Forum:The Future of Gladiator Beasts

Well after Shonen Jump Baltimore people where shocked to find a Gladiator Beast deck could triumph over the new Teleport Dark Armed decks. Most people blamed this on fact Teleport Dark Armed are new and they still need to be refined. While this is true, I think even after this happen Gladiator Beasts will still not be done with yet. If Dark Armed Dragon Decks could update to run Synchro, why not Gladiator Beasts? Gladiator Beasts are one of the best toolbox decks so you can easily pull out the right levels you need when you need them. Now there is the problem of a strategy conflict, Gladiator Beasts switch in and out of deck while Synchro would send them to the Graveyard. But with Darius and the new Eqeste getting them back from the graveyard won’t be too hard. Just to point out, I am no huge fan of Gladiator Beasts winning all the major events, but I certainly don’t think replacing them with Teleport Dark Armed helps any bit since that deck is even more costly to use currently. Here is the rough decklist for it, let me know what you think.

First thing you may notice different is three D.D. Crow. Well this is so you have best chance to draw it first hand to stop Destiny Hero - Malicious if you opponent goes first (which would hurt them badly). One could be taken out and put in side deck which would bring us to a 42 card deck. Either way with the possibly of Gladiator Beasts using Synchro and the new Gladiator Beast Reteari coming out (I got no clue what it dose yet lol), Gladiator Beast won’t be going down without a hard fight.
