Egyptian God Deck

Egyptian God Deck

With the release of Obelisk the Tormentor and The Winged Dragon of Ra in tournament legal form, it is now possible to create a deck which revolves around the use of the Divine-Beast type. These cards require 3 tributes to normal summon but prevent effects from being activated on their summon and cannot be targeted--thus the strategy of the deck focuses on stalling and swarming until 3 tributes are available. As well, efforts must be made to protect your God card from the effects that can harm it, like Lightning Vortex or Dark Hole; cards like Pole Position, Dark Bribe, Solemn Judgment, My Body as a Shield, etc., can help here.

A deck may choose to include both Obelisk and Ra; however it may be more effective to focus on one. If Ra is used, cards like Draining Shield and Life Absorbing Machine should be used to aide Ra's life point cost. An Obelisk deck may wish to include cards like Call of the Haunted and Monster Reborn to revive Obelisk in order to use its field clearing effect.

Weaknesses

Even though the Egyptian Gods are powerful they can be stopped by Ground Collapse(can backfire),Angel O7 and Destiny Hero - Plasma if one of those cards activated they are vunerable to Venom Swamp and the Venom archetype effects(also troublesome if Vennominon or Vennominaga is on the field) .A good deck to counter the Egyptian Gods is the Ojamas because the Ojamas can block the monster zones making the Gods useless.Fiend's Sanctuary can affect any player using The Winged Dragon of Ra(if the controller activates its effect) because when the controller of the God attacks he/she will take 1000 damage ending the duel.When one of those cards are activatedFuture Visions will affect both the Gods by halting their summon leaving one more turn to make a comeback(because the card isn't negating the summon it is simply halting it) then by destroying or using another Future Visions will leave the God trapped in the remove from play zone.
