Forum:Skull Servants!

The card list for Starstrike Blast was just announced, and look what we have here! It's a support card for the Skull Servants! Quite a find. With this new card, Skull Servant decks should be even more fun to play!

OK, here's the rundown. King of the Skull Servants is obviously the key card here, with its ability to get massive ATK strength. Skull Servant is in for the obvious reason - as fodder for the King. The Lady in Wight is a decent staller, can protect my King of the Skull Servants, and provide a boost as well. Wightmare is a very interesting card. It is also treated as Skull Servant while in the graveyard, and it has an additional effect - I can discard it to either return a Skull Servant/King of the Skull Servants from my RFG zone to my graveyard, or special summon a Lady in Wight or King from my RFG zone! It's great - I can boost an on-field King's ATK by 2000 with the first effect, and get a new one (with 1000 more ATK) with the second effect.

Zombie Master is another good card. It's got high ATK, helping in a good beatdown. And it can revive my Zombies from the graveyard. Pyramid Turtle searches basically most of the deck - every Zombie except The Lady in Wight, in fact. Goblin Zombie searches a lot of cards too. Shutendoji is easily searchable and gives me easy draw power at the easily-refillable cost of 2 Zombies in the graveyard - I can use Wightmare to refill that. It can also allow retrieval of Zombies by putting them on my deck. Finally, Mezuki is easy revival and a staple for Zombies.

The first spell, Creature Swap, is phenomenal in this deck. I could give my opponent a really weak monster like Skull Servant, certainly... but what happens if I swipe over my umpteen-thousand ATK King of the Skull Servants? Unless my opponent ALSO uses Skull Servants, its ATK will be ZERO. So I can destroy it with whatever my opponent has and then special summon it with its own effect. This is also useful with Pyramid Turtle and Goblin Zombie. Veil of Darkness is quick and efficient at dumping of cards into the graveyard, so it can easily power up the King. Dark Eruption returns Wightmare for another go at its effect, or The Lady in Wight to set as a blocker. Allure of Darkness is good draw power. Heavy Storm, MST, and Trunade all get rid of spells and traps that could screw me up. One for One summons a King from my deck while dumping another card in my hand as a boost. Finally, Burial From a Different Dimension refills my graveyard after all that removal.

The traps are fairly obvious. Bottomless Trap Hole gets rid of my opponent's monsters. Starlight Road protects my Veils and counters Mirror Force. Solemn Judgment is a good negater. Phoenix Wing Wind Blast discards a card and gets rid of a threat. Finally, Threatening Roar blocks swarms of attackers, and it's great as a counter to Cold Wave and Mist Wurm.

Tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h (talk • contribs) 20:24, July 14, 2010 (UTC)Runer5h
