Subject: Cyber Blader Lock Deck





Today, I will be making a Cyber Blader Lock Deck. I will shut down my opponent and burning them. When I say shut down, I mean compltely shut down. I clear my opponent's field, use Ojama Trio and Spatial Collapse, and Summon Cyber Blader. Once they are in my lock, they won't be able to play anything at all.

Let's start with the monsters.

The main card in this deck is Cyber Blader, so I will obviously max out on it.

Stats: Warrior/Fusion/Effect LV7 ATK/2100 DEF/800
Description: "Etoile Cyber" + "Blade Skater"
A Fusion Summon of this card can only be conducted with the above Fusion Material Monsters. While your opponent controls only 1 monster, this card is not destroyed as a result of battle. While your opponent controls only 2 monsters, double the ATK of this card. While your opponent controls only 3 monsters, this card negates the effects of your opponent's Spell, Trap, and Effect Monster Cards.


I will have to include its Fusion Material Monsters as well, I'll go with two of each.

Etoile Cyber
Stats: Warrior/Effect LV4 ATK/1200 DEF/1600
Description: If this card attacks your opponent's Life Points directly, increase the ATK of this card by 500 points during the Damage Step only.

Blade Skater
Stats: Warrior LV4 ATK/1400 DEF/1500
Description: An image of beauty on the ice, this gorgeous warrior rips her opponents into pieces with her stylish Accel Slicer attack.


I have to clear my opponent's monster cards to use the combo effectively, so I'll use some removal. Of course, I'll use Exiled Force. It has so much power, but because of that, it is limited to one, so I can only use one.

Stats: Warrior/Effect Level 4 ATK/1000 DEF/1000
Description: Offer face-up this card on your side of the field as a Tribute to destory 1 monster on the field. If this card is used for a Tribute Summon or this card is offered as a Tribute due to other cards' effects, this cards' effect is not activated.


Exiled Force alone won't cut it. What else could I use? Well, if you look at the contents of this deck, it has a dancing theme. Why not try Cyber Gymnast? This card doesn't have nearly as much power, but it's worth a shot. I'll use two of them.

Stats: Warrior/Effect LV4 ATK/800 DEF/1800
Description: Once per turn, by discarding 1 card from your hand, destroy 1 face-up Attack Position monster on your opponent's side of the field.


So far, that's seven of my 20 monster slots used up. Now, since this deck is a loc, but it requires monsters on my opponent's side of the field to work (Ojama Tokens), I'll need to think of another way to damage my opponent's lifepoints. Out of the cards that I have seen, Ebon Magician Curran, Stealth Bird, and Solar Flare Dragon seem to be solid choices.

Ebon Magician Curran
Stats: Spellcaster/Effect LV2 ATK/1200 DEF/0
Description: During your Standby Phase, inflict 300 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points for each mosnter on your opponent's side of the field.

Stealth Bird
Stats: Winged Beast/Effect Level 3 ATK/700 DEF/1700
Description: You can flip this card into face-down Defense Position once per turn during your Main Phase. When this card is Flip Summoned successfully, inflict 1000 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points.

Solar Flare Dragon
Stats: Pyro/Effect Level 4 ATK/1500 DEF1000
Description: This card cannot be attacked if there is another Pyro-Type monster on your side of the field. This card inflicts 500 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points during the End Phase of your turn.


Let's look at these three. Solar Flare dragon will inflict 500 points of damage to your opponent each turn. If you are able to flip summon Stealth Bird every turn, it does 1000 points of damge. It also has a solid Defense. Ebon Magician Curran inflicts 300 points of damage for every monster he/she controls per turn. Since the Ojamas will be on their field, that will be three monsters, making it 900 points per turn.

I'll run three Stealth Birds, and two Ebon Magician Currans. Sorry, Solar Flare Dragon, but in this deck, Curran beats you.

Cyber Blader is an Earth fusion monster. Guess what goes well with earth fusions. That's right, The Earth-Hex Sealed Fusion.

Stats: Rock/Effect Level 3 ATK/1000 DEF/1600
Description: You can substitute this card for any 1 Fusion-Material Monster. When you do this, the other Fusion-Material Monster(s) must be the correct one(s). Tribute Fusion-Material Monsters on the field, including this card, to Special Summon 1 LIGHT Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck.

Many people think that this card won't work with Cyber Blader, but it actually will. Note how Cyber Blader says "A Fusion Summon of this card can only be conducted with the above Fusion Material Monsters."
With Hex-Sealed Fusions, we special summon monsters, not fusion summon them. Therefore, the Earth will work. I'll run two of those.

With the six remaining spaces, I'll look at the generic monsters for most decks: Mobius the Frost Monarch, Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, Breaker the Magical Warrior, and Cyber Dragon.

Mobius the Frost Monarch
Stats: Aqua/Effect Level 6 ATK/2400 DEF/1000
Description: When this card is Tribute Summoned successfully, you can destroy up to 2 Spell or Trap Cards on the field.

Zaborg the Thunder Monarch
Stats: Thunder/Effect Level 5 ATK/2400 DEF/1000
Description: When this card is Tribute Summoned successfully, destroy 1 monster on the field.

Breaker the Magical Warrior
Stats: Spellcaster/Effect Level 4 ATK/1600 DEF/1000
Description: Whent his card is Normal Summoned, put 1 Spell Counter on it (max.1). Increase the ATK of this card by 300 points for each Spell Counter on this card. By removing 1 Spell Counter.

Cyber Dragon
Stats: Machine/Effect LV5 ATK/2100 DEF/1600
Description: If there is a monster on your opponent's side of the field and there are no monsters on your side of the field, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.


This deck needs monster removal, so we'll use Zaborgs. I'll only need two in this deck.

Cyber Dragon can pull me through hard positions, plus they fuse into more powerful monsters. I'll run two of them, as well.

Breaker the Magical warrior can be a 1900 attacker, or remove a spell or trap on the field and become 1600 attacker. It is limited, so I can only use one.

I have one space left, and one "staple" left. Mobius can remove spell and traps on the field, which can harm my combo. I have one space left, so I'll only run one.

After all that, here is my monster lineup, not counting the Fusions:

Etoile Cyber

Now, lets start the magic lineup.

This deck is based on a fusion, so we need ways to fuse.
I can think of three right off the bat, but I won't even consider Fusion Gate.
Now we have Future Fusion, and Polymerization left to choose from.

I dont have an exact translation of Future Fusion, but I will say that its effect is something like this:
Future Fusion
Continuous Spell
Send fusion material monsters written on a fusion card in your fusion deck from your deck to the graveyard. Two Standby Phases after this card is activated, special summon the selected fusion monster to your side of the field. If this card is destroyed, destroy the fusion monster and vice-versa.

Polymerization
Stats: Spell Card
Description: Send fusion Material Monsters that are listed by a Fusion Monster Card from your hand or your side of the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon the Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck.


I'll run one Future Fusion, and two Polymerizations (for speed purposes).

If you haven't noticed yet, this deck is full of warriors, so I'll run some warrior support. What first comes to mind is Reinforcements of the Army, and the Warrior Returning Alive.

Reinforcement of the Army
Stats: Spell Card
Translation: Move 1 Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from your Deck to your hand. Your Deck is then shuffled.

Reinforcement of the Army is a very strong tutor, and it is semi-limed, so I can only use two. I will use both of the copies allowed.

For some more spell and trap removal, I'll include one copy of Heavy Strom, Mystical Space Typhoon, and Giant Trunade.

Heavy Storm
Stats: Spell Card
Description: Destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the field.

Mystical Space Typhoon
Stats: Spell Card
Description: Destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card on the field.

Giant Trunade
Stats: Spell Card
Description: Return all Spell and Trap Cards on the field to the respective owners' hands.


Ground Collapse is a key in this lock, as it helps to stop the opponent from summoning. I'll only include two, as it leads to dead draws.

Description: Select 2 Monster Card Zones on the field (you select a zone occupied by a Monster Card). The selected zones cannot be used as long as this card remains face-up on the field.

Wave-Motion Cannon helps with the burn theme. I'll include one, and side a couple.

Stats: Spell Card
Description: Send this card on the field to the Graveyard during your Main Phase. Inflict damage to your opponent's Life Points equal to the number of your Standby Phases that have passed after this card's activation x 1000 points.


Magical Mallet helps get the cards I need, so I'll run two.

Stats: Spell Card
Description: Choose any number of cards from your hand and shuffle them into your deck. After, draw the same number of cards shuffled in.

Snatch Steal and Graceful Charity are both very important in most decks, so I'll run one of each.

The spell lineup is as follows:

Future Fusion
Polymerization
Polymerization
Reinforcment of the Army
Reinforcment of the Army
Heavy Storm
Mystical Space Typhoon
Giant Trunade
Ground Collapse
Ground Collapse
Wave-Motion Cannon
Magical Mallet

Graceful Charity


Let's look at the traps.

Ojama Trio is needed, as it is essential to the combo, so I'll run three.

Stats: Trap Card
Description: Special Summon 3 "Ojama Tokens" (Beast-Type/LIGHT/2 stars/ATK 0/DEF 1000) in Defense Position on your opponent's side of the field. The tokens cannot be Tributed for a Tribute Summon. When an "Ojama Token" is destroyed, the controller takes 300 points of damage.

Mirror Force and Call of the Haunted are essential to almost any deck.

Traps are:
Ojama Trio

Call of the Haunted
