A Kindred Soul?
I'm a big fan of esoteric decks too. I just make new and bizarre decks for fun, in my spare time. And I have comments for each of your decks:
 * Dragon Synchro: I think you should have 3 Magna Dragos, and 3 Masked Dragons to search them out.
 * Diabolos/Sky Scourges: I'd put Kuriboh/Winged Kuriboh into that deck for sure, with The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh as a search card. They're both perfect for the deck and really easy to search. Also, you could use Mausoleum of the Emperor to easily summon Diabolos.

Could you take a look at some of my decks? Runer5h 02:49, 7 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * Well, I sort of counter that by rarely playing the same deck twice in a row. In reality, my main decks are Normal Beatdown, a modified Zombie Madness structure deck, Mechanical Hound lockdown (my newest one), a control deck, and (my favorite) a quite modified Invincible Fortress Rock deck. I put in my all-time favorite card: Enraged Muka Muka. It's my favorite because it's searchable with Giant Rat, can get to be incredibly huge, and it basically never lets me down in a duel. It can also turn the deck from a passive-aggressive style into a full-on aggressive deck. Runer5h 03:14, 7 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Adminship?

 * I don't know, really. I didn't even know I had been made admin at first.  I've just been here awhile. Danny Lilithborne 01:29, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Yusei's "Warrior" monsters
No, because they're not all Synchro Monsters. They're all monsters with "・ウォリアー" (pronouced "Woriā") in their Japanese name. It is not the same name as the Type. That Warrior is spelled " 戦(せん)士(し)族</rb>(</rp>ぞく</rt>)</rp> " and pronounced "Senshizoku". The way to distinguish them in English is one is called "Warrior" monsters and the other is called Warrior-Type monsters, similar to how there's a difference between "Toon" monsters and Toon Monsters. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:52, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Eraser-to-Dark-Ruler
No, I don't intend to bring out both in the same turn. It would basically be impossible. And I think that, with enough negation, Eraser should be able to stay on the field until my turn - especially because I doubt a potential opponent would think that I was trying to make an OTK out of it. (Look at it: must be tribute summoned with 3 tributes, and can grow to astronomical levels. Of all things to expect next, The Dark Ruler would not be one of them.) Runer5h 02:05, 12 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * That could be problematic. I'm banking on my opponent thinking that I'd only destroy it as a last resort, and they're probably not expecting me to use it as a field-clearing mechanism - I'd expect someone to use Demise for that. Runer5h 19:38, 14 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

thanks
thanks messenger of the dark for fixing my page.--Gyzarus 01:35, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

thanks
Thanks, Messenger, for the post. I'll contact you if I need any help on the site or on my deck. It's good to hear that you prefer Dragon monsters, they're some of my favourites too.

Hi!
Hi, Messenger of the dark. I think you are a good guy! Metagame.com 10:23, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

As you requested...
I'm looking at your deck. Let's see what I find...

Well, from a cursory glance it looks a whole lot like Jack Atlas' deck. Anyways, I think you might need some draw power - you've got 40 cards and exactly two of them allow you to draw. And those two can't even really be activated during your own turn. I'd suggest Magical Mallet as a basic (this is actually a really useful card, and in my opinion is the best non-specific draw spell) and Allure of Darkness as well, if you can get it. Also, see if you can get some more synchros, because right now you're using a not-so-grand total of 4 spots out of the maximum 15. And definitely get Multiple Piece Golem too. Those are my basic thoughts. Runer5h 21:18, 25 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * Personally, I think that for specific draw spells, you need twice the amount of card used for it (D-Heroes for Destiny Draw, DARK monsters for Allure) to put the draw spell in. Meanwhile, if you didn't find Multiple Piece Golem useful, then by all means don't put it in. Runer5h 22:56, 25 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Your Remarks
Oh, god, yes. Proof of Powerlessness is an awesome idea. But, unfortunately, GotSAO isn't. There's too much special summoning of high level monsters (Miracle Jurassic Egg, Fossil Excavation, Hunting Instinct) for it to work. I was thinking of side-decking Volcanic Eruption along with Babycerasaurus to ensure that I don't leave myself defenseless on my opponent's turn. Runer5h 01:20, 26 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Friendly Competition
Hey, Messenger. I know you like bizarre deck ideas, so I have a proposition for you. But first..

http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Limited_Edition_Pack_15

Look at this article. Please note that it is composed of all the super-powered cards from the anime that we never dared hope would be released.

Now about my proposition: how about we each try to make a deck based around one of these cards? (I'm counting Clear Vice Dragon and Clear World as one card for the purposes of this contest, because they're in the same archetype.) I'd be happy to do so.

If you accept, the rules are as follows:
 * 1) We have to do different cards. The options are as follows: Orichalcos Shunoros - Guardian Eatos - Darkness Neo-Sphere - Clear World/Clear Vice Dragon.
 * 2) Once we are in agreement about which card we are doing, we each have until the end of the next day to submit our concept deck to the other.
 * 3) We then submit the decks to the forums and let the popular vote decide.

What do you think? Runer5h 19:45, 27 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * Okay... here's an idea; we each have until the end of Sunday to do our deck. How do you like that? I call Orichalcos Shunoros, by the way. Runer5h 02:04, 28 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

http://miniblogs.lv/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/mr_burns.jpg

See there for my response. Let's roll - you have 4 days, so get crackin'. Runer5h 03:20, 28 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * Oh, by the way; make a side deck if you can. Runer5h 19:58, 28 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Ready.
I've got my deck here - it's am anti-meta build that uses Shunoros to make big, nigh-indestructible normal monsters.

And here's the side deck.
 * Light-Imprisoning Mirror x2
 * D.D. Designator x2
 * Twister x2
 * Big Bang Shot x3
 * Evoltector Chevalier x3
 * Axe of Despair x2
 * United We Stand x1

Give me your decklist as soon as you can - then, we need to figure out how to coordinate this. Runer5h 17:24, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * Okay. Here's how I think this should work. When your deck is ready, I'll create the forum, put my deck and relevant explanations, and then alert you that I'm done. Then, you post your own deck with explanations on the same forum. Sounds good? Runer5h 17:29, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * Please do - I can't wait to see it! By the way, if you had fun with this, why not have another competition between us? You choose the parameters this time (for instance, it can only be based on cards from a certain set, etc). Runer5h 19:35, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Is It Ready?
Come on! Runer5h 19:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * You said it would be ready this morning - please, be prompt. I can't post my deck until you do. Runer5h 01:41, 2 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Okay, seriously. It's the end of the third day after you said you'd be done. I trust you have a legitimate reason for your delay, but please, please, finish! Runer5h 01:19, 4 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * Okay. Thank you. I'll make the thread when I have time - I'm a little busy right now. Runer5h 23:13, 10 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Page Created.
Sorry for the wait. Post yours ASAP, please. Runer5h 02:10, 11 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * This is going to be awesome. Runer5h 02:59, 11 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * Don't worry; The Horror was nice enough to make a Voting template for us! Runer5h 19:17, 11 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Thanks
Hi Messenger, thanks for letting me know about Spell Shattering Arrow and the card pages, that's a big help. To answer your question, whenever the hobby league I go to holds tournaments, one person will duel the four members of the team, one at a time, and get one card of their choice for each team member the beat. If they beat all four (this doesn't happen very often), they will get one extra card. So, that's basically what being on the team is.

Thanks again for your help. Black rose27 01:25, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, so far...
Your deck seems to beating mine in votes, but I won't give up hope yet. When would you like to have the competition end? And what should be the parameters of the next one? Runer5h 02:50, 13 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * I'm edging up on you! Come on, when will this end? Runer5h 23:15, 14 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * Oh well. I'm doing better than I was. But I think you ought to choose the next contest. Runer5h 02:26, 15 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * Hey: do you mind taking a look at my Vanity's Mask Lock deck? Runer5h 02:26, 15 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * Well, I don't know about suggestions for what you can do, but you can't do decks based around astronomical bodies, for one (I've actually got two of those). Runer5h 02:43, 15 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Thanks for the Critiques. However..
It's not exactly true. The deck's strategy isn't actually Synchro Summoning; I just put that part in because I already had a Tuner that could prevent its destruction by battle. Basically, it's a fallback option. And it's a lot more difficult to use Vanity's Ruler; in fact, about twice as hard. So, I'm thinking that that will stay out. But Soul Taker isn't such a bad idea. I'll swap that in. Runer5h 19:11, 15 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Why Yes!
I do reside in America! Runer5h 02:59, 18 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * What does that mean; are you saying that we choose a Duel Terminal archetype and make a deck around it? BTW, please look at my Abusive Puppetry deck, it needs serious work. BioMasterZap just owned it - twice. Runer5h 03:03, 18 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h


 * I saw. Thanks. So, we each choose an archetype... I'd choose Dragunity, but as that's not quite out yet can I get Naturia? Runer5h 03:10, 18 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h
