Three-Star Demotion decks

update 30/05/2017

Overview

Using the Paradox Brothers' exclusive drop skill, you can normal summon level 5 ~ 7 monsters without using any tributes at a cost of 2,000 LP. With Double Summon, you can get 2 monsters with high attack in a single turn, and recover some LP back using Supremacy Berry so you can use the skill again.

Paradox Brothers

How to use

Level 7 monsters with no tribute!

Barrel Dragon and Guardian Angel Joan are good options for decks using this skill. If you are cautious about attacking a monster your opponent controls, you can use Barrel Dragon's ability to destroy the monster each turn, then you avoid their flip effects or get Mirror Wall'ed.

Joan will let you recover LP when it destroys a monster by battle. So you can use the skill again much easier.

Non-effect level 7 monsters

Non-effect level 7 monsters can make quite an impact with Champion's Vigilance, the best support card for level 7 or above normal monsters.

Dark Magician also has some exclusive spell cards, like Thousand Knives and Dark Magic Attack, as well as being easily searchable through Legion the Fiend Jester or Blue Dragon Summoner.

Use the skill effectively

Since the skills comes with a hefty cost of 2,000 LP, which is half of the starting LP, it's best to make the best use out of a single activation. Double Summon will let you summon 2 high level and attack monsters in a turn, or you can heal up using Supremacy Berry so you can use it again later and not be at a LP disadvantage.

Protect level 7 monsters

After summoning the monsters, use your spell/trap cards to maintain board control and not let your opponent counter your play. Magic Drain and Magic Jammer will be used to negate spell cards, such as Order to Charge, Enemy Controller, Soul Exchange, and Black Illusion Ritual.

Divine Wrath counters monster's effects like Relinquished, Dream Clown, and Gale Lizard.

Other support cards

Champion's Vigilance is the best counter trap cards if you use non-effect level 7 monsters. It can negate an activation of any spell/trap card and a summon/flip/special summon of a monster.

Interdimensional Matter Transporter is a budget substitue for Magic Drain (UR from Chaotic Compliance), Magic Jammer (UR from The Ultimate Rising), and Divine Wrath (UR from Valkyrie's Rage. When your opponent uses Relinquished, Order to Charge, or Soul Exchange, use this card to evacuate your level 7 monster.

For this skill to work you need to have 1000 or less life points.
How can you decrease your life points in a beneficial way ?
I mean which which easy to obtain cards you can do this, because cosmic cyclone is UR and super hard to obtain.

Solemn Scolding is a great option; I'd go with that if I wanted to mess around with this Skill.

That looks great, but for the price of 3000 life points I was kind of expecting a little more than 1 negate.

Oh well, I don't think I found anything better for now.

I have also been looking for ways to use this skill.

I would like to use other generic cards that gives more benefit than "Solemn Scolding" when you pay as much as 3000 life points.

I used a 3SD deck to climb from Gold 4 to KOG today, I did the Gaia-version of the deck but added my own twist. This deck won 8/10 games all the way through plat 3. What's essential in this deck is the number of win-conditions your deck has. In the above deck you have 2 win-conditions: Barrel Dragon monster removal, and Dark Magician combo with spells + vigilance. I have tried a similar deck but found it not to be as consistent. In the deck below, (my deck) we have 3 win-conditions: Gaia + Vigilance (Gaia is pretty much guaranteed because of GTC), Swift Gaia and then Relinquished. This deck is, as said, very consistent. Feel free to ask me any questions about this deck and the featured cards!
- Also have fun trying this deck ;)

Was thinking of lvl 7 normal monster deck :
3x dark magician
3x REBD
3x blue dragon summoner
1x legion the fiend jester
3x supremacy berry
2x double summon
3x champion's vigilance
2x red-eyes spirit

Viable in pvp ?
If yes, i better start farming ^^

Check my deck out (should be at the top of thread) and give it a try when you get 3SD. For your idea of a red-eyes 3SD, I do suggest you wait until the new pack comes out as it has, even more, support for red-eyes. In your deck I would remove the jester and the dark magicians for some other cards if you do wish to make a REBD-deck, as DM 3SD really is only superb in a DM focused deck with spells

*Ability to change a card with the probability to take it back twice per duel-> nerfed
*Ability to normal sumon a 2 tribute card without tribute in the turn 1 and forever without restrictions but paying 2k lp -> all fine

No skill is ok. Faces this deck several times at Play 1-3 I am probably 2w-18l against this deck. They seem to always have berry and champ vig.

lol... sad that the instance we got rid of the πŸ”₯ switcheroo an even bigger πŸ”₯ got introduced. This skill simply makes any cost-down/special-summon cards irrelevant and it can be used repeatedly and right at the start of the match. If Destiny Draw, a much inferior skill, has such strict use conditions why is this skill so easy to use? What were they thinking?
