Labyrinth Builder to farm Kaiba Lvl 40

update 30/05/2017

How to use this deck

Building a Labyrinth

Use the skill and special summon Labyrinth Wall when you have a Dimension Gate in your hand, shuffling cards that don't help you with draws into your deck. Once you have labyrinth on the field, and set a dimension gate, activate dimension gate right away on Kaiba's turn to banish your labyrinth, or activate it when Kaiba targets your Labyrinth with his Enemy Controller.

  • If you don't have dimension gate in your hand, use your other draw cards or set A Cat of Ill Omen to get it from your deck.
  • Dimension Gate is used on Labyrinth to protect it from Kaiba's Enemy Controller as well as his D.D. Warrior.
  • Since Kaiba doesn't have any attack increasing cards, his highest attack monster is his Blue-Eyes White Dragon with 3000 attack.
  • With Blue-Eyes unable to break through Labyrinth, enemy controller can't target banished monsters, and the AI not using D.D. Warrior to trigger dimension gate's effect, this setup essentially nullifies all 3 of Kaiba's threats.

The setup

After you have labyrinth on the field, you just need to banish it using Dimension Gate, then keep drawing the cards using Skelengel and Crystal Seer to speed up the process.

  • Make sure to use crystal seer's effect at least once, to make sure that essential cards are not the last card in your deck, by sending ones you don't need to the bottom of the deck.
  • If you don't have any draw cards, then just keep passing the turns.
  • When you have 1 card left in your deck, set your Spell Reclamation (if you use it instead of 2 Union Attack).

Last turn

Make sure that you use Storm first, before summoning your monsters. This is to prevent Kaiba from using his Enemy Controller on you.

  • Use Storm to destroy your dimension gate, as well as all of Kaiba's set spell/trap cards.
  • Use Temple of the Kings and then Double Summon to get your Vassal and fusion monster to the field (through Serket).
  • Secret Pass to the Treasures on to Vassal, and then double union attack, or 1 union + spell reclamation.
  • Equip your BEUD with Dragon Treasure, or any other attack increasing cards that you have.
  • Attack directly with vassal

Problems

  • While this deck does have consistent win rate, there is still a possibility of not getting dimension gate early in the duel, and using Labyrinth without dimension gate will most likely result in a fail due to D.D. Warrior.
  • This deck REQUIRES Dimension Gate, and it is only obtainable during Paradox Brothers' event. There are no other alternatives to the card, and having 3 in the deck increases the chance of getting it early, which is important.
  • Temple of the Kings can sometimes be buggy, and not allow you to special summon a monster, despite having monsters in your extra deck and/or hand. Be sure to check the in-game news if there are any issues still occurring about this, or if it's fixed.

like when I see the word 'farm decks' i imagine poor country workers tilling the fields, hoping that on occasion a rare card will pop up, half dirty with manure, half shiny as if new, such is the process of the farm

Doesn't work anymore. Kaiba now attacks even if Labyrinth Wall is banished with Dimension Gate.

As noted by several comments below, since the last update, Kaiba now applies Twister+ECon combo to destroy your DimGate and switch your Laby into attack position. Here is a deck that performs extremely well with this new AI (for the moment 100% winrate tested on 10 duels). The deck includes 9 cards with drawing effects, to offer both speed and consistency. Some hints to use the deck:

* Early steps: as usual, do not set Laby until you got DimGate in hand. Then try to set ASAP either a second DimGate or a Curse of Royal, to counter a possible Twister+Econ combo. Thanks to the large amount of drawing cards, this should be obtained quickly. After the first Twister, set another DimGate/Curse as Kaiba will play another Twister later

heyo,
i got a problem with d.d.warrior how do i handle him? i protect the wall with dg, but he will just attack directly and finish me turn 3...

same here, i gotta use up my DGs and take direct attacks from d.d.warrior and am defenseless once he comes up with the econs...
all his monsters attack while wall is banned, is that new? 🔥ed up 🔥...

since he doesnt care about ur banished wall he will directly attack with all his monsters, so yo got to have ur wall up on the field. If he now summons d.d. u have to ban wall with DG and either take the direct 1200dmg or if youre lucky u got another monster he will attack and waste 1 of the d.d.
BUT u have to use the DG to dodge d.d. and therefore he will have 2 econ combos and 2 d.d. to get rid

of your wall while u have 3 DGs at best!!
so this deck does not work in most cases except if you can counter 1 econ combo with curse and block both d.d. with DG+another monster, which rarely happens
got 3/10 wins using this, sadly :/

Finally completed stage 58. What was holding me back was 3 consecutive wins against Kaiba at Lvl 40.

That has happened to me many times. I only got one victory by using a similar "Piranha (No Union)" deck w/ Labyrinth Builder skill. After that, the Twister+EC combo has been biting me in the butt. I only have one DG trap card. Is there a way to achieve victory with just one DG trap card?
OIOIO
* Mid steps: once you've got your 3 DimGate/Curse cards, you may relax and use your turns to attack Kaiba's heavy monster with you Crystal/Skelengel/Mimic to reach 1000LP or less. When performing some maths, you may even reach 100LP to get the super bonus assessment.

* Final step: this is a funny one ! First special summon Darkflare Dragon by banishing a Skelengel/Cat pair. Then play WingBeat to destroy Kaiba's backrow and bring your Laby back. Apply Sword/Shield to strength your Laby and weaken Kaiba strong monsters. Then special summon Darkflare again with another Skelengel/Cat pair, and finish with the usual Vassal/Union combo. Note that Secret Path is not needed in the deck, because Sword/Shield will always bring the ATK of at least one monster below 1500ATK, so the 10k damage bonus is guaranteed thanks to the 11500 final ATK of your Vassal. The picture below shows that even in the worst case with only high level monsters on the field, the 10k damage is obtained.

You must have had amazing luck because this deck is certainly not 10/10 consistent. I have tried this deck 3 times, and 2 of them I didn't end up getting a second Gate and I lost.

Thanks for the feedback, MasterEric. However since my first post, I made other tests with this deck, and currently I got 24 wins and 1 loss. Hard to believe that only luck explains such a winrate. I guess you may play something wrong in the first turns. Could you give some details ? Basically the second Gate is only needed when Kaiba gathers 2EC+1Tw or 1EC+1Tw+1DD which usually needs some time.
OIOIO
As presented in the picture below, you can reach an easy 8000 Duel Assessment as soon as you have 2 glossy cards in your deck. When you don't have these glossy cards, you may still get 8000 DA by trying to finish the duel with only 100LP.

Last comment: Magical Mallet may be used in the first turns if your starting hand is really bad. But you may replace Mallet with your own idea. Suggestions welcome...
Huh???
Folks, what are you talking about? Kaiba "twister-ing" Dimension Gate? FYI, I tried battling Kaiba 3x with my good old Kaiba farm deck, and still NOTHING HAPPENED or better, nothing really changed? Were you trolling the people here?

You are wrong, the AI has changed with the last game update, now Kaiba plays Twister on Gate then use ECon to change position of Many and kills you. Even at Lvl30 it plays that combo. Fortunately I got my 3 Econ, 3 BEWD and 3 Vigilance before the AI upgrade. Sorry for the newbies...
