KC Cup: 1st Stage (Feb 2019)

A comment from OMG2L84U:
Basically, a Hero deck with soul exchange ane e-cons for AG and Maximus.
MVP is the Destiny Draw skill who let me get either zaborg for big soul exchange play or a witch raider in the opponent turn to destroy all backrow on their turn with the Escalation of Monarch. Wish I had a 3rd anki to play the 3rd mask change and a masked hero Dian would of been amazing but I just started to play so it isn't optimized but really fun to play with.

A comment from d(~.~)b:
This deck was thrown together in like 5 mins and was never touched again during the entire KC cup climb, it's a mess, but it just works.

As you can see this the typical Noble Knight Balance deck, just tweaked to take as much advantage of Drystan's effects as possible, sacrificing defensive backrow to be as disruptive as possible (by interrupting your opponent's key plays.), it completely stops every deck in it's tracks with the exception of Koaki(if you go first and get slapped with a trunade) and Masked Heros (if you go second -> because Canadia).

Strenghts:

• Likes to go first
• Doesn't give a damn about backrow
• Extremely consistent
• Double Drystan lockdown (if they get hit by a WoD, reffer to point #2)
  Weaknesses:
• Canadia/Floodgate: if you go 2nd, get hit by one of these and have no comeback plays in your hand, just bail out, if it's later into the game it's generally not a problem)
• Backrow Banish, mostly noticeable against Blue Eyes decks, just blow your Noble Arms before it gets banished.
• Going 2nd (reffer to point #1)

A comment from Lovely Aster:
Note: Silent Swordsman with Amazoness helped me a lot against AG and Koaki Meiru. Even if you have to risk suiciding into lv. 7, it is worth it to shut down spells like iron core, AG fortress, mask change, etc. Amazoness swordswoman is everything.

Basically, battle phase are almost all gone here except for drowing mirror force in case of an emergency brick situation that could happen with all of the tribute and special summon monsters here. I included as many paleozoic as I could just to make getting the queen out easier. And some people still fail to understand that lv. 7 stops ALL spells. As long as you are careful, this deck is a lot of fun!

A comment from Heartfilia:

Easy claps against AG, just ignored when they used Geartown & Fortress, that the point to negate with Silent Magician is the destroyer spell (Galaxy Cyclone & Double Cyclone). if they used the 2nd destroyer spell, you just make Chain Link with Fate or SB organization, so Geartown will Miss Timing. Good Luck :)

A comment from ItsWee:
Basically, this is a great anti-meta deck right now. The most common decks that are used nowadays are Ancient Gear, Vampire, Koa'ki, and Destiny Hero. For Ancient Gear, use silent to negate stuff like twister or double cyclone. Then, use Spellbook of Fate to banish Reactor Dragon.

With Vampire, negate Kingdom, and banish Grace and or Vamp. For Koa'ki, negate Iron Core and banish Maximus. Finally, negate Mask Change and banish whatever but especially Anki. Hope this helps everyone, you don't really need Draining Mirror Force, you can replace that with any trap or card you like I suggest Limit Reverse.

A comment from oKatsapliaS:

• Vs Geartown Turbo
  Avoid setting Magical Merchant. 95% they will start with Wyvern and u will waste your effect cause it wont get activated. Set Carrot/Rose/Spore. Try using Komush's effect on AGC of Crowler's skill. Try Synchro Giganticastle .Even with Pulse Mines With 3k Def and removed AGC Dragons or Golem cant kill it. Be patient till u get the Combo

• Vs AGFBeatdown
  U wanna Set Komush and pray to get on excavate a Spore/Carrot. U will Special BRDragon using Spore's effect on mushroom+ Carrot and that will do most of times. Most of those players go full yolo otk and if u survive that turn 50% u can turn the game since they have 0 cards at hand.

• Vs Koakis
  Just be Second (it doesnt matter anyway xD)

Overall deck needs 2 Spores imo +1 Peaskeeper -1 M.Merchant with the current insane AG/Koaki meta
Just a quickie guide hope u will try it :D

A comment from Alex:
It's a pretty standard U.A. deck, inclusive of 2 e.c. and anubis either to steal opponent mosters or resist until the right moment to summon. Beatdown was really necessary to beat Mech decks.

A comment from Mut:
Note: Because I don't have Gozuki, so I use 3 Simultaneous Loss (SL) instead of Gozuki. It:s tricky, while you have the Vampire Kingdom on your field, you can use SL to destroy 1 card your opponent control in your opponents turn. And you can use this chain combo, active SL first and active Vampire Takeover.

A comment from V M Z:
Vampires, standard version. Most important thing is to know what opponent may use against you so try to read his moves ahead. If you have a good hand and a little bit of luck, you can beat any deck including the tier 1 OTK decks.

So far so good had about 90 % of win rate. If you can try to use bandit so you can steal his trap/spell set card sometimes it helped me. Recently I was playing against a yubel deck. Used the skill, stole his Canadia, used enemy controller stole his yubel monster and tributed it for my vampire. During the opponent stand by phase, he summoned Phoenix so I used his Canadia and then i won the duel next turn.
Practice, practice, and practice! Feel free to use this deck in PVP as well,i reached legend today and it has KOG potential. Cheers and good luck.

A comment from Downtown:
As you might see, I play for less then a month so the deck, while vampire themed, is basicly the best cards I have so far (F2P only).

A comment from Akashiro:

Third time I use this same deck to get through first stage. Its completely FTP and consistent.
Try to get your Terror Incarnate + Phoenix combo as soon as possible.

It does ok against Koa'ki Meirus if you get a good start (and they don't get a 6 in Last Gamble (!)).
You pretty much lose against U.A. and Stardust (or too many opportunistic Canadias). But it does great against Ancient Gears, Masked HERO, Amazoness and Blue-Eyes.

I would change Powerful Rebirth for Limit Reverse if I had one, but I barely touched that pack.
Its possible to use a Enemy Controller or a Calculator too, but I couldn't make it work.
