 Trading Card Game Tips from fans

 

April 2008
 

Dark Deck for the Low Budgeteers!!! - CaptainFalcon
 

Hello all, it is CaptainFalcon and I am back to show you another sort-of-pricy-but-able-to-get-cards deck that I created. Since Dark decks have become the new hype for the next six months, I tried to create one.
 
No Dark Armed Dragon's, no Darklord Zerado's, no Allure's, nothing that costs almost 100 dollars. Infact, all I had to do was trade people to get all the cards in the deck. So it is possible.
 
I am thinking about creating the cold wave - plasma control deck, but since I didn't have many of those cards, this deck came out of this. It is sort of based around the plasma control, but take out the Plasmas, and Grinder Golems, and a lot of the other cards, and this came out:
 
 
Low Budget Dark Deck:
 
Monsters: 18
 
x3 Destiny Hero - Dasher
x2 Destiny Hero - Fear Monger
x1 Destiny Hero - Disk Commander
x1 Elemental Hero Stratos
x3 Phantom Skyblaster
x2 Dark Nephthys
x1 Jinzo
x1 Treeborn Frog
x1 Spirit Reaper
x1 Snipe Hunter
x1 Morphing Jar
x1 Sangan
 
Spells: 17
 
x1 Premature Burial
x1 Mystical Space Typhoon
x2 Foolish Burial
x3 Trade - In
x3 Cold Wave
x1 Scapegoat
x1 Heavy Storm
x1 Brain Control
x1 Monster Reborn
x2 Fires of Doomsday
x1 Lightning Vortex
 
Traps: 5
 
x3 Reckless Greed
x2 Return From the Different Dimension
 
 
 
 
So, that is the result that came out. I still could fix it up a bit, and two questions popped in my head:
1 Should I put in Armageddon Knights?
2 What would I take out?
 
I think they fuel for Dark Nephthys and it would help to get him out and destroy my opponents backfield. If I ever get Plasmas, I might think of creating the plasma control deck, but for now, I am trying to complete this deck. If you think some of the cards cost a lot, well, your right. I had to put them in, even though I call this a low budget deck. I call it a budget deck, because I could still spend about two thousand dollars and complete the dark deck.
 
I put in Dashers and a Foolish burial loop to summon big monsters faster. And that is where the Armageddon Knights come in, they also fuel the graveyard. So I think adding those would be good, I just don't know what to take out for them. Cold Wave is the major Anti - DAD decks. They can't play Allure's, D-Draws, anything. It stops them dead in their tracks.
 
Tre Reckless Greeds help the draw power in this deck and make it faster, to get to the Cold Waves quicker and easier. And then I put in RFtDD's. I was looking at Nepthys, and you have to remove the monsters from the grave. I am also thinking about Escape from the Different Dimensions. You can bring back Jinzo, and more great stuff.
 
Well, I think I have written enough. If you have any suggestions, questions, or any helpful comments, email me at dougkrivanek@yahoo.com . I will thank you in return and if you want me to fix any decks that you need help on, you can also send me a decklist, and I will provide some help.
