Any good fiend decks ?

Someone posted a similar deck on Reddit and said they got to KoG with it. They had a 3rd Kuriboh over Dark Mimic and a 2nd Mirror Wall over Windstorm, but it shouldn't make too much of a difference

Update on the Pineapple deck: Rather than center it around Bluff Trap, I switched to Beatdown, but with a Pineapple Control strategy, similar to the old-time Frog-Monarch days. Thoughts?

Duel links is over. I remember first pegasus event and kc cup event, what a hype that was real duel links but now it became "buying more card packs game" and too many unnecessary events, too much decks and stuff. I cant enjoy, im done But thank you duel links they were really good times, i loved you so much. see you in another life kc cup mako rex days.

Lol I don't spent not a single $$$ to build a naturia deck. Just with the free gems I have climbed from Silver 4 to Platinum 1

Can this 'KoMoney' guy stfu already, naturia is literally the cheapest viable deck and would cost someone no money at all.

The thing that has always got on my nerves in this game is that it seems like I'm always playing against the same 3 decks on loop. Like everyone just plays the same thing that's popular all the time. Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually playing against computer. I don't get why people have no interest in making their own good deck. I couldn't stand it if I played an identical deck to mine.

After nearly 60 packs, I finally got 3 Naturia Marrons. Here it is, my Bluff Trap Naturia Plants/Pineapple Express! What do you think?

Why not beat down? Ok the wild tornados with blufftraps, but not in a naturia deck, you need to pull out fast the high level monsters or you end up with low atk monsters and no beaters

They're insects, which kill the Pineapple. Honestly, this build won't be good until bamboo shoot gets released. Just gotta wait, lol

Are toons still a top 3 deck?

Toons were never a top 3 deck, they're too inconsistent

Hi guys!! I need you to fix this very good deck!
It is focused to Gemini fire:
The main idea is to send to the grave the big brothers (Phoenix gearfield and darkstorm dragon) and reborn them with soul resurrection, supervise or the butterfly effect!
To send them to the grave I put the fire knight who send gearfield from the deck, tributed to doomed (fantastic card!) and balloon..
it works pretty well.. I can destroy monsters and spell/trap with darkstorm effect.. but it lacks in consistency..
can you help me?
Thanks bros!

I suggest using last gamble instead of duel standby, since the deck has an OTK potential. I've been using a very similar one in Plat for a while experimenting with different skills, thanks to the non-demotion update when you're tier 1 in the divison. Problem with duel standby is that, your opponent receives the same advantage of drawing one more card, and it doesn't guarantee you a consistent hand

All right! Thanks for your suggestion! You're right about duel stamby! I've tried last gamble skill too, but the problem is when you have not cards to start (maybe you drew the boss monsters, supervise and the soul resurrection).. and you aren't able to resist 5 turns! Maybe I can consider to try restart! What do you think about it?

..Then to improve this deck I would add a poly for raptinus fusion summon, with I can send to the grave Gemini from my hand.. For poly I would leave the iron! What u think about it? Reply please! All!
