Tebezu on YuGiOh
Necrogenesis
November 16, 2006

Before I start things off I'd love to commend Jae Kim on his last article for metagame.com.  He is also bringing out another one this Saturday dealing with a new age Strike Ninja build.  I applaud your creative Genius, wherever do you find the time to get these ideas and put them together.  If only I had thought of them first (ROTFLOL):P
 
Now I know what it feels like to be someone's muse:) 
 
......................................... 
 
Double Fertilization is a phenomena we observe in Angiosperms (flowering plants).  Basically this is a creative solution flowering plants have evolved in order to provide fertilized seeds a food source.  Overall one sperm (male reproductive gamete) will fertilize the egg (female reproductive gamete) and another sperm will fuse with Polar Bodies (reproductive by-products of meiosis).  The outcome is a fertilized seed and a tasty endosperm.  Now I know what you all are thinking, gross.  Endosperm believe it or is not is the puffy white nutrient rich layer found in popcorn.  
 
NOW YOU KNOW.
 
The reason that I have just described to you this biological fact is so that you all have a basis of knowledge allowing you to know seeds posses both Diploid and Triploid cells.  (Diploid Cells are those with 2 sets of chromosomes, thus allowing a full set of DNA from two different "donors" to be expressed (fertilized seed).  Triploid Cells are cells with 3 sets of chromosome, thus due to having one more chromosome pair something other than a seed forms.)
 
Now Asexual Reproduction can occur in plants, but even more astounding truth be told some ferns sexually reproduce with themselves.
 
This process is done through the the formation of a Prothalus in which both archegonium (female reproductive structure) and antheridium (male reproductive structure) are presence.  Overall the fern reproduces with itself.    
 
The overall importance described here is that flowers, grass, etc. are capable of reproducing whatever the current situation of their population.  This is how we must approach the development of new deck types...
 
As promised I have decided to introduce to you all a Dragon Deck.
 
I received the following email.... 
 
What's up Tebezu,
 
I just checked out your article on the Roid Deck. Nice job.
 
I'd like to get any opinion on my Dragon Deck built to get out the Five Headed Dragon.
Here it is:
 
42 cards
 
Monsters 23
 
3xArmed Dragon lv5
3xArmed Dragon lv3
3xMasked Dragon
3xLuster Dragon
2xMirage Dragon
1xTwin Headed Behemoth
3xCyber Dragon
1xSangan
1xDD Warrior Lady
1xBreaker the Magical Warrior
2xExiled Force
 
Magic 13
 
1xGraceful Charity
1xHeavy Storm
1xMystical Space Typhoon
1xGiant Trunade
1xCreature Swap
1xPremature Burial
1xLast Will
1xScapegoat
1xFissure
1xLightniong Vortex
1xFuture Fusion
2xDragon's Mirror
 
Trap 6
 
1xCall of the Haunted
1xMirror Force
1xTorrential Tribute
1xRing of Destruction
2xDust Tornado
 
I like the Armed Dragons because I can get them out very quickly to fuel Dragon's Mirror. I was using stamping destruction at first but I was dead in my hand sometimes if I didn't have a dragon on the field so I went with dust tornado instead. So far it's doing okay. I would appreciate any advice you could give.
 
Thanks,
 
-Ray-
 
As stated above reproduction, no matter how it occurs or what it forms uses the same raw genetic material.  When we approach deck building we can not break away from the cookie cutter too much.  Yugioh is a game that has a limited card pool, for us to not use the best available cards...
 
(Graceful Charity, Heavy Storm, Breaker the Magical Warrior, etc.)
 
puts us at a severe disadvantage. 
 
Ray's dragon deck was one of the better builds that I received.  It is a very reliable looking deck, some changes need to be made, but anyone could pick this deck up and figure it to run pretty standard and well.  I received dragon decks from people running Horus, armed dragon, and troop dragons with dragon's mirror and Pot of Avarice.  The only way I can visually compare this deck list to you is if you sit back and think of a dog picture.  
....
 
... 
 
Ok we have a dog, but as we start to build the background up, the more detail we put into the background the more it takes away from the dog, which is what our overall goal to see is.  The more clutter the less dog we see.  Eventually the paper becomes black due to all the extra ink.  Now we see nothing.
 
....
 
....
 
We can not expect to run an efficient deck if it tries to do 500 things at one time.  The Shonen Jump Champs, the guy who wins your local all the time, etc. are people who simplify the game.  The monarch decks being used right now require a player to make a quick 2 for 1 exchange (tribute off a frog or flip effect monster/floater) thus giving them the upper hand in advantage. 
 
We must simplify the game to be successful, strike ninja is a good card because if used properly will provide a free plus 1 that can and will accumulate over turns. 
 
Now that I have made this point, it is time to look at the deck and make some drops. 
 
1xArmed Dragon lv5
1xArmed Dragon lv3
1xCyber Dragon
1xGiant Trunade
1xFissure
1xLightniong Vortex
1xExiled Force
2xDust Tornado
 
Both Dust Tornado's should be replaced with Royal Decree.  Dust Tornado will always be a 1 for 1.  Sometimes a 2 for 1 if your opponent hits it with MST.  But Royal Decree will be a 1 for 1 that generates total negation (except in the case of Breaker/mobius in which case we should side-deck bottomless trap hole and trap hole to shut down the "persistent issue"), thus allowing us to freely summon our Five-Headed Dragon (or any other monster for that matter). 
 
Lightning Vortex and Fissure are not as good as smashing ground.  Until Gadgets are released, smashing is one of the best 1 for 1 cards to date.  Most of the monsters being played today are floaters in one sense or another.  Skilled players do not swarm the field with non-floaters unless they have a way to protect them or victory is ensured.  Thus Lightning Vortex becomes a pointless card to utilize.  If an opponent is running monarchs then their monarch has just cost you 3 cards, while they are still up 1.  Hence smashing ground is better in most cases.  Fissure is not even a good substitute due to frog, Sangan, and Scapegoat.
 
Giant Trunade needs to be dropped due to its lack of synergy.  He is using this card to protect his dragons, but Royal Decree is going to give us more than we need.  Thus Trunade should be replaced with another Creature Swap, which gives us all kinds of broken swap targets to use.  Sangan, Masked Dragon, Twin-Headed Behemoth, goats, etc.
 
One Cyber Dragon should be dropped to help us utilize the decks three tributes.  Armed Dragon LV. 5 is not always going to be searched from the deck.  Thus frog will work with creature swap, last will, graceful, etc.  Plus I also feel the deck is going to establish field control quick enough that Cyber Dragon will become dead weight.  
 
One of each Armed Dragon level should be dropped to make room for Spirit Reaper (one of the best monsters EVER) and D.D. Assailant.  The overall goal of this deck is to make it appear like we are playing something other than dragons.  Then to drop the Dragon's Mirror for a big surprise attack.
 
I am also going to remove an Exiled Force to make room for a Zaborg.  This is not a necessary change, but I am one who believes exiled should only be ran at two if reinforcements of the army is in the deck.  Exiled is a great monster, but I really do not see a point for 2.  
 
Now the final build!!!

 I advise that you all give this evolving deck type a try.  For in the end you may discover an unstoppable beast, who knows what mystery awaits the archetype in the future?

 
Death gives rise to life and as such this deck demonstrates such a pwoerful concept, so few understand.
 
 
If anyone needs any help, has a crazy idea, or just wants to talk I can be contacted at...
