Forum:Archfiend/Fiend Deck

Okay so right now my most powerful deck is a pure beat down, all 1900 attackers with no specific types or attributes in mind, most of my magic trap are just things to counter monsters and keep the opponent field clear, sakaretsu armors, heavy storm, mst, etc.

Next comes my zombies which I just boosted a little but of course EVERYONE decided to run out and grab a zombie world deck so I feel completely unoriginal and it's boring when zombie world doesn't matter cause your opponent runs zombies too so I kinda want to try something else. I'm a big fan of dark themes and such so I decided if zombies are gonna be boring then I'm just gonna run fiends.

Well I looked around for Fiend archetypes and the only ones that seem supported and that are common and cheap enough for me to make feasible are archfiends. So I've been collecting fiend cards, archies in particular and as much support as I can muster. This morning my friend had me throw together the cards I had and duel with them cause he was bored so I did the best I could with what I had on hand and came up with this:

Monsters 21 Imprisoned Queen Archfiend x2 Brain Golem x1 Summoned Skull x1 Marie the Fallen One x2 Archfiend General x1 Shadowknight Archfiend x1 Archfiend Soldier x2 Opticlops x1 La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp x1 Beiige, Vangaurd of Dark World x1 Ryu-Kishin Powered x2 Dark Crusader x3 Emperor Sem x1 Newdoria x1

Magic 7 Dark Hole x1 Change of Heart x1 Monster Reborn x1 Graceful Charity x1 Axe of Despair x1 Pandemonium x1 Spell Shattering Arrow x1

Trap 13 Half or Nothing x2 Hate Buster x1 Mirror Force (OCG *sadface*) x1 Bottomless Trap Hole x1 Archfiend's Roar x3 Numinous Healer x2 Soul Absorbing Machine x2 Battle Scarred x1

Yes I know the deck is halfhazard, I didn't even plan building it yet cause I didn't have anywhere near the right cards, but as it stands I've been able to tell that the deck is EXTREMELY good in terms of beatdown which I love so much. The Dark Crusaders are very key with this. Imprisoned queen archfiends and marie the fallen ones, as well as beiige are PERFECT tribute fodder for them (wish I had more beiige in fact).

The thing is suffers most with though is that it is almost completely unable to defend itself, cards tend to get destroyed, mauled and decimated in the blink of an eye to the point where even the card costs are superfluous because they never stay on the field long enough to make me pay. My opponenet's don't even usually let me revive my archfiends with archfiend's roar even knowing the monster will only last a turn cause they have that much kill power and they don't even have to worry about spending it on a permanent monster later.

Cards I've collected for use in the deck: Fiends: Emissary from Pandemonium x1 Summoned Skull x3 Shadowknight Archfiend x3 Trap Eater x1 The Bistro Butcher x1 La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp x2 Mad Archfiend x1 Element Doom x1 Dark Jeroid x1 Big Eye x1 Wall of Illusion x4 Kryuel x1 Infernalqueen Archfiend x1 Dark Resonator x1 Desrook Archfiend x2 Vilepawn Archfiend x2 Dark Tinker x4 Mask of Darkness x1 Hiro's Shadow Scout x1 Bite Shoes x1 D.D. Trainer x2

Magic: Mist Body x1

Trap: Nutrient Z x2

I don't really have any super special "oh !@#$ magically delicious gotta have in this deck" magic and trap cards worth mentioning. I have alot of the staples such as Raigeki break and fissure and the like. The only one that might be worth looking into is an eradicator epidemic virus which is kinda iffy but possibly effective. Basically when it comes to suggesting the magic/traps just try to picture what isn't rare or highly expensive cause I mostly rely off of trades and even more so gifted cards.

If anyone has any advice on how to beef this deck up more I'd love to hear it. If at all possible try to use the cards I have available or very easy to find ones, but if there are must haves that I should tell my friends to be on the lookout for please by all means let me know. I'm kinda interested in Dark world monsters as well because of the Dark Crusaders.

Thanks to anyone who can offer suggestions Vampiremessiah51 23:38, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
