Forum:Spider Deck

Hmm... I've done Fortune Ladies, so what's next? Of course - Spiders! Good ol' Rudger's (DAMNYOU4KIDS, IT'S RUDGER, NOT ROMAN!) favorite archetype is here to show you what's what.

Yeah, it's basically about switching your opponent's monsters into DEF position. The first monster pick is Ehren, Lightsworn Monk. Odd? Perhaps, but she can take advantage of the opponent's DEF monsters, and mills the deck, which is important; many of the Spiders' best effects come from milling. Magical Mallet is an insect and mills the deck heavily. Plaguespreader benefits from a milled deck as well. Then, Jutte Fighter switches my opponent's monsters into DEF position and acts as a tuner. Then come the spiders: Spyder Spider (bad pun, Konami; bad pun) searches and swarms the field. Mother Spider clears out my opponent's field when it's special summoned, probably clearing the way for a special summon. Sacrifice Spider can literally clear my opponent's field out. Finally, Ground Spider can block attacks and such, so it's a good pick. Oh, and another 3 non-Spiders; Sasuke also takes advantage of DEF-position monsters and acts as a beatstick, while Black Shining G is anti-Synchro tech.

For spells, Enemy Controller comes first, being able to block attacks and steal my opponent's monsters. Rudger would be proud. Spider Web Field gives all of my opponent's monsters the bad part of Goblin Attack Force's effect; it's a great slowdown card. Reinforcement of the Army searches Ehren, Jutte and Sasuke as needed. Worm Bait works as a great blocker. Foolish Burial is very selective milling. Soul Release can mess up my opponent's DARK count for DAD (I've played against Blackwings packing it); screw up the Lightsworn count for Judgment Dragon; and so on. It's a great tech card, but why is it here? Mother Spider doesn't work with non-Insects in the graveyard, so getting them out of the way is a good idea. Then, the staples; Monster Reborn, Trunade, MST, and Brain Control.

For traps, Security Orb is attack blocking that the opponent will think twice before getting rid of, due to its effect. Mirror Force can stop a swarm of attacks, but the way this deck is built means that Dark Mirror Force might catch as many monsters - especially if I chain Enemy Controller or Ground Spider's effect to it. Waboku can slow my opponent down and works in the face of Honest and Kalut (good times; baiting out a Kalut and using Waboku to render it useless). Dark Bribe is negation.

The Synchros come in because of 3 tuners, though I'm not so sure how many I'll be able to bring out... Well, anyways, tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 03:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)Runer5h
