Already had a few people look at it. Most aren't big into the game so really didn't know what to do with the deck XD

My brother who is more competative than I am took a look and said I should find a way to add in Necro Gardna and D.D. Crow into the deck. He had a few other ideas as well but I didn't own any of the cards he mentioned.

I also don't own Solar Recharge or Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the Beginning. So anything other than adding those two would be appreciated. Suggestions on any form of tampering to make it better would be nice as well~ I'm open to ideas, but please don't argue if I say no to certain strategies.

If you can find space, or at least afford them, you can consider a couple copies of Tour Guide from the Underworld (because Sangan is in there).

You don't have too many level 7s in your deck, so I'd take Lucky Straight out of your Extra. Its effect relies too much luck to work too. In that slot, you could use another Rank 6, like Inzektor Exa-Beetle or Photon Strike Bounzer, or even a Rank 5, like Tiras, Keeper of Genesis or Adreus, Keeper of Armageddon (if you can get them; both of the Rank 5s I mentioned are in Generation Force and Battle Pack: Epic Dawn).

This is what I think you should do to change the deck! :)
If you want me to explain any of the changes, just ask! :3​

[Xander Olivieri]

Tour Guide is an expensive card XD It would be blind luck for me to get one as I wouldn't be able to afford one by itself.

($60-80 card)

If you could explain the changes I'd appreciate it. Everyone I've talked to said to keep Jain and add a third one in XD

Also don't have any of these: Hieratic King of Atum, Photon Strike Bounzer, Sword Breaker, Colossal Fighter. Very little chance I can get them too. They are expensive. x_x

 

[Captain Fabio]

Actually, they aren't that expensive...

Main Deck:
-2 Jain, Lightsworn Paladin (There is no point in this deck unless you are running pure LS)
-2 Interplanitarypurplethorny Dragon (Doesn't fit that much)
-1 Shrink (Can easily be stopped)
-2 Interplanitarypurplethorny Dragon (Meh, not a fan)

+2 Tour Guide from the Underworld (Awesome card)
+1 Pot of Avarice (Epic card in this deck)
+3 Solar Recharge (Broken card in this deck)
+1 Mind Control (Broken card in general)


With prices:
Tour Guide = $15 (Battle pack reprint)
Hieratic King of Atum = $15
Photon Strike Bounzer = $30
Sword Breaker = $7
Colossal Fighter = $3

They are very cheap, apart from Photon Strike Bounzer.​

​

 

[Xander Olivieri]

At the shop I go to those prices aren't right XD

Tour Guide is $60-80 (Battle pack to original set)
Atum is 30ish
Bounzer is 50 (Tried to trade it for a Maxx C that I ended up pulling but got ripped off by the owner...never really doing business there again.)
Sword Breaker I think was 15
Colossal was 25 (Cause of how many people use the damned card)

As for Jain, its cause of his natural +300 ATK ability and light sworn search engine for the deck. Ryko's is a one time deal leaving just Lyla and Card Trooper as main Pitch cards. Jain is actually the only other LS considered a staple for this type of deck. I can take them out, yes, but at the moment don't have anything to replace them with.

You list Interplanetarypurplythorny twice XD With two different reasons. XD Its basically just Psuedo Gorz. I lose a Monster, I get to special summon one especially if I lost a monster by my own card effects like Dark hole.

Other than wasting a Solumn Judgement or using some cost related trap card that stops spells, not to many people even try to stop shrink unless its on their main focus card.

Using only 6 cards would make Solar Recharge fairly slow in my deck as well. All the more reason to keep Jain if not just for that. WHEN I can get Recharges I can test it out without Jain just to see how it runs, though I can't afford a play set of them at the moment. Gunna have to see if I can pull up some favors to get it.

I think you may have been refering to Divine Dragon Apocaryth before XD In which case those may very well be coming out as their only purpose was Sangan bait and Switching out dragon monsters in my graveyard like putting Light Pulsar in it or Red-Eyes Darkness Metal in the Grave for easier access.

I'm looking to switch them out for Necro Gardna.

Lucky Straight is there for the Photon Wyverns in the Side deck until I can fit a better side deck to better support my main deck. Course I'd have to balance out my Main deck first.

SUPPOSED to be having someone come over later today to help me with the deck.
