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.

Cyber Style
Hi, I requested a Cyber deck a while back but it was labeled as "inactive". I would like to request it again. Thanks.ChutneyFTW (talk • contribs) 23:03, March 20, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I will make this one, just a few questions: 1) TCG/OCG/both? 2) traditional cyber fusion deck, or try with synchro/xyz stuff? Nephthy (talk • contribs) 15:21, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Nephthy. Glad you can make this for me. Here are the answers: 1) both 2) Can have synchroes/xyz as well. Once again, thanks. I really appreciate it. ChutneyFTW (talk • contribs) 01:21, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for being away for such a long time, here is the deck, how do you like it?

Spellcaster Synchro Help
Hi there, I'm hoping someone may be able to offer assistance. For years I've played Yu-Gi-Oh on and off but recently got back into it with a friend. I'm now looking to create a new deck incorporating a Spellcaster Synchro type format.

I don't play in tournaments only with a friend. He typically uses a Dragon Based Deck (typically including Blue Eyes, Lord of D, Armed Dragon, I can list more if it would be useful) Also he tends to have 60 cards in his deck, so speed would be a major advantage.

I've sorted created a deck with previous cards and recently bought a few more (just waiting for them to arrive) The problem I have is I really can't decide which to cut. I've got favourites but feel that I may be overlooking better strategies, this ends up with far, far too many cards

I've listed every card that is currently 'in the running' (I realise it's a lot) so I can show what I currently have. _______________________________

If at all possible, I really would like to keep the following cards;

Monsters

Silent Magician lvl 4 & 8 (Won me the duel more times than I can count)

Dark Magician & Dark Magician Girl (always loved these cards)

Dark Magician of Chaos (another favourite)

Blizzard Princess (recent addition to the favourites)

Spells

Spellbook of Wisdom

Spell Wall

Raigeki

_________________________

In relation to budget, I'm reasonably flexible, I'd happily spend £30 or in the region of. Although it might be a week or so until I could buy new cards.

As I mentioned, I know this may be an odd request because of cards I'd like to keep, but I'm open to suggestions.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thank you --Dragon1720 (talk • contribs) 19:03, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Not a deckbuilder. Just separated your request out so the deckbuilders didn't have to. -- - Kungfu-mama ( Talk ) 20:06, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. I'm sorry if the format was not very clear. Thanks, --Dragon1720 (talk • contribs) 20:14, March 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not European, but it's not too hard to use a currency convertor. Anyway, are there any particular sites that you buy cards from? -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  21:05, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, should I have put it in $? Ok well, £30 is $45 so round it up to $50. Typically I use kool kingdom (some cards cheap, others really expensive) or ebay. That's it. Thanks, --Dragon1720 (talk • contribs) 21:09, March 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * You didn't need to put it in dollars, also one more question, it looks like you and your friend play in Traditional Format, and if so, I can add in banned cards like Trap Dustshoot and Harpie's Feather Duster, correct?

-- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  21:15, March 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, would you like to use one of the 2 field spells? We don't really need both, so picking one can help determine the course of the deck. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  21:27, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, yes we play in the Traditional Format so banned cards are no problem. In regards to the field spells, I realise how useful Secret Village of the Spellcasters can be, but in all fairness, my friend doesn't use a great deal of spells. He focuses much more on Traps, so on that basis it would seem it would be more useful to have Magical Citadel of Endymion. Hope that helps.

Thank you, --Dragon1720 (talk • contribs) 21:33, March 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just to point this out, but actually it's the other way around. Citadel calls for a very high Spell count to rack up Spell Counters, while playing Village won't hurt you much if you don't control a Spellcaster and run a lot of Traps. Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 01:47, March 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Even so, we can use 3 Spell Power Grasp, which is 1.99 Euro. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:26, March 26, 2013 (UTC)

Actually, the main problem I'm having is grasping what you really want the deck to be. I'm not sure if you need the deck to be flexible or just ram the opponent to death with pure Attack power. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:32, March 26, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'd prefer it to be more of a flexible deck, that's generally how I like to play. If you need to know anything else, just let me know. I appreciate your help. Thanks, --Dragon1720 (talk • contribs) 09:56, March 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * K, the deck can be a super fast, flexible Synchro deck, but using the high level Spellcaster will slow the deck down, sadly. :/ Also, Spell Wall and Spellbook of Wisdom would go more in the beatdown style build of Spellcasters. The build I've got in mind still uses DMoC and, of course, Raigeki, but focuses more on abusing the broken spells that are Forbidden. Would that be ok with you or would you rather change to a slower build that focuses more on just whacking them with those big Spellcasters? Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 14:56, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm really interested in the fast Synchro deck. Thank you, --Dragon1720 (talk • contribs) 19:53, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

Ace - Malefic Chaos Deck help

 * I've been working on this deck for a while, and still am unsure if this is YCS tournament ready yet. I need an expert opinion on it. Open to any suggestions. Need help ASAP.

HeroicMaleficuser (talk • contribs) 13:01, March 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Typically for YCS Malefic builds, the players go for Cyber End and Stardust as Malefics and choose not to run the others in favor of more anti-meta hate like Skill Drain or Macro Cosmos. I honestly think this deck is better off as a casual deck for dueling with friends on a Sunday morning, than a 2 day event. No offense. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  03:50, March 26, 2013 (UTC)

So you're saying I should stick with Cyber End and Stardust, and stay away from the others? I think Truth Dragon should at least be in there as well. Also, I'm kind of unsure about the spells and traps. What should I do about that? HeroicMaleficuser (talk • contribs) 12:22, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Why don't you take a look in the galleries section of this page to see other Malefic decks? That might help you out a little. My biggest concern with Truth Dragon is how much you lose when you opponent springs a Bottomless Trap Hole, a Torrential Tribute, or a Mirror Force on you. All those cards are semi-limited, and they will hurt a ton when you lose Truth. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  12:47, March 26, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, so I should mainly stick with Stardust and Cyber. For the field spells, Is The Seal of Orichalcos okay? HeroicMaleficuser (talk • contribs) 13:19, March 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Not a deckbuilder, but I have helped with the galleries in the past. Here's a link to the Malefic decks: Archetype Gallery M-O, Malefic.  Someone else will need to address your question regarding the Seal of Orichalcos. (Mea culpa, Deckbuilders, if this was inappropriate).  -- - Kungfu-mama  ( Talk ) 15:53, March 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Seal is fine, and was something I was going to suggest anyway, I'd probably go with only 1 copy of the Seal, as it's fairly redundant to have more after you play your first copy, and you can search it out with Terraforming. I'll make this sometime this weekend and post it up. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  02:38, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

Deck Completed - Dark Magician Returns!
Hey there, long time no see! I was wondering if you guys could create a deck centered around the Dark Magician (series) that's competitive. It's obviously not going to be great, but I'd like to use it to win a local or two. UndiscoveredSong (talk • contribs) 01:04, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * I actually made this for someone about a week ago, just let me find it. Is it ok if it's not really budget and uses cards that will be out in LOTG in about 3 weeks? Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 15:24, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Totally okay, I don't mind waiting a few weeks for some stellar cards (no pun intended). UndiscoveredSong (talk • contribs) 20:39, March 26, 2013 (UTC)

The focus is getting Endymion out, and once he's in play, spamming Dark Magician(s) too. Both are targets for the Viruses, and you can side the other 2 copies of each to change them for the deck you play, or mix & match. It's personal preference, really. PWWB gets rid of Dark Magicians sitting in your hand and is just an all-around utility card for a little defense or more aggression. The Extra is kinda whatever, but Rank 7's and Rank 4's are what can be made. In particular, Drago-Sack is awesome, and Lavalval Chain is one of the most important cards because you can make it with a Monk/Exemplar play and get a search or dump Endymion if he's not in play yet. Will that do? Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 15:22, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

I'm back
I'm here to request another deck. Could you build me a competitive Tetsu Trudge-based battle position manipulation deck? Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 19:10, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Seeing as I don't even know what your referring to, it's going to be hard to make a deck. Can you post some links? -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:17, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * He's probably talking about "Search Striker", "Pursuit Chaser" and "Jutte Fighter", all used by Tetsu Trudge. --Missign0 (talk • contribs) 02:27, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

yes, thats what im talking about. Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 16:47, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

/* Power Deck help */
I was wondering if my usual deck would be good enough to use in a YCS tournament. I really need to get ready for the local tournament. If it helps, they do swiss rounds until all but four people are eliminated. Here's my list:
