Forum:Deck Guide/D-Hero/Non-Synchro

by Flushy

Introduction to the Archetype
This is a old archetype, used by Edo Phoenix. This is a very powerful archetype which generates alot of field/hand advantage, for the player to win the game in just a few turns. No doubt that it is fast, it is also deadly when combined with other Dark counterparts such as Dark Armed Dragon,for its destructive power, or sometimes, The Dark Creator for a swarm.

Many people combined this archetype with Synchro summoning, making them in to very strong synchro decks such as the one which was killed in March 2009, Tele-DAD, when Destiny Hero - Malicious hit 2 for its synchro powers. The infamously powerful perfect circle, was stopped by the September 2008 list, where Destiny Hero - Disk Commander was forbidden.

Suprisingly, for most decks, they are just at strong when they are at their most basic form, whereas Destiny Hero, they are stronger at Hybrids then basic forms.

Hence, I am writing a guide for these Destiny heros. Are you ready to GET HOLD OF THE POWER?

'' This is only for people who want to build decks with Destiny heros, but without synchro. I will be making a Dark synchro deck, which might revolve around Dark types/Destiny Hero after this guide is completed. ''

Cost
This deck varies from a wide range, varying from different variants. From Singapore, in Sing dollars, it might cost at least $200, if you include staples like Destiny Draw, Destiny Hero - Malicious and Allure of Darkness in every D-Hero deck you make.

Staples
These are the cards that most people play in standard D-Hero decks, regardless of variants. You are using a Dark-type archetype, why the hell would you not play this? A 2.8k beatstick with a destructive effect. This is a tier-1 card that most tier-1 deck uses (unless you are playing Lightlord). So, say yes to this magnificent card.
 * Dark Armed Dragon

In Yu-Gi-Oh, Draw means power, in current meta game. So having Destiny Draw gives you a big advantage over other archetypes that do not have their own Draw cards. But, you have 2 of them! Allure of Darkness can be played due to you having a hell load of dark-type monsters. You are at advantage over other decks as you have more variants of Draw engine over others, where they usually have only 1.
 * Destiny Draw/Allure of Darkness

Needless to say, lets you pull out your toolbox of heroes, from Destiny Hero - Dogma to puny Destiny Hero - Fear Monger. Nevertheless, its second effect is also awesome. Everything is limited for a reason.
 * Elemental Hero Stratos

With an average stats of 1.5k attack, it has an awesome effect. This card gives you a free graveyard return or another Stratos summon, which can help you with recycling your heroes. Remember fellow hero counterparts, protect your Ocean, its one of your sources of power.
 * Elemental Hero Ocean

Needless to say, this cute and friendly critter is here to help you, by pulling out puny heroes like Destiny Hero - Fear Monger, Destiny Hero - Malicious.
 * Sangan

Some Destiny Hero decks are graveyard-based, so, can't say no to this guy.
 * Dark Grepher

Only, only, if you are playing Dark Grepher, otherwise I'll say no to this card at any situation.
 * Necro Gardna

Most of the time, it is good to see tuners. You can do 8s very easily with Malicious and any level 2 tuners. However, at this guide, we'll pull it off first.
 * Tuners

Card Choices not to play
Since D-Hero hybrids are stronger then its pure state, there's no reason that why this card should be played in every single D-Hero variant unless for a valid reason. And I mean, [Debris Dragon|[a very valid reason]].
 * Destiny Hero - Blade Master

Hmmm... A good card effect. But, retarded. Your opponent would whack this card first without hesitation. And effect destruction is another thing that most players add into their deck, hence, I don't see a need for playing this card. Furthermore, Swords of Revealing Light + suiciding your own heroes would be stupid, unless again, for a valid reason.
 * Destiny Hero - Captain Tenacious

A fair card, but not to be played in an aggro-deck like Destiny hero - hybrids.
 * Destiny Hero - Defender

I was wondering, why was this card made in the first place.
 * Destiny Hero - Departed

To be continued...
