Forum:Des Gardius/Necrofear Deck

Masked Beast Des Gardius has always fascinated me. It's a powerful Fiend with an interesting theft effect and weird summoning conditions. For that matter, Dark Necrofear interested me too for precisely the same reasons. So, I figured I'd make a deck out of both.

For the record, this deck follows the September '09 lists... so, here's the run-down. I have 3 each of Des Gardius and Necrofear, and 3 Melchids to boot (Melchid beats Grand Tiki Elder because of its slightly higher DEF). I'm not worried about having too many of any of these. Summoner Monk can bring out Melchid for a quick Des Gardius, by tributing Summoner Monk and Melchid. Sangan is a good searcher and a Fiend to boot, and thus compatible with Necrofear. Mystic Tomato is a must with the plethora of DARK monsters in the deck. Giant Germ is a quite good monster for walling. Because I plan to use multiple Dark Necrofears in any given duel, Doomsday Horror can make use of and recycle my Fiends; it can also boost from my opponent's removed monsters. Darknight Parshath also works with Doomsday Horror and provides draw power. Raven is an amazing tuner, loading the grave for Necrofear, boosting its own ATK, and modulating its level. Dark Mimic LV3 provides draw power. Gorz and Tragoedia provide emergency defense, and Tragoedia has a multitude of amazing effects (theft via discard, level modulation) that make it awesome. Finally, Armageddon Knight loads my graveyard for Necrofear.

One thing that this deck has going for it is that, being both DARK and level 8, Necrofear and Des Gardius have good draw power with them. Specifically, Trade-In, Allure of Darkness, and Veil of Darkness. The latter can load my graveyard extremely quickly with Fiends. The Mask of Remnants has the ability to shuffle itself back into the deck and become useful to me. Foolish Burial should be an obvious pick. Finally, the 2 Fissures allow for some powerful direct attacks; with all the theft going on, it should be easy.

Call of the Haunted is the obvious staple card here. Escape from the Dark Dimension should be about as easy to activate in this deck. Mirror Force is another obvious staple. Finally, the Viruses are compatible with Necrofear and Des Gardius (and, potentially, Darknight Parshath or Doomsday Horror). Eradicator will probably only be useful with Des Gardius, but it means the ability to lock my opponent out of spells or traps, and snatching their monster into the bargain!

Also, I have a list of Synchro monsters, notable only for its inclusion of Fiend Roar Deities. Tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 22:08, 31 August 2009 (UTC)Runer5h
