Fusilier, King of Beatdown

[Frostweaver]

So remember the other day there's that talk about Fusilier being a powerful monster with Armed Dragon lv 5/7... Not really it isn't that good for Armed Dragon. That doesn't mean Fusilier is completely useless though. It just needs a specialized deck for it to really shine.

Relatively simple... but there's a fair amount of tricky detail that you may have to look up from Upperdeck regarding what's ok and what's not ok with Skill Drain. Certain iceking of nowhere, choo choo trains or some feminist crew from another world may cringe at what Upperdeck has to say.

This is all a play on Skill Drain to make most monsters a beatstick, while taking away all the penality on high attack tributeless monsters. It's a game on who got the stronger attack then, and Fusilier the Dual Mode Beast with 2800 will always win here, along with a few fellow friends.

2 of the traps are stapled. 3 Skill Drain are obviously a must for this deck. The other 4 traps are made only to protect Skill Drain.

Skill Drains' required slots in traps make it ugly to add in Sakuretsu Armor, Widespread Ruin and/or Bottomless Traphole. Then the best defense is forced to be the best offense. Without Mobius the Frost Monarch or Breaker the Magical Warrior, Bait Doll, Nobleman of Extermination and your standard staple spell/trap destruction may hopefully destroy the opponents' defensive trap as well. Heavy Storm is taken out cause its suicidal for Skill Drain. Giant Trunade takes its place, hopefully at a good time for a last attack from Elite Goblin Attack Force.

No draw engine in this deck, because skill drain destroys any standard draw engines available. It still got a fair amount of searches with mystic tomato calling the only working removal monster that's friendly with skill drain, newdoria. Reinforcement of the Army calls almost half of the deck, again.

The unmentioned spell cards are very standard...

Yes it is good in the deck. It's just discard bait that can be normal summoned also. XD

For the deck.
-3 Zombrya the Dark

+ 3 Goblin Atack Force

More beatdown in the deck. And lets's Renfroicments of the Army searchs more. I like the idea.

It looks like most Skill Drain decks I seen. But with a little added Tomato Control. I do think that 3 Mystic Tomato is overdoing it. Even though it's a 3-3 for the searcher and the searchee.

I like the idea of Bait Doll in the deck. I only seen it be un play twice and it could be quite a great tech card as it is if played right.

I would have put in Nimble Momonoga instead Mystic Tomato and leave the Newdoria. It would be better in the deck since it gives life point gain and can be risky with this deck.

The idea is quite intresting, but I would have use Curse of Royal instead of Magic Drain to protect Skill Drain more. But that's just me D;

I would use Ceasefire also as it is worth a try.

Zombrya is also warrior so for Reinforcement of the Army it's the same in searchability. However if Skill Drain falls or isn't setup yet, Zombrya is slightly more playabe as there is already the Elite Goblin Attack Force. I'm just not too thrilled to have 6 of the same thing.

I thought that Newdoria is necessary since it's not very safe to rely on Fusilier only to take down Mobius. Even if Mobius can't destroy the backrow, it still got the 2400 attack power that's higher than the goblins.

Curse of Royal does have its own advantage that it stops Dust Tornado (which Magic Drain can't stop), but it can't stop Heavy Storm (which Magic Drain can stop.) I suppose that it varies from area to area depending on how many Dust Tornado is played on average.

The thing with Magic Drain is that your opponent can negate it. Goblin Atack Force has more best stick power. And 2300 atack can stand anginst Cyber Dragon.

Mabye you can try Curse of Royal in the side deck. If you want to beat Mobius then only use Newdoria. Leave Mystic Tomato.
