supposta be out yet.

[Kenny_C.002]

No. Shoulda come out middle of August. probably there are early shipments tho.

[Scyther5]

Yeah, I guess they wern't supposta seel the yet XD, well I got a good haul from those three packs to holos =D

[Deoxys55]

._.;
I'll try and se if Joyful Doom is in the new wierd Chaos thingy pack. XD Anyway, another question..
Have they even released Blue Eyes Ultimite Dragon in English? Need it for my deck, so I can summon the Blue Eyes Shining Dragon. :D

[Scyther5]

Well actually,I plan only to keep three water cards in my entire deck. :surprised Two hulcuses, and lancer. :P


BTW, Logic cube is there FOR seraching for diamond cutter when I get it. :P

But once I get that new light unblockable, lancer will get lanced! :P

My guess is so no newbs can get there hands on really rare cards instantly. ;)
Trust me, if you plan on getting any water cards out, youu'll have to have more than just 3.

[Kenny_C.002]

I don't think BEUD is actually out in English yet. However, the level guys (i.e. next set) are coming soon. lol
