Give suggestions to make a better insect deck | Deck Advice - YuGiOh! Duel Links

Player J

I have a Insect Uprising deck which I think will be extremely awesome!

However, It isn't finished yet.
I haven't collected all the cards.
It is still missing several cards.
I can give you suggestion based on what I think + what I have.

You are free to listen or ignore etc.

I like Grasschopper.
I decided to have 2 copies in my deck.
Your deck has 1 + the other boss insect.

I think your boss monsters are fine.
I simply chose 2 Chopper as a matter of personal taste!

-Next
My deck uses 1x Ladybug.
We have same idea.

-Next
My deck uses 2x Hopper.
Your deck uses 3x Hopper

I decided to replace 1 of the Hoppers because I felt like it was to much.

Hopper has weak stats.
In addition, We only have 2 Boss monsters.
The 3rd copy felt unnecessary.

-Next My deck uses 1x Arsenal Bug.
Your deck uses 3x Arsenal Bug.

I decided to replace 2 copies.
The reason why is because I think my dueling opponents are simply to smart!

Every time I had Arsenal bug on the field with another monster.

My opponent would always 🔥 the other monster first.

Than my Arsenal would only be 1k.
The only time I found his effect useful was when it was my turn.

When I was attacking my opponent, Than I was able to use his 2k attack.

The rest of the time my opponent was smart & played around it.

For these reasons, I decided to drop him to only 1 copy.

I felt like he was situational.
I think 1 copy is good enough to bring him out at a key point in a match.

-Next My deck uses 2x Gokipon.
Your deck uses 3x Gokipon.

Gokipon is a very powerful searching monster!

You can search dozens of cards in our deck with Gokipon.

In the beginning, I was running 3x Gokipon.

However, I decided to reduce him to 2x.
I will tell you why.

It is because I felt like in high/top level duels against other good decks.

I felt like his effect wasn't being used a lot.

I noticed through different duels that my Gokipon was being killed with out his effect going off!

For example:
Some Gravekeeper Decks which are very popular.

They would bring out Oracle who can 🔥 all set cards.

The majority of the time we have to set Gokipon because he is so weak.

Oracle was able to crush him with out even letting us search a card.

Other top level decks would battle me my Gokipon.

Than after the battle my Gokipon would get banished instead of sent to graveyard because of a monster effect.

I simply found having 3 Gokipon in those match ups very bad.

Gokipon didn't help to his full potential.
I than decided to try and get cards with out relying 100% on Gokipon.
Simply because the some top tier decks make him useless.

Even though a few top tier decks make him useless.

I still felt like having 2x of him was great against other decks.

At least with only 2 copies we are not relying so much on him.

We are giving ourselves a chance to add in another card instead which could help us against the other match ups.

Once you do all the math from my above suggestions.

You will see how I have reduced the above monsters to 8 monster cards.

Which allowed me the chance to have 4 empty slots to fill with other monsters!

The monsters which I added are:
2x Bee List Soldier
2x Big Insect

Now here is the sad part.
The sad part is the 4 monsters I added are not the ones I really want.

If you remember, I said I wasn't collecting all the cards I want yet.

My Goal is to:
-Replace 1x Bee List with 1x Beetron
-Replace 2x Big Insect with 2x Cocoon

The problem is I need Weevil to be level 35 in order to get Beetron.

I also need Weevil to drop the Cocoon of Evolution as a drop!

<< Anonymous(Player J)

Lets say that Weevil is being mean to me.
He isn't given me the drops or hasn't maxed out yet.

I am using this other cards as substitute cards for now.

Big Insect has 1500 defense.
I would love to have Cocoon with 2000 defense.

It is 100% better.
However, I have been unlucky in my farming attempts.

I use the Forest field spell.
I can get him to 1700 defense.
However, I really want to replace.

My goal is to use Big Insect/Cocoon as a wall!

I am trying to establish a wall so I can slowly bring out more monsters.

Than I can use Uprising with the monsters!
Now let me tell you something!

Even though I have 2x Bee list + 2x Big Insect.

I have beat some people with this deck!
The people I beat are good players with meta-decks.

Don't under estimate the power of Weevil!

1. Don't listen to the above "advice". All of it are terrible suggestion.

2. Cut your deck down to 20-21 cards. Cards that i suggest to get rid: Black Pendant, the field spell, Double Summon, Blast Held, and Rising Energy

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

Don't giving an advice like you are spamming, dude..

Player J

@the rock - The advice I gave was honest!
I did it to help you think about different ideas.

The person named "Anonymous" said my advice was terrible.

He than made 4 points.
I want you to know that my advice isn't terrible.
It is merely different ideas.

In addition, I want you to know that the person named "Anonymous" gave you illegal suggestion's!

The play he is suggesting is Illegal!
You can't use Order to Charge on tokens!
If you read the card, O.T.C specifically says (except a token) in parenthesis!

Illegal advice!
