Yeah I remember those duels we had with Weevil vs Harpie. I really liked your Weevil deck. I was going to duel you a 3rd time. However, I went to face Weevil. lol I am still upset with the drop rate of the cocoon. I have farmed Weevil like tons of times. However, I never get any Cocoon drops. I need them for my Weevil Deck.

That's my only one deck that is "completed" I would say but still I can't reach KoG, stuck on plat3 forever xD I don't have any Vigilance, need Harpie Ground and 3 star demotion aswell. Every top deck there are 1-2 card I need to obtain.. I've spend alot of money already and can't build more than Weevil deck, THAT'S SAD.

So I just started playing this game two weeks ago, so I'm WAY behind. I was able to get to gold 2 with a random deck I created. Just looking for any advice.

Yeah those leo's are hard to get, I know. Haha. I was wrong about Fairy. Doesn't do you more good. +1 Leo -2 riryoku -1 econ Player J suggested something like WOE, MW or Security orb. I recommend one of the first 2. I would even go for Curse of Anubis for a potential turn lock. Maybe add a black pendant for boosting and burning in combination with your storm. Continue..

Another option is Tornado Bird. Not a beast-W but its effect is great. I played something simular (BBS) and it worked wonders. Destroying cards while refilling your hand to abuse it again. Just my 2cents.

Warrior Dai Grepher Spirit Ryu Golden Apple Ryu Senshi ^ The above come from Flame pack which he is buying like I did! Flame Manipulator Masaki the Legendary Polymerization Flame Swordsman ^ The above come from Joey Starting back or Leveling up Joey. Block Attack De-Spell Banner of Courage ^ The above come from Duel School.

Bascially, Everything I have done is logical! Joey Wheeler starts with a terrible deck. The main trump card which is given by Joey is the Flaming Sword men. Than I started to buy the Flame of Tyrant pack. As I bought them, I saw Ryu Senshi as a very nice Warrior Boss. I than replaced the other crappy cards in Joey deck to add in the Ryu Senshi support which lead to my original deck build.

I than was given 500 gems as gift for new pack which has been released. I was so very excited! I use them to buy the new pack to test. I got Gearfried the Iron Knight. I got the spell for Gearfried the SwordMaster! However, I don't have Gearfried the SwordMaster boss card yet. I than decided to replace Flaming Swordmen stuff for GearFried the SwordMaster stuff.

I am currently in the transition process. My deck right now is a hot mess. I am not upset about it though. I use it for SD still. It will get better!

3. Run at least 2 Worm Bait to easily fulfill Insect Uprising requirement and keeping Arsenal Bug at 2k. The token can alse be used for stuff like Order to Charge and Order to Smash. To avoid Worm Bait's restriction, you could special summon on opponents turn via Pinch Hopper. Gokipon also can be used since its lvl 2 4. Even with the improvement the deck will hardly reach plat unless you're lucky

If you read the card, O.T.C specifically says (except a token) in parenthesis! Illegal advice!

*reposted from a different page*

Not something I normally do but when I saw the Fire Kings & Phoenix come out at once, then learned the FK playstyle, I couldn't resist trying this FIRE themed deck out. The strategy is solid and highly destructive...but it feels like it missing something to keep pace with DLuel Links and, now that I looked them up, it's the other FK cards. Sure, maybe Garunix may be "OP" for DL atm, but the other cards seem like easy plugs. Maybe they'll come with those Fire Formation S/T cards next time, idk.

I originally had Kickfire & the 2 Hazy Flames but they were a bit slow (and Sphynx is glitched), took those out. Now it still feels like it's being held back by not enough power or something. Wanna get 1 more Phoenix & Goka and replace 1 FK Island & Fenghuang but still need some extra pulls for those. Any suggestions here?

Ya, something more aggresive :D And also the lvl 3 fire king might be better replaced with 2nd Phoneix

Ok, dropped Kirin (poor flame unicorn) & 1 FK Island for my 2nd Phoenix (yesh~) and Card of Soul. Been running a bit more solid and how I envision, plus Card of Soul is just a weird one XD. However, once I get the 3rd Goka, thinking about switching up the cards a bit and seeing how it'll do then. (Wild Tornado and some others.)

Anoymous

Noone seems to run anything like this from what I can find, any suggestions?

I really like how well the trap cards synergize with rider and flash, I almost always have a 220-2400 4 star turn 2, and an 1800-1900 turn one with at least 2 traps to support them.

I see where you're coming from but, given your previous explanation, wouldn't Apples be more of a fit for alternate Win Conditions than ATH? I believe a discard outlet like Wonder Balloons would be more fitting for this deck, considering everything said above.

<< Anonymous(Saladfingers)

Player J Reply

Hey! You bring up a great suggestion Saladfingers. Yeah! I think Wonder Balloons could be better than Golden Apples. I was thinking of Golden Apples because it is a normal trap which can work with Diskrider. However, I do like the idea of being able to discard with Wonder Balloons better.

<< Anonymous(Player J)

Player J Reply

Adhesion Trap Hole only lowers 1 monster. Wonder Balloons would lower all opponent's monsters. Yeah! It discards stuff to make Assailant more stronger + makes enemy more weaker. My gosh that is a deadly combo. I like it more than Golden Apples now.

<< Anonymous(Player J)

Saladfingers Reply

Yep, it would be a decent card to add. It does help lighten the load in a pinch. :)

Guys, my only question is should I replace 1 econ with burst stream of destruction or not? I've tried replacing it before and it works like a charm. Still, I want to hear from others' perspective as well.

One more thing, when you reach plat nobody runs black anymore. At least I haven't found one yet. But in silver and gold, that card is really annoying. Unfortunately for them, champion's vigilance says no kek.

Thanks. I will farm for third CV. Also i don't have Wild Tornado. And i wait for third Kaibaman. This deck is strong.

Yeah I believe this is the strongest last gamble deck right now, and bewd has been my ace card since my childhood so this deck will always be my fav. If you don't have WT then don't add it, like I've already said it's not necessary. Anyways good luck with your farming :)

Haha I have that version too. And tbh I've faced it as well. It's so damn annoying when he summoned time wizard. I really hate that card. Whenever I see it, it just pisses me off to no end. You know at first I built that version but then I realized abare ushioni's effect and I was like, this gotta be so damn good lol.

I find this deck hard to use because the condition is too hard to be achieved. You need to drop your lp below 1000. If your opponent is smart, he won't attack you right away, instead he will wait and finish you off in one turn. Unfortunately, I have only one mirror wall, putting in the second will speed things up (let them attack first, then activate mirror wall and pay for it).

<< Anonymous(Noah)

I don't suggest playing this in higher rank. Rookie1-gold5 may be fine, but from plat1 it's too inconsistent and risky.

<< Anonymous(Noah)

Noah Reply

One more thing, the reason I don't use goblin thief in this deck is because it will raise your lp by 500, meaning that if you have at least 500 lp it will rise to 1000 and it won't trigger the skill anymore.

Paramnon

I plan to create a casual-ish deck, do you think this would work:

2x Garlandolf
2x Ritual of Destruction
1x Dark Necrofear
3x Veil of Darkness
3x Djinn Disserere of Rituals
3x Djinn Prognosticator of Rituals
1x Sonic Bird
1x Senju
1x Doomsday Horror
1x Mirror Wall
1x Windstorm of Etaqua
1x Twister

How it works: Play Veil of Darkness, and whenever you draw a Djinn, activate its effect and draw a card.

Your graveyard will be filled with Djinns and you will draw at least an extra card for each turn. Then you can summon Garlandolf using Djinns (of Senju/Sonic if necessary) and if you do, Garlandolf will be unaffacted by trap cards and whenever it inflicts damage to your opponent, s/he will discard 1 card.

Since Garlandolf destroys all monsters with lower DEF than 2500, he is almost guaranteed to directly attack your opponent first turn resulting >2500 damage + and (-1) for your opponent.

You can also special summon Dark Necrofear since Djinns are DARK fiend-type monsters. And you can use all the banished Djinns to empower Doomsday Horror or bring them back.

Do you think that would work?

Even though, I have told you all of these things. I want you to know that I do think Garlandolf is an awesome Boss monster. I think you can make an awesome deck with Garlandolf. I understand you are thinking of using this deck for casual duels. However, Garlandolf decks have hit King of Games before! They have some very explosive potential. Continue...

The question is will your new idea featuring Veil of Darkness be effective? I haven't seen anyone else use such an idea with Garlandolf. It seems like a creative original idea. Have you done any test with your deck?

<< Anonymous(Player J)

Paramnon Reply

Thank you so much for your advice and no I haven't done any test with this deck because I only have 1 copy of Djinn Prognosticator of rituals and 3 copies of Djinn Disseere, but I am trying to get 2nd copy of Mirror Wall so I will probably get a couple more djinns during the process. So this deck is more like a "side-project" while I am trying to build a main deck.

<< Anonymous(Paramnon)

Paramnon Reply

(continue) And I think -4 can be dodged by never summoning Garlandolf when you do not have adequate amounts of Djinns in your graveyard. You can set Djinns to stall the game for a while since it won't matter if they get destroyed.

1x Talaya, Princess of Cherry Blossoms She is a sexy Flower that is dancing. It is pretty sexy to look at. This is my monster line up. I am feeling pretty good about it. Spells: 1x E.Con I think most people run at least 1 of this card so I figure I run 1 as well. 2x Storm I want to use this card to blow my opponents back row up. I plan to combo it with other cards as well. Continue...

2x Wonder Clover The reason I want to run this card is because it has a Panda bear on it. I mean who doesn't like Panda Bears. In addition, You can attack twice. Seems pretty deadly. That is all the spells I plan to run. I don't know if they are good. However, I am going to try them eventually. Continue...

Traps: 1x Windstorm of Etaqua I think this is a very common card people run. I decided to add it to help for defense. 1x Wild Storm I will use the Storm with this card for the combo. In addition, It can kill spell or traps my opponent might have face up. 2x Plant Food Chain I will use the Storm to combo with this as well. In addition, I can boost any 1 of my plants by 500 attack.

The skill I plan to use is Balance. Yeah! Pretty unusual deck. I think it is unique. Will the deck be good? I don't know! However, if I lose, I will lose with sexy plants. I won't be the one losing with ugly plants. I feel like that makes me a semi-winner.
