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 Brooklyn, 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.

SM10 - I'm back
I'm here to request another deck. Could you build me a competitive Tetsu Trudge-based battle position manipulation deck? Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 19:10, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Seeing as I don't even know what your referring to, it's going to be hard to make a deck. Can you post some links? -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:17, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * He's probably talking about "Search Striker", "Pursuit Chaser" and "Jutte Fighter", all used by Tetsu Trudge. --Missign0 (talk • contribs) 02:27, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

yes, thats what im talking about. Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 16:47, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

I think I have an idea. Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 14:37, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

SM10 - Thief-theme Deck
Alright, I've never posted on Wiki before so forgive me if something is messed up here. Anyways, I've been trying to put together a thief-themed deck for a friend's birthday but I'm having issues making it work.

Basically, I'm looking for a deck centered around removing cards from my opponent's hand/deck (Specifically, things like Confiscation, White Magical Hat, Change of Heart, etc., as they fit the "thief" theme). It doesn't really matter if they go to the graveyard or banished or what. It's going to be just for casual play so banished cards are perfectly fine if they'll help.

I know it's not going to be a competitive deck by any standard, though I want something that can at least put up a fight, something which my own efforts haven't been able to achieve (though, my own card supply with effects of this nature are limited). I'm not really concerned about a budget so I'll just buy whatever I don'http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Decks_for_Free!?action=edit&section=21#t have. Also I don't really care what else the deck can do as long as it keeps that thief theme. If it needs to have a more specific focus though I'll find something. So... any thoughts?

 * Why not use Vampire Lady and Vampire Lord? -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  01:50, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

They're in there already also, but the deck just doesn't mesh well and it's not consistent. I've tried looking around online for other builds like zombie-specific ones including those, but I haven't had any luck finding anything. It doesn't look like these types of decks are very popular (I guess with good reason since they're not exactly competitive level these days).

Shadow Serenity 57 (talk • contribs) 01:58, March 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Pretty sure there's a Vampire deck somewhere in the Galleries. Just look under the Attribute/Type Gallery. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  02:06, March 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, look under the Attribute/Type gallery and then look in the T-Z Gallery. If you like that I can make slight modifications to that. Use Ctrl+F in the T-Z Gallery and search "Vampire". -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  02:10, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

Ah, okay. I checked the theme and monster galleries but didn't find anything, wouldn't imagine there'd have been anything that might work in the other two. Anywyas... before I devote your time to this, is there anything other than flat-out zombies that you think might be usable? If not, then go ahead with that plan. I'm just concerned because the person it's for already runs a zombie deck, but if that's all that works, then we'll go with it.

Shadow Serenity 57 (talk • contribs) 02:17, March 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ace, one of my old Convulsion of Nature decks runs Great Phantom Thief, White Magical Hat, and other cards to control the hand. I could fix it for Traditional Format. Do you think that will work for your friend, Shadow Serenity? Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 13:38, March 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think that deck would probably be better for this request. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  13:49, March 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * That actually sounds perfect! Thanks.

Dark/Fiend
Hey guys, wondering if you could build me a competitive dark deck, and if you could, mostly fiends, or all either way. It's on dueling network so feel free to add some of the new cards in if you want. Maniac56 (talk • contribs) 01:11, April 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * If you want to wait a bit, DN should eventually have Evil Emperor of Terror - Genesis Archfiend, but not sure if that's what you wanted. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  01:23, April 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, there's a all Fiend deck a few requests up that focuses on Raviel, Lord of Phantasms. Take a look if you want. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  01:24, April 13, 2013 (UTC)

I'd rather not wait for that card, as it doesn't fit the style I had in mind. I forgot to mention, I wanted the deck to be a swarm deck, with synchro possibilities if possible. Maniac56 (talk • contribs) 03:05, April 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Someone asked me to help with a Fiend Quasar thing a few weeks ago, but I don't know how well it works. Let me test it a bit then I might have one that works and I can post it up. Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 13:24, April 13, 2013 (UTC)

That seems great!Thank you in advance. Maniac56 (talk • contribs) 22:43, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Finished - The Wicked Avatar
I would like a competitive deck based around The Wicked Avatar, no money limit. It must be tournament ready, so do your best. It should be oriented so that Avatar is summoned quickly and take full advantage of all of it's effects. Miraibuu (talk • contribs) 03:25, April 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * In that case, can we just do Frog Monarchs with 2 copies of Avatar? Sadly there's no real way to get to Avatar quickly, and running 3 copies is out of the question due to inconsistency issues. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  02:40, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

But can't you just use Golden Sarc/Diff Dimension Capsule? Then add cards that would help it stay strong, etc. 96.25.226.21 (talk) 00:42, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

P.S Oops forgot to Log in Miraibuu (talk • contribs) 00:43, April 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * We can do that. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  14:27, April 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll throw this together over the weekend. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  01:07, April 26, 2013 (UTC)

-- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:01, April 27, 2013 (UTC)

No traps? Miraibuu (talk • contribs) 23:50, April 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Frogs never really need traps. They just survive off of making a stream of Gachi Gachi and then just take control with Monarchs. The only trap I've seen run in Frogs is really Treacherous Trap Hole, since too many traps can just make Treeborn Frog dead in the water, which isn't an option for frogs at all. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  17:39, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

I see. Considering I've defeated a Reptilianne Deck with this one gives your point leverage. The duel was fast, considering that i got Avatar out in 2 turns and paired him with Number 96 Dark mist. Thanks a bunch. 96.25.226.21 (talk) 20:51, April 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * If you get lucky, you can mill off pretty much all of your frog cards on turn one. Having 9 cards basically disappear from your deck helps speed up your draws. Or was that the Moulinglacia the Elemental Lord version of frogs? Either way the same mill play is possible. -- Dark Ace SP  ( Talk )  22:04, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Finished - Madolche Naturia?
Hey guys just had a crazy idea of trying to combine Madolche and Naturia. I really like Madolches cause of Queens effect and I've never tried to play Naturia but I know some Madolche Players run Beast and my thoughts were why not try and combine them both and see if they can be competitive or at least be fun to play with at locals. So far it seems to revolve on locking down the opponent using Queen, Bamboo Shoot and Beast. In my head it seems to work but so do a lot of thing but then don't but maybe my idea will click in someone's mind. Any way Thanks in advance for however decided to take this up So far my idea was to run

SnowyG (talk • contribs) 18:08, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

Thats definately an interesting idea you have there. It would most likely be used for more casual play than anything else, and depending on what people run at your locals it could do reletively well. I'll see what I can do with it over the next couple of days. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 19:46, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks the decks i can remember right now are Fire Fist, Atlantean/Mermail, Zexal weapon, and Turbo Junk Syncron. SnowyG (talk • contribs) 19:55, April 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * If all else fails and Shoot just doesn't work out, you can always go with Teleporting into a few Esper Girl and Psychic Commander. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  20:26, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

This deck is fairly simple, Cliff and Cherries serve as deck thinners and fodder for Hootcake, while also being able to pull off some Synchros and Xyz summons. Striker acts as another Tuner and can help get Barkion out easier. Most of the time Bamboo Shoot will act as a win more condition than anything since the deck can set up, and win without it but it offers some nice protection. If your have any concerns with it I'll try to rework it. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 15:17, April 25, 2013 (UTC)

This is actually almost identical to the one i was messing with except with out Striker and a few Magic Cards. The only issue is drawing all Monsters which can be a hassle sometimes but overall a really good consistent deck. Might make this my main deck instead of my other Madolche deck if testing continues to run well(5-1 the lose is because I drew 3 cherries and 3 Cliffs). Anyways Thanks Alot Much Appreciated! SnowyG (talk • contribs) 19:33, April 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've ran into that problem before, theres really nothing to do about bad draws unfortunately. But drawing into 2-3 Cliffs/Cherries pretty much kills all chances of coming back unless you have Bamboo Shoot. I'm glad you like it. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 20:03, April 25, 2013 (UTC)

For a Friend
hello first of all i would like to thank you for the union deck it works great. now i have a friend that wants to get into the game and this is the deck he wants to try. A Gem-Knight fusion beatdown stratagy that foucases on using the trap fusion cards and a little bit of spell and trap card removal. I was hopeing that it could be very inexpensive and also be able to transition from a traning deck to a compeatitive one, if price is a problem than just try to keep over 4 dollor cards to a minnimu and only spell and trap removle staples not cards like pot of duality please. thank you --Venom assult trooper (talk • contribs) 22:32, April 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Gem-Knights might not be a horrible place to start, usually a better deck to start with is Blackwings, but Gem-Knights aren't horrible. Just wondering, but did you want the Gemini version of Gem-Knight or the Normal monster version, they both basically play the same, except the Normal version can use Gem-Knight Crystal, while the Gemini version can use Gemini Spark. Honestly, the Gemini version is better for competitive play, and it's good in casual as well. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  22:37, April 27, 2013 (UTC)

I Think the Gemini Version would work. --Venom assult trooper (talk • contribs) 23:08, April 27, 2013 (UTC)

Finished - Getting back into dueling...Toons!
Hi! I have just recently got back into Yu-Gi-Oh and I would really like a Toon deck that is fun to play but really strong as well (I'm not too fond of losing). I don't plan on playing competitively, just with friends, so I'm not too concerned with tournament rules and such. The deck is completely up to you guys and your interpretations! As for a budget, I'd say around $60? I really don't mind too much if the price goes over. Honestly, I don't care for rare cards and such either. I just want to play and have fun! Thank! --Johntyl3r (talk • contribs) 00:11, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

There are a few Toon decks in the Decks for Free! Archives, you might like to look at: Forum:Decks for Free!/Archetype Gallery T-X If you find one you really like, let the deckbuilders know - they can always update it for you. If not, be sure to let them know that too. -- - Kungfu-mama ( Talk ) 14:08, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

I took a look at the decks in the archive and I can't seem to find one that appeals to me. I'd really like to orientate my deck around Toon Dark Magician Girl, Blue Eyes Toon Dragon, Toon Gemini Elf, and Toon Summoned Skull. I'd really like to have those incorporated. I'm looking for a more modern, powerful Toon deck, but still very fun to play. Also, where do you guys recommend I get the cards? The local vendors here don't sell singles. I'm aware of http://yugiohmint.com/ and http://www.tcgplayer.com/ Is yugiohmint reliable? TCGplayer seems a little too expensive for singles. Thanks!--Johntyl3r (talk • contribs) 15:30, April 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've seen people use Troll and Toad, and do you really, really need Toon Blue-Eyes? The thing is obsolete when compared to Dark Magician Girl, mostly because she only needs 1 tribute and can attack when she's summoned. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  17:35, April 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just tell me which site you want to use and I can use it to make the deck. I'll assume you have zero of the cards needed to make a toon deck when calculating the price, although that probably isn't the reality. Also, the prices on TCGPlayer can be a little misleading, the high, medium, and low prices you get for a card when you search it don't tell the full story, they're averages, so you can sometimes find the card for less by clicking the card name to see a list of vendors. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  17:45, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Well whatever you think! Umm. I'll probably end up purchasing a Blue Eyes just for the heck of reminiscing. I think I want to use Yugiohmint though because the prices look very cheap. Should I mention that I have the Seal of Orichalcos? And do you mind including an Extra Deck that might work for it too? If you can't make one that doesn't fit with the deck that's fine. I really appreciate this! Thank you!--Johntyl3r (talk • contribs) 19:06, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Hope you enjoy it. Most of the deck should be really cheap, if a card is more than you would like to pay, then please tell me. I'll keep this request on the page until maybe Wednesday.

Also, since you've come back to the game, you should check out That Wacky Alchemy!, remember that it's effect will activate any time a face-up Spell Card is sent to the graveyard, so if your opponent uses Mystical Space Typhoon (MST) to destroy your Toon World, feel free to take out one of their monsters in retaliation, because MST will go to the graveyard when it's finished resolving. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:18, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Wow, thanks! I'll definitely start building it. Is it okay if I analyze the deck and ask a couple of questions concerning the use of a different card?? Like how to make it even stronger if need be? Again, thank you!--Johntyl3r (talk • contribs) 01:13, April 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't really care what you do after this. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  03:25, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
