Theme Decks - Beaverman

Hi, its Beaverman again. I have been thinking about originality (as
usual) and decided that, when it comes down to it, very few themed decks have tournament potential. But firstly, what are the primary themed decks people are thinking about.

1. Harpies- Yep, Mai's ever so dangerous harpies. There's been a bit of debate on this subject, but its pretty clear which side has all of the brains on it. HARPY DECKS WILL NEVER WORK! I can guarantee it. Nobody can beat a regional caliber player with a Harpy Deck. Its simple, they are too bad. You can have a max of three Harpies WOOHOO. Even if you could have 3 of each Harpy, they still wouldn't be good.


2. Insect- After people saw how Weevil shut down Joey with an insect deck, everybody wondered if they could make one that powerful. However, at the time, very few of his cards were out. Then in IOC, it all came together.
Unfortunately, IOC was also the dawn of chaos, which completely overshadowed the possibility of insect decks. Then, FET released Insect Knight, but it was too late to bring them into the metagame. However, I personally have made an insect deck, but I use it to train my 6 year old sister. How much tournament potential does that give it?

3. Dragon- Lets face it. Dragons are cool, but they aren't good. The main problem with dragons is that they rely too heavily on double tribute monsters.
I attempted to make one before the dragon structure deck came out, and did some considerable play testing, but never quite got it to the tournament. Then the decks came out, but the dragon deck wasn't exactly "successful."

4. Water- Yep, everybody has thought about making a water deck at one point or another. After the second ban list, they once had a small boom, where water decks popped up in every tournament, well, at least one did. People thought chaos was over, and tried to find new dominant deck types. Apparently, water wasn't it. However, though the new starter decks definitely won't make them the next zombies, they could have small tournament potential in the right hands.

Well, I'm very sorry if I accidentally insulted your deck type. I'm going to later go into detail of the pros and cons of these decks and build, to the best of my ability, one of each. By the way, if you're wondering why I suddenly shifted from a pro-chaos perspective to an originality outlook perspective, you'll learn why all to soon.
Thank You,
Beaverman
