Merry Christmas

Well, I typically think of a Yu-gi-oh! related thing to talk about, but that's besides the point in this case, but instead I'll bring forth a challenge for all of you. Why? Because I think it'll suit the Christmas vibe.

Remember the typical Christmas song: "12 Days of Christmas", so I consider you this: Make a deck that includes at least 1 Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Level 6, Level 7, Level 8, Level 9, Level 10, Level 11, and Level 12 monster inside your Main and Extra Deck.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make that deck until later, because I want to focus on other matters, but I want to mention this: Have a Merry Christmas!

Perfect Krystia (with Zeta Reticulant and Future Vision)

Well, from reading LGQ's blog, I decided to focus in on the concept of Future Vision:


3x Zeta Reticulant
2x Chaos Sorceror
3x Mystic Tomato
2x Armageddon Knight
2x Archlord Krystia
2x Herald of Perfection
2x Majestic Mech - Ouka
3x Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands

Monster Reborn
Allure of Darkness
2x Dawn of the Herald
2x Terraforming
2x Treasure of Heaven
3x Future Vision

Call of the Haunted
Torrential Tribute
2x Bottomless Trap Hole
3x Dimensional Prison
3x Miraculous Descent

Having Tokens being developed by using Zeta Reticulant from Bottomless Trap Hole, Dimensional Prison, Future Vision, and Chaos Sorceror might give you a bit more defense while facing off against cards. Once again, I did this on paper, so I don't know how the flow of the deck actually works until I get some time for test drawing.

Anyway, thoughts, rate, fix, comments, discuss. Enjoy!

Vulcannon Phoenix

And now, for the Yu-gi-oh! 5Ds Manga, I decided to make a deck around Heavy Bombing Bird Bomb Phoenix and Explosive Beast Vulcannon. Obviously, I made a Vulcannon deck earlier this year, but since Heavy Bombing Bird Bomb Phoenix came out, I decided to rebuild it again:


3x Volcanic Bullet
3x Volcanic Counter
3x Fox Fire
3x UFO Turtle
2x Green Gadget
2x Red Gadget
2x Yellow Gadget
Morphing Jar

Monster Reborn
Pot of Avarice
2x D.D.R. - Different Dimension Revival
3x Terraforming
3x Fusion Gate
3x Hand Destruction

2x Dust Tornado
3x Chain Material
3x Reckless Greed

Extra Deck
3x Explosive Beast Vulcannon
3x Heavy Bombing Bird Bomb Phoenix

Rate, fix, discuss, thought, comments. Enjoy!

Dark Planet Deck

Well, I want to see if you guys like an idea with having DARK Planets in the Planet series (from the GX Manga). Please note that this has been done out of imagination, and not been playtested at all, and obviously, Pluto isn't out in the OCG yet, but I felt that it was needed here.

2x The Supremacy Sun
3x The Suppression Pluto
3x The Big Saturn
3x The Dark Creator
2x Dark Grepher
3x Mystic Tomato
2x Armageddon Knight

Monster Reborn
Allure of Darkness

2x Gold Sarcophagus
2x Hand Destruction

Enjoy!

Created Card Lesson 2 - Defining "Broken on How it is Played"

I know it's been a long while, but I'll get straight to the point with this, since it's a basic topic to understand. "Broken on how it is played" simply means this: "How many decks can abuse this one card?" For instance, you can have a card that can fit into some decks, but not all of them. It's also the instance where people tend to think "Broken on how it is played" equals "Broken by design". It isn't. Namely, because "Broken by design" means "What text error does this card have that makes it so broken?"

I know this lesson is brief, but I needed to get straight to the point on this issue, before moving on to the next lesson.

~~~

Also, if I have this perception wrong, go ahead and leave a comment, so that I can fix it.

Impulse of Ra (Part 2)

Basically, simply, an expansion to the Calm, Silent Gusta + Mind Master + Brain Research Lab.

Having that combo draw out your deck while you gain ample cards is vital in this deck, but how would you be able to bring out your win condition? Answer:

Telekinetic Power Well

[Quick-Play Spell Card]

Special Summon any number of Level 2 or lower Psychic-Type monsters from your Graveyard. You take damage equal to the total Levels of those monsters x 300.

With this, you can bring out 5 monsters, 3 of them can be tributes for Ra, and the others, could be fodder for Psychic Jumper.

Then, how do you gain Life Points? Answers:

Metaphysical Regeneration

[Normal Trap Card]

Activate only during the End Phase. Gain 1000 Life Points for each Psychic-Type monster sent to the Graveyard this turn.

Gain 1000 Life Points per Psychic sent? With that combination, we could gain a lot of Life Points from this one card.

Rainbow Life

[Normal Trap Card]

Discard 1 card. Until the end of this turn, whenever you would take damage you gain that amount of Life Points instead.

Wait, this card doesn't gain Life Points directly; however, from indirect means, like...the destruction of Brain Research Lab and the use of Telekinetic Power Well, the damage becomes life point gain instead, and it'll make having Ra seem like the god that he is.

Anyway, hopefully, this explanation is worth it. Enjoy!

2x Destructotron

******** Attribute: Water

[Aqua/Effect]

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by removing 6 WATER monsters from your Graveyard from play.

Anyway, enjoy!

Spirits in the Deep Sea and Holy Goddess - Lenette

Well, this is going to be a long post, so I decided to set up a little table to help you navigate through here. Use CTRL + F to find what you are looking for: Spirits of the Deep Sea or Holy Goddess - Lenette.

~~~

Spirits in the Deep Sea:

Well, I got this idea from reading LGQ's blog about Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth combined with Spirits, so I took a test run on it. A lot of factors became involved and I thought about how to get Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth turn 1, or have a set Yamata Dragon set. The deck that LGQ made was interesting enough, but it slightly lacked a few things, so I took my own spin on things and see how it went. First off, I went with a basic Synchro feel to it, to see how it ran, after a few adjustments were made after careful planning:

2x Dark Dust Spirit

2x Fishborg Blaster

2x Izanagi

3x Nimble Sunfish

3x Oyster Meister

3x Royal Swamp Eel

3x Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth

2x Treeborn Frog

2x Yamata Dragon

Card Destruction

2x Hand Destruction

3x Magical Mallet

3x Mausoleum of the Emperor

3x Moray of Greed

2x Pot of Avarice

2x Terraforming

2x Royal Decree

Extra Deck

2x Ally of Justice Catastor

2x Ally of Justice Decisive Armor

2x Armory Arm

3x Black Rose Dragon

2x Iron Chain Dragon

2x Mist Wurm

2x Stardust Dragon

To say it simply, it's basically either A) Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth with Synchros to back him up, or B) Yamata Dragon with Izanagi to continue replenishing your hand. So, the basis of the deck was met, but it was continuing to miss something. Like LGQ said, the deck focuses more on Shooting Star Dragon more than anything, so I thought about what was missing. Then, I got the idea to modify the Decisive Fish build into a Shooting Star Dragon build:

3x 7 Colored Fish

2x Dark Dust Spirit

2x Deepsea Macrotrema

2x Fishborg Blaster

2x Izanagi

3x Nimble Sunfish

3x Royal Swamp Eel

3x Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth

2x Yamata Dragon

Card Destruction

2x Hand Destruction

3x Magical Mallet

3x Mausoleum of the Emperor

3x Moray of Greed

2x Pot of Avarice

2x Terraforming

2x Royal Decree

Extra Deck

2x Ally of Justice Catastor

2x Armory Arm

3x Formula Synchron

2x Iron Chain Dragon

3x Shooting Star Dragon

3x Stardust Dragon

So, instead of having other Synchros stay on the field with Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth, Shooting Star Dragon stays instead. Anyway, rate, fix, comment, thoughts, discuss. Enjoy!

I guess, it's time for me to stop with the "What if?" series for now. From what I notice, having multiple decks posted on here repeatedly, you guys can get quite bored, so I'm trying something new. From now on, I'll be focusing away from deck making for a while, due to the lack of pageviews. Instead, I'm going to try these things since a sparked interest rose when I posted one of my customs:

• Focus more of my posts around customs and card discussion. (I haven't done card discussion in a while.)
• Creating more Yu-gi-oh! custom lessons, since a spark of interest in that occured.

If there's any suggestions you want to see done, comment. Regardless, enjoy!

Winged Sorceress of the Twilight Night - Lieselotte

I think it's time for a change of pace. Normally, I would have some more "What if?" decks prepared for you, but it seems to me that the more I do them, the less interesting they get; however, I wanted to get some of the main ones out of the way, hence why most of my posts were towards it. So, now, I'll go ahead with a custom card.

Disclaimer: Yu-gi-oh! is created by Kazuki Takahashi in 1996. All Yu-gi-oh! Cards listed in here are not made for profit, and they are for the viewing enjoyment of the reader or viewer.

Winged Sorceress of the Twilight Night - Lieselotte

****** Attribute: Dark

[Spellcaster/Effect]

This card is also treated as a Winged-Beast type monster. When this card is Summoned, put 1 Twilight Counter on this card. By sending 1 card from your Hand to your Graveyard and removing 1 Twilight Counter from thsi card, you can add 1 LIGHT or DARK Spellcaster-Type monster from your Deck to your Hand.If your opponent controls a Winged-Beast-Type monster, you can remove 1 Twilight Counter from this card to take control of that monster.

ATK: 2300 DEF: 1600

~~~

Alright, I think you guys need to have another update to see what I'm up to:

• I have more customs lined up for posting.
• I do have 2 "What if?" decks ready, but due to real life problems, I won't be able to make more until those problems are resolved.
• The reason why I didn't post another "What if?" deck is because the last several posts were focused on it. I just thought a change in flow was needed.

Regardless, enjoy!

A small note: I'm going to try and mix up what I do again, just the only time that I have is making deck lists and posting them for you guys. I'm going to be preparing some more customs and card reviews as well as more deck lists, or if I have time, make another Created Card Lesson.
