Here is my current deck setup:

Spoiler:

The stacks are multiples of the same cards.

And here is my typical strategy and layout:

Spoiler:

Toon Black Luster Soldier is the main MVP of the deck, since it can attack directly the same turn it is summoned. Toon Black Magician is a close second. Then, of course, Toon Kingdom is arguably the most important card in the deck, with its secondary effect of protecting any toon by banishing the top card of the deck.

If I start with Toon Table of Contents, I use it to pull Toon Bookmark. Then I use that to pull Toon Kingdom. Toon Bookmark can then be banished to protect Toon Kingdom. Then, I typically try to get Toon Page Flip in an attempt to get out either Toon Dark Magician or Toon Black Luster Soldier. If the former, I can discard a Toon card to bring out Toon Black Luster Soldier. Either way, once that's on the field, I can start popping off direct attacks.

Megamorph has come in handy when my opponent has 6000 or less LP and I have even less, attach it to Toon Black Luster Soldier, 6000 attack, and boom, game over!

Toon Terror along with the other traps can be great in stopping my opponent from preventing my direct attacks. I will note, however, that these non-Toon traps and monsters are kind of a placeholder with the hopes of finding better options, since I can't deck-search for any of those cards. The two types of defensive monsters are just there to hopefully delay my opponent by a turn while they try to get something that can pierce the defenses. In actual usage, though, they typically don't help me much.

I've tested one alternative in the Switch game, though I don't actually have them yet. Shadow Toon can be a viable option, choosing a target monster on my opponent's side of the field and dealing LP damage equal to its attack can be brutal. This is especially true if they pulled some maneuver to get a ridiculously strong monster on the field. Using Toon Table of Contents/Toon Bookmark to end up with two of these? Could be game-ending, if they have no counters for it.

Anyway, I'm open to suggestion on this deck build. I can't currently get any more cards because I'm broke right now, but I can always test out ideas on the Switch game. Suggestions are much appreciated!

Hmmmmm I will say I have 0 experience with Toons, but looking at the list I can already make some consistency suggestions. Since I do not see an Extra Deck, you would have much use for the Pot of Extravagagence and Pot of Prosperity. While the latter is still a fortune, that could change with some oncoming sets, but both allow you to search and dig deeper in your deck at the cost of some Extra Deck cards, but if you dont use Extra Deck monsters, that downside is irrelevant. Some normal monsters could be replaced with interruption cards such as Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence or boardbreakers like Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Evenly Matched.

Though this all depends on the decks you face. Some of these might be a bit... extreme when put up against others who also have similar decks like yours :p

I started re watching Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds and loving it as always, only on epsidoe 4 though at the moment. As for card collecting I'm trying to find some of the Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds cards I found some on Amazon, then I want to built my own deck somehow since I'm still new at this.

 

[Fleurdelis]

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE 8TH. THESE BIRDS SHALL ROAM THE SKIES FREELY ONCE MORE <333

I have built this deck with the OCG version of the cards, but every JP card will have to be replaced with an ENG one for official play, but that is in 5 days from now so I am just counting down the days.
It's a shame Brave Strix and RUM Raidraptor's Force arent Starlight Rare in the TCG, but at least Rising Rebellion Falcon is.

TY-PHON might get axed for Final Fortress Falcon and then TY-PHON eventually in a side deck, I can turbo out the 3 big birds (Rising Rebellion, Ultimate and Final Fortress Falcon) in one turn if I wanted to.

 

[Tert]

Frothing at the mouth because I don't know if I should
- bother with making a physical Shiranui/Zombie deck that I will never be able to play because there are no locals within like 20-30 miles of where i live OR
- lock in entirely on master duel and get super involved with its meta

It's been done time and time again, but all of the examples I've seen have nearly illegible text. Here I expanded the text box, using the same aspect ratio for the art box as the classic Japanese cards but reversed, in order to fit the illegal effects of these guys (based mostly on their last VG appearance, which are relatively faithful to their officially published Thousand Rules Bible effects, barring Ra's since it wasn't covered). Some inspiration was also taken from the GBA-era games, namely giving them "proper" Types. I also thought it would make sense for Divine-Beast to be an Ability since they all share the same first part of their effect, much like Spirits, Toons, etc. tend to. I did my best to use modern wording.



I hadn't been keeping up with YGO that much but recently decided to do a run through of nearly every card artwork and update my top 10 faves in terms of art or creature/character design. I also downloaded Link Evolution (discounted to $6 on the eShop) to try to get back into the game (on a very casual level) and play around with some of my newly discovered faves. (Sadly, Albaz isn't in the game.) Recently reproduced an Ice Barrier deck I found online but haven't totally wrapped my head around it. I'd eventually like to build a deck that incorporates ice, cat, and elf themes. Something that can at the very least hold up against vintage decks.

*snip*

Dedication throught Light & Darkness also covers MoBC + DMoC, I just like this art more. Honorable mentions include Cat Shark, Gishki Avance, Swords of Revealing Light, and Toon BEW/REB Dragon.

EDIT: Updated after finding another source with more card images:

Those god cards look really neat, Machine for Ra is kinda weird but I can also see why :p
what did you use for that top 10 cards in terms of art? :o

My top 10 would be something like:

1. The Iris Swordsoul
2. Raidraptor - Arsenal Falcon
3. Cyber End Dragon
4. Raidraptor - Rising Rebellion Falcon
5. Topologic Zeroboros
6. Ultimate Crystal Rainbow Dragon Overdrive
7. XYZ-Dragon Cannon
8. Swordsoul of Mo Ye
9. Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
10. Salamangreat Heatleo

Ra was Machine-Type in several of its video game appearances (Battle of Great Duelist, The Sacred Cards, and Reshef of Destruction).

It's my own template. Here it is if you want to fill it out!

My top 10 would be something like:

1. The Iris Swordsoul
2. Raidraptor - Arsenal Falcon
3. Cyber End Dragon
4. Raidraptor - Rising Rebellion Falcon
5. Topologic Zeroboros
6. Ultimate Crystal Rainbow Dragon Overdrive
7. XYZ-Dragon Cannon
8. Swordsoul of Mo Ye
9. Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
10. Salamangreat Heatleo

Ooh, those Swordsouls look neat! I think the database I was looking through was missing those.

There, I corrected your list, you misspelled one card.

It's such a neat archetype and their art is really cool. One of the easiest more modern decks to learn aswell.

how do I dislike a post?

 

[icycatelf]

Curious to know what everyone considers their "most meaningful" card (that you still have that very copy of). Not necessarily your favorite/strongest/rarest but a card that for one reason or another holds special significance to you. Perhaps it was the first holo you ever pulled, or a card given to you by a friend.

I've little to go on since I let go of my original collection, but there is one card that stood out while looking through my current: Rey Fantasma del Bosque—or Green Phantom King—which I pulled from a Spanish LOB pack that came with a third-party bundle of various TCG products, including Beyblade and Gundam iirc. The booster also included an UR arm of Exodia, but I've just always liked this one for some reason. Probably the elf vibes, even though he's more of a drus (male dryad).

 

[Fleurdelis]

I don't think I really have one of those :'x... I started pretty late into the whole collecting again and all my childhood cards are basically MIA.
If anything it would probably be the alt art Cyber End Dragon from the GX megapacks as that was one of the very first cards I obtained when rebuilding the collection and also started the whole Machine era for me.
