I made this deck, because I was getting sick of hearing people complaining about how stupid Cyberdark Impact (the set, not the card) was. I wanted to show how awesome some of the cards in that set could be, and one of the ones that got my interest was Senet Switch and its monsters. And, surprisingly, it works pretty well; Alien Infiltrator is actually a pretty awesome card to surprise the opponent with, and I found that most people play far too linearly to expect the card zone-shifting of the cards.

The strategy is simple: deny the opponent his spell/trap usage, while controlling the monsters they have, so I can chip away at their LP with Infiltrator. Ojama Trio, Nimble Musasabi, and Nightmare Archfiends are there as the main monster controllers; not only can I clog up the opponent's field with monsters they can't really use, but since they all have burn effects to them when destroyed, I can pick them off with Rampaging Rhynos for some extra damage. And, of course, there's my favorite combo of Blasting Fuse and either Winged Rhynos and/or Vortex Trooper. As always, it's not perfect, and it's NOT intended to be a tournament-level deck, but I'm happy with it. 66.228.109.2 01:27, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Interesting. Runer5h made a version of this, i'm expecting him to show up shortly and post it.--Akiza Izayoi 01:36, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Did someone say Runer5h?
Here's my build. Use what you will in it. Runer5h 02:35, February 10, 2010 (UTC)Runer5h
There's not much in your deck that I'm not already using, unfortunately. Doesn't look like our strategies are all that different, aside from the monster-burn I added to mine. So, thanks, but there's not really anything I can use from your deck. 66.228.109.2 02:50, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Well, you might want to use the Gaia Powers to ensure that Infiltrator gets through with more ATK points.--Akiza Izayoi 03:59, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Roughly half the monsters in my deck are WIND, so Gaia Power wouldn't be that useful. Skill Successor might, but I'm not sure if I want to put it in my deck. 66.228.109.2 15:53, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you have Rallis the Star Bird, since his effect isn't all that useful. I'd suggest Mist Valley Falcon, useful effect plus 2000 Attack, or Mist Valley Soldier who can open you up to Synchros, if you want, or Sonic Shooter for a good themed card, or perhaps Slate Warrior for a 2400 ATK flip effect monster which subtracts upon death. Also, do you really need 2 Tribute Dolls? Just a suggestion, but you can try Whirlwind Prodigy for double tribute, or Soul Exchange/Fiend's Sanctuary for an additional tribute. I don't think you need a field spell, getting rid of your opponent's monster columns is more useful than increasing attack. I suggest siding a third Ground Collapse, and some D.D. Crows for protection. Good Luck! --Drew-Gi-Oh! (talk) 04:27, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

I don't use Field Spells in this deck, because of the split between the monster's Attributes and the wide range of Types. I also don't want to use Synchros in this deck, so Mist Valley Soldier is out of the question. I had Sonic Shooter in this deck, at one point, but I got rid of it because of its inconsistency. I'm not sure about Slate Warrior, and Soul Exchange I'm leery of, because of the loss of battle phase. Otherwise, I'll take your suggestions under advisement. 66.228.109.2 (talk) 15:09, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
