Subject: Beastdown Semi Originality - IgaruKetsuki
Ahh Beastdown, a happy happy deck that has
unfortunately not been doing as well as it maybe
should in recent years. However i am here to end
this! This
deck got me to forth place at my local mini
tournament (i say mini... out of
around 40 i think) and out ranked to former regional
champions, including one that was beaten by it (he
ran darkworld). The thing is until the release
of FET Beasts didnt have much in the way of M/T
control (as in none) , making them a bit... old... a
bit behind the times. What with monarch control
decks, soul control, and warrior tool box being
so... annoyign and controly (not a real word,
dictionary fans) beast decks have been getting
owned. Chiron the mage and sacred phoenix of neptis
have helped this alot, both cards being used in
control and random beatdowns, even in warrior
toolbox. With the reintroduction of graceful phoenx
is easeir to get in first turn to start the phoenix
saga (lol), as in your opponent expending resourses
to try and remove it as soon as they can or take
control of it, or
whatever to kill t so it stays dead. This helps your
hand resource problems in the deck as they kepp
wasting resources on the git. Tree born frog has
greatly helped this deck (target for hand of neptis,
free protection, opponet wastign resources to clear
your field). Upsettignly this deck needs staples,
such as breaker jinzo, and really upsettingly cyber
dragon. I had previosly tried the deck with two
manticores of darknesss instead of jinzo and c
dragon, but whilst you could get one out first turn
with graceful they
sapped your hand and field to get there effects.
Exarrion universe and enraged battle oxes shoudl be
staple in all beast decks, just because of the
trample. And of course dont forget beserk gorilla.
He owns. Anyway now to the deck... its sightly
boring construction but v fun to play.
Monsters:
19 monsters:
Sacred phoenix of neptis (Constant monster on your
turn and good control, bad top deck) Hand of Neptis
Chiron the mage (get rid of unwanted magic cards to
destroy possible thrests
to beatdown)
Pitch black warwolf (Protects from battle phase
traps, such as mirror force,
forcing your opponent to use spells on it)
Beserk gorilla (Beatstick, beats most commonly used
monsters, annoylingy has
to suicide into c dragons etc if theres nothing else
to attack) Exarion universe (A strange one this, can
be used as defence with iths mighty 1900 def or can
be a trampler, also a good beatstick) 2*Enraged
battle ox (These own, they really do and combo with
the above cards very well for trampling fun, also
strong enough to suicide into
assailant)
Support monsters: (This is where it gets boring and
unoriginal as hell) Jinzo (Provides lovely lovely
trap negation supporting your mosnters and stopping
nasty bottomlesses, also provides an alternate for
your opponent to
remove with warrior lady/ assialant instead of
phoenix) Cyber dragon (Ooooh there are so so many
reasons to run this in any deck, but in this deck it
really helps, a free tribute, a free summon, it
helps to
swarm, first turn phoenix, bottomless bait, etc etc.
Comboed with maurauding
captain and you can do stupid amounts of damage
first turn.) Treeborn frog (A must in this deck as
spells and traps dont last long, it also gives you a
free tribute monster, free defence, monster for for
hand of
neptis, etc etc, bloody hell its good)
Sangan (A must in any deck really. In this deck you
can search out tree born, hand of neptis (this
reaally helps as hnad is a really bad top deck when
phoneix is on or removed), maurauding captain,
exiled force, dd lady, mag of faith, so yeah a must)
Maurauding captain (Helps to swarm, makes people
make torrential mistakes, first turn phoenix etc
etc) Exiled force (This is fun and practical, if
theres no tagets for it on your opponents side then
nuke phoenix with it, making life harsh for your
opponent when it comes back, mostly used to nuke
opponent) 2*Magician of faith (These will become
clear v soon) Breaker (M/T destruction) DD warrior
lady and dd assailant (Needed to destroy big
monsters nad of course gay smaller monsters (treeborns
etc)
Magic
Swords (Duh!)
2 nobleman of crossouts (mwhahahahha)
2 smashign grounds (super destructuion yay) Heavy
storm (Needed to stop bottomless etc) MST (ditto)
Graceful charity (you work it out) Snatch (super
synergy) Brain control (ditto) Enemy controller (versility)
Book of moon (stops all manner of nastiness) Pot of
avarice (Really helps again) Scapegoat (hmm...)
Premature burial (Hmm again)
Traps:
3 sakeretsu armours (field clearage)
Mirror force (the aboves daddy)
Call of the haunted (super combos)
Bottomless trap hole (Much needed defence) Zero
gravity!!!! (So many uses, anti sakuretsu armour,
anti mirror force, anti scapes, anti loads) So yeah
thats me deck its reet good i tell thee and as
previosly said before
can hold its own, also lucozde (Glucorade, high
enrgy drinks etc) is needed to use this deck lol.
Have fun peeps.
