Subject: GX Deck Attempt - Zach Frazier



Just for fun, and partly because I was inspired by Mako, I wanted to take a crack at creating a character deck. The one I chose is my favorite character from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Chazz Princeton. Chazz uses a few different strategies throughout the show, but I'm going to focus on the deck that he uses the most. (Fun Fact: Chazz is one of the only 3 people throughout the entire show (original and GX) who use Call of the Haunted, and one of the only 2 who use it correctly.)

Chazz's deck has 3 main themes: the Ojama trio, the Armed Dragon set, and the VWXYZ monsters. He focuses more on the Ojamas, though, since they are his Duel Spirits. The Deck I'm making today isn't going to be too competitive, but it's a lot of fun to use.

First, let's focus on the Ojama combos. Chazz uses cards like Ojamagic, Ojamuscle, Ojama Delta Hurricane!!, and Ojama Trio to assist his Ojamas. These cards, with the exception of Ojama Trio, just scream situational, so we'll only use 1 of each in the deck, along with 1 of each Ojama and 1 Polymerization.

Moving along to the real power of the deck, we come to the Armed Dragon cards. These are a set of LV monsters, so they can grow more powerful as the duel passes. I like to use a system that I used in the Pokemon card game for LV monsters-for the lowest level, use as many as you can fit in the deck, and for each higher level, use 1 less than the previous level. So we have 3 LV3s, 2 LV5s, and 1 LV7.

In order to assist them, and to stay with character, we'll add 1 Masked Dragon, 2 Level Up!s, 1 The Graveyard in the Fourth Dimension, and 1 Level Modulation. We'll also need some monsters to discard for the effects of the Armed Dragons, so we add in Despair from the Dark, as well as Armed Changer and Monster Reincarnation to re-use monsters. We'll have Snatch Steal and Axe of Despair as well, for something to ditch for Armed Changer.

For the VWXYZ monsters, we'll need the monsters themselves, of course, but also we'll use 1 Frontline Base and 1 Roll Out!. This will help to summon the pieces faster.

For the Fusion Deck, we'll have 1 Ojama King, 1 VW-Tiger Catapult, 1 XYZ-Dragon Cannon, and 1 VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon.

Now for the rest of the deck. We'll add in Sangan, Dark Hole, Heavy Storm, Mystical Space Typhoon, Swords of Revealing Light, Premature Burial, Torrential Tribute, and Sakuretsu Armor, just to add a bit of extra destruction, stall, and revival.

So the final deck looks like this:

Monsters: 17

Ojama Green
Ojama Yellow
Ojama Black
V-Tiger Jet
W-Wing Catapult
X-Head Cannon
Y-Dragon Head
Z-Metal Tank
Armed Dragon LV3 x3
Armed Dragon LV5 x2
Armed Dragon LV7
Masked Dragon
Sangan
Despair from the Dark

Spells: 18

Ojamagic
Ojamuscle
Ojama Delta Hurricane!!
Polymerization
Frontline Base
Level Up! x2
The Graveyard in the Fourth Dimension
Level Modulation
Monster Reincarnation
Armed Changer
Axe of Despair
Dark Hole
Heavy Storm
Mystical Space Typhoon
Swords of Revealing Light
Premature Burial
Snatch Steal

Traps: 5

Call of the Haunted
Ojama Trio
Roll Out!
Torrential Tribute
Sakuretsu Armor

Fusion Deck: 4
Ojama King
VW-Tiger Catapult
XYZ-Dragon Cannon
VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon

This deck is very combo-oriented. Actually pulling off the different combos in the deck may be slightly difficult. I have play tested this deck a few times, and it tends to work fairly well. I have had a couple of bad draws, though, because of the Ojamas, but other than that it works well.
