Lesser Played Decks: Earth Aggro
By: darkmagegirl

Hi all of you out there, I'm continuing with my second installment of lesser played decks. Today we'll be looking at an EARTH aggro deck and I would like to tell you that it's pretty easy to make and it's not hard to get the cards you need (except maybe 1 or 2). This was the basic deck I used in my first tourney (2W, 2L). This time we look at what I call 'aggro monsters'. These are:

Goblin Attack Force
Goblin Elite Attack Force
Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei
Giant Orc

You know these monsters, 4 starts hell high ATK, 0 DEF (Elites
excluded) and EARTH (Orc Excepted). Okay so let's kick the Orc out as he's not really EARTH. Here's our Aggro monster lineup and we have to keep in mind that this deck strikes hard and fast! So we've got our Aggro monsters and I'll tell you how to get them easy:

3x Goblin Attack Force (Common in Warriors Triumph, an easy trade) 3x Indomitable Lei Lei (Common in Cybernetic Revolution) 2x Goblin Elite Attack Force (Super-Rare in CRV but most people will trade
them)

A new card is out there as well, boasting 2400 ATK and 0 Def. It's Chainsaw Insect! We'll put in 2 because of the draw factor (bad).

2x Chainsaw Insect (Rare in Shadow Of Infinity)

I'd like to draw your attention to a card I overlooked until recently.
It hails from Elemental Energy and Duelist Pack-Chazz Princeton.
Infernal Incinerator.

Infernal Incinerator
Attrib: Fire
Type: Fiend/Effect
Level:6
Atk: 2800
Def: 1800
This card can only be Normal Summoned or Set by discarding all card(s) in your hand to the Graveyard except this card, as well as Tributing 1 card with ATK 2000 or higher from your side of the field. Increase the ATK of this monster by 200 points for each monster on your opponent's side of the field. Decrease the ATK of this card by 500 points for each monster on your side of the field, except this card.

Now you may think, "What, is he crazy?" But alas, no, Incinerator needs a monster with 2000 or higher ATK right? And we have 8 ones with that that are four stars! Sure you've gotta ditch your hand but if you keep it down to 1 or 2 cards, you'll be okay. If your rush is so god and your monsters are still standing strong, this guy's attack will be low, but thanks to a buddy I call Skill Drain, we're okay. So with him on the field you have this card:

Infernal Incinerator
Attrib: Fire
Type: Fiend/Effect
Level:6
Atk: 2800
Def: 1800
This card can only be Normal Summoned or Set by discarding all card(s) in your hand to the Graveyard except this card, as well as Tributing Goblin Attack Force, Goblin Elite Attack Force, Chainsaw Insect or Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei. If your opponent's rushing you, laugh in their face, if you have skill drain on the field, this card becomes a 2800 ATK, 1 sacrifice (aside from your hand) beatstick.

Hope you like it. However we'll only put one in as he is unstable and if you can't maintain field presence enough to summon him, feel free to side him out for mobius or Jinzo, which give a sense of safety to his deck.

Now our opponents may use searchers to overwhelm us and sac them for something big, but here we have a chain of warriors for the job.

1x Mystic Swordsman LV6 (work hard to pull this baby, I did by sheer luck out of a tin) 2x Mystic Swordsman LV4 (Common in Warrior's Triumph) 3x Mystic Swordsman LV2 (see above)

Great cards and they benefit our deck with some sense of security. We now have a 17 monster count and we'll use some staples for this:
mainly Exiled Force and DD Assailant/Warrior/Warrior Lady. Feel free to pick any of these and throw them in.

Spells:
Here's the six-spell staple lineup:

MST
Heavy Storm
NoC
Snatch Steal
Premature Burial
SoRL

Ill throw in a second NoC because we can, and that plus the swordsmen will force our opponent to play in attack mode, even better.

Now lets add some draw power:
1x Graceful Charity
1x PoA

Now the PoA is there because, with 0 DEF, your Aggro cards won't last long on the field, so lots of fuel there.

The Mystic Swordsman's could use some help so heres two for them:
1x Level Up!
1x Level Modulation

And since we'll be dealing with warriors..:

2x RotA
2x The Warrior Returning Alive

With all these EARTH cards, Gaia power must not be overlooked, I love the though of playing a 2800 ATK card on the opening turn. 2 of them will do it.

Now for traps we have some choices. First we'll want 2 of either Final Attack Orders or Prepare to Strike Back. You can put them in any combination you want but the Orders are safer. Skill drain will be run but only a single copy, so as to let the mystic swordsman's shine through, but still let your aggros be powerful. Now for one of my Favorite cards of all time:

Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane

Tribute 1 EARTH monster on your side of the field. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower EARTH monster from your Graveyard, except the Tributed monster.

This is like a gift from god himself. Sac a spent aggro monster, bring another fresh one back in attack mode, heck do it during the same battle phase for hellfire damage. 3 of these babies will rock this deck.


This gives a grand total of 41 cards with the final decklist looking like
this:

Infernal Incinerator
Mystic Swordsman LV6

Non-Tributes: 16
Goblin Attack Force x3
