Forum:Skull Guardian Deck

Well, I won't be seen on the wikia for a week (Florida!) so I'm showing you one last deck before I go. It's centered around one semi-impractical monster - Skull Guardian. Why? Because I love its artwork - and because there's some surprising Ritual support coming out in Stardust Overdrive, so if I'm making the deck there's never a better time!

This deck is about summoning and protecting my monster, Skull Guardian. Along with Enraged Muka Muka, it's my soul card, and this deck reflects that. (Yes, it might sound corny, but it's true; ask Messengerofthedark.) As bizarre as it might sound, Ritual monsters have gotten some seriously powerful support.

For starters, there's 3 Guardians, and the obligatory Manjus. Rai-Jin is another awesome card and a temporary boost to Skull Guardian. So is Honest – I can't have a deck based around a single LIGHT monster and not use Honest! And there's some Lightsworns too; Ryko for removal, Lyla for S/T removal and beatstick power; and Jain for being a beatstick. All of them fuel Rai-Mei, which powers up Skull Guardian. Black Shining G is a bit of tech. Meanwhile, Norsewemko is another great Ritual monster and I figured since I was already putting her spell in there...

Well, I'll get to that. Next; Light Laser. Because Skull Guardian is a LIGHT Warrior, it's a no-brainer, and can also be attached to Jain. It's the ultimate problem solver that can't be stopped by something that isn't Imperial Iron Wall. Monster Reincarnation returns Honests and Skull Guardians that have been milled to my hand. Next; Ritual of Salvation! It's the primary reason for the Lightworns, because if it's in the grave, I can stop Skull Guardian from being targeted that turn. Of course, I also have Skull Guardian's ritual spell, Novox's Prayer. Then, there's an assortment of other cards; Monster Reborn, Heavy Storm, and Foolish Burial (that can dump BSG into the grave). There's also Preparations for the Ritual, which retreives milled Prayers and fetches Skull Guardian all in one.

For traps, I've got negations with Solemn and Divine Wrath, and also Ritual Buster. It's a phenomenal lockdown card for a turn, so I'll be able to attack with my Guardian and not fear Mirror Force. Speaking of which, that made it's way into the deck too.

Tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 01:31, 27 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

um...

1st, WTF is this?! I have never seen something like this...I LOVE IT. now, i like the set up you have but you will want some extra support for this deck, so why not mess them up by not letting your opponent special summon. Im talking about Ritual Fiend Releaser. 1st when you activate a ritual spell, you remove this from the grave and it counts as part of the summon, meaning you alread get 3 stars out of the way, only from your grave. after that you need a lvl 4. if its from your hand, you keep some hand advantage since you are not using most of your hand for the summon. and since you have this deck set up to protect skull guardian, you will stop your opponent from special summoning for the rest of the game. can you say "good by blackwings?" you could still use some staple spell cards like mystical space typhoon and the big issue with this deck is that you have no draw power what so ever. you might want to cut down on the ritual monsters and spells only because this deck has cards to recycle them so it shouldnt be a big problem. mirror for is ok but if you are stuck with cards in your hand, why not use wing blast too? anycase, i love the deck. big props for this--Duelest 101 03:06, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

My god, is that what it does? I think that Konami's overcompensating for a lack of power in this type before; Ritual monsters now have ways to become untargetable, search incredibly easily and gain hand advantage, and now any ritual monster can become Vanity's Ruler? Holee sh1t. In that case, screw Rai-Jin - this goes in instead, considering that it'll already be easily milled. Runer5h 00:41, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Holy.

This deck is so amazing, I never thought Ritual Monsters would make a come back. Those types of monsters are the least used and aren't typically good but I find this deck just to astonish me as far as potential and build goes. It seems to run so well. The only thing I don't like is Rai-Jin, but I probably hold a personal grudge against that card. --VylitLovesViolence 22:27, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
