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 Resk!, if the deckbuilder has retired.

Decks for Free! Staff Application Center
This section is for any wiki users who would like to be a part of the Decks for Free! staff, in other words, a deckbuilder for DFF. You may be given other staffing positions, should a critical staff member retires or if more help is needed on certain update projects.

'''We're going to slow down the process a little, seeing as we need 3 deckbuilders to eventually test you in terms of deck building ability, we just don't have the heavy staff needed to continue with mass hiring. You can still turn in applications, but the process will be slowed down a bit. Sorry for the trouble, guys.'''

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 Jurrac deck? I have a money limit of $300. ~


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

We'll make it a personal project and make sure that you'll be pleased with the final product. Each deckbuilder will only take one deck at a time and they will mark it by adding their name to the header of that section (See Rule 19) and will let you know when they're done with a project by posting "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) Make all requests in their own section and not directly beneath another person's request. Click here to start a new request.
 * 2) Have a direction for your deck (Examples: Dark World, Burn, Spellcaster, Bounce, etc.). Random strings of cards will not be helped.
 * 3) 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 1 is finished.
 * 4) This is a free service, but we are taking time out of our lives to help you. Be courteous and respectful to the deckbuilders, and please don't leave us waiting for you to answer a question.
 * 5) If we believe a duelist has abandoned their request, we'll place a notice on the request warning of it's removal within 24-48 hours unless some activity happens.
 * 6) Completed decks will be moved to the archive after a few days.
 * 7) Decks that are not signed with 4 tildes (~) will not be helped.
 * 8) We reserve the ability to delete any and all requests for any reason we see fit, including attitude toward deckbuilders (In DFF or outside DFF), abandonment, or failure to follow rules.
 * 9) 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 eBay, TCGPlayer, or Google Shopping. We can on request verify prices on other sites. We will automatically chose the lowest card price for you.
 * 10) 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.
 * 11) 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.
 * 12) It is highly recommended that you browse the Deck Galleries or Archives before requesting, you may find what you're looking for before requesting our assistance.
 * 13) If you saw a deck on your post, and your post is now gone, check the most recent Archive.
 * 14) 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.
 * 15) Please don't make your request title in all capitals, just the first letter.
 * 16) Please use proper spelling, grammar, and capitalization. Don't posts requests that have "I hav dek tht nds impvmt", it will be totally ignored.
 * 17) Please make an account and log in before posting a request. Mere IP signatures will no longer be accepted, because it makes it more difficult for the deckbuilders to contact you.

Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis Deck
I've had this deck for about 2 years now, ever since Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2010: Reverse of Arcadia, based on Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis and The World Tree. Now I'm looking forward to improve it in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2011: Over the Nexus but there's one condition: it has to be built taking into account the September 2011 banlist, essentially because this new banlist may have killed some strategies that would be otherwise placed in this deck such as Spore and Glow-Up Bulb.

The deck as it is already has quite a few nice combos. Even with only 1 Dandylion, Lonefire Blossom can search for it and there are 3 Lord Poison monsters to revive it. This, along with Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis, is a killer combo with The World Tree and its 2-counter destruction effect (especially since the Plant-Type monsters don't necessatily need to go to the graveyard, so even Dandylion's tokens are worth for The World Tree).

All improvements are welcome, as long as they are accepted by September 2011 banlist and don't change the point of using Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis as the ace.

 * Not sure if anyone has the game. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  22:24, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Right, I don't know if I wrote it but now I wanted to put this in the 2011 game, because I have it. And I think some people have that one. F.E.A.R. (talk • contribs) 22:32, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Out of date Empty Jar Deck
Hello deckbuilders, I'm greatful for the time you all take out to edit and improve decks for everyone in need, but now I need your help as well. I've been running my empty jar mill deck for a good 5 months, but as of recently I haven't been doing so well with it, what are some good/bad cards i should add or remove.

Thanks in advance <3 Bugzdood (talk • contribs) 16:49, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

Wolf - L&D-Dragon/Twilight Deck
Hi guys, I'm not very good at deckbuilding, but I wanted a twilight deck buillt around Light & Darkness Dragon. I can't spend a lot of money on it (let's say around 70 in dollar?) but I already have quite a lot of the classic Twilight cards. Thanks in advance! E-heroRose (talk • contribs) 20:47, May 20, 2012 (UTC)

Wolf - Darkness Assault
Hi again, this time I would like a Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode deck that also use Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon to be extreme aggro-beatdown/control deck. I would like something from Dragunity Legion or Dragons Collide or both.
 * Must also contain Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, Shooting Star Dragon, Five-Headed Dragon and Assault Counter.
 * Optionally Dark Simorgh, Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord and/or capability to bring out Majestic Star Dragon.
 * Must contain some form of piercing like number 83 or dragon's rage
 * Extra cards no more of 5$ per card.
 * If use Solidarity better, if not then Burden of the Mighty (both are optional)

thank in advanceCopperfield (talk • contribs) 02:59, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm going to be blunt: The best way to summon Stardust Assault is Flamvell. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  03:46, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Maybe, but I don't want Flamvell... that mean buy almost the entire deck, and that is not good for me... I prefer Dragunity they are also good to summon Stardust, right? or Lightpulsar combo + Phalanx or something like thatCopperfield (talk • contribs) 05:13, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

I can give this a shot, but I can already say that fitting in Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon is going to be a problem. Other than being a Red-Eyes target, its going to be a dead draw. Elite Wolf (talk • contribs) 20:39, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Good. I'm curious, what are you going to use Dragunity or Chaos Dragons or a mix? I would like to see the latest.Copperfield (talk • contribs) 19:16, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Evilswarm Rush
- Hello, if it isn't too much trouble I would like to make a request. About 2 months ago I have started dueling on duelingnetwork.com and started with an Evilswarm deck and loved it ever since. Sadly, it doesn't seem to shut down the enemy ad effectively as I would like it too. My request is for you to please upgrade my deck to be able to shut down the enemy much more efficiently. I know someone already made an Evilswarm-Dino deck but to me it just don't have the same feel. It just doesn't feel like an Evilswarm deck. Here is my deck, the site I use this on gives you every card so money and rarity are not an issue. Thank you and I hope to hear back from you soon. --RyuPhalian (talk • contribs) 00:00, May 26, 2012 (UTC)

Yuma Deck
Hey guys, long time no see. Anyway, the banlist kinda made my Yusei Synchro Deck take a dirt nap, so I thought I'd switch Protagonists. I wish to have a deck built to represent Yuma Tsukumo. I understand his deck is terrible and would never work in real life, but I just feel that there has to be some way that it can work. Granted, I have tried to make a deck like it, but I'm just stuck. (being out of the game for 6 months can do that I suppose.) Well, that is my request. Oh, and the budget limit, ummm, nothing too expensive like tour guide and all that noise. If that's doable, I thank you guys very much, if not, I perfectly understand. Thanks again fellas. Aporia&#39;s Apprentice (talk • contribs) 05:22, May 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * Tourguide recently got reprinted as a rare in battle packs, whould you still like it to be not used?
 * - Resk ( ✩ )( ☯ ) 10:29, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

Well, I wanted to avoid using her, but hey if you guys think she will help the deck, feel free to throw her in there. Aporia&#39;s Apprentice (talk • contribs) 15:37, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

Lappy - It's been a long time...
Hey, it's been a while. I just got back into this, and I thought I'd make a deck for myself. I just remembered you guys, and thought I'd get your opinions and advice. Here's my deck, it is able to get Quasar 3/4 of the time, so it's pretty consistent.

Any and all advice is welcomed and appreciated. If I could get input from as many deckbuilders as possible that would be great. Thanks in advance! Maniac56 (talk • contribs) 16:00, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

Here's the build I've been testing, it works pretty well even when it doesn't get Quasar out.

How's that look? Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 16:09, June 8, 2012 (UTC) It's pretty good, but when I dueled with yours, it wasn't as fast as mine sometimes, though I didn't think of basses, so I'll replace unknown synchron with basses. Could you try my deck on DN so you could get a good comparison and see what I mean? Maniac56 (talk • contribs) 22:17, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

I've never had a "slow" hand with mine, so I can't really imagine what you mean, but I guess if I get a chance I'll try yours out. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 18:04, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Lappy - Need help - Macro Heroes!
I've been trying to make a macro hero deck with the cards i have but I have some trouble so i came here to ask for help... Here's what I got so far:

No budget, but if you have to add something expensive please add an alternative as well so I can use that 'till i find the other one!! Thanks in advance! :)


 * Umm, sign with 4 tildes ( ~ ). Then one of us, may help. Also, this is just a note, but you seem to want to do a ton a things at once, like D.D. Burn, HERO City, and HERO Fusion, which I think is making the deck more inconsistent than it actually is. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  15:22, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Spend too much time checking if everything was right that I forgot to sign xD Anyway... if the deck's unstable try a combo that will work better.... I would mostly like something that has Macro Cosmos and other RFP cards and then use the removed Heroes to bring out the fusions.... If i'ts possible to combine it with something else then it's all good... if not do whatever is more competitive! :) Geobow (talk • contribs) 16:15, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

This is the first interesting request I've seen in a while. I'll take it. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 19:11, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Greed Quasar
Thank you for offering to explain but im quite familiar with synchron decks and even more with stardust. Anyway,the next deck request is Jack Atlas Dragon/Resonator deck focused on Red Dragon Archfiend along with Red Nova. Other Key cards are Exploder Dragonwing and Chaos King Archfiend. Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 10:50, June 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually make that a Greed Quasar deck.

Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 11:02, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

U gonna do my request now? i saw u just finish the honest one. Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 17:23, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Please be patient. We don't necessarily do the requests in the order we receive them. Also, there are three of us, and we do have lives outside of Yugioh. Even for simple requests, it usually takes us a few days unless we already have a similar version made. For more complicated stuff, it takes longer. Don't worry, we do get to everyone. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 18:08, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

ik i mean i dont see any other requests that u would do thats all. Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 18:20, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Greed Quasar demands a specific kind of deck, either a deck based on milling him off to the graveyard, and summoning him back with something like the The Dark Creator, or a deck that depends on tribute summoning him. And knowing the attitude most of us deck builders have towards tribute summoning (Unless you gain some card presence from it), I'm leaning toward the Dark Creator. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  18:39, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Finished - Cheap Lightsworn Deck
Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me build a lightsworn-esque deck. I know they aren't as good as they used to be, but I have some cards that I think might be useful that I'd like included if possible:

Honest, Card Trooper (2), Effect Veiler, Mirror of Oaths, Gozen Match.

I don't know if it would be possible, but I might be able to get my hands on a pot of avarice as well.

I'd like this deck to run as fast as possible, since my warrior beatdown is getting its ass handed to it at the moment by my mate's machinas.

Thanks.

Edit In fact, I've changed my mind. Could it just be run with a lightsworn engine and have a possible OTK?

Thanks very much, sorry for the bother. Bob40001 (talk • contribs) 15:56, June 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * So, you want a Lightsworn deck? Any budget limit? And Lightsworn OTK when they have 2 JD, and a Chaos Monster, if that's what you meant, or you can always Chaos Dragon. - - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  16:55, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

My budget is limited to about 50 quid, but I'll try to stretch it. If it's possible, would you mind giving alternatives to the more expensive cards please? Thank you so much. Bob40001 (talk • contribs) 09:01, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

Quid? -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  13:08, June 8, 2012 (UTC)

And just to make sure I understand you want a Lightsworn Deck, right? Or do you want Chaos Dragons? Chaos Dragon is pretty cheap to build since most of there cards are found in a Structure Deck. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  13:09, June 8, 2012 (UTC)

Quid - Great British Pounds Sterling. Could it be a Lightsworn deck please? I'm really sorry to be wasting your time, but thank you anyway! Bob40001 (talk • contribs) 18:00, June 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * So, 1 British Pound is around $1.50 in U.S. Dollars? Is that right? -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  18:29, June 8, 2012 (UTC)

To my knowledge, yes. Bob40001 (talk • contribs) 18:46, June 8, 2012 (UTC)

I checked prices on TCGPlayer.com, the total is around $65-70. It was $10 cheaper before I added in the Plaguespreader Zombie, but seeing as I had room (With out Plaguespreader Zombie and Synchro monsters, the total is closer to $55), I went ahead and added some Synchro monsters. Anyway, the deck plays like Lightsworn, just mill and win using JD, who is really cheap thanks to the Ra Yellow Mega Pack, I also added some more Dark Monsters, to make Chaos Socerer easier to summon, Zephyros the Elite allows you to reuse Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner, and make a quick Rank 4 Xyz Summon, if you have another Level 4 out, as well as being Chaos fodder. Anyway, the deck is cheap to build, if you want to be more careful, get the Synchros and Plaguespreader Zombie last, so you can see how much money you have left. If you see yourself getting stuck with dead Chaos Sorcerers, then drop 1. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  14:41, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Play around with the deck on Dueling Network, and see how you like it. If you seem to have trouble, post here. I'll leave this request up for a few more days. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  14:55, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much! Bob40001 (talk • contribs) 15:23, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Finished - Chain Burn Deck
In the metagame, a Chain Burn deck is shown to be one of the top tier decks. I've checked the common cards for this type of deck and I still can't figure out how this type of deck can hold its own in a Duel. So, basically, the challenge is very straightforward: building a Chain Burn deck. No limits, since I don't understand the mecanics of this deck. Thank you. F.E.A.R. (talk • contribs) 12:33, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

F.E.A.R. (talk • contribs) 12:33, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

Umm...if you don't understand how the deck mechanics, or how the deck can hold it's own, just go ask in the general or deck help forums, most people will tell you there. Basically, you activate your traps, then use Chain Strike as the last chain link, so you deal huge amounts of damage in one go. Plus, it uses defensive cards like Swift Scarecrow. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  14:58, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

I've already checked about that, and I actually found interesting. Though it started as mere curiosity, this is a real request. F.E.A.R. (talk • contribs) 18:46, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Here, it has the standard trap line-up, and I used a few Cardcar D to speed up the deck even more. What I like about Chain Strike is that is usually makes the opponent's MST and Heavy kinda useless, since they just end up adding more chain links. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  21:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

There are also other Chain Strike Burn decks in the Theme Gallery under "Burn" (Look under Letter B). -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  21:55, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Yubel Force!
Hey Deck Builders! I've been running a Yubel Deck lately and have been doing quite well with it. I love the arcana force monsters because it can either be sooo beneficial or somewhat harmful. I love anti-meta decks as well. So...yes. I would like a Yubel(Yu) Macro(Ma) Arcana force deck (force). It doesn't have to specifically have macro cosmos in it, Yuantimeta Force just... didn't seem as cool sounding. Thank you!

P.S. I would like for it to have Arcana Force: the dark ruler and/or Arcana force: the light ruler. Yubel to stop them from attacking/ screwing over any monsters they have. Arcana force for beat sticks/interesting-ness.Lunarberserk (talk • contribs) 04:43, June 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Original Section title was "Yuma Force", since this has nothing to do with Yuma, title changed to "Yubel Force". -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  18:32, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Finished - Chaos Dragons
Enigmabloom again with a request for a deck critique. Here's the deck in question:

My problem is that sometimes the deck is a bit too slow. I'd like to know if any good improvements can be made to speed things up a bit. Once it's set up it's fine, but that's where the problem lies: the set-up. Any suggestion made is welcome.

Enigmabloom (talk • contribs) 21:44, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Go more meta, your trying to play Disaster Dragon, not Chaos Dragon, there is a small difference between how you approach the decks. Anyway, take a look at these 2 Articles if you want to see something more meta: Good Decks on a Low Budget and 2nd Place Chaos Dragon Top. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  00:17, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

The two articles were great, and I think I've got a good idea for where I want to go with this. Once again, thanks for the help; this is as good as finished.
