    Plant+Lightsworn = SWARMMMMMMM

    Well, I got most of my lightsworn deck and before I built it, I decided I didn't want to do the normal twilight/pure deck, so I thought I would try plants in it. This is the build now.

    Monsters (26):
    x2 Judgement Dragon
    x2 Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress
    x1 Celestia, Lightsworn Angel
    x1 Ehren, Lightsworn Monk
    x1 Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter
    x1 Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner
    x1 Jain, Lightsworn Paladin
    x1 Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid
    x1 Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior

    x2 Tragoedia
    x2 Necro Gardna
    x1 Plaguespreader Zombie
    x1 Gorz The Emissary Of Darkness
    x1 Sangan

    x1 Dandylion
    x1 Spore
    x1 Glow-Up Bulb
    x1 Debris Dragon

    x2 Card Trooper
    x1 Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning
    x1 Honest

    Spells (11):
    x3 Solar Recharge
    x1 Charge Of The Light Brigade
    x1 Foolish Burial
    x1 Monster Reborn
    x1 One For One
    x1 Pot Of Avarice
    x1 Heavy Storm
    x1 Dark Hole
    x1 Scapegoat

    Traps (4):
    x2 Beckoning Light
    x2 Solemn Warning

    Total: 41

    Ok, so you might question some of the choices so, I will explain the reasons for them.

    Why put in...?
    x1 Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid - Good for those 3* exceeds with Lumina.
    x1 Sangan - Unsure like DaD. Standard search but...
    x2 Card Trooper - I really like them for the milling, with plants here it is nice. As well, good for Debris Dragon food to get Black Rose Dragon.
    x1 Scapegoat - If you are asking this, then look at the plants...

    Why haven't you got:
    Wulf - Granted, they are useful with all the milling and even in the hand, good to use for Solar Recharge and such, but just too many dead draws unless pure Lightsworn in my eyes.
    Lonefire Blossom - It just gave me dead draws when I was testing. It is good for your usual Spore and Glow-Up, but it just ended up annoying me in the end.

    Changes: 17/12/2011
    -1 Dark Armed Dragon - Just didn't work as well due to milling so quickly.
    -1 Phantom of Chaos - With DaD out, not many things I really wanted to remove due to having Beckoning.
    -1 Celestia, Lightsworn Angel - Just dead drawing and I think only great at 2 in pure.
    -1 Enemy Controller - Good card but just left short as I was cutting the deck down.


    Well that is that. Would love some R/F's on this and don't say TOUR GUIDE HUR HUR. Yes, it is a broken thing to put in a deck, so unless you want to buy me a playset of them, sush! :P

    Seems like a solid build. I'm not really tuned with the current meta, but I don't like Debris Dragon, or Scapegoat. (Though they could be doing very well in the meta, if they are void my statement.) Though there is milling in the deck, I still think you should stick with 40-41 cards. If you took those two out you'd be at 41. You could also consider taking out Warning; JD is a good replacement. You might not need both.
     
    Cut Scapegoat for sure. Cut E-Con too.

    Cut your Warnings for another copy of Lyla. There you go, 40 cards!

    Actually, cut your Debris Dragon for another Ryko or a Judgment - your choice.

    Thanks for the feedback. Had a day of testing in a tournament and came 3rd out of 20.

    Changes I have found is Debris works very well, surprisingly! XD

    I have cut down the cards so here it is.

    -1 Dark Armed Dragon - Just gave me dead draws a lot.
    -1 Phantom of Chaos - With DAD out, not many things to really use for it that wouldn't bugger Beckoning.
    -1 Celestia, Lightsworn Angel - Found it is dead drawing and not great without a pure behind it.
    -1 Enemy Controller - Good but needed to find space.

    +1 Pot of Avarice - For those painfully bad mills.
    +1 One For One - Plant rape.

    So that makes it 41.

    -Scapegoat was very useful for me I found today. Saved me a lot and next turn got the sync'ing going.

    -Debris as I said before worked very well. Considering my extra was Trushula, Scrap Dragon, Stardust Dragon, Ancient Fairy Dragon, Black Rose Dragon and Orient Dragon, it is very useful; personal preference I guess.

    Deck list updated.​

    Debris Dragon is generally not worth it because you need either Ryko, Lonefire, or Dandylion, but I guess your mill engine makes it okay more than 50% of the time... I wouldn't play it in a competitive deck without running more than 1 copy of Ryko (and I'd probably run 2 Rykos) but it's fine if you don't mind it, as it's a very strong card.
     
    I can grab Card Trooper as well as those named above, so that is another 2 cards I can get. It has worked very well for me, so I will just put it down to personal preference with that one. :3

    The thing is, I have a LOT of milling power, so I guess it would have to be a -1 Trooper +1 Ryko to balance the milling if anything.

    I will test and see, but the amount of times the +1 when Trooper dies has helped, is really surprising.
    Letting it die and drawing a Gorz/Trag with no cards on the field is pro! XD​
