Forum:Life Point Gain Deck

Hear the good news! Life point gain has, at long last, become a viable strategy! This is mostly because of Ancient Prophecy, which features many of Luna's cards, which gain life points for the user. So, I guess you could call this a realistic version of Luna's deck.

Well, here's how I plan to: a) Gain a lot of life points, very quickly, and: b) Make use of all those life points.

For monsters, Nimble Momonga is a must. It increases field presence and my life points at the same time! Kuribon may seem a little gimmicky, but it blocks an attack and increases my LP - and bounces itself back to my hand, so I can use it again and again. Zeradias searches the Sanctuary (of course I put the Sanctuary in the Sky in). Sunny Pixie serves as a tuner with Life Point gain appended. Then, there's Nova Summoner. It's amazing in this deck; I can search out Kuribon to block an attack, Sunny Pixie if I'm ready to synchro summon... and Airknight Parshath. It's a card-drawing piercing hell of a card. Not to mention its advanced form, Neo-Parshath, which serves as the deck's win condition by virtue of its ATK boosting effect. Then, Golden Ladybug is a quick way to increase my lifepoints without losing any sort of advantage. Sangan searches out most of this deck. Prime Material Dragon techs against burn decks, has a neat anti-destruction effect, and just fits in with the whole fairy theme. Finally, Honest is an obvious choice with so many LIGHT monsters.

First and foremost on the spell list is the reason why I think that Life Point Gain decks may soon be a viable strategy; Ancient Leaf! In this deck, it's Pot of Greed. The Sanctuary in the Sky stops battle damage against most of the deck's monsters, and supplements Nova Summoner and Neo-Parshath. It's so important for the deck that I put in Magic Reflector (which is so much better than Field Barrier) to protect it. Book of Moon is an all-around tech card that allows me to make better use of the Parshath Piercing abilities. Spell Absorption can gain life points very quickly, so it goes in. Finally, there's Monster Reborn, MST, and Twister - the last one is another bit of tech.

For traps, I've got 3 Wind Blasts to spin away my opponent's cards. Dark Bribe takes preference over Solemn Judgment because I REALLY don't want to pay away that many life points. Mirror Force is a great card, and Radiant Mirror Force is good swarming tech.

In the extra deck, there's Ancient Holy Wyvern, which works well when I have a lot of life points. Ancient Fairy Dragon goes in because, after all, this is practically Luna's deck; also, it has some neat life point gaining and swarming effects. Thought Ruler Archfiend and Magical Android gain life points. Catastor is a great tech card (see my featured card article about it!) Avenging Knight Parshath is an obvious choice. Finally, there's Stardust Dragon, Light End Dragon, and Black Rose Dragon - all excellent cards.

Tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 16:01, 8 July 2009 (UTC)Runer5h
