Forum:Laval Deck: Future Meta?

So I am sure most of you know that the Laval deck is pretty unfamiliar, even with these new Meta decks coming in for all of our attention (Dino Rabbit, Inzektor, Wind-Up, Chaos Dragons). However, I must question something: When Hidden Arsenal 7 comes out, will the Laval archetype become Tier 1? The reason why I bring this up is because of HA7's Laval cards: Molten Conduction Field & Lavalval Chain. Currently, I am running this deck along with others, and this one seems to be the most outstanding so far. However, when Im allowed to put in my Duel Terminal MCF and L. Chain at my community Yu-Gi-Oh playhouse, the deck shreds every Tier I have ever played. Rekindling, Handmaiden, Cannon, and Lakeside Lady make this deck so broken, its unimaginable. Twice at locals (unregistered duels), I was able to go into Quasar and Red Nova one turn, one time being in first turn! Is it the side deck that makes it compatible to compete and win against other top tier decks? Or is it the sheer power it gets from within its own strategies? I am concerned to even see if the Laval archetype will be hit with a banlist after a certain time (however it needs to top at regionals). So the real question I am asking is: Will the Laval deck become a future Meta deck? Please let me know your thoughts as I am concerned if I should take this deck to Regionals. Here is the deck list to show for the Lavals:

Monsters = 16 -1 Laval Burner (Easy to get out if you have Lavals in grave, beater) -1 Laval Lancelord (Easy R.D. Archfiend for Nova setup, beater) -1 Effect Veiler (Standard) -1 Morphing Jar (Good for ditching Lavals into grave, Handmaiden eff, draw power) -1 Laval Forest Sprite (Good Tuner for lavals, HUGE booster if synchrod with) -2 Laval Lakeside Lady (Good tuner for 8's and 7's, used for popping set cards) -2 Laval Magma Cannoneer (Good for ditching Lavals, easy burn card, easy for sync) -2 Laval Cannon (Easily a Kageki, but targets banished [lakeside lady]) -2 Flamevell Firedog (Good 1900 beater that pluses off destroying, 200 def for Rekindling) -3 Laval Volcano Handmaiden (Main support for Lavals, misses timing on CERTAIN syncro summons thus plusing off of it [ex: stennon, formula sync])

Spells = 16 -1 Monster Reincarnation (+2 if right hand OR replace with MST)) -1 Pot of Avarice (Standard for Lavals) -1 Burial from A D.D. (Useful for getting banished back if you have no Cannon) -1 Gold Sarcophagus (Used for mainly for Rekindling or sometimes Cannon) -1 Searing Fire Wall (Used for getting synchros or defense) -1 Book of Moon (Standard, combo with Lakeside Lady) -1 Dark Hole (Standard) -1 Magical Stone Excavation (For Rekindling or Burial from a D.D.) -1 One for One (+2 if you have a Laval in hand, and good for Synchro) -1 Monster Reborn (Standard) -1 Heavy Storm (Standard) -1 Foolish Burial (Standard for Lavals, or in future replace with M.C. Field) -1 Enemy Controller (+2 if Maiden on field, or in future replace with M.C. Field) -3 Rekindlings (Main Backbone of Lavals, swarms fast for synchro or xyz)

Traps = 8 -2 Flamevell Counter (Dark Bribe but +2 if Cannon in hand) -2 Torrential (Standard, or replace with Bottomless Trap Hole) -2 Fiendish Chain (Standard) -2 Compulsory Evacuation Device (Standard)

Extra Deck = 15 -1 Maestroke Xyz (Good for defense, good for Lakeside Lady, or for future, Lavalval Chain) -1 Formula Synchron (Standard for Lavals) -1 Lavalval Dragon (Infinite Compuls for Lavals) -1 T.G. Hyper Librarian (Used for Quasar, draw power) -1 Laval Dual Slasher (Decent beater, sued for Quasar, 200 def) -1 Lavalval Dragun (Used for sending Lavals into grave, can send same card you pick out of deck into the grave) -1 Laval the Greater (Decent Synchro, or replace with Gravity Warrior) -1 Laval Stennon (Good synchro, invincible from card effects if lavals in grave) -1 Ancient Flamvell Deity (Awesome boost, banishes key cards from opponents grave, 200 def for rekindling) -1 Scrap Dragon (+2 eff, Standard for Lavals) -1 Stardust Dragon (Standard) -1 Red Dragon Archfiend (For Red Nova) -1 Shooting Star Dragon (Awesome card over all, for Quasar) -1 Red Nova Dragon (If Quasar isn't available to bust out, go into him) -1 Shooting Quasar Dragon (Awesome card over all, standard for Lavals)

Side Deck = 15 -2 Nobleman of Ext. (Burn Deck) -2 System Down (Machina and GearGs) -2 Shadow Imprisoning Mirror (Dark Worlds and Inzektor) -2 Light Imprisoning Mirror (Lightsworn and Agents) -2 Maxx "C" (Draw Power) -2 Gozen Match (Standard for Lavals) -2 MST's (Backrow hate) -1 Return from a D.D.(If no option for Burial, replace)

This post isn't really a deck profile, but I want to list what I have been using that I think might make this deck broken as all hell.173.60.214.194 (talk) 06:58, December 8, 2012 (UTC)
