DECKS FOR FREE STATUS: ''' Open! '''

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.

Upgrading Gurren Lagann
Hi guys, it's me again. I was simply wondering if you kind fellows can help me by "upgrading" the Gurren Lagann deck I had requested years ago to the current banlist. It got hit last ban list, but I had quit before that so I didn't care. However, I would like to see this deck make a comeback. Here's the list I was given:

Anything you guys can do to keep the theme and make it competitive, if possible, would be nice. Thanks again guys! Aporia&#39;s Apprentice (talk • contribs) 05:52, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Maybe you could ask User:Resk? She's the one that made it, and I remember, I was here at the time as well. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  18:13, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Playing Traditional Format, are we? Just to confirm; the following cards in this recipe are current banning - "Glow-Up Bulb", "Trishula", and "Trap Dustshoot". "Sangan" will also be banning in coming Format. To replacing them all: I will give you the following cards - "Unknown Synchron", replacing Bulb; "Mist Wurm", replacing Trishula; "Treacherous Trap Hole", replacing "Trap Dustshoot". And for "Sangan"; "Debris Dragon"? -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  18:30, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * It was made prior to Bulb being hit on the banlist, Just to verify, it was a deck to summon Halbeard cannon?
 * - Resk ( ✩ )( ☯ ) 22:22, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * I know, I just help updating the current/next banlist. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  23:03, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Well, the deck didn't focus on summoning one monster. The deck simply summoned monsters that either looked like Gurren Lagann or it summoned monsters that had more powerful forms, kind of like how Gurren Laggan becomes bigger in the show. I liked how the deck functioned, in other words, I like how it would seem like I'm going to lose, but the deck came back and won. That's the exact theme I was going for. I hope that helps Aporia&#39;s Apprentice (talk • contribs) 13:26, February 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * We all know that - Resk's just talk about those are the cards for "T.G. Halbeard Cannon" strategy. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  13:54, February 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think Resk is doing this one, if she isn't would you like to try a T.G. Nordic deck? The Plant engine is mostly gone, Bulb was a major part of it. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  04:12, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for the late response. Yea a T.G. Nordic deck sounds good. Thanks guys. Aporia&#39;s Apprentice (talk • contribs) 05:57, March 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * K. Asked SM10 to type it up for me, as I'm really lazy and tired atm.

Finished - Resonator Deck
Sup. I'd like to request a Resonator Nova deck, but I also want it to be as consistent and competitive as possible. Its priority is to always have a Synchro on the field and also bring out Red Nova as much as possible, like a Synchron Quasar deck, except with Resonators, you get it. No budget, I'd also like a side deck included. Thanks in advance.-- SLAY THE GODS! 11:17, February 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * I built a deck similar to this a while ago, I'll find it and update it.-- Evolution  Is The Key   18:36, February 25, 2013 (UTC)

Since he hasn't got back with you in a while, I'll go ahead and post my build up.

The goal, of course, is to summon Red Nova Dragon (I did in 4/5 games), but there's a twist: Red Dragon Vase. The card might as well be called "Pot of Greed" in this deck, because you'll just play it in your Main Phase 2 after summoning RDA (if you haven't already) tight before you end your turn. Hopefully then, you'll have the cards in hand to get one of your Lv 3 Tuners + Barrier Resonator out to tune for Red Nova. Red Carpet is great for this, since it's easy to get Barrier in the grave plus usually a Resonator you used to summon RDA. Wind-Up Soldier is awesome because it can be Normal Summoned as a 2200 Lv 5 beater AND fetched with TGU by going into Invoker. Invoker secures Tour Guide's place in this deck, on top of her 6 other targets in this deck and awesome compatibilty with Birdman. Will that do? Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 04:34, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

Finished - Elemental HERO Deck
Hey. I would like to request an Elemental HERO Deck, which does not contain Neos Alius nor the Omni-Fusions (Except Gaia and Nova Master, they're the only ones I have). I want it to be flexible and semi-defensive that will adapt to almost every matchup. I also want it to include Terra Firma and a somewhat low monster count as much as possible. Thanks to whoever takes up my request. --Ahjummagic (talk • contribs) 10:57, March 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * I got this. Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 00:17, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

Use Hero City to float and the traps to restrict your oppenent. Mask Change makes 3 big plays by using Acid like Heavy Storm, Dian for aggressive beatdown, and Vapor to dodge Mirror Forces, Torrentials, and cards like that. Woodsman fetches Poly to use for Wing Blasts and Quick Booster is good bait that searches your key cards, just make sure you chain it to MST or Heavy, etc. to get the recycle and the search. Prisma can be used to set up for Miracle Fusion or Ocean by dumping Ocean/Woodsman. Finally, the Xyz there can help you in tough situations and lock down your opponent, but Xyz shouldn't be your main priority, especially because you can't bring the materials back w/ Hero City. I'd use more Miracles, but you didn't want Omni-Heroes so...yea. Does that work for you? Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 01:44, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

Finished - New standard six samurai deck
Hello, ive come into some luck recently and been able to improve my six samurai deck but I want to standardize. This is what ive got so far. ((Cant template it since its on my cell phone))

Im currently awaiting a blade armor ninja, heroic champion excalibur, leviar the sea dragon,maestroke the symphony djinn, wind-up zenmains, and a driven daredevil. Im still looking for ascetiscism though but please included it and solemn warning in the deck please and thank you. DarkestKnight16 (talk • contribs) 16:20, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

I fixed the template for you. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 19:12, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

This is my take on the infamous 6 Sams, which are crazy consistent this format. It's just an outline that you can probably replace a few minor cards with other ones, depending on what you have/don't have. How's that? Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 04:05, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

Finished - Madolce help
Hi I'm trying to make this deck as competitive as possible. I don't really have a spending limit as long as a card is not over 15-20 but I will make exceptions. Thank you in advance.

SnowyG (talk • contribs) 07:54, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Do you want this for pre or post Tachyon Galaxy? Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 18:56, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

I want it Post Tachyon Galaxy however my deck idea has changed some after doing some looking for myself to something like this

SnowyG (talk • contribs) 20:16, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do in the next few days about your deck. I would give you my Madolche build but it doesn't exactly fit your criteria. What are the main problems though? Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 20:47, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

My main issue is getting Grandsoil out. I thought putting card trooper in would help but he has proven to be little to no help. My Idea around card trooper was to send Cards to the grave hopefully enough to bring out grandsoil but so far it sends most of my traps and magics and it never stays long enough to help bring out. I would like to keep Card Trooper but it seems that my idea isn't really working so he can be taken out. SnowyG (talk • contribs) 04:24, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry I keep changing my mind but grandsoil can go as well.My issue is keeping my monster alive long enough to in order to bring out Tiaramisu. And I always seem to have little to no cards in my hand. SnowyG (talk • contribs) 05:40, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

Its alright that you changed your mind, it didn't really bother me. I tried to keep to your build as much as possible, it can deplete your hand every once in a while but it shouldn't be that big of a deal. It can also get Tiaramisu out quite reliably.

The Extra Deck can be whatever you want it to be, the only addition I would make for now is adding in Number 39: Utopia 1-2 copies should be fine. Butlerusk helps add the field to hand so you don't have to rely on 'Gelato as much. and Puddingcess helps take care of monster that don't die easily or more backrow. I kept Trooper since he does go through the deck a lot faster and whatever Madolche spells get milled can be recycled with Tiaramisu. If this doesn't work for you I can try something else. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 18:52, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not a big fan of Puddingcess because you have to tribute for her I like her effect of destroying a card but I feel like the tribute is too much of a cost and was thinking of replacing her with a silver Sentinel which does essentially the same thing and special summons after being destroyed allowing for easy xyz rank fours as well as being a target for hootcake SnowyG (talk • contribs) 19:34, March 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Silver Sentinel could work as a replacement, I figured Puddingcess since she could be special summoned with Mew or Hootcake. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 19:40, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

I would prefer to to run Puddingcess because I almost never seem to bring her out. SnowyG (talk • contribs) 23:40, March 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thats not a problem, Puddingcess can be a hassle at times. Silver Sentinel should be fine in her place. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 15:24, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

Finished - Competitve Union Deck
hi I am a big fan of union cards i bulit a union deck with old cards that had no sucess. i was thinking that a good idea for a mondern union deck would be a VWXYZ that can summon and support XYZ-dragon cannnon on the players first turn or as soon as possible. i would like to keep the number of cards in the main deck under 45. I feel that only 1 XYZ-dragon cannon is nessacry and revival cards can be added. I do not compeat in offical games but i would like to follow the current ban lists. Please do not include VWXYZ-dragon catapult. Inclusion of V-tiger jet and W-wing catapult are ok but only if nessacry. i would like it to be able to handle a Six Samurai deck. i would also like it be as non-expensive as possible but with out affecting the stratagy. I use Yu-Gi-Oh mint.com as my main card buying site.

thank you very much. --Venom assult trooper (talk • contribs) 23:39, March 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * Is this TCG or OCG? -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  00:45, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

TCG would work fine i just play for fun. --Venom assult trooper (talk • contribs) 21:28, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

Do you think you could also add this idea [] to the deck if possible? thanks --Venom assult trooper (talk • contribs) 21:37, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

If you can not it is ok. --Venom assult trooper (talk • contribs) 19:58, March 16, 2013 (UTC) i am not very good at this but here is what i was thinking.

Thanks. --Venom assult trooper (talk • contribs) 20:37, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

Before I start this you want a cost efficient XYZ-Dragon Cannon deck that can get out Vylon Disigma correct? Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 14:36, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

yes i would also like to use the dark door/scrap-iron scarecrow lockdown to take advantage of the two monsters effects. thank you very much. --Venom assult trooper (talk • contribs) 15:26, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

This has been the build that I have been using, its fairly consistant and can make the lockdown with a few turns of set up.

I added 2 XYZ-Dragon Cannon since it can't be revived from the grave. The rest of the deck does a lot of deck thinning so you can get to your key cards faster, Machina Fortress is there to add another monster to attack with in case you can't get the lockdown in effect quick enough. Peacekeeper searches out any Union monster when destroyed so you can get Z-Metal Tank, Y-Dragon Head, or Machina Gearframe. Threatening Roar helps with stalling so you can get your lockdown pieces together. The deck is fairly cheap, the most expensive cards being Duality and Maestroke. If you have any other comments, questions, or if you want something changed please tell me and I'll see if I can explain/change that part. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 02:23, March 18, 2013 (UTC)

thanks a lot but i do have some questions 1. why swing of memories it can only be used for X-head cannon 2. do you know any card buying site better than yu-gi-ho mint.com? --Venom assult trooper (talk • contribs) 18:56, March 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Question 1: Swing of Memories can also be used for Summoner Monk's effect, while also being able to retrieve X-Head Cannon. Question 2: I usually base my prices off TCGPlayer.com or TrollandToad.com. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 19:35, March 18, 2013 (UTC)

thanks and one more thing a quick rundown would be nice. --Venom assult trooper (talk • contribs) 19:37, March 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Use Machina Peacekeeper to search out Z-Metal Tank or Y-Dragon Head, Gearframe to search out Peacekeeper or Machina Fortress. Fortress dumps any of the Union monsters with himself to Special Summon him to the field. With Roll Out! you can equip any of your Union monsters to X-Head Cannon, or Peacekeeper to any Machine. Frontline Base will allow you to Special Summon any Union monster from your hand, which is great if you have 2 peaces of XYZ-Dragon Cannon or you can set up a Peacekeeper play to grab any of the other Unions. Summoner Monk summons just about anything from your deck, and combos well with double summon, making Disigma fairly easily. Honest helps any of your XYZ-Dragon Cannon pieces stay alive during battle. Shining Angel also summons your Y-Dragon Head or Z-Metal Tank. In short thin your deck down and grab combo pieces quickly while negating your opponent's attacks with Scarecrow and Threatening Roar. Hope that cleared somethings up. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 19:58, March 18, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. --Venom assult trooper (talk • contribs) 20:05, March 18, 2013 (UTC)

Constellar
With the TCG release of the Constellar monsters coming fairly soon, I would like to request one. I've been looking at them but couldn't come up with a way to utilize them correctly. Hopefully one of you can come up with something, I was thinking of using Photon Thrasher and Fire Formation - Tenki to get an easy rank 4 Xyz out then trying to control the field from there. Thank you in advanced. Silentzombie (talk • contribs) 17:57, March 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * We most likely do not need to use Thrasher, as we have Constellar Pollux, Constellar Algiedi, and Constellar Kaus to make a strong Rank 5 or 4 play. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  02:56, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

Valkyrian Bounzers?
I would like help with refining my Bounzer deck. With the release of Cosmo Blazer and Valkyrian Knight in it, I decided I could possibly use its effect to help facilitate the swarming of the level 6 Bounzers in this deck. My problem is, though, that I dunno how to do that; I've heard of a combo that some Warrior decks use that utilizes Divine Sword - Phoenix Blade and Return from the Different Dimension to swarm the field, and since Valkyrian Knight does something similar to Phoenix Blade, I thought I could use that as a template, but I can't find any examples of how the combo works. Can anyone help me out with this? I don't have that much of a budget restraint (though I would like anyone picking this up to consider it a "budget deck", if possible), but I do have some restrictions:


 * 1. All 3 Bounzers should be featured in the deck, if possible. You can use any amount of them, but each Bounzer should have at least one copy in this deck.
 * 2. The deck can be Swarm Beat (with Hammer Bounzer as the focus) or Xyz Swarm (with Photon Strike Bounzer as the focus), I don't really care either way. Whichever works best for this deck.
 * 3. I have three copies of Valkyrian Knight, and I'd like to use all three copies, if at all possible.
 * 4. I'd like to keep this as close to a pure Warrior deck as possible (duh, considering Valkyrian Knight's effect).

Other than that, go wild. I prefer NOT to have FredCat touch this deck, though, considering our vitriolic history, so anyone else I'd appreciate the help. Thanks. Vorpal Storm Pony (talk • contribs) 20:06, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

It's ok. FredCat, or any other non-staff member, shouldn't post on any request that isn't theirs without the permission of the DFF staff. (See Rule #15)

Maybe something like this? The Destiny HEROes work as an engine to speed through the deck and make easy Rank 6's and a few Rank 4's. Call works for more Summons but als to search 2 Bounzers with Phantom Bounzer by chaining it to MST for a +2. The 3rd Valkyrian Knight can be used if you wanna drop a Dododo or Hammer Bounzer, and dropping a Hammer would probably be the better choice. Blade Bounzer is really random and not very good, but I guess you can drop a Diamond Dude... Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 14:39, March 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * With all due respect... heck no. I'm sorry, but I refuse to play Destiny Heroes, either by themselves or in combination with another archetype. And, no offense, but I'd rather have more than just one Blade Bounzer in this deck. Don't ask why, I won't play a Bounzer deck unless all four Bounzer monsters are represented. Also, why is Double Lance in here? I see no point or purpose to him that Photon Thrasher can't already provide. Night Beam is too expensive, so that has to go (can be replaced with MST, I guess), and why only four Traps? Dire Wolf without any other Beasts? Seriously? No, I'm sorry, but this is not at all the deck I want. I don't mean to sound unreasonable, but... no, I'm sorry, but no. It doesn't even seem to resemble at all the fabled Phoenix Blade combo deck that I keep hearing about. Can you or someone else do this again, please? Vorpal Storm Pony (talk • contribs) 22:04, March 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * No offense, but this isn't exactly and easy request, especially now that you're more specific. Not to mention that you're coming off as a little rude, and I'm sorry if that wasn't your intent. And to be blunt, your request is asking for the impossible. The "Phoenix Blade combo" your talking about was a combo deck when Elemental HERO Stratos was released and could be used at 3. By the way, that deck DID use Destiny HEROes, but it's now gone completely because it used DMoC, 3 Dimension Fusion, a few Disk Commanders, triple Malicious, and triple Stratos...it just can't be done and definitely not consistently. The deck wouldn't work with Bounzers either; it's just not a workable idea. Think of asking for a deck like Goat Control, the idea is just too dead to salvage. I'll respect the problem with D-HEROes even if I don't understand, but I'll explain some card choices. Night Beam and the low trap count was to get the most use out of Diamond Dude. Double Lance is a 1-card Xyz, unlike Thrasher, and works better because of the mix of Level 4's and Level 6's. Diamond Dire Wolf is a last resort utility card that gets rid of a problem card in your way by giving up 2 Level 4's in a critical situation. All this being said, I have one more idea, and I'll try to get it up in a little bit. Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 00:56, March 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, if that's how you feel, then hand it off to someone else who CAN make it work. Forgive me for being rude, but I don't buy any of your excuses; the combo is still being talked about on other sites, and is still listed on Valkyrian Knight's tips article as being viable, so obviously it IS still possible to make it work, even without the D-Hero crap. And how does it NOT work with Bounzers? Nearly every Bounzer deck I've researched online has the same idea - dump and revive the level 6 Bounzers for massive spammage, what you WANT with Valkyrian Knight/Phoenix Blade. No offense, but it sounds to me like you just don't want to touch this deck because of some hate against the Bounzers or something, and I'm just not going to have it. I'll look at this "one more idea" that you have, but if it's more of the same as above, then hand it off to someone else. Vorpal Storm Pony (talk • contribs) 01:15, March 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * I would like to know which sites you are talking about please, because I seem to be missing something, and that actually sounds interesting. Also, i'm not being mean, I'm just saying you're not really being reasonable. The Banish-to-bring-back-later combo isn't a good idea with the whole deck depending on just 1 Return from the Different Dimension; it REALLY needs Dimension Fusion(s). (And by the way, Valkyrian Knight's tips page says with Dimension Fusion in Traditional Format...) The problem with Bounzers is that there are only 3 members with little support for each other, and that their effects don't make them the most suitable for swarming, which means they are outclassed for that role. I will attempt the idea still, but the deck probably won't be too good, considering the missing key card, Dimension Fusion. I don't know what else to say, except that, being the most experienced deck builder here, just because I've been around a while and made a lot of weird decks, I really wouldn't say this strongly that this request is far-fetched if it wasn't. So I'll try my very best, but please don't be too disappointed if your deck idea falls short of your expectations when you test it. Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 04:06, March 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * Mostly this site and Pojo. I keep on hearing how the combo is still viable, and how Valkyrian Knight can be added to it to make it better, but no real specifics on WHAT the combo was, or can be now, that would make it viable. And how am I being unreasonable? I'm asking for a simple deck made in a simple way that I keep hearing is good, and you are the one who keeps saying "It's impossible, you're asking for something that can't be done, I have to alter the deck to make it nearly unrecognizable from what you want to make it work". I've played Bounzers before; I know what they're capable of, and I can tell you right now, that they ARE good at swarming, under the right conditions, and I believe that with the typical Bounzer techniques I've seen (dumping and reviving them), Valkyrian Knight and the Phoenix Blade combo sounds like the most viable way of doing just that. So again, if you feel so strongly that you can't do it, then I'd request you hand it off to someone who can. Vorpal Storm Pony (talk • contribs) 11:02, March 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * If I may, why not go around and ask on DN or DN's forums on how the combos done? Someone there is bound to know how it works, and they usually explain it. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  15:59, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

I asked on NeoArkCradle, and all I got was redirects to Diamond Dude Turbo. Now I got a vague answer of the combo needing RotDD and a "recovery card" for modern builds. What kind of recovery cards can be used without breaking the flow of the deck? The other suggestion was using Junk Collector for the combo, but that's not available in the TCG, for some strange reason, so I'm at a loss, here.

 * This is what I was trying to say...it's really difficult to do that, because the most reasonable choice is Mask of Darkness and that's kinda slow and mediocre at best. I'd say your best bet is just using Gold Sarcophagus to search RftDD and then set up to explode with it. That's about the best that can be done with that. You want me to try that?

 * If you want. if you can come up with a decent Warrior-centric way of milling and drawing consistently, I've heard Pharaoh's Treasure could work, but yeah, exploding with RftDD seems like the best way of doing this. Heck, if it's just THAT difficult to come up with a Phoenix Blade-type swarm strategy here, then tone it back and make it centered around exploiting Valkyrian Knight to reuse Phantom Bounzer or something.

Hasty & SM10 - New Deck, Please Help
I am looking for an extremely budget. Like, $25 extreme, deck of any kind that I can top 4 locals at, assuming there are 2 Machina players, 1 Fire Fist, 2 Mermail, and 1 Darkworld. Now, the chances are very low of me going up against Mermails and Machina. The only thing I really request of the deck is that it be consistant, and not be something I already have. I currently run Madolche, Reptillianne, Rock Stun, Toon, Chronomaly, and Fire Kings. Feel free to construct a deck that doesn't fit any archtype. If you absolutely want to know a few decks I want to build, so you can use them, I've wanted to try Great Moth, Archfiend, and Haze Beasts.

Out of the 3 decks you want to build Hazy Flames would best fit your price range. If somebody else doesn't take this I could get a budget Hazy Flame deck up probably by Wednesday, Friday the latest. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 05:39, March 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * ~Hint: Make it Hazy Flame Fire Kings.~ And I can check the deck and make a few edits if need be. Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 01:25, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
