Forum:Celebrating 50 great decks with a not-so-great deck.

At last, after all these months, I've done it! 50 decks! I've done strange decks based around Fushioh Richie, Greed Quasar, and Minoan Centaur; burn decks utilizing Greed and Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis; Boss Rush, Phantom Beasts, Senet decks, Hopeless Dino, and Diamond Dude Beastdown; and this is one-fifth of what I've done. Now, time for a fun deck, in homage to the king of games.

Yes, this deck is about abusing the power of Judgment of the Pharaoh! It's effect allows for a powerful ban on either summoning and monster effects, or spell and trap cards. And then, I take advantage of its stunning effect with swarming and beatdown.

For monsters, I've got Shura and Gale. Shura is a beatstick with swarm power, while Gale can take down any number of huge monsters. Mask of Darkness re-uses Judgment of the Pharaoh. Hydrogeddon allows for some neat swarming. Ryko is omnipotent destruction and loads the graveyard for the effect of Judgment of the Pharaoh. Breaker can be a beatstick or spell and trap destruction. Finally, Powerhand is a great beatstick that can get through some powerful walls.

For spells, I have Unity and Yu-Jo Friendship. While Unity's effect is useless in this deck, Yu-Jo Friendship can recoup some life points lost through the cost of Judgment of the Pharaoh. Allure of Darkness is draw power, and Hand/Card Destruction cycle through the deck and load the graveyard with Unities and Friendships. Finally, there's the all-important staple of Monster Reborn.

For traps, Life-Absorbing Machine also gives me back life points. Judgment of the Pharaoh has been explained already. Dark Bribe is negation without paying life points (I already have enough of that). Dust Tornado destroys cards and allows the use of Judgment on my turn. Finally, Mirror Force and Dimensional Prison are the other staples of the deck; they also can be used with Powerhand.

Tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 19:27, 20 July 2009 (UTC)Runer5h
