DECKS FOR FREE STATUS: ''' Open! '''

Please make sure to check the Archives or Deck Galleries FIRST, before requesting a deck. If the deck requested is already in the Archives/Deck Galleries, the request will be marked as Finished.

''' Please note, any deck that doesn't follow the guidelines below will be removed. '''

If your deck request was removed due to inactivity, feel free to re-request it.

If you have any questions regarding an archived deck, feel free to leave questions on the deckbuilder's talk page, or that of Brooklyn, if the deckbuilder has retired.

General Information
This page is dedicated to helping all duelists out there that need help with their decks. If you're a duelist that needs some help, we'll build you a deck. All you have to do is post here and tell us what kind of deck you want and how much money you're willing to spend getting the cards. If you already have a deck, if you post it in the Deck Template form, we'll revise it and give you our insight. We'll also make a side deck on request, but most likely you'll be directed to this list.

Example Requests

 * Ex1: Hi, could you make me a Butterspy deck? I have a money limit of $300. ~


 * Ex2: Hey, would you look at my Butterspy deck for me? ~

We'll make it a personal project and try to make sure that you're pleased with the final product. Each deckbuilder will only take one deck at a time and they will mark it by adding their part of their username to the header of that section and will let you know when they're done with a project by replacing their name with "Finished" on the request.

Please note that it's your job to collect the cards, our job is to create the perfect decklist for you.

Rules and Guidelines

 * 1) Please check the top of this page to see if Decks for Free! is "Open", if we are "Closed", then we will not accept requests.
 * 2) Make all requests in their own section and not directly beneath another person's request. Click here to start a new request.
 * 3) Have a direction for your deck (Examples: Dark World, Burn, Spellcaster, Bounce, etc.). Random strings of cards will not be helped. Remember that if you ask for a generic theme, such as Swarm or Chaos, you're leaving your deck up to the deckbuilder's preferences. If you don't want that, be more specific in what you want.
 * 4) Please don't post a request and ask for a Meta deck, you can find a decklist for almost any meta deck on most major Yu-Gi-Oh article sites, like TCGPlayer.com or Alter Reality Games. However, if you want to post a request for a meta deck, but want a unique twist to the deck to make it less meta, you may post that, just have something in mind when you do post.
 * 5) Give us at least 2-3 weeks notice if you plan to take a deck to a tournament, it is very difficult to make a deck for a tournament with only a few days of notice.
 * 6) Remember that we do build decks on a budget, but we can't make a great deck for under $20, the modern world doesn't work like that any more, so try to have a budget closer to $40 or $50.
 * 7) Do not ask for more than one deck at a time as others will have to wait longer for the deckbuilder to get to them. If you do post more than 1 request, we will close one of them, until the other one is finished, or just remove it. Also, don't post many requests back-to-back, as that creates more work as well.
 * 8) You may request a deckbuilder to help you, please note that it will only ensure that deckbuilder's help. It will not ensure the immediate help of that deckbuilder.
 * 9) This is a free service, but we are taking time out of our lives to help you. Be courteous and respectful to us, and please don't leave us waiting for you to answer a question.
 * 10) If we believe a duelist has abandoned their request, we'll place a notice on the request warning of it's removal within 24 hours unless some activity happens, but don't count on a notice, as a request can be removed without one.
 * 11) Decks that are not signed with 4 tildes (~) will not be helped, and the request may be removed without a notice.
 * 12) We reserve the ability to delete any and all requests for with or without a reason, including having an attitude toward a deckbuilder(s) on this wiki, abandonment, or failure to follow rules.
 * 13) Completed decks will be moved to the archive after a few days. Also, if you saw a deck on your post, but your post is now gone, check the most recent archive.
 * 14) We expect that you'll have access to and/or be able to buy cards from online retailers or hobby stores, we base all card prices on TCGPlayer or Google Shopping. We can, on request, verify prices on other sites. We will automatically chose the lowest card price for you.
 * 15) This page is not a page for people to post their opinions. Please, if you want to give your opinion on someone's deck, post it on the user's talk page.
 * 16) It is highly recommended that you browse the deck galleries or archives before requesting, you may find what you're looking for there before requesting our assistance. Also, please try to update the builds in the archives or galleries by yourself before asking us, you may ask us if you don't know how to update a deck, but it helps us if you do update an old deck by yourself.
 * 17) Please post all requests at the bottom of this forum, and not at the top of the Requests section, this is for archival purposes, and makes it easier on the staff.
 * 18) Please use proper spelling, grammar, and capitalization. Don't posts requests that have "I hav dek tht nds impvmt", it will be removed without further consideration. This also applies to the title of your request.
 * 19) Please make an account and log in before posting a request. Mere IP signatures will not be accepted, because it makes it more difficult for the deckbuilders to contact you. Making an account is simple and easy, just go to the top of the page and click on “Create an account”, then follow the simple instructions. Requests signed by with mere IP addresses will be given 24 hours to make an account.
 * 20) Remember to use a Template:Decklist for all requests, if you are posting your own deck. You can also post a Screen Shot of your deck from Dueling Network, if that's quicker. But a template is preferred.
 * 21) Please do not ask about the status of your request. When a deckbuilder has taken your request they will tell you that they have taken it, and you'll see a part of their username in the request title. Again, please don't ask about the status, but do at times comment on the deck, otherwise it may be removed because there is no activity from you or a deckbuilder.

ANY REQUEST THAT DOES NOT FOLLOW THESE RULES WILL BE GIVEN 24 HOURS TO COMPLY.

Finished - Malefic Chaos Deck help

 * I've been working on this deck for a while, and still am unsure if this is YCS tournament ready yet. I need an expert opinion on it. Open to any suggestions. Need help ASAP.

HeroicMaleficuser (talk • contribs) 13:01, March 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Typically for YCS Malefic builds, the players go for Cyber End and Stardust as Malefics and choose not to run the others in favor of more anti-meta hate like Skill Drain or Macro Cosmos. I honestly think this deck is better off as a casual deck for dueling with friends on a Sunday morning, than a 2 day event. No offense. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  03:50, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * So you're saying I should stick with Cyber End and Stardust, and stay away from the others? I think Truth Dragon should at least be in there as well. Also, I'm kind of unsure about the spells and traps. What should I do about that?

HeroicMaleficuser (talk • contribs) 12:22, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Why don't you take a look in the galleries section of this page to see other Malefic decks? That might help you out a little. My biggest concern with Truth Dragon is how much you lose when you opponent springs a Bottomless Trap Hole, a Torrential Tribute, or a Mirror Force on you. All those cards are semi-limited, and they will hurt a ton when you lose Truth. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  12:47, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, so I should mainly stick with Stardust and Cyber. For the field spells, is The Seal of Orichalcos okay?

HeroicMaleficuser (talk • contribs) 13:19, March 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Not a deckbuilder, but I have helped with the galleries in the past. Here's a link to the Malefic decks: Archetype Gallery M-O, Malefic.  Someone else will need to address your question regarding the Seal of Orichalcos. (Mea culpa, Deckbuilders, if this was inappropriate).  -- - Kungfu-mama  ( Talk ) 15:53, March 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Seal is fine, and was something I was going to suggest anyway, I'd probably go with only 1 copy of the Seal, as it's fairly redundant to have more after you play your first copy, and you can search it out with Terraforming. I'll make this sometime this weekend and post it up. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  02:38, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

The basic idea is to summon your Malefic and just overwhelm your opponent with your pure ATK power and anti-meta backrow. Your backrow isn't going anywhere as we have 2 Dark Bribe, 1 Solemn Judgment, and 1 The Huge Revolution is Over. Honestly, I wasn't sure what your budget was, otherwise I would advise you to use 3 Cardcar D over the Upstart Goblin, but seeing as Cardcar D is still like at $40+ for a single copy, you probably can't afford that. Anyway, the best way to learn is to play with the deck. The only card that Macro Cosmos hurts is Thunder King Rai-Oh, but you probably won't care too much as Macro Cosmos deals with Fire King, Machina Fortress, Dark World, and Mermail, so I'd say it's a fair trade. Most of the deck should be really cheap, except maybe the Forbidden Lances, if you don't want either Lance or Dress, then Safe Zone can work, but it has severe drawbacks. Anyway, just tell me if there is something you don't like and I'll see what I can do about that. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  22:43, March 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, use a free site like Dueling Network or a free program like YGOPro to test out the deck and see how it runs. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  03:00, March 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Can you put in any Xyz Monsters?

HeroicMaleficuser (talk • contribs) 02:30, March 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * I can only really justify adding in Rank 8 Xyz(s), as those are really the only ones this deck can make when Seal isn't in play. Not sure what the price of Number 107 will be, but it will probably be kinda cheap, unless some crazy good deck that can make Rank 8's shows up. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  03:24, March 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay. Also, I sided 3 Helios - The Primordial Sun in Dueling Network. For the final list, should those be in there? I think they could be useful in Xyz Summons. Oh, I almost forgot. My budget is pretty cheap, at around $30. Thanks. HeroicMaleficuser (talk • contribs) 18:29, April 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * You can side it in if you want, but it's really not that useful, plus the access to Rank 4 Xyz(s) isn't really needed. Also, if you play your lone copy of The Seal, just forget about the Extra Deck at that point. Dropped the lances to add in cheaper cards. I'm pretty sure there's no way to drop the price even more. Just try to get commons of the cards you need. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  03:15, April 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm getting a job pretty soon, so money shouldn't be of no object pretty soon. HeroicMaleficuser (talk • contribs) 20:00, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

Finished - Harpie Deck
I'm back for the second time, and this time I would like to request a Harpie deck. It can TCG and OCG, because it's mostly going to be an online deck. No budget either. Also, make it as competitive as you can. Jones623 (talk • contribs) 20:45, March 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * I made one of these not too long ago, I'll make some changes to it and work out the few problems it had. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 21:03, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

With their new support, Harpies can be a powerful contender in the meta. Channeler is a one card Xyz summon by ditching a Harpie card, doesn't matter whether its a monster or a spell, so dead Hunting Grounds or any of the Harpie monsters can become an Xyz monster. If you have Channeler and another 2 Harpie cards you can go into Shock Master or you can go into Pet Mirage Dragon, you would use Channeler to ditch a Harpie card, grab Dancer and use her effect on Channeler, then use Channeler's effect. You can also go into Harpie's Pet Dragon to get a Rank 7 Xyz, Drago-Sacks can generate tokens so he wouldn't be able to get destroyed and Big Eye will steal a monster whether it be their boss monster, a monster to Xyz summon with, or just so you can attack for game. Hunter Owl is a beatstick and can get to be a pretty powerful one. Windrose acts as another Heavy Storm and a gigantic beater, with Hysteric Party, Daigusto Emeral, Queen, and Channeler you can get 5 Winds in grave fairly easily. Speaking of Emeral, he acts as a mini Pot of Avarice, recycling 3 monsters and drawing 1 which can be helpful when you run low on monsters. The spells and traps are fairly simple, Hysteric Sign gets you Egotist which will get you Cyber Harpie Lady and when destroyed 3 Harpies with different names from your deck to your hand. Only 1 Compulsory Evacuation Device because you can use Lightning Chidori in the same manner, return the Extra Deck monsters that will cause you trouble, or a monster that is hard to summon and mess with their next draw. The rest is pretty much staples. Will this work for you? Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 17:32, April 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've never used Harpies before, so I'll test it and see how it goes. Jones623 (talk • contribs) 19:12, April 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, I think you meant Flying Kamakiri 1 instead of Flying Kamakiri 2.


 * Yea I meant to put Flying Kamakiri 1, my bad, Its fixed now, thanks for telling me. I hope the deck is to your likings. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 20:56, April 2, 2013 (UTC)

SM10 - I'm back
I'm here to request another deck. Could you build me a competitive Tetsu Trudge-based battle position manipulation deck? Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 19:10, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Seeing as I don't even know what your referring to, it's going to be hard to make a deck. Can you post some links? -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:17, March 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * He's probably talking about "Search Striker", "Pursuit Chaser" and "Jutte Fighter", all used by Tetsu Trudge. --Missign0 (talk • contribs) 02:27, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

yes, thats what im talking about. Guardmaster (talk • contribs) 16:47, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

I think I have an idea. Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 14:37, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

SM10 - Thief-theme Deck
Alright, I've never posted on Wiki before so forgive me if something is messed up here. Anyways, I've been trying to put together a thief-themed deck for a friend's birthday but I'm having issues making it work.

Basically, I'm looking for a deck centered around removing cards from my opponent's hand/deck (Specifically, things like Confiscation, White Magical Hat, Change of Heart, etc., as they fit the "thief" theme). It doesn't really matter if they go to the graveyard or banished or what. It's going to be just for casual play so banished cards are perfectly fine if they'll help.

I know it's not going to be a competitive deck by any standard, though I want something that can at least put up a fight, something which my own efforts haven't been able to achieve (though, my own card supply with effects of this nature are limited). I'm not really concerned about a budget so I'll just buy whatever I don'http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Decks_for_Free!?action=edit&section=21#t have. Also I don't really care what else the deck can do as long as it keeps that thief theme. If it needs to have a more specific focus though I'll find something. So... any thoughts?

Shadow Serenity 57 (talk • contribs) 01:16, March 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Why not use Vampire Lady and Vampire Lord? -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  01:50, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

They're in there already also, but the deck just doesn't mesh well and it's not consistent. I've tried looking around online for other builds like zombie-specific ones including those, but I haven't had any luck finding anything. It doesn't look like these types of decks are very popular (I guess with good reason since they're not exactly competitive level these days).

Shadow Serenity 57 (talk • contribs) 01:58, March 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Pretty sure there's a Vampire deck somewhere in the Galleries. Just look under the Attribute/Type Gallery. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  02:06, March 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, look under the Attribute/Type gallery and then look in the T-Z Gallery. If you like that I can make slight modifications to that. Use Ctrl+F in the T-Z Gallery and search "Vampire". -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  02:10, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

Ah, okay. I checked the theme and monster galleries but didn't find anything, wouldn't imagine there'd have been anything that might work in the other two. Anywyas... before I devote your time to this, is there anything other than flat-out zombies that you think might be usable? If not, then go ahead with that plan. I'm just concerned because the person it's for already runs a zombie deck, but if that's all that works, then we'll go with it.

Shadow Serenity 57 (talk • contribs) 02:17, March 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ace, one of my old Convulsion of Nature decks runs Great Phantom Thief, White Magical Hat, and other cards to control the hand. I could fix it for Traditional Format. Do you think that will work for your friend, Shadow Serenity? Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 13:38, March 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think that deck would probably be better for this request. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  13:49, March 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * That actually sounds perfect! Thanks.

76.22.117.215 (talk) 15:22, March 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oops, that's me there above, sorry. Not used to having to log in on here, heh.

Finished - Raviel, Lord of Phantasms.
Hi, I was wondering if someone could give some guidance as to making a Raviel deck.

It doesn't need to be overly-competetive: it's only for casual play with a couple of friends.

I was thinking that since I don't have any real "top tier" cards like Solemn, stuff like that, that a possible way to go would be to stall until I get the fiends out. I know this would be slow, but like I said it doesn't really need to be competitive - the deck just needs to work basically.

Please no Tour Guides.

I've got Gorz, Dark Necrofear, 2x Raviel, Night Assailant. Also got access to a relatively decent amount of dark fiends, but only a few have "swarm" abilities.

No syncro/XYZ required.

Got most staple spells. Got Wabokus, Scrap-iron scarecrows, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Bob40001 (talk • contribs) 15:10, April 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Note to self. Think Card Guard and Phantom Skyblaster, both can be played in triplicate and Raviel is a Special Summon, and as a cherry on top, both are really cheap, Skyblaster being around $1 a copy and Guard being around 10 cents a copy (Prices from TCGPlayer.com). Also, I'm pretty sure we need to include either 2-3 Dark Bribe or Safe Zone to help cover for Raviel after he's been summoned. Make your pick. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  03:35, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

Card Guard and Phantom Skyblaster look good. I think I've already got one Skyblaster. I think the Bribes would be better. Bob40001 (talk • contribs) 10:21, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

Remember to activate Fires of Doomsday during you opponent's End Phase, that way you're free to summon more monsters on your own. Play around with this deck on DN or YGOPro, either way I'm fairly confident it will work fine. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  00:34, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks very much! Bob40001 (talk • contribs) 08:48, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Ace - Help with Dragon Beatdown
Hi, Deckbuilders. This is a different sort of request. I have a decklist given to me a LONG time ago by Otakon7. Basically, this beatdown deck centers on the effect of Trident Dragion. The original list follows.

Montage'D a.k.a. Dragon Beatdown

As you can see, it is sorely out of date. Is there anyway this deck can be revised to be as competitive as possible in today's meta? No budget on this one. I'm really curious as to what you'll come up with. Would appreciate an Extra deck list as well.

Thanks in advance. -- - Kungfu-mama ( Talk ) 13:51, April 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Did you want to keep the Normal Monsters? I think it would be kinda easy to make Thunder End Dragon if you did. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:24, April 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * I just realized something...Red-Eyes Wyvern works with Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Delta Flyer works with Red-Eyes Black Dragon. Just saying, it's a useful way to use the extra Wyverns now that REDMD is Limited. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  23:27, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Yup, totally agree. This deck was constructed prior to Delta Flyer coming out, but I know Delta is a great card. Would like to keep the Normals here (I admit, I'm totally stupid about BEWD, though even that card is up for chopping), but we're shooting for what works best. Don't know if you're thinking about a Rabbit build (or if that is even very viable) but that's okay by me too. Alexandrite Dragon, Rabidragon... there are a ton of possibilities. I just haven't had the time to sit down and research it all. -- - Kungfu-mama ( Talk ) 13:02, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

Or Divine Dragon Apocralyph. ;D. -- - Kungfu-mama ( Talk ) 23:03, April 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * I really don't know where to take this. I mean the basic fact is that Delta Flyer and Hieratic Dragon of Tefnuit just make Trident too easy to summon, and as early as turn 2. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  02:47, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

Sounds like you're running into the same thing I did - there are so many ways to go. One of the things about the original deck that always gave me pause was the necessity of the Dark dragons, since the deck used Dark Factory of Mass Production. There just aren't that many good Dark dragons. Dark Factory may no longer be necessary, though, given the number of Light Dragons that have come out, and the support that comes with them. I mean, look at Radius, the Half-Moon Dragon, and Parsec, the Interstellar Dragon.

So, it all boils down to this: go ahead and go with your gut instinct, Ace. Shoot for the best dragon beatdown you can (The Tefnuit/Delta combo sounds fine), and I'll be very happy. Thanks. -- - Kungfu-mama ( Talk ) 17:51, April 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Might do something with this over the weekend if time permits. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  01:12, April 11, 2013 (UTC)

'K. Thanks, Ace. -- - Kungfu-mama ( Talk ) 15:56, April 11, 2013 (UTC)

Malefic Ur
I would like help making a deck using "Beast Machine Lord Barbaros Ur", "Malefic Cyber End Dragon" and "Geartown". Price is no object; it just needs to beat everything currently in use.

ps: This is my first time using this Wiki and I hope it works.
