 * I'd take out Winged Kuriboh LV10 and Transcendant Wings. Too situational. KazilDarkeye 10:06, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

?


I use Kuriboh LVL 10 a lot, it's a good card but if I take it should I just remove all of the kuribohs? The point of the winged kuriboh's was to summon winged kuriboh lvl 10, I can use sanctuary in sky to do the same thing as winged kuriboh

Winged Kuriboh - When this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, its effect is activated. After ativation, during this turn, any Battle Damage that the controller of this cad takes becomes 0.

Sanctuary in the sky - battle damage to the controller of a fairy type monster from a battle involving that fairy type monster becomes 0.

Kuriboh
Should I just remove all the kuriboh cards? or side deck them? --Tantara 07:02, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I think you should remove Winged Kuriboh LV10 and Transcendent Wings. Side Deck the Winged Kuribohs along with both Draining Shields.  You have a lot of Trap cards, which leaves you a big target for Royal Decree, and Draining Shield isn't very good.
 * Just a point, Monster Reborn isn't a Trap.
 * Horn of the Unicorn isn't that great either, and neither is Solemn Wishes. Side Deck them if you want, but still remove them.
 * Also some spelling errors, and please sign your posts with 4 tildes. KazilDarkeye 18:55, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Okay, I'll side deck the Kuriboh's but Draining shield and Solemn wishes I added because of the effects of my more powerful monsters

Neo-Parshath, the Sky Paladin - You can Special Summon this card by Tributing 1 "Airknight Parshath". During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent. When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent, draw 1 card. While "The Sanctuary in the Sky" is on the field and your Life Points are higher than your opponent's, this card gains ATK and DEF equal to the difference in Life Points.

Agent of force - Mars - This card is unaffected by any Spell Cards. While "The Sanctuary in the Sky" is on your side of the field, and your Life Points are higher than your opponent's Life Points, increase the ATK and DEF of this card by the difference between your and your opponent's Life Points.

Agent of Judgement - Saturn - This card is unaffected by any Spell Cards. While "The Sanctuary in the Sky" is on your side of the field, and your Life Points are higher than your opponent's Life Points, increase the ATK and DEF of this card by the difference between your and your opponent's Life Points.

I do know that Monster Reborn isn't trap, I added it while working on my trap cards and it just... slipped in there...:)

I added Horn of the Unicorn because of the low stats of all of my monsters... None of them.... except tualatin and Archlord would stand against Jinzo

I blame all spelling issues on my computer... it's a norwegian computer with a norwegian keyboard... And what are Tildes???

Nova Summoner
Is Nova Summoner really worth it?? i'm spending $96 and a fifth of that is on that one card. It's the most expensive card in my deck, more expensive than Tualatin, Neo-Parshath, and 2 Archlords put together!

Just wanted someone elses opinion before I get it...

Nova Summoner - When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 LIGHT Fairy-Type monster with 1500 or less ATK from the Deck. If "The Sanctuary in the Sky" is on the field, you can Special Summon 1 "Airknight Parshath" instead.

PLEASE KEEP THE ADVICE COMING!! Thanks a million --Tantara 13:20, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Note that "the Difference in LP" cards also applies when you're BEHIND on LP, and Life Gain is generally weak. Also note that those cards power themselves up, and so can defeat Jinzo.
 * Also Field Barrier is WEAK. Avoid like the plague. KazilDarkeye 15:23, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

_______________________________________________________________________

Wouldn't I generally try and stay higher in lifepoints? when leveling out his lifepoints, my monsters would get weaker... I thought that it'd be generally better to start out with more life points and get more powerful as I go along...

Any ideas for 2 new magic cards that would go well in this deck?

Thanks, you're right.... bye bye Field Barrier --Tantara 21:20, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Please keep the advice coming!

_______________________________________________________-

It's not so much of 3 different types but 3 parts of 1 type. The point is to win the game right? Well... three different cards won't restrict me so much as help me, and you're WRONG sky paladin and agents are in same set and also have the same back up cards. This deck is not a Tualatin Lockdown or an Agent Beat down deck.... It's an Sanctuary in the Sky deck as it was labeled.

I pick Sanctuary in the Sky as my deck choice

-Tantara 19:49, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey, people let's not start an argument, Tantara Chris is right don't sneer at his face, because he knows what he's talking about, but I'm putting my input in as well, take out Neo-Parshath, the sky paladin and Tualatin, but I would keep the Airknight Parshaths and the agent force, and Tantara just respect Chris's opinion, he's just trying to help. -- Dragon of chaos 03:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

___________________________________________________________________________________

Hey, not trying to start an argument, but Airknights and Agents are in the same set (all Neo-Parshath is is Mars with a twist)and have the same support cards. I'll take out/side deck Tualatin because he doesn't go with the deck. Sorry, but the way Chris.... said it.... offended me greatly. Airknights go in life difference strategy too.

Isn't what Chris talking about a signature card deck, not a theme deck?

Anyways, Would anyone mind helping me with a Side deck?

Also, should I get rid of Nova Summoner? $26 for a card that's not that amazing, and that's the cheapest deal I could find on it!

--Tantara 08:02, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Side Deck - 15

Edits
It would be a waste of time to both of us if we continued talking like that, so let me reiterate my point briefly, and offer my suggestions to a potential great deck.

What I have been trying to say is that Parshaths and Agents sometimes may not work together due to their variety of cards. Even if they are in the same set, they sometimes conflict. However, Neo-Parshath works well with Agent of Force – Mars, and Agent of Judgment – Saturn, which really should be your focus in this deck. Much of your deck is therefore disturbed by other interfering cards, which I will offer my suggestions on how to refine it.

As a clarification, it is becoming clear that you want an increase-life deck, which will boost the power of your Paladin and Agents (Mars & Saturn). You don’t have to follow them, but they will help. I’ll give you removals first, then additions later. Some cards are removed because there are better alternatives. Suggestions:


 * Remove 3 Mystic Shine Ball (Look below to Venus)
 * Remove 1 Winged Kuriboh (Keep one, not 2)
 * Remove The Agent of Creation – Venus (Swarming the field with Shine Balls are slow and will alter your course in life-increase)
 * Remove The Agent of Wisdom – Mercury (Draw power is utilized more efficiently in other cards than this one)
 * Remove Meltiel, Sage of the Sky (although part of the Parshath and Agents set, it is part of a sub-set named the “Counter Fairies.” It should be used with its other Counter Fairy cards along with a mass amount of Counter Trap Cards. This will disturb you from your life-increasing cards.)
 * Remove Winged Kuriboh LV10 (cool card, but it will be slow in your deck. Using Kuriboh LV10 would be a completely different deck, which focuses on getting LV10 out to do massive damage. In your case, no.)
 * Remove 2 Horn of the Unicorn (I have something better suggested below)
 * Remove 2 Cestus of Dagla (don’t waste your deckspace! Better alternatives below)
 * Remove 1 Transcendant Wings (Don’t run Kuriboh LV10, unless you’re making a Kuriboh Deck)
 * Remove 2 Soul Ressurections (It’s just not for your deck)
 * Add 1 more Zeradias, Herald of Heaven (Max it to 3; you will need Sanc asap)
 * Add 1 more The Agent of Force – Mars (Max it to 3; it’s one of the main drives behind your deck)
 * Add 1 more The Agent of Judgment – Saturn (Max it to 3; another major part)
 * Add 3 Axe of Despair (Since you wanted some life-increasing equips like Horn of the Unicorn or Cestus of Dagla, here is a better option. Another card is Fusion Sword Murasame Blade. That may be a cheaper/easier-to-find alternative.)
 * Add 1 more Terraforming (Keep it at 2 for extra search for Sanc, but not 3 because that’s overkill – we already have Zeradias)
 * Add 1 more Draining Shield (life-increase is important, and Draining Shield is one of the best cards for it)
 * Add 1 Premature Burial (It’s one of the must-needs of decks like Monster Reborn – equally important)
 * Add 3 Nimble Momonga (One of the best cards to have that increases your lifepoints rapidly while providing you cover at the same time – make sure you have 3)
 * Add 1 Zolga (no more, because it’s slow)
 * Add 1 Guardian Angel Joan (2 tribute requirement’s hard, but keep 1 because it’s a very useful card to increase lifepoints)
 * And if you can, add 1 Guardian of Order. It provides some back-up and extra beatdown.

Your cards might not be 40 cards (which would be best), but I'll help you refine it after your edit it to your own will. I hope this helps! Chris427 10:58, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

__________________________________________________________________________________

YEAH! this is the advice I've been looking for! I'll take most of you're advice! but I'm gunna side deck Venus and Mystic Shines. No Nimble Momonga (expensive for not that good card) Kuriboh's are already gone. Keeping Cestus of Dagla, Meltiel Sage of the Sky's already gone. removing both winged Kuriboh's (see sanctuary in the sky effect). I'm getting rid of Nova Summoner, too expensive of a card.

Thank you!

--Tantara 12:48, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Now to cut it down to 40 so its an uber-pro deck? I'm still here. ^_^ Chris427 20:42, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate it : ) What about Radiant Jeral? Should that be in? And my Reinforcement of the Army's? it's only for Warrior of Zera and side decking Venus and mystic shine's? maybe even side decking Guardian of Order?

Thank you so much for helping me!

--Tantara 21:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Man, you are the best! okay, should I bother with a side deck? and what can I do to counter magic and trap? (especially wave motion cannon...scary card... ) man... wow... you totally reformed my deck... thanks! and you've cut this deck's cost by 30 dollars too! --Tantara 07:12, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe side deck Dark Bribe for a counter trap cause it won't hurt your life points, and run Mystical Space Typhoon, maybe take out Mist Body. -- Dragon of chaos 14:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Mist body stays... definately mystical space typhoon. Dark Bribe is... I dunno... --Tantara 21:06, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey Chris, what about Ray of Hope - good card, low price...? --Tantara 21:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

The Parshath line of monsters are sort of expensive. Are you willing to change your deck towards the Force and Judgment agents as your main driving force? If so, then I can make a final revision that will be a great Sanctuary deck. Tell me asap. Chris427 22:25, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

___________________________________________________

No thanks, Chris, thanks for the offer, but if the deck doesn't work well together, I'll sell the Parshaths... or trade them... anyways, I found a really good deal on them, together they'll cost me about $10.... and by the way, total deck cost is $72. excluding cards that I already have so take another $20 off of that. Thanks a lot for everything. will you post your version of the deck (without parshaths) also, see ray of hope

--Tantara 10:19, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the help, the deck above is great... just not my style.... frick... you just reminded me about Marshmallon.... I know someone with this card... do you think that I should replace Injection Fairy Lily with Marshmallon?

thanks again

--Tantara 18:49, 20 July 2008 (UTC)


 * If you have both of them, that would be good. Either one is excellent. Chris427 00:11, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

___________________________________________________________

How about removing Solemn Wishes and adding Marshmallon? (Solemn Wishes is slow)

--Tantara 08:53, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah. That's good. Chris427 19:03, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

_________________________________________________________

Also, should I consider Mudora? (okay defense.... all I have to do with it is wait until I get enough dead fairys... then use it as a beatstick)

--Tantara 20:25, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * No, it won't do. Imagine that as the only monster in your starting hand. :O Chris427 23:55, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

____________________________________________________________-

It wouldn't be that bad.... it does have 1800 defense... enough to protect my lifepoints until I get something suitable out.

FRICK I just found out about the Surge of Radiance structure deck..... omg if only they released that....

No thanks, the finished deck works better together. Plus the the cards that were included in it aren't extremely expensive, about $70 total. You're right about your deck, you can get out more powerful monsters more quickly. It just doesn't suit my style, and doesn't catch what I'm trying to do. --Tantara 20:23, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
