Hello Lord Tranorix, how ya doin.
This is LeviaCaptain her'
So I feel like giving a tip

Building the "I Hate BLS" Warrior Deck

Now I'm not going to give a decklist here, but I will include suggestions on different cards, essential and supportive, for a non-chaos Warrior deck.

The first card we will talk about today is: MARAUDING CAPTAIN. The soon to-be DB2 rare from LOD, now a $15 Ultra, is essential to run 2 (it's semi-limited) in any pure warrior deck. Although it is weak, it can provide excellent LP control later in the duel How to Use: DO NOT start off the duel summoning him. The use of this card is LATER IN THE DUEL when you have a clear field. You should already have a monster, so summon this, and then attack with all 3.

DON ZALOOG is one of my personal favorites, and used to own games back in the PGD/DCR days. He has a good 1400 ATK and an awesome effect. He isn't a necessity, but he will help.
HOW TO USE: Summon to Attack or destroy a monster.

BLADE KNIGHT is also a very cool card because it is LV4, with a probable 2000 ATK AND a good effect. Unfortunately, you need an empty monster field to get his MS LV2 effect, which leads us to our next card...

MYSTIC SWORSMAN LV2 is very handy dandy despite its low ATK power, but can save your ass from Cyber Jars, Morphing Jars, and MoF's that will bring back a card that owned you earlier in the game. If not Main-decked Side at least 1.
HOW TO USE: Counter Top-Decking opponents setting stuff with this.

FREED THE MATCHLESS GENERAL is an optional but good card for the oppurtunity. Also an LOD Ultra, it comes in handy on occasion, but only in a pure warrior deck. Don't run more than one.

GOBLIN ATTACK FORCE and ZOMBYRA THE DARK take out nasty cards such as Berserk Gorilla, Berserk Gorilla, Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer, Airknight Parshath, D.D. Survivor, etc. that other Warrior's cannot. They also provide field control. I prefer GAF, IMO.
HOW TO USE: Summon Zombyra if your opponents has a monster stronger than all of yours. GAF can attack directly, and can be sacked for Freed of Jinzo or something later.

MATAZA THE ZAPPER is the best double attacker in the game, gets under burn regulations, and is a Dark Warrior. He owns open fields. Consider running 1 or 2.
HOW TO USE: On an open field. Equip this dude.

COMMAND KNIGHT powers up your monsters, and can't be killed when you have other monsters. Run 1-2.
HOW TO USE: Summon him via Marauding Captain late-game.

D.D. ASSAILANT and D.D. WARRIOR LADY kick butt as they both have a field clearing effect. Run 2 (they are basically the same card in non-chaos).
HOW TO USE: Set one on the first turn if you draw one, or if you are topdecking.

Onto Ze Magics

FUSION SWORD MARUSAME BLADE is a simple equip to use as, it can ONLY be destroyed when the monster equipped is destroyed, so you don't really have to worry about the fact that its a Equip. I suggest giving this thing to a Mataza. Its optional, but if you run Mataza, run 1-2 of these.

REINFORCEMENTS OF THE ARMY is simple. You get ANY LV4 Warrior in your deck you want. To your hand. Run 2.
HOW TO USE: Play it if you draw it.

THE WARRIOR RETURNING ALIVE helps in suicidle decks and decks in which you see your monsters just keep dying! It depends on your Meta.
HOW TO USE: If you have a Graveyarded monster that is useful in the situation, bring it back!

BOOK OF MOON+NOBLEMAN OF CROSSOUT is definitly a combo you want to use in a Warrior deck, because Warriors are known for their OTK on an open field. And maybe even splash Tsukuyomi. If you're running Donny, Mataza, and Blade Knight, these are musts.
HOW TO USE: See above sentence, play versus opposing monster in attack or F/D or BoM your own Flipper.

There are no real Warrior Based Traps that will actually help competitive decks, and most people know the staples. Now here's what NOT to run:

SANGAN isn't really necessary because RotA does the work for you, and better.

TORRENTIAL TRIBUTE is a card you should probably Side because you will mostly have field control most of the time.

SCAPEGTOATS you might as well side, unless you are morphing, which is really weird.

LIGHTNING VORTEX you shouldn't even side. Your opponent is just going to be setting and stuff, so you won't need this.

CYBER JAR... see Torrential Tribute

So there you have it folks. If you want to see my attempt at warrior swarm decks, just check out the link in my sig, I'm around the forums a lot. Anyway, thanks for getting this far.
