We all know about
Synchro monsters, and most of us probably
hate them. Synchros probably ruined the game
by being too accessible. The Extra Deck is
also extremely expensive. We all know
Synchros like Goyo Guardian, Stardust
Dragon, and the infamous Dark Strike
Fighter.
Some players might ask, “Is there any way I
can make a Synchro deck without spending
much money?” My answer is, yes, you can.
Though it might not be as effective as some
players', you can still fulfill the point of
a Synchro deck being a toolbox, and even get
plenty of use out of it. Keep in mind that
in article, I'm not including Synchros that
require a certain Tuner to summon them, like
Junk Warrior or Road Warrior (lol, for
anyone who watches South Park).
Getting those Synchros isn't going to be
very hard. Some of them have even been
released in tins: Red Dragon Archfiend,
Stardust Dragon, Black Rose Dragon, and Goyo
Guardian. Also, you can get some decent
Synchros out of starter decks. Just buy both
5D's starters and you'll find yourself with
Gaia Knight the Force of Earth, Collosal
Fighter and X-Saber Urbellum, and you'll
also have a few other nice cards. Like
X-Saber Airbellum and two copies of
Scrap-Iron Scarecrow.
Once you have those three nifty Synchro
monsters, it's time to go and get some
Collector's Tins to find three more! It'll
cost you a hefty $12 - $15 for each one, but
at least you'll gain 5 packs and some tokens
out of each of those. Who knows? Maybe you
might even pull some more Synchros out of
those tins!
Your first priority should be to get
Stardust Dragon. Its epic picture and effect
will make sure you remain safe from harm and
can control the field. Then, you should go
for Goyo. I don't know if it's true, but I'm
pretty sure Goyo is a Toy's R Us exclusive,
so you might have to pull a Rockefeller and
borrow someone's kid to save yourself from
some embarrassment. Third and fourth on your
list is Red Dragon Archfiend and Black Rose
Dragon, I suggest just going for whichever
one you like more. Keep in mind that the Tin
Promo Synchro monsters aren't worth too much
if you're buying them off of people.
There are more cheap Synchros, mainly rares.
You could get Psychic Lifetrancer but she's
very weak. She isn't going to do you much
good but she's better than nothing. The
other Rare Synchro is Iron Chain Dragon. Bad
in most duels, but when it's good to summon,
it's very good to summon. I would go for
Iron Chain Dragon before Lifetrancer since
you already have two other level 7 synchros.
So, after you've gotten the starters and
tins, and maybe some singles, you'll have
built yourself a very solid, budget Synchro
toolbox to aid you in your Duels!
6: Gaia Knight the Force of Earth, Goyo
Guardian & Iron Chain Dragon
7: Black Rose Dragon, X-Saber Urbellum &
Psychic Lifetrancer
8: Stardust Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend &
Collosal Fighter
After reading this article, you'll probably
be able to go out and get yourself a solid
Synchro deck! A total of 9 cards, you'll
have three monsters to access in all 3 of
the normal Synchro levels, 6, 7 & 8. And of
course, this isn't counting any Synchro
monsters you may have pulled in booster
packs from the tins! Hopefully this article
may have helped a few people trying to catch
up with the game on a budget!
