Random Idea (YGO)

[Forci Stikane]

I was coming home today from the local store after buying a couple Premium Packs (which gave me Shield Crush & MoBC but no Marshmallon, by the way), when I was struck with a bit of inspiration in the form of a deck idea. I'm posting it here quick while everybody's still in the "RMD" phase:

Monsters:
2x Cyber Dragon
3x Mystic Tomato
3x Armed Samurai - Ben Kai
3x Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu
2x Chiron the Mage
1x Snipe Hunter
1x Sangan
1x Magician of Faith
1x Marshmallon
2x Mataza the Zapper

Spells:
1x United We Stand
1x Pot of Avarice
1x Nobleman of Crossout
2x Shield Crush
3x Shooting Star Bow - Ciel
2x Rush Recklessly
1x Fissure
1x Smashing Ground
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Giant Trunade
2x Reinforcement of the Army

Traps:
1x Mirror Force
1x Crush Card Virus
1x Deck Devastation Virus
3x Reverse Trap

This is just for fun, of course. The purpose, of course, is getting Ben Kai equipped with one or two Bows then using Reverse Trap for almost an OTK. Crush Card & DDV are there for pre-Reverse and post-Reverse in case something pops up and Chiron's around in case one of those spells turns into a dead draw. I was playing around with the idea of Scapegoat, though...

Ehh...if you're just planning to use a single equip, why not just run Mataza the Zapper instead of Ben Kei? It has better Atk and immunity control effects while still being searchable by Tomato. Considering the (Ben Kei-wise) low amount of equip spells in the deck, I think you could cut out one Kotetsu. Breaker should also be in there, so maybe remove a Chiron for that. Deck Devastation also seems sort of counter-intuitive since the only way you'll get to play it is if you spring an Atk boost on one of your monsters (Which, imo, is rather wasteful); maybe replace that with a card that has better utility? And speaking of utility...Reverse Trap could use some more cards it actually works with. Steamroid could be good for a cheap laugh in this deck (Your opponent attacks expecting a 1300 Atk resistance, but then it jumps up to 2300 instead. xD) but that would be another situational lol card in the mix, so it's more a fun mental image than a viable strategy. xD It's just too bad that Shrink doesn't work with Reverse Trap.

At any rate, Mystical Space Typhoon and Heavy Storm are givens. Same for Reinforcement of the Army (Both certainly take priority over Enemy Controller since we want this combo assembled as quickly as possible). I also find a deck with three tomatoes but no Reaper sort of bizarre. o.O And expanding on the Tomato, replacing one Chiron with one Sniper Hunter for greater searchability might be prudent. Meh, you could probably cut down on Shield Crush too since four cards handling defense is a bit overkill on the face-down hate. When this bizarre combo of yours plays out you'll be attacking straight over the defense squatters anyway. =P

But yeah...I think I'll leave the stage to Frostweaver. xD

Going right in order:

-Mataza doesn't get an extra attack for extra Bows equipped, though. Ben Kai does. The ideal is to get at least TWO Bows equipped, giving a 2000-point boost from Reverse Trap and two extra attacks, bringing the total damage up to 7500. Do note, however, that Mataza IS there...

-3x Kotetsu is so I can get at least one right off the bat. The more I have of the cards for my combo (and searchers for them), the easier it is to get out, ne~?

-I'm anti-Breaker (and the counter would weaken it after Reverse goes). Let's leave it at that.

-Deck Devastation also comes into play after Ben Kai (or Mataza, for that matter) get a boost from the Reverse-Bow combo but before that Mirror Force or Saku or whatever kicks in.

- ......You know what, that actually sounds like a pretty good idea. ...Maybe even Zombyra as well, heh...or maybe even Excarion. XD *sided*

-Wait, they aren't there? *looks over deck* ...D'OH! Alright, I'll fix that. *deck updated*

-Eh, Reaper's self-destruct effect seemed rather counter-intuitive to me. Point taken on Snipe Hunter (didn't even think of that one >_>) and the destruction effects...

So, now to update:

-1 Nobleman of Crossout (sided)
-1 Chiron the Mage
-2 Enemy Controller (sided)
-1 Gold Sarcophagus (sided)

+2 Reinforcement of the Army
+1 Mystical Space Typhoon
+1 Giant Trunade (I decided on this over Storm so that I at least don't end up blowing my face-downs or Bows)
+1 Snipe Hunter

Current Side Deck:
2x Royal Decree
1x Nobleman of Crossout
2x Enemy Controller
1x Gold Sarcophagus
2x Steamroid
2x Excarion Universe

If you have a Gold Sacrophagus, which you don't but let's assume you do, should be in main deck. It only means, your 4 piece killer combo will be at least 1/4 done in 2 turns.

I don't know how Reverse Trap works with natural booster like rush... so personally I'll actually take out rush recklessly and add in some other things like reaper. Honestly, works with CCV and Tomato and Sangan, it cannot go wrong at all.

I never liked Mataza, so I'll just be quiet about the rest of the deck... really, I don't like that bugger for its total unreliability >>;

This was actually originally assuming WC07 compatability (where I DO have one), but then I found out that Ben Kai is missing from the game :(. Um...Rush decreases the ATK, but it isn't there to use on my own monsters, anyway.

You mean like how I don't like Breaker? Oh, come on, just say it already!
