This week
I plan on writing a few articles dealing
with potential strategies the new format
will take on. Later in the week I will show
you a deck I won with at a local tournament
and explain to you one of the recurring
themes I have noticed flaring up. But
today, today I offer you a
devastating creation that will warp your
views of fairness and actually make you
regret ever leaving a monster in attack
mode.
Fire
explodes and your control withers away.
Searing heat burns away your hands as your
internal organs slowly begin to bubble.
Sweat runs down your face, your un-aware
what to do. Your opponent sits happily with
4 cards in their hand and you now have
nothing.
Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi
will be something to fear.
I came
across this concept recently due to Necrosis
co-leader, John Schiavone, and from the
horror stories of a close friend. This deck
concept has actually never been capable of
competing until the release of Mausoleum of
the Emperor and the banning of Chaos.
Basically the deck runs by searching out
Mausoleum and dropping your own LP by 2000
to summon Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi. From there his
massive 2800 attack points only have to hit
an opponent for any amount of damage.
Upon fulfilling that condition an opponent
is forced to discard every card in their
hand before their next draw phase.
Basically, in a game dedicated to resources,
one hit from a Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi will almost
guarantee the game.
Thus I
present to you...

Basically
this deck runs numerous battle searchers.
In doing so we can maintain strong field
presence while also being capable of abusing
Creature Swap. Giant Rat is a strong
searcher that will flourish in a format
without Chaos (I once heard someone say
Earth Decks suck. But Earth decks are
balanced decks that simply were overshadowed
by Chaos. Remember this now and forever.
Giant Rat has countless search targets.
Shining Angel in most decks only had itself
and DD Warrior Lady. The reason, b/c it was
a light. Rat is officially one of the best
searchers in the game now.)
Giant Rat
in turn searches out Nimble Momonga in
order to draw 2 more monsters from the deck
and also help us keep LP to utilize
Mausoleum of the Emperor. This deck runs no
copies of Cyber Dragon due to the fact the
card will not be usable late game. If all
is going well, our battle searchers will
hopefully always keep a monster on the
field. Basically we play the duel out
slow. Never do we overextend ourselves.
Set a Newdoria and pass. Set a Mystic
Tomato and pass. Eventually our opponent
will get into the habit of hitting our
monsters. Once we draw into the required
cards, Giant Trunade (which in this case
will not be a minus one due to Hino's killer
effect) Summon our two tribute spirit
monster for 2000 LP and enjoy an easy duel
from their on out.
In one
move we will have forced an opponent into
top decking, mind the fact they do not top
deck into morphing Jar, we will easily be
able to develop our field presence. Royal
Decree will help us shut down mass removal
while Chiron the Mage will make use of extra
Mausoleums or useless Terraformings.
Pot of
Avarice is so simple to use that it will
remind you of the days of Pot o' Greed (HOW
I MISS YOU:() This is due to all the battle
searchers we will be running.
Creature
Swap should only be used to establish
control of the game or win the game. Save
your creature swaps for an opponents big
monsters. If you hit an opponent with Hino
and they set a monster next turn, do not
hesitate in swapping for it. Creature Swap
has even more synergy due to your spirit
monsters. Summon Yamata Dragon, set your
entire hand, hit an opponents Cyber Dragon,
draw 5, and then creature swap them your
dragon for their facedown.
This deck
has so much potential that it makes me
shiver. I recommend that you all give it a
try and find out for yourself.
Until
next time, remember always that in one
instant you can change the outcome of an
entire event.
