Evil Post-Ban Deck Types,
Malcolm
Hello, everyone. This is my second post,
actually my third (my other name is Ishinara, but the things posted in the post
that has that name are a bunch of BULL%$#@), so you may have read my last
post called "Awesome Attack Locks", If not, you haven't seen the beginning of
this month. Anyways I wanted to see what people thought of the new deck types
the ban list is promoting, and really, I agree with them. Please don't send me
hate-mail just because I said that, because when I first saw it, it made me
HATE, absolutely Hate Konomi (I played a Chaos/Yata deck), but then I saw that
it would actually help me (My CED was stolen on a plane trip during the summer
[along with my Shinato and my Guardian Angel Joan {all of which were in my Chaos
Deck}]). A Yu-Gi-OH Veteran at my local Yu-Gi-OH place had a deck that no one
could defeat: A Burn/Stall deck. This guy had many decks that I could crush with
my Chaos Deck (I, fortunately, was the only one who played Chaos [the Metagame
was Beatdown there]), then he comes out of the blue with this deck with NO
beatdown monsters. I was thinking "His other decks are so weak, I can crush them
with my little pinky, even his Instant win deck was hardly even a threaght,
what's this gonna do?" He played it,................and CRUSHED ME LIKE A BUG!!!
Sorry abou that, anyways, here are the deck types and why they are good. I won't
tell you how to build them, I'll just give you the staple cards to
use.
1. Gravekeepers
Deck:
Staples:
Spells:
3x
Necrovalley: Essential, plain and simple.+ 500 ATK and DEF is nothing to scoff
at, and blocking off the graveyard is just an added annoyance (for your opponent
that is).
3x Terraforming: need I explain why? 2 x the chances that you'll
get Necrovalley.
Traps:
3x Rite of Spirit: Basically an upgraded form of
monster reborn for your gravekeepers. Not affected by Necrovalley is HUGE
plusses in this deck, It's also a trap so you can activate it on your opponents
turn, EVIL.
3 or 4 trap and magic negators: I recommend Curse of Royal, Magic
Jammer, 7 tools, or Judgement of Anubis(if you can get it). #1 concern in a
Gravekeepers deck: PROTECT NECROVALLEY, otherwise all your 2000 ATK Kill Cards
become 1500 weaksticks (that's why you have 3 in this deck. 6, counting the
terraformings).
Monsters:
3x Gravekeepers Assailant: Oh, you seem to have
an Archfiend Soldier equipped with an Axe of Despair and Mellevolent Nuzzler,
and all I have is a puny 1500 ATK Gravekeepers monster. Oh, look what I play,
Necrovalley. Now it's 2000 ATK. I Attack. Would you normally do that, No. If the
monster just happened to be Gravekeepers Assailent would you, YES! Let's go on
with the story saying that the Gravekeepers Monster is Gravekeepers Assailent. I
attack, I switch your 3600 ATK monster into Defense. It seams only to have
1500 DEF. OUCH! (your opponent is a sore loser and hits you because he refuses
to believe you completely crushed his most powerful monster [Once my opponent
did hit me when I Raigeki'd his feild after he played Lord of D. and activated 2
Flutes of Summoning dagons on 3 Blue Eyes and a Tri Horned Dragon on the
first turn]).
3x Gravekeepers Spear Soldier: 2000 ATK, 4 star Trampler (does
damage if your opponents monster is in defence, for those of you who didn't
know) W/ Necrovalley out. Sick, Evil, and JUST PLAIN NUTS!!!
3x Gravekeepers
Spy: your opponent has a berserk gorrila running a rampage? No problemo. Set
this little baby in defenceand have halted in it's tracks and you get any
gravekeeper, except Gravekeepers Cheif from your deck and special summon it in
F/U attack or defence. With Necrovally out your opponent takes 500 points of
damage (because of her exceptional defence of 2000, then adding the Necrovalley
ATK/DEF bonus 2500), you get a Gravekeepers Assailant, your next turn, You get a
free shot at your opponents life points (switch Gorilla into defence, thus
destroying it by its own effect, you redirect your attack at something else
[like your opponents life points for instance]).
1x Gravekeepers Cheif: This
is my least favorite Gravekeepers card, but it's a nice beatstick (2400 ATK). I
agree with the only one Cheif on the feild at a time, but I think the other
effect should have been "when this card is succesfuly tribute summoned select
one monster with Gravekeepers on its name and special summon it in face up
attack or defense, This cards effect is not effected by Necrovalley". Your
graveyard being free will not be what you want. Even though Monster Reborn's
gone ther still is Autonomous Action Unit, Soul Release, and other stuff I can't
think of right now. You still basically get a Level 4 2400, no matter what
happens. You could put in 2 of these, but that's MAX.
1x Gravekeepers Guard:
Hane Hane's older, Gravekeeper brother. 1900 DEF is nice, because it's 2400 DEF
W/ Necrovalley. The effect is nice, but that's all it is, no gamebreakingly
BROKEN effects, so you should put in only 1.
3x Mystic Tomato: OK, now we get
into the NON Gravekeeper monsters. In fact, in a Gravekeepers deck these are the
only non-Gravekeepers you want in there. It's Basically this: get virtually any
card from your deck when this card is destroyed in battle. It's like another 3
Spies.Evil, huh?
Strengths: It may not seem like it, but this basically is a beatdown
deck, with all monsters exept 1 searchable. Its evil, just plain evil. I,
Unfortunately haven't gotten to play with one of these, but they have unlimited
potential. Second only in pure brute strength to well built water decks (average
4 star monster = 2600 ATK w/ A Legendary Ocean) Gravekeepers Decks tip the
scales at 2000 ATK w/ Necrovalley per 4 star monster, but wait, there's more!
Gravekeepers Decks also have the Impecable ability to SWARM. Also, the main
backbone of the Deck, Necrovalley seems to have the ability to BLOCK OFF THE
GRAVEYARD! The revival tool, Rite of Spirit, is a trap and is NOT AFFECTED BY
NECROVALLEY!!!
Weaknesses: Another
Gravekeepers deck will hurt because limiting them from their graveyard is just
what they do. A Water Deck: A well built water de blows this deck away with all
of their 5 star 2400's turning into 4 star 2600 when ALO is out. That's Just
Wrong. Also a stall deck will hurt cause you can't attack. You might want to
Side deck 3 Gravekeepers vassals just for that.
2. Water:
Staple
Cards:
Spells:
3x A Legendary Ocean: Do I even Have to explain??? 1 less
level for every single water monster and + 200 ATK! THIS CARD IS BROKEN. It's
what allows Water decks to get, oh, let's say 2650 ATK 4 STAR
MONSTERS!!!!!
3x Terraforming: same reason as in the Gravekeepers
deck.
Traps:
2 or 3 Magic, Trap removers: Same reason as in Gravekeepers,
but it's not as vitally important.
Monsters:
4-6 Level 5 2400's and 2450's
water monsters. Whether it be Terrorking Salmon, or be it Giga Gagagigo
(chuckle), these are what really make this deck shine. 2600 or even 2650 for a 4
star monster isn't right, sensible, or even COMPREHENDABLE!! It's evil, just
that, there's nothing more to be said.
3 or 4 Level 4 1800+ water Monsters.
Good ways to get around that nasty gravity bind, or level limit area B, for that
matter. 2000+ ATK Lvl 3 monsters are evil as well.
1x The Legendary
Fisherman. You know why that's in there.
3x Aqua Spirit: Aw common who
doesn't love having your opponents strongest monster turned into defense. I Love
it, and so should You.
Strengths: I don't HAve to tell you, do
I?
Weaknesses: Another Water deck, I guess. A good Stall/Burn Would knock it
around a bit, too.
I saved the Best,
and mean BEST for last.
3.
Stall/Burn
Staple cards:
Spell"s:
3x Level Limit Area B: stalling.
3x Messenger of Peace: again,
stalling.
3x Burn Spells: The ones I can think of are Ookazi and Poison of
the Old Man. I prefer Poison.
3x Wave Motion Cannon: 8 turns= instant death
for opponent. Trust me, 8 turns go very fast.
2x Raregold Armor: trust me,
Its evil, very, very evil in this deck.
1x Dark Room of Nightmare: an extra
300 damage will screw your opponent, very, VERY, much. Think about it: cannon
soldier does the same damge as ookazi by killing a monster, ookazi does 1100
points now, and Poisons effects are much more equal now. Trust me, it adds upp
ludicrously fast.
1x Infinite Cards: For ludicrously large hands, which is
very bad for your opponent, very good for you.
1x Stumbling: switch monsters
into defence when they're summoned, with Gravity Axe grarl, it makes it
evil.
1x Gravity Axe Grarl: Here's a little combo, first turn: activate
stumbling, then equip Gravity Axe grarlto a Monster: BOOM they cant attack
(unless it's a total defence shogun, and those don't see mush
play).
Traps:
3x Secret Barrel: CED is Gone, so people don't worry about
their hand size any more. boom flip this when your opponent has over 5 cards on
the feild and 5 in their hands. BOOM, they just lost 2000 points of damage.
Since this is a stall deck their feild and hand will be pretty big.
2x Barrel
Behind the Door: Just in case you run into another burn deck. Also, you can
combine it with RoD and do double damage. Side deck one as well.
1x Magic
Cylinder: stall, do damage: KILL.
1x Ring of Destruction: Combinewith BBoD to
do massive life point damage.
1x Ceasefire: Ah, My favorite burn card,
Ceasefire. Boom, activate this card all of his F/D flip effects, and defences
are flipped F/U w/ no effects activated then do 500 points of damage for eery
effect monster on the feild. In this deck that's probably around 3000 points of
damage to your opponent for screwing up their strategy. That sounds
fair.
Monsters:
3x Des Lacooda: Drawing power made crazy. 3 of these on
the feild and you've got yourself 4 cards a turn you draw. believe me, it's
evil.
3x Solar Flare Dragon: 3 on feild, 1 equipped with RA, or you have a
PoD on the feild attack lock, and -1500 to your opponents life points each turn.
EVIL.
2x Patrician of Darkness: Two words for why this monster is in here:
Attack Locks.
2x Cannon Soldier: he's evil here
too.
Strengths: OK, most decks wont
be able to attack, you're doing massive damage to them, they are going to lose.
Plain and simple.
Weaknesses: Another burn deck, I guess. Also a life point
gain deck. You have limited demage inducing cards, they have pemanant life point
increasing cards. Sidedeck 2 Simochi's for this.
Those are only the basic cards that you can use. Tweak them to
liking and completely demolish your opponent. But in the Water Vs Gravekeepers
thing I think That gravekeepers would win because of their swarming abilities
and the fact that the Gravekeepers Assailant switches the strong attack weak
defensed waters into defense, and the strong defense, weak attack monsters into
attack.
