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 Resk!, if the deckbuilder has retired.

Decks for Free! Staff Application Center
This section is for any wiki users who would like to be a part of the Decks for Free! staff, in other words, a deckbuilder for DFF. You may be given other staffing positions, should a critical staff member retires or if more help is needed on certain update projects.

'''We're going to slow down the process a little, seeing as we need 3 deckbuilders to eventually test you in terms of deck building ability, we just don't have the heavy staff needed to continue with mass hiring. You can still turn in applications, but the process will be slowed down a bit. Sorry for the trouble, guys.'''

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 Jurrac deck? I have a money limit of $300. ~


 * Ex2: Hey, would you look at my Jurrac deck for me? ~

We'll make it a personal project and make sure that you'll be pleased with the final product. Each deckbuilder will only take one deck at a time and they will mark it by adding their name to the header of that section (See Rule 19) and will let you know when they're done with a project by posting "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) Make all requests in their own section and not directly beneath another person's request. Click here to start a new request.
 * 2) Have a direction for your deck (Examples: Dark World, Burn, Spellcaster, Bounce, etc.). Random strings of cards will not be helped.
 * 3) 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 1 is finished.
 * 4) This is a free service, but we are taking time out of our lives to help you. Be courteous and respectful to the deckbuilders, and please don't leave us waiting for you to answer a question.
 * 5) If we believe a duelist has abandoned their request, we'll place a notice on the request warning of it's removal within 24-48 hours unless some activity happens.
 * 6) Completed decks will be moved to the archive after a few days.
 * 7) Decks that are not signed with 4 tildes (~) will not be helped.
 * 8) We reserve the ability to delete any and all requests for any reason we see fit, including attitude toward deckbuilders (In DFF or outside DFF), abandonment, or failure to follow rules.
 * 9) 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 eBay, TCGPlayer, or Google Shopping. We can on request verify prices on other sites. We will automatically chose the lowest card price for you.
 * 10) 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.
 * 11) 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.
 * 12) 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.

 * 16) 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.
 * 17) Please don't make your request title in all capitals, just the first letter of each word in that title.
 * 18) Please use proper spelling, grammar, and capitalization. Don't posts requests that have "I hav dek tht nds impvmt", it will be totally ignored.

Wolf - L&D-Dragon/Twilight Deck
Hi guys, I'm not very good at deckbuilding, but I wanted a twilight deck buillt around Light & Darkness Dragon. I can't spend a lot of money on it (let's say around 70 in dollar?) but I already have quite a lot of the classic Twilight cards. Thanks in advance! E-heroRose (talk • contribs) 20:47, May 20, 2012 (UTC)

You primarily want to focus on the LaDD loop to maintain control while it also extends the Lightpulsar combo. Lance is there to protect your monsters and Reckless Greed can be chained off of your opponents card while LaDD is on the field. The 2nd Chaos Sorc can be a BLS if you have one. Hope this helps. Elite Wolf (talk • contribs) 19:30, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Wolf - Darkness Assault
Hi again, this time I would like a Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode deck that also use Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon to be extreme aggro-beatdown/control deck. I would like something from Dragunity Legion or Dragons Collide or both.
 * Must also contain Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, Shooting Star Dragon, Five-Headed Dragon and Assault Counter.
 * Optionally Dark Simorgh, Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord and/or capability to bring out Majestic Star Dragon.
 * Must contain some form of piercing like number 83 or dragon's rage
 * Extra cards no more of 5$ per card.
 * If use Solidarity better, if not then Burden of the Mighty (both are optional)

thank in advanceCopperfield (talk • contribs) 02:59, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm going to be blunt: The best way to summon Stardust Assault is Flamvell. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  03:46, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Maybe, but I don't want Flamvell... that mean buy almost the entire deck, and that is not good for me... I prefer Dragunity they are also good to summon Stardust, right? or Lightpulsar combo + Phalanx or something like thatCopperfield (talk • contribs) 05:13, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

I can give this a shot, but I can already say that fitting in Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon is going to be a problem. Other than being a Red-Eyes target, its going to be a dead draw. Elite Wolf (talk • contribs) 20:39, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Good. I'm curious, what are you going to use Dragunity or Chaos Dragons or a mix? I would like to see the latest.Copperfield (talk • contribs) 19:16, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about the wait. This should be pretty straightforward (Use Lightpulsar and Cerburrel to make Stardust). Zephyros is a more consistent draw than Galaxy-Eyes, but if you really want it, you can use Galaxy-Eyes in place of Zephyros. The only real important cards in the Extra Deck is Stardust and Five-Headed, everything else is just incase (don't worry about Majestic Red Dragon, there just happened to be room in the Extra Deck).

Monarchs
Hey. I've been playing this deck for a while and it does well but i want to know if it could be better. I want to stay away from macro and frog versions. Money isn't an issue.

Aexon 05:34, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

"I want to stay away from frog versions" *is running Treeborn Frog*

Exactly how much Frog is acceptable? Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 16:32, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

Well using only Treeborn Frog doesn't make it a Frognarch IMO. To answer your question, only Treeborn is acceptable. Aexon 22:06, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Macro Deck-out/Beat-em
Hey, if you don't mind, I'd like a macro deck, with a way to deck the opponent out when I want to have fun. If you don't mind, keep the solemns to 1 each. Maniac56 (talk • contribs) 10:16, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Judgment kinda has to be at 1. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 17:57, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I should have said that better. I meant that I want just 1 solemn warning, along with a solemn judgement. Maniac56 (talk • contribs) 11:23, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Athena OTK/Restriction Deck
(Note: I only use this for Traditional Format, as some cards in the Deck are on the Forbidden, Limited, or Semi-Limited lists. Also, I'm don't spend money on cards very often, so I'll just check the new Deck list and respond with what I don't have from the list.)

I had a customized Athena OTK Deck at one point last year, but I stopped after the people I Dueled kept complaining that it was an unfair Deck, even after I explained that the loop was a Controlled Loop and was therefore legal in both Traditional and Advanced Format. I recently rebuilt with more cards to restrict the opponent, allowing me to put the OTK into effect without giving them much of a chance to retaliate. There are some cards I think would be better to switch out, like swapping some effect-stopping cards with Summon and attack restrictions, but here's what I have right now:

Samzapp (talk • contribs) 23:14, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

New requests go at the bottom. I've moved it for you. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 17:57, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Also, could I find out who's revising my Deck list?

Samzapp (talk • contribs) 04:52, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

No one, yet. You'll know you're being helped when someone's tag is added to the header of your request. For example, if I had taken your request, the header would read "Lappy - Athena OTK/Restriction Deck". Also, if you could give us an approximate budget, that'd be very helpful. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 05:55, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Alright. As for the budget, I usually set aside $5 or so each week for buying cards, so the maximum-cost set I can get in a single week is the Ra Yellow Mega Pack, unless I save the money for two or more weeks. I have tons of cards already, though, so I'll probably have a lot of the cards on the revised list either way. Also, I don't like buying individual cards.

Samzapp (talk • contribs) 06:00, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Added and replaced some cards. These revisions are marked in bold.

Samzapp (talk • contribs) 04:11, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

One more thing, I don't have very many duplicates, so that would be good to take into consideration when revising my Deck list.

Samzapp (talk • contribs) 00:29, June 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * You have 57 cards? What the heck? Most decks have only have around 40 cards, do you really need 57? -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  01:28, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

I don't really mind how many cards there are, as long as it's between 40 and 60 (that goes for any revisions as well).

Samzapp (talk • contribs) 03:31, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

Atlantean
Hey I see the atlantean archetype getting a structure deck and im interested in a deck for them with the new deck list. if you guys think a pure atlantean deck would be better or one combined with the gishkis either one is ok. thanks alot

Chubbs40 (talk • contribs) 03:07, June 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's usually Atlan + Some Mermail. Gishki shouldn't be mixed into other decks, except maybe a hand control version with something else. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  14:29, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

Finished - Breakout the Dark Magician's
Hi i was hoping to find a Dark Magician Beatdown Deck but was unable to find one in the archives. Would you be able make me one for DN but it would be nice if could build it for real so TCG only. I mite go to a tournament this Sunday and i would like to use this deck. My price limit is $0 if you put in a card i don't have, i will sub it or use a different deck. Thanks a million Yu-card (talk • contribs) 05:13, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know how this might work out, so test it out on DN, play 4-5 games to get a quick snap of how the deck might do in terms of percentage. So basically, summon Dark Magician by using Magician's Circle to get Dark Magician Girl, then activate Sage's Stone, so you get a Dark Magician for no cost. Dark Magic Curtain can summon him when you want as well. Skilled Dark Magician serves that purpose as well, but slower. If you want, you can put in a few Dark Magician specific support cards, like Dark Magic Attack, and maybe drop 1 Chaos Sorcerer and 1 MST if you do, or just drop cards you can't get. I would test this for you, but I have stuff to do IRL. Other than that, the deck is mostly just Beatdown and Control. Also, you don't really need to use your effects, so Skill Drain works perfectly, the only thing that skill drain really stops is Chaos Sorcerer, but he's in there for the times you don't have Skill Drain on the board. I put in "/" for quick alternates if you don't have them, but the card names in front of the "/" are preferred first. If you don't like Valkyria, just put in a solid 1800-1900 LIGHT Spellcaster, preferably Level 4 or lower. If you don't like the above, also tell me that. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  14:53, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

Dragon Deck
Hi, I run a dragon deck that I like to play casually with my friends, although I was thinking about going to some more tournaments. Dragons are my favorite Type, and I did my best to build this deck, but it still doesn't work as well as I want it to. Can you make any improvements? Much appreciated.

I was thinking maybe improve the synchro ability, or increase the draw power. I consistently find myself with dead draws.

Meherab345 (talk • contribs) 02:20, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

See Rules 7 and 18. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  00:17, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

Totally forgot, sorry. Meherab345 (talk • contribs) 02:20, June 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * What's your budget? Would Chaos Dragon be alright? Or did you want a more traditional Dragon-Beatdown kinda thing? -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  18:53, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Koa'ki Meiru anti-meta
Hello Deckbuilders.I'm not very good in deck building, since i've been playing for only 2 months. I would like to build a Koa'ki Meiru anti-meta deck, since most of my friends play decks based on Light and Dark monsters, and they usually win when i play with my gemini deck. I'm willing to spend 100 US$ on the whole deck(including shipping).Danilex13 (talk • contribs) 18:20, June 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Can you tell me what kinda of Light and Dark monsters they like to use, it might help me see which way I want to go with the deck in general. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  18:56, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

The most troublesome cards are Dark Armed Dragon, Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, Master Hyperion, Honest, Chaos Sorcerer, and of one them is planning to build a Hieratic Dragon Deck. Their decks are filled with monsters that special summons others of the same type. Danilex13 (talk • contribs) 19:15, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm...we can use either Koa'ki Meiru Drago with a Dragon Deck, most likely disaster, or we can try Koa'ki Meiru Doom with other Fiends. Or we can just go for using Dark World, who have Grapha (2700 ATK Beater, goes to 3000 if Gate is out, bigger than the other cards you mentioned, and Dark World in General usually wreck the opponent's hand with Dragged Down into the Grave, but that's just my thoughts.) If you want to go with Koa'ki, go with Rock Stun, with more emphasis on Koa'ki Meiru Guardian and Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo, maybe add in a few Safe Zone for good measure, but Rock Stun in general is just slow compared to Hieratic. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  22:23, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

So building one Rock Stun deck wouldn't be good against Hieratics? What other Fiends monsters would feature on the Koa'ki Meiru Doom deck?Danilex13 (talk • contribs) 22:36, June 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Stuff like Card Guard, and some other Fiends with High ATK, and a heavy trap line-up. Maybe even Tour Guides. But yeah I'd go with either Drago or Rock Stun (I can try to make it faster with more draw cards, since it still stands a goodish chance against Hieratic if you get the right opening.) You should know that your Side Deck will play a big role in your duels, do you use a Side Deck at the moment? -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  22:40, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

I don't use Side Deck atm, since I only play casually, but I'm planning to play on tournaments in the future. It does seems like a Rock Stun deck is a good choice.How can a side deck help me?


 * Well, Rock Stun uses mostly Rock-Type and EARTH monsters, which means that you can side in cards like Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror and Leeching the Light without really hurting them. Also, if you plan to go to Tourneys, there are other Anti-Meta type decks, like Malefic/Macro Cosmos Skill Drain and such, which is also fairly cheap to build, since the most expensive card is usually Malefic Cyber End Dragon, which will cost you about $15 for 3, and Malefic Stardust Dragon is really cheap since it got a reprint in a tin. Your call about which Anti-Meta style deck you want. -- - Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:49, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

I think I will stick to the Rock Stun Deck, i really liked it's concept. Can you try to optimize it to be able to compete against decks such as Hieratic and other metas. Thanks for advance for all your help.Danilex13 (talk • contribs) 00:46, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, so the game play is pretty simple. Summon either Koa'ki Meiru Guardian or Doomcaliber to negate effects. The YGO TCG revolves around them, and a lot of decks that win are because the monster effects are what start the madness, so negate them. 2nd, Special Summons are rampant, so you use Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo and stop them from happening, and use Safe Zone to protect Dyna from battle destruction and from any effect destruction (not just effects that target). Next line is the Spell and Trap negators, Wall and Sandman, just use them to negate stuff that would make it harder for you to win. Morphing Jar is for more draw, and Grand Mole is for monster removal in a tight pinch. The spells are mostly staple, or are there is make it easier for your monsters to run over stuff (Lance), or just kill the monster that's creating trouble (Smashing). Dimensional Fissure just stops a bunch of decks in that rely on the Grave, like Chaos and Agents. The traps are either pure negation or pure monster removal. Safe Zone is unique in that it can protect your monsters, as well as get rid of cards you opponent has (Player 1 activates MST targeting a Set Safe Zone, Player 2 chains Safe Zone and targets one of the opponent's monsters, Safe Zone is then destroyed by MST, then targeted monster is destroyed by Safe Zone). That pretty much sums up the deck. I suggest playing a bit on Dueling Network to get the hang of it. Also, the deck is really cheap, because Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo, who used to be $40 a pop at one time, is now $0.49, because of a 2011 Tin reprint! If you find the deck slow at getting started (which will happen...), tell me and I'll try to fit in 3 Reckless Greed, but I fit in Morphing Jar to help a little with that.

Your Side Deck should consist of 1 more Sandman and Wall, because you may have to face spell and trap heavy decks. 2-3 Summon Limit to help deal with Hieratic, I suggest siding out Fissure for this match-up, since it dose almost nothing. A few D.D. Crow and Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror, and a few Electric Virus and Victoria. Most of that can help deal with the Meta and your casual dueling buds.
