Forum:Flip Cat!

Ever since the card Super-Nimble Mega Hamster was announced as one of the ten new TCG-exclusives from Absolute Powerforce, people have been wondering just what the heck to do with it? Will it bring back Synchro Cat single-handedly? Will it be useless? I say that it won't exactly revive Synchro Cat in the same way, but it will certainly be very, very interesting. I now present... Flip Cat!

This deck uses lots of flip effect monsters, doing a variety of things. Check it out!

The first monsters are Gravekeeper's Spy and Gravekeeper's Guard. Spy can block an attack and search Guard to boot - Guard can probably block an attack as well, and bounce my opponent's monster. Night Assailant can destroy a monster and/or retrieve Flip Effect monsters. Then there's the beasts. Hamster is really good in this deck with multiple targets. Ryko is one, with the ability to destroy something and mill my deck. Vermin allows me to summon another one when it's flipped for a chain of blocking and deck-thinning. And then there's the synchro part of the deck - 3 Airbellums make up the main only tuners. They're searchable by Hamster, and also Rescue Cat. Summoner Monk grabs Rescue Cat quickly, though it could also summon Hamster/Spy if I have Book of Moon in hand. And Sangan can search almost every single monster save the Airbellums... and two copies of Caius the Shadow Monarch. Those provide some handy removal and a beatstick, and with all the special summon effects they should be easy to bring out.

Moving on to spells, I've got lots of draw power with 3 Pot of Avarice and 2 Allure of Darkness. Using those cards, along with the frankly insane amount of monster-based deck thinning going on, I can go through my deck fairly quickly. The three flip books (see what I did there?) give me ways to reuse the effects of my monsters to the max. Then, MST and Heavy Storm work as standard removal. Cold Wave has always been in the Rescue Cat deck - I figured it might work. Finally, Brain Control snatches my opponent's monster to be used in a synchro summon.

The trap selection is minimal - just Trap Stun. The extra deck is very varied - check it out for yourself.

Anyways, this deck can be very, very defensive. Book of Moon, Book of Eclipse, monsters that can destroy your opponent's monsters, bounce them, or summon more of your own... and the high DEF monsters too. But thanks to Caius and the Rescue Cat part of the deck, it can leverage all that defensive field presence into the Monarch or multiple synchros. Tell me what you think of this concept deck.
