My Decks (those that can be pigeonholed, anyway)[edit]
- a deck for summoning Fusion monsters as often as possible
- And I did it without having seen one episode of GX, thank you very much.
- a Burn deck containing no monsters
- It was intended to make monster destruction tactics invalid. Win/loss-wise, it was a spectacular failure.
- a Gladiator Beast deck
- plus a few extra grappling monsters added for fun, including Hyper Hammerhead, Kuriboh, and Stardust Dragon
- a deck built only from cards I got from someone who stopped a long while ago
- Most of the cards are no later than Legacy of Darkness, plus some Magician's Force.
- Those were the days... back when the word "Archetype" would have sounded like a word from Harry Potter.
My EARTH deck is an absolute mishmash. It's got beatdown, searching, destruction, counters, and lock cards in whatever ratio I feel like using. (It also has a few cards that I keep either for sentimental purpose or because they've saved the game for me more than once. Usually both.)
Random project: Anime-inspired decks[edit]
This project has been canceled. I'd wanted to show what kind of deck I would build if I had access to cards owned by the anime's main protagonists. Why bother with such a comparison? Because I feel like the anime writers wouldn't know a good strategy if it walked up and bit 'em in the ass. (This is another reason why I'm not bothering with Zexal.) Straight-line tactics get eschewed for drama. That's how we get theme-deck duelists like Bastion and Harald, not to mention luck-sack duelists like... well, everyone.
So with all of that in mind, I decided it wasn't worth my time. It ain't worth your time, either.
