Forum:Dark Diviner Deck - Help Please

So, as you might expect, the point of this deck is to destroy the opponents deck. The key card is Dark Diviner, which can be easily summoned by the combination of Dark Bug and Junk Synchron. Needle Worm and Shield Worm provide additional milling. Armory Arm allows for extra ATK power in case I needed it. Spirit Barrier combines with Dark Diviner to protect my life points and Astral Barrier can help protect my other monsters. Doom Dozer provides a beater and allows me to mill 1 card from my opponent.

Optional Cards:

Infernity Beetle - It's a level 2 DARK tuner, which means it can combine with a spent Needle Worm as a backup method of summoning Dark Diviner. It's also an insect, meaning it can help summon Doom Dozer. Still, it could be replaced if there's a better card.

Iron Chain Snake - Provides additional milling and attack reduction. Combos well with Dark Diviner, but isn't searchable, making it difficult to play. May be subject to replacement if I can find something better to use.

Leviair the Sea Dragon - Allows me to recover Diviner if it gets removed, but with only two level 3 monsters in the deck (Junk Synchron and Iron Chain Snake), it's difficult to summon. Definitely open to suggestions for replacements on this.

Worm Bait - Combos well with Bee List Soldier for draw power, but is otherwise relatively useless.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

you'll need 3 Macro Cosmos and 3 Dimensional Fissure lots of decks today use the grave very wellLaserGhost (talk • contribs) 04:37, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

One problem with that: So does mine. In order to summon Diviner, I need to be able to use my grave. If I can't get Dark Bug or Junk Synchron into the grave, it's very difficult to summon.

Funnily enough I'm trying to create a Dark Diviner deck as well, although I've gone for a light and dark theme over pure insects to be able to get more cards like BLS out. Though in terms of cards which work for both decks I'd throw in a Foolish Burial and a Sangan to get either the Dark Bug or Junk Synchron to your grave faster, as trust me getting them into the grave is this decks biggest weakness. With your use of Insects I'd definitely suggest putting in an Underground Arachnid into your extra deck. I'd also swap one of the Bribes for a Solemn Judgment and get rid of one of the Starlight Roads for a Solemn Warning.

If you ever feel like going the way of the light\dark path of a Dark Diviner deck may I recommend using Ryko (as he can help mill either a Dark Bug or Junk Synchron into the grave), Effect Veiler, Chaos Sorcerer and Return from a Different Dimension (so that you can reuse the cards used to get Chaos Sorcerer and BLS out). That's it for now as I'm very much myself experimenting with the deck.--The FireFALL (talk • contribs) 20:18, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
