Forum:Deck Guides - Decks to Choose From

Help Please
A few select duelists will be creating Deck Guides. The guides would explain how a deck works, their strengths and weaknesses, and would provide different examples and variants of the deck type. I'd like you all to post what decks you'd like to see in a guide.

Suggestions
i would like to see a guide on removal decks or an effective world lock Inygmazen 03:08, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * The sign up is invitation only so I've removed you. I'll add Macro to the list. World Lock would probably go under Arcana Force which will also be added. --Tantara 03:18, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Lightsworn, Gladiator Beasts, Zombies, and Blackwings must be added. I can cover all those deck types - not to be a "deck hog".


 * cough* Meta-decks suck and there are a bunch more original decks that are a hell lot more fun to use *cough* --Akiza&#39;sRose66 18:22, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I find themed decks so much more fun than random strings of cards (junk decks..I wonder why they're called that :P). Added BEWKs suggestions. Added Hopeless Dragon. Any other guides you all would like to see? --Tantara 18:53, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * How about Monarchs and Volcanics? Does Anti-Meta count?


 * I don't know about Anti-Meta, the category is huge (Rock STUN, Gadjet, Counter Fairy, Little City, etc.) --Tantara 19:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Anyone else? --Tantara 00:24, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * How about some general guides to doing decks using the underlooked themes, like Arcana Force or Iron Chains? Seems worth a shot. --Gadjiltron 05:08, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe guides for X-Sabers, Koa'ki Meirus and Plants?


 * Come on, guys! Just post what decks you think are difficult to make. --Tantara 14:10, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Kk.. I run are Morphtronic Deck and Phoenixian Deck with Oppression. Try those out xD not getting enough ideas for my phoenixians Akyrix 09:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

--Anti-Meta is a deck right?Can it be added?If so,I'll enter it.And if your gonna ask what type of it,all of it.(Little City,Gadjet Oppresion,etc.)How about Tele-DaD?And Psychic?

 * Anti-Meta would have to be covered in sections, or over a long period of time. I'm not sure that any of the Guidemakers would be interested in such a huge endeavor (I certainly wouldn't be). Added Morphtronic, Phoenixian is a Plant Variant, so it would be covered in the plant guide, added Psychic. DARK variants would have to be covered in two different categories (synchro/non-synchro) --Tantara (talk) 19:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Can I do the Gemini section on this? UltraSynchron 03:54, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Not yet, we have to get some things straightened out first. Like what the template will be, and what decktypes are allowed.

This is just a thought but, wouldn't it be a good idea to add Burn Decks to the list as they are worth mentioning. The only problem I can see is that they have a large number of variants (Ex. Chain Burn, Stall Burn and Bad Reaction Burn) so I'm not sure if it would too much of an endeavor. --Trivi-AM 19:50, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * That's what I'm thinking about. Maybe, if you chose to make it, you could make a Part1 and a Part2? Make sure to include Cylinder Burn in your variants, IT'S SO AMAZING. --Tantara (talk) 20:08, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Once again this is just an idea but wouldn't be a good idea to include Cloudians since they are starting to "creep up" to Meta status, despite its lack of a good draw engine etc. --Trivi-AM 22:02, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure that you guys could just add Insects, Warriors, Spellcasters and "Crystal Beasts" as well. Fawlker 01:12, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

i am applying for blackwings just look at my deck you cant deni it come on Blackwingggys 00:47, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

you have got elemental heroes but not destiny or evil

I see Evil Heroes as a sort of extension to Elemental Heroes, but I dunno. D-Heroes should warrant their own category though. --Gadjiltron 09:30, September 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree, D-Heros will replace Synchroless-DARK. Any D-Hero deck that runs synchros will go under DARK Synchro --Tantara (talk) 20:41, September 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * Aww, come on people. Please post --Tantara (talk) 00:28, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

What about a bounce deck? xD I always love those bouncy decks Akyrix 00:35, September 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Have mill decks been suggested yet? --Bluedog (Talk) 00:50, September 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Anyone else going to suggest anything? DUEL TERMINAL ARCHETYPES ARE OPEN NOW. --Tantara (talk) 00:30, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

BlackwingGuide
hey i have been waiting to hear from someone about me being the Blackwing guide so ill just wait Blackwingggys 01:20, September 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Need a few more votes, no one's voting, so it may be a while before I get back to you --Tantara (talk) 01:24, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

I suppose I'll take Plant. Where do we leave these guides, anyway? I was just recently thinking about making a "Guide to Plant Decks" anyway, and I was going to throw it on my page. --Akiza&#39;sRose66 11:31, September 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * These guides are being created by carefully selected duelists. If you'd like me to suggest you, I will. --Tantara (talk) 20:38, September 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * No one wants any other guides? --Tantara (talk) 22:57, October 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * I will do the Psychic guide, as I am nearing the completion of my Zombie guide.


 * I hope you had fun ;) Covering a whole monster-type was a bad idea. I learned that when I started fairy (still haven't finished!) --Tantara (talk) 23:14, October 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it's tough...

Deck Ideas/Suggestions
Do you have a deck that you'd like to see as a guide? If so, post. --Tantara (talk) 20:37, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Dragon deck Guide (No Hopeless)
Ok for the most part Dragon-type monsters have always have the ability to get to the field and cause major damage, however the issue was always how were the dragons going to get there. Dragons such as Tyrant dragon was overlooked because he was a complex dragon and there was no real way to have 2 dragons on the field to fulfill the tribute requirements... Until recently.


 * Totem Dragon is the best support card for Dragon theme decks. You have to play all dragons and he acts as synchro material, tribute material, and he can be used to block attacks along with Masked Dragon.


 * Masked Dragon has become the new toolbox monster card for Dragons. When his effect is activated you can search through your deck for totem dragon, debris dragon, exploder dragon, and some others that fall under the 1500 or less category. Being able to summon himself, totem, debris, and exploder dragon makes him a valuable asset to any dragon deck.


 * Debris Dragon can synchro summon only dragon type monsters, however he has the ability to grab a monster from the grave with 500 or less attack (totem dragon). Having a def of 2000 he can stay on the field long enough to synch up with your other dragons such as totem and masked produce tp produce Iron Chain Dragon, Exploder Dragonwing, Ancient Fairy Dragon, and Black Rose Dragon. Using two totem dragons you can produce level 8 synchros such as Stardust Dragon, and Red Dragon Archfiend. Trident Dragion can be summoned by using Iron Chain Dragon or any other level 6 Dragon monster


 * Exploder Dragon can rid you of opposing monsters in your way that can def touch your life points or that can be a pain such as Colossal Fighter, however they must destroy him as a result of battle. Can also be used as synchro material for a level 7 dragon monster or level 10 Trident Dragion.

Now on to the bigger Dragons. Most of the time people see BEWD (Blue Eyes White Dragon) as the overall boss monster of the day accompanied by REDMD (Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon), however this isn't the case. A boss monster espicaly a Dragon boss monster is often times troublesome because of the fact of how they can affect the entire field. After close inspection and research on the current popular decks there are few that stick out that most have just kicked to the side. ladies and Gents i present to you the *3 Kings


 * REDMD is def King number 1. He is able to summon Dragons around and can present trouble to alot of opposing deck such as GB, LS, BW, and other decks not mentioned. He can be special summoned using his own effect or tribute summoned by the effect of totem dragon making him extremely broken in most circumstances. With the ability to summon others to the field he is a dragon that every dragon duelist would want to make a staple in their deck.


 * Tyrant Dragon happens to be King number 2. An annoying level 8, Fire, Dragon monster he can be SS'd from the hand by REDMD or tributed with the effect of totem dragon setting up for something very dangerous early game. He can negate and destroy traps cards that target him (icarus attack) and when your opponent wants to try to swarm on you his continuous effect allows him to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. When reviving him from the grave you must tribute a dragon type monster on the field, however you have REDMD who allows another summon along with your normal summon. Just normal summon a small dragon, and tribute it to summon Tyrant from the grave.


 * lastly the 1 Dragon that naturally gives everyone a headache LaDD (Light and Darkness Dragon). This a Dragon that just a push over or something to not be worried about. He can make your opponent waste their hand to rid themselves of this card, and on top of that you get to summon another monster REDMD, or any other dragon that you have in your grave.

Since there is alot more typing to add i will finish this later on tonite when i get the chance- My name on here is King Bahamut
 * Hey man, we really appreciate your post, but alot must happen before you make this guide. Please, save whatever you have typed out on a Microsoft Word page, and wait up. You first must be approved. Once again, I think your analysis of the cards is solid, but there is no guarantee your work will be accepted. Hold on for now, and save your work. Sorry.
