Forum:Deck Profile: Birdman Tengu Valley

I thought I'd switch it up a bit, and instead of the standard forum post, I'd do a deck profile, because this is a deck I like a lot and I wanted to share it with everybody, along with my reasons for card choices. So, here it is, my Mist Valley deck. It's at 41 right now, I'm trying to cut it down to 40. Playtesting will tell me what I can drop.

Monsters: (17)
 * 3 Mist Valley Falcon: I like this card a lot. He's a 2000 beater and he combos well with so many of the cards in the deck. I'll point them out later.
 * 3 Reborn Tengu: It's in the deck name, and it's the best card of the format. I love the fact that it's WIND so I can abuse the crap out of it.
 * 3 Mist Valley Soldier: He's a level 4 Tuner, which is the big reason I play him. He combos incredibly well with Safe Zone: it turns him into Neo-Spacian Grand Mole.
 * 2 Genex Blastfan: This card is great for the deck. It searches Birdman whenever it's Special Summoned, which in this deck happens a lot.
 * 1 Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite: I love this card in the deck, it combos with everything that Falcon does and it's a free +1 coming out of the Grave.
 * 3 Genex Ally Birdman: This card is the main Tuner and one of the best cards in the deck. It sets off the Divine Wind, which leads to so many game-winning combos.
 * 2 Summoner Monk: In all honesty, I think this is the best suggestion I've ever received. I haven't gotten a lot of chance to test him, but the potential is definitely there. He finally gives me something to do with dead Terraformings, so I'm testing out running it at 3. He can search Blastfan so I can grab Birdman and gain advantage, and he also gives me another way to pull off my ridiculous first turn move. I used to need Birdman + Blastfan + Divine Wind, but now I just need Monk + Divine Wind + ANY Spell card. And I get an extra monster that way.

Spells: (15)
 * 1 Book of Moon: Staple. Stops you form losing games. Run it.
 * 1 Dark Hole: Staple. Wins games. Run it.
 * 3 Divine Wind of Mist Valley: This is the best card in the deck. Once per turn, by bouncing a WIND monster, I can Special Summon a WIND monster from my deck. Free advantage. Ridiculous toolboxing. Great card. Combo with Falcon for big damage.
 * 1 Heavy Storm: Staple. Wins games. Run it.
 * 1 Monster Reborn: Staple. Wins games. Run it.
 * 3 Mystical Space Typhoon: Staple. Good card. Run it.
 * 1 Pot of Avarice: Recycles Tengus and Monks to make use of dead Terraformings. Good card. +1.
 * 2 Swords of Revealing Light: I was SO happy when Konami semi'd this. I will abuse this card all day. Falcon, bounce, reset countdown. Rinse and repeat.
 * 3 Terraforming: Searches the Field Spell. Adds consistency. I couldn't run 3 before because of dead draws, but now that I found out about Monk's potential, I'm trying it.

Traps: (8)
 * 2 Call of the Haunted: Again, I was SO happy when Konami semi'd this. Revive a monster. Bounce it or Synch with it. Then bounce Call. Rinse and repeat. Major abuse with Falcon.
 * 2 Compulsory Evacuation Device: Normally I prefer D Prison but Compulse is so much better in this deck. I can use it to protect my monsters and plus off of Divine Wind, and with the upcoming Heavy + 3 MST format, chainables will be nice.
 * 1 Mirror Force: Staple. Wins games. Run it.
 * 1 Safe Zone: I like this card a lot. Especially with the 3 MST format. They MST it, I chain, put it on their monster and blow it up. Put it on their monster, bounce it with Falcon, blow a monster up.
 * 1 Solemn Judgment: Staple. Stops you from losing games. Run it.
 * 1 Torrential Tribute: Staple. Wins games. Run it.

Extra Deck: (15): Mostly Staple Synchros and Rank 4 Xyzs, but there are a few I want to talk about.
 * 1 Arcanite Magician: Birdman and Blastfan or Birdman and Monk. Pop 2. Good card.
 * 2 Ancient Fairy Dragon: 2 is necessary for the turn 1 explosion. I like it a lot, and it's great for GK and Dragunity matchups.
 * 1 Mist Valley Thunder Lord: This is the best card in the deck. Seriously. It's boucne effect is a quick effect, which means I can do all the same things with Falcon AT ANY TIME. The combos are too many to list. The card is great. I love it.

Well, that's my Deck Profile. I hope you enjoyed it, and please try this deck out! It's a lot of fun! P.S. I can't afford Warnings, otherwise I'd squeeze them in. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 03:37, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
