Forum:Frognarchs, Whoever said they were dead?

I dunno, but the only thing Frognarchs lost in this recent banlist is their awesome draw power and a pot of avarice, but every deck got hit with Pot of Avarice being limited, and Heavy Storm brought new toys for Monarchs. In my opinion, they didn't die, they just lost their potential to be tier -1. It doesn't mean they're not on a high tier now, but they would have been destructive in this format, possibly rivaling the ever-so-common Twilight decks. Here's my deck list, and some explanations on why I chose what.

At first you must be thinking, "What?!?! No Tragoedia? No Dark Dusk Spirit???"

Yes, I don't run those because I'm tired of all of the unoriginal builds out there (and I just don't frankly like them). ALthough Dark Worlds are getting more and more popular, Thestalos hasn't actually hurt me yet. Dupe Frogs are a defense most normal summon-able monsters can't run over, causing the opponent to waste resources. Breaker is there because I realized I had no offence, and he can blow up a back row or be a 1900 beater. Creature Swap is pretty underated, give them your Ronintoadin for their Shooting Star Dragon, yep seems legit to me. Spiritual Water Art - Aoi is very amazing, I lose a frog (probably Treeborn or Ronin, which can come back later) to look at their whole hand and discard a card of my choosing. Messes up everybody's strategy a lot when their key card (or topdeck) is sent to the grave. The lack of Mobius is justified by everybody too scared to set their backrow and running less traps, everyone plays conservatively now. And yes, I couldn't find room to include Shapesnatch (but I sure tried).

This is meant to be centered on control of the opponent (slowly but surely) and waiting out for them to waste resources until, BAM! Caius out of nowhere. Any rates/fixes/comments are appreciated. NotARealUsername (talk • contribs) 06:11, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
