Forum:Christmas, everyone!

I do love the holiday season... don't you? The smell of the Christmas tree... or the sight of the menorah if you're Jewish... getting together with family and friends to exchange gifts... truly, the most wonderful time of the year.

On a completely unrelated note, I've got a new deck.

Odd? Yes indeed. But it might just work.

The first monster is Manju - three of him. Also, there's a Senju. They search out the five ritual monsters in the deck - Demise, King of Armageddon, Dark Master - Zorc, and The Masked Beast. I also have 3 Djinn Presider, because it has a very good effect and high ATK.

Then comes the bizarre Dark combo-y part. The key here is two Sky Scourge Norleras and three Phantom of Chaos. Using these two cards I can wipe the field and hand, then get a card. And I might even be able to summon Norleras in this build because of the LIGHT Fairies and DARK Fiends... but if I can't, there's Phantom of Chaos. It can copy the super-wipe effect, and many other effects. For instance, Dark Armed Dragon - the DARK trump card, which is one of the deck's win conditions. Dark Grepher and Arma Knight dump cards into the graveyard. Chaos Sorcerer can be summoned with Senju or Manju and the many DARKs, or be copied with Phantom of Chaos. Dark Creator is a great swarm card that also can be copied with Phantom. Finally, Dimensional Alchemist can be a beatstick and is a retrieval card.

Now, the spells make this deck make sense. There's 3 Trade-In and 2 Allure... you see, one of the main combos of the deck is to summon Manju/Senju and grab a Ritual monster, then dump it for Trade-In or Allure to set up later combos. For instance, I can dump Demise via Trade-In, to remove with Phantom of Chaos and wipe the field. Dark Master Zorc and Masked Beast have much the same purpose. Trade-In has 9 targets in this deck and is thus very good, while Allure has pretty much the whole deck to work with. Contract with the Abyss is searchable with Manju and can summon any of my five rituals - hence the Djinni Presiders. Reinforcement of the Army allows for instant searching of Dark Grepher and Armageddon Knight. MST and Heavy are obvious - finally, Foolish Burial is a staple in a deck such as this.

There's only three traps - all of them are Reckless Greed. I need lots of draw power in a deck such as this.

So, the deck might seem ungainly, but I think it should work well enough. The main idea is to use the draw power to dump powerful monsters into the grave or RFG zone - preferably the grave - where they can be used with Phantom of Chaos and Dimensional Alchemist. Tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 19:33, December 13, 2009 (UTC)Runer5h
