for the time being, this deck will just be on dueling network, but will eventually become real(the goal is to use pendulum summons to call utopia then build it up)Djt08031996 (talk • contribs) 22:26, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

I have both a ZW (i call it Ulti-topia) deck and a pendulum deck IRL, i can probably flat out tell you pendulums are a waste of time in a ZW deck since you really only need to drop 1 Utopia to win, provided you have its support on hand, so a swarm with them is pointless and since the pendulums do NOT go back to the extra deck if use as xyz material so you can't even use them as recursive fodder. Also i would drop the ATK boosting spells (ego boost and Blustering winds especially) and replace with Reverse Breaker since it comes with this nice technicality that your opponent can't respond to your Attacks with it (as that would be responding to its effect) (see http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Reverse_Breaker?t=20140601064435 ) and any 1 ZW will boost its ATK high enough that nothing short of honest (and maybe crane, depending on the ZW) will kill it in battle, more ATK on a 5000 Targeting immune un-respondable monster that can negate attacks anyway (Grand mole) is kind redundant unless you wanna go for a 1shot kill, in which case Mage power that shit. I'd say the same for the gravity axe, but i personally like it and the idea of keeping them stuck in ATK mode with Ulti-topia on the board is too entertaining to me to tell you to take it out. Xyz effect and energy suck and Burden is kinda pointless since once Ultitopia is on the board everything will be going to defense, provided they live that long (Why is there no Piercing ZW......) and you don't have Troll Axe on it.

Phoenix Wing Wind Blast > Raigeki break and can take out ARK instead of it just dropping a material. I'd also say drop most of those traps in favor of monster removal and anti-backrow like wiretap and trap stun to make sure your Utopia doesn't get bottomless'd before you can arm it. Limit reverse especially since there is only 3 things it can revive (not counting the pendulums as they should not be in the grave under normal circumstances) and Ulti-topia should not be dying

Also, Sacred Crane REALLY loves both goblindbergh, Tin Goldfish etc and pendulums, and if you really wanna keep the pendulums in i'd say drop the gazers and focus on Raidant knight and Foucault, as they can be used with silver claw and tip toad, not just eachother and are more searchable (Azure Dragon Summoner and Summoner's Art can search both of them and foucault, respectively......wait i've told you this beforeDreadKaiser (talk • contribs) 23:22, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

I may not need a swarm to call utopia, but what about when I want to call it AND leo arms?Djt08031996 (talk • contribs) 16:36, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

Atleast in my deck, I don't normally need to use Lio Arms, when i do, i use a pair of The Tricky, Photon Slashers,Star Drawings, You probably want the Star Drawings in there tooDreadKaiser (talk • contribs) 03:34, July 15, 2014 (UTC)

star drawing does have a pretty useful effectDjt08031996 (talk • contribs) 05:13, July 15, 2014 (UTC)

here's a new update on the deckDjt08031996 (talk • contribs) 20:08, July 15, 2014 (UTC)

Dragon Horn Hunter might be a better choice than Foucault's Spellstone Canon, as it has a better Synergy with Radiant Knight. It turns Radiant Knight into a solid 2000ATK beatstick and boosts another copy of itself to 2500ATK. With Pendulum Summon you can easily summon Horn Hunters from your Hand, which might turn into a Rank 6 Monster. You might prefer Spellstone Canon because it helps make Leo Arms but Horn Hunter is IMO overall the better card.

I also noticed you play Rank 3 Xyzs without playing Level 3 Monsters, you should change that ASAP. --BronzeJohnson (talk • contribs) 22:15, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

guess I forgot to trim down the djinns, and I tried to limit all my monsters to levels 4 and 5, to help pull utopia and leo, so the hunter is not the best choiceDjt08031996 (talk • contribs) 02:37, July 18, 2014 (UTC)
