Forum:Unexpected Gladiators to the Rescue!

Since GB is probably my favorite Archetype, I'm always searching for ways to make them good again. One way I discovered: Using Andal with Rescue Rabbit and Unexpected Dai.

For the Extra Deck, I play an assortment of good Rank 4 Monsters (like Daigusto Emeral), 2 Elder Entity Norden and the GB Fusions.

I like the Deck quite a bit but I have not been able to test it as much as I'd like due to time constraints. If someone has suggestions and/or wants to test the Deck before giving feedback, I would be very grateful. --.:BronzeJohnson:. (talkcontribs) 12:41, September 18, 2015 (UTC)

You could try Gladiator Beast Augustus, as when ever he is special summoned by a GB he summons another from your hand (yes I know not the place you want them to be but guess what) triggering their effects. Then you can contact fusion or let Augustus return them to the deck to be summoned by other GBs. If you run three Augustus cards you can even go into a rank 8 xyz in some situations. Good luck. --Venom assult trooper (talkcontribs) 19:42, September 18, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. Augustus is an interesting card but it requires an own build to be effective. Icarus Attack and Gladiator Beast Respite, for example are needed in an Augustus centric build. I would rather go for the Rank 4 variant because of the versatile Rank 4 Pool. --.:BronzeJohnson:.

Updated the Decklist. Test Tiger was surprisingly useful during testing, especially going Rescue Rabbit -> 2 Andal -> Tiger -> Bestiari -> Gyzarus. Also, the inclusion of Leviair the Sea Dragon (Test Tiger + Murmillo) can recycle Rabbit quite effectively, especially since Andal will return to the Deck so often that neither Rescue Rabbit nor Unexpected Dai will be dead cards.

What I need now are suggestions on replacing Instant Fusion and Juragedo. Since Norden is a Thing, Instant Fusion and/or Norden might get limited or banned in the future. In case that happens, I need some kind of replacement ready. Juragedo is not yet available here in Europe and I expect it to become quite expensive. As much as love the synergy with the Deck, I probably won't shell out the money to buy them. What other Level 4 Monsters are easily special summoned and have decent ATK? --.:BronzeJohnson:.
