Yo, im back with another article, i notice that at the time of 9 Feb, pojos hasnt posted my ALO deck yet, despite i sent it a month ago, meh.

Anyway, as you can most likely tell, i am writing about the kings of advanced, the Warriors.

Warriors are so versatile. Seriously, they should always have an answer, like control does. This is why warrior control is great. But anyway, Warriors usually feature this monster lineup.

D.D. Warrior Lady

Don Zaloog

Marauding Captain

Exiled Force

Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning

Zombyra the Dark

Blade Knight

Look at these monsters, they all have some purpose. Zombyra (highly controversial choice by karl, who i was gonna choose anyway) and Blade Knight are great beatsticks. Zombyra in my opinion is great for taking down any level 4 monster and then is still a good 1900 attack. DDWL is there for all purpose removal, as with Exiled. Don Zaloog and Marauding Captain are there for huge damage/hand disruption against an open field. Nothing is more fun than attacking your opponent with both of those to then see him summon a Gorilla or something and then remember he cant attack your Don till next turn. Who said you need Waboku? IT SUCKS! Sorry i have just been answering emails 24/7 about that card. And BLS, lol if i have to review that card its like saying that CED is gonna get unbanned. (which in case you arent that smart, it isnt)

Now as you might have noticed, i am running warriors myself (i pulled marauding!) and i have yet to face a Kinetic Soldier since my tourney isnt that advanced at all and the regionals are too far away from my house. But speaking from other people i have learnt that Kinetics will kill you. No offense can be made with a Kinetic on the field. So Warriors should generally pack a lot of removal, like smashings and sakuretsus will be needed a fair bit.

Also i have given up writing formatted articles, i am now writing what i feel and i cant be stuffed to do it extra fancy since school has started again :(. But anyway, Warriors should be just out smarting and faster than any other deck. Reinforcements and Marauding are the best swarmers, but still are outranked by pyramid turtle. When facing Zombies you must run all your DDWL and Exiled to get rid of all Turtles you see, they are very annoying.

Warriors are probably the only type that can be called an Aggro deck. You may want to look at my AWCC, or Aggro Warrior Chaos Control.

Monsters: 18

BLS

Jinzo

Airknight

 

DDWL x2

Blade Knight x2

Reflect Bounder

Don Zaloog x2

Zombyra the Dark

Breaker

Scientist

 

Injection Fairy Lily

Marauding Captain

Exiled Force

Sinister Serpent

Tribe Infecting Virus

 

As you can see I run a good amount of monsters, 18 is a solid amount backed up by solid monsters. Most of my monsters are Aggro but Sinister and Reflect are in there for stalling when i am not doing well. I love bounder simply because my opponent is so foolish they never want to make a 1700+ sacrifice to gain field control. All my monsters have served me very well indeed in the past month. Injection, a new addition combats open fields very well with the marauding, 4800 damage by losing 2 cards from your hand and 2000 life points? Doesnt sound that good but your monsters are still on the field.

Spells: 17

 

Forceful Sentry

Confiscation

Smashing Ground

Nobleman of Crossout

MST

Heavy Storm

Premature Burial

Pot of Greed

Painful Choice

Change of Heart

Snatch Steal

Enemy Controller

Creature Swap

Scapegoat

Swords of Revealing Light

Reinforcements of the Army x2

 

All my spells are self explanatory, reinforcements is my witch and sangan, smashing ground is my raigeki, and i run field manipulation cards such as enemy controller and creature swap. If you control the field you control the game honey. As always every deck needs stalling, so thats why swords is there. 3 turns does a lot to draw that tribe/torrential. Scapegoat is there for great stalling and is so much better than waboku. For all of those people who run waboku run goats. Trample kills though. Also great synergy with Swaps and Controllers. I dont really have room for The Warrior Returning Alive, all my other spells are just too good to take out.

 

Traps: 7

 

Bottomless Trap Hole

Call of the Haunted

Dust Tornado

Ring of Destruction

Sakuretsu Armour

Solemn Judgement

Torrential Tribute

 

As you see my traps are a standard lot. My sakuretsu is my mirror force, and my bottomless is great removal against anything thrown against me. Solemn Judgement is so great late game, its even great early game. Once i Solemned a Tribe when i was 8000 life points. Of course i killed my opponent next turn. It goes well with the warrior theme of kill em well and kill em fast. Torrential is the one trap that is the best but i can never use correctly. Usually i kill 2 of my monsters to destroy 1 of my opponents. Fustrating really.

 

Now Mirage would "seemingly" go into my deck well but as i said its a crap card, it is great if you combine it with another great spell or an even crapper one than mirage that serves no other purpose. You should never waste your valuable MST on this thing unless you need the cards badly, and if so make sure you at least have no cards in your hand before you play Mirage.

I think my warrior deck is pretty versatile and has a lot of strengths. The obvious weakness's of Kinetics, Tigers and Drains can be countered with my side deck. My main weakness is my hand size which can be dangerously low and if my opponent plays tribe it could often be game. Tribe is a very annoying cards for warriors. They lose 2 cards from their hand and you lose multiple warriors and 1600 life points.

I think i have shown you now how warriors are probably the fastest and most versatile deck in Yugioh. Even if you play tradtional, try warriors out. If warriors kill you run Kinetics. Warriors need to be run by skilled players (me) [commander cool] because overextending really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really kills you with Tribe or Torrential.

So that wraps up the Kings of Advanced. Tune in Next Week (lol) cos i will be reviewing the Ban List, cos its gonna get changed in a month or 2!
