Forum:Earth Skill Drain Deck

I got back in to Yugioh about a month ago, I used to play when it first started, but the metagame is much more interesting now than it ever was before. Anyways, I've been working with this for a few days now. I've had great results with it so far, with only a few noteworthy matchups that have been generally unfavorable (Dark World, Lightsworn, Karakuri Geargia, Harpies).

I'd say right now the primary problem I have is maintaining my backfield. In cases where opponents don't have much to pop my cards, I tend to dominate if even just skill drain is active. The other ones have saved me in many circumstances where I wouldn't otherwise be able to over come certain aspects of enemies (Burden against Beelze, Gaia Power vs. Rank 4 XYZs and dealing with field card decks). Unless I've been playing against many noobs (which is totally possible), people tend to pop Supply Unit last of all cards so I usually have good draw power when needed. Final Attack Orders has helped immensely as a backup Skill Drain that I often use to trick opponents into killing their own monsters and taking damage while also dealing with pesky Marshmallons. And Forbidden Chalice is of course a great utility for increasing my own damage or negating foe effects (usually they can't get over 2300 beatsticks with the boost during battle phase anyways).

I didn't want to type out my side deck, but it's mostly counter traps and special summon drains. I don't use it much anyways since I do single duels most of the time. But other than that, I'm looking to see if there's anything else that can be done to spruce it up a bit. Atma weapon oni (talk • contribs) 02:33, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
