Forum:Rate My Final Countdown Deck

So, I've been interested in Final Countdown Decks for a while and I decided to make one a few weeks ago. The goal is to get Final Countdown fast, get it activated, then stall the remaining 20 turns to win. It does pretty good and wins about 75-85% of the time. I want to know is there anything I can do to make it better? Thanks. NABEELX (talk • contribs) 22:14, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Doesn't seem stally enough..., I'll show you my build & see what you think

Your build is good but I think that it would be a dead draw if I drew The Warrior Returning Alive before Zero Gardna because Zero Gardna is the only Warrior monster I have. Also, Gorz only works if you control no cards, and I usually have 1 or 2 cards on the field. I think Reinforcement of the Army would be good though. Thanks for your suggestions.

your build is similar to mine except i use Tevas & winged kuribos + flute of summoning. surprised teva isnt used its a great stall & a warrior so another target for warrior returning alive. i also side deck skill drains it can be a very effective stalling device. very efficient with warrior returning alive to reuse zero gardnas. i would switch my 3 upstart goblins for 3 pot of duality in an instant if i could ever aqquire them. also, wattlemur should be considered imo. good builds

Why don't you have three Pyro Clock of Destinys in the deck? Or Mask of Darknesses? Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 03:20, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

the way my build works, is that it usually only has one or two cards at once, most of which are used in foes standbyphase, giving me an empty field, and I completly forgot about Pot of Duality, drop the GGH for them <,<, as for Pyro Clock, it only skips one turn, while Waboku skips 2, effectivly-Resk (talk • contribs) 03:48, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

I don't know if this makes me an idiot or not, but I have heard of Teva until you brought it up right now. I think I'll put one in. And as for Pot of Duality, if I had a few hundred bucks to spare, then I'd replace my Upstart Goblins too. Wattlemur is also a good card, but when I ran it, it just never seemed to help. I don't have a Pyro Clock of Destinys because even though it does move the turn count forward by 1, it doesn't stop attacks and Threatening Roar or Thunder of Ruler will stop attacks and pretty much move the turn count by 1 as well. I don't run a Mask of Darkness either because a lot of people side deck Royal Decree nowadays and so Mask of Darkness becomes useless. That's what my MST is for, but I'm not usually lucky enough to draw it when I need it, since I only have 1. But I think Teva would be a great idea and I might throw in one Warrior Returning Alive. Thanks for your ideas. NABEELX (talk • contribs) 03:57, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
