TCG tip: Snatch, Steal and be Evil deck - Yubel User

 

It's a shame snatch steal is banned. It would go so damn well with this deck. Basic idea behind this deck is to pinch the opponent's monsters and deal life point damage to them for the trouble.

            Okay, now for specifics. First is my favourite monster: relinquished. He's useful for almost every situation. As long as Shadow-imprisoning mirror isn't out and about, this guy will immediately nab an opposing monster and steal its original attack and defence and any lifepoint damage you get from him is dealt to your opponent as well. If you really want to make this critter hard to kill, use a dark door… I didn't put one in here due to space but it is a good combo if you put it in.

           

            Brainjacker is the mini snatch-steal in this deck. The main aim of this guy is to use him in combination with bad reaction to simochi. You steal a monster and start giving your opponent 500 damage a turn. It may not seem like much but it all adds up over time. Also, you might just get three of these guys on the field. Eye of truth can also dish out a beating like this.

 

            Ameba and creature swap. Once again, steal a monster and dish out whopping 2000 damage.

 

            Griggle and creature swap. Steal a monster and gain 3000 lifepoints. Sweet eh?

            Jowls of dark demise. This guy is good but he becomes deadly if you use a wall of revealing light first, set him and them flip him in your next turn. Imagine if your opponent had D-hero dogma or some other powerhouse? You can switch it into a direct attack against your opponent.

 

            Braincrusher is a great card. You can easily swarm using this beasty. Dark necrofear is also great for getting hold of the other side's powerhouses.

            D-hero plasma is by far the best creature in this deck. He needs no support. Negating all effects on the other side of the field is an immense ability and can do some serious damage to just about any strategy. He's difficult to summon but once he's out there isn't too much that can stop him. he can also steal monsters and get there attack; bonus!

 

            Obsidian dragon is basically there to protect your darks, and mimic is a draw engine (if a really bad one)

 

            Speaking of draw cards. The traps section is stacked with them. Dark art greed is usually a really bad card owing to the fact it can be so easily stopped. If eye of truth and bad reaction are out though you already know whether or not they have a magic card to reveal (I'm not to sure on the rules of this, if all of their cards are showing is it possible for them to reveal a card to you? If you've got an answer, e-mail me) so it's an easy two cards. Card trader is in there too.

 

            You'll also notice a few anti-meta cards in there. Deck lockdown for gladiator beasts and light imprisoning mirror for lightsworn. Couldn't find a counter for six samurai and DAD return that would actually work in this deck.
