Forum:Can you rate my Yugioh Deck?

From Yugipedia
Jump to: navigation, search

First of all, I don't have the resource to make a top-tier deck like Blackwing or Gladiator Beast, etc. At the club I go to, I'm known as the "guy with the fun deck." I think it's worth noting though, that I stand a chance against those top tier decks, which is nice since this wasn't very expensive. :)

Please rate my deck on a scale of 1-10. Please give me advice as to what I can or should take out or put in. Hopefully, they are financially possible, so don't tell me to put in 3 Pot of Dualities, ok? haha. The only obvious card that I'm missing is Mirror Force, but I don't want to spend $10 to buy it from the new structure deck (yet). I will give you my reasoning for including some of the cards, but don't be afraid to disagree with me. Thank you!

- I know 50 cards is a little excessive, but people do run mill/lightsworn decks against me, and I would have a hard time lowering it to 40 because I like these cards.
- Even though I only keep 4 counter traps in my deck, Van Dalgyon is one of my better high level monsters. Haha
- I put in an extra Mobius just because Heavy Storm got banned. Agree or disagree?
- I like the Swarm cards because they can be reused, and my semi-lockdown strategy does support it.
- I like Copycat because I do have equip and powerups, and nowadays everyone runs Stardust - Dragon, so I need monsters that can get over 2500 ATK.
- Attacking with 2 raging flame sprites is the closest thing I have to a "strategy." I can search it out with Sangan, and my lockdown strategy makes it powerful really fast. I don't have 3 yet, but if I do get another, what would I take out?
- Prickle Fairies, DNA Surgery, and Insect Barrier form one version of my lockdown. People tell me all the time that the odds of getting the right cards aren't great, but I still keep it anyways, and it's hilarious and fun when I do get it haha. Prickle Fairy and DNA Surgery can sometimes be useful on their own, and I can discard Insect Barrier for card effects if I don't get DNA.
- Destiny-Hero Defender is for Stardust Dragon...
- Bait Doll is underrated, in my opinion. It takes care of Mirror Force, Dimensional Prism, and other commonly used cards. It's always funny when I target compulsory device and my opponent has to send his own monster back to his extra deck haha. And the best part is that it recycles itself!
- The ruling on Messenger of Peace is that I choose whether I want to pay the cost, and if I don't, then it's destroyed. So I can use it as a long-lasting swords of revealing light. I have plenty of monsters that have under 1500 ATK, and I can create lockdowns, such as the Swarm cards, Grand Mole and Spirit Reaper, etc. Same deal with Gravity Bind.


Thanks again!
