Forum:Help on Six Samurai Lockdown

I've noticed Six Sams remain good field control, so I was hoping, with this deck, to create a deck which can lock the opponent down, then systematically slice his life points out. Having both Great Shogun Shien and Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En in the deck allows you to limit your opponent to one card per turn, with one negation to use. With Royal Decree up, it cannot be a Counter Trap, so anything Shi En couldn't negate is sealed. Attempts to destroy Royal Decree with spells will fail, and even with Monster Effects, the Samurai can run them over easily. Spirit and United help with draw power, to ensure you have a backup Decree in hand.

Extra deck: 3 Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En

I know I didn't fill out the extra deck, but I was hoping to get suggestions on that part of the deck. What Synchros CAN I use with this star combination and what ones SHOULD I use?

Thanks in advance! Snowpaw (talk • contribs) 03:47, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Sams are the single best Archtype. As much as I like Xyz and Nordics more, Sams encompass everything an archtype could ever hope for.

So anyway, Editz:

Take Spirit down to 1, good draw power but can be a dead draw.

Advisor isn't great, maybe only 1??

Add a Hand of the Six Samurai Just one

Ally of Justice Catastor for your extra

Grandmaster of the Six Samurai, run 2, spectacular card

Enishi, Shien's Chancellor, run 1 or 2, your choice.

If your lookin at control, 3 Musakani Magatama is a MUST.

Mirror Force, Dark Bribe, Torrential, Solemn J, Solemn W, D Prison, D**M STAPLES!!!

Take 6 strike down to 1

AND WHERES THE F****NG RoTA and SHIENS SMOKE SIGNAL?!?!? WHAT WITH DOUBLE SUMMON?!?!!?!

The only thing I can tell you is that Great Shogun Shien doesn't work with Shi'en since Shi'en negates the activation of a magic or trap card so if you negate one with him, your opponent can still activate another one right after that, even if great Shogun Shien is on the field.

Yeah, I got the idea a six sam Lockdown deck wouldn't be good. I hate being vulnerable to other people's trap cards, so I prefer to use Decree to just stop them ALL. But there's a lot of good trap cards to help six sams. I particularly want to use Dual Wield, since if your opponent rips you down to just one samurai you can bounce two of his cards. DEADLY against stuff like Brionac. I meant to put RotA in but I don't think Shien's Smoke Signal is a good idea.

I have a lot of Uniteds....speaking of which I think my real deck will have United We Stand. It's THE single most powerful equip card in the game, and with six sams swarming the field, I can't believe more people haven't used it. Double Summon was MAINLY for times I had Kageki, something to use with him, and Mizuho/Shinai. I could get them all down in one turn. I may just omit or side it.

Thanks for the advice, Catastor I totally need...I think I'll run a Brio too, just because. Dark Bribe I don't think I'll use. I may want to run Starlight Road and a Stardust Dragon for more negation power. The biggest thing I didn't put on that I want advice for is....Laevateinn. I want to use it in this deck because with all my negating, my biggest threat is a REALLY strong monster. United We Stand can help that, so can Hand of the Six and Mizuho, but those CAN be negated. Laevateinn CANNOT be responded to PERIOD and it doesn't require any nordic anything to use it. Would it be an asset at 1 or 2 just in case someone goes all Five God Dragon on me? Also, Advisor was so that if anyone used a single type deck against me, they're boned. There are a LOT of them at my local game store. Zombie, dragon, and Fairys just saw a HUGE resurgence with the new Structure Deck. Half the people there were using Fairys...With Advisor and a Magatama to back him up, I can make Master Hyperion CRY.Snowpaw (talk • contribs) 01:29, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

A better lockdown would be to combo Shien's Advisor with Gozen Match or Rivalry of Warlords and try to summon as many Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En's as you can (use Double-Edged Sword Technique).

How about this for a deck then?

Extra Deck: Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En x3 Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier Ally of Justice - Catastor x2

Side Deck: Spirit of the Six Samurai x2 Hand of the Six Samurai x2

Took out Dojos for Smoke Signal as when I did test draws using proxys for this....I got CRAPPY hands every time. Snowpaw (talk • contribs) 09:50, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Take out Temple of the Six for Shien's Dojo or Solidarity. Temple of the Six is too slow, even though it provide a few Counters for Gateway, might as well just use Dojo to Special Summon a monster instead. And where's your RotA? That's basically a must-have in Six Sams. I would side the Shien's Advisor, because he is too weak and is not even a Six Samurai. You could try using Elder of the Six Samurai (I haven't used him yet, but is considering though...) Stickmanex (talk • contribs) 09:40, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
