Hi. As you've probably
read in the subject, I think my deck is too large. I have 60 cards in my deck
and my opponent doesn't seem to have trouble getting his tribute monsters and
wiping out my monsters before I make a tribute. Maybe I don't have enough
tribute monsters in my deck. Here's the list:
Monsters:
2 Sangan
2 Hane-Hane
3 Jirai Gumo
3 7 Colored Fish
1 Wall of Illusion
2 Mask of Darkness
3 Dark Elf
1 Giant Soldier of Stone
2 Witch
of the Black Forest
2 La Jinn
2 Shadow Ghoul
1 Summoned Skull
2
Magician of Faith
1 Man-Eater Bug
1 Sanga of the Thunder
1 Suijin
1 Barrel Dragon
1 Blue-Eyes
1 Dark Magician
Magic:
1
Card Destruction
1 Swords of Revealing Light
2 Heavy Storm
1 Soul
Exchange
1 Change of Heart
2 Paralyzing Potion
1 Last Will
1
Sword of Dark Destruction
1 Monster Reborn
2 Fissure
2 Sword of
Deep-Seated
1 Dian Keto
1 De-spell
1 Dark Hole
Traps:
1 Horn of Heaven
1 Magic Jammer
1 Mirror Force
1 Acid Trap
Hole
1 Waboku
1 Ultimate Offering
2 Reinforcements
1 Trap Hole
1 Robbin' Goblin
I think Magic may be my problem, but all my cards
seem so good. I need some outside expert opinion

[I just wanted to let everyone know that
I will not be including any Magic Ruler in my fixes until I can see the complete
Card List / Spoiler.]
Hello Tray41. Before I get started on
specific fixes, let me just tell you that having single copies of most of your
cards isn't a very good idea. In a game with such little draw power like Duel
Monsters, you want to be very consistent.
Increasing the numbers of your cards will help you greatly.
Remember this, consistency wins.
Lets get to the specifics...
-Monsters-
Your playing too many different types of Tribute monsters. Choose a
theme and stick with it. Everybody's favorite is Summoned Skull. So we will base
your deck around that.
Here is an example of what your monsters should look
like:
-21-
3x La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp
3x 7 Colored Fish
3x Summoned Skull
2x Witch of the Black Forest
3x Dark Elf
2x Wall of Illusion
3x Magician of Faith
2x Man-Eater Bug
This choice of monsters give you both solid attackers and
defenders. Lets face it, Dark Magician isn't too hot. Summoned Skull is just a
much better monster overall.
Suijin and Sanga of the Thunder are two other monsters that didn't
belong in this deck (Or any for that matter). Barrel Dragon and BEWD both need
decks based around just them to work. You can't expect to win with so many
single copies of bad/mediocore tribute monsters.
I also noticed that you were playing with a high amount of monsters
(32 to be exact). A good rule is not play with anything over 20-24
monsters. I know you had Shadow Ghoul in there, but the problem is, Shadow Ghoul
based decks don't work well.
Onto the Magic...
-Magic-
Lets see...
-15-
3x Fissure
2x Heavy Storm
2x Swords of
Revealing Light
3x Stim Pack
1x Raigeki
1x Dark Hole
1x Change of Heart
1x Monster
Reborn
1x Pot of Greed
All the restricted cards are self explanatory. If you can't get
ahold of any Heavy Storms, you can add De-Spell or Card Destruction in their
place.
Even though Stim Pack slowly eats your monsters ATK away, it's
still a pretty good card because most of the time your monsters won't last very
long anyway. Stim Pack works great on Dark Elf / 7 Colored Fish / La Jinn the
Mystical Genie of the Lamp. It makes them all equal to or above the ATK of a
regular Summoned Skull.
-Traps-
-10-
3x Trap Hole
2x Magic Jammer
2x Robbin' Goblin
1x Mirror Force
2x Seven Tools of the Bandit / Waboku (Your Choice)
Trap Hole is a given, along with Mirror Force and Magic Jammer.
Robbin' Goblin is just a very devastating card if used correctly.
I left the choice of Seven Tools of the Bandit to you
because, alot of times you will find yourself with a useless Seven Tools of the
Bandit on the field. If your opponent is laying a beating on you, Seven
Tools of the Bandit isn't going to turn that around. Waboku on the other
hand, will. It has plenty of uses and you will most likely use them all up each
game (If you draw them that is).
That gives us a total of 46 cards. I recommend playing the
deck over and over and cutting it down to 40-42. This improved version of
your deck should win you a fair amount of games.
Good Luck!
