Forum:Crystal Beast Deck! (need serious help)

Hey There! This is my first post in the forum, I was hoping to get some help. You see, Just recently I built a Crystal beast deck and so far, it's pretty ok, if people go easy on it. Now I know, the beasts aren't exactly an aggressive archetype, but I'm open to suggestions if anyone knows how to edit this deck to make it a little bit stronger. Thanks in advance!

The Deck

Monsters (23)

• Rainbow Dragon x1
• Hamon Lord of Striking Thunder x1
• Magna-Slash Dragon x1
• Gravi-Crush Dragon x1
• Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger x1
• Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle x2
• Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle x2
• Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise x3
• Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus x1
• Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth x2
• Crystal Beast Sapphire Cat x2
• Seismic Crasher x1
• Dweller in the depths x3
• Cats Ear Tribe x2

Spells (16)

• Ancient City Rainbow Ruins x3
• Axe of Despair x1
• Crystal Promise x2
• Crystal Abundance x3
• Crystal Beacon x3
• Crystal Blessing x2
• Terraforming x2

Traps (6)

• Rainbow Gravity x2
• Rainbow path x1
• Crystal Pair x1
• Torrential Tribute x1
• Crystal Raigeki x1

And that's the deck. I'm open to suggestions.

Fixes

• I have had extensive experience with Crystal Beasts, and own a very potent CB deck. I can give you the following advice:

-1 Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder

-1 Magna-Slash Dragon

-1 Gravi-Crush Dragon

-1 Seismic Crasher

-1 Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle

-1 Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle

-2 Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise

-3 Dweller in the Depths

-2 Cat's Ear Tribe

-1 Axe of Despair

-1 Terraforming

-1 Crystal Blessing

-6 Traps (All of them).

-------------------------- Total: -22 cards.

• Then add:

+2 Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus

+2 Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger

+1 Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth

+1 Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat

+1 Kuraz the Light Monarch

+1 Rescue Cat

+3 Nimble Momonga

+1 Crystal Promise

+3 Crystal Release

+1 Lightning Vortex

+1 Giant Trunade

--------------------------- Total: +17 cards. Deck: 40 cards.

• This deck should be much more potent, but also much harder to play. You should try it out though, once you get how it "flows", you'll own with it. I know I do xD.

If you have any questions on this build I'll be glad to answer. --Darth Covah (Talk | Contribs) 20:05, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot Darth, I'll give it a shot. I think I see what the deck would be all about with these fixes. Thanks for the Help. Kaeruthelegend 18:06, 7 March 2009 (UTC)Kaeruthelegend

Adding synchros

I have run into this problems with CBs, especially against a remove from play deck. I was wondering if you had thought of adding synchros to the CB to give it an extra strategy to use on a more powerful opponent. After a few tries I came to the conclusion that this must be done with as few cards as possible so I tried it with 2xKrebons and it worked quite nicely, especially when comboed with Rescue Cat. I used a deck like this, would you have any suggestions/comments as regards to it?

20 Monsters:

CB Sapphire Pegasus x3
CB Topaz Tiger x3
CB Amber Mammoth x3
CB Amethyst Cat x3
CB Ruby Carbuncle x2
Kuraz the Light Monarch x2
Rescue Cat x1
Witch of the Black Forest x1
Krebons x2

18 Spells:

Crystal Promise x3
Crystal Blessing x2
Crystal Beacon x3
Crystal Abundance x3
Crystal Release x2
Ancient City-Rainbow Ruins x2
Terraforming x1
Lightning Vortex x1
Giant Trunade x1

2 Traps:

Torrential Tribute x1
Mirror Force x1

Side:

Red Dragon Archfiend
Gaia the force of earth
Colossal Fighter
Stardust Dragon
Goyo Guardian

Uhh... I hope you're building this deck for the traditional format, because Witch of the Black Forest is B&. Runer5h 16:34, 25 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

• You need to add 2 copies of Summoner Monk. The Horror'^{Speak if you dare} 17:27, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

You should get rid of all 6 of your trap cards, Crystal Beasts don't work well with them Reddv 20:59, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
