Forum:Minocensatyros Deck

First, I'd like to take a moment to help you unfortunate souls who can't pronounce the word Minocensatyros. Say it with me now: Minnow-senn-satyr-ose. (Don't worry if you can't pronounce it correctly the first time: it's the most difficult card name I've built a deck around.) Then, I'd like to disabuse you of the notion that you can't do anything with a monster that can't be special summoned, requires one tribute at 1800 ATK, and summons Level 4 Normal Beast-Warriors from the deck. You can do plenty with a monster that can't be special summoned, etc. All you need is a little faith.

See all the wonderful things we can do with a monster whose name is an awkward portmanteau of at least 3 creatures from Greek myth? This deck can go super-aggressive - Beast-Warriors have the best vanilla beatsticks in the game, in this case Gene-Warped Warwolf, Vorse Raider, and Gladiator Beast Andal. It can also synchro summon, using Natural Tune on a monster for a level 8 synchro, or bringing out Shiba-Warrior or Gale for a level 6/7, respectively. Finally, there's Gladiator Beasts. With Andal in, I decided to put Laquari, Bestiari, and Test Tiger in, as well as Heraklinos and Gyzarus.

I think I've explained the monsters well enough, except for Enraged Battle Ox, which is self-explanatory. For spells, I've got Mausoleum of the Emperor to summon Minocensatyros without tributing. Natural Tune gives me access to the extra deck. Shrink is mostly for Gladiator Beasts, but also as a general card for taking out big monsters. Magical Mallet and Allure of Darkness are draw acceleration; Magical Mallet shuffles Warwolves, Raiders, and Andals back into the deck where they can be summoned with Great Long Name, while I can use Vorse Raider or Gale the Whirlwind for Allure. Finally, My Body as a Shield is some negation.

I only have the Royal Decrees as trap cards because I couldn't think of anything that really fit the deck, so I decided that if I wasn't using traps, my opponent wouldn't be either.

Tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 00:59, 2 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Do you think adding Normal support would be too inconsistant? Like Symbols of Duty, Swing of Memories, Birthright, etc. I'm not saying all of them. --bewk³ 01:53, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Those normal supports would, because I'm not actually aiming to get stuff out of the graveyard. Birthright I'd probably side-deck. I actually considered putting in Lycanthrope and Advanced Ritual Art, but I couldn't find a way to do it that I liked. Runer5h 02:12, 2 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

good idea!! but to be honest, the GB overall theme doesnt seem to work with this deck.3 andals are enough. for me, i would take the gb's out for more cards that would work with Msthsthsth. battle ox, nin ken dog would work. as for more support, maybe try pitch black warworlf. he works with allure, while allowing u to attack safely if decree doesnt hit ur hand when needed. as for spells and traps, not many thing to change, but i dont really like mallet. for me, i like pot of avarice and possible smashing ground, book of moon, or enemy controller more. pot recycles the cards and allowing draw power. lastly, since u have andal, why not add gb chariot? XD, i dont know if this last idea would work or not... cheersJetronix 14:44, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Some good ideas... I still like the idea of bringing out Heraklinos a lot, so I'll keep the Laquaris. But I will take out Test Tiger and Bestiari. (Gyzarus stays in - read on for why.) I don't really think I need Nin Ken Dog - I have 8 targets for a card that I'll only be able to use 3 times a duel - but I will triple up on Vorse Raider. I'll also add those Pitch-Black Warwolves.

I'm keeping Magical Mallet because it always works for me. But I will replace My Body as a Shield with Enemy Controller. It's a good idea to tribute one of my monsters for one of my opponent's (this is why I'm keeping Gyzarus - I can use E-Con to take control of a Bestiari and bring out Gyzarus with Andal or Laquari.)

For traps, I'll take out all three Decrees, because I now have some traps to use! Namely, Destruction Jammer and Gladiator Beast War Chariot. I've got two of each.

So it now looks like this.

Thanks for advice. Runer5h 16:07, 2 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

where's bestiari? imo, running it wouldnt hurt, cause it gives u direct access to gyzarus without depending on the opponent. secondly, why not run darius? he brings back andal for one, and any gb u want. Jetronix 05:19, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

You are the same one who just told me to get rid of the Gladiator Beasts, right? Are you just messing with me now? I'm thinking I'd side-deck some more Gladiator Beast support, but just putting Bestiari in this deck wouldn't work because there's little tag-out power. Runer5h 14:56, 3 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

wth, im not messing around with u. =*=. i just thought that if YOU decide to keep ur GB's in, then maybe i have advices for u.Jetronix 09:30, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Just checking. Actually, the removal of some of the GB infrastructure gave me the freedom to put some new stuff in, so most (but not all) stays out. Runer5h 19:25, 4 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Add a phantom of chaos

Add a phantom of chaos to copy Minoan Centaur's effect. Metagame.com 03:04, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

That's a great idea. I do like the name Minocensatyros better, but c'est la vie. The names change. Anyways, what would I take out for Phantom of Chaos? Runer5h 20:12, 6 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Actually, I think I'll take out one each of Minoan Centaur and Mausoleum of the Emperor for two Phantom of Chaos, because now I won't need to summon the Centaur as much. Runer5h 20:26, 6 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

• Who here bets that the name was changed because its ridiculously hard to pronounce original name? Shoukatsuryou 03:59, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

You're probably right... but I still like the original better. Runer5h 19:50, 7 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

What about adding in Wild Nature's Release? I know that it wont be very effective with Gene-Warped Warwolf but still... Shoukatsuryou 12:50, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

It wouldn't work with Warwolf. However, it would buff Vorse Raider up to 3100 ATK, and Andal to 3400. It's a great idea, but I don't know what to take out for it. Runer5h 15:40, 10 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Your Enemy Controller's dont seem that important, so you could take those out for Wild Nature's Release. Also, try considering Final Attack Orders. Shoukatsuryou 08:37, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, I guess. I'll definitely side-deck Enemy Controller, though. Runer5h 19:12, 11 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h
