Forum:Fushioh Richie Deck

Oh, Richie, you so fine, you so fine you blow my mind. That is, Fushioh Richie. This thing looks harder to summon than Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes. But, hey, why not give it a try. It might blow your mind too.

The objective: Get Fushioh Richie onto the field as soon as possible, and use his effect to bring out a giant Zombie each turn. This deck needs to do three things.

1: Bring out Great Dezard. To this end, I have included a full suite of Apprentice Magicians, with Dark-Eyes Illusionist as the final summon, for tribute material. I didn't use Old Vindictive Magician, for reasons I will explain below. I also put in Breaker the Magical Warrior and two Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer, with Magician's Circle. Magician's Circle will bring out Gezard easily. Heck, you could special summon Dark Grepher and tribute that.

2: Destroy two monsters with Gezard to bring out Richie. To this end, I put in Ojama Trio, Shrink, and the Twin Swords. Twin Swords of Flashing Light will allow you to destroy 2 monsters in one turn, while loading the graveyard with big zombies. Shrink will make Gezard able to defeat anything with less than 3800 ATK. This is why I didn't want to use Old Vindictive Magician – I want there to be something left to destroy after I tribute summon Dezard.

3: Start cracking down hard on my opponent's life points. To do this, I need monsters in the graveyard. This is accomplished with the use of Dark Grepher, Foolish Burial, and the discard effect of the Twin Swords. Once the monsters are there, I can wail on my opponent with Fushioh and Pals. Other cards that help the strategy are:


 * Magical Mallet. It digs through the deck more quickly, as well as returning Fushioh to the deck – remember, it doesn't have to be in the hand to be special summoned.


 * Book of Moon, Life, and Taiyou. Moon can get a low-defense monster into defense position to be run over by Great Dezard. Taiyou can help with the flipping of Fushioh if it's ever necessary. Finally, if (God forbid) Richie is destroyed, we need a way to get it back. Thus, I use the Monster Reborn of Zombies, Book of Life.


 * Two Divine Wrath, and one Solemn Judgment. Divine Wrath gets preference because Fushioh Richie has a built-in protection effect. While face-up, it negates any spell or trap cards that target it and destroy them (this is another reason that I put in Taiyou – if my opponent targets Richie while it's face-down, I flip it face up, and poof! The opponent just wasted a card.) However, it does not negate Effect Monsters – if my Richie gets destroyed by Exiled Force, that's a few turns of build-up wasted, and I may not have a Book of Life in hand. Divine Wrath will stop any monster nastiness, even if it activates in the graveyard (or out of play). Of course, I still might need Solemn Judgment, so it's there just in case.

Tell me what you think of this concept deck - how I can make it better, that sort of thing. Runer5h 19:19, 28 March 2009 (UTC)Runer5h
