Comment:

So whats my problem? I been losing a lot to higher level decks. I can swarm rapidly and can generate trap and magic lockdown to the least-Lord of D is no problem to get out. Against my friends black wing and Light sworn I would always lose.

The black wing definitely is unable to overpower me except it has tons of cards like mirror force, dark hole, torrential tribute, solemn judgment, royal oppression that just screws me. Not to mention having removal cards like dark armed dragon, chaos sorcerer because he stack cards... Whenever he gets his plague spreader zombie, there gonna be some synchro that return my field cards to my hand.

The light sworn has firmly built, milling it will take at least 15-30 turns. Nothing much from that except perhaps some return to hand face downs or light sworn beast summon and primarily judgment dragon. Nevertheless versatile. If he is losing, plague spreader zombie tuner gives him and synchro for a return from hand disposition whereby I lose the next round.

Having knowing all this, could there by anyway I could further perfect my deck so that it can maybe accelerate in summoning complete lock down or precautions I need to balance my deck with. I am also aware there are cards that is heavily influential cards against both deck being them light and dark. But implementing them is no fun. I want to explore the potential of a lock down deck. Please help and Thank You MSN [email protected] if anyone's interested in mentoring me. Good advice will be appreciated

Suggestions

I suggest using less Level Ups, Level Modulations, and The Flute of Summoning Dragons, since they all seem to be dead draws. I suggest you add Exploder Dragon, 2 Bottomless Trap Holes (Trust me, they won't mess with your Royal Decrees, just don't play them while it's around) and a Mirror Force. I can understand if you don't want to use any other Traps, but they won't hurt the flow of your Deck. Also, do you have any cards you can use as a draw engine, like Allure of Darkness, Reckless Greed, or Trade-In? Also, don't use three Lightning Vortexes. Use Reasoning instead. Because having draw power will really help your Deck. Also, you should try Dark Hole, since it won't affect Horus LV6, and Monster Reborn, since it revives all but 2 of your monsters and has no cost. Overall, it's actually pretty good. --Drew-Gi-Oh! (talk) 04:14, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
