Hello people how's it going? Good? I thought
so.
In my last post (Tips and Rants section) I
gave an open invitation to any and all of
you to send me your decks to let me tweak
them up. What i failed to mention is that i
am going to do this without spending more
than $50.00 / £30.00. You see, its easy for
me or anyone else to say something along
the lines of "Add 3 Cyberdragons, 3
Thunder Monarchs and a Crush Card Virus and
you should be ok"
So im going to make fix's based on the
presumption that you don't have 30k just
laying around.
I got ALOT of email and I had to pick one
deck from them to use for my first fix.
After scanning threw some rather fantastic
concepts i decided to make this the first of
hopefully many fix's.
So lets get started.
"Dear John:
Hello from America! Like you, I've been
playing Yu-Gi-Oh since it came out. For me,
that was my Junior year of High School.
Anyway, I took a break from the game when I
ket running into the same cookie cutter
decks piloted by people who just wanted to
win. It took the fun out of the game.
Well, I've been paying attention to the game
and got back in about a year ago.
Unfortunately Gadgets, Monarchs and Demise
run rampant. With the new ban list though,
the game has slowed down enough that I feel
anyone can play with a decent deck and win.
So here I am, trying out some LV monsters
that I like, and a combo of Spell Striker
and Heart of Clear Water for a lock of
sorts. I was wondering what you think of
this deck and if you could help me out with
the R&D portion.
Light Strikers: 42 Cards
Monsters: 20
Spell Striker (3)
Armor Exe (2)
Silent Swordsman Lvl 3 (3)
Silent Swordsman Lvl 5 (2)
Silent Swordsman Lvl 7 (2)
Silent Magician Lvl 4 (3)
Silent Magician Lvl 8 (2)
Shining Angel (3)
Spells: 12
Heart of Clear Water (3)
Ring of Magnetism (3)
Reinforcement of the Army (2)
Mystical Space Typhoon (1)
Swords of Revealing Light (1)
Enemy Controller(2)
Traps: 10
Wall of Revealing Light (1)
Waboku (2)
Magic Cylinder (1)
Sakuretsu Armor (2)
Threatening Roar (2)
Enchanted Javelin (2)
Another interesting combo is Armour Exe with
Silent Magician Lvl 4. The magician gets a
spell counter when your opponent draws a
card, and the Armour eats a counter to stay
on the field. If you could give me your
opinion on this and any suggestions, I would
appreciate it. Thanks a lot. Later days.
V.L. Sigma"
Ok, the first thing about this deck and what
made this my first pick is that its build is
stable and you don't have any Monarchs,
Cyberdragons a treebornfrog or any of the
cards that'll cost you $$$ to include. So i
will stick to you style and not suggest
cards that are going to cost you all that
much to obtain.
I'll keep em cheap as chips as we say here
in England.
First i will start with the monsters.
Although i do love that your using
Armour Exe and Spell Striker you do need to
make room for some powerful monsters like
Breaker The Magical Warrior, Magician Of
Faith, and in this case a DD warrior lady.
See these cards have all been released as
commons in various starter decks and there
not going to cost you much to pick up, be it
to trade or to buy. And these 3 cards alone
will rapidly increase the power of your
deck! Another two monster i will suggest are
a pair of Freed The Brave Wonder's.
With the effect to destroy a stronger
monster by removing to light type monster in
your grave from play you will be destroying
Monarch's and cybers with ease. Also with
shining angles getting your Silent monsters
you will have a quickly replenishing supply
of destroyed light monsters in your grave,
yes two freeds are a must.
The Spells need abit of work, but nothing to
outrages. Thing is, with spell striker out
those heart of clear waters ant going to be
effective anymore, so they get the boot
along with you ring of magnetism's as the
don't FORCE your opponent to attack, making
there use quite limited.
As replacements i suggest the following:
3x Level Up!. These 3 cards will quickly
become your best friends. allowing you to
skip the normal level up requirement of you
silent monster giving you a massive attacker
that is unaffected by spells. In a word,
Nice!
1x Premature Burial
1x Heavystorm
1x Scapegoat
These 3 cards are duelling 101. They are all
easy to find in starter decks and most of
your friends will have plenty of them in
there trade bins. Get them.
x2 Lightning vortex. These will not only
take out opponents monsters in a flash but
also give you a use for any Silent
Swordsman LV 7's or Silent Magician LV 8's
you have picked up. Once again this an
another easy to obtain common in a starter
deck.
The last card i will suggest isn't easy to
find or that cheap, but it'll be worth it if
you can get it. Dimension Fusion, a spell
card that will let you summon all those
light monsters you have removed from play
with Freed, instant swarm at the cost of
2000 LP.
Now we move onto the traps.
As you have 9 monsters that have some
immunity to spell card it would be a shame
to let them get destroyed by attacking into
a Sakuretsu Armour now wouldn't it? The
solution? Two Royal Decrees, these baby's
will shut down all traps on the filed and
stop the activation of others. a double
edged swords as it stops you from using your
traps too. So as i have added 3 extra spell
cards we can afford to lose some, infact
lose 9 out of ten.
You see, i still need to add
1x Call Of The Haunted
and
1x Torrential Tribute
These are two more cards that are starter
deck commons and that will increase the
strength of your deck dramatically. And with
you only having 5 traps now and mirror force
costing way to much you 5th trap should be
Sakuretsu Armour. With that done you have
your final deck.
