Forum:Lancer Frogs V.Lappy

Now that there's only about a month left in the format, I've finally managed to find a deck that I really enjoy playing. Go figure.

Gorz and Tragoedia are obvious choices in a deck that runs no traps. My tribute Monster lineup probably looks really weird to some of you, so I'll explain my reasoning. Caius is excellent against Inzektors and Chaos Dragons, but loses out to Dolkka being mandatory, so I've opted to run only 2. Vanity's Fiend, by contrast, can beat over Dolkka, and is fantastic against Chaos Dragons and Dino Rabbit (and a lot of other things too). However, it does very little to stop Inzektors, so again I've chosen to run only 2. Jinzo, on the other hand, fills the remaining slot; it does well against Rabbit and Inzektors, but is essentially useless against Chaos Dragons (though a 2400 beater isn't terrible). The other reason I'm maining Jinzo though, is so that I can win game 1 against "degenerate" decks such as Final Countdown and Chain Burn. Finally, the three Sea Lancer is necessary, since it's part of the main engine of the deck. I also play Tour Guide because Tour Guide is Tour Guide and Tour Guide is good. Also Sangan searches are nice.

As for the Frog engine, Swap Frog is the most important card, so naturally I've included 3 copies. I also play 3 Dupe Frog to help search it out. I've elected to play 2 copies of Poison Draw Frog because I find it to be the best choice to equip to Sea Lancer, but I am not fond of drawing it unless I have Swap Frog, and then it just fuels Swap's effect. I chose to play only 1 Treeborn because it isn't as important in Lancer builds; Ronintoadin does most of the work. As such, I play 3 copies of the Toad, which is great for making Gachi and Dark Mist. To close out the Monster lineup, I've included 3 copies of Effect Veiler. Normally I prefer only 2, but since I run no traps, I felt the third was needed.

The Spells should be obvious; I've included all the Staples except Book of Moon because I consider Book to be a Trap, and I'm not running Traps. Enemy Controller works like Change of Heart, so it'd be silly not to include 3.
