Forum:Crystal Beasts: what to take in and what to take out

Ok, so, I just decided to try out making a Crystal Beast deck for someone close to me and is into the card game as well.

So we all know the basic cards every Crystal Beast deck should have. And for once, I am willing to spend in some of the rarest cards to add into it.

So, this is my list:

-Monsters-


 * 3 x Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus
 * 3 x Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger
 * 3 x Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth
 * 3 x Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise
 * 2 x Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat
 * 2 x Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle
 * 2 x Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle
 * Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder
 * Rainbow Dragon
 * Magna-Slash Dragon
 * Gravi-Crush Dragon

-Spells-


 * 3 x Ancient City – Rainbow Ruins
 * 2 x Crystal Abundance
 * 2 x Crystal Beacon
 * 2 x Crystal Blessing
 * 2 x Crystal Promise
 * Giant Trunade
 * Mystical Space Typhoon

-Traps-


 * Torrential Tribute
 * 2 x Crystal Raigeki
 * Last Resort
 * Crystal Pair
 * Dark Bribe
 * Sakuretsu Armor

I think I'm risking the deck's balance a lot by focusing on Crystal Beast support by taking out many useful stapples and/or semi-stapples. Any idea what can I do with it?

Cards I won't add:
 * Rare Value (a card too rare and somewhat high priced, and all it does it draw 2 cards. No thankyou. :/)
 * Kuraz the Light Monarch (I'm a strict no-metas, which means, NO Monarchs)

Any criticism is allowed (except destructive of course). 201.163.87.158 03:57, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
