Healing Can Be Very Painful - captainkirk
This is my first time writing an article so go easy
on me. I have watched the current meta with Dark
Armed Dragon dominating the format and think there
could be need for a mid ban-list restriction of Dark
Armed Dragon, but I will not plan on it happening. I
was at a regional on March 8th and took 12th, but
one of my friends was playing a very good deck and I
am going to explain a few things about the deck and
why it works so well in the format. Here is the
basic deck list after the regional occurred to make
it more efficient.
Monsters: 9
3x Nurse Reficule the Fallen One
3x Mystic Tomato
1x Marshmallon
1x Spirit Reaper
1x Morphing Jar
Spells: 11
3x Upstart Goblin
2x Wave Motion Cannon
3x Offerings to the Doomed
1x Scapegoat
1x Chainstrike
1x Monster Reborn
Traps: 20
2x Bad Reaction to Simochi
3x Gift Card
2x Path of Destiny
3x Dimension Wall
1x Magic Cylinder
1x Ceasefire
3x Threatening Roar
3x Reckless Greed
1x Torrential Tribute
1x Mirror Force
It is easy to see that the point of the deck is to
get Nurse Reficule the Fallen One onto the field and
burn your opponent’s life points. There are a few
catches though, like Nurse’s ability does not
accumulate for each additional Nurse you control. If
your opponent has a Prime Material Dragon on the
field, any effect that would increase your
opponent’s life points would in the end still
increase them, if you want specifics feel free to
email me and I will explain why. There are no Soul
Taker(s) in the deck because they are very expensive
and hard to come by.
Some of you may ask, why are there Offerings to the
Doomed and Reckless Greed in the deck? I will tell
you why. The reason for the Reckless Greed(s) is for
draw power and that is it. Seeing as the deck
already loses turns because of Reckless Greed, we
scratched the idea of Smashing Ground and Hammer
Shot to go with a card that we can decide the target
for so that if Jinzo is on the field, we are
guaranteed to destroy it.
Threatening Roar is great tech for the deck because
it slows the meta down to be able to counteract the
speed of Dark Armed Dragon and Diamond Dude Turbo.
All this deck really needs is to hit a Gift Card or
two and then Ceasefire or Wave-Motion Cannon for the
game.
This is a very consistent deck and I would recommend
it for this format because it is fairly inexpensive
with only Mirror Force and Nurse being the most
expensive cards in the deck. If anyone has tried
this deck, email me and let me know how it did and
against what deck style.
If you have any decks you want reviewed or edited
you can email me and I will get back to you as soon
as possible. Thanks for checking out my first deck
review.
