Forum:Gladiator Beast Deck Need Tips

Heres a list of the cards in my Gladiator Beast deck. All i really need for it is Test Tiger. Mind you, 90% of this deck i pulled out of packs, so my options were limited im terms of deck making. Tell me what you think:--SepulchresApprentice (talk • contribs) 01:46, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

You need to replace bad cards with Staples. Waboku is far inferior to Threatening Roar, and Mirror Force is even better. Disarm isn't necessary for Gladiator Beasts. Parry isn't either. You need two more Gladiator Beast War Chariot because it's an amazing card. Defensive Tactics and Double Tag Team aren't that good either. You should add Solemn Judgment, Torrential Tribute, and two Bottomless Trap Hole. Colosseum - Cage of the Gladiator Beasts is useless, as are all the Gladiator Beast Equip Spell Cards and Indomitable Gladiator Beast. Lightning Vortex isn't very good. Add Dark Hole, Heavy Storm, Monster Reborn, Book of Moon, and two Forbidden Lance. Two or three copies of A HERO Lives would also be good. Gladiator Beast Secutor is bad because he can't tag out. Gladiator Beast Andal is bad for the same reason, as is Gladiator Beast Tygerius. Gladiator Beast Samnite rarely sees use, and Gladiator Beast Dimacari is too weak to be worth using. Hedge Guard adds nothing to the deck. Gladiator Beast Hoplomus should only be used at one, if at all. Gladiator Beast Equeste is good at two. You need a second Gladiator Beast Laquari. Gladiator Beast Murmillo is too weak to use any more than one. Gorz the Emissary of Darkness is also good, as is two or three Elemental HERO Prisma and Elemental HERO Stratos. You need a second Gladiator Beast Gyzarus and two Gladiator Beast Essedarii, and you don't need Gladiator Beast Gaidodiaz.

Alternatively, instead of the HERO cards, you could just use Thunder King Rai-Oh. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 16:54, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Waboku is a staple for any Glad deck. It prevents the GB from being destroyed and allows it to tag at the end of the Battle Phase.

Wrong-it's not a staple. If you use Mirror Force, you still get the Tag Out, as they were attacked. Same with Compulsory Evacuation Device and Dimensional Prison. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 18:10, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

I... Boba... You... *facepalm*. Okay, NORMALLY Boba is one of the better deckbuilders here, but in this case, ignore the following points of what he has said: "Waboku is far inferior to Threatening Roar,"Two or three copies of A Hero Lives would also be good,"two or three Elemental HERO Prisma and Elemental HERO Stratos," and "If you use Mirror Force, you still get the Tag Out, as they were attacked. Same with Compulsory Evacuation Device and Dimensional Prison."

Hero Glads just aren't as consistent as regular Glads. GBs don't tag unless the battle actually happens, so D Prison, Compulse, Mirror Force, etc. do NOT allow GBs to tag. Waboku is not a Staple for Glads, but it can be a nice card for the deck, depending on player preference. More often than not though, monster removal is better, because it lets you make a direct attack next turn, and then you can do whatever you want.

 * Seriously? I've been trying to figure out how things work with Gladiator Beasts, and there's nothing in the rulings that went either way. My bad. Sorry. Anyhow, the HERO thing is actually really good - get Gyzarus and Heraklinos in the same turn with A HERO Lives and any Gladiator Beast. You don't even need Test Tiger, although I've dueled a variant where you use Test Tiger for Xyz Summons (it was odd, but not all that bad). BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 20:51, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Actally, i like carrying Defensive Tactics, as it is equivelent to Waboku in that it lets the battle take place without damaging me, and Defensive Tactics goes back into the deck after use, so when im shuffling the deck i can redraw and suse it. Also, what do you think about side decking Imperial Iron Wall. --SepulchresApprentice (talk • contribs) 20:56, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Nah, Iron Wall hurts Retiari, the third most important main deck monster (at the moment). Waboku is better than Defensive Tactics, and you want a smaller deck so you actually end up drawing your better cards. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 20:58, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

THe deck has 42 cards, so i usually do draw what i need. I was considering Imperial Iron Wall because too often i find my self in the situation where my only Laquari is banished.--SepulchresApprentice (talk • contribs) 21:02, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

That's why should you use two or three and cut down on a lot of the other ones. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 21:04, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Defensive Tactics is more situational than Waboku, and the "recycling" effect actually hurts you, as it thickens the deck and makes you less likely to draw the cards you need in a critical situation. That extra 1-2 cards out of your deck will save you a lot more than you think it will (or ever be able to prove...). Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 21:08, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Like i said, i made this deck out of what i got in GLAS packs and such, and i didnt have access to much. i only have 1 laquari.--SepulchresApprentice (talk • contribs) 21:08, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

You can't play GBs without 2-3 Laquari. It's like trying to play GK's without Necrovalley. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 22:02, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
