Forum:Anti-Heal Anti-Meta

After seeing the new banlist, I needed to figure out what deck would be good this format. Samurai? Not good enough. Debris Plants? Pretty much DEAD. Blackwings? Meh. But I finally decided on a deck that can quickly and effectively bring any top tier deck to a grinding halt and slowly scratch away their life points one by one (or 1000 by 1000, really). Meet Anti-Heal.

The deck runs very few monsters, since they act more as support for the trap lineup. 3 Nurse Reficules turn things like Upstart Goblin and Soul Taker into burn staples, and turns Gift Card into a semi-nightmare. 2 Mystic Tomato search it out. 3 Magical Merchant draw into, well, anything. I thought of using Deko but ended up drawing into useless monsters too often. Finally, 2 Brain Jackers steal big monsters like Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En and Blackwing Armor Master and burn through the opponent.

Pot of Duality is a staple in the deck, as it gets Nurse and Gift Card into my hand very quickly. As if the deck didn't have enough draw power between 3 Duality, 3 Merchant, and an Allure, 3 Upstart Goblin inflict damage and let me thin the deck. 3 Messenger of Peace and Level Limit stop the opponent from attacking long enough for me to set up my combos. MST and 2 Soul Taker are removal, while Soul Taker burns on the side. Finally, Allure adds even more thinning and gives Tomatoes something more useful to do if I'm close to winning and don't need them.

Bad Reaction is the trap counterpart to Nurse, and serves the same purpose. Gift Card is straight burn, and it does put a pretty big dent in the opponent. Warnings, Bribes, and a Solemn Judgment protect my precious backrows from things like Black Rose Dragon, Royal Decree, and, worst of all, Giant Trunade. Eye lets me time these cards just right, and it burns the opponent as a bonus. Finally, Bind, Oppression, and Wall all just slow down the opponent.

Any suggestions for the deck are appreciated. ShortCircuitFTW (talk • contribs) 02:36, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
