Yu-gi-oh! - Breakdown of Genex Hero (Moulin Glace) - Part 2

Note: Instead of doing deck discussions, I decided to include the deck within the Breakdown and elaborate on some choices here.

Deck List:

2x Genex Controller

Atlantean Armsman

Atlantean Marksman

Atlantean Seahorseman

Dark Armoed Dragon

3x Destiny Hero Diamond Dude

Elemental Hero Stratos

3x Genex Undine

Gorz the Emissary of Darkness

Moulin Glace, the Spiritual Ice-Residing Lord

2x Summoner Monk

2x Tragoedia

Allure of Darkness

Dark Hole

2x Destiny Draw

Foolish Burial

Future Fusion

Heavy Storm

3x Instant Fusion

3x Miracle Fusion

Monster Reborn

Reinforcement of the Army

2x Hope for Escape

Solemn Judgment

Solemn Warning

2x Torrential Tribute

Extra Deck

3x Elemental Hero Absolute Zero

Elemental Hero Escudirao

Flame Ghost

Rare Fish

Ancient Fairy Wyvern

Black Rose Dragon

Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier

Blade Armor Ninja

Daigusto Emeral

Lavalval Chain

Leviair the Sea Dragon

Number 39: Utopia

Steelswarm Roach

Atlantean Armsman, Seahorseman, and Marksman are the 3 choices to mill from Genex Undine's effect. Some choices I made are as follows:

• Instant Fusion over Upstart Goblin: Rather than giving my opponent 1000 Life Points, I pay 1000 Life Points to set up a Xyz Play.
• Solemn Judgment and Solemn Warning: Since this is a cost heavy deck for Hope for Escape, Solemn Judgment and Solemn Warning became obvious additions to the deck.
• 2 Hope for Escape over 3 Hope for Escape: To widen my horizons, I dumped a Solemn Warning and the third Hope for Escape for 2 Torrential Tributes.

Other than that, if you need me to expand on other choices, let me know by commenting. Anyway, rate, comment, fix, thoughts, or comment.

Yu-gi-oh! - Deck Discussion: Book of Spells

Strategy:
Right now, the strategy is as follows:

1. First, cycling through your deck to get at least a few Spellbook cards within your Graveyard.
2. Second, if you have Jsti, immediately summon her, attack directly, then use effect to grab Junon and another Spellbook Spell Card from your Deck to your Hand.
3. Third, if you have Temper, immediately summon him, activate the Spellbook searcher, then tribute Temper for either Empeur or Junon
4. Use Empeur, if need be, or Junon.

Deck List:

3x Apprentice Magician

Batel of the Spellbooks

2x Breaker the Magical Warrior

3x Empeur the Magical King

3x Jsti the Magical Teacher

3x Junon the Magical Priestess

Lependu the Magical Practitioner

3x Temper the Magical Summoner

Dark Hole

Heavy Storm

3x La Maison the Spellbook Tower

Monster Reborn

2x Mystical Space Typhoon

2x The Alma Spellbook

3x The Grimoire Spellbook

3x The Hygromanteia Spellbook

2x The Necronomican Spellbook

3x The Torah Spellbook

Extra Deck: Focuses in on these two cards:

If you have any rate, fix, thoughts, comments, or discuss, leave a comment.

Yu-gi-oh! - Deck Discussion: Crystal Beasts

Strategy:
Right now, currently, the strategy is as follows:

• Step 1: Fill your Spell and Trap Zones with Crystal Beasts as best as you can.
• There's several Spell and Trap Zone Destroyers, but it's nothing much to worry about since currently players in this game do not play face-downs enough often. Once, your opponent catches on to what you are doing, he'll use the Spell and Trap Zone Destroyers to wreck your Crystal Beasts instead of what you have face-down.
• Step 2: Special Summon Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle.
• By Special Summoning this card, you can fill your Monster Zones with the Crystal Beasts you put in your Spell and Trap Zones.
• Step 3: Exceed Summoning into as many Xyzs as you can.
• By doing Step 2, you can go into Step 3 near immediately. If you have a broad enough Extra Deck, you can convert to any situation, and fight off nearly any opponent.
• Step 4: Push to finish your opponent.
• Thanks to the set-up Step 3 provides, you can push for finishing your opponent as fast as you can before your opponent can rebound.

Sample Deck List:

2x Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth

2x Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat

2x Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle

2x Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise

2x Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle

3x Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus

2x Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger

2x Rainbow Dragon

2x Summoner Monk

3x Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins

3x Crystal Abundance

3x Crystal Beacon

3x Crystal Blessing

3x Crystal Release

Dark Hole

Monster Reborn

2x Terraforming

2x Torrential Tribute

Extra Deck:

Daigusto Emeral

Lavalval Chain

Maestroke the Symphony Djinn

Melomelody the Brass Djinn

Muzurhythm the String Djinn

Number 16: Shock Master

Number 20: Giga-Brilliant

Number 32: Shark Drake

Number 34: Terror-Byte

Number 39: Utopia

Number 50: Black Corn

OOPArts' Crystal Xenoform

Steelswarm Roach

Temtempo the Percussion Djinn

Vylon Disigma

Card Choices:

• The less traps that you have, the better that you will play this deck. Reason being is that Crystal Beasts take up Spell and Trap Cards, and it's unnecessary to use the Crystal Beasts Trap Card Support, because when you use it, you have already killed your opponent.
• The Spell Line-up is slightly different from what I had before, since I have a habit of pulling 5 Crystal Beasts into the Spell and Trap Zone, and I need protection from whatever the opponent has planned, so Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins and Terraforming were put in, and they fit in well.
• I would never plan on putting in other "staple" cards in the deck, because it'll lose the speed feel that it has currently, and once you slow it down, your opponent can counteract much quickly that when you can pull it off in Turn 1, Turn 2, or Turn 3.
• Rainbow Dragon is in there for a 4000 attack beatstick that can drop itself on the Field easily every time I go through my deck for the necessary pieces to summon Rainbow Dragon.

Other than that, it's nearly the same as before. Anyway, rate, comment, fix, thoughts, and discuss.

Yu-gi-oh! Deck Discussion - Chaos Dragons II

Now, here's the Judgment Dragon variant:

Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning

Celestia, Lightsworn Angel

3x Chaos Sorcerer

3x Eclipse Wyvern

Ehren, Lightsworn Monk

Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior

Gorz the Emissary of Darkness

Jain, Lightsworn Paladin

3x Judgment Dragon

3x Lightpulsar Dragon

Heavy Storm

Monster Reborn

3x Monster Reincarnation

3x Solar Recharge

Extra Deck:

Five-Headed Dragon

14x Any Rank 4 Xyzs

The problems with this deck is that it falls to hand traps. Easily. So, this would be considered a casual deck to play with, not a competitive deck that can face the top meta. Anyway, rate, comment, fix, thoughts, and discuss. Enjoy!

Also, I posted twice today, the post I did before this one was a redone version of Yu-gi-oh! Created Card Lesson 2.

Yu-gi-oh! Deck Discussion and Deck Explanation - Chaos Dragons

Typically, I'm going to start with a simple deck for Yu-gi-oh! players. A look at Chaos Dragons:

Deck List:

Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning

2x Chaos Sorcerer

2x Darkflare Dragon

3x Eclipse Wyvern

Ehren, Lightsworn Monk

Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior

Jain, Lightsworn Paladin

Judgment Dragon

3x Lightpulsar Dragon

2x Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner

Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress

2x Necro Gardna

3x Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon

Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter

Charge of the Light Brigade

Dark Hole

Future Fusion

Heavy Storm

Monster Reborn

3x Monster Reincarnation

3x Night Beam

3x Solar Recharge

2x Torrential Tribute

Extra Deck:

3x Five-Headed Dragon

12x Anything else you want in the deck

Explanation on Some Choices:

Darkflare Dragon: Why?

- Easy Light and Dark dump, and easy way to search out a card from your Deck for later use. (Judgment Dragon, Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, or Lightpulsar Dragon)

Night Beam over Mystical Space Typhoon: Why?

- Easy way to force people to use backrow if need be to save the backrow from being targeted. Most of the time, it's a 1 for 1, but if your opponent really wants to use the card, they would have to chain another card in response to it that's not the targeted card. Bad match up with this card would be against Chain Burn for example. The main concept of the deck is to make your opponent to use that backrow so they don't have a response to screw with your summons.

Why not a through Extra Deck?

- Mainly because I want the main deck to flow properly. For some aspects, the extra deck can change from person to person, so it is best to leave some options open to readers. As for the 3 Five-Headed Dragon that is in there already, you can get away with running 1 Five-Headed Dragon, leaving you with 14 slots open in your Extra Deck. I'm just leaving it up to readers if they want to really run this deck, they can alter it as they see fit so it can match their play style.

Monster Reincarnation over Beckoning Light

- Mainly when I prefer to get cards, I don't really like the discard option that Beckoning Light has, so I went with Monster Reincarnation.

If you have any other questions, leave a comment. Also, rate, fix, thoughts, and comments. Enjoy!

Yu-gi-oh! Deck Guide - Agent Angel - Part 1

With that being said, in the last Deck Guide, there's a discussion about a Chaos build with Agent Angel. So far, I'll look into it, because this would cover somewhat of a Chaos build as well as make this deck a bit more playable with The Agent of Mystery - Earth limited to 1.

Sangan: It'll help you search out The Agent of Mystery - Earth faster.

Summoner Monk

****   Attribute: Dark

This card cannot be Tributed. When this card is Normal or Flip Summoned: Change this card to Defense Position. Once per turn: You can discard 1 Spell Card; Special Summon 1 Level 4 monster from your Deck. It cannot attack this turn.

ATK: 800   DEF: 1600

Mainly, you use this to pull out The Agent of Miracles - Jupiter.

For DARKs, you have the following in the Dark element in this build:

1. Sangan
2. Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind
3. Summoner Monk
4. Summoner Monk
5. Ally of Justice Catastor
6. Sirius the Blue Wolf Star
7. T.G. Hyper Librarian
8. Number 96: Dark Mist
9. Steelswarm Roach

With 4 DARKs in the main deck and 5 DARKs in the Extra Deck, you can consider to run Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning.

Sample Deck List:

3x Mystical Shine Ball

2x Archlord Krystia

Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning

Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind

2x Hecatrice

Yu-gi-oh! Deck Guide - T.G. Agents/Agent T.G.s - Part 1

Typically, I would do these separately, but I would rather have something desirable to have you guys use.

So, here's the main part of the discussion that would add a little spark:

T.G. Cyber Magician

*      Attribute: Light

[Spellcaster/Effect]

If this card is used as a Synchro Material Monster for the Synchro Summon of a "T.G." Synchro Monster, you can use "T.G." monsters in your hand for the other non-Tuner Synchro Material Monster(s). During the End Phase of the turn this card on the field was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can add 1 "T.G." monster from your Deck to your hand, except "T.G. Cyber Magician".

ATK: 0    DEF: 0

With hand tuning, it'll leave you with a better assortment of Synchros that you can use. Especially, if you want to use a Tuner during your opponent's turn, you can fight off certain decks. For example, you can utilize your Black Rose Dragon during your opponent's turn. The card to use is this:

T.G. Wonder Magician

*****     Attribute: Light

[Spellcaster/Effect]

When this card is Synchro Summoned, select 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field and destroy it. When this card on the field is destroyed, draw 1 card. During your opponent's Main Phase, you can Synchro Summon using this face-up card you control as a Synchro Material Monster.

ATK: 1900   DEF: 0

With that said, here's the sample deck list:

 3x Mystical Shine Ball

3x Master Hyperion

3x T.G. Cyber Magician

3x T.G. Rush Rhino

T.G. Striker

3x T.G. Warwolf

3x The Agent of Creation - Venus

The Agent of Wisdom - Mercury

3x Thunder King Rai-oh

Book of Moon

Dark Hole

Heavy Storm

Mind Control

Monster Reborn

3x Mystical Space Typhoon

Pot of Avarice

3x Pot of Duality

3x TG-EM1

2x Torrential Tribute

Extra Deck:

Ally of Justice Catastor

Black Rose Dragon

Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier

Magical Android

Stardust Dragon

T.G. Hyper Librarian

2x T.G. Power Gladiator

3x T.G. Wonder Magician

2x Gachi Gachi Gantetsu

Leviair the Sea Dragon

Number 17: Leviathan Dragon

Yu-gi-oh! Deck Guide - Plants - Part 1

Right now, there's two possible paths to take with Plants at the moment. One will be showcased in this post, and the other will be posted later. Right now, here's the rundown of the cards for the strategy:

Fallen Angel of Roses

*******   Attribute: Earth

[Plant/Effect]

You can return 1 face-up Plant-Type monster you control to the hand, except "Fallen Angel of Roses", and Special Summon this card from your hand. If this card is Special Summoned this way, remove it from play when it is removed from the field.

ATK: 2400   DEF: 1300

With this card, it'll become slightly easier to summon a 2400 monster, and be able to reuse one Plant-type monster's effect to your liking.

Naturia Bamboo Shoot

*****    Attribute: Earth

[Plant/Effect]

If this card is Tribute Summoned by Tributing a "Naturia" monster, while this card remains face-up on the field, your opponent cannot activate Spell or Trap Cards.

ATK: 2000   DEF: 2000

A lockdown out for this deck. Once this is summoned, if they do not have a card that can overpower this thing immediately, then they'll be taking a few hits, which can lead to winning a game.

Queen Angel of Roses

*******   Attribute: Earth

[Plant/Effect]

You can Tribute Summon this card in face-up Attack Position by Tributing 1 Plant-Type monster. Once per turn, during your Standby Phase, destroy 1 face-up monster on the field with the lowest ATK.

ATK: 2400   DEF: 1300

This card can become an out to an immediate threat that comes up. Another combination that I use to make sure this card doesn't get destroyed is as follows:

Queen Angel of Roses + Naturia Pineapple

With those two, I can chose which effect can go first, second, or potentially third. For example, if I want to get rid of an opponent's monster that has less ATK than Queen Angel of Roses, I would pick Queen Angel's effect to go first. Otherwise, I would use Naturia Pineapple's effect, then Queen Angel's effect, then Naturia Pineapple's effect, since it is still in the Standby Phase. The last card is listed below:

Naturia Pineapple

**   Attribute: Earth

[Plant/Effect]

All face-up monsters you control are treated as Plant-Type. If this card is in your Graveyard during your Standby Phase, and you control no Spell or Trap Cards, you can Special Summon this card. This effect cannot be activated if you control a face-up "Naturia Pineapple" or if there are any monsters in your Graveyard that are not Plant-Type or Beast-Type.

ATK: 100   DEF: 100

This card can be used to fulfill the requirements to summon one of the three above, and then still come back to be reused for all the card effects that this deck has to offer.

Sample Deck List:

Dandylion

3x Evil Thorn

3x Fallen Angel of Roses

3x Koa'ki Meiru Gravirose

Lonefire Blossom

2x Naturia Bamboo Shoot

3x Naturia Pineapple

3x Queen Angel of Roses

Dark Hole

Foolish Burial

2x Fragrance Storm

Heavy Storm

2x Mark of the Rose

3x Miracle Fertilizer

Monster Reborn

2x Mystical Space Typhoon

Pot of Avarice

2x Bottomless Trap Hole

3x Call of the Haunted

2x Torrential Tribute

Yu-gi-oh! Deck Guide - Ice Barriers (Casual) - Part 1

Alright, for this build, since Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier was banned and Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier is limited, another strategy has to stem out from the deck. This deck cannot compete against Tier 1 and Tier 2 decks, but it'll be a good deck to try out on a casual pace or a starting point to get it into the competitive range once again. Why can't it compete against the top decks? The strategy is based around Field Presence and keeping a fair amount of cards in the hand. Since Wind-Ups destroy your hand and Inzektors destroy your Field, there's no point in having a monster based archetype that stalls. Anyway, I've kept it within the casual range, but if you want to make it more competitive, I'll make a separate deck guide for it.

For right now, the monsters used for the stall tactics:

Dai-Sojo of the Ice Barrier

******    Attribute: Water

[Spellcaster/Effect]

When this card is Normal or Flip Summoned, it is changed to Defense Position. Face-up "Ice Barrier" monsters you control cannot be destroyed by Spell or Trap Card effects.

ATK: 1600   DEF: 2200

This card prevents your cards from being destroyed by Spell and Trap Cards.

Secret Guards of the Ice Barrier

**   Attribute: Water

[Aqua/Effect]

Face-up "Ice Barrier" monsters you control cannot be targeted by the effects of your opponent's Effect Monsters.

ATK: 100   DEF: 1600

This card prevents your cards from being destroyed by Monster effects.

Defender of the Ice Barrier

***   Attribute: Water

[Aqua/Effect]

While you control another face-up "Ice Barrier" monster, monsters your opponent controls cannot declare an attack if their ATK is greater than or equal to this card's DEF.

ATK: 100   DEF: 1600

This card can prevent your opponent from attacking your monsters. When this card is set-up, your opponent will have a hard time trying to destroy your monsters by battle, especially if you use Dai-Sojo of the Ice Barrier and Secret Guards of the Ice Barrier.

Other than that, you use the Ice Barrier Effect Generals as your way out.

Sample Deck List:

2x Caravan of the Ice Barrier

3x Dai-Sojo of the Ice Barrier

3x Defender of the Ice Barrier

General Gantala of the Ice Barrier

General Grunard of the Ice Barrier

General Raiho of the Ice Barrier

3x Prior of the Ice Barrier

3x Secret Guards of the Ice Barrier

2x Strategist of the Ice Barrier

Dark Hole

Heavy Storm

3x Magic Triangle of the Ice Barrier

3x Medallion of the Ice Barrier

Monster Reborn

3x Moray of Greed

2x Mystical Space Typhoon

Pot of Avarice

3x Salvage

3x Water Hazard

Extra Deck:

Ally of Justice Catastor

Ally of Justice Decisive Armor

Ancient Fairy Dragon

Armory Arm

Black Rose Dragon

Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier

2x Dewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier

Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier

Magical Android

Mist Wurm

Red Dragon Archfiend

Scrap Dragon

Stardust Dragon

Yu-gi-oh! Deck Guide - Lightrays - Part 2

With this set, I would point out the last card of the four that have been shown already, and elaborate on my thoughts on that card: Lightray Sorceror.

First, the card in question (card text from Dueling Network):

Lightray Sorcerer

******  Attribute: Light

[Spellcaster/Effect]

Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by having 3 or more banished LIGHT monsters, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. Once per turn: You can target 1 of your banished LIGHT monsters and 1 face-up monster on the field; shuffle that banished target into the Deck, and banish that target. This card cannot attack during the turn this effect is activated.

ATK: 2300   DEF: 2000

So, this card can let you reuse Lights that you have removed from the game and remove one card your opponent controls as well. The drawback is that it cannot attack that turn you use the effect. So, such cards that you can reuse are listed below:

• Fortune Lady Lighty
• Cyber Valley
• Thunder King Rai-oh
• D.D. Warrior Lady
• ...and several others.

Sample Deck List:

2x Caius the Shadow Monarch

3x Cyber Valley

3x D.D. Survivor

3x D.D. Warrior Lady

3x Lightray Sorcerer

2x Raiza the Storm Monarch

3x Thunder King Rai-oh

Dark Hole

3x Dimensional Fissure

Heavy Storm

2x Mystical Space Typhoon

3x Pot of Duality

Reinforcement of the Army

3x Macro Cosmos

Return from the Different Dimension

Solemn Judgment

2x Solemn Warning

Starlight Road

2x Torrential Tribute

Yu-gi-oh! Deck Guide - Lightrays - Part 1

Well, for this session, I'm looking into Lightray monsters that can have some really good benefits. So, without further ado, let's start with the 3 Lightray monsters that require a certain number or more of LIGHT monsters in the Graveyard: (all effects listed are from Dueling Network)

Lightray Daedalus

*******     Attribute: Light

[Sea Serpent/Effect]

Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by having 4 or more LIGHT monsters in your Graveyard, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. Once per turn: You can target 3 cards on the field, 1 of the 3 being a Field Spell Card; destroy them.

ATK: 2600   DEF: 1500

When using certain decks, this monster would face-off against anything that utilizes Field Spell Cards, such as Gravekeepers or Fusion Gate. If the opponent uses a Field Spell Card like that, you can target that Field Spell and 2 cards they control and destroy them. It literally becomes a +3, when that happens.

Next card:

Lightray Diabolos

*******   Attribute: Light

[Dragon/Effect]

Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by having 5 or more LIGHT monsters with different names in your Graveyard. Once per turn: You can banish 1 LIGHT monster from your Graveyard and target 1 Set card your opponent controls; look at that target, then return it to the top or the bottom of its owner's Deck.

ATK: 2800  DEF: 1000

I would certainly use it when I'm using another Lightray monster as well, because it ensures that I can force my opponent to top-deck a set card they have on the Field, or it ensures that you'll never have to worry about that set card ever again.

Next card:

Lightray Gearfried

********   Attribute: Light

[Warrior/Effect]

Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by having 5 or more LIGHT monsters with different names in your Graveyard, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. Once per turn, when a Spell or Trap Card is activated while the face-up monsters you control are only Warrior-Type: You can banish 1 Warrior-Type monster from your Graveyard; negate the activation and destroy the card.

ATK: 2800   DEF: 2200

This card would work well, in general, with any LIGHT deck that utilizes Warrior-type monsters; however, if you decide to swarm with the Lightray cards, then this effect cannot be used. Otherwise, it is a good for anything that utilizes LIGHT Warrior-type monsters.

And without further ado, here's the sample deck list for the three listed above:

Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning

2x Card Trooper

Celestia, Lightsworn Angel

Ehren, Lightsworn Monk

Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior

Honest

Jain, Lightsworn Paladin

3x Judgment Dragon

2x Lightray Daedalus

Yu-gi-oh! Deck Discussion and Deck Explanation - Necrovalley Dark World (March 2012 Format)

When I was asking the two questions, I wanted you guys to think of why I was asking them. Is it because I was deviating away from Dark World? No, it wasn't. It was because of the Wind-Up/Inzektor/Rabbit decks that were topping, and there's no side strategy against them at face value, besides the Hand Traps people use. So, I decided to come up with this:

3x Broww, Huntsman of Dark World

3x Fabled Raven

2x Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World

3x Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World

Morphing Jar

2x Sillva, Warlord of Dark World

3x Snoww, Unlight of Dark World

2x Trance Archfiend

Card Destruction

Dark Hole

3x Dark World Dealing

3x Necrovalley

2x Royal Tribute

2x Terraforming

3x Deck Devastation Virus

2x Eradicator Epidemic Virus

2x Mind Crush

2x Torrential Tribute

Extra Deck:

Ally of Justice Catastor

Ancient Fairy Dragon

Ancient Sacred Wyvern

Black Rose Dragon

Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier

Red Dragon Archfiend

Scrap Dragon

Sirius the Blue Wolf Star

Stardust Dragon

T.G. Hyper Librarian

2x Adreus, Keeper of Armageddon

Daigusto Emeral

Lavalval Chain

Leviair the Sea Dragon

Deck Explanation:

While I was doing some testing for this deck, I noticed a common consistency while playing with this deck. When I faced a Wind-Up deck, if they can't get the loop off first turn, then you can set up your Field to never have the loop set-off during the middle of the match and have them take a very bad deficit while facing your Dark World monsters. When I faced an Inzektor deck, if they do NOT keep an Inzektor Hornet in their hand, then they can fall prey to Necrovalley, and a way to make sure that they don't have an Inzektor Hornet in their hand waiting is to have Deck Devastation Virus set off with a Goldd, Sillva, or Grapha being tributed.

If anyone wants to build this deck in the TCG currently, you can remove Daigusto Emeral and Lavalval Chain for 2 other Rank 4 Xyz and Sirius the Blue Wolf Star for any Level 6 Synchro monster that you want to Synchro Summon.

Yu-gi-oh! Deck Discussion - Hieroglyphs I

Normally, I wouldn't build a deck when it is near March 1st, but I had to think about a theory:

"What if and only if you want to use the Hieroglyph Seal of the God Dragon?"

Well, I decided to test the general concept on Duel Monsters Genesis and Dueling Network. Anyway, here's the deck list:

3x Hieroglyph Seal of the God Dragon
Debris Dragon
3x Dragorado
3x Hieroglyph Dragon - Aset Dragon
3x Hieroglyph Dragon - Dragon Geib
3x Hieroglyph Dragon - Nephthe Dragon
3x Hieroglyph Dragon - Shiyu Dragon
3x Hieroglyph Dragon - Tfeni Dragon

3x Advance Draw
Dark Hole
Heavy Storm
3x Hieroglyph Seal of Gathering
3x Inferno Reckless Summon
Monster Reborn
3x Super Rejuvenation
3x White Elephant's Gift

Extra Deck

3x Hieroglyph Dragon King - Atumus
3x Hieroglyph God Dragon - Ennead
3x Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon
3x Sacred Pleiades
3x Thunder End Dragon

The results vary:

The good: The deck synergy flowed well. Even when I moved the deck from Duel Monsters Genesis to Dueling Network, the deck remained consistant.

The bad: If your opponent has some sort of disruption effect (varies on the target), or if he Synchro Summons into Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier (which coming back from a -2 doesn't seem to work well, unless you got a god hand), then you wouldn't be able to bounce back that well.

~~~

After I discuss about Dragged Down into the Grave and Dark World Dealings, I will take some time to explain why I'm using the cards that I'm using in this deck, so here's the scheduled post line-up for the next 5 times I post:

First post: Dark World Dealings

Second post: Dragged Down into the Grave

Third Post: Advance Draw and White Elephant's Gift

This deck starts to take into account of Evigishki Zeal Gigas and his advantage of making sure you get a decent card advantage. The downside is that if you aren't careful, your Life Points may unexpectedly reach 0.

3x Evolsaur Vulcano
