This is my second article about theme decks. Today ill give u a warrior deck. I hope u enjoyed my thoughts and opinions on Gravekeeper’s. Let’s get right into it MONSTERS Section 1: Monsters Here I will list a bunch of useful Warrior-Type Monsters and give u my opinions on them Hayabusa Knight (Rare in PSV) ATK/1000 DEF/700 Earth/Warrior 3 Stars Effect: This monster can attack twice during the same Battle Phase Cool huh. He can attack when Messenger of Peace or Gravity Bind is out and can and should be pumped up for massive damage. A great card. I’d use three Dark Blade (Rare in MFC) ATK/1800 DEF/1600 Dark/Warrior 4 Stars Normal Monster Your Basic Beatdown attacker. There are no 1900 Warriors so here u go, good enough. I’d use 2 or 3 Marauding Captain (UR in LOD) ATK/1200 DEF/700 Earth/Warrior 3 Stars Effect: As long as this card remains face-up on the field no other Warrior-Type Monsters can be targeted by attacks made by your opponent’s monsters. When this card is Normal Summoned successfully, Special Summon one Level-4 or lower Monster from your hand. The backbone of your deck. He’s semi-limited so use 2 of him. Protects your monsters and summons more. A great card Don Zaloog (UR in PGD) ATK/1400 DEF/1200 Dark/Warrior 4 Stars Effect: When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent’s Life Points select and activate one of the following effects: * Randomly discard one card from your Opponent’s Hand * Discard the top two cards from your opponent’s Deck A Great Card. Good for distruption. I’d run 2………although It will be hard to get a hold of…….. Sasuke Samurai (SR in PGD) ATK/500 DEF/800 Wind/Warrior 2 Stars Effect: When this card attacks a face-down Defense Position Monster, destroy the Monster without flipping it face-up. Any effects the Monster has is negated. Another cool one. Id boost it up a bit cuz it can be killed by almost anything………use with extreme caution Amazoness Paladin (Common in MFC) ATK/1700 DEF/1500 Earth/Warrior 4 Stars Effect: Increase this Monster’s ATK and DEF by 100 points for every face-up Monster on your side of the field that includes "Amazoness" in the card name or is named "Amazon Archer" If both are face-up you have 2 1800 ATK monsters not bad……….. Exiled Force (SR in LOD) ATK/1000 DEF/1000 Earth/Warrior 4 Stars Effect: Offer this face-up card as a Tribute to destroy one face-up monster on the field. Monsters offered for a Tribute Summon or offered as Tributes due to other card’s effects are excluded. I’d tell you to use it even if it wasn’t a warrior just play it. Tribe-Infecting Virus would kill this deck so play this instead. Other Notable Monsters would include "Axe Raider" and "Warrior Dai Grepher" along with "Freed the Matchless General" I suppose if your on a budget you could include cards like "Throwstone Unit" and "Frontier Wiseman" along with some common warriors……. Other than the Warriors I’d use Witch, Sangan, and Breaker for this deck We all know what they do so I’m not gonna type them up Section 2 – Spells Here are a few notable Spells useful for Warrior Decks Reinforcement of the Army (SR in LOD) Normal Spell Effect: Add up to 2 Warrior-Type monsters from your deck to your hand. Helps to get out monsters for captain. Its semi-limited to 2 so I’d utilize both slots. The Warrior Returning Alive (Rare in LOD) Normal Spell Effect: Special Summon one Warrior-Type Monster from your Graveyard to the your side of the field. Extra Monster Reborn. I’d use 1 There are some common spells (and traps) in LON and LOD that could be useful such as: Dragonic Attack Array of Revealing Light Ready for Intercepting There are others but I can’t recall them right now You should also utilize Axe of Despair, United we Stand and Mage Power if you have room along with the staples Section 3 – Traps Basics here 2 Waboku Call Order Ring Mirror Force Here’s a sample warrior Deck that I conjured up: -Monster- 18 3 – Hayabusa Knight 3 – Dark Blade 2 – Maraurding Captain 2 – Don Zaloog 2 – Amazoness Paladin 2 – Sasuke Samurai 1 – Exiled Force 1 – Breaker the Magical Warrior 1 – Witch of the Black Forest 1 – Sangan -Spell- 16 3 – Mystical Space Typhoon 2 – Axe of Despair 2 – Reinforcement of the Army 1 – The Warrior Returning Alive 1 – Raegeki 1 – Harpie’s Feather Duster 1 – Change of Heart 1 – Pot of Greed 1 – Monster Reborn 1 – Premature Burial 1 – United We Stand 1 – Mage Power -Trap- 6 2 – Waboku 1 – Mirror Force 1 – Ring of Destruction 1 – Call of the Haunted 1 – Imperial Order -Total- 40 email me questions, comments about this article or my Gravekeeper one to ogre_of_magic@yahoo.com (If if get posiitve comments for my articles then I'll write some more)
