BIRDIE SPRINT
July 25, 2006

As we travel through life we come across instances or events that seem locked in eternity.  Our minds crush with intensity and fear due to the inability to understand what exactly is happening.  We worry and compress, eventually realizing that when those hard times come we just have to bear with them, see what happens, and keep on going.
 
Well I am the type of person who enjoys nothing more than watching an opponent worm around in their chair thinking intensely about how to get themselves out of something they don't understand.  One of my readers sent me the following e-mail :
 
My name is Jake and I am a member of the Pojo.com forum and I was looking at peoples decks and saw one that looked interesting. It revolved around using Dark Dust Spirit, Sacred Phoenix of
Nephthys
and Treeborn Frog to create an infinite destruction
combo. Find a way to summon Phoenix, then summon Treeborn Frog. Keep tributing Frog for DDS and destroy every monster, including Phoenix. Your next Standby Phase, Phoenix comes back and destroys all S/Ts and the combo starts over. The only problem I have is when my Phoenix gets hit by Bottomless, which eliminates the S/T destruction and makes me sad. Usually once I get my combo rolling, my opponent scoops out of frustration that they have no answers to my infinite combo. Anyway I modified it a few times and I was wondering what you think. My deck is on a budget, so if you can, try not to suggest too many expensive cards, although all suggestions will be appreciated. 
 
 Thanx!

At first glance I was stunned.  The idea of generating a loop was intriguing to me but the deck has inconsistency issues upon first glance.  For example, bottomless trap hole and Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer.  Both of these cards are going to hurt your combo.  But at last the deck is also inconsistent because its loop is the product of a 2 tribute monster and a 1 tribute spirit monster.  Thus the deck should focus on searching for the combo, yet maintain field presence in order to accomplish this.  Thus the following occurred.....
 
the deck needs to run 3x My Body as Shield, because this card will allow for you to protect the phoenix from bottomless trap hole and will also maintain field presence for your battle searchers by stopping nobleman of crossout.
 
Swords of Revealing Light, Dust Tornado, and Seven Tools of the Bandit are not needed.  Simply because Phoenix will be an every turn Heavy Storm and My Body as a Shield should stop any and all threats.
 
I do like the use of Wobaku simply because this card single handedly removes the threat of Kycoo because he will be unable to deal damage and thus allow the cycle to continue.  PLUS IT IS CHAIN-ABLE TO ALMOST ALL CONDITIONS and stops Spirit Reaper/Don Zaloog from hurting your combo...
 
Watch out for obscure tricks like book of life (etc.) to remove frog or phoenix; but in the long run I don't think these will be pressing issues to concern yourself with b/c no-body appears to be playing them.
 
 
This deck is running multiple battle searchers, and I originally pretested it with 3x Nimble Momonga and 3x Giant Germ.  But in the end I decided to scrap them for more productive monsters that would work if you drew multiples.
 
G-Spy allows for some killer field presence while searching others out and Mystic Tomato allows me to search reaper, tomato, apprentice, old vindictive, spy, and Sangan which in turn gets frog.
 
Yet this deck also packs 2x Creature Swaps taking advantage of Battle Searchers and allowing tsuky locks to be generated with swap and magician of faith.  This is a take on the deck which I believe to be competitive and strong.  Yet people more intent on looking just for the combo without any back-up plans I'd personally recommend running nothing but battle searchers.  The flaw with that (and the reason I choose not to in this build) is that the deck will not always get its combo off.  Thus should try its best to win in a stable form. 
 
I believe this lock is effective and devastating, thus it should be looked at.
