DECKS FOR FREE STATUS: ''' Open! '''

Please make sure to check the Archives or Deck Galleries FIRST, before requesting a deck. If the deck requested is already in the Archives/Deck Galleries, the request will be marked as Finished.

''' Please note, any deck that doesn't follow the guidelines below will be removed. '''

If your deck request was removed due to inactivity, feel free to re-request it.

If you have any questions regarding an archived deck, feel free to leave questions on the deckbuilder's talk page, or that of Brooklyn, if the deckbuilder has retired.

General Information
This page is dedicated to helping all duelists out there that need help with their decks. If you're a duelist that needs some help, we'll build you a deck. All you have to do is post here and tell us what kind of deck you want and how much money you're willing to spend getting the cards. If you already have a deck, if you post it in the Deck Template form, we'll revise it and give you our insight. We'll also make a side deck on request, but most likely you'll be directed to this list.

Example Requests

 * Ex1: Hi, could you make me a Butterspy deck? I have a money limit of $300. ~


 * Ex2: Hey, would you look at my Butterspy deck for me? ~

We'll make it a personal project and try to make sure that you're pleased with the final product. Each deckbuilder will only take one deck at a time and they will mark it by adding their part of their username to the header of that section and will let you know when they're done with a project by replacing their name with "Finished" on the request.

Please note that it's your job to collect the cards, our job is to create the perfect decklist for you.

Rules and Guidelines

 * 1) Please check the top of this page to see if Decks for Free! is "Open", if we are "Closed", then we will not accept requests.
 * 2) Make all requests in their own section and not directly beneath another person's request. Click here to start a new request.
 * 3) Have a direction for your deck (Examples: Dark World, Burn, Spellcaster, Bounce, etc.). Random strings of cards will not be helped. Remember that if you ask for a generic theme, such as Swarm or Chaos, you're leaving your deck up to the deckbuilder's preferences. If you don't want that, be more specific in what you want.
 * 4) Please don't post a request and ask for a Meta deck, you can find a decklist for almost any meta deck on most major Yu-Gi-Oh article sites, like TCGPlayer.com or Alter Reality Games. However, if you want to post a request for a meta deck, but want a unique twist to the deck to make it less meta, you may post that, just have something in mind when you do post.
 * 5) Give us at least 2-3 weeks notice if you plan to take a deck to a tournament, it is very difficult to make a deck for a tournament with only a few days of notice.
 * 6) Remember that we do build decks on a budget, but we can't make a great deck for under $20, the modern world doesn't work like that any more, so try to have a budget closer to $40 or $50.
 * 7) Do not ask for more than one deck at a time as others will have to wait longer for the deckbuilder to get to them. If you do post more than 1 request, we will close one of them, until the other one is finished, or just remove it. Also, don't post many requests back-to-back, as that creates more work as well.
 * 8) You may request a deckbuilder to help you, please note that it will only ensure that deckbuilder's help. It will not ensure the immediate help of that deckbuilder.
 * 9) This is a free service, but we are taking time out of our lives to help you. Be courteous and respectful to us, and please don't leave us waiting for you to answer a question.
 * 10) If we believe a duelist has abandoned their request, we'll place a notice on the request warning of it's removal within 24 hours unless some activity happens, but don't count on a notice, as a request can be removed without one.
 * 11) Decks that are not signed with 4 tildes (~) will not be helped, and the request may be removed without a notice.
 * 12) We reserve the ability to delete any and all requests for with or without a reason, including having an attitude toward a deckbuilder(s) on this wiki, abandonment, or failure to follow rules.
 * 13) Completed decks will be moved to the archive after a few days. Also, if you saw a deck on your post, but your post is now gone, check the most recent archive.
 * 14) We expect that you'll have access to and/or be able to buy cards from online retailers or hobby stores, we base all card prices on TCGPlayer or Google Shopping. We can, on request, verify prices on other sites. We will automatically chose the lowest card price for you.
 * 15) This page is not a page for people to post their opinions. Please, if you want to give your opinion on someone's deck, post it on the user's talk page.
 * 16) It is highly recommended that you browse the deck galleries or archives before requesting, you may find what you're looking for there before requesting our assistance. Also, please try to update the builds in the archives or galleries by yourself before asking us, you may ask us if you don't know how to update a deck, but it helps us if you do update an old deck by yourself.
 * 17) Please post all requests at the bottom of this forum, and not at the top of the Requests section, this is for archival purposes, and makes it easier on the staff.
 * 18) Please use proper spelling, grammar, and capitalization. Don't posts requests that have "I hav dek tht nds impvmt", it will be removed without further consideration. This also applies to the title of your request.
 * 19) Please make an account and log in before posting a request. Mere IP signatures will not be accepted, because it makes it more difficult for the deckbuilders to contact you. Making an account is simple and easy, just go to the top of the page and click on “Create an account”, then follow the simple instructions. Requests signed by with mere IP addresses will be given 24 hours to make an account.
 * 20) Remember to use a Template:Decklist for all requests, if you are posting your own deck. You can also post a Screen Shot of your deck from Dueling Network, if that's quicker. But a template is preferred.
 * 21) Please do not ask about the status of your request. When a deckbuilder has taken your request they will tell you that they have taken it, and you'll see a part of their username in the request title. Again, please don't ask about the status, but do at times comment on the deck, otherwise it may be removed because there is no activity from you or a deckbuilder.

ANY REQUEST THAT DOES NOT FOLLOW THESE RULES WILL BE GIVEN 24 HOURS TO COMPLY.

Finished - Vanillas
I know the forum is currently closed, so if I have to wait until it's open for a response I will. If not, I want to request a Normal Monster Deck. The only rules are that i don't want Ojamas and Effect Monsters can be added if absolutely necessary. Thanks. IlversayJ (talk • contribs) 06:04, February 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Do you want to have Beast/Beast-Warrior Vanillas? You have a perfect excuse to run Horn of the Phantom Beast, Skill Drain, Heat Wave, Heart of the Underdog, Common Charity/White Elephant's Gift, and if you want, I can throw in The Seal of Orichalcos. But then again you can pretty much run all those except Horn in almost any Vanilla deck. But do you have something to narrow it down, like a type preference, or something? -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  03:03, February 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * The Beast/Beast Warrior build sounds good. IlversayJ (talk • contribs) 15:17, February 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Did you have a budget? -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:36, February 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * No budget is necessary. IlversayJ (talk • contribs) 05:38, February 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * I almost forgot, could you update the deck for the March 2013 ban list? IlversayJ (talk • contribs) 16:05, February 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Was planning to do that anyway, just seemed like the logical thing to do. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:26, February 21, 2013 (UTC)

This deck is amazing, and has a decent chance against the meta stuff next March, as long as your side deck is up to snuff. I decided to main 3 Skill Drain and 2 Heat Wave, but along with that you can side in Soul Drain and a few Effect Veiler, that should help fight off a lot of crazy stuff next March. Use a standard extra deck, it's sometimes useful for when you don't get Seal out on the field. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  00:21, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Bob (and others who can help =D) - FredCat's Phantom Beastcraft Deck
Hello, this deck don't need a budget and is running under March 2013 banlist. So it's free to be fixing and improving - Lately I had running into the clumsy hand while playing with this recipe. Here's an image. I am kindly to posting the recipe in Decktemplate so anyone can understand the recipe easily.

That's pretty much it for my current knowledge. Thank you for taking your time to checking this recipe out and tell me what I had done wrong. As you can see, it's heavily base on summoning Token via "Mecha Phantom Beast" Effect/Xyz Monsters and using them in various ways - such as destroying opponent's cards, give use for Level Adaption, counter the moves and even protecting the "Mecha Phantom Beast" Monsters themselves, except for Tokens. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  13:05, February 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hopefully, someone else can help you Fred, sadly, I don't have enough experience with the archetype. Sorry, mate. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  01:16, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Howdy Fred. I must confess, I'm not too much of an expert with these cards so I'm not too sure how much help I can be. For starters, your monsters appear alright to me along with your Extra Deck; I'm sure "Sangan" would have been helpful in this deck! =D


 * In terms of your Spells and Traps, I'm noticing a fair few odd cards which do look a little out of place and otherwise conditional. For example, "Void Trap Hole"; might it be worth trading that in for another Bottomless? In my opinion, you want to maximise your chances of drawing a useable card during every draw phase. That's why I'm a fan of the splashable staples to be honest; just to get you out of jail when you're feeling down and out. You could possibly remove "Gravity Blaster" for say another "Mirror Force" or a 3rd "MST". You might even consider throwing in a "Birthright" for field advantage.


 * We also mustn't forget to side the obligatory "Road to all thing bright and beautiful :) Sorry I couldn't be an awful lot of help; I too am not an expert with this archetype. I have left this request open to the other deckbuilders to see if they can give further guidance. 10:31, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sound good, but you forgot that I am following March 2013 - which mean no "Critter"; he's banning in that list. And why "Birthright" if I am running heavy on Effect Monsters, with barely enough space for Vanilla Monsters? I can accept that if you meant it for "Call of the Haunted", which is flexible version of "Birthright". -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  11:28, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Replied to my silly mistake on your talk page =D 11:46, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Here's the current recipe, after heed the advice and details of Bob456's. I don't post the Extra Deck for Main because they remains same as above.

Upgrading Gurren Lagann
Hi guys, it's me again. I was simply wondering if you kind fellows can help me by "upgrading" the Gurren Lagann deck I had requested years ago to the current banlist. It got hit last ban list, but I had quit before that so I didn't care. However, I would like to see this deck make a comeback. Here's the list I was given:

Anything you guys can do to keep the theme and make it competitive, if possible, would be nice. Thanks again guys! Aporia&#39;s Apprentice (talk • contribs) 05:52, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Maybe you could ask User:Resk? She's the one that made it, and I remember, I was here at the time as well. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  18:13, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Elemental Dragons Deck
hey I'm back from the network and a deck caught my eye. its the incarnate dragons. they at first glance look like they dont support each other but in reality work really well by using cost to full fill conditions so i was wondering can you build me an elemental dragons deck that uses these Elemental Dragon well. Killerman3333 (talk • contribs) 08:02, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Putting them all together honestly clogs the deck, the fire one is better for fire kings, while the water one is better for Mermails. It would probably be better of you picked a single one.-- Evolution   Is The Key   08:40, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

well it might seem that way at first but with their effects they quickly replace themselves. also as the march list is out it should be easy to format this to that format. while maintaining hand advantage and not using their discard abilities as that will just clog the deck it can be a most intriguing deck. also by running red-eyes darkness it makes it easy to pull off the dragons refueling ability as well as spells and traps that banish/summon them. Killerman3333 (talk • contribs) 08:53, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid I don't agree. Though you may want a second deckbuilder's opinion.-- Evolution   Is The Key   08:55, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

that is fine.Killerman3333 (talk • contribs) 09:32, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi, on this, I agree with Killerman, if you can get those dragons to the grave quickly, it seems possible to make a decent deck. Not really with their self discarding effect, but just to banish the others and swarm with the Elemental dragons (maybe even use for Xyz summon?). I'm too busy this week for deckbuilding and testing, but if it's still an open question next Saturday, I will make it. Nephthy (talk • contribs) 09:55, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

どうもありがとうございました Killerman3333 (talk • contribs) 10:01, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. This certainly sounds like an interesting deck and for me - it will either win or lose. If you can get the balance between the cards right, then it should be rather competitive. Nephthy seems to have a plan laid out, so I was thinking of leaving it to him; he has more idea of this than I do! =D 10:34, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

yes it seems that way because with the effect You can banish 2 other monsters that are "attribute" and/or Dragon-Type from your hand and/or Graveyard; Special Summon this card from your hand or Graveyard. they seem fast and with seven star sword they can gain even more advantage. Killerman3333 (talk • contribs) 10:39, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

here is what i have so far

Killerman3333 (talk • contribs) 11:38, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * You can also just banish a copy with Gold Sarcophagus to search out almost any Dragon you need. I personally have a build that just focuses on Blaster and Volcanic Shell. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  13:55, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

ya i figured out Gold Sarcophagus was good for searching a little too late also i did not include the extra deck as i thought it would be obvious. i have decoy in there for when duels get out of hand. Killerman3333 (talk • contribs) 14:04, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
