Forum:Hijack Deck

For those who may not have followed the original brain-storming session, this deck centers around stealing your opponent's monsters. Annoyance cards were a secondary consideration. My thoughts during the card selection process follows.

That's it. Here are my thoughts, in no special order.

• After some consideration, I decided to stick with a basically DARK deck, since I felt it gave me more options for milling through my deck. Some more digging, and I decided that a combination of Veil of Darkness and Recurring Nightmare would help me not only grab cards, but aid in field presence as well.

• Dark Necrofear had to be in this deck, because of her ability. 'Nuff said.
• Giant Germ is here for field presence and to serve as fodder for Dark Necrofear.
• Grinder Golem My idea here is that I would take advantage of Grinder's summoning condition, and then use either Brain Control, Creature Swap or Enemy Controller to grab him back.
• Jowls of Dark Demise a controller card that also happens to be a fiend, which means it can help bring out Dark Necrofear.
• Rafflesia Seduction is another take control monster.
• Changer Synchron I needed a Tuner, and this was the best I could come up with. Plus, it comes back via Recurring Nightmare See comments.
• Battle Fader Now, really - is there a more annoying card?
• Goblin Black Ops Attacks directly, comes back with Recurring Nightmare
• Evil Hero Infernal Gainer Love this card's effect, serves as fodder for Necrofear. Too bad it isn't dark. Envision using him with Dark Necrofear, but admit this card is a candidate for swapping out.
• Power Invader Back-up plan, and comes back with Recurring Nightmare. Also a fiend type.

• Double Summon Thought this might prove useful. Should probably swap it out.
• Veil of Darkness/Recurring Nightmare Helps speed up the deck
• Book of Moon For use on either my or my opponents monsters.
• Brain Control/ Creature Swap /Enemy Controller - more monster stealing stuff.
• Swords of Revealing Light - annoyance and stall.
• Starlight Road - Nice to have a backup plan.

Following are cards I considered, some of which I'd really like to find a way to use.

• Archfiend Interceptor - Come on, attack me and take damage too. What's not to like? see comments
• Goblin Elite Attack Force - A level 4 with 2200 ATK, this seems like an awesome card.
• Hunter of Black Feathers - Now, how annoying would this card be to Blackwings?
• Phantom Skyblaster - A fiend that generates tokens that either deal damage or can be tributed. Wonderful
• Mask of Darkness - Might be nice to grab and reuse a trap. And it's a fiend.
• Sinister Sprocket - Still thinking about whether or not it's requirement to bring out a DARK synchro monster is a detriment (it's a tuner), especially since it's Goyo I'd REALLY like to get out. Nice way to get rid of Traps and Spells.
• Destiny Hero - Plasma Now, I admit, I really had to think about whether I should choose this card or Dark Necrofear. In the end, it was the 3 monster Tribute requirement that made me go with Necrofear]].
• Tuner Capture - well, why not? Could always take out a Threatening Roar for it.

That's it. Don't know how this runs at all, since I haven't actually pulled this deck together (which means, yes, it is purely conceptual at the moment). Take a look, and have at.--Kungfu-mama(talk) 18:50, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

I would not use any copies of Changer Synchron, because it's got a pretty weak-looking effect to me. How about the recruiter tuner Stygian Security? Fills up the grave quite nicely for Necrofear. Also, do NOT use any Archfiend Interceptors. It's easy to destroy. Runer5h 19:22, May 6, 2010 (UTC)Runer5h

• Thanks for the tips! And I love the Stygian Security tuner. I'll have to make the swap.--Kungfu-mama(talk) 19:29, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Thought I would add a link to the original discussion. Concept - Hijack Deck. Is it possible? --Kungfu-mama(talk) 14:16, May 7, 2010 (UTC)

Additional Thoughts...

Ran across a couple of cards that I thought should be included in this list:

• Brain Crusher - Gotta love the name. It's Dark, but it's an insect type (too bad).
• Riryoku - Slash a monster's attack pts in half, and give 'em to another monster? Almost as annoying as Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind.
• Magical Arm Shield - Make your opponent attack one of his own monsters.
• Dark Tinker - It's dark, a fiend (fodder for Necrofear), and it has an effect that could prove useful.

BTW - I am REALLY leaning towards Destiny Hero - Plasma over Grinder Golem... --Kungfu-mama(talk) 18:19, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

• Pulled this deck together and gave it a spin. It really didn't do too badly, and was pretty fun to play. Made some minor changes to the lineup (mostly on a whim) which are noted in the template above. I did find that I was wishing Goblin Black Ops was a Fiend type, but its ability to attack directly made me feel better about that choice (along with the fact that I could call it back with Recurring Nightmare ).
