Forum:Bamboochute Control 2.0 -- Akiza

Naturia's have always been knows as a controlling archetype, and I once built around that by abusing Naturia Bamboochute. Now, thanks to some of the new support for these cute little guys, I think i'm ready to give them an upgrade.

If anyone actually remembers the first version of this deck, I applaud you. The basic strategy is still here; Control every and any move your opponent tries to make, eventually beating through to their LP with Bamboochute and pals. Now, let’s see what was changed.

I’ve actually removed a single Bamboochute, since he doesn’t come in as handy as I recall. At 2000 ATK/DEF, he gets run over by a lot of Synchros. However, that doesn’t change his potential as a death-lock, so he stays at 2. I still have 3 of my searcher, Naturia Cliff. One of the best things about him, is that he doesn’t have to be killed by battle. Naturia Beans had to go, to be replaced by Naturia Cherry. He’s just as adorable, but I think that Cherry has more potential. He thins my deck by 2 cards when destroyed, fills the Grave for Pot of Avarice, and he’s a Level 1 Tuner. Definately a good card. Fruitfly is staying in, because his effect is incredible. My opponent’s monsters each lose 300 ATK/DEF for each Naturia I control? Ouch. Just with two of these bugs out, my opponent’s forces suffer a 1200 point deduction. Did I mention that he can steal a monster for a turn if it’s DEF is at 0? I just love it. Naturia Rosewhip maintains her status at 2, since she’s a Level 3 Tuner with decent DEF. There’s also a Great Shogun Shien effect built in, which will become irritating if she’s left on the field. Another new addition is Naturia Stinkbug, able to send himself to the Grave to end the Battle Phase when a Naturia is attacked. I can search him through Cliff in an emergency, or Forest if I feel I might need a backup plan. He’s also another Level 3 Tuner! Giant Rat and Dandylion maintain their status in the deck, since Rat can search almost anything in the deck, and Dandy can prove as great Pollinosis/Wrath fodder. Lastly, i’ve included Morphing Jar, for after I set a hand of Counter Traps and need to reload.

I bumped Forest up to a full set, after truly practicing with it’s amazing search power. One of the greatest combos in the deck is to combine Forest with Royal Oppression, meaning that I can pay 800 LP to negate a Special Summoning effect, then grab a Naturia from my deck. That’s card advantage nobody should pass up. Book of Moon is still here, due to amazing versatility and protecting of my monsters. Lastly, I have Pot of Avarice to reload a Grave full of Cherries, Cliffs, Dandylions, and get two more options.

Divine Warning is still here, even with the hefty 2000 point cost. It even triggers Forest if I negate something like Call of the Haunted or Junk Synchron. Very handy indeed, especially when I need to ensure that Bamboochute maintains the biggest monster on field. Another new addition mentioned earlier, was something that I can’t believe I missed before. Royal Oppression! I’m only affected in terms of Synchro Summoning and Dandylion, which I can live without. My opponent, however, will most likely be put in a very tight spot. Solemn Judgment remains as my omni-potent Counter Trap, that usually triggers Forest for a search. Extrio’s Fang announced in Starstrike Blast will come in very handy as well. It’s better than Dark Bribe, since it fills the Grave for Pot of Avarice, and doesn’t give my opponent a way out. Did I mention that I can use it while my hand is at 0 if i’m in a pinch? Definately a good card, when Forest can immediately thin the deck and replace the discard. Pollinosis stays in, acting as a pseudo-Solemn, where Dandylion and Cherry come in as fodder. Divine Wrath is a card i’ve always included in 3’s here, because it’s the one thing that Bamboochute doesn’t cover. The discard is of course easily replaced with Forest. Lastly, Mirror Force protects my monsters when Stinkbug isn’t around.

Please give suggestions and opinions on this improved concept deck.Akiza Izayoi (talk • contribs) 01:02, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
