AnimeBuu@netscape.net DifferentIdeas? - AnimeBuu Many people seem to be confused about originality. Apparently, some duelists seem to think that just because you run a deck similar to another person's, it becomes an unoriginal clone. What if they were the person who created that archtype. What I'm trying to say here is that just because people use some of the same cards, it does not mean that they didn't put there heart and soul and originality into it, because it may seem the same on the surface, but underneath the exterior each person has there own strategy. But now onto some strategies, new deck types and Cost Effective Decks. This first Idea is for those of you who run a Chaos Deck - First you need 3 Shinatos*, 3 Relinquishes*, 1 Black Luster Soldier (Envoy of the Beginning)3 Chaos Sorcerers and 1 Chaos Emperor Dragon (* can be replaced by other light and dark ritual summons like Hungry Burger)It would also help if you had some Sonic Birds, and some Senju of the Thousand Hands. - You also need other low level light and dark monsters like in any Chaos deck O.K. The Strategy of this deck is to use the Shinatos and Relinquishes to discard cards to the graveyard with the effect that their ritual summons, so you can summon your chaos monsters, While still getting powerfull light(Shinato) and dark(Relinquished) monsters onto the field. And if/ when they get destroyed you have even mor light and dark monsters in your graveyard to summon your chaos monsters. FORGOTTEN (yet usefull) CARD- A forgotten card that could help a chaos deck is none other than Time Wizard. How, well just call his effect wrong and all of your monsters on the field are sent to the graveyard. Sure you have to pay some life points but hopefully you had weak light and dark monsters on the field, so it wouldn't hurt you much. LIKE IT? Now onto some new deck ideas 1. This first one is very interesting- It uses cards like Great Long Nose, Time Eater and yes maybe even Yata. The strategy of this deck is to put your opponent in the ultimate lock. By using these cards in the right way you can make your opponent not to be able to draw, skip there MAINPASE and skip there BATTLEPHASE!!!!!!!!! See the strategy? You basically use these cards to completely mess your opponent up and then rip out strong monsters to finish them off. 2. Water Control - nuff said (IOC helps this out A LOT!!!) 3. Instead of using a gravity bind deck try a Gora Turtle Deck. Could be very effective if you use 5 star monsters with good effects like Invitation To A Dark Sleep and also would work well with the first deck mentioned (If you can't remember- it's the phase control one a.k.a #1 in this section) Now onto the first of many cost effective decks (BEWARE this does include entire Deck lists) 1. Water/Light/Wind - Now it's title is, ready for it, "From the SKY to the OCEAN this deck will rule this notion" (lol, it's sad I know) - Interesting combination, huh? okay so heres the idea - the monsters are: 2x Crab Turtle 3x Wing Weaver 2x Sonic Bird 2x Senju of the Thousand Hands 3x Histeric Fairy 3x Harpies Brother 3x 7 Colored Fish 2x Yomi Ship 3x Thunder Nyan Nyan 2x Otohime 2x Soul of Purity and Light Total 27 Magic/ Trap: 2x Sword of Deep Seated 2x Horn of the Unicorn 2x Malevolent Nuzzler 1x Monster Reborn 1x Dark Hole 1x Change of Heart 3x Ebikyo Drakmord 1x Trap Hole 1x Fatal Abacus 1x Skull Invitation 2x Turtle Oath Total 17 Deck total 44 Side Deck: 3x A Legendary Ocean 3x Spirit of the Breeze 3x Silfed 3x Shining Abyss 3x Maha Vailos There will be another cost effective deck in my next tip!!!
