: Heaven's Wrath; the Angel's Revenge - Ryan
I want to thank everyone who wrote my about my other articles, so far I've got nothing but support and compliments from people and it really does feel good to be so appreciated. 2nd on my Pyro article I've noticed a mistake...UFO Turtle is not a pyro its a machine ... but its still works great with the deck so play it anyways and stop writing me about it...lol...
 
Ok as promised here is a few deck ideas for the new Sanctuary of the Sky cards. Now I wanted to play pure angels and see how it would do, but I couldn't get another Sanctuary of the Sky in a trade so I had to make it a hybrid (but thats ok, because if you read my other articles you know I love hybrids...Water/Scientist and Dagger/Scientist ... and yes this could combo with scientist...lol...
 
Anyways I did a Angel/Lp gain/and burn hybrid. (I know sounds kinda obvious, but most of the decks I've seen online don't do this.) In fact a lot of this will look familiar to my burn article on Pyros.
 
First I want to make it clear this is a hybrid, I only played one SotS and one Saturn and Mars b/c I only had one SotS...I have 2 of each angel. So its by no means a pure angel deck...
 
Ok first I wanted speed, lp gain, and deck thinning so my 1st choice was 3 Nimbles ... the look on my opponents face when he attacked one was priceless...this got a few laughs from other duelists with people making fun of my deck saying stuff like "why are you playing with those...) but thats ok I got the last laugh...lol...
 
The second thing I did was I wanted a lot of chainability so I played 3 wabakus and 3 scapegoats...(also works great with Cannon Soldier...)
 
3rd since I didn't have any high attackers...just Mars and Saturn...I played 2 or 3 Gravity Binds...(Saturn doesn't need to attack for obvious reasons...)
 
4th for more deck thinning and more LP gain, I played 3 Mother Grizzlies and 3 Cure Mermaids. (like I said I got laughed at a lot...until my lp's kept getting over 15000 easily every duel...ps if you run mother grizzlies and Cure Mermaid...you have NO REASON IN THE WORLD NOT TO RUN M. Scientist and C. Turtle)
 
5th whats a lp deck without solemn wishes. (Probably the most underrated card in the game)...get back at all those annoying duelists that play 3 drop offs by playing 3 solemn wishes...it will drive them crazy. (PS: I got Yata locked one round with about 25000 lp's...lol...it was great...they decked themselves so I won!)
 
6th. You can't play Solemn Wishes without playing Fire Princess. With the right stall cards I've won plenty of duels with this combo alone!
 
7th is probably the most dangerous card out with the right protection and that card is Wave Motion Cannon. I couldn't help but play 3 of these and watch my opponent get ticked off each turn b/c he didn't draw a MST...lol...
 
8th I played 2 very great stop flip effect/ burn/ lp gain cards. They are Ceasefire, and the Spell Aborbing Life (might be called the Soul Absorbing Life...I forget which one its called and I don't have my deck with my right now...)
 
Finally I played one Lava Golem...and it probably saved my life every duel...I can't even remember how many times I tributed off my opponents Jinzo, Beserck Gorilla, Breaker, or BLS...it was getting ridicoulous...lol...
 
Needless to say my LP's were always substantially higher than my opponents, and his were usually pretty low too at that matter...lol... I know it could sub as a burn deck...but I also play a lot of LP gain cards too. In fact this deck proves that the new Angels are very playable. For one you don't even have to play them to win! Your about to win and they MST your SotS...no problem...stick out a stealth bird and wave motion cannon with protection and its game over. However if you do get to play the new angel cards they certainly aren't going to hurt you any...and they will always be gamebreaking...
 
Oh and the argument they are a waste of space...doesn't apply here...this deck has so much speed and deck thinning they won't ever be a problem.
 
Well I hope that helps a lot people who want to try to make the new Angel cards work (and yes I know they are called Fairys here in the US so don't bother me with emails about that...) I know its not what you were expecting and I'm sorry I couldn't make a pure angel deck for everyone who wanted it. I'll try to get some more of the needed cards at the next tournament and if I do I'll write in another article...who knows maybe somebody else will get enough guts to try something new and write about it...it worked great for me...
 
Yes I know that Magical Cylinder and Draining Shield are great cards for this deck. However I wanted to stall with cards like Gravity Bind and Messanger of Peace, so that way I could put in a few Des Lacoodas and Stealth Birds.
 
If all of this looks familiar thats because I run a lot of the same stuff in my Butterfly Dagger deck that I already wrote an article on. (Actually I made this deck for the purpose of proving to everyone that the new Angels cards are very playable and not nearly as hard to play as everyone thinks they are...and the second reason was for the Tag Team tournament...this deck was made to compliment my Dagger deck...if you can't tell how strong of a team this is...well yeah you need help...lol...all of the lp gain also becomes a major source of Burn with my Fire Princesses in my Dagger deck. Plus it makes the Scientist combo so EASY to pull off...
 
Finally if you thought about playing a few of these cards, but you thought that the angel/fairy type wasn't very strong on monsters...think again! There are some great cards for this deck. For Example you can always pull out your old Airknight Parshaths, yes it is more than just a good beatdown monster...lol...Second you could pull out a great defensive monster and a great anti chaos card called Banisher of the Light. 3rd you could combo Shining Angels with DDWL (and yes I know DDWL isn't a angel/fairy...but do the combo anyways...and they both work great by themselves...)
 
I know what your thinking...your thinking wow!!! I didn't know the Angel subtype had so much support or was so strong! Well thats probably because if your like most people you just play what everyone else is playing, walking around like a mindless zombie...sorry to all zombie deck players...lol...no offense and no pun intended...The truth is these decks are very deadly and dangerous...in fact I beat 4 different chaos decks in a row with mine. I've heard a lot of people say they aren't impressed with Ancient Sanctuary b/c there "aren't any good cards in it...what they are really saying there is no new beatdown like B. Gorrila or no new hand control like Don...lol..." My answer to that is "Are you Blind?" The Ancient Sanctuary cards were made to balance the current metagame...they are just as powerful as the Invasion of Chaos cards...all you've got to do is go out and test them! If you go out and make a good deck and play it right you should win at least 9 out of 10 times for no other reason then you got a competive deck and You got the element of surprise!
 
I would apologize about the long article, but if you've read my other 3 articles you were probably expecting it...If you haven't read my other Articles they are "Why Water Decks are the Best", "The Amazing Butterfly Dagger", and "Pyros, the Return of the Burn."
 
Write me and tell me what you think. Comments, questions, ideas, tips and strategies are always welcomed and encouraged. Also if you want to do one of these, but your deck needs help I am more than willing to do deck fixes.
 
Have fun dueling! Now go out there and be original, have fun, and win tournaments all at the same time! Bring the Yugioh game back to the way it should be played where everyone has their own deck idea and strategy and they are all very dangerous!
