Tebezu on
YuGiOh
The
Mist approaches and the night howls. Terrible
fortune awaits all who believe the dark offers
no threat. Red orbs follow you, searching.....
The
ground shakes yet the attack comes from the
sky. A dragon, once forgotten has come to take
back its claim
.......................................
I have
realized that in my short time as a feature
writer I have never written an article on the
dealings of Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon. As far as
monsters and effects go, buy the usual cast of
opinion he is a fierce monster who only tends to
find his way into peoples collections due to his
awesome art. Yet the monster in terms of
playability is far greater than achieving the
win condition offered by FINAL....
While
searching through my e-mails I came across a
deck sent to me by Dan. My self being an
aficionado of un-playable decks, liked Dan's
Take on it. Let me demonstrate...........
Monsters (24)
Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon
Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon Red-Eyes Black Dragon Red-Eyes Black Dragon Red-Eyes Black Dragon Red-Eyes Black Chick Red-Eyes Black Chick Red-Eyes Black Chick Masked Dragon Masked Dragon Masked Dragon Mystic Tomato Mystic Tomato Mystic Tomato Troop Dragon Troop Dragon Troop Dragon Spirit Reaper Spirit Reaper Breaker the Magical Warrior Sangan Spells (13) Inferno Fire Blast Inferno Fire Blast Smashing Ground Smashing Ground Nobleman of Crossout Nobleman of Crossout Pot of Avarice Mystical Space Typhoon Premature Burial Heavy Storm Graceful Charity Brain Control Snatch Steal Traps (6) Call of the Haunted Windstorm of Etaqua Mirror Force Torrential Tribute Dust Tornado Dust Tornado
What we got here is a deck dedicated to the
REDD approach. Massive numbers of battle
searchers which indirectly allow for field
stability, thus protecting hand disruption.
Plus the decks dedicated blend of
traditional search targets and dragon
support allow for a never ending flow of
tribute fodder. Yet the deck just does not
fully fit. The issue at hand is the fact we
are running multiple bad draw scenario. The
deck does take into account the tributes yet
the multiple REB Chicks and the 3 Troop
Dragons are not what I'd call great search
targets. Of course troop dragon will fit
the dragon scenario, but he's just not that
killer of a monster. With low stats and the
predominant issue of drawing into multiples
and masked dragon, the synergy insight
becomes clogged. Thus creating an
anti-synergy state. Thus he must
go...........
Also, masked dragon is a great monster.
Decent stats, lv. 3, and the ability to
replace itself. Yet the poor monsters
downfall comes from not having enough search
targets (kinda like shining angel). Thus I
believe dropping one of these to aid in more
stability is a good decision.
Also, his trap line up makes me hesitant. I
see the dust tornado, but in reality what
good is it in the current format? Lets
think about hitting a return, which presents
no problem due to the numerous battle
searchers. Also, with the increase in royal
decree I ask you all why destroy it? If an
opponent flips a decree to negate mirror
force or sakuretsu armor, in the end it will
only allow you to capitalize in late game.
Won't they feel salty when your Darkness
Dragon swoops onto the field and kills their
chaos sorcerer?? On the note of chaos
sorcerer, the current metagame is being
effected by creature swap. Hmmmmmm, in a
deck running numerous battle searchers
playing in a relatively unstable meta, why
not take advantage of the situation???
Also, with all the zarborgs floating around
and their capacity to hurt your sitting
monsters, I have decided to run a pair of My
Body as a Shield. One of the best all
around forms of monster protection.
One of the last changes made to the deck was
the running of 3 sakuretsu armor's. This
was done because if you think about the
deck, the only monsters that generate
negative effects to it have attacks bellow
1000. Mystic Swordsman lv. 2, spirit
reaper, tsuky lock, etc. (Do not fret Deck
Devastation Virus, because it just seems not
to appear often)
This is the case because the death of our
monsters means nothing in the long run.
Thus we must make sure that they do not hit
our monsters or LP. Mobius generates no
disadvantage because we are running 6 traps
and only 1 spell card (premature burial)
which do not generate immediate results.
Plus a summoned chaos sorcerer or mobius
will more than likely be swapped for a
battle searcher.
Thus without further ado I present you with
DARKNESS APPROACHES

Morphing Jar and Nimble Aid in stability,
swapping, and tribute fodder. The removal
of smashing ground is justified because we
are running soul exchange (which is also a
counter to spirit reaper). Twin-Headed
Behemoth also makes sense do to its status
as a legal dragon search and free tribute
fodder.
Join me next week as I feature my version of
the cyber stein otk. I plan on fusing it
with my last turn variant deck. The results
are one of my favorite splashes and I truly
believe to be the mark of my GENIUS :P.
Until next time, do not follow the Cookie
Cutter. Remember at one time a random main
decked cyber stein was thought to be bad
tech. Guess what it caught on (I used it in
a few regionals early on. Then a team who I
played at one used a stein chaos deck. Now
Europe loves it.) At one time D.D.
Assailant was the must have card, now people
tend not to run it. At one time Return
itself was viewed as disappointing. The
only reason cards fade in and out is because
people play them. To seek change we must
act in a different matter. The unplayable
can be played and the worst concepts
imaginable always have merit.
