Goldenratt and Trivi-AM's Death From Above!

Golden's Piece - The Mighty Blackwings!

Over 4 Stars

4 Stars and Under

Extra Deck

Triv's Piece - The Soaring Harpies!

Extra Deck

Hi guys, these our decks hope you like :). The stratedgy behind our deck(s) is based around Dark Simorgh and summoning him to prevent spells and traps from being set and then attacking for the win, with plenty of removal cards to maintain field advantage. As we both use plenty of Winged Beasts Icarus Attack is a must, since it's an instant 2 for 1 and it can help clear away those annoying Dark Armed Dragon's if we happen to be facing one. Harpies' Hunting Ground gives us more spell/trap removal, as does Battlestorm who can make a great beatstick given the large amount Winged Beasts we have. Blackwings, obviously, have their ridiculously broken synchro/special summon abilities giving us acces to cards like Dark Strike Fighter, Dark End Dragon, and other broken synchros. The Harpies give us the ability to increase the power of most of our monsters, also they provide great beatsticks and have good field control. So vote for me (Triv) and Goldenratt.

The Frog Prince - Messengerofthedark and Runer5h

Messengerofthedark and I decided to do Frog Monarchs. It makes sense; Treeborn Frog has always been used in Monarch control decks, but the beauty of putting them in separate decks is that MotD (the Monarch user) can devote more of his resources to Monarchs because I (the Frog user) am providing tribute material.

The Prince's Frog

Extra Deck

Basically, the deck is about giving Messenger lots of tribute material for Monarchs. I've got all sorts of neat froggy tricks for this deck.

First of the Frogs is Ogre Frog, from SOVR. Dumping Treeborn Frog, special summoning itself, and allowing for additional normal summons in a single turn; that's good. Oh, Treeborn made it in too. And next comes Mother Grizzly, to search out any Frog I need. Submarine Frog is a beatstick (so to speak). Substitoad is a prerequisite of Frog decks; it can cycle through the deck and is a great searcher with a protection effect added in. Dupe Frog can create some nice locks - ever been subjected to the Dupestitoad Lock? - and can also search the deck. The last Frog, Flip Flop, is just really useful, opening the field up for direct attacks. Then, Cyber Dragon lends some much-needed beatdown power to the deck and is a free summon, and Fishborg Gunner is a nice tuner and another special-summonable monster.

For spells, there's Pot of Avarice, which can be instantly used with the help of Substitoad. Monster Reborn, Trunade and MST are obvious. Lightning Vortex can control a swarm. Book of Moon can protect some of the more vulnerable Frogs, and allow Submarine Frog to actually kill something. Finally, One for One can bring out Substitoad on the first turn if necessary, or Fishborg Gunner for a Synchro summon.

For traps, there's Mirror Force and Froggy Forcefield as 2 attack blockers. Bottomless protects vulnerable Frogs. Graceful Revival, meanwhile, can special summon any monster in the deck except Cyber Dragon and Mother Grizzly for quick tribute fodder. Finally, Waboku protects my Frogs from OTK pushes. There's also a low-leveled extra deck, because of the low levels of my monsters.

Now for MotD's deck; Lineage of Jiraiya! Explained in the words of Messenger.

Lineage of Jiraiya

(For those who don't understand the title, click on the name in it, it is a link that will explain.) This deck is the main powerhouse behind the team, providing beatstick monsters with powerful effects. Most important are the Monarchs. They provide strong, single tribute monsters that are easy to use with Runer's Frogs.

I'll start with the traps. Solemn, Bottomless, and Wrath are pure necessity, as they are powerful, multi-use cards. The abundance of low attack DARK monsters makes CCV a very usable card, especially with Mask of Darkness to help recycle it, or anything else that will help. Waboku and Threatening help to ensure that our monsters won't be downed in battle before we can make our move. And just in case, Limit Reverse can bring back many a total of 8 monsters, which is huge for -1000 attack monsters, especially when they are good for sending to the grave. Ultimate Offering can speed up the Monarch summoning process big time, letting me use it to summon a Monarch during my opponent's turn, and possibly foiling their plan. But the most important traps are By Order of the Emperor and Grave of the Super Ancient Organism. Order can make sure that I don't hurt either myself or my partner by just negating their effect, and turning it into a draw. Grave works amazingly well, considering all of the monsters of regular use in our decks are lv 6 or lower, effectively protecting us from Judgment Dragon and Dark Armed Dragon.

But with all of the powerful Synchros that I can access, Grave must be removed somehow. And Trunade and MST are great at that, more so the former than the latter. I figured Heavy Storm was too dangerous in this deck, with all of the continuous traps, I opted for MST. Monster Reborn can summon any monster to use as tribute fodder for a Monarch, or to bring forth a fallen Monarch. Allure is standard draw for a largely based Dark deck, and Sarcophagus moves any two cards safely to my hand, which when played right, hurts my opponent terribly. Vortex is standard monster removal, and Double Summon can replicate Ultimate Offering, for a potential 1st turn Monarch. Soul Exchange can tribute an opponent's monster, and deal a second blow with their effect, making most useful with Kuraz, but great for any Monarch.

But, the namesake of this deck is the Monarchs, including one of each, and two of the best, Kuraz, Caius, and Raiza. They are the most devastating, but aren't alone in the assault. Breaker makes a decent attacker, but is best when removing spells and or traps. The deck is laden with low attack monsters, making them great for Limit Reverse, but also have deck manipulating abilities, especially when they are sent from the field to the grave, perfect for a double-whammy if tributed for a Monarch. Unfortunately, the Monarchs boast a top attack of 2400, so to compensate, Tuners Krebons, Dark Tinker, and Sinister Sprocket can help to bring out an array of Synchros,which specialize in everything from field clearing to protection to destruction to attack boosting. Krebons also can hold its own with its attack negating effect, keeping itself around for a Monarch. But the best is Necro Gardna. Even if the monster on the field isn't Krebons, it will be safe thanks to Necro. All in all, this deck doesn't rely entirely on my partner, rather, it is supported by him, and allows him to run his own strategies.

Tell us what you think of these concept decks. Runer5h 16:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Final Destination - Gadjiltron and Jetronix

Greetings all, Gadjiltron and Jetronix here presenting an uncanny mix of Dark Simorgh and Secret Village.

Gadjiltron's Deck:

Hybrid Wings

Monsters

Extra Deck

Jetronix's Deck:

Spell Sanctuary

Basically, most Dark Simorgh Lockdowns suffer from their own Anti-Spell Fragrance as it locks out their spells for one turn, and Secret Village decks running Decree are unable to play many traps as well. So, Dark Simorgh here is mainly to prevent the opponent from setting traps, while Secret Village locks out the opponent from playing any Spells. This usually leaves for one last weakness, which would lie in monster effects. Forbiden Chalice would hence be there to shut off any monster effects that threaten the lock.

The main aim for Dark Simorgh would be to dump monsters quickly, either from the hand or through Synchro Summoning. This is the main reason why there are quite a few Blackwings in the Deck. With Gale and Soldier of Mist Valley being the prime Tuners, LV7 or LV8 Synchros are very easy, whilst also filling the Graveyard for Dark Simorgh. Escape can also fetch removed Gales for a second Synchro Summoning, or pull out any Simorghs removed, either for allure or the other Simorghs' costs.

The Secret Village Deck is largely based around most spellcaster-based antimeta elements. Kycoo removes monsters from the Grave, Raioh functions as a beatstick and counter-Synchro monster, and in the meantime Summoner Monk can fetch Flamvell Magical for a quick LV8 Synchro.

In case either deck is in a pinch, they have their respective Counter-Spell or Counter-Trap cards that would help hold the line until the lock is set up.

No Spells, no Traps, and the players are not affected by these drawbacks. Final Destination. --Gadjiltron 04:01, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
