Rate this rag-tag deck.
So, like, I recently got back into Yu-Gi-Oh! after a two year hiatus from it. Thought I might take this one here for some rateage.
So, I built this deck out of all my old cards, meaning I don't have any of this new synchro-stuff (though I will get into this new stuff pretty soon) going on. I don't plan on going to any tournaments, so I'm obviously going by the Traditional Format. And, I'm no expert deck builder, so don't be all OMG UR DECK SUX L0L. I need someone to point out the flaws, I can notice flaws in it. Well, here's the list. Head over to Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia if you need to see the effects or w/e of some of these cards. Deck total: 44 Extra Deck total: 1 Trap cards: 10 Spoiler:
Magic/Spell cards: 11 Spoiler:
Monster cards: 23 Tribute required monsters - Spoiler:
Non-tribute monsters - Spoiler:
Fusion/Extra Deck monster(s): Spoiler:
Tips, people? Like I mentioned before, flaws obviously exist in that deck. I'm thinking of removing the fusion involved cards altogether, too much trouble just to get one monster out. With the lifepoint involved cards, I'm also thinking of removing them too. Maybe messenger of peace would work well, or maybe The Dark Door? I'm thinking of adding Graverobber to the traps. |
This deck doesn't really cut it for Traditional Format. Traditional is just another subset of tournament format, only you can use otherwise banned cards. It's a bit more broken than Advanced Format, but every deck will basically have the same backbone containing cards like Cyber Jar and Raigeki, etc.
This deck is more suited for Casual Format, but I'm not saying much else. Of the cards in your deck, many are too weak and can be replaced by more formidable cards. These include: Dragon's Bead (outclassed by other Counter-traps, though they're all really expensive) Life Absorbing Machine Backup Soldier Blast With Chain Shift Toll Dark Factory of Mass Production Polymerization (with this build) Mausoleum of the Emperor Curse of Dragon Spirit Caller Gray Wing Baby Dragon Hane-Hane (Penguin Soldier outclasses it) Spirit Ryu Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1 You've got something good going on here though, with Dragons and whatnot. They're a very formidable archetype. With some proper backup and more copies of some strategic cards, you can make something rather strong. Cards I highly recommend: Torrential Tribute Solemn Judgement or Dark Bribe (Magic Jammer, Magic Drain, Seven Tools of the Bandit for cheaper alternatives) Mirror Force Heavy Storm Neo-Spacian Grand Mole Morphing Jar Totem Dragon Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon If you are still playing Traditional, then use: Raigeki Change of Heart Pot of Greed Graceful Charity Dark Hole Harpie's Feather Duster Run LIGHT and DARK type Dragons and use Chaos Emperor Dragon Cyber Jar Witch of the Black Forest ... Otherwise, remove Premature Burial and Call of the Haunted, because they are banned. Cards I recommend: Sangan Gorz the Emissary of Darkness Breaker the Magical Warrior Mystical Space Typhoon Cards you may consider: Acid Trap Hole Flute of Summoning Dragon and Lord of D. Dragon's Mirror Future Fusion (use this with 5-Head to dump any 5 Dragons to use with Dragon's Mirror or to summon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal or use Red-Eyes Wyvern's effect; also works with White Stone of Legend x3 to get 3x Blue-Eyes in your hand) Five Headed Dragon The Creator Dark Armed Dragon Decoy Dragon Tyrant Dragon You need more copies of: Dragon's Rage (x2 maybe) Stamping Destruction (run in 3x) Of course the monsters are a toss-up. You could do without Summoned Skull. Also, a newer card that is absolutely amazing for Dragon (and I run in 3s) is Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon ( http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Red-Eyes_Darkness_Metal_Dragon ). It's easy to get out and has a gamebreaking effect. It's also good to use with Red Eyes Wyvern and other related cards. You want to have a low amount of Traps, and a medium amount of Spells, and your Monsters should take up nearly half of your deck. Your Spell / Trap / Monster ratio is about right at the moment. Try to cut down 4 more cards to make it exactly 40. You don't have to, but it makes your deck run more efficiently. |

And, about the cutting four cards, that shall help I'm sure. It doesn't feel right to have more than the 40 needed cards, right? |
If you wanna use Dragons use the Hopeless Dragon deck. It's the best way to use Dragons, especially since they were untouched by the recent banlist (still think that if Lonefire was semi-limited REDMD should've been too). Otherwise I agree with Gym.

Can we get an updated deck list so we can check it out?
- - - - - If you were wondering, Hopeless Dragon is a tournament-built deck that runs on high ATK or extremely strong effects. However, the downside is that (1) a lot of meta decks run a lot faster than it, (2) it's usually overpowered by Synchros, and (3) it's very expensive to make. edit Tested it and it relies a lot on luck heh :D The pro is that (1) it is virtually unwreckable once you get the right cards out since your cards just keep coming back, and (2) Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon is just completely overpowered, heh. Here's a deckdrop: Dark Armed Dragon Dark Horus Dark Horus Dark Horus Judgement Dragon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon The Dark Creator The Dark Creator The Dark Creator Armageddon Knight Armageddon Knight Armageddon Knight Axe Dragonute Axe Dragonute Axe Dragonute Phantom of Chaos Phantom of Chaos Sangan Allure of Darkness Allure of Darkness D.D.R. Different Dimension Reincarnation D.D.R. Different Dimension Reincarnation Foolish Burial Foolish Burial Future Fusion Heavy Storm Monster Reborn Monster Reincarnation Monster Reincarnation Trade-In Trade-In Trade-In Upstart Goblin Upstart Goblin Crush Card Virus Royal Decree Royal Decree Royal Decree As you can tell, it has a lot of high level monsters. You will use Trade-In and Allure of Darkness to use those high-levels to draw cards and Foolish Burial / Future Fusion / Armageddon Knight to drop your Dragons to the Graveyard. Once you have enough in there, there's a bunch of things you can do, i.e.

(Though, thanks for that list of things I could do. I was honestly wondering how the hell to work it.) Fusion Based Dragon Deck I've been working on: (but still haven't gotten around to buying the cards.) Spoiler:
^ Most of those are cards a friend of mine recommended. Any flaws in there? He just gave me a list of cards and told me to make the decklist. Aside from the Hopeless Dragon Deck and that Fusion Deck right there, my friend sent me a text message with even more cards that he said would be good for dragon decks. Among this list are: White-Horned Dragon Dragonic Knight Gandora the Dragon of Destruction I already know what White-Horned Dragon does, so would building a deck to support its ability and cards to protect it. I'm pretty sure Gandora would also do good in this category? |
Lord of D.
Goddess With the Third Eye x3 The Light - Hex Sealed Fusion x2 The Dark - Hex Sealed Fusion x2 Lesser Fiend Cave Dragon Manju of Ten-Thousand Hands x2 Paladin of White Dragon Black Luster Soldier Blue Eyes White Dragon x3 Blue Eyes Shining Dragon The White Stone of Legend x2 Red Eyes Black Dragon Dragon's Mirror x2 Future Fusion Polymerization x2 Scapegoat x2 Stamping Destruction x3 Super Polymerization x2 The Flute of Summoning Dragon x2 Black Luster Ritual White Dragon Ritual Fusion Gate Return From the Different Dimension DNA Surgery Fusion Monsters: Five Headed Dragon Dragon Master Knight Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon B. Skull Dragon King Dragun Fiend Skull Dragon
I'll look at it again later. This is just topical view. |

In the meantime, before I can get all those cards, I'm going to be playing with this deck: Spoiler:
I have exactly 40 cards right there in the temp. deck, and my aim was sort of to protect my dragons. Maybe adding Royal Decree to the traps would help? Like I said though, only gonna be using that deck until I get Hopeless and Fusion. |
With an 8 card trap count, it's not worth it to add Decree ;)
- - - - - Anywho, I was inspired to make this in my World Championship DS game; I can't really say how good it is because the computers generally really suck or are really lucky heh: Blue-Eyes White Dragon Blue-Eyes White Dragon Blue-Eyes White Dragon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon Decoy Dragon Decoy Dragon King of the Swamp King of the Swamp King of the Swamp Lord of D. Lord of D. Masked Dragon Masked Dragon Masked Dragon The White Stone of Legend The White Stone of Legend The White Stone of Legend Twin-Headed Behemoth Dragon's Mirror Dragon's Mirror Dragon's Mirror Foolish Burial Foolish Burial Future Fusion Heavy Storm Monster Gate Monster Reborn Polymerization Polymerization Reasoning Stamping Destruction Stamping Destruction Stamping Destruction Mirror Force Return From The Different Dimension Royal Decree Royal Decree Royal Decree Monsters: 20 Spell: 15 Trap: 5 Total Card Count: 40 - - - - - Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon Five Headed Dragon Five Headed Dragon Five Headed Dragon King Dragun King Dragun King Dragun Ally of Justice -- Catastor Ally of Justice -- Catastor Armory Arm Black Rose Dragon Dark Strike Fighter Red Archfiend Dragon Stardust Dragon Extra Deck Size: 15 Always target Five Headed Dragon with Future Fusion and drop as many White Stone of Legends as possible, at least one Red-Eyes and anything else you like afterward. I was just able to do this with King Dragun out on the field with a Monster Reborn in tow, so I revived my Red-Eyes and used his effect + King Dragun to summon two Blue-Eyes to the field. Blue-Eyes Ultimate is also ridiculously easy to get out with Red-Eyes chain summoning White Stone / Masked Dragon to help it out, etc. edit Considering dropping the Decrees for Dragon's Rage / Bribe, but then I'd need to cut down some. edit2 Just got rolled by Lightsworn :lol: |
