Forum:Decks for Free!

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) 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.
 * 11) 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.
 * 12) 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.
 * 13) 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.
 * 14) If you saw a deck on your post, and your post is now gone, check the most recent Archive.
 * 15) 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.
 * 16) 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.
 * 17) Please don't make your request title in all capitals, just the first letter of each word in that title.
 * 18) Please use proper spelling, grammar, and capitalization. Don't posts requests that have "I hav dek tht nds impvmt", it will be totally ignored.
 * 19) 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. 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.
 * 21) Please do not ask about the status of your request. When a deckbuilder has taken your request, their tag will be added to the header (Resk, Ace, Lappy, Wolf,or Blaze), and when it is finished, the deckbuilder's tag will be replaced with "Finished".

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

Wolf - Macro Deck-out/Beat-em
Hey, if you don't mind, I'd like a macro deck, with a way to deck the opponent out when I want to have fun. If you don't mind, keep the solemns to 1 each. Maniac56 (talk • contribs) 10:16, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Judgment kinda has to be at 1. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 17:57, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I should have said that better. I meant that I want just 1 solemn warning, along with a solemn judgement. Maniac56 (talk • contribs) 11:23, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Do you want the primary win condition to be decking the opponent out? And do you want it to use Macro Cosmos, or for it to be Macro-like? Elite Wolf (talk • contribs) 06:37, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm usually on more than that. I want it to use macro cosmos, but I just want a few needle worms and necrofaces added in. I'll tell you why. I'm a duelist that likes competition, but also likes to see your face when I got rid of your best cards. So no, the win condition should be battle, with some help from a d.d. dynamite or 2, while having some fun by banishing some of their best cards Maniac56 (talk • contribs) 22:41, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

Athena OTK/Restriction Deck
(Note: I only use this for Traditional Format, as some cards in the Deck are on the Forbidden, Limited, or Semi-Limited lists. Also, I don't spend money on cards very often, so be sure to include a few alternates.)

I had a customized Athena OTK Deck at one point last year, but I stopped after the people I Dueled kept complaining that it was an unfair Deck, even after I explained that the loop was a Controlled Loop and was therefore legal in both Traditional and Advanced Format. I recently rebuilt with more cards to restrict the opponent, allowing me to put the OTK into effect without giving them much of a chance to retaliate. As for a revision, it must:

More later, possibly.
 * Focus on the Athena OTK
 * Ensure that my opponent cannot stop me from using said OTK (or at least give sufficient protection)
 * Not contain too many duplicates
 * Have some alternatives for tough-to-find cards

Side Deck:
 * Buster Blader

New requests go at the bottom. I've moved it for you. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 17:57, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Also, could I find out who's revising my Deck list?

Samzapp (talk • contribs) 04:52, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

No one, yet. You'll know you're being helped when someone's tag is added to the header of your request. For example, if I had taken your request, the header would read "Lappy - Athena OTK/Restriction Deck". Also, if you could give us an approximate budget, that'd be very helpful. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 05:55, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Alright. As for the budget, I usually set aside $5 or so each week for buying cards, so the maximum-cost set I can get in a single week is the Ra Yellow Mega Pack, unless I save the money for two or more weeks. I have tons of cards already, though, so I'll probably have a lot of the cards on the revised list either way. Also, I don't like buying individual cards.

Samzapp (talk • contribs) 06:00, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Added and replaced some cards. These revisions are marked in bold.

Samzapp (talk • contribs) 04:11, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

One more thing, I don't have very many duplicates, so that would be good to take into consideration when revising my Deck list.

Samzapp (talk • contribs) 00:29, June 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * You have 57 cards? What the heck? Most decks have only have around 40 cards, do you really need 57? -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  01:28, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

I don't really mind how many cards there are, as long as it's between 40 and 60 (that goes for any revisions as well).

Samzapp (talk • contribs) 03:31, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

Made a few more changes. Also, I'll be setting aside $10 instead of the usual $5 this week.

Samzapp (talk • contribs) 23:07, June 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah I have almost no idea where to start with this, since the deck closest to this is Athena Burn, but for that you need 2-3 Athena. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:23, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

I added some guidelines, so that should help at least a little. I'll see if I can compile a giant list of every card I have, but I won't be able to finish it since I'm on vacation for the next few days.

Samzapp (talk • contribs) 23:30, June 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * I just don't think the deck is possible, as it stands now. Even the deck being in Traditional Format isn't enough. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  03:19, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Wolf - Vennominaga/Cosmic Fortress Gol'gar control
we meet again Decks for Free! I love the 2 cards featured in the headline, as vennominaga is my most favorite card in all of yugioh alongside her loyal servent, vennominon. i also love the boss card of aliens, cosmic fortress, as he can act as a giant trunade (infinate amount of times). the type of deck im looking to build (as suggested in the headline), is a control deck that uses both aliens, and worms (while being able to make explosive plays). i would like to have getting the "boss" cards (vennominaga/Vennominon and Cosmic Fortress Gol'gar) out onto the feild as safely and quickly as possible. although the worms are a great archtype, just like aliens, they also very slow. could you help me out please? FlameLordD19 (talk • contribs) 01:01, June 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * DFF is closed for right now, you're request will most likely be put on hold until its re-opened. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 14:55, June 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not mixing them, they need decks to be built around them. Otherwise kinda pointless, unless Resk can think of a way. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  15:08, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

oops, my bad. i want it to be built more on the alien side then the worm side because aliens (in nature) are much more aggressive then the worms, but i would like to run worms that can control the field like yagan, victory, etc. and besides, i would probably have to run a foolish burial and 2 snake rains for the soul sake of speeding up the deck and dumping the required monsters off to the grave.FlameLordD19 (talk • contribs) 23:30, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

........so, are any of you guys able to help me at the moment? FlameLordD19 (talk • contribs) 00:57, June 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * At the moment, I just don't feel like doing this request, seems like too much to mix. Maybe Wolf or Blaze could take it up? However, I will look into the decks and see if there is something workable. I'll do the research over the weekend. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  01:32, June 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * I can attempt this today at some point, however it'll need me to look over the archetypes (not too familiar with any of them right now). I'll start working on it later though. If I can figure out a way to at least start the mix, I will take this over completely. Sound good? BlazeLordX (talk • contribs) 14:18, June 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Not sure if your talking to me, but go for it? -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  15:50, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks BlazeLordX! just remember the main goals of the deck: Summon the boss monsters ASAP (Vennominon/Vennominaga and/or Golgar) and maintain control of the feild. im not sure if you would consider these choices to add to the deck, but here are some of my preferences (they arent worms, but they work well with them): Gale Lizard and Des Feral Imp. FlameLordD19 (talk • contribs) 20:24, June 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * After several attempts, adding the Worms in is hard. The only Worm which possibly can be added without requiring too much focus on the Worms and therefore forcing out Vennominon and Vennominaga is Yagan and possibly Hope for draw power. Otherwise, it's kinda hard. The Aliens and Vennoms both need a good amount of space in the deck. BlazeLordX (talk • contribs) 01:23, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

i guess, i would prefer it to be more alien oriented then worm oriented considering aliens are much more aggressive and faster (especially since W Nebula metorite helps out light reptiles) FlameLordD19 (talk • contribs) 02:49, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

I was really hoping I wouldn't have to do this request, but it looks like I'm giving this one a shot. Elite Wolf (talk • contribs) 07:25, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

come up with any bright ideas or na?

The deck is coming along, but I won't be able to finish the deck until about a week (considering the build and free time). I will let you know if anything important comes up. Elite Wolf (talk • contribs) 19:35, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the update!75.87.200.221 (talk) 20:42, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

So hows the deck going? i trust it is comming well.

He said to give him a week, not 2 days. Just give him time, he'll finish it soon enough. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  14:54, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

So this is what's going on with the deck: mixing 3 different deck types (which has no synergy with each other) destroys the deck before it's even built. Each of the 3 themes work better as a pure deck, but completely fails when put together. What we can do is make an Alien deck that can bring out Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes, but it would not include the Worm archetype (as it conflicts with the Alien strategy). Otherwise, the deck is just going to be a pure theme deck. Elite Wolf (talk • contribs) 02:44, July 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's what me and Wolf have been talking about. The need for Worms, just doesn't work, also, if you want to know, HERO + Alien works. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  02:47, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

alright then, sorry for rushing this btw, pure alien it is. I would like it if I could bring out vennominaga and/or gol'gar out ASAP to control the field. my reason for wanting to be pure alien is so that i could use cards like vipers rebirth and offerings to snake deity without worrying about anihilating the use of those awesome cards that support the theme so well. also, would W Nebula Meteorite work in this deck too or are the attributes too diverse?FlameLordD19 (talk • contribs) 03:53, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Finished - Macro monarch
Would it be possible to request a Macro monarch deck with Synchro with or without XYZ that can stand up to fast paced decks like junkDoppel or gadget decks and high destruction rate twilight decks. No limit, just no Tour guides or maxx c Epytotorp (talk • contribs) 07:18, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

You could request it, but Macro Monarchs aren't fast enough to handle Twilight (The Macro Stuff can help, but Lyla and Ryko suck...), they might have a small chance against the others. Personally, your better off making Sea Lancer Frogs. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  21:16, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm.. What about anti meta with macro? I kind of want to stick with the theme macro because its remove from play and not many expect a underplayed theme.. Epytotorp (talk • contribs) 05:43, July 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Anti-Meta, well...anti-meta is slow. I know Macro wrecks a bunch of decks, but there aren't a ton of decks that can use it. Maybe Malefics and stuff like that, but Lancer Frogs is really good (Underplayed as well), gives you access to Obelisk/Slifer and a 2700 ATK Sea Lancer (Bigger than most stuff today, only BLS and REDMD are bigger). I'll think about it. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  12:42, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, I see... Sea Lancer deck would be better off instead of macro that can stand up to fast paced decks? If you think so, Then I would like to see a Sea Lancer deck please. Also do the deck use Monarchs also or is the deck better off not using the Monarchs? Epytotorp (talk • contribs) 04:56, July 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * The deck also uses a few Monarchs, not a bunch, but at least 3-4. Will post deck later. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  18:50, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

Here, this should work fine: The basic idea is simple, banish your frogs with Ronintoadin, tribute a Ronintoadin for a Sea Lancer, use Sea Lancer to equip your banished frogs, making Sea Lancer 2300, and then use the frogs to make Gachi Gachi Gantetsu to power him to 2700 ATK, which is really easy to do with 2 Ronintoadin and his frog friends in your graveyard. Salvage helps get back Swap Frog and Dupe Frog for searches, or to dump more frogs into the grave. Sea Lancer is the heart and focus of the deck, but Caius and Dust Spirit can really hurt when used right, especially Dark Dust. Light and Darkness Dragon and a God card for back-up is cool too. That's basically it. Also, Treacherous Trap Hole can be swapped for a Pot of Avarice. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  21:34, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, is there a different card I could use instead of effect veiler and the god cards? Might not be able to get my hands on any of those anytime soon. Epytotorp (talk • contribs) 06:41, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

Use Forbidden Chalice for Effect Veiler, and Obelisk is around $5, since he was reprinted in Battle Pack: Epic Dawn, but if you can't get Obelisk, then Destiny HERO - Plasma is alright, he's not immune to a bunch of stuff like Obelisk, but he's not bad. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  13:16, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

Wind-Up Inzektor
Hello deck builders i need some help with a deck update due to new cards. i have no cost limit so here we go. i need an updated version of a wind-up/inzektor deck try to keep the deck as legal as possible. --Killerman3333 (talk • contribs) 00:39, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

as no one has touched this yet i need Win-Zectors V.Resk (Pre-Wind-up Shark) updated to the current format and tweaked to be alittle faster than it already is. --Killerman3333 (talk • contribs) 09:12, July 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Do you want the deck with, or without Tour Guides? Elite Wolf (talk • contribs) 19:38, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

without please if it does not effect the speed and power --Killerman3333 (talk • contribs) 22:22, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

No, I'm alright. I was able to build a good side deck Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 16:21, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

Lappy Requested - Wind-Up Xyz Rush
Hey Deckbuilders of DFF, I'd like to ask you for a review and some advice/tips. What I have here is a Wind-Up Deck focused on mass Xyz Summoning and using the effects of the Xyz Monsters to control and win the Duel. I've been testing the Deck and it seems to be doing its job fairly well, but I need a bit of help making it a true competitive Deck, as I feel it's still lacking. I don't plan on entering any tournaments soon, but I'd like for it to be as tournament-worthy as possible and to keep the focus on the mass Xyz Summoning rather than the Wind-Up Loop. Help of any kind will be appreciated, and thanks in advance for taking the time to help.

Psofan219 (talk • contribs) 19:32, July 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Lappy had a good one, but he probably won't be back in the United States until like August, as he's in Germany. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  20:06, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Is it alright if I request Lappy to revise my Deck then? I don't mind the wait. I prefer someone who has Wind-Up experience/know-how, but I'll take help from any Deckbuilder.


 * Added Lappy to the header, you'll have to wait a bit, but if your ok with that, I'm not going to stop you. My only advice would be to drop Wind-Up Knight, not really needed, if you ask me. Also wouldn't use Level Limit - Area B, even if your Xyz monsters are good, Xyz monsters are pretty popular to use, so it may not do much. Add in a Solemn Judgment, maybe even 2 Torrential Tribute over the Chain Disappearance, since Chain Disappearance is usually a side deck card. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  13:25, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

I'll take it to consideration and try out the changes you suggested, although the cards you suggested for removal have served me very well, especially Chain Disappearance. Thanks for your advice nonetheless.

Finished - Beasts of History
hey guys, could you make me a beast deck with moja, beast striker and king of beasts as the key cards? also, im hoping the deck will be beatdown with anti meta stuff. i would also like to include horn of the phantom beast and kinka byo to be inside the deck. thanks for your time and help! --Deathlion (talk • contribs) 11:21, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've done stuff like this before, I'll take it. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  13:28, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

I based this off of a build I made a while back, just test it, and see how it goes. Not sure how Anti-Meta the deck could be, but the basic idea is of course to summon King of the Beasts as quickly as possible, just mill him off with Card Trooper or Ryko (Foolish Burial for exact mill), then revive with Moja, Moja is pretty easy to summon thanks to Giant Rat and Kinka-byo. If you really find Horn helpful in this build, then drop 1 Pot of Duality for another Horn. If you find Horn to be less than useful, replace with something like Compulsory Evacuation Device. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  20:21, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

hey, thanks for taking the deck. the problems i faced were that king of beasts was too difficult to summon as it is such a dead draw in hand. also, aother problem would be that the deck cant really protect itself when the mojas are in grave, which leaves me defenseless. is it better to build an anti-meta beast deck or stick with the original build? --Deathlion (talk • contribs) 11:20, July 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Anti-Meta Beasts, without a doubt in my mind. The idea is good, and the deck can be as well, but it does have it's own set of issues (I ran 2 Beast King to help lower dead draws, but it didn't help I guess). If you need a Anti-Meta Beast deck, ask. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  00:09, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
