Deck Fix:Johnny Steps
June 14, 2005

 

Hey guys! I've dug through a load of emails of decks to fix and I've found this diamond in the rough. Also, note, I can only do ONE fix, because of the depth I go into, and it would make my articles and fixes seem long and boring. Sorry guys! The first, is a Johnny Steps (the DDR freak in the anime who lost to Tea's killer groove) deck combined with Gravity Bind, so we're going to have to add some funk to it. = P Mind you, it is a Traditional deck, and I rarely will do traditional decks, so please, refrain from sending them. Here's the deck:

This is my latest deck called Fight Music, which is
basically a Johnny Steps/Gravity Bind deck with a few
tweaks. As usual, I want to keep the theme, keep it
traditional, and trim it down to under 45. BTW, since
Johnny played so few cards in the anime, I added cards
that I thought he might have used.

Total - 50 (3 Fusion)
Monsters - 25
3x Performance of Sword
3x Magician of Faith
3x Water Omotics
3x Doma the Angel of Silence
3x Dancing Fairy
2x Sonic Maid
2x Sonic Bird
2x Lady of Faith
1x Witch of the Black Forest
1x Magical Scientist
1x Jinzo
1x Cyber Jar

Magic - 19
3x Axe of Despair
2x Commencement Dance
1x Swords of Revealing Light
1x Ritual Weapon
1x Raigeki
1x Premature Burial
1x Pot of Greed
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Monster Reborn
1x Harpie's Feather Duster
1x Graceful Charity
1x Fusion Weapon
2x Demotion
1x Dark Hole
1x Change of Heart

Traps - 6
1x Mirror Force
1x Magic Cylinder
1x Imperial Order
2x Gravity Bind
1x Call of the Haunted

Fusions - 3
3x Musician King

Thanks in advance.

Well C.Z., 50 cards is just asking for bad draws. We're going to have to cut it down to 40-45 area and add some more musical cards to it, assuming thats what you want for such a fantasic dancer's deck ( >_>;; ). Let's start with the monsters.

-3 Water Omotics
-3 Doma the Angel of Silence
-1 Dancing Fairy
-2 Demotion

That hits us down to 40. So we're working with 40 cards now. Let's get moving along.

-1 Magician of Faith
-2 Lady of Faith
+3 Senju of the Ten Thousand Hands
Reasoning: 3 Magician of Faith is a bit too much, and the Lady of Faith don't seem to help the deck out much. Adding 3 Senju of the Ten Thousand Hands help get out those Performance of the Sword faster. Also, did I mention, Senju is aan avid break dancer with all those hands? = P

-2  Sonic Maid
-1 Dancing Fairy
+3 Battery Man AA
Reasoning: This fix may seem totally random. Then again, look at Johnny Steps, he's really random too. These little guys are as versatile as they come. If you have 2 in ATK mode, you've got 2 2000 attackers, if you have them in defense mode, 2 2000 defenders. 3 makes the job so much more fun. Besides, these things are the batteries to the DDR machine, of course....everyone knows this. They also slip under that Gravity Bind.

You monster count is now 18. Now, onto Magics.

-1 Ritual Weapon
-1 Fusion Weapon
+2 Back to Square One
Reasoning: These equips are FAR too situational. Adding Back to Square One give some bounce, and remind us of DDR, you're always dancing back to square one ( I would know, I'm a DDR freak, yeah I admit it). Ditching a card to bounce one back isn't horrible, so use it eh?.

-3 Axe of Despair
+2 Metamorphosis
+1 Snatch Steal
Reasoning: Axe of Despair and Johnny Steps? He isn't a mass murderer...although with that hairdo he could be. Metamorposis brings out those Musician Kings so much faster. Snatch Steal would symbolize Johnny trying to steal the DDR trophy from Tea (although it never happened, it works).

Your Trap Line-up is fine. I personally loved this deck, here's the final copy. = ).

Johnny Steps Reformed

3x Performance of Sword
2x Magician of Faith
1x Dancing Fairy
3x Battery Man AA
2x Sonic Bird
1x Witch of the Black Forest
1x Magical Scientist
1x Jinzo
1x Cyber Jar
3 x Senju of the Ten Thousand Hands

2 x Metamorphosis
2x Commencement Dance
1x Swords of Revealing Light
2 x Back To Square One
1x Raigeki
1x Premature Burial
1x Pot of Greed
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Monster Reborn
1x Harpie's Feather Duster
1x Graceful Charity
1x Dark Hole
1x Change of Heart
1 x Snatch Steal

Traps - 6
1x Mirror Force
1x Magic Cylinder
1x Imperial Order
2x Gravity Bind
1x Call of the Haunted

Fusions - 3
3x Musician King

Hope you enjoyed guys!  If the deck fixes seem to be off theme, I apologize, but it seems to work and add some playability to it.Sorry if it seemed to long, but thats just how I work, I'd rather explain myself than seem cryptic. Keep sending in your decks, I love checking them out! Until next time: Happy Dueling!
