Field Control Insect Deck - Declan

 

I have long held a little obsession for the insect cards in Yugioh! and eventually got around to making a deck around the little fellows. Here it is in a nutshell.

 

Monsters: 20

 

2x Doom Dozer

3x Swarm of Scarabs

3x Medusa Worm

3x Swarm of Locusts

3x Des Lacooda

3x Howling Insect

3x Stealth Bird

 

Magics: 12

 

1x Level Limit Area B

1x Swords of Revealing Light

2x Nightmare Steelcage

3x Messenger of Peace

3x Card Trader

1x Heavy Storm

1x Pot of Avarice

 

Traps: 8

 

2x Pulling the Rug

2x Magic Jammer

1x Gravity Bind

3x Threatening Roar

 

On the Monsters:

 

Right so, the general idea is to get Swarm of Locusts/Swarm of Scarabs or Medusa Worm on the field so that I can destroy a Monster and Trap/Magic per turn. Des Lacooda lets you draw into important cards and gives you more options for Card Trader. Stealth Bird is there for pure psychological reasons, opponents normally try to get rid of it instead of the bugs. Howling Insect is in for a bit of speed. Swarm of Locusts would normally be its search target as I don't normally attack with this deck until the back row is empty.

Doom dozer is there for a Heavy Storm finish(Assuming that the Scarabs and Worms have cleared out the defence)

 

On the Spells: As many things to lock the battle phase for my opponent as possible. Card Trader for replacing dead cards with new ones. Pot of Avarice is there in case I get hit by something like Torrential.

 

On the Traps: Ideally I would have Solemn Judgements in here instead of Pulling the Rug but I don't own any at the moment. Magic Jammer to stop Storm instead of Dark Bribe because I will normally have quite a large hand. Threatening Roar as a chainable to a Storm or Mobius if I don't have the counters set up.

 

This deck is quite hard to deal with as many cards just don't do anything against it. Plasma can be troublesome but so few people seem to like him.

 

Well thanks for reading this, if you want to fix it up or tear it apart completely feel free.
