Self Destruct Button Deck- Lance

Hello again! Hopefully, you may remember me from my Casual Gravekeeper deck idea from April. Well, I am back again, this time with a much more fun and creative deck. As you read from the title, I will be basing a deck upon Self-Destruct Button. This is a pretty nifty little card, which will cause a lot of frustration and annoyance in your opponent. The idea is simple: create a gap between you and your opponent’s life points in the difference of at least 7000, and simply end the game there. Develop your own little catch phrase to go with it also. Personally, I enjoy “No one goes home a loser today! Self Destruct!” Ah…priceless. Keep in mind, however, this is not a deck based upon winning (duh!). But if you are looking for a unique and creative deck idea that is sure to create a ripple in the current meta-game, feel free to try your hand at this one. So, without further adieu, here is my deck.

Total Deck Size-40

Monsters level 1 to 4-12 (order of attack)



Spirit Reaper x3

Magician of Faith x3

Apprentice Magician x3

A Cat of Ill Omen x3



Spells-14



Level Limit Area B x2

Metamorphosis x2

Upstart Goblin x2

Pot of Greed

Card Destruction

Graceful Charity

Messenger of Peace x3

Swords of Revealing Light

Delinquent Duo



Traps-14



Self-Destruct Button x3

Wall of Revealing Light x3

Curse of Royal x2

Spell Shield Type 8 x3

Solemn Judgment x3



Side Deck



Scapegoat x3

Curse of Royal x1

Snatch Steal

Mask of Darkness x2

Gravity Bind x2

Waboku x3

Chaos Sorcerer x2

Cyber Jar

That is the basic skeleton for the deck. Thinning out your deck is a key factor here: Apprentice Magician, Pot of Greed, Upstart Goblin, and the Cats of Ill Omen will allow you to further weed out your deck for Wall and Self-Destruct. Magician of Faith is there to recycle your drawing and stall power, and as an added bonus, morph into Thousand Eyes Restrict via Metamorphosis.

Both Level Limits, the Walls of Revealing Light, Messenger or Peace, and the Swords will hold your opponent at bay hopefully long enough to pull out Self-Destruct. And with all these continuous cards, you will need protection from the dangers of Dust Tornado, Mystical Space Typhoon, Breaker, Giant Trunade, and Heavy Storm. This is where all the counter traps come into play. Curse of Royal will defend against most forms of magic/trap removal except Heavy Storm, so that’s what Spell Shield Type 8 is to protect against, plus guard Spirit Reaper for free!

Most likely, if you have never played a deck type like this before it will be challenging until you get the hang of it. Do not be surprised to have your entire magic/trap zone full more than one time in the duel. Just remember to always protect your forms of stalling, and always keep a slot open for Self-Destruct.

If you still need help, that’s what the side deck is for. 2 Chaos Sorcerers should be enough to handle Jinzo if you did not have a Solemn Judgment or Level Limit- Area B on the field when he was summoned. If you are feeling lucky, you might want to try Cyber Jar as well. Snatch Steal will help your opponent gain more life points, but it will also clog up your field as well.

And there you have it! If you have any questions, comments, or other form of communication you would like to share with me, email me at MechaDemonSlayer@yahoo.com. See you next time!
