This deck was built on the foundation of my favorite combo: The Immortal of Thunder/ Barrel Behind the Door. As such, it is a combo deck and is subject to all the weaknesses thereof. However, the combo is so simple that all of that doesn't matter. If The Immortal of Thunder is flipped up and sent to the Graveyard then you lose 5000 lp (plus you already gain 3000lp.) You can redirect that damage back easily, winning the duel in mere turns.

Ouch. That "combo" does NOT work.

Immortal of Thunder
FLIP: Increase your Life Points by 3000 points. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you lose 5000 Life Points.

Barrel Behind the Door
You can only activate this card when an effect that inflicts damage to your Life Points is activated (except Battle Damage). Switch the Effect Damage you receive to your opponent's Life Points.

Losing LP is not the same as inflicting damage, so this does not work.

• "Barrel Behind the Door" can only be activated against DAMAGE. It cannot be activated against costs like "Imperial Order" or "Wall of Revealing Light". It cannot be activated against effects that cause you to lose Life Points like "The Immortal of Thunder". It cannot be activated against effects that switch damage, like another "Barrel Behind the Door", because they do not inflict damage, they simply transfer it.


lol, ya beat me to it by a minuet ><*

haha, yeah. actually, i'd thought about comboing Immortal of Thunder with Macrocosmos or the Banishers as well. 3000 LP is never anything to scoff at.

one thing i did notice is that you are running Creature Swaps. You could make this into a burn deck, and then use Swap to give them the Immortals, which will then net them -2000 LP. Just an idea.

You could creature swap the Immortal Thunder to them, and when they try to gain 3000 use bad reaction to simochi? Or just use the 3000 effect then Compulse it back to ur hand?

Well, now that you have found out that the Immortal Thunder/Barrel Behind the Door combo doesn't work, I guess you'll be needing to look for something else. Have you considered looking into using Kozaky/Giant Kozaky? They could be good replacements for the Immortal Thunder card line-up. Sneak in a Shien's Spy or two as well.

Good luck.
