Yes, That's Right. It's Another Burn Deck. (YGO)

[CardsOfTheHeart]

I got to play in my first YGO regional this past weekend.

Yes, I took a burn deck. Yes, I know what you're thinking.

BUTTT, my deck actually went 5-2 and placed 9th overall. Now that I've got a grasp of the big-time YGO scene, I know just what I need to do.

So, without further delay...

Okay, I can already see the look on some of your faces. There are some questionable cards ran in here, but I'll go ahead and explain myself:

>>A 3rd Spirit Reaper? Are you insane?
Would you rather see Morphing Jar, instead?
...
That's what I thought.

>>Cyber Jar? Seriously, that could screw you over.
It could, but it hasn't. It's helped me get out of a few tough spots.

>>Ok, why the 3rd Messenger of Peace? Aren't you pushing it just a bit?
Perhaps, but to tell you the truth, it's been a great topdeck.

Yeah, I know. But it still works for me.

>>Why the Magic Reflectors, exactly?
Why not? They can protect my Waves and my Level Limits. They work SO WELL in this format.

>>You've only mained one Solemn Judgment. Why not main the other one?
Ok, I'll go ahead and take out a Secret Barrel for one- NOT!!! I don't need two of them in game 1; it does get sided in in game 2, though.

>>2 Dust Tornado; interesting...
Interesting, indeed. But, during my regional there were times when I could've used a little more S/T removal. I haven't tested two Tornadoes yet, but I expect that to work fine.

8/10 good! Solar Flare Dragon is pretty good with Gravity bind!!
and why do you have 3 spirit reaper??
I have a burn-control deck .. I had a burn deck, but it was pretty borring so I am trying to turn it into a control deck

 

[CardsOfTheHeart]

You know, I've also had a personal problem with 3 Spirit Reaper, but I was running Morphing Jar and I wanted to get rid of that so bad. I just couldn't think of anything else.

Then, someone on another message board suggested King Tiger Wanghu. Why? He told me why: stop Dons and LV2s, duh!
I agreed: Don Zaloog and Mystic Swordsman LV2 were my biggest threats to this deck.

So, I'm considering taking out a Reaper for King Tiger Wanghu. Sound good?

I'm not so sure on the 3 Secret Barrels...but otherwise looks good...

 

[Zaikiro]

Ichapokemr...I think the same.

Congrats on the Regionals. I really think your deck is interesting. I think you should give Call of the Haunted a try instead of Secret Barrels.

3 Messenger of Peace is not bad at all. It's best. Not most notice that.

I agree that Magic Reflector is good. It's one of the best protection.

Dust Torando is really good in the burn deck.

Cyber Jar is good in there.

You should try Morphing Jar instead of the 3rd Spirit Reaper. It can work.

Basically what I am saying is.....that your deck is orignal.

 

[CardsOfTheHeart]

I actually ran Morphing Jar in my regional deck. It didn't help me so much. Perhaps I'm giving up too easily on him.

About Call of the Haunted:
I've tried revival in a Burn deck. In fact I was running Premature Burial for a long time. Quite frankly, revival isn't necessary. Premature Burial didn't help me, any, so it's safe to say that Call of the Haunted wouldn't do so well, either.
Besides, the 3 Secret Barrels have speeded up this deck.
I used to run 2 Just Desserts; that didn't work.
I got 1 Secret Barrel and threw that in; better, but wasn't fast enough.
I got 2 more Secret Barrel and swapped them in for the Just Desserts; burn speed to the max.:D (not really, but you get the point)

Yeah, definitely. I mean, that's at least 1000 damage for each Secret Barrel is you use it first, not to mention that it can seriously mess your opponent up (I flip MoF to get Heavy Storm back!!! Morphing Jar!?? NOOOO!!!!!!!!!). Of course, if you do that, then you could even side (or perhaps even put in) a Magical Thorn or two...

Magical Thorn? Best in side deck. But that is a good combo. Plus with Cyber Jar. 5 extra cards. 2000(from Secret Barrel)x3 =6000

I said side it...and Cyber Jar could backfire in here...although it's also good Lava Golem protection...

I was agreeing. I meant to put a period instead of a question mark >_>

True about Cyber Jar.
