Forum:Beast Monster Mash Deck

I wanted to make a Moja deck, but for some reason it twisted itself into this strange Beast-themed Gallis Monster Mash deck. The only thing I'm not too fond of is the three Catsiths, and I dunno what to replace them with. Any suggestions? Vorpal Storm Pony (talk • contribs) 21:49, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Here are some changes I recommend:

-3 Beast Soul Swap

-3 Fabled Catsith

-3 Mosaic Manticore

-1/2 King of the Beasts

+3 Closed Forest - Later on the game, this makes even Moja a huge beatstick. It also counters Dark World and Gravekeeper decks.

+2 Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest - Today destruction effects are soo common, this card can counter them.

+2 Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter - Green Baboon and King of the Beasts can be summoned from the graveyard easily, so this milling effect always comes handy.

+1 Treacherous Trap Hole

+ any Nordic Beast monsters, excluding Garmr of the Nordic Beasts, but I dunno what to replace with them.

+ Tsukuyomi in a few days. Nephthy (talk • contribs) 15:52, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Tsukuyomi would interfere with Uniflora, so that's a big no. I also don't think the Treacherous Trap Hole (what would I use it for?) or Closed Forest would work, since a Monster Mash deck needs as little Spells and Traps as possible. Finally, why would I need the Nordic Beasts? I'll not be Synchro Summoning anything, and if I wanted Tokens, I could just slip in a Scapegoat or something.

"Tsukuyomi would interfere with Uniflora, so that's a big no"

Its a spirit monster, and only 1, not 3. It wouldn't, but as you think.

"I also don't think the Treacherous Trap Hole (what would I use it for?) or Closed Forest would work, since a Monster Mash deck needs as little Spells and Traps as possible"

You already have 8 of them. In my build, you'd have 9. If you don't use Crteature Swaps or less than 3 Closed Forests, it's not more than now. I also mention this is not a Monster Mesh deck, those have max 3 s/t cards, just a deck with a lot of monsters. You had 3 Beast Soul Swaps, those cards are bad, so I'd forget them. This means, you have no traps, and this means you can use Treacherous Trap hole to destroy 2 monsters anytime. This is simply a good card, it can kill 2 monsters for no cost. Since you have a lot of monsters, Closed Forest gives a brutal power boost to your beasts.

"Finally, why would I need the Nordic Beasts? I'll not be Synchro Summoning anything, and if I wanted Tokens, I could just slip in a Scapegoat or something."

In my Beast deck they worked pretty well, so I mentioned it. And not Synchro summoning is a big mistake.

Also, don't forget these are just suggestions. I mentioned some cards I used in my own beast deck, it's your choice what to pick. 81.182.178.156 (talk) 18:02, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, now I get what you're saying with Closed Forest and Treacherous Trap Hole, but I'm still not convinced of Tsukuyomi or the Nordics. I'll think about your suggestions, but likely I'll just go with the Closed Forests and TTH. Vorpal Storm Pony (talk • contribs) 18:24, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

How about Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest or Yellow Baboon, Archer of the Forest? Battlemaniac (talk • contribs) 21:25, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

I have one of each, and I'm thinking of replacing two of my cards with them (likely a Mosaic Manticore and another monster), but other than that, I don't really have that much thought on them. Vorpal Storm Pony (talk • contribs) 21:30, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

I think that "Green Baboon" is a better option than the "Yellow". "Mosaic Manticore" and "Three Thousand Needles" can both be used with "Trade-In" to draw more cards, then revived with "Uniflora". "One for One" can search "Moja", "Key Mouse", "Uniflora" or "Catsith" (if you're using it). You could also use "Solidarity", since your Deck is 100% Beast-Type. --Missign0 (talk • contribs) 13:56, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Well, I managed to find another Green Baboon, so I'm adding it. I also tweaked the deck to get rid of Catsith, add in a full compliment of Rykos, another Kinka-Byo, and threw in the Closed Forests and Treacherous Trap Hole. Hopefully, that'll help.

Hmm. Looking at this deck, now, I think I'm throwing in too many strategies; I've got the Moja engine, the Hamster engine, an engine with Behemoth and Mosaic, the Gallis engine... it's just too busy for me. I want to try to streamline this deck, but I'm not sure what to cut. Got any suggestions? Vorpal Storm Pony (talk • contribs) 02:36, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
