How can i improve my deck? Leebq 11:51, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

• Firstly, please sign your posts with 4 tildes.
• Brain Jacker is right up there along with Summoner of Illusions as "Some of the worst cards I have ever seen".
• In both choices I would limit the number of Crop Circle to 1.
• If you are concnetrating on Aliens, then adding Cell Explosion Virus would be a good move.
• Alien Infiltrator is pretty bad, too. Remove both and add 1 each of Alien Shocktrooper, Alien Warrior.
• Finally I would recommend adding Snake Whistle, which makes for a good surpise Hunter/Warrior/Shocktrooper. KazilDarkeye 11:14, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Snake Whistle is not as good as it seems as it cannot activate when your Reptiles are destroyed by battle. Also, I think it would be best to focus entirely on Aliens - so no Rise of the Snake Diety, Vennominon or Vennominaga. --Gadjiltron 11:55, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

On the contrary, Gadjiltron; surely Snake Whistle, saying when your Reptile is "destroyed", means both as a result of battle and by a card effect. That's what I always read it as, because it does not specify the means of how it is destroyed...

Oh and, I like this deck. It makes good use of some of the strangest cards around, even though they are weak. Shocktroopers aren't essential as they lack an "Alien" effect, but Warriors are definitely worth it. If you want to focus more on the "A" Counter side of the Aliens, then I suggest more than one Corruption Cell "A", and also Flying Saucer Musiik'i is useful, despite it being 5 stars. If you can get it out early on (for example, you might want to put in Ultimate Offering), then you have a way of controlling your draws. The only downside with an Alien deck is that there's no point in the "A" Counters unless you've got some way of attacking, and with the weak ATK of most of them, it's tough. Cosmic Horrors are decent, and work well when paired with Brainwashing Beam or Mass Hypnosis, but Alien Mother is better, and actually worth its tribute. You'll need to keep control of the field, and if you're thinking of keeping the "space" theme, you could even put in a Grand Mole, just for laughs ^^. I'm no deck doctor, so I dunno if my advice is any good, but oh well ^^. This is a fun deck type to play with, so just mess around and you might come across something great!

i used to have a reptile deck containing venom monsters and alien monsters but then found it hard to just use on set at a time so made a venom deck and a seperat alien deck so you should just use alien cards but use more than one copy of some cards if nececerry

first let me tell you, i am running an alien deck, not as my main deck but as a casual play deck beacuse i love to see those strange creatures taking control of the field, you can take some ideas about the deck that i have:

monsters: alien mother x2, gangiel x2, shocktrooper x3, alien grey x3 alien telepaht x3, alien warrior x3, alien hypno x2, alien skull x1, interplanetary invader A x1.

spells: A cell breding device x2, A cell scatter burst x2, corruption cell A x2, swords of revealing light, MST, monster reborn, creature swap, heavy storm, brain control.

Traps: brainwashing beamx1, crop circles x2, offering to de snake deity x3, detonator circle A x1.

To me it would be very helpfull, if we could have a level 4 alien monster who could place an A counter once per turn. what do you think?.
