MSP's Deck Articles. Article #1, Ocean decks From: PoeticKuja@aol.com I've done a lot of research in the current metagame and I have made about...13 decks about which ones could be very good. A lot no one has ever really though of. Any ways. I will do 3-4 at a time so you know it won't be "Article #13, -insert deck name here- Any ways the first 4 decks I will go over are 2 Variants of "A Legendary Ocean" decks Grave Keepers Dark Magician First we'll go over the Ocean Variants.

Raigeki Break Fusion Deck 1. Thousand Eyes Restrict 2. Dark Balter the Terrible 3. Dark Flare Soldier 4. Dark Blade the Dragon Knight 5. Mokey Mokey King You're wondering why I put a lot of weird cards in there, I.E., Bottomless Trap Hole, and in my side deck 2 Raigeki Breaks, Mirage and Emergency. Here are the explanations Bottomless Trap Hole - Get rid of Tribe-Infecting Virus or Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning Raigeki Breaks - One of the best removal cards in Limited. Mirage of Nightmare - Duh Emergency Provisions - Gets rid of Mirage, and life gain. You'll be seeing a lot of those in my main or side deck This deck is pretty simple, search, destroy, if you get destroyed Salvage your monsters. =) Abyss Soldiers are a staple for this deck because they're too good to pass up with Salvage, I couldn't really find a place for Fiber Jar so I side boarded it.

Dark Blade the Dragon Knight 5. Mokey Mokey King I seriously love this deck, it has so much control and destruction it. This deck usually beats my main deck 3/5, I had to have Fiber in this deck because it's a staple, no room for Grizzly's, none needed really. I had the Angler is just incase Ocean isn't out for Levia, the side deck gives it some speed and life gain. Any ways on to the next deck, Dark Magician Monsters 1.

Miracle Restoration 14. Miracle Restoration 15. Miracle Restoration Fusion Deck 1. Thousand Eyes Restrict 2. Dark Balter the Terrible 3. Dark Flare Soldier 4. Dark Blade the Dragon Knight 5. Mokey Mokey King This deck is all about speed and power, a lot of S/T removal, a lot of field control. This deck is awesome, I am working on a Dark Magician Knight deck but they suck too bad. XD Uh, not much else to say about this deck, takes a lot of skill to use though. It'll be much faster when Dark Magic Curtain comes out. The side deck helps you get out Dark Magicians a LITTLE faster, and lets you revive more of them with the Gearfried+Dagger combo with Miracle Restoration. Lastly is the straight forward Grave Keepers, I have no real reason to explain how the deck works, every one knows. XD Monsters 1. Breaker the Magical Warrior 2. Tribe Infecting Virus 3. Sinister Serpent 4. Grave Keeper Chief 5. Grave Keeper Chief 6. Mystic Tomato 7. Mystic Tomato 8. Mystic Tomato 9. Grave Keeper Spear Soldier 10. Grave Keeper Spear Soldier 11.
