Forum:Genex Controller - Little Guy makes Big Plays!

Please note that this Deck is far from finished. In fact these are only candidates for the final deck.

After seeing the card Unexpected Dai, I immediately thought about using it in Genex, a Deck I always liked. Unfortunately, the Deck (for a lack of a better word) sucked. Not enough Synergy, mediocre effects, no Spell and Trap Support. With Unexpected Dai, however, the plays revolving Genex Controller (the central card of the Deck) had the potential to become more consistent and thus viable. Big Synchro plays are now a piece of cake, as Dai, Swing of Memories and even Iron Call can be used to summon Controller over and over again.

Since most Genex cards are rather lackluster, I instead wanted to focus on Genex Controller itself. Instead of a central card however, he is now "degraded" more of a "free advantage" card (summon with Unexpected Dai or Swing of Memories, adding with Genex Undine and banishing it for Allure of Darkness etc.).

The thing is just that I struggle to make a good Deck out of it. Even though the intent was to make a more casual Deck anyway, I still want it to be playable. One idea I had was to implement it with cards like Cyber Dragon and Machina Fortress to make a hard-hitting, quick-synchro Deck. While it works decently well, it just feels too much like a generic, cookie cutter Machine Deck, not like the original concept I envisioned.

The other idea, that I liked better was a Water centered build, where Genex Undine was the Main Card: it sent cards like Treeborn Frog, Fishborg Archer and Sinister Serpent to the Graveyard to gain advantage and set up future plays. The Atlantean monsters were also trigger'd by both Undine's and Fishborgs effects. Additionally, Surface was another option to make Synchro plays easier. While the idea worked really well, somebody made the remark "Merlanteans Light" and I realized that the "Unexpected Controller" engine was barely utilised.

I tried combining both Elements, but now the Deck is more of a Trainwreck than anything else. I don't know if I should scrap the entire Deck and start anew (only with the "Unexpected Controller" engine in mind) or should I refine one of my two previous attempts. Any help? All suggestions are welcome.--.:BronzeJohnson:. (talk • contribs) 19:21, May 28, 2015 (UTC)
