Subject: What skill drain has to offer - Tasker

What skill drain gas to offer - Tasker

Hey Pojo fans im fairly new to writing tips but not to the game of Yugioh.

Now i was looking around at my local tournement in england, Yeah im English, and all i saw was Cookie Cutters here there and everywhere. Personally i think if you can't win unless you use the same cards as everyone else, dont play. So anyway i came across this kid who was playing a basic skill drain deck , basic yes but it was holding up pretty good against Andrews cookie cutter so i got to thinking of a way to improve this and came up with this.

Im going to do kinda the same thing that Wicked did on the dark necrofear deck by breakin it down to base and going through why ive put in what ive put in.

Base card: Skill Drain - The heart of the deck , when this thing comes to field say good by to all effects, Dd warrior lady? Dd assailent ? exiled force? Bye bye. we'll be using 3

Okay now onto the monsters, you might find some unusual things in here but i will explain why there there.

Cyber dragon x 2 : WOW. ive just been talkin about me hating cookie cutter cards but the fact is this card is great in this type of deck. Why? you still get his effect because its while its in your hand. some people find it hard to get rid of this guy because he comes out when your resorces have run out, just imagine it when there effects cant work full stop.

Fusilier Dragon, the Dual mode beast x 2: This card was made for Skill drain. i special summon him thanks to his hand effect, he comes onto the field o wait his effect dont work ive just summon a monster with 2800 attack. Bingo i think so.

Goblin Elite Force x 2 : Skill drain down he dont go to defence mode , this combined with something im going to put later will add a nice little thing.

Goblin attack force x2 : not as good as his counter part but just as effective.

Zombyra of the Dark x 2: again another good little card that can do some damage

Okay so thats 10 powerful monster to take advantage off but i think we should get more tech, some people believe that just because its a skill drain deck they should have cards that can pile through because they think that skill drain is going to be on the field all the time. this is not the case so i will in corprate something different in.

Cyber jar: Niffty little thing this is. flip draw summon i might get powerful cards straight onto the field giving advantage to me. worth it ? yep

Mask of darkness x 2 : Back for Skill drain mostly but you can fetch back anything you want

D.D Warrior lady: You are probably think wait, skill drain why put her in waste of space right? wrong she is to be used when you find that your plan isnt going to plan, she is back up you can say

Breaker the magical warrior: Agian same as Dd warrior lady you need back up

Mystic swordsman Level 2: This guy is there for when you no that something face down is about to screw you left to right,i no skill drain stops flip effects hes here to keep control of that.

So Thats the monster line up now onto the spells

Dark Hole : basic monster removal , also stapled

Mystical space typhoon: Quick play , m/t removal stapled

Smashing ground x 3 : monster removal , stapled

Noble man of cross out : remove face down that could cause you alot of trouble also stapled

Warrior returning alive: we have plenty of warrior in here to use this card, if your going for a win and dont have any monsters strong enough use this to get the card you want, there is also enough warriors to run these

Reinforcements of the army x 2: this deck lacks speed and searchablity so these should speed things up abit.

Premature burial: return monster back, stapled

Scape goat: sticky situation , these help out

Snatch and steal: just incase you plan isnt going to well or you need that little bit more to finsh off you opponent but youve use your summon up .

Swords of revealing light: just incase stapled

Mystic wok x 2: with all the life points youll loose activating and re-activating skill drain you need more life points lucky enough you have loads of monsters over 2000 attack so that should be effective, also it stops cards like brain control snatch steal and over stuff.

Now onto the trap cards

Skill drain x 3: heart of the deck usless without it

Final attack orders x 2 : this makes goblins and all your other monsters more effective iwth your opponents monsters in attack mode , more damage for you troubles ?

Light of intervention: old school but your think why put it in with the effect monsters in? because its back up you dont want flip effects getting the better of you, plus ive only added one so our flip effect are ok because well use them when this isnt on the field.

Dust tornado x 2 : For those pesky sacs and bottomless 's that people are playing alot of now adays
call of the haunted: bring a monster back
theres the deck , hope you like , if you have any questions , ideas or complaints my address is at the end
