This page is dedicated to helping all of you new (or lazy) duelists out there that need help with their decks. If your a lazy/new duelist, We'll build you a deck. All you have to do is post here and tell us what kind of deck you want and how much money your willing to spend getting the cards. If you already have a deck, if you post it in the Deck Template form, we'll revise it and give you our insight. We'll also make a side deck upon request.

• ex: Hi, could you make me a batteryman deck? I have a money limit of $60.
• ex2: Hey, would you look at this deck for me?

If you give us a deck to build, We'll make it a personal project and make sure that you'll be pleased with the final product. Each deckbuilder will only take one deck at a time and will let everyone know when they're done with a project by posting it on the top of the page. Please note that it's your job to collect the cards, our job is to create the decklist perfect for you.

Rules and General Information

1. Make all requests in their own section and not directly beneath another's request
2. Have a direction for your deck (examples - Dark World, Burn, Spellcaster, Bounce-Back-To-Hand, etc.). Random strings of cards will not be helped
3. Do not ask for more than one deck at a time as others will have to wait longer for the deckbuilder to get to them
4. This is a free service, but we are taking time out of our lives to help you. Be courteous and don't leave us waiting for you to answer a question.
5. If we believe a duelist has abandoned their request, we'll place a notice on the request warning of it's removal within 24 hours unless some activity happens.
6. Completed decks will be moved to the archive after a few days.
7. Decks that are not signed with 4 tildes (~) will not be helped.
8. We reserve the ability to delete any and all requests.
9. We expect that you'll have access to and/or be able to buy cards from online retailers or hobby stores, we base all card prices on eBay.
10. This page is not a page for people to post their opinions. Please, if you want to give your opinion on someone's deck, post it on the user's talk page.
11. You may request a deckbuilder to help you, please note that it only ensures that deckbuilder's help. It will not ensure the immediate help of that deckbuilder.
12. It is highly recommended that you browse the archives before requesting, you may find what you're looking for before requesting our assistance.

Dragon Kitty Synchro

edits made by Duelist33(My Talk) 17:46, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

So this is essential supposed to be a Dragon Synchro deck that uses the synchro cat engine. This is just what the deck List looks like now but it suppose to have at least 2 REDMD and a Gold Sarc. This Deck has actually faired well in testing but I want help refining it. So just to let you know what this deck can do: This deck consists of a variety of leveled monsters and thus leaves a great deal of access to alot of different synchros. Arcanite is easy to pull off but in the same way i can easily get Exploder Dragonwing out by activating dna surgery with a airbellum and spy out on the field and declare dragon as the type. I could do just the same with a armed dragon lv5 and magna drago activate dna surgery and declare spellcaster to sync for arcanite. So this Deck is built to adapt to the situation. So with all that said please give me back some feed back on what to add or take out and feel free to change the extra deck as well if necessary. As far as budget goes doesn't really concern me.Whatguy08 08:02, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

• My thoughts on the deck, and I am far and away from an expert on decks, but here are my opinions. First off, you have no Blackwing Tuners, of which you need for the Synchro Summon of Blackwing Armor Master and pretty much every Blackwing Synchro monster they have out. So, that has to be pulled from your Extra Deck. Secondly, it could be replaced by any number of Synchro Monsters. Perhaps, a Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, or a Ally of Justice Catastor when battling any decks that aren't Dark. You could also put in a Polymerization and add a Five-Headed Dragon to the extra deck. Now, if you are going to use the Surgery engine, I would think you need to use two, as it only activates for 1 type, running two would be better with the specific Synchro Material that you need for your Synchro Monsters, it could also be a momentum switcher, if your opponent is relying on your 1st Surgery, you can switch it to another. Those are just thoughts and opinions. Take them as you will

Duelist33(My Talk) 18:06, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

• This is not a thread where you comment on others' decks. This is a thread where a deck is submitted to an experienced duelist for one on one help. Please leave this person alone unless you are part of Decks for Free! and are actually taking the deck. --Tantara (talk) 18:00, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

• Heh seems I did forget to Add in the 2 FGD. Anyway yeah if you decide to help rebuild it keep in mind that it should still be a dragon kitty synchro :) Whatguy08 01:16, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

• I can get to this now, would you still like help? --Tantara (talk) 15:08, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

• Yea, I'm interested on what you would come up with. Whatguy08 16:24, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

• This is going to take me a while, if you want me to keep this strategy. This deck is mashing together two completely different strategies, it's not working that well. I strongly suggest that you allow me to seperate the two decks, I also recommend a Hopeless Dragon deck (will be much less expensive due to a soon reprint of Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon). The Synchro Cat engine does not normally fit well into any other deck besides spellcasters (and it doesn't fit well there, either). I can still attempt this, it's just goint to take me a while. --Tantara (talk) 00:33, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

• If there is no activity on this request within the next few days, this'll be deleted. (I'm giving you an extra day as you've been pretty good about getting back to us) --Tantara (talk) 00:32, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

• Well I already have a Hopeless Dragon Deck, this deck was meant to be something completely different in making a Dragon synchro. If you want to create a Different type of Dragon Synchro that's fine by me. I'll probably end up combining some of the ideas either way. Thanks Whatguy08 10:08, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

• A kittyless Dragon Synchro would make my life so much easier, Ill have this up tomorrow (I think). --Tantara (talk) 01:14, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Would you like a side deck? --Tantara (talk) 02:00, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Blacksworns

Hello again, I’m sorry about the X-sabers thread. I had no internet access for a month due to being out of Singapore. This time, I request that you guys help out my Blacksworns deck. Once again, I have no spending limit. Also, if you could include a Side deck, that would be great. Thanks =D

Synchros 2x Stardust Dragon
1x Colossal Fighter
2x Blackwing Armor Master
2x Blackwing Armed Wing
1x Goyo Guardian
1x Black Rose Dragon
1x X-saber Urbellum
1x Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Boundary
1x Arcanite Magician
1x Magical Android

GroggyBoy 05:42, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

• Being a fellow Singaporean, I'll help you on this. But, I'll have a small request. Make it a Vayu turbo based deck, ok? It works easier making it Vayu-based. --Flushy 02:37, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

• Cool~ You're a Singaporean too?

Alright, vayu turbo based it is, though I'll have to find some way to get my hands on Vayu. Thanks in advance Flushy!GroggyBoy 15:54, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

I will include a revised side deck next time. Hope you will like this, though I feel that its just a normal Vayu-Lightsworn turbo. --Flushy 10:24, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Flushy, I think the meta around my parts consists mainly of blackwings and lightsworns. An occasional Morphtronics and Dimensional Glads. A few Gadget Oppressions and Rock Stuns.GroggyBoy 11:38, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

• Flushy, remember to sign the decks that you make. Speaking of Rock STUN, I helped with the creation of the origional build on TCGplayer.com. LIGHNINGBLITZ, a tcgplayer user, created the origional and I gave him a few pointers.. Just thought I'd brag, a little :) --Tantara (talk) 14:54, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

LOL. Wow, cool! I’m a fan of the anti-meta decks LIGHTNINGBLITZ builds on TCGplayer.com. They’re just so awesome! I used the anti-meta decks LIGHTNINGBLITZ created as a reference for building a dimensional STUN for my friend xD. GroggyBoy 15:05, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

• I really like BLITZ' builds as well, they have a good balance of control and power. It's difficult to do that. Many TCGplayer duelists are quite good, LIGHTNINGBLITZ is one of the best. --Tantara (talk) 15:15, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Synchro Deck

hi, im currently using/building a synchro deck, i mainly play with a group of friends so time is not an issure, these are the current cards i use in the deck im trying to get the deck so i can get cards out quickly but still have some form of defense, my spending limit is around £30, i can stretch furthur if needed.

I am already planning to get Stardust Dragon, and Majestic Star Dragon (already have Majestic Dragon), and will probably try to put Quickdraw Synchron in there somehwere instead of something else, again i dont mind how long it takes, and i have alot of cards already. thanks. Lenku 15:34, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

I now have Majestic Star Dragon so i am now going to try and get Stardust Dragon for the deck. Lenku 22:31, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

I can make a deck for you, but you'll need a definite focus point for this deck. Would you like to focus on the Saviour archetype/otherwise? Your deck now is just a random string of cards. --Flushy 02:29, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

im not trying to go for a saviour archetype, but the general direction would be to get synchros out fast and make the opponent unable to counter most of my moves (sorry if this doesnt help, got a splitting headache at the moment) so kind of a rush deck. Lenku 22:46, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

• I find zombies syncro decks to be the best and they are really why Zombies are up there in the meta, because they can efficiently and consistently swarm the field and maintain field presence and usually advantage. They are usually mixed with LS or D-Heroes because they both give the deck speed, LS mill so you can dump Zombies and summon them from the grave and D-Heroes have D-Draw and malicious that allow for speed and quick level 8 syncros with malicious and Caius as well. I personally like and run ZombieCharge (LS Zombies). They usually use Krebons and Deep Sea Diva as tuners as well as Gale for his effect and Dark attribute and, of course, Plaguespreader. Diva is much better when you have two or more monsters on the field or if you already have a lumina or Zombie Master that you can use their effect and then summon diva for double syncros. These will be quite expensive decks as an ideal zombie engine is about 80 dollars with Mezuki and PSZ. Mezuki is 20 dollars or so so 2 of them would be 40. You could cut them out for money purposes and replace them with pyramid turtles like i did. Along with the LS, if you choose ZombieCharge, the deck could go to $200. If you go with DAD, which i highly recommend, then it might be 220 or 230. This estimate is pretty much based on the assumption that you are pretty much building from scratch and dont have at least 80-85% of the cards. I notice that your budget is in pounds and the prices i am mentioning are relevant to the US so i dont know how much it would be in the UK because i doubt that prices will just be straight conversion to british pounds from US prices. You can also try something much cheaper than these hybrids which would be plain Zombie Synchro with Il Blud and such. This might be around $120 because mezuki will still cost some if you decide to spring for him and so will DAD. Hope this helps:) NYKid8295 00:56, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

The Zombie idea sounds quite nice along with the lightsworn, i dont have many Zombie cards but i have 2 friends which bought both zombie structure decks so i could trade with them, dont worry about the currency change il work that out, but would you mind making a deck with the zombie/lightsworn base and with a few of the synchron monster cards if it isnt too much trouble. thanks in advance. Lenku 01:26, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

• I dont suggest Synchrons because they are very slow, all except for Quick Synchron. I can try and see if i can fit him in. This wont take long at all, i'll just give you my ideal decklist for the idea (seeing have a very good base that i already tested out numerous times).It is pretty consistent and it would be even more if i had all the cards i needed/wanted (i have no mezukis, no charges and i need a 3rd Ryko). I find the tuners i am already using to be very good with awesome effects and i always get double syncros with these tuners (Deep Sea Diva and Plaguespreader Zombie) and Gale helps with his awesome ability so i would rather leave the synchrons out because i find myself very hard pressed for space even when i switch out the cards i have for the cards i want because they are used in the same numbers. You might have to wait just a little because i am currently doing 2 other decks although i kinda already have this done but i need to get back on track with the decks i already took up:/ NYKid8295 23:23, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

• The idea of having quickdraw as the only synchron is a good idea, since i can use him in place of 3 other ards, his ability is good especially when combod with Quillbolt for a quick nitro summon, and dont worry bout posting it up soon, i have time plus it gives me a chance to see what cards i can get off friends before i have to buy them from sites. thx again for the help Lenku 01:03, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

• Well, i can try something else for this deck. Instead of using Zombies, i can try Quillbolt, Synchron, Gardna and Gorz! Well, the idea of zombiecharge doesnt even connect to using synchron because his level is too high and Zombies are at level 4 usually in this build. That's why i advise against it if you want a ZombieCharge. If you want an LS driven, graveyard dependant, turbo/quick synchro build, then i can try that new idea. Give me your thoughts. NYKid8295 18:32, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

• well i would like to try the lightsworn zombie deck as its something i have never tried before so it would be an enjoyable experience which is one of the reasons why i play the game, the synchrons dont have to be included, unless u want to try to include them. as said, i think your zombie lightsworn deck is a good idea to use. thanks again. Lenku 00:15, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

• Ok, i'll make two decklists then: one with and without synchrons:) I like the synchron idea though its untested so i'll give it a shot, it shouldnt take foreve but i have a BW deck to do as well, and a research porject so it might be a little till i can get this because i have to at least finish the BW before i do this because i dont have internet at home right now and it has been requested for a while so i have to do his first. NYKid8295 15:35, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

• sounds cool, cant wait to see them, but as mentioned time is not a worry for me i understand that there were others before me. Lenku 15:42, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for the wait. But here's your deck.

30 pounds is about 60 sing dollars? And change it to American cash it is around 40 bucks. Its quite small to fit in almost all the cards, but there is no harm proxying first, right? unless so, I'll make edits. -Flushy 13:14, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

• looks good, cant wait to try it out, i checked, 60 sing dollars is just under 30 pound so its not that expensive, im able to go higher i just didnt want to start off 2 high incase of going even higher. thanks for the deck, as said before looks great Lenku 15:38, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

This is the Zombie Charge i use. It uses more monsters because they are what you want in your grave. I dont use DAD because his summoning condition doesnt usually work out for me and with this deck you will be miling too fast so you will probably have a lot more than three DARK monsters in your grave, at least i do. This is also more consistent because of Krebons which allows me to stall if i need to and because when i use Diva, i usually mill the second one in my deck before it is the right time to make the play so Krebons is better. Caius is a beatstick as well as removal (RFG) and sometimes burn as well as Allure fodder. He is also easy to tribute summon because this deck swarms a lot. I also use DDR to get him back after i rfg him with allure. Arms Hole is used to get DDR and i can also summon PSZ with DDR and get two more syncros! I have to confess i got the Arms Hole/DDR thing from tantara because he used it against me a lot and i found it pretty nice when you have good monsters to use the combo with. I use lumina because she swarms and is good with tuners so you can sync A LOT. I dont use Solar Recharge because my Lightsworns are usually on the field and between allure, charge and my LS monsers, i mill and draw a lot already so Recharge is actually overkill. I will post the other deck i was thinking about another day because i am going to sleep because right now it's 12 p.m. in Albania:/ NYKid8295 23:06, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

• i like how this deck works, especially with the swarming capabilities, which is something ive never tried before, and ive never really fiddled around with a RFG system so its something new to try, it will be awhile before i get few of cards so il be trying it on YVD, thanks for the help, looks really good. Lenku 23:26, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

I will be using both decks as one thing i like to do with a few of my decks is be able to switch cards in and out against different people as between my friends i could be dueling up to 4 of about 10+ decks, ive recently been looking into lightsworns, becoming more intereasted by the minute so this will be an intereasting experience, thx for both of your help. Lenku 23:26, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Blue-Eyes Synchro Deck

Hey guys. This is my Blue-Eyes Synchro Deck (yea I know another one, but I’ve gone through your archives and those differ a bit from what I have proposed). It is a working progress. I've been out of the game for a few weeks but now I’m coming back and I need help fixing this deck up with the new changes. I want this deck to be playable in local tournaments and still have a bit of fun with it. I would like one of you guys to look at this deck for me. I have a budget of about $50. I was also wondering if I could add Majestic Star Dragon and Majestic Dragon to this deck. The deck’s mainly centred on Blue-Eyes and the use of other dragons (this is also a dragon deck) and the use of dragon synchro monsters. Oh just to add this in, I'm away from wednesday to friday so i was wondering if this post could not get moved cause i won't be able to say anything. Thanks guys. 60.242.174.115 10:00, November 23, 2009 (UTC)Eky95

• I would suggest adding The White Stone of Legend since it can quickly search a blue eyes and Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon since u have so many dragons and it can be used as a revival cardX-XDemonLeonX-x 02:48, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

• DemonLeon, read the rules, please. This page is not a page for people to post their opinions. If you want to give your opinion on someone's deck, post it on the user's talk page. --Tantara (talk) 03:28, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

• I've tried looking around for those cards but i haven't been able to get those unfortunately, they would add a lot to this deck. It's one of the small reasons i asked these guys for help, so i could find another way of improving this deck. Thanks for the suggestion though.Eky95 08:58, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

• sorry about that T-T oh and try amazon or ebay, theyz gots everythin ^-^ X-XDemonLeonX-x 20:20, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

• Hey, i was wondering if (for whoever takes this) they could do it with the money limit but also present alternatives (if there are any) of more expensive cards. This way i can have something to aim for. ThanksEky95 05:37, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

• I can begin to take this, if you'd like. Are you still interested? --Tantara (talk) 23:59, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

• Hey, Thanks that would be great.Eky95 09:54, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

• Hey Tantara, over the time this request has been up i have made some changes to the deck, should i post the changes or will you just work with this?, ThanksEky95 05:23, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Dark magician deck.

I've just caught up with whats going on in yu gi oh and still decided a dark magician deck would be the best for me, as it contains all of the things I love. such as fusion monsters, theme, and the main card, dark maician. I understand the deck is a little dated, and dark magician isn't the best for tributes to ATK ratio, but it would be great if you could get back to mDark magician deck.

First, I should say that this deck contains forbidden cards, so it can only be used in traditional format. Secondly, I'd suggest Adding the Instant Fusion spell card , otherwise the Flame Swordsman and Dark Flare Knight cards are unusable.

Exodia Deck

Well I'm a pretty good deck builder, but I hit a snag on a few decks. The one with the bigger snag is probably exodia. I listed 2 versions of the same deck to better understand the dilemma I am faced with. The first version, turbo exodia, is the style I want to run (fast drawing and searching). But the other version that a friend helped me make, Destiny Exodia, is a variation of the deck to make it similar to Tele-Dad. It gets the pieces slower, but does work better. While the sychros do help, I don't want it to just be a DaD deck that runs exodia and world prefer a deck more like first one (wouldn't mind having skill drain, mirror, torrential, gravity bind or level limit in it though). So the challenge I have is to make a turbo exodia that can get pieces quickly and livelong enough to do it. I don't want frog, appropriate, loop, or any other variation of exodia then turbo draw. If you don't think turbo exodia can be sped up enough but would be nice to see if you can improve destiny exodia (maybe make less DaD like but still effective?). I also want decks to be overall effective, not just in current format. So don't exclude cards like gold sacro just because blackwings currently run burial from dd. With that being said, neither deck has a side deck, since I only make them when I go to events based on the current format.

Well I hope you can improve at least one version of the deck a bit. Since this probably won't be easy I wouldn't mind if you gave it a lower priority. Best of luck! Bio 04:31, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Spell Counter Deck

Hey, I was wondering if you guys could help me build a spell counter deck. I tried making one in my Yugioh 5D's DS game, but it seems unorganized. I think most of the recommended cards are in the Spellcaster's Command Structure Deck, so I'll go out and buy that. For the rest of my deck, I'm willing to pay up to $30 at most, but include cards that you guys think could fit into the deck & I'll see what I can do money-wise.

Thanks!

--69.109.222.246 04:54, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

You should look at he archives because there are some spellcaster decks on there and i know tantara just finished one so look those over and if you want something different tell us and give us the deck direction. NYKid8295 20:50, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

B.E.S. Synchro

Darkness Gales

Hi, I would like some help on my Blackwing deck. As usual, the main strategy of this deck is to swarm the field and take control of the game. I have no spending limit but I do have a request. I noticed that Nykid had never edit a Blackwing deck on this wikia except his own so I request Nykid to edit this deck. If you don't mind.... Thx... :D Blackwing Guy 06:32, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Why there is a deck above my deck? Blackwing Guy 06:42, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Ummm... That is a weird request seeing as you know i havent done much with BW decks and my own is not totally awesome but hey, if thats what you want, i will do it. May i ask what your motive is though? Is this a "i know you but you dont know me" thing or something or i am just that famous? It might take a little bit to get to this because i am following up on the Quishie deck i just made, i took a Cyberdark deck request and if the guy who asked for a spirit deck says yes to my idea, then i will be taking his deck. I just fell flattered that people are requesting me and accepting me into all these "elite" threads so quickly when i have onlly been on here since August 20th 2009. NYKid8295 15:55, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Well, since Tantara and bewk had took a Blackwing deck before. If I choose them, there would be a big possibility that they would edit my deck the same or almost the same way they did with the previous deck they took. While I saw you had not took a Blackwing deck before and I would like your opinion. For some reason, it seems that you are an interesting deck builder to choose. Maybe because I don't really know how you edit someone's deck, especially blackwings since you are quite new here. Anytime is fine for me. As long you don't forget this deck... Hahaha... :D Blackwing Guy 03:56, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Just edited my deck a bit. Blackwing Guy 05:03, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

Just telling you that I am going to have vacation so I will be off until 4th December, if you can't wait for me it's fine. Ps : I used my cousin's computer. 125.160.174.86 01:34, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Just asking if Nykid is still working on this deck. Blackwing Guy 11:54, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Well, this is the idea: Skill Drain barely does anything to BW because their main focus is special summoning from the hand by their own effects so they are not affected. The only monsters that are really affected are Gale (unfortunately), Vayu (in the best way possible), Diva (which wont SS the second) and Spy (same as Diva). You wont be able to use Bora's pierce effect or Shura's SS effect but Skill Drain stays on an estimated 1/3 of the duel as tantara has told me (i dont use it but i am contemplating doing so because it is great in BW and this deck looks really good to me too!) so you will get to use Shura and Gale as well as Diva and Spy. Now you are probably going to ask why i used Elphin (he's a weird choice) but if you think about it, you will be able to use Vayu so the perfect monster to use him with would be Elphin so you can summon Armor Master. He is also easier to summon because he doesnt require a tribute with a BW on the field while Sirrocco needs a monster on your opponent's side of the field and no monsters on yours:( Because of these two reasons and the fact that Skill Drain will be present on the field (if it was Sirrocco you wouldnt be able to use his effect anyway and his effect is the only reason he is played over Elphin) is why i chose him here. Another upside is that if you sync with Vayu and Elphin on the field you will be able to summon a second Armor Master because you can sync again in the grave:) This is the strength of the deck not to mention that it totally disrupts your opponent with Drain. That is another reason why i didnt add any DAD's or Dark Creators, etc. You wouldnt be able to use thier effects anyway so i decided to use more usable monsters. PSZ is an obvious choice in the deck because of Skill Drain and where his effect is acivated. The reason why i used Diva instead of Blizzard is because i find that Diva is so much better when you swarm because you can easily double sync with two level 4's already on the field. Since BW are the best at swarming, this is really a no-brainer. I use her in my Zombie deck so i know she works great and with Spy and Bora, you will easily get level 4's on the field. The s/t's are really just staples for BW decks. Dark Eruption is the only thing that may be a little weird to you. The reason why i use it is because it can help you reuse Gale and Kalut which would be great, especially since Gale is limited. I only use two Icarus because i dont like that you have to tribute but it is still useful when you have field advantage and helps you further the advantage. My Body as a Shield is to protet your swarms too. Thats about it, i hope you like this and i tried to be original with the deck while still keeping it powerful and fast:) Tell me what you think. The only other thing i want to say is that i wasnt very sure if this deck really needed Reckless Greed so i left it out because of space and because it really sets you back if you dont draw what you need (two draw phases are way too much, only one would have been a more reasonable cost):( NYKid8295 22:32, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

• Sorry i didn't reply , I am busy with my school works and I forgot my username and password on this wikia since usually I didn't need to log in because my computer remembers it.

Dreadmaster Deck

This deck is based around Dreadmaster obviously by the name. I already have two dreadmasters and clocktower prisons and three dread servants. I also have dogma, plasma, dasher, blade master, and doom lord. I am willing to spend $50. --AwsomePossum 20:59, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

earth control deck

i made a deck that is based on keeping ur oppononent fron using they're spells and traps, it uses mostly warriors, and i was wondering if u guys on the decks for free froum could help me make it better. i got this ideo one day after i got countered all day by everything i did, spells and traps.

i still need three more monsters, but i dont kno which ones 2 add, and suggestions? I would like 2 kno if BEWK or NYKid could edit my deck, as since they seem the most availible, thank you very muchBlackwingbirdman 22:50, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

• I will see if i can get to this because i have 3 decks to do so i cant guarantee anything but i like EARTH decks but you will have to wait if you want me to do it. I dont know about BEWK. NYKid8295 20:28, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

thats ok with me, thank you very muchBlackwingbirdman 22:50, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

• BEWK is just as good as me, probably better but not that much so if he can get to it earlier than you should let him do it. I like the idea and it is good with the defensive aspect of earth monsters and also their brute power. The only thing i dont like about earth monsters is that they either have very strong defense or have strong atk but their effects arent so good and there arent a lot of good in-between monsters so there arent too many choices for those slots which. This is the Attributes main weakness. NYKid8295 22:13, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

yea i c wut ur sayin, and i'll go on his talk pg. and if he can get 2 it I'll ask him, i will follow up on this page, mucho graciasBlackwingbirdman 22:50, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

hey NYKid i was just wondering if u may take this deck, i have np waiting till ur donw with ur other 3 decks since will b my backup deckBlackwingbirdman 00:21, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

• Wow, i am getting so popular. This is sweet! Ok sure. I finished one and the BW deck i am taking is easy because the deck is very straightforward so i will be with you soon. NYKid8295 10:14, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

thank you very much, i really apreciate itBlackwingbirdman 23:10, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

So you got this one, NYK? I can do it if you want, because it seems you are very active and busy. -bewk 06:29, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

• I am going to be busy because i am going to continue piano lessons because i already did 4 years and i also have a research report to do. I am going to a couple of things for New Year's so i have to see if i have time. I also have to do my Cloudian Guide. I am going to take Fortune Ladies next since i am good at them and i have done/am doing a lot of decks with them. I also have to sort out want i want for X-Mas. I am getting DJ Hero from my mom, an Iphone from my dad, and my grandparents are getting me whatever i want so i have to follow up on all of that too;)I have a lot of stuff to do and i need to get back on track because i am not doing as well as i used to in school (I am at A-'s right now and i used to be an A+ student in everything). I have to straighten stuff out and that might take time away from me being on here and building other people's decks because i am up to my neck with all of mine. I can still take this i guess but next time i will have to do 2 at most at one time (this time i took 4). Thanks for asking. I want to try a rat warrior toolbox with this and toolboxes are my favorite deck type after aggro anyway so i will take it. NYKid8295 18:33, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

I just got a better idea this morning!!! A Rock STUN deck that uses Gaia Plate as a beatstick and to remove monsters for Return from a Different Dimension so you can attack for big damage and even OTK!!! What do you think about that? Good idea, huh? NYKid8295 14:29, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

• I've tried this idea, NYKid. It doesn't go well. I've even tried pure RFP Rock. That doesn't go well, either. :\ --Tantara (talk) 20:35, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

• Well it would be a small addend. It would be a rock stun deck with 2 Gaia Plate and Megarock dragon. The only other thing i would add would be Return from Different Dimension, D.D.R. and Arms Hole. I dont know what you added so maybe ou could tell me. Sign in on AIM Tantara! NYKid8295 21:42, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

yeah that rat toolbox deck sounds really good, if u can, may u do a rat toolbox deck please? thank you very muchBlackwingbirdman 19:58, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

Well, i can try that but me and tantara are already working together on building a working Rock STUN/RFG build so if that comes out well maybe you should try that but i still will try a Rat Toolbox because i really like them:) I will give you the best so dont worry;) NYKid8295 22:52, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

if u to are working on one that is comming out really good, then i would happily use that deck.Blackwingbirdman 23:07, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

hey i was just wondering how my deck is coming along, since i havnt heard anything in a few daysBlackwingbirdman 23:11, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Its coming along but i dont have any internet at home and that is pissing me off. Thats why i havent got to work on this. All the internet cafes have closed because of New Year's so i have to wait till this monday to get anything done on my comp. Right now i am at a cafe with wireless. I might get this done and up today but i have to do my research too so i cant guarantee anything. Sorry. Me and Tan tried to get the Rock RFG thing done but he got bored with it and i cant test it alone so... i dont know what to do. The deck isnt hard but it is inconsistent because it is a little slow although it can be awesome because of rock bombardment (which is a Rock type foolish burial that burns too). I'll just go with the toolbox because it is more consistent. It is coming, dont worry about that much:) NYKid8295 15:10, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

• This is it. I hope you like it. I will explain stuff about the deck under here.

This is basically what i imagined for the deck: Use mill effects to get monsters in the grave so you can use the Bazoo Return part of the deck to OTK, meanwhile you use Rat to Toolbox and get any Earth Monsters in the deck except for Bazoo (he has 1600 ATK). Mole and Exiled Force are to remove any threats from the field, Momonga for defense and life point gain, Card Trooper to mill and you can even summon another Rat which would be best if your opponent has multiple monsters on his field so you can have the chance to use your monster's effect, but be wary of the number of Rat's still in your deck because you can lose all of hem if you dont play it right and you will lose because you will be forced to top deck because you cant search. Although this is a smaller risk because i included Momonga and a Sangan as well, you have to be careful. Gold Sarc and Mask of darkness is to get your Return from D.D. from either your grave or deck. Trap Stun is to make sure you are safe when you attempt the otk. Wing Wind Blast will definitely set your opponent back a turn, trust me, i have used it in Zombie Charge and i always force tantara to wait another turn, lol. Raikegi Break is more destruction and i advise you to lose a monster if you already have or are about to attempt the otk or have Bazoo out. The deck should be consistent as it is a toolbox bt i havent tested it, i cant really test any of the decks i make but i am already skilled in building decks and it is easy for me to balance the decks i make and figure out how the deck will play out and fair in a duel. With this deck, you will be at a constant risk because the deck isnt a swarming deck and the monsters arent really powerful, just useful and they help you reach your goal. You have good removal and disruptive cards in the deck so you will give your opponent a hard time. Most of the time you will probably be able to set up your otk but your chances of winning with this deck against BW or LS and such is pretty slim because they have power and can make big plays easy. This is a good deck but you have to figure out your plays well first. This isnt really a beginners deck, it is for someone at a medium level. This deck relies more on you than on the cards. Drawing well helps but you still need to know what you are doing. I hope this helps. If it doesnt work out for you, just say the word and i will fix it. Please tell me how it works out either way. Happy Holidays too, even though it is a little late:) NYKid8295 18:19, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

thank you so much it looks really good. i will use it in two weeks at the tourney and then i'll give feedback on how it worked. thank you again and happy holidays to u too.Blackwingbirdman 23:51, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Diva Frog Deck

I was playing in my local tourney today and it occured to me I could turn my girl's s Frog deck into a diva frog deck. Here is the current deck:

I have an a idea where this would be good but I am at a lost for where to start. I plan on adding Sea Dragon Lord Gishilnodon but not sure what should go and what should stay. I appreciate all the help one could give and thanks in advance. If it won't work just tell me and I will let you get back to where you guys were in the list.

Duelist33(My Talk) 00:12, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

Here is the final build for the above request of turning it into a Synchro Deck, I took away the Deep Sea Divas and added in different turner monsters, below the deck list is a record of duels with it so far, out of the playtesting stage of deck building. If you guys could suggest some fine tuning to it that would be great. I have always had Tantara do my decks as he goes down the line. I guess that no one else on the team feels that my decks are interesting to them. Which is fine, Tantara builds awesome decks, but it would be nice to see others thoughts on my decks. I don't care who does it, as whatever decks you guys build I put my own touches on them. But here is the deck list thus far:

Wins: 3
Loss: 3

I will explain the lack of certain cards, and the addition of other cards, I only run one Moray of Greed because POA gives draw power and thus far the times she has gotten two Moray's in hand it has been a dead draw, as the cards she could use were ones she wanted to summon not send to deck. A Major Upset is in there for other people's Synchro Monsters, the only monsters in her deck that it affects is her Ancient Fairy Dragon, and Stardust Dragon. Robbin' Goblin is in there for her powered up Submarine Frogs and her Earthbound Immortal, the rest of the deck is self-explanatory. Again some fine tuning is what I am looking for.

Duelist33(My Talk) 17:13, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

• I'll work on this deck. My first deck was a Frog synchro deck. Than I switched to current BF. Pls be patient and wait for a day or two. --Flushy 13:18, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Aqua-Bounce by Flushy

Monster Cards 3 Submarine Frog 3 Substitoad 3 Flip Flop Frog 3 Dupe Frog 2 Ogre Frog 2 Unifrog 1 Sangan 1 Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca Total Monster Count:18 Spell Cards 3 Wetlands 2 Salvage 2 Book of Moon 1 Heavy Storm 1 Mystical Space Typhoon 1 Scapegoat 1 Pot of Avarice Total Spell Count:11 Trap Cards 3 Robbin' Goblin 2 Aegis of the Ocean Dragon Lord 2 Froggy Forcefield 2 Dimensional Prison 1 A Major Upset 1 Mirror Force Total Trap Count:11

Its pretty well outlined in this case. Removed synchros because frogs have levels too low for synchro play. Junk Synchron can only do up to 5. Used more cards to protect your monster instead of using Gravity Bind. Increased number of Robbin' Goblin copies for more stable control. Sangan is a all out toolbox in this case to search both the EBI and your frogs. --Flushy 10:28, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Nightmare Burner

I was wondering could you make me a deck that would burn your opponent with the use of skull invitation and gravekeeper's servant, toll, etc.... I would really appreciate the help thanks in advanced!97.119.88.241 04:51, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

I'll help you. Is there a certain limit to what you're willing to spend? --Blue (Talk) 22:32, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

• 40-50 at max thanks. 97.119.88.241 06:41, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I'll try and have it done by Monday (Tuesday at the latest). --Blue (Talk) 04:58, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Invitation Mill/Burn by Bluedog187

Monster Cards A Cat of Ill Omen x3 Gravekeeper's Spy x3 Junk Synchron x3 Mask of Darkness x2 Morphing Jar Morphing Jar #2 x2 Needle Worm x3 Nimble Momonga x3 Extra Deck Junk Warrior x3 Any Level 8 Synchro Monsters, optional but would help. Spell Cards Book of Eclipse x2 Book of Moon x2 Card Destruction Gravekeeper's Servant x3 Lightning Vortex Messenger of Peace x2 Reinforcement of the Army The Shallow Grave x2 Trap Cards Ceasefire Imperial Custom x2 Skull Invitation x3

Okay, so I went a bit over the budget (sorry, but hopefully it won't be so bad if you already have some of these). Total cost is around $60. The main idea is to search out Skull Invitation (through A Cat of Ill Omen) as soon as possible and burn your opponent quickly. Needle Worm and the Morphing Jars force your opponent to lose cards, usually in large amounts. Gravekeeper's Servant also does this. Mask of Darkness recovers any traps that might be lost. Gravekeeper's Spy is mostly there to thin the deck out, so's Nimble Momonga. Junk Synchron may seem like an odd card to use here, but since the deck has so many Level 2 monsters I figured you might as well abuse that and Synchro Summon every once in a while (Especially if you summon Junk Warrior and have him increase his ATK to large amounts, which was kinda fun to do in testing). The spells in this deck either serve to stall or recycle your Flip-Effect monsters. Ceasefire adds burn and Imperial Custom protects Skull Invitation from stuff like MST and Heavy Storm and whatever else your opponent may use. I hope you like it and good luck. If you're not satisfied, you can ask for a re-do or you can ask one of the other deck builders to help. --Blue (Talk) 05:30, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

• I love it but im making 1 small adjustment of my own free will and that is adding swords of revealing light for additional defense thank you very much i love it, i also added another card i forget what its called but its effect is to "every time a moster is normal, special or flip summoned it is changed to defense position." it helps me when i have to monsters on the field or if i wanna flip a weak monster. thanks 97.119.93.133 14:13, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Glad you like it. Oh and the card you're talking about is "Stumbling". --Blue (Talk) 19:59, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

fortune ladys help

here is my fortune lady deck i wont in prove it but dont no were to start (Alien king 05:27, December 20, 2009 (UTC))

its all sepost to work along with futur visions and the draw power makes up for its size

• Go ahead and look in the archives because i made a really awesome build (hold the applause). It's and anti meta build but if you want a different variant you should maybe specify. There are Chaos, Chaos recruiter, Control, RFG/NecroDAD builds (like mine but i also use control and Fortune Future like you requested in it as well as some Anti-Meta components), and then plain old Anti-Meta. NYKid8295 11:07, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

yes its better than wat i was hoping fore the Anti-Meta is jest purfect my hats of to my frend (Alien king 09:07, December 21, 2009 (UTC))

• No problem. You can say that i am the Fortune Lady expert on the wikia. I am currently working in spirits into the mix for a guy who asked for a Spirit deck too so you can check that out too but i recommend the one already did. Do you like the Necroface/DAD aspect i added in? It works very well and reloads your deck and gives you an awesome beatstick if you dont have visions on because then Face's ATK is reset. NYKid8295 11:31, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

• yes it was a great idea you had i liked how i could use necroface to recycle my removed cards. and even if he is destroyd

i can sommen dad remove him and jest sommen the second one to bring back the first. what i relly like is that how Plaguespreader is the only tuner and all i'll ever need becaus of necro. (Alien king 06:33, December 22, 2009 (UTC))

Clear world/ Clear Vice Dragon/ Rainbow Dark Dragon deck

• Hey, Would you make a deck focused around Clear World, Clear Vice Dragon, and Dark Rainbow Dragon for me? --Clear22 (talk)

I have this so far:

Also, I plan on proxy-ing the deck, so price is not an issue

• Please put this in the deck template form. --Tantara (talk) 00:54, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

• How does one do that? --Clear22 (talk)

• Clear22 02:15, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
• Any chance anyone's going to help me anytime soon?
  • I can help you if you answer this question: why make a deck that uses two completely different strategies? There is no synergy between Clear World and Rainbow Dark Dragon. -bewk 02:15, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
  • I may be making a mistake with it, but as I decided that a large part of what would make the deck work was going to be draw power, I noticed that many of the cards in it would also work well with Rainbow Dark Dragon, and decided to put it in. It is a kind of odd combination, and if you think it's a really bad idea I'll take it out, but that was the reasoning -Clear22 22:37, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
• Also, revised deck draft, one that doesn't look like I vomited random cards all over the extra deck for no good reason:

The card total is now 55, so I think I may have to trim some fat off. In addition, I am not sure wheter or not Mist Body is needed to protect Clear Vice Dragon. Does anyone know? -Clear22 22:45, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Spell Counter Deck

I'm very sorry I did not create a new section, I have never used a wiki, but thank you for the hint. I've looked through all 4 archives, yet I can't seem to find a Spell Counter Deck, I see Magician and Dark Magician, but anyways, I would like help with mine if you don't mind, I know you're busy, but, how do you post a deck template?Jonnybananas42 03:15, December 22, 2009 (UTC)jonnybananas42

• Well look at those because most Spellcaster decks use Spell counters so it might not specifically say. I am not trying to avoid this i just know that a lot of people have requested this so look into those more carefully. I honestly think you will find what you want in there. I will go ahead and delete the previous section i made for this. To make a decklist, just copy one of the decklists already up and just replace the card names and the quantities of each. That is what i always do and it saves time. NYKid8295 15:28, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

• Okay, thank you, I will definitely look at those again. And again, thank you for helping me out with using a wiki and decklist and whatnot.Jonnybananas42 17:05, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

  • I'm glad the Gemini deck worked out.

I am not the best at Cloudian decks, but I think this is a good build. How do you like it? -bewk 00:01, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

• i like the looks of it i think it will be a good deck and the gemini's are great i use them more than my gladiator beasts or lightsworns and it is a lot of fun and i see this one being the same i cant wait to start collecting and try this deck out and i will let you know how it turns out =)Slipknot563 01:53, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
  • Thank you sir, I appreciate the feedback. I had the DARK Gemini deck idea stuck in my head for a year, so when I read your deck request, I was eager to try it out. -bewk 03:16, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
• im glad i got it from you cause its a lot of fun and my friends hate me for it cuz it just shuts down other people and just kills a there strategys especially my friend with the blackwings

Geminis... Again?!

I've seen an outbreak of many Gemini Decks on this forum, but I haven't found one that I've truly liked.

I really like Phoenix Gearfried's effect, and the combination of Crusader of Endymion and Dark Valkyria. I'm just not sure how to construct an efficient deck around that. With that said, here's what I've put together.

Not too sure about having Superalloy Beast in there, but Future Fusion helps me throw monsters like Phoenix Gearfried and Crusader of Endymion into the grave. I don't have a budget, and I already bought the Warrior's Strike structure deck.

Thanks! --Casanova8792 01:21, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

I call this! I will probably get to this after a bit, maybe a week at max. I have a sweet idea for this that i think you will like. I will have to tell you later because i have to go:) NYKid8295 02:01, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing it. --Casanova8792 03:50, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

• It is going to be a Gemini Spellcaster Village lockdown that will use Dragon's mirror to summon Super Alloy Beast Raptinus (that part i got from BEWK) and get your geminis their effects and to summon Black Brutdrago with Tuned Magician so you can attack for big damage:) What do you think??? NYKid8295

• hmm... that sounds doable! But then with Spellcaster Village Lockdown, what's the point for Phoenix Gearfried? His effect relies on the opponents to use spells. That's my only concern, but everything else: awesome! Think you can make a decklist for me to see? --Casanova8792 18:49, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Well the thing is that i was thinking of maybe not using Gearfried because he has an ok effect but i dont really see a big point in using him. I was thinking of doing Gemini/Spellcaster with a Spellcaster boss monster instead because Gearfried is situational. It is a decent effect but the thing is that that spell will most likely be something that will help your opponent a lot more than it will help you and i dont think that it is worth it to let your opponent get ahead of you. Geminis are more powerful on the field than in the grave. I can try and include him but there would definitely be better choices for the card slots. Let me do it first and then you can see what i mean NYKid8295 20:18, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

• Ooh, alright then. Thanks NYKid. --Casanova8792 23:02, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

• I can't wait to see your take on the deck, NYKid. -bewk 03:18, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

• It's not gonaa be overkill on Spellcasters and Spell Counters, it uses Spellcasters' effects to use Spellcaster Village and the Crusader of Endymion to give Defender and Dark Valkyria Spell counters so they can use their effects Dragons mirror for Raptinus and then Tuned Magician for Black Brutdrago and their you have it. I will post it up later. NYKid8295 13:57, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

• I'm so anxious for the deck haha. I'm actually going to a card shop tomorrow, so I'll see if I can pick up the cards that you've mentioned. --Casanova8792 04:03, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
• not to burst your bubble nykid but you can only put one spell counter on dark valkyria and no more throughout the entire time that card is on the field and gemini summoned the only way to do this more than once is to have multiple of him or send him to the deck or grave and bring him back, ive run many different gemini decks and have had this issueSlipknot563 05:53, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

• Aw damn, that sucks... I used to put multiple spell counters on Dark Valkyria, guess I've been playing the card wrong.
• yea cause if you read the card it says that you can only put one on it i got caught or as i would say was notified of this at a tournament a month agoSlipknot563 19:51, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

• Just wondering if you're still working on this deck, NYKid. Casanova8792 00:35, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

• Sorry but my internet connection is down and i am at my aunt's house so i will try to post it up tonight because it is finished but its new years eve so i cant promise anything. If not tonight i will get it up tomorrow or the day dafter that. Thanks for understanding:) Happy New Year's to everyone!!!

So this is the deck. It is pretty straightforward and i dont think that you need any explanations. I made it versatile with three different summoners so you can get any monsters you need. I tried to speed up the deck with some milling by using Featherizer and Card Trooper. I add in Terraforming to get your Village out quicker and almost all of the monsters are spellcasters besidesm Blazewing and Valkyria as well as Card trooper.Tuned Magician is to get your Brutdrago out fast. I recommend going for Raptinus first so you can max out your geminis so you can use their effects immediately and then sync for a Brutdrago. Keep in mind that if you summon raptinus you must be ready to act quickly and summon brutdrago becauseRaptinus has an extremely low attack for his level (2200) and any monarch can take him out so be cautious. Threatening Roar and Mirror Force are to ensure your Gemini's safety so you can gemini summon them. Also use it in conjunction with Gemini Summoer in order to get that extra summon. Try to get out Defender as soon as possible because he is very powerful defense along with Crusader and Spell Power grasp. He would be an ideal opening play as he can protect himself as well but be warned that against BW, you will be outmatched in speed so a Thunder King Rai Oh and some bottomless wouldnt hurt but that is more for your side deck although you might want to main them because they are good anti meta for you anyway. Examplar is a good summoner but what she is awesome for is hoarding Spell Counters for Defender because he can only have one on him and her effect is great because you get 2 spell counters and she can summon any spellcaster if you remove a number of spell counters from her equal to the monsters level 4 or lower so you can get any monster. You can also use defender to defend your summoner monk or Gemini Summoner as well to use their effects again. Featherizer and Card Trooper will help thin the deck out. Supervise is to grab geminis from the grave and get your geminis started off quicker. I hope this is to your liking. I would also like to suggest a lumina or two because she helps thin the deck out but i used breaker because he uses spell counters and he can power up endymion that way. I hope you like, sorry i couldnt test it out because i dont really have a way to but it looks consistent and i avoided dead draws and i tried to be as practical as i could but Geminis need a lot of support to get them going so i did the best i could wth what i had. 10 Geminis seem to be enough as you have summoner monk and featherizer as well as Card Trooper to get them in the grave and on the field. Enjoy and Happy New Year's:) NYKid8295 23:12, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

• I really like it, thanks NYKid! How much does Mirror Force go for these days? And I thought Breaker was limited, I must be outdated.Other than that, I think I can get most of the spellcasters from Spellcaster's Command, and everything else is common. Again, thanks so much! You even took time away from New Year's to post this =] I'll test it out on YVD (Yugioh Virtual Desktop) and see if it's consistent (because I see a lot of single monsters D: ) P.S. Can you make a side deck as well? Take your time on it, not a priority haha. Happy New Year's! Casanova8792 06:52, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
• EDIT - Can I use Crusader to give Exemplar more spell counters?
• I switched Card Trooper with Ryko, it seems to work better. I still mill off 3 cards, but I get to destroy any 1 card as well.
• yes you can use crusader to give exemplar spell counters because it can have spell counters and recently i looked up the thing on dark valkyria (again) and you can place multiple spell counters on it but you can only remove one from it to destroy a monster because that is the only part of the effect that says you can do this one time only, basically what im saying is you still get 300 extra attack for every counter on it =)Slipknot563 21:21, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

• Awesome! Are you sure these rulings are correct? I'm thrilled to have Dark Valkyria back in the front lines, I just don't want to use her wrong again. Casanova8792 01:43, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Cyberdark-Twilight

I'd like to try if it's possible a Cyberdark-Twilight Deck; it's just to see how'd you do it. I did it already but I guess it sucks. Thanks since now, guys...

--186.16.64.11 19:29, December 25, 2009 (UTC)gray_kaiser

I still love the idea for the deck, and I would like to take this for my trail to join Decks for Free!. I am almost finished with the deck, and I will post it here when it is finished.--Akiza Izayoi 04:34, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Are you sure you want to take this Aki. It will be quite challenging. I cant really see how this is going to work out. Do you think you could let me in on the idea because if you pull this off, it will be a very interesting deck. Cyberdarks are really poised to be in their own dedicated deck. The only way i am thinking you could do this, is a CyberSworn deck that uses Black Salvo for synchros and maybe Black Rose Dragon to clear the field and then overload fuse to summon A Cyberdark Dragon and equip Black Rose, and LS for power, swarm, and milling. NYKid8295 13:55, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry, I think I can handle it. I'm pretty experianced with Lightsworn hybrids, and I'm actually taking time on this build, other than my Cactus Fighter OTK, which I literally made in 15 minutes. Thanks anyway though.--Akiza Izayoi 17:08, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

This is what I've come up with so far.

This is what I came up with. There are very few targets for the Cyberdark pieces themselves to equip with, just 3 Hunter Dragns. However, this isn't really a problem. Usually, the pieces are busy being fused into the Cyberdark Dragon, or being brought back by Black Salvo for a quick field nuke with Black Rose Dragon. I realize that the deck may not run consistantly every single duel, since Twilight is inconsistant to begin with, but this build provids a lot of ways to control the Graveyard, and it can usually start with a decent to amazing opening hand. It even ended up overpowering my Plant deck in a very long duel.

Thanks a lot Aki, is perfect. Now I need the Archfiend/Archlord Deck and I'll be ready for the Regional Tournament here.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon

Hi. Could you help me out with working my Blue-Eyes White Dragon Deck? I have a limit of $200 for any new cards. I wanted to get it to the 40 card minimum but anywhere between 40-42 is great. The deck should be completely a Blue-Eyes White Dragon focused tournament legal deck so fortunately I think there may not be too much problems. Thanks in advance. --White Dragon Kaiser 06:04, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

A big help with my Darkblaze Dragon Deck

EDIT (2): Ok, my idea is to create a Semi-OTK by having three Darkblaze at the same time or an OTK with one Montage Dragon with two Darkblaze. This is what I have so far.

Now, I tell you this idea I have think about it: Ribbon of Rebirth is very slow IMO, so what about Symbols of Duty? It would be a good idea, but first I'd need a normal Dragon, but what about a Geminis Dragon? Chthonian Emperor Dragon, is treated as a Normal Monster, and besides is a Level 6 Monster. So what about adding a Cost Down to summon them faster? Besides, it would be a good card to send Darkblaze to the graveyard.

Oh, and one more think. It is obvious that my opponent will not attack Decoy Dragon when a high=level Dragon Monster is on the Graveyard. So I have think that I should add Call of the Earthbound, Ring of Magnetism, and/or Battle Mania. But there is this famous question again: Which cards should I remove...

SUPER NEOS!

I would like you to construct me a elemental hero/neos/whatever deck i want some fusions and at least 2 syncros maybe i would like each card to be under 20 buck theres is no spending limit bsides that just make it good thanks. 97.119.93.133 21:04, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

• this deck is kinda hard to do because an elemental hero neos deck is usually surrounded by neos himself, neospacians, and on occasion chrysalis(did i spell that right?) and i dont believe there are any tuners in that i mean its possible to add synchros but it kinda makes the deck unbalanced in my opinion i built a deck like this for a friend and he likes it but a lot of the really good cards for this deck are insanely expensiveSlipknot563 21:26, January 3, 2010 (UTC)
• not to mention that there are many neos decks in the archives check there for one you might likeSlipknot563 21:37, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

• Hmm well then i guess i could tone it down a bit but just make it a Neo Space deck based on fusing quickly and ill make adjustments for the tuners and synchros 97.119.93.133 00:16, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Advanced Format Chaos

• A Chaos Deck. Judgment Dragon needs to be included, and the necessary Lightsworns to Summon it, of course. No Blackwings. It has to be competitive and there's no money limit. ASAP please. The Horror'^{Speak if you dare} 15:29, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

• I like the request. Straight to the point and reasonable. I like your sig a lot too. Would you like Chaos Sorcerer in the deck. He's the only chaos monster left until Chas Goddess comes out. I think he's ok and easy to summon but he's not my favorite to be honest. BTW, do you want Honest in the deck??? You probably do and i am a little silly in asking but if you are going to want to run 2 JD, at least 4 dif LS monsters, Necros, DAD, Honest all at the same time it might get a little hectic if you know what i mean. I could try all three but i dont know how consistent it will be. Honestly, i think therein lies Chaos' weakness as a deck, too many big monsters and too much going on in one deck. Most like to use Gorz, Tragoedia sometimes, etc so with whats already going on this only adds more to whats already there. Give me your ideas and i will be glad to help:) NYKid8295 16:59, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

• Well, of course I'd focus on the Lightsworns with DARK Monsters that benefit from the self-milling, but you're the Deck Builder. It needs to be as consistent as possible and fast at the same time. Quite difficult, that's why I ask your help. Just remember that it needs to be competitive. Thanks and good luck. The Horror'^{Speak if you dare} 17:32, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

• Wow, you responded quick. Anyway, i will try my best. I cant test the decks out really, but i use Zombie Charge so i have some experience with LS even though my deck is relatively new but i have tested it a lot, against Tantara. I won almost every time:) I will do my best. I just have a BW deck i need to make for another user but BW dont take long at all for me so this will be done soon but school starts this tuesday for me, and i have a research project too, so i have to work on this during tomorrow and next weekend, assuming my internet connection is fixed:/ Anyway, i will get it to you somehow:) It wont take insanely long so dont worry.

• I test the decks that I take over YVD (yugioh virtual desktop/dueling). It's a program in which you use can create decks out of any cards that you want and then can duel with them over the internet. It's an excellent way to practice or test out decks and is downloadable from xerocreative.com. --Tantara (talk) 23:28, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

You should then be told that you need to register and it should tell you how to do it from there (it's /msg nickserv register PASSWORD E-MAIL, I think.) --Tantara (talk) 01:04, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

• Hey, this is NYKid. Sorry but my comp. is in the chop shop (busted speakers) so i am using my mom's. Anyway this is the deck. It is pretty straightforward, don't think i really need to explain anything as you sound like someone who is experienced enough:)

This is it. The deck includes a lot of monsters mainly because with Charge and Recharge as well as other LS monsters, you wil be milling a lot. I only used 2 Honest because i already have 3 Gardna. I didnt use DAD because Sorcerer, Gardna and PSZ all RFG themselves so i doubt you will have 3 DARKs at the right time, you are better off just using them straight away. Beckoning Light is good because you also include darks so this will basically allow you to ditch all your DARKs for LIGHTs and kick your opponent's @$$. Grepher is in there because he is an easy SS with 7 "level 5 or higher" monsters, it allows you to ditch dead draws too. Allure is more draw power and you can lose a Gorz or Sorcerer if you dont need them at the moment. Should be consistent but the thing is that to play a powerful Chaos, the deck will become more inconsistent because it uses bigger cards. If you want to know what i would have done, i would have dropped Sorcerer altogether and used 3 honest. I might not have used allure at that point though. Otherwise, i would not change anything except maybe add an Aurkus to have another Lightsworn just to be on the safe side so that i know i would get at least 4 different LS in the grave. I gave you this though because Grepher definitely reduces risk by allowing you to lose useless high level monsters and honest and Gardna protect you so this is still a good build but i would try to up the consistency because i like consistency even though i like LS. Hope you like it:) 80.78.79.236 21:14, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

zombie swarm/synchro

Hey guys. Thanks again for the help with the Cloudians and Gemini's they both turned out great(this part is kinda geared towards BEWK because he made them=)). Now the only kind of deck i don't have yet is a swarm deck and I don't want to copy my friends and use Blackwings or X-Sabers so I did my research and came up with Zombies. I have a spending limit of around $60 but I ended up getting an extra Plaguespreader and DAD in the couple of booster boxes I got for Christmas so you can add those I don't have many synchros to tell the truth but I do have all of the ones that can only be summoned using Plaguespreader and again I was wondering if BEWK could take this one.Slipknot563 21:59, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

deck revolving around shinato king of a higher plane

Hello, as you can probably tell by the headline, i REALLY like shinato and wanted to create a competitive deck where he is the main article. I've tried to do this a few times but it gets beaten by t1 and things like hopeless dragon etc. I can spend any amount on the deck so that's no problem, And if possible could you make me a side deck that deals with the t1 and hopeless dragon. Any takers? thanks in advance 217.44.206.219 23:22, January 8, 2010 (UTC)vanch

I would really like to be albe to keep both boss monsters in the deck and have a strong Spell Counter Theme, but I also want to work in some of the Gemini deck. Not sure if it would work out as well as I am hoping it is, so any help on what to keep, add, or take out is appreciated.No budbget.

OK, so I found the template for correct deck format. Sorry it took me so long. If anyone can give me any input on how to combine these decks w/ a good balance, I would greatly appreciate it. I have an idea on the monsters of what I want, but no idea on the spells/traps. Thank you!!!

208.35.40.67 14:25, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

I want to combine these decks because as I duel with them, I notice that they share a lot of the same cards, but that there is also a lot of chaff in them just to get the deck total to 40. If I could combine them, I can get rid of the chaff, and have a VERY strong deck. I would even be happy with a partial hybrid and then have a side deck so I can rotate out a strong Spell Counter strategy to put in more Gemini support if I feel I would have a better chance winning that route...basically having 2 decks in 1.

Spellcaster Lockdown.

Hello, I just wondering if you could help me make a spellcaster lockdown? Using only spellcasters please. I checked the archive to see if guys made this deck yet, but it wasn't there. Specific cards I want in the deck is:

- * Secret Village of the Spellcasters (to lockdown Spells)

- * Sorcerer of Dark Magic (to lockdown Traps)

- Some type of card tat negates Opponents monster effect. Might be Plasma (to lockdown Effects)

- * Solidarity (increase attack)

- * Rivalry of Warlords (To mess up random decks)

- * Chaos Sorcerer (Optional if the deck you'll be making has a good light to dark ratio)

- * Summoner Monk (somewhat of a swarm, and good for Lvl 8 syncrhos.)

If there isn't any cards tat can stop only opponents monster effect except plasma, then you can take out rivalry of warlords and soldarity out of the deck list. The money limit is as much as it takes to make this deck good. Please help me, Thank you. Also, if you guys can, can you guys make a synchro build and a non-syncrho build? I think I violated rule number 3 asking this. If you could just one, please make it a syncrho build please. Darkcounter 71.156.35.34 21:07, January 16, 2010 (UTC) J.T-BAG
