Tebezu on
YuGiOh
I
recently received cards from Joel Simoes
and Andrew Marx. I thank you for your
contribution.
In
life some things we just refuse to
believe. Is the world coming to an end,
is the sun going to implode, is
pollution really hurting the
environment? All great things to ponder
but until they happen to us first hand
we probably will not worry. Cause in
all actuality what do we have to worry
about?
Cory
Crooks was one of the brave few that I
met at the Columbus regional. Anyone
who is willing to throw out the idea of
conformity and go against the norm is a
winner in my book. Even better to see
someone be successful with such a bold
move. Having gone undefeated until
meeting me, he ended up placing 38 out
of 248 people. Upon completing our game
I had asked him to send me an e-mail
regarding a deck list with the pro's and
cons of his deck. I received this...
-Hey,
this is Cory you wanted me to send you
my deck list from the tourney so
here it is Tribs:5 2x Zaborg the thunder monarch 2x Mobius the frost monarch 1x Thestalos the firestorm monarch Mons:15 2x exiled force  2x d.d. scout plane 2x banisher of the radiance 3x d.d. survivor 1x d.d. warrior lady 1x d.d. assailant 1x breaker the magical warrior 1x mystic swordsman lv2 1x skelengle 1x dark mimic lv1 Magics:12 2x reinforcement of the army 2x dimensional fissure 2x smashing ground 1x brain control 1x confiscation 1x mystical space typhoon 1x graceful charity 1x swords of revealing light 1x heavy storm Traps:9 2x macro cosmos 2x solemn judgment 2x sakuretsu armor 1x torrential tribute 1x return from the different dimension 1x ring of destruction tot:41 the pros of this deck - The d.d. survivors and d.d. scouts give a big advantage to me if I have macro cosmos, dimensional fissure, or banisher of the radiance because the monsters will come back giving me plenty of monsters to tribute and do other things with. - Stops most graveyard dependent effects of monsters the cons of this deck - you have to get one of the remover cards early and keep it on the field in order to keep ahead of the game - destroyer cards like mobius, breaker and even jinzo or decree slows the deck down more than others. that's all I can really think of besides the king tiger hurts me alot :P If you have any ideas for what you think I should do with the side deck plz let me know.
This
deck hurts someone who is unprepared.
Imagine my surprise to see my Ninja and
all my Graveyard dependant monsters
become pointless. But despite his decks
great showing, like all decks it can be
better.
First
up on the list, some obvious changes
need to be made.
........................................................................................
Lets
drop some cards,
2x Mobius the frost monarch  n
mobius. Thus I'd side both mobius.
This will help with the tribute
issue/hand issue. As with the current
monarch decks "dominating" the format,
excessive tributes tend to force poor
opening hands. The opening hand is more
or less the deciding factor of who
wins. We want to minimize combo
orientated cards. The reason I think
Firestorm (and Zaborg) are better is
because their effects will always be
useful. In my game against Cory, he
summoned a Mobius on me and I flipped
both Bottomless Trap Hole and
Scapegoat. Chain ables are becoming the
norm.
2x
D.D. Scout Plane
In
reality, the scout plane engine never
worked for me. Scout plane is an ok
card, but unless you have the other
cards on the field (Dimensional
Fissure or Macro Cosmos) it becomes a
dead card. Thus to help you with
consistency issue/hands I think dropping
all but two choice monarchs and this
monster will be a good move.
2x banisher of the radiance
this
probably should be at 3 as a result of
survivor. Dimensional Fissure and Macro
Cosmos will always be minus ones without
Survivor on the field (under normal
circumstances). Banisher of the
Radiance accomplishes the same thing and
works in respect of Survivors effect.
2x Dekoichi
In
his e-mail Cory made it a point to say
he wished Skelengel and Dark mimic lv. 1
were Dekoichi. Thus they should be in
the best of circumstances.
1x macro cosmos
I'd
drop one of them. As stated numerous
other times, we run tech cards as tech.
Unless we use the Helios monsters, Macro
is just a game changing trap. But in a
winning situation it will be a bad top
deck.
1x return from the different dimension
I
know people will be yelling WHY? But
believe it or not, this deck is not
capable of supporting return. The only
monsters on our side of the field we
want removed will be D.D. Survivors.
Thus using a return to get them back
makes no true sense. D.D. Assailant and
D.D. Warrior Lady, maybe a bottomless
trap holed Breaker or Monarch will be
out of play. But overall such
circumstantial situations do not merit
its use. Besides, we need Mirror Force
in this deck.
I
noticed the lack of Spirit Reaper in
this deck. Spirit Reaper is one of the
best monsters ever made. With the
ability to stall, force quick two for
ones, and simply said be a menace.
I
also noticed that this deck lacked
Nobleman of Crossout. Upon realizing
what I was playing I side decked into 2x
Dust Tornado, 2x Royal Decree, and my
apprentice search engine. Face down
monsters are a threat.
Cyber
Dragon will help this deck out. He is
easily one of the most aggro orientated
cards made. Macro is about
aggressiveness. You hit, hit, and hit
some more. As Cory did in his first
game against me, he forced me to waste
removal spells on his survivor in order
to have a tribute monster or not to
die. Cyber Dragon will help him early
game, and comeback from late game
moments of loss. I side-decked King
Tiger Wanghu on him as well. A cyber
dragon top deck would of ended that
threat.
I do
not think MST needs to be in the main
deck. Simply because the card is
pointless. We want our opponent to use
their sakuretsu armor and bottomless
trap hole on D.D. Survivor. Thus I will
replace it with another smashing
ground. This will help us in top
decking and clear the way for a faster
game.
thus
the final product is.
(42 cards)
Monsters (21)
3x
D.D. Survivor
3x
Banisher of the Radiance
2x Cyber
Dragon2x Zaborg the thunder monarch 2x Exiled Force 2x Chiron the Mage 2x Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive 1x D.D. Warrior Lady 1x D.D. Assailant  1x Breaker the Magical Warrior 1x Mystic Swordsman lv2
1x Spirit Reaper
Magics (13)
2x Reinfrocement of the Army
3x Dimensional Fissure 3x Smashing Ground 1x Nobleman of Crossout
1x Swords of Revealing Light
1x Confiscation 1x Graceful Charity 1x Heavy Storm Traps (8)
1x Macro Cosmos
2x Solemn Judgment
2x sakuretsu armor 1x Mirror Force
1x Torrential Tribute
1x Ring of Destruction
I have dropped the number of tributes in
order to help opening hands. Chiron the
Mage has been included to make use of
extra Dimensional Fissure. Overall I
think this is a more compact version
that will be capable of making top 8 at
his next event. On a side note...
If you side deck into something else
(maybe strike ninja:P) it would of been
an added surprise. The ability to
surprise is a key to winning
duels. This deck is anti-meta because
the graveyard is the number one tool in
the game right now. It shuts that down.
Good luck to you in future events.
For other who are reading this, learn
from it. The less situational a deck
the better. The more ways it can
interfere with the standard decks the
better.
Given enough insight Cory May be onto
something.
If anyone needs help, wants to talk, or
has a crazy deck let me know.
Until next time
