Forum:Abusive Puppetry

Puppet Master is a phenomenal card. I mean, if Overdrive Teleporter can be considered good, then Puppet Master should be considered a whole lot better - it has no stupid level restrictions and thus has a far better range of summonable monsters. If you've watched the Battle City arc of Yugioh, you'll see that Bakura used it once to generate tributes for Ra. Poor Bakura - he never got to really exploit this card's potential. That doesn't mean I won't, though!

The main point of this deck is to keep special summoning Fiend monsters from your graveyard with Puppet Master and abuse the crap out of them. There's a lot of fun things you can do like that – mostly Synchro Summons.

For monsters, there's 3 Puppet Masters, obviously, and 3 Giant Germs as tribute fodder. Goblin King is a great beatstick when used correctly. Dark Tinker, Sinister Sprocket and Dark Resonator give me an incredible range of monsters I can Synchro Summon. Sangan is an obvious choice, both searching out Puppet Master (among other things) and having the ability to be special summoned by it. Armageddon Knight and Dark Grepher dump monsters into the graveyard. Raviel is an easy way to bring the pain to my opponent, with its 4000 ATK and token summoning. Nimble Momonga also generates tribute bait as well as recovering life points, which is important because of the high cost of Puppet Master. Finally, Great Maju Garzett is a super-powered monster if I tribute the right thing to summon it.

For spells, there's Allure of Darkness and Magical Mallet as draw spells. Foolish Burial sends cards from the deck to the graveyard to be summoned by Puppet Master. Monster Reborn and Mystical Space Typhoon are some good staples. Dark Eruption retrieves most of this deck from the graveyard, including Puppet Master, all the Tuners, Giant Germ, Armageddon Knight, and Sangan. Finally, Card of Safe Return gives me an extra draw for those special summoned Fiends.

For traps, I've got Dark Illusion and Dark Bribe as negations – I'd have put in Solemn Judgment, but that card doesn't belong anywhere near Puppet Master, the same way it doesn't belong anywhere near Cyber-Stein in traditional decks. Finally, Threatening Roar prevents my opponent from attacking me if I don't want them to.

The Synchros are the really fun monsters. I've only got 2 monsters in twos; Stardust Dragon and Red Dragon Archfiend. The rest I just have 1 of. There's Dark Strike Fighter for burn; Field Marshall for attack power; Mist Wurm for removal; Black Rose Dragon for field wipe; Goyo Guardian for power; Wayne to summon a Grepher or a Knight; Ancient Fairy Dragon just in case I happen to be playing against Earthbound Immortals or Legendary Ocean, or some such; Colossal Fighter for huge ATK; and finally, Decisive Arms for Lightsworns. I don't know what it does yet, but it has to be good. Plus, I can tribute it for a 6600 ATK Garzett.

Tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 20:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h
