How about another new deck type, by Ben
Hello all. I used to be Ben the Hen, but I need a new, better name, but cant think of one... oh well Ben will do. Anywho. Sadly no one decided they wanted to make a Dark Scorpion deck (wrote a couple articles on them ages ago, but nobody wanted to give them a go), but oh well, time for the new deck idea. It is a Lava Golem Deck. Lava Golem is a very cool card. It reads...
 
 Fire/Fiend/8/3000/2500
Effect: This monster must be Special Summoned on your opponents side of the field by offering 2 monsters on your opponents side of the field as a Tribute. This card inflicts 1000 points of Direct Damage to the Life Points of this cards controller during each of his/her Standby Phases. When you Special Summon this monster, you cannot Normal Summon or Set a monster during the same turn.

 
It's a secret rare from PGD and it's quite unique really... yeah... well onto the point. The idea of a Lava Golem deck is ofcourse... to get out Lava Golem on your opponent's field, stop it from being attacked, sacrificed, or in some way destroyed. Now here are some things that would make a Lava Golem deck good...
 
Mask of the Acursed: Now this'll stop Golem from attacking, and add to the burn. Not bad really.
 
Gravity Bind/Messenger of Peace: Another thing to stop Golem from attacking, but Acursed is better in my opinion.
 
Mask of Restrict: This lil baby will stop your opponent from saccing Golem, so they will continue to receive first degree burns each turn. It wouldn't be very nice having Golem being sacrificed for Great Maju Garzett (another pretty cool card that is underlooked) or Jinzo or something along those lines.
 
Those are some examples. Now for the locks...
 
Magic Reflector, Jinzo, Lava Golem, Gora Turtle, Amplifier, Mask of Restrict. Now this combo will stop Golem from attacking, being sacced, and from your opponent destroying it with magics or traps. just make sure your opponent doesnt destroy Gora Turtle, or your in a slight bit of trouble.
 
and the obvious one...
 
Lava Golem, Mask of the Acursed, Mask of Restrict. Now this is an old combo. But I've never seen it played. Stops Golem attacking, 1500 damage a turn, and no sacrifices.
 
Oh well that's it. Email's Uber_Pea3@hotmail.com . And if by some chance you know where to buy cards in Onehunga, Auckland, New Zealand, i beg you to tell me. (I am isolated from buying cards, only AST (man thats a worthless pack) and my deck lacks half the "staples" and i dont own anything rarer than D.D Warrior Lady.)
 
Goodbye.
