Forum:Rock Bounce

Most of these cards are pretty standard for a rock deck, but then again rock decks arent very standard. Therefore, I'll try to explain the purpose and hopefully you all can suggest a few cards that'll fit in with the strategy. Golem Sentry and Guardian Sphinx are the main bouncers, and the various traps that stall for either 1 turn or several (Ordeal of a Traveler, Compulsory Evacuation Device, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow, Magic Cylinder, Draining Shield, Mirror Force, Astral Barrier, Swords of Revealing Light) are used to get me a field presence. Once there are at least 2 Golem Sentrys or 1 Guardian Sphinx on the field, I can return monsters even if they attack to flip the cards faceup, or, if they don't, I'll be returning more monsters than they summon. Moai Interceptor Cannons and Wandering Mummy can attack then flip into defense mode, and Wandering Mummys effect forces the opponent to guess who he's attacking (More useful when they can't do over 2000dmg and Moai is on the field). Throw in Creature Swap, Exchange, and Spring of Rebirth as side cards that help me keep an advantage at my opponent's expense.

Thus ends the main purpose of the deck. The rest of the cards are mainly for obscure support.

Spirit Barrier and Clock Tower Prison, combined with Astral Barrier, allow flip summons to go uninterrupted. Sand Moth is my defense against field-clearers and I have the option of killing him myself with Torrential Tribute. Koa'ki Meiru Guardian is a strong attacker with an awesome negation effect. Castle Gate never dies. Big Piece Golem is a rock Cyber Dragon, though he can't be special summoned. Megarock Dragon is a great lategame sweeper (Which is why none of my other monsters remove cards from play). Inaba White Rabbit hides behind my defenses and deals damage while abusing Spring of Rebirth and Mage Power can turn any monster into a terrifying attacker. So, like I said at the beginning before I decided I had too much free time and could just explain my reasoning for each and every card, any and all help is appreciated. To those who take the time to reply, thank you. It means a lot. 68.98.163.61 03:55, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
