Forum:Minocensatyros Deck

First, I'd like to take a moment to help you unfortunate souls who can't pronounce the word Minocensatyros. Say it with me now: Minnow-senn-satyr-ose. (Don't worry if you can't pronounce it correctly the first time: it's the most difficult card name I've built a deck around.) Then, I'd like to disabuse you of the notion that you can't do anything with a monster that can't be special summoned, requires one tribute at 1800 ATK, and summons Level 4 Normal Beast-Warriors from the deck. You can do plenty with a monster that can't be special summoned, etc. All you need is a little faith.

See all the wonderful things we can do with a monster whose name is an awkward portmanteau of at least 3 creatures from Greek myth? This deck can go super-aggressive - Beast-Warriors have the best vanilla beatsticks in the game, in this case Gene-Warped Warwolf, Vorse Raider, and Gladiator Beast Andal. It can also synchro summon, using Natural Tune on a monster for a level 8 synchro, or bringing out Shiba-Warrior or Gale for a level 6/7, respectively. Finally, there's Gladiator Beasts. With Andal in, I decided to put Laquari, Bestiari, and Test Tiger in, as well as Heraklinos and Gyzarus.

I think I've explained the monsters well enough, except for Enraged Battle Ox, which is self-explanatory. For spells, I've got Mausoleum of the Emperor to summon Minocensatyros without tributing. Natural Tune gives me access to the extra deck. Shrink is mostly for Gladiator Beasts, but also as a general card for taking out big monsters. Magical Mallet and Allure of Darkness are draw acceleration; Magical Mallet shuffles Warwolves, Raiders, and Andals back into the deck where they can be summoned with Great Long Name, while I can use Vorse Raider or Gale the Whirlwind for Allure. Finally, My Body as a Shield is some negation.

I only have the Royal Decrees as trap cards because I couldn't think of anything that really fit the deck, so I decided that if I wasn't using traps, my opponent wouldn't be either.

Tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 00:59, 2 May 2009 (UTC)Runer5h
