Deconstructing a Chaos Deck- A Fire's
Response
You asked for it, I promised it, so here it is, my
newest article. In my last Article "Deconstructing a Chaos Deck- a Water's
Response" I gave several reasons for why water decks are perfect decktypes
to beat chaos...notice I didn't say counter...why counter something if u could
just beat it easily in the 1st place... Actually most of my reasons for playing
a water deck are found in my earlier article called "Why Water Decks are the
Best." Also props to Silver for figuring out such an obvious way to counter
chaos...necrovalley...I can't believe he even had to write it...Nah I'm just
kidding he seems like a pretty cool guy and I'm sure we would be good friends
from what I've read of his articles...(Not quite as good as mine, but what can I
say...lol...j/k)
But today I introduce my water's tag team
partner...fire. You would think it wouldn't work well together...but like most
people if u think that then u obviously think wrong about a lot of things, or
just don't think at all...for instance both Cure Mermaid and Fire Princess work
great together...and both LO and Lava Golem make good use of Gravity
Bind...lol... yes I am a genius...not to mention one of my water deck's main
strenghts is Magical Scientist/C. Turtle which adds some more burn damage for my
fire deck and my fire deck's burn cards and lp gain cards usaully make sure I
have plenty of lp's to pull it off with.
Anyways on to my article.
A nicely played fire deck (notice I didn't say made...I'm tired of
people emailing me whining b/c they can't beat chaos decks...its not just the
cards u have...its how u play them...) will stop a lot of the current
metagame. For instance if Chaos is popular...u can side-deck (yes I did say
side-deck...and yes I do play with one...lol...a few Big Burns and
Graverobber's Retrubution...shoot even Soul Release would
work...notice this doesn't take away from your burn theme...they still are going
to lose lp's...not to mention nothing is better than sacking a BLS and another
monster (esp if that monster is CED...) for a Lava Golem...lol...(to be nice I
won't mention any names...lol)
This deck also works great
against control. *Plz note this includes Chaos/Control* For starters lets
look at what a typical control deck plays...namely Del. Duo, Confiscation,
Magical Scientist, and CED...now if u look at all of these cards effects
they have to pay lp's to play these cards...(which raises the ? why hasn't
anyone made a lp gain control deck...) Anyways thats 4000 lp's right
there...easy to finish with a nicely timed Wave-Motion Cannon, Cannon Soldier,
Fire Princess, Solar Flare Dragon, Curse of Darkness, Stealth Bird, Ring Of
Destruction, Magical Cylinder, Barrel Behind the Door, Nightmare Wheel, Lava
Golem, Ceasefire, etc, etc...(yes I did include other monsters besides fire in
this paragraph...the point was to ephasize that burn decks can make Hand Control
Decks best cards into their biggest weakness) Also it is equally important to
note that if u get these cards/combos going early on they won't have the lp's to
play their almighty CED (that was said in a mocking voice by the way...lol) or
their other cards...and if nothing else if their lp's are low they will be
constantly 2nd guessing on whether or not they should play a card...ie:should i
play Del Duo...what if they bring out Lava Golem or Wave Motion Cannon to finish
me...etc, etc...
And yes this deck stops the 3rd most popular
deck type out there... the over so popular beat-down deck. With a little
stall...can u say Gravity Bind, Messanger of Peace, or LV B...Beatdown decks get
slaughtered here...in fact its a massacre...and u just sit there and watch their
lp's dwindle away...lol...this is great...it case u can't tell I'm really
enjoying this...nothing is better with trashing everybody's narrow-minded view
with a little originality!
Did I mention this deck has speed and
swarm...think The Thing in the Crater and UFO Turtle...yeah i know this deck
kicks butt...in fact I've already proven it...each of the examples for deck
types were real decks that I actually slaughtered several times at our local
tourney...it takes a few slaughterings to convince people that they didn't lose
b/c of "luck" or b/c they didn't "draw the right cards."
Does a lot
of this sound familiar...thats b/c a lot of my ideas I have already wrote about
in my other articles...including "Pyros, the Return of the Burn." And
"Heaven's Wrath; the Angels Revenge" (by the way since a good Angel Deck
also uses a lot of lp gain and burn cards everything I've said so far applies to
it as well...thus another anti chaos strategy...
Wow another
strategy that stops chaos/control/and beatdown...whats that 5...(water,fire,
dagger, scientist, and angel) Well I'm surprised chaos decks are doing so
well...it raises the question how are they winning at all...(oh wait I know this
one...its b/c a great duelist will play with one...and everyone sees him win
with it...so they try to copy his deck...lol...this really is amusing...1st a
great duelist would have a better strategy...and 2nd even if u copied a deck
exactly...no 2 people are going to play it the same way...thus another reason
why I normally don't give out deck lists...) Now lets logically think about
this...a great duelist vs a good or average duelist...even if they have the
exact same deck...the great duelist is going to win every time...makes u wonder
why people still get mad when they make a chaos deck and still lose...lol...wait
thats right they blame it on "luck" until they lose like 10 times in a
row...
Yeah some people only learn the hard way...(sry no
names...I'm trying to be nice...lol) The truth is originality kicks metagame
butt...wait thats originality + brains...yes u do have to think for yourself
some...lol...if u want this to work. (If nothing else how decks are both equally
as good but u have the element of surprise...giving u a huge
advantage...)People are always complaining one of 2 ways...one being everyone
needs to play original decks...i personally agree with this, but I disagree with
how it comes across...its not that everyone needs to play original decks so they
have a better chance of winning so they can have more fun...its everyone needs
to play original decks so the game will constantly be fun and refreshing...u
know a little surprise now and then is good. The other opinion, the much more
ignorant one, is that Chaos decks are the best; therefore everyone who complains
about them either isn't a good duelist, or doesn't have the $$$ to get them so
they just complain. Yes they are good, but far from unbeatable...as I've already
proven 5 times...In fact I even have all the "main" Chaos cards (and I use that
word lightly...seeing that I personally believe that Breaker, and DDWL,etc are
not good chaos cards...but if u read my newest water article u knew that
already...and why...yes I do have CED, BLS, Breaker, Yata, DDWL, and Reflect
Bounder, but I will run my Water, Fire, or Dagger deck over a chaos anyday...and
for good reason...) I hope no one gets offended...wait thats right I really
don't care, plus I doubt that anyone who would get offended by reading this
would read down this far...they would probably take one look at the title, say
Fire deck...this deck sucks and click the back button...lol...o well just
another victim that needs to learn the hard way...
Oh yeah one last
thing...and it needs to be said...I've heard from a lot of people stuff along
these lines: well with the new ban list coming out...that deck might be
playable... These people are ignorant and/or stupid. (and sadly yes I have
heard that from most of those people on Pojo's Card of the Day Staff) My water
deck kicked butt at my tourney even when my opponent could play 3 MST's, HFD,
CED, Del Duo, Yata, etc, etc!!! For heaven's sake its called thinking!!! If
everyone plays 3 MST's play a few Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spells or Spell
Vanishings...They allow a side deck for a reason...
The truth is
don't let anyone, and I mean anyone tell u what is playable and what isn't.
Especially with the ban list coming out...the truth is that most of these deck
types worth deck worthy, even tournament worthy, even tournament competitive,
way b4 the ban list...u just had to think for yourselves...(I know its hard but
plz try...) In fact you guys brought this on yourselves... the truth is if
everyone played with their own decks they wouldn't have to ban anything...its
your fault...so stop complaining...
Now I do realize that this
will probably produce a lot of hate-mail just b/c I can be very blunt and I do
speak my mind (I know surprise surprise) Plz don't send any b/c I really don't
care what u think if u do, and your just wasting both of ours time. But
hopefully all of my articles has shed some new light on dueling techniques,
strategies, and gameplay...as I know it has thanx to the hundreds of people who
have emailed me congradulating me on my articles...why pojo hasn't contacted me
about a position yet is beyond me...lol...God knows I would do a better job them
most of them (no names: but for ex: Airknight is playable again b/c its chaos
food...yeah I'm sick of that line...Airknight was way more than playable
long b4 chaos came out...)
Also I apologize that I wrote for so
long and added in some stuff besides fire combos, but I wanted people to see
beyond the card names and not to just take my word for it or blow it off...I
wanted them to try to think logically about it and see the reasoning behind
it...which I did...in great detail.
Hate me (don't care)
Love me
(I know, its hard not to)
