Forum:A bit smoother of a build

Well, here is a better build of my girl's Dark Attribute Deck, it tends to run a bit smoother though not much faster than before. We are going to make a few more modifications, as we get the cards. But listed below will be her deck, with modifications that weren't suggested by you guys. I am trying to convince her to utilize the strategy of sending cards to the graveyard to benefit her deck, but still waiting for her to see it. Anyways here is the newest version of the deck, and this build of it is undefeated in match play as of right now:

She has only lost one duel with this build and swept 3 matches, and won the match where she lost the duel.

My ideas for this deck.

Ok first are my criticisms the deck is too large, You have way too many extra cards which do NOT need to be in there. Remove:

• -1 Twister (Twister is a side deck not a main deck.)
• -1 Black Pendant (Equips usually are not extremely useful, this could be replaced with something more workable.)
• -1 Field Barrier (Mystic plasma is not worth protecting with field barrier, as is many other fields..)
• -1 Negate attack (Maybe though threatening works too.)
• -1 Sakuretsu (Not needed imo)
• -1 Gozen Match (Again, Side deck not main deck.)
• -2 Dark illusion (Lots of things DO NOT target...)
• -1 Dust tornado (You do not have heavy storm...You need Heavy storm.)
• -1 Eradicator Epedemic virus (Too hard to get 2500 atk point dark mosnter)
• -1 Bottomless Trap Hole (Side deck maybe.)
• -1 Dark Horus (Not extremely useful in my opinion)
• -1 Dark General Freed (Too weak for a one tribute)
• -1 Dark Blade (it has no effect)
• -1 Obsidian dragon (again that TARGETS)
• -1 Dark Crusader (Maybe...not sure on this one its not very good so far =/)
• -1 Pitch Black Warwolf (nope it isn't that useful, negate traps is nice but you can put in Jinzo for that.)
• -1 Dark blade (normal monster doesnt have a big place in the deck..x.x sorry) Replace with dark crusader.
• -1 Swift gaia the fierce knight
• -1 Dark Resonator (you have one too many tuners, five is max.)
• -1 Lightning Vortex
• -2 Mystic Plasma Zone (I don't believe you need this a ton.)
• -1 Terraforming

OK! now time for the adding. Add:

• +2 Allure of Darkness (only if you can afford to get them I understand they are hard to get.)
• +1 Fires of doomsday
• +1 Caius/Jinzo (If you run trap negate. Caius however does have a better effect in my opinion.)
• +1 Heavy Storm (A MUST HAVE in pretty much any deck)
• +1 Fissure (Destroys but does not target)
• +1 Breaker the Magical Warrior (Dark spellcaster 1600 can destroy one sp/tr its pretty dang good)
• +1 Swords of revealing Light (Prevent your opponent from attacking but not you is very good)
• +1 Torrential Tribute (can turn the tide of the game in your favor if used correctly.
• +1 Compulsory evacuation device (Very useful for those pesky synchros)
• +2 Dark monster (Maybe Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer?), I didn't put down some of the dark monsters such as D Hero Plasma and a deck focused around it because I figured it was quite expensive...In my opinion if you need more normal summon able monsters after the fires of doomsday put in Kycoo the Ghost destroyer since it provides ample grave control over the opponent and not that bad of an attack either.
• +1 Cyber Dragon (Just about the most splashable card ever, not dark yes, almost never a dead draw though.)
• +1 Brain Control (Taking and using your opponents monsters is VERY valuable)
• +1 Threatening Roar
• +2 Shrink (Makes the opponent pretty much run into you with their monster, they attack, they lose life and lose a monster)

These are my own opinions on what needs to change in the deck to make it faster, Final deck count is 41 cards though I think this build SHOULD flow better than the current one though it needs testing. I had to take out some cards since you had too many (49 in main deck.) Do not put any more cards in the deck, for this type of deck you want to have a low deck count for a high chance to draw more. I am no super expert on dark monsters and I may have gone a little overboard with the caiuses but fires of doomsday SHOULD solve that. it not take out one fires and one caius and add diff cards. Hope this helps, this was an attempt to make it "Flow better" and hopefully it will work. I Had to keep or try to keep most of the edits dark only for purposes of keeping the deck with the same theme but I am a bit tired since its late sooo yeah! But good luck to ya.--Takuma. 07:46, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
