fiend deck fix from The Jessenator!



This is Jessenator way back from the Toon Deck FIx..

Standard Fiend Deck Fix..

Hello, pojo readers…

The Phantom of Darkness Premiere was a big hit in most aspects. With the release of the set came Cyber Valley.. which is going to be abused. Giga plant, which is really an Il Blud on steroids, I’m hoping more plant/insect support comes in our way.

The last deck fix I did was on a Toon Deck, which was unique in certain ways.. BUT today’s topic is on Fields! Dark / Fiend monsters have gained a lot of support within the last couple sets, especially with doom shaman I think..

I did not incorporate any PTND cards because I am not 100% familiar with all the rulings, so please give me suggestions… Although I cannot resist putting Hate Buster in..

Effect: When a monster that your opponent controls attacks a fiend monster on your side of the field. Destroy the attacking monster and inflict life points equal to the destroyed monster’s original attack.

One of my friends have just started Yugioh recently so he sent me a fiend deck for me to edit:: Well, lets take a look!


Monsters: 26
3x Archfiend Soldiers
3x Goblin Elite Attack Force
3x Slate Warrior
3x Newdoria
2x Exiled Force
2x Summoned Skull
1x Mask of Darkness
1x Magican of Faith
1x Night Assailant
1x Sangan
1x Spirit Reaper
1x DD Warrior Lady
1x Breaker, the Magical Warrior
1x Dark Necrofear
1x Dark Ruler Ha Des
1x Jinzo

Spells: 14
1x Book of Moon
1x Brain Control
3x Hammer Shot
1x Heavy Storm
1x Lightning Vortex
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Nobleman of Crossout
1x Premature Burial
1x Scapegoat
1x Smashing Ground
1x Swords of Revealing Light
1x Tribute to The Doomed

Traps: 9
3x Bottomless Trap Hole
1x Magic Cylinder
1x Mirror Force
3x Sakuretsu Armor
1x Torrential Tribute

TOTAL::50 cards

Alright.. we need to size this down around 40 right?? For the best drawing effency. So I decided to cut the following cards and for a good reason..

TAKING IT APART! (card should be taken out)

?x Archfiend Soldiers- with all the slates and elite goblin forces, who needs these vanilla monsters. I’ll have to figure out how many I need to cut

1x Dark Necrofear- with all the phoenix wings and raizas floating arounds, this silly thing can be blasted back on top!!

1x Exiled Force- This deck needs to be fast, I know exiled is a useful card but in a fiend deck that needs to constantly summon, a bit of a waste..

1x Jinzo- You definitely need traps here, and there’re more tribute monsters in this deck that can be more useful.

2x Summoned Skull- AHH the classics, but there’re just better tribtes

1-2x Newdoria- This card is just a little slow, but it can be summoned by Mystic Tomato, but since this deck is really aggressive.. mystic tomato is too weak..

1x Mask of Darkness- Don’t need it.. its just a bit too slow w/ the current format

1x Jinzo- Traps work well with this deck, jinzo just kinda messes it up.

1x DD Warrior Lady- Same reason as Exiled Force

3x Hammer Shot- most of your monsters are buff and strong, this mostly would back fire

1x Book of Moon- A GREAT CARD, but you have better options here..

1x Scapegoat- This deck is aggressive, but stall/burn!!

1x Sword of Revealing Light- Same reason as Scapegoats

1x Tribute to the Doomed- Too costly for a monster destruction, A LOT MORE 1-1 removals

2x Bottomless Trap Holes- I will explain this later, you can put better cards that fit today’s format inplaceo of this.. STILL a great card though

1x Magic Cylinder- Don’t need to inflict damage, just 1-1 is good for this deck..

Now we need to put some cards BACK!!
SHOVING IT IN!

1-2x Doom Shaman- GREAT card, basically like an IL BLUD, notice he is a gemini but most unfortunate a spellcaster, so he cannot re-summon another himself.

2x DD Assailants- Provides attack and defense protection against your opponent and it is faster than an exiled Force and Warrior Lady (also idk what else to add lol)

1x Morphing Jar- This card is a MUST for all agro decks… (which is this deck). Also this card can be searched by sangan.

1x Snipe Hunter- This card is very annoying and dangerous, most decks that attacks carry it .. and he’s also a fiend, so why not use it…

2x Cyber Dragon- These are a must for any aggressive decks.. and they do good on swarming the field quickly and taking out beaters..

1x Nobleman of Crossout- This a good card for any agro deck.. getting rid of those facedown effect monsters cannot be easier

1x Fires of Doomsday- It’s a +1 to start with.. and if you activate it at your opponent’s End Phase, then sacrifice for Doom Shaman, or Hades… or just a simple attack blocker

2x Enemy Controller- With the Special Summoning effect of Doom Shaman.. This can be used both ways… a powerful card with only the first effect

2x Hate Buster- AN AWESOME CARD for fiends (an advanced verson of a Sakuretsu Armour)

2x Dust Tornado- I KNOW this is OVERDOING it, BUT! Doom Shaman is an important card in this format.. so you need to get rid of those Macros to keep your monsters in the Grave! Also you want to freely attack without those annoying sakus.. right?

1x Sakuretsu Armour- This can be used anytime instead of a monster attack

1x Deck Devastation Virus- This card can be used with ease with Shaman on the field.. but 1 copy is enough because you don’t have shaman all the time

1x Dark Spiritual Art- Greed – I don’t know how well this card does, but you can give it a try..

SO FINALLIZATION!!- We have!

Monsters
3x Elite Goblin Attack Force
3x Slate Warrior
1x Exiled Force
1x Magician of Faith
1x Night Assilant
1x Sangan
1x Reaper
1x Snipe Hunter
1x Breaker the Magical Warrior
1x Dark Ruler Ha Des
2x Doom Shaman
2x Cyber Dragon
1x Morphing Jar

Spells
1x Brain Control
1x Heavy Storm
1x Lightning Vortex
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
2x Nobleman of Crossout
1x Premature Burial
1x Smashing Ground
1x Fires of Doomsday
2x Enemy Controller

Traps
2x Hate Buster
1x Mirror Force
1x Torrential Tribute
2x Dust Tornado
2x Bottomless Traphole
1x Sakuretsu Armour

I’m not all that familiar with fiends, so I definitely made some mistakes.

Discussion about this deck fix, a general YGO card, trades can be made to me..

I will try to do a deckfix article like this every 1-2 weeks.. so the next deck fix may be yours..
