Talk:The Dark Emperor Structure Deck

I hope they dont change the deck to much, the cards are just awsome (they could add a mirror force ;D). Gredinus

• Don't mean to destroy you're dreams, but Upper Deck will become selfless enough to put Mirror Force in a Deck when the Philippines has a blizzard. --Riko 00:54, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I talked to my local judge, and he said that there were going to be 3 cyber dragons, a jinzo, granmarg, 3 thestalos, and mobius in it. Poque

• Too good to be truth. Konami is too greedy to give us those cards. --Dragon Slayer (Contribs) 14:32, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
• Probably, but we will just have to wait for the deck to come out to know. Poque
• have they 100% Confermed that D.D. Warrior is in the deck also have they told any other cards yet other then the monarch in it I to hope they do not change it that much
• I just got the deck here in Brighton, Michigan and i'm looking right at D.D. Warrior. I just finished puting the New images for Caius the Shadow Monarch, Dimensional Alchemist, and Samsara Kaiser.
• Could you Please Post the link? Poque

A french website shows 2 card printed with SDEM-FR001 and SDEM-FR009 written on it, these two cards ar "Caius the Shados Monarch" and "Exiled Force". You can see them here. The released date may be the European date.

• Thanks, cheers for the link.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 01:57, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
• I found a French image of Caius, in which we can see that the set ID is "SDDE" and not "SDEM", I'm sorry, I read wrong...

Anyway, in shriek the date of release is now 8th, not 2nd.

This has already been released in some countries; Denmark is one of them (I bought one yesterday) Gabriel 07:09, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Any counter against it?

Recently almost every deck no longer works since most staple cards works when they are destroyed and sent to the graveyard by battle, this decks tries to avoid the graveyard part. Since this deck can keep running with almost every card, it almost impossible to touch the foe. This deck lets you to resort to 3 D.D. Warrior, 3 D.D.Assailant,3 "shadow monarch", 3 Banisher of the Light/Radiance,3 Bazoo, and more staple monarchs thanks to D.D. Warrior effect(plus 1800 ATK?) and the scout plane's effect, 3 Different Dimension Revival(Call of the Haunted anyone?), plus add all the staple cards, Fissure, Lighting Vortex, Smashing Ground, Dimension Prison, Mirror Force, it's a unstoppable force making almost every card a destroy or remove from play opponent's monster.

• To win in one turn as long as you have almost no magic/trap cards, play Magical Merchant while an effect that includes "...a monster that goes to the graveyard are remove from play instead" variant is in play, since almost all of your deck is remove from play, activate Dimension Fusion or Return From Different Dimension and use your D.D's to remove heavy hitters to knock him out with your other monsters, rinse and repeat as many as Return from Different Dimension trap cards you have.

My dragon deck no longer works, the Masked Dragons wont get a chance same goes to Troop Dragon,in fact... my graveyard and cards('cause of the "when destroy by battle and sent to the graveyard" effect) becomes so utterly useless and so my game, with just creatures this deck can remove yours from play and your opponent is stacking magic/trap cards that does the same, Zombie decks are useless now, and so forth and forget about buying Phantom Darkness boosters if you plan to go against this deck, you wont get a chance (if you get lucky, maybe once)to activate anything from your graveyard or if you plan to play creatures that requires another creatures. From my local tournaments (FJ games), the only decks I see that thrives against it are the ones that plays like the Six Samurai's decks. No longer I play with the Dragons, ever since this deck I cant even play round one and it's pretty sad since Ive been collecting the dragons cards since Legacy of Darkness, I had to resort to what I had bought most way back, a Deck Devastation Virus deck, that includes cards like Spell Canceller and Skill Drain to counter at least the majority of the D.D.'s, Banisher's and scout plane's effect's to touch the player before any of them touch the field and before he/she can activate a trap or magic card like Macro Cosmos and Dimensional Fissure. I haven't found a way to completely shut down this deck, only to get around it, touch the opponent then wait again until the opportunity arise.

Is there a good Dragon deck written somewhere that can stand against this deck? This deck completely shuts down Rise of the Dragon Lords Structure deck, is there a way to completely shutdown this deck as well?--CyberDarkEdge 13:47, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

A way to defeat this deck

Frost angel 21:30, 9 May 2008 (UTC)Hi, there are some archtypes that can help you against it, one example can be the crystal beast´s deck, or the gladiator´s deck, I know it because I use the "Dark Emperor" deck and those two really are a headache to me, one or two skill drain in your sidedeck could help you, also there is the card rainbow veil to kill the D.D. monsters without problems.

Info Man I'v been playing against this deck a plenty...and to be honest, its not THAT great. I have a sucky deck, but most of my monsters are 1900 atk under tribute regulations. I use a spellcaster deck, which has 3 gemi elf, 3 skilled dark magicians, and if I feel like being risky, I'll switch out a few cards for 2-3 Dark Elfs. Granted some cards effect can hurt em, but really...as long as you keep pounding them, their screwed. Again, my deck is nothing special, has 3 royal decrees...but thats as fancy as its getting. Rest are just filled with fun cards like Magical Hat, DM, and DM girl...will cards to support them...which many argue suck, and I agree. I made this spellcaster deck just because I loved DM mostly...and even against modified versions of this deck and they still lose.

Tips

From what I've heard so far, this deck doesn't seem that hard to beat. My deck tends to work with monstters on the field, so the Graveyard wouldn't be much of a problem. Try using a Beatdown Deck (that's what I use). And the other person's right, Skill Drain would eliminate any problems immediately. Finally, since Gladiators have nothing to do with the Graveyard (they go to the Deck, usually), there'd be no problem. Oh, and I really don't recommend Dragon Decks.

my dark emperor

I beat everyone of my brothers structure decks with the dark emperor except Zombie world. After he pulled out these two cards I was gone:

Imperial Iron Wall Zombie World

• Those really can ruin a macro monarch deck. A friend of mine uses a lot of spell/trap destruction in his monarch deck to avoid that. He also use Necrovalley to get rid of Zombie World. Gemini69 16:19, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

I do have a card that can destroy spells and traps but the problem is I don't get to it all the time. Anyways thank you very much for the tips on destroying Zombie world and imperial iron wall!

dang it sorry I've been forgetting to sign my messages. I left these comments--Blueyeyesawesomedragon 17:11, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
