Subject: Phoenix, Horus deck - Leroy


Ok. Like most people, I used to run a chaos deck back in the day. Not to brag, but I have taken first place in several local tournaments with this deck. So as you all could imagine, I was totally devastated when the new ban list came out. No more BLS, Painful Choice, Graceful, ect. The main staples of any chaos deck that is worth playing. Due to this drawback I taken some time away from the tourneys to work on new deck ideas, but I plan on entering the next oneon the 21st at the avalon manga shop in my area. Of the many decks that I've been experimenting with lately there is one that really seems to fit my style, and to be honest it actually plays out pretty well. However, before I go out and pay a tournament entry fee I wanted to get some opinions on the deck. It is a Horus/Phoenix deck. Lets just call it "Birds Of A Feather" for now.(Yeah, I know it's kind of corny). Well, anyways without further adou, My fire bird deck.

Now lets break this down. First of all, the main strategy of this deck is to quickly over power my opponent with either my horusus, phenix or both which actually happens verry often. In fact, I havent had a duel yet where atleast one of them hasn't come out. Thanks to hand of nephthys I can summon phoenix from my deck by offering one other creature (ie. scapegoat) and itself. Or you could always just use one of your opponents monsters as a tribute with snatch or brain control. Once the phoenix is released, this usually immediately turns the duel in your favor. Sangan is here to search cards like hand of nephthys, mof, solar flares ect. Ufo turtle serves the same purpose. Because of the fire theme I run 2 molten destructions which provides a nice little power boodt for all fire monsters. This makes my horus lv4 a competitive 2100 attacker and enables him to take out almost any monster your opponent will probally have on the field and bringing out your lv6. One more monster to destroy and you can bring out your lv8. This should not be hard to do since your opponont won't be able to stop your lv6 with any spells(dark hole, hammer shot, ect) Once lv8 comes out, you pretty much are running the show now and your opponent will almost always retreat to defense.( Maybe I should side a couple of tramplers) This deck uses burn, swarm, and beatdown techinques with out quickly depleting your hand. My field test record so far with this deck is 17 wins and 2 losses (starting off drawing lv6, lv8, and phoenix. What luck huh? LOL)
