Forum:Yosenju Deck

I've been looking into the Yosenju cards and I must say I really like them, so I decided to create a deck for them but I'm unsure if it's really a good deck. I'd like to use the deck competitively and maybe do some local tourneys with it, just worried if it'll do me any good.

Yosenju

Main Deck Monster Cards Effect Monsters Yosenju Misak x2 Yosenju Magat x2 Yosenju Kama 1 x3 Yosenju Kama 2 x3 Yosenju Kama 3 x3 Yosenju Tsujik x3 Winged Rhynos x2 Pendulum Monsters Mayosenju Daibak x2 Yosenju Shinchu L x3 Yosenju Shinchu R x3 Spell Cards Yosen Training Grounds x3 Double Summon x2 Fire Formation - Tenki x2 Divine Wind of Mist Valley x1 Trap Cards Yosenjus' Secret Move x3 Spiritual Wind Art - Miyabi x3 Extra Deck Xyz Monsters Gagaga Cowboy x2 Lightning Chidori x2 Diamond Dire Wolf x1 Lavalval Chain x2 Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer x2 Number 101: Silent Honor ARK x2 Gauntlet Launcher x1 Fairy Knight Ingunar x1

So this is the deck, any helpful advice is much appreciated. DarkSlayer516 (talk • contribs) 00:01, February 26, 2015 (UTC)

So yosenjus. There are two schools of thought with them. 1 says pendulum summon is too good, and emphasize the two medium monsters and diabak with only say 1 or two of kama 1, 2 and 3 thrown in for good measure. It can work but it is not the most reliable and is not good enough for tourney play. The more popular version ignores the pendulums all together and only focueses on kama 1,2 and 3 with fire formation tenki, fire fist bear, training grounds, and if you really really want it, oyamibiko (gorz is probably better honestly). It also runs vanity's as a core card because the only SS is the occasional xyz monster. Give this video a shot, it explains things much better and the decklist is really solid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgIiJdCLWn8

But hey, if you want to go the pendulum route after all we can talk more.Deathwingincarnate (talk • contribs) 01:24, February 26, 2015 (UTC)

I've looked into the other style, and I do still want to use the pendulum route, it's more suited to me i suppose. So any help regarding that would be great. DarkSlayer516 (talk • contribs) 23:39, February 26, 2015 (UTC)

Okay then. If pendulums you want we need some generic pendulum support up in here. And by that, I mean we need a good way to search out R and L. Aside from training grounds and kama 3, odd eyes pendulum dragon is a very nice search card for L and R, provided it lives a turn. Otherwise I think your build looks pretty good, may want a fire fist bear for good measure. That should do, give it a shot, see how it runs and then we can come back to the ol drawing board if need be. I just wish yosenjus had more pendulum monsters, then this build would feel a bit more doable. The final note is that in my playtesting of this sort of build cloggy hands are a major issue, drawing hands of all high level monsters is not fun. Finally probably just ditch rhynos, it doesn't add much to the deck and has very limited synergy with it as a whole. Deathwingincarnate (talk • contribs) 23:53, February 26, 2015 (UTC)

Oh one more thing. Ditch all but 1 rank 6, I know it seems logical to xyz with the yosenjus before they bounce but honestly it's often counterproductive. Unless you feel you are in real danger of getting otked letting them bounce lets you reuse their effects next turn. Your rank 4s are fine, but I might add lightning Chidori, Fire Fist Tiger King for xyzs. Deathwingincarnate (talk • contribs) 23:57, February 26, 2015 (UTC)

Odd-Eyes is a good card to put in, so I'll probably do that. I think Rhynos goes well with it personally, it's a level 4 wind monster so it meets the conditions for Divine Wind, also it makes good fodder for Miyabi as I can use it on the opponents turn (during the battle phase for example) and can help prevent Miyabi getting unused due to MST. Although that's what I personally think. I definitely see where you're coming from with the xyz, and most (if not all) are there just for added security really. The only one I would really use is Gagaga Cowboy just to finish off the duel with if there's a bit of life left in them. Lightning Chidori is there you may of just missed it, but I do think I'll be ditching Ingunar as it was a mistake putting it in there (I thought it only needed 2 level 6s not 3).

My one last bit of advice would be maybe add 1-3 tsujiks, and to ditch one or two doubles for msts- because you cant go wrong with mst, especially vs qlis. Since you run max kamas you dont really need the extra summons. Oh yeah, since you run Divine Wind, you could add in 1-2 l7 synchros and genex ally birdman as a tech choice. Oh, I personally say one fire fist bear in ANY tenki deck is a must, it can honestly save you where a kama might not. Otherwise good luck, glad I could help!Deathwingincarnate (talk • contribs) 02:33, February 28, 2015 (UTC)

P.s: Since you want to do a tourney, I trust you have a side deck prepared, but I can also help with that should you desire.

EDIT: SORRY IM BLIND. I missed your tsujiks. Still, I would cut 1, 3 is too many for the pendulum build because of the fewer opportunities where you need it.Deathwingincarnate (talk • contribs) 02:35, February 28, 2015 (UTC)
