DECKS FOR FREE STATUS: ''' CLOSED! '''

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 Ace, if the deckbuilder has retired.

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 Butterspy deck? I have a money limit of $300. ~


 * Ex2: Hey, would you look at my Butterspy deck for me? ~

We'll make it a personal project and try to make sure that you're pleased with the final product. Each deckbuilder will only take one deck at a time and they will mark it by adding their part of their username to the header of that section and will let you know when they're done with a project by replacing their name with "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) 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.
 * 2) Make all requests in their own section and not directly beneath another person's request. Click here to start a new request.
 * 3) Have a direction for your deck (Examples: Dark World, Burn, Spellcaster, Bounce, etc.). Random strings of cards will not be helped. Remember that if you ask for a generic theme, such as Swarm or Chaos, you're leaving your deck up to the deckbuilder's preferences. If you don't want that, be more specific in what you want.
 * 4) Please don't post a request and ask for a Meta deck, you can find a decklist for almost any meta deck on most major Yu-Gi-Oh article sites, like TCGPlayer.com or Alter Reality Games. However, if you want to post a request for a meta deck, but want a unique twist to the deck to make it less meta, you may post that, just have something in mind when you do post.
 * 5) 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.
 * 6) Remember that we do build decks on a budget, but we can't make a great deck for under $20, the modern world doesn't work like that any more, so try to have a budget closer to $40 or $50.
 * 7) 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 one is finished, or just remove it. Also, don't post many requests back-to-back, as that creates more work as well.
 * 8) 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.
 * 9) This is a free service, but we are taking time out of our lives to help you. Be courteous and respectful to us, and please don't leave us waiting for you to answer a question.
 * 10) If we believe a duelist has abandoned their request, we'll place a notice on the request warning of it's removal within 24 hours unless some activity happens, but don't count on a notice, as a request can be removed without one.
 * 11) Decks that are not signed with 4 tildes (~) will not be helped, and the request may be removed without a notice.
 * 12) We reserve the ability to delete any and all requests for with or without a reason, including having an attitude toward a deckbuilder(s) on this wiki, abandonment, or failure to follow rules.
 * 13) Completed decks will be moved to the archive after a few days. Also, if you saw a deck on your post, but your post is now gone, check the most recent archive.
 * 14) 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 TCGPlayer or Google Shopping. We can, on request, verify prices on other sites. We will automatically chose the lowest card price for you.
 * 15) 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.
 * 16) It is highly recommended that you browse the deck galleries or archives before requesting, you may find what you're looking for there before requesting our assistance. Also, please try to update the builds in the archives or galleries by yourself before asking us, you may ask us if you don't know how to update a deck, but it helps us if you do update an old deck by yourself.
 * 17) 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.
 * 18) Please use proper spelling, grammar, and capitalization. Don't posts requests that have "I hav dek tht nds impvmt", it will be removed without further consideration. This also applies to the title of your request.
 * 19) Please make an account and log in before posting a request. Mere IP signatures will not 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, if you are posting your own deck. You can also post a Screen Shot of your deck from Dueling Network, if that's quicker. But a template is preferred.
 * 21) Please do not ask about the status of your request. When a deckbuilder has taken your request they will tell you that they have taken it, and you'll see a part of their username in the request title. Again, please don't ask about the status, but do at times comment on the deck, otherwise it may be removed because there is no activity from you or a deckbuilder.

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

Finished - Dragons of Atlantis
Hi, I would like to try a new deck and Poseidra, the Atlantean Dragon is a dragon (well, in name only) and dragons are my favorite, so I ask for a deck centered around him and Gungnir from Structure Deck: Realm of the Sea Emperor, also because it bring Deep Sea Diva I also want the option to summon Red Nova Dragon. The only water related cards that I have are Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, Dragon Ice, 2x Number 17: Leviathan Dragon, Gagagigo the Risen, Blizzard Dragon, Drill Barnacle, 2x Crystal Seer and 3x Treeborn Frog. My budget is the cost of 3 of Structure Deck: Realm of the Sea Emperor. Also include a tutorial of this deck. Thank Copperfield (talk • contribs) 04:22, January 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's not too hard to make a deck from 3 copies of a SD, I'll do this sometime tomorrow. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  03:59, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Exelent Copperfield (talk • contribs) 04:31, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

So I included a few cards that were outside of the SD, but almost 90% of the deck is from the SD, so getting the few extra cards that aren't in the SD should be fairly easy & cheap. Now the deck basically revolves around it's monster line-up & most if not all of the Spell & Traps help to support it in some form. Your main plan of attack to trigger the Atlantean's discard effects, if you so choose, is to use Abyss Soldier & Abyss Warrior, who both serve as beaters with solid 1800 ATK & are fairly good are disrupting the opponent's plays, and that's without factoring in the Atlantean effects. Atlantean Marksman is going to be your most important summon with Deep Sea Diva, summon Marksman off of Diva then use Marksman to inflict damage to summon Attack Squad, then let Squad do some damage, and Synchro for a Level 8 when everything's said & done. Hopefully, you have anther Diva or you can just Salvage her back to your hand to summon another Diva from your deck, then go for Nova. Do note that Moray can help place Diva back in the deck, but it's at one to avoid clogging up your hand. Also, remember that Poseidra is kinda horrible in the hand so pitch him off for an Abyss monster's effect if you get the chance, and summon him back later by giving up 3 of your WATER monsters, again use Diva & Marksman to do this. That's pretty much it. -- -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  18:38, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Look interesting, the next week I'm going to my local store to buy the SD and see if I get the rest, Abyss Warrior, Lance, Duality and Gishilnodon. Well, just in case, what cards I can use in place of the cards that don´t come in the SD?? like Debris Dragon to summon Gungnir?, or Treeborn Frog to help summon poseidra? or some other staples like Warning or the others that come in common?? because I have the mayority of that that come in some SD... Copperfield (talk • contribs) 22:43, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * You can definitely use Debris as we're using 2 Snowman Eater, but the issue with that is the lack of synergy between other cards. You could drop Lance for 2 Solemn, I mean Lance is usefully to cover for a held back Torrential Tribute or something, but you don't necessarily need Lance. If you can't get Warrior, try to go for anything with at least 1800 ATK, like the Armed Sea Hunter, who can at times trigger at Atlantean effect. For PoD put in Upstart Goblins if you got them or even Shard of Greed if you have 2 of those. As for Gis, just put in any Level 5 Synchro. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:33, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok.
 * Cards like Pot of Avarice or The Transmigration Prophecy are good here?? I mean, to put Diva in the deck to summon Nova in case I don't have any more of it in the deck. Also Dragon Ice are good here?? And you can tell me of other cards that may be a good adition to the deck?? maybe Mecha Sea Dragon Plesion or Lemuria, the Forgotten City or Abyss-strom... Copperfield (talk • contribs) 01:50, January 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't bother with Pot or Trans, I left them out for a reason, they just end up clogging. Tech in 1 Trans if you want, but you don't need it. Forget about the other stuff, but you can maybe replace 1 Poseidra with Plesion. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  04:31, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Zombie Fran Ken redo
Sorry for no response. I was out for a few weeks and couldn't go online. I really did't like my deck, as it went waaay past 40 cards. (not to mention Fred cat wasn't an actual builder here.) Could someone else (preferebly Number Hunter) do the deck? Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 20:16, January 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Would you mind reporting what you actually want? --User:BROOKLYN RAGE! 20:21, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

a Zombie deck based around Fran ken's summoning. You could also make use of its effect, if it will help the deck. Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 20:26, January 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Number hasn't been on in a while, maybe go to his talk page? -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )

You can do it too Ace. i forgot to mention you as well Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 22:46, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * I would have taken this deck before, but I just didn't feel like doing Zombies, since I don't like em.-- Let the Number take hold! 15:08, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

Finished - Shooting Quasar / Red Nova
I would like you to create a deck that can summon both Shooting Quasar Dragon and Red Nova Dragon. I know there are decks in the Galleries for this, so if you would like you can update one of those or create a new deck altogether. Thanks in advance. Jones623 (talk • contribs) 03:37, January 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * I usually just put them in a deck that doesn't need them. Like a Fabled Synchro for example.  That gets them both out but it doesn't need them --User:BROOKLYN RAGE! 08:20, January 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * I just updated it, the deck has the capability to summon Nova and Archfiend, but you'll need to play around with Levels and Junk Synchron. Truthfully, the king of decks for both of them is Flamvell/Laval, and if you want I can simply edit one I had and give it to you. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  17:50, January 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll go with the Flamvell/Laval build, but tell me I would go about getting out Quasar and Nova; I'm not too familiar with the deck. Jones623 (talk • contribs) 19:25, January 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * First off, use Cyber Magician and Rush Rhino to create the first Level 5 Synchro for Quasar, then use Junk Synchron to bring back Cyber Magician from the grave, and summon Doppelwarrior from the hand, then Synchro another Level 5 using Doppel and Junk Synchron, that gives you a field of 2 Level 5 Synchros, 2 Level 1 Tokens, and 1 Cyber Magician, use 1 Token and the Magician to create Formula Synchron (Remember that Wonder Magician is a Tuner, so don't summon her, that's why we have Junk Warrior and T.G Hyper Librarian), that gives you Quasar, or T.G. Blade Blaster if you want to. To make Red Dragon Archfiend, summon Junk Synchron, summon Doppel, then summon Warwolf, that gives you 8 stars, and then next turn you can use Junk Synchron and 1 Cyber Magician/Unknown Synchron to make Red Nova. It's not all perfect, but the best way to get used to the deck, is to play it, and just mess around with Levels. I'll try to get a Flamvell/Laval build up in a few days, but I do have high school, so yeah... -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  04:41, January 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll add in a Flamvell deck this weekend. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  01:52, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Most of the deck is still good. The basic idea is to use Magical Merchant to mill off as many monsters as possible and just fill up the graveyard, then use Rekindling to flood the field with Flamvells and create huge fields of Synchro monsters. The easiest way to make Red Nova is to use Rekindling to bring back a Firedog/Chow Len, a Magician, and 1 Hedgehog and 1 Baby, the last slot can be filled in by something else that you can use to attack with. Basically if you draw 2 Redkindling with a good grave set up, you should be able to win, heck with 1 you should be able to win, as long as the graveyard is filled with a variety of monsters to bring back. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  15:13, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

Finished - Pure fiend Non Archetype deck
Hey, I would like an All Fiend Competitive deck that does not adhere to a specific archetype like Dark World. There is no money limit. Miraibuu (talk • contribs) 04:53, January 28, 2013 (UTC)Mirai Buu-

Hi, I'll take this. Nephthy (talk • contribs) 14:07, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

So, here it is, Fiend deck but not an archetype deck. Te strategy is really common: you have to summon the boss monsters (Caius, Necrofear, Neosphere, Gorz and Tragoedia). You can also Xyz summon rank 3 and 4 monsters, but I used rank 4 only once, you usually do rank 3 monsters. These are the Djinn Xyz monsters, their effect is pretty awesome with Solidarity (2200 double attacker (Melomelody), 4600 while attacking a monster (Muzurythm), and we have a constant 3000 ATK guy (Temtempo)), but these cards are more like to make the opponent waste their traps, then you can summon the real badass monsters safely. I have some Synchros, I never used them while testing, but who knows... I put them into the Extra deck just in case. The spell/trapline is a version of my standard spells and traps. If you don't like it, you can swap Forbidden Dress for the Solemn trio and Creature swap or Card Guard and Treacherous Trap Hole with the Mirror Forces and Fiendish Chain.

I think that's all, simple strategy, not bad and consistent deck, you rarely have dead hands. This is neiter a tournament winner deck, nor a bad deck. Balanced. This is just the first version, I need your opinion here to know if I'm more or less ready, or you don't like it and I should change the entire deck.

Nephthy (talk • contribs) 18:47, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

I will probably scrap the Treacherous, because IMO i think it's very situational and I'll probably cut the dresses down to one, and replace the 3 with Divine Wrath, Solemn Judgement, and Warning. I like it, it's pretty fun, and I think I'll just fine tune it for competitive play. I will probably add a Dark Bribe to protect some monsters, as well as Solidarity. The idea is pretty good. I'm gonna use this in a Tournament, especially against all the new cards coming out (Prophecy, Mermail, Atlantian, etc). Miraibuu (talk • contribs) 23:08, January 31, 2013 (UTC) Miraibuu (talk • contribs) 23:02, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

As I mentioned above, feel free to change the spells and traps. I use these cards, because I personally like them and think they are good. If you put in the Solemns, Divine Wrath (I'd suggest Fiendish Chain or Breakthrough Skill instead, as you may run out of cards if you discard too much, but it's really your choice) and Bribe, you can drop Treacherous, Dress, Card Guard. I think this request is finished, but you can contact me here or on my talk page if you need any more help. Nephthy (talk • contribs) 15:32, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Finished? - Sylphine deck
I'd like a deck based around Sylphine the Cold Bird Beast for when it comes out. Include Blizzard Falcon and Aurora Wing also. Budget won't be a problem, since it will be a DN deck.

CharmedForce (talk • contribs) 17:29, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING IS A DRAFT.

So I threw this thing together on a bloody whim. The basic idea is to toolbox into Falcon and then summon anther Winged Beast to Xyz Sylphine, since she only needs 2 Winged Beasts, as the translated text stands at the moment. I feel like the 1500 Points of burn damage Falcon can do before we even Xyz Summon is a big deal, and to help make that happen, I went and added 3 Rush Recklessly, it helps do 1500 points of burn damage, and run over most if not all Level 4 monsters. We have a total of 9 Quick-Play Spells, counting 2 Quick Booster, and it's not perfect, but we can search for a Quick-Play or just put one back in the deck if we really want to. Mist Valley Falcon is just cool because he's huge at 2000 ATK, and a few cards to help abuse him fit in very nicely, whether we abuse them or not, plus he helps reuse Blizzard Falcon. Personally, I'd test this on DN myself, since I think it might be a nice concept deck, but I don't think they have cards uploaded just yet. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  16:11, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

Finished - Hieratic Deck
Hi, ive really gotten into the hieratic archetype and was wondering if you guys could help make me one. Id like for it to have rank 6 and 8 xyz ( i love the rank 8 they have) and it will be no budget because it will be on dueling network. Thanks in advance DarkestKnight16 (talk • contribs) 20:40, January 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry for teh absence, I've already made the deck:

It runs pretty well, has the potential to summon lots of stuff.-- Let the Number take hold! 13:21, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

Warrior/Gemini Deck
A while back the Gemini structure deck came out and I really wanted to like the theme/archetype, however not much became of it. Recently, I've been thinking about picking them up again and would really like some ideas on how to make a good/consistently powerful deck with the Gemini theme. I'm not opposed to adding in other archetypes, the most interesting idea I had being the Ninjas, to help achieve this goal. Also, budget is not a factor.

 * That moment when someone tells you to look at the top of the page and you find out you posted when DFF is closed.-- Let the Number take hold! 10:57, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I just didn't want to forget the idea.. Should've made a stickie note instead. I'm in no hurry, if it's any consolation.

 * It's fine, alot of the requests are kinda finished, so I should be able to open it back up sometime this week, after doing some aesthetic page maintenance. -- -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  13:48, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
