Forum:Column Deck

I like making weird decks. However, this is bizarre even by my standards - it's a deck that centers around the strategic use of columns to my advantage. Let's take a look.

Yes, it's weird. The cards that use columns in this deck are Storm Shooter, Rampaging Rhynos, Alien Inflitrator, and Blasting Fuse, with Senet Switch as the support card. The monsters are all either EARTH or WIND, which becomes important.

So, I have 2 Storm Shooters, and three each of Infiltrator and Rampaging Rhynos. Giant Rat searches Rhynos and Infiltrator. Enraged Battle Ox grants Rampaging Rhynos and Storm Shooter piercing abilities. Cannon Soldier may seem weird, but all the cards that can change their columns can only move into adjacent unoccupied columns. So, Cannon Soldier clears them out. I originally used The Little Swordsman of Aile for this purpose, but it didn't seem right. Anyways, Sangan searches out much of this deck. Winged Rhynos has a neat combo with Blasting Fuse that I'll talk about later, and can pierce with Enraged Battle Ox. Finally, Desert Twister takes advantage of the numerous EARTH and WIND monsters in the deck.

Senet Switch was already mentioned. Gaia Power buffs up Infiltrator and Rampaging Rhynos, which are the weak column monsters. Ground Collapse forces enemy monsters into the same columns as Rampaging Rhynos and Storm Shooter, and out of the way of Infiltrator. Giant Trunade gets rid of problems for a turn, and Scapegoat is useful with Cannon Soldier as well as being emergency defence. Terraforming searches out Gaia Power.

Blasting Fuse is a remarkably bizarre card. It and a monster get rid of two of my opponent's cards. The combo it has with Winged Rhynos is that I can put Winged Rhynos into the same column as Blasting Fuse, and then return it to my hand when I activate the Fuse so it doesn't get destroyed. Compulsory Evacuation Device comes in as removal. Solemn Judgment is some negation. Finally, Xing Zhen Hu freezes up my opponent's cards so that they can't be used. It's frustrating to play against, to say the least.

Tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 16:09, 9 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h
